Christian seems like a guy that cares about his sister. Though I could not say the sa for Adeline.
She is skilled at managing her expression, so you could not really tell what she is thinking. She might be glad on the inside that Christian ca to visit but who knows.
( So, her full na is Adeline La-Minnings. Adeline La-Minnings… )
The na seed familiar all of a sudden. I rember that there was a character who was taking care of the Saintess during the war.
And her family na was definitely La-Minnings.
When fighting with the demons, I rember that there was a character with La-Minnnings protecting the Saintess. Even a Demon at Duke rank was killed by her.
That is what happens in the novel. I could not tell it was the sa person because, in the novel, Adeline is introduced as a Holy Guard rather than a Maid.
And she was not weak at all. Considered the most proficient rapier user, her na shone like the sun on the battlefield.
However, I doubt whether she is the sa person. I could not imagine the current Adeline to be that bloody rapier.
Since those sent to kill the Saintess were not only demons, she had to kill everyone who had any malicious intent towards the Saintess.
More than her skills, she was more lauded for massacring her enemies. Whether it be demons, monsters, or humans, she would kill them all the sa.
I carefully looked at the person who was currently pouring in the tea.
( So this person is the person that will beco the best rapier user in the future. )
It is unfathomable that the La-Minnings family abandoned her to raise their status. If they had taken good care of her, she could have helped to raise their status all by herself.
They really let this opportunity slip away. Having a Rank-S could have more impact on the status than having a Saintess as their daughter-in-law.
After all, even the Church would not help them if the danger is too great. The help provided to them would be limited even if Christian managed to marry the Saintess.
But Adeline was different. She was their own family and as long as she was breathing she would help solve the crisis of the family.
Anyway, back to Saintess's conversation. She seed to be happy that both Christian and she had no interest in marrying each other. But listening to Saintess Alia, one thing was for sure.
"Seems like Saintess Alia is really undesirable. Even if you change your words, it does not change the fact that he is not interested in you."
It was not really true but I had to joke about it since yesterday she accused of flirting with her.
"YOU… Hmph! I have lots of admirers, you know."
Saintess Alia took his joke seriously.
"I know, I know, I was just joking."
Seeing that Saintess was taking his words seriously, he admitted that he was just joking.
Zero was surprised that she would take his word seriously.
( Does she not have confidence in her appearance? )
I an who would believe she does not have any admirers with that kind of look? It would be weird if she did not have admirers.
"Hmph! It is good that you know. You should thank God that you have the opportunity to even talk with ."
"Yes, yes, I am really grateful to God that I could talk to Saintess Alia."
"Humph! I am glad that you realized that."
( So easy. )
"So I want to ask you sothing. How do you know Professor Mia?"
I asked the Saintess. It had not been written in the novel, so I was really curious.
As one of the fans of the novel, I was excited to discover new things about major characters such as Saintess Alia and Professor Mia.
The Saintess didn't seem to dislike the idea of telling the story about her childhood when she and Professor Mia were neighbors.
Rembering her childhood, she smiled. That period was the happiest ti of her life.
Zero listened carefully and only then did he beco aware that Professor Mia and Saintess were childhood friends.
( No wonder Saintess agreed to heal . )
Listening to Saintess, Zero realized that she had a great deal of respect and care for Professor Mia.
He thought that it might be the reason why she healed him despite hating the fact that Zero could use Dark Energy.
Saintess Alia looked quite happy to share her story with Professor Mia, as she kept on talking about how cute Professor Mia was back then until it was ti for dinner.
Zero had not anticipated the Saintess would talk so much for such a simple question. He regretted asking that question a little.
He had already drunk 6 cups of tea while listening to the Saintess story. Though because of that, Zero obtained lots of information about Professor Mia and Saintess Alia's past.
Zero lay on the bed after eating dinner as he contemplated what to do from now on.
There were still 2 months left before the Tournant of Academies started and no major event happened before that in the novel.
The preparation for the Tournant also got accelerated due to him spending ti in the Gate.
He expected to break through to Rank-D before the Tournant, but it had already been fulfilled and there were still 2 months left.
He also thought about making preparations to enter Rank-C. It was possible for him as long as he worked hard and got the required resources.
Zero thought that he might easily win unless sothing unexpected happens during the tournant.
"Anyway, just because I got ranked does not an I will get complacent with training."
One's rank was only one aspect of strength. It does not necessarily an that a high rank could an high power.
Without training, I might lose my edge and perform poorly in the tournant. That's why constant practice was required so that your skill does not deteriorate.
But I didn't know what to do. I don't think there is a training facility in the Holy Church. Actually, I don't have much information about the Holy Church.
It was only after going through various procedures and achievents that the MC got an opportunity to et Saint Alia.
I decided to ask Adeline or Saintess Alia about it. If there is a place I can train, I could use that.
*****
The next day
"A place to train?"
"Yes! I should not waste my ti anymore. I had to win the tournant of academies and it looks like Professor Mia will be busy for quite so ti."
"Hehe. I never thought you would be the one to bring this up. Follow , I will take you to a place where you can train."
A grin spread across the Saintess's face. Zero thought there was sothing wrong when Saintess showed unusually high excitent.
I followed her and she took into a big building similar to a stadium.
Upon entering the place, the gravity increased and force on the body increased. The building seed to be similar to the gravity room where I trained in Ace Academy.
"Oh, I forgot to ntion that the gravity inside this place is 10x greater. Teehee."
Saintess Alia tried to make it sound like she forgot but I got the feeling that she intentionally didn't say it to .
To , this much gravity is not worth ntioning. Even before ranking up, I could train in a place with 15 tis more gravity.
Though I was a little concerned about whether my body could handle it. However, it looked like my concerns were unnecessary as my body was more than fine.
Looks like at least Saintess's skills are as rumored.
Also, I observed that the maid had no difficulty walking through the area where the gravity is 10x.
Which ant that at least their rank was C or higher. I have the status of Rank-C-, though I don't want to brag, normal people in Rank-D would not have as high a stat as .
So I assud that maid strength was at least similar to before I was trapped in the Gate.
However, I do not understand why they are staying as a maid for the Saintess. With their rank, they could do well as an Explorer and they don't have to work under soone.
Though there could be a lot of reasons for it.
There is a possibility that as an Explorer they would face danger, and they would rather work as maids than fight for their lives on line.
Second, they can't fight or their rank is high but they don't have any combat abilities.
Third, it could be that the Church is giving them more money than they could earn from doing the Explorers' job.
There could also be other reasons like Adeline who is working as a maid because of her family. But those three were general and more likely.
"What is this place?"
As we walked inside the building, I asked the Saintess. It seems rather lavish to have a building with 10x gravity. Why would the Church even have such a building?
"It's Holy Training Ground"
