"I need the Saintess!"
Professor Mia said.
Saintess was one of the most powerful healers in the world. There are many legends of Saintess, like
Regardless of whether the legend of them resurrecting the dead is true or not, they have powerful healing spells that can regrow all the limbs at once.
She needed Saintess's healing powers if she wanted to heal Zero. If a Saintess can't help him then maybe no healer in this world can.
"Saintess…"
Professor Delvin couldn't understand why Professor Mia was so desperate to find Saintess.
Upon observing Professor Mia, he did not notice any injuries on her. On the contrary, he thought she had beco more powerful than ever before.
"Are you injured? We could procure a high-level potion if you are wounded."
Professor Delvin didn't understand why Professor Mia was searching for Saintess but Saintess was not soone anyone could et.
Not even Rank-S Heroes have the privilege of freely eting the Saintess. It was better to rely on a high-level potion than Saintess.
"No, I need a Saintess spell. It is to heal ….my student injury."
Professor Mia said guiltily. She clenched her hand and tried to calm down. There was no ti to regret, she still had a chance to set things right.
"Your student?"
Professor Delvin widened his eyes upon hearing the reason.
Professor Delvin of course knows who Professor Mia's student is. One of the strongest students in Ace Academy with the capability to fight head-on with Lisanna.
Despite being just a first-year, he was able to claim the seat of second strongest. He was as famous as anybody could get in a school.
Professor Delvin knows that the people who were trapped inside the Gate were Professor Mia and Zero Elea.
But when he saw only Professor Mia co out of the gate, he had already expected the worst.
It was already beyond his expectation that Professor Mia could conquer a Rank-A Gate by herself but he knew that Zero being in Rank-D could not survive there.
Even Rank-B might get himself killed right after getting into the Gate, not to ntion a student who is just Rank-D.
It was already a blessing that Professor Mia had survived and had broken through, so he didn't expect Zero to be alive.
"He is still alive?"
Professor Delvin asked, to confirm what he heard was correct.
"For now, I can say that he is in a state where he can be saved. That's why I need to find the Saintess."
"According to the intel that I got from the school, it seems that she is still residing in Holy Church but she is not taking any visitors right now."
Professor Delvin shared all the information he got from the Academy. He had already given a ssage to look for Saintess when the Professor ntioned her.
Luckily, so people were stationed near the Holy Church and knew the information about the Saintess.
"Holy Church…"
Professor Mia fell into thought for a second and turned her face towards the direction of the Holy Church.
"Thanks for the information, Professor Delvin. I will go then."
"Wait…"
-BAM!
Professor Mia leaped through the air with insane strength cracking the ground and producing a loud sound.
She didn't hear Professor Delvin and left him before he could finish his sentence. He stood still like a statue for a mont before smacking her forehead.
"Did you not hear that Saintess is not entertaining any visitors. How can you just go there?"
Professor Delvin could use so of his connections to help et the Saintess but he didn't know that Professor Mia would go there imdiately without listening to his word.
Without an appointnt, nobody could enter the Holy Church unless they used force.
"Don't tell … Arg, let's just report back to the Ace Academy. At least, the Church will not kill her even if she enters the Holy Church Forcefully."
Professor Delvin left the area since the reason he ca there was gone. And he had to do so work if Professor Mia did what he thought she would do.
-SHUUUSSHH!
"Yes, I heard that boss is in danger."
anwhile, Glenn was contacting the Tech Genesis company.
Zero was nowhere to be seen but according to what he heard from Professor Mia, he knew that Zero was in so kind of danger. Therefore, he quickly inford the company.
Glenn was pretty much useless outside fighting. That was one of the reasons why a Gold Graded guild was about to go bankrupt previously.
Glenn went to the Tech Genesis company to discuss what they should do. Right now, they know that Zero was in safe hands but they had to do sothing if he was really in trouble.
He also left the area leaving behind Finn and other Rank-A Explorers. Several news reporters were lying on the ground.
Unfortunately, news reporters were all still unconscious from Professor Mia's aura. If not, they could have grabbed that interesting bit of information for themselves.
*****
-SHUUSHHH!
Professor Mia was moving at an extrely high speed. She had already heard that the Holy Church was inaccessible to anyone right now.
But it didn't matter. As long as Saintess was there she was sure that she could get Saintess to heal Zero.
After a few minutes of traveling using her full speed, Professor Mia had reached the Holy Church.
"STOP! State your purpose for coming here."
Outside Holy Church, there were two guards at Rank-B. Only a strong organization could afford to have soone at Rank-B to guard the place.
"I need to see the Saintess."
Professor Mia answered. She didn't want to create unnecessary trouble on soone else's territory.
"Go Back! She is not accepting any visitors right now."
The guard bluntly shooed Professor Mia.
"I need to see the Saintess urgently. Can you just tell her that Mia Frostine wants to see her?"
The two guards beca a little nervous hearing the na of the visitor. They both were Rank-B and as a guard of Holy Church, they also had lots of privileges but in front of Ice Enchantress, they were nothing.
However, they didn't cower in front of her.
"We can't! Co again another day."
They still had the backing of the Church. Not even Rank-S would ss with them.
Professor Mia realized that those guards were not planning to let her in no matter what. She has already shown the Church enough courtesy by not just heading inside the Holy Church.
If it weren't for her urgent situation, she wouldn't have done this.
It might be risky to go against one of the most powerful organizations in the world, but she could handle the consequences so long as Zero was healed.
"ARG…"
Professor Mia released her aura which was filled with her killing intent.
Both guards fell to the ground after groaning in pain.
"The church is made for helping people. If they can't do that, we don't need that."
Church power ca from the people. It was because they were initially made by people who unconditionally helped people in trouble.
Though in recent tis, the Church has beco sothing of a place where high-ranking people of the Church could exert their power.
Collecting fees for healing injuries and exorcising ghosts, the Church has already lost its image as a place where it helps people unconditionally.
Hearing the groan of the guards, the other people stationed inside the Holy Church beca alert.
There were lots of people inside the Church who were of Rank-B and Rank-A. The Church had lots of resources and could attract a lot of high-ranking people to protect the place.
This is especially true since Holy Church is one of their headquarters.
"Hey, Sto…"
Professor Mia didn't have any reason to listen to others' words anymore. She just did what she did to the two guards.
Those Rank-B making their way towards Professor Mia instantly lost their consciousness. While those Rank-A approaching her were terrified.
"Th-This… She is Rank-S?"
Those Rank-A people realized from the aura that the person that they were going to face was Rank-S.
"No need to worry. We completely outnumber her. Even Rank-S can't handle so many Rank-As. Don't sully the reputation of the Church."
One of the people ca forward. It seed he was a person known as the 'Holy Guard'. His rank was approximately A .
He was able to deter so effects from Professor Mia's aura. He imdiately gathered others to confront the uninvited guest.
"Get out of my way or else you will regret it."
Professor Mia said while giving a glance at the group. It was going to be her final warning before she made her move.
-GULP!
Professor Mia was still releasing her killing intent. Even with morale boosted by the Holy Guard, there was no way that people there could not feel threatened by the killing intent of Rank-S Hero.
"Let's GO!"
With the Holy Guard leading the charge, many Rank-As followed behind him. Knowing that morale will only go down as more ti passes, he decided to attack quickly.
"Hmph! You all can regret your choice."
[ "Ice Wave" ]
Professor Mia's strength right now was sothing that even Rank-S would feel threatened by. She did not only get promoted to Rank-S - but also got her Ice energy enhanced in the Gate as well as got her body strengthened by Legendary Grade Elixir.
"Quickly, block it!"
Many Rank-A who specialize in defenses ca forward and released their defensive skill. There was no way that a bunch of Rank-A would be able to resist her skill.
When the skill was fully executed, the Holy Church was fully covered in ice. Everything from grass to Rank-A Holy Guard was frozen in Ice.
Just when Professor Mia was about to go inside the Holy Church building she heard a voice.
"Mia!"
