"The wedding shall happen two months from now, at this very same time and same place, I will see you all again"
After saying those words he immediately left leaving his people with different reactions.
The coronation ended and slowly the people began to celebrate and eat happily.
"Alicia"
Apollo called again holding her tightly.
"Uncle?"
Artemis called out seeing her best friend being held tightly by her uncle.
"Is there something wrong?"
She asked worriedly.
"It's okay she just felt dizzy it seems the crowd made he feel overwhelmed"
"I see"
She then extended her hand urging Alicia to take it.
"Let's go" Despite her eyes being saddened by the situation she remained smiling putting Apollo in pain too.
"Dangerous too dangerous" he concluded, realizing it was Esteban's emotions.
{Should we continue patrolling?}
Despite his roller coaster emotion, a voice made him snap out of it.
{Do you see any other enemies?} he asked which they immediately answered.
{None as of this moment}
{Keep an eye on any suspicious personnel and keep me updated}
{Okay!}
{On it!}
{Sure!}
Different responses to the same words made Apollo's head filled with their voices.
"Hey are you really that unwell"
Back to the current situation Artemis began to ask her friend though Alicia remained silent. It seems she is trying to reign over her artificial emotions.
"I am, I'm sorry I just felt a bit sick"
She finally answered making Artemis smile.
"Let's go"
"Yes"
"Uncle we will go ahead of you"
"Sure stay safe"
"We will"

And so the two left and as soon as they did, words began to appear in the air.
(Congratulations students you have cleared the fourth part of the exam!)
Now instead of being transported to separate rooms, they found themselves inside a huge hall.
(You have all twenty minutes before the last part of the exam starts)
As soon as they realized the situation they couldn't help but lay on the floor.
"I am tired!" They all exclaimed.
It wasn't just physically taxing but mentally too. The fact that some parts of the events weren't recorded made it even more hard for them to decide the action they should take.
"Don't interrupt us please"
Apollo took his sword and slashed forward however as he did so a spell came flying at him.
"Block!"
Alicia chanted and a barrier was formed to block the spell.
"Thank you"
"Don't be too reckless, everyone stay alert!"
"Yeah!"
After seeing their sudden shift in reaction the young lady from the duchy of Silvercrest can't help but smile.
"It seems like I wasn't needed at all"
And so she left to assist the front lines.
The War of Faith started three hundred years ago when different churches around the continent appeared and began opposing each other. No one knows how it started though only one thing was certain at that time. The entire continent was put in total disarray.
Each house at that time had its own God that they put their faith into. The imperial family and the four ducal houses are no different. So the war became more complicated for them.
The ground was scorched and broken while the sky was burning as if a widespread fire was burning above.
The lower-class students felt like dying in this situation. They finally realized that reading is different from experiencing the events that were recorded in the past. The few words that they put to describe their hardship aren't enough to justify the thing that they are feeling right now. They were hungry they were thirty yet they couldn't eat or drink because at any minute they could die.
It wasn't an exam, for the sixteen thirteen-year-old kids, it was torture. A torture they can't comprehend why they need to experience this situation again. It was like replying a painful trauma. The fallen bodies the broken cities and the screams, everything was like what happened to them three years ago. When everything was taken from them and when they were chased out of their homes.
Then out of nowhere, they heard something they thought they would never hear again.
A chant is not just a normal chant but a prayer, a gospel. In that moment the students of the lower class felt blood drain from them.
"What's going on?" even Apollo was confused there was a hundred-year gap between the creation of the monastery and the war so how could he hear it? A prayer that was used to cast a gospel, only the monastery is using them.
[Could it be one of the few religious things the monastery copied from other religious groups?]
Jeremiah said trying to calm Apollo's raging heart.
"Oh holy lord grant your lambs protection so on this depressing night no cold or heat can ever hurt them, may his spirit come down to judge those who have denied his will!"
It was really similar even the delusional way of their chanting was the same. They all concluded, then as they thought it was the most surprising thing a flood of blood came out of the caster's holy book.
"What the hell is going on!"
Some of the soldiers exclaimed not knowing what was going on.
"Jeremiah scan"
[On it!]
[Scan complete!
The holy book the priest is holding is actually made from Nirvana's flesh and blood. It seems in this phase the spell book isn't perfect yet hence its hideous appearance]
The blood then transforms into the spell that the caster wants to manifest.
"One of Nirvana's skills is sharing his power by using his blood and flesh. This scenario seems like the holy book is one of his experiments to share his power" Apollo thought while observing the mysterious priest.
As the gospel manifested a pack of insects came flying towards the empire's soldiers.
"Just what is the monastery doing here"
Matilda exclaimed while aiming her crossbow towards another enemy's shoulder.
"I have no idea either!"
"I thought the War of Faith is the battle that talks about the fight between the man-focused churches and God's focus ones"
Niko said while using his shield to block an axe for Agnes.
"According to our professor and the book he gave us the war started when the people worshipping magical beasts and other objects clashed against those who worshipped the Gods in the early ages!"
Keith was a bit frustrated at this part since his mind had already felt cleansed when the monastery disappeared, however, it hadn't been a month yet he already seen a man using a gospel, and this made the boy disoriented.
"This is more like a trauma remembering session than a history exam"
Mckenzie said while slamming his fist towards his enemy. It seems Riku's battle sense didn't leave him yet.
