Idle Life of a Saintess

Dont worry too much, Mother. We have talented teachers with divine powers in our Education Center.

Noah, who was standing in one corner of the directors office, smiled awkwardly at the directors friendly voice.

The child was held by his mother and was itching to touch the things in the directors office. The expression of the childs mother dissuading him was pitiful.

Priest Noah.

Noah reached out her hand at the directors words.

The childs behavior gradually subsided even though she didnt touch his body.

The child did not try to run around the directors office as much as before. He just wiggled his fingers.

Did you see it?

A smile hung on the directors face.

The childs mother smiled, too.

Then I look forward to your kind cooperation.

The directors hands became busy filling out the documents.

It was this moment when a new child entered Noahs class.

Noah, who showed off her abilities, encountered Ludia, the next class priest, on her way back to the classroom.

Ludia, who was looking at Noahs complexion, asked anxiously.

Is there another new student?

Yes. Haha.

Noahs mouth twitched as she laughed and answered.

Ludia patted Noahs shoulder with a sad expression.

Cheer up, Priest Noah. That means the priest is doing well.R, right? Haha

Noah Kaplan.

With pink bobbed hair and turquoise eyes, she was one of the few divine ability users in the small city of Soal.

There are many types of divine powers, of which Noah was the controller.

A controller is a person with the ability to heal peoples bodies and minds with divine power.

However, this was just a fancy modifier, and in fact the controller was known to be the most useless of the many divine powers.

It works best at the negotiating table because it can control the other persons emotions.

Unfortunately, however, Noah was somewhat lacking in language skills.

And there was no possibility of sitting at the negotiating table because she did not know any other national language other than Ariels imperial language.

Therefore, controllers who could not even demonstrate their abilities as diplomats were often walking on the usual path.

As a teacher.

The Ariel Empire had temples built in each region to solidify the Elohim faith, the state religion.

And next to the temple, an education center was built, and where Noah was working as a teacher.

Teacher! Theyre fighting!

There is no change today.

At the sound of his voice, Noah exerted her divine power. Then the children who were fighting stopped fighting and began to sit one by one.

Hey, take a break and get it together!

Of course!

Noahs ability to control was mainly useful in calming troubled children or making them fall asleep when they were trying not to sleep.

This little ability was quite handy as a teacher.

But to brag to others, I have this divine power, its a little No, it was very lacking and insignificant.

Noah lost her parents to the demon dragon Ixas at the age of 17 and survived alone.

Ironically, her abilities were manifested at that time, and thanks to this, she was able to receive free education for two years at the Divine Power Training Center in the capital.

It was very sad to lose her family, but Noah decided to think positively. It was there that she met Professor Dina Erenberg, her mentor and mother.

With her recommendation, she was able to easily get a job at this Soal Education Center.

That was already two years ago.

Im going to build my career here and go back to the training center where my teacher is.

After three years of teaching at a general education center, the qualifications for a professorship examination at the Divine Power Training Center.

Noah was aiming for it.

Then one day.

She is having a monotonous day like a squirrel spinning a wheel while comforting troubled children, including the transfer student, when the director calls her.

With only a few hours left before leaving work, Noah thought that the director was trying to say that he was sorry for having her suffer too much recently.

That was until she heard the story.

Naively.

Yes?

Noah was so surprised that she opened her eyes wide.

Let me repeat that. The Church is recruiting controllers because there is a shortage of controllers in the Urvas subjugation.

Uh, wait a minute.

Noah, who was pondering what she had just heard, carefully asked back what the director meant.

That Urvas Is this the demon dragon Urvas I know? Does that mean that the controllers are also going to the Urvas subjugation squad?

A demon dragon sleeping in the Urvas region.

Usually, demon dragons are named after the region, so the demon dragons there were called Urvas Demon Dragon.

The Urvas subjugation squad was created to subdue the demon dragon.

Yes, thats right.

I Director, Im sorry, but I dont think the controller is very useful for the demon dragon subjugation?

I do not know. Its not for me to judge, is it? I only know that the details of the Urvas subjugation are kept secret.

.

And regardless of capabilities, there are currently fewer than ten controllers in the empire. Since they are recruiting all those controllers, we can only guess that there is something planned.

That Isnt Urvas very strong?

You will be moving with thePaladins[1] and other high-ranking priests, so you dont have to worry about safety.

Noahs hands began to tremble.

Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks

It was only natural for her to feel fear. Urvas was the same species as Iksas who harmed Noahs parents.

Uh, I.

The directors voice became a little harsh at Noahs repeated hesitation.

Priest Noah Kaplan? I know that when you graduate from the Divine Power Training Center, you pledge allegiance to the country.

Its a position she should be in.

That was what it meant.

Yes.

Noah replied in a small voice, and then the director nodded with satisfaction.

Noah is a person who makes people feel comfortable, so I believe you will do well and return.

Yes.

Noah smiled awkwardly.

Yeah. She may come back soon because she is a controller with little ability.

Honestly, why would you use a little controller like me to slay a dragon? Ill just sit in the back and watch the net. So dont imagine useless things!

Noah scratched the back of her neck and left the directors office.

The next day.

Noah got up early in the morning and loaded herself into the carriage. And it took five hours to reach Ir, a city a little larger than Soal.

From there, she rented a new carriage and arrived in Theron, a city three hours away, spent a day at the inn, and then boarded a magic-driven train.

It will take four more hours to reach the capital.

Noah had been to the capital city before. Because there was a Divine Power Training Center at the end of the capital, where she received free education for two years.

This time, however, she was called by the Imperial Court, so she had to go to the heart of the capital.

That is why.

After a while, Noah arrived at the real capital where the Imperial Palace was located, and she was blown away.

The scenery of the capital was great, but how magnificent and wonderful the Imperial Palace she saw in front of her eyes!

Even though she was clearly carrying an invitation from the director, Noah felt afraid that she would be beaten and kicked out by the knight who guarded the entrance.

Ho, arent you just telling me to go back?

So when the knight who checked the invitation said, Welcome to the Imperial Palace, Priest, Noah seemed to be dreaming.

But the knight asked Noah to wait for a while. He said he was coming to bring someone else soon.

Uh, huh?

At that moment, she wondered if something was wrong.

Sure enough. After a while, a handsome man in a high-ranking priests uniform and a few paladins with an unusual atmosphere approached.

Noah looked around, wondering if there was anyone other than herself. But no matter how much she looked around, it was just her.

Frightened, Noah quickly bowed in greeting to the priest in front of her.

Ah, hello? Im Noah Kaplan, a teacher at Soal education center.

She was going to straighten her back if the other person answered, but somehow there was no reply coming back.

Your Eminence.

As Noah kept bowing down, a paladin called the priest, as if it were too much to see.

Ah!

Only then did the priest speak.

Hello, Noah Kaplan. Im Gabriel Schliemann, the controller of the Central Church.

Gabriel Schliemann?

Then she saw that handsome priests hair was silver. His eyes are blue like the clear sky.

Above all, a name that even a peasant Noah has no choice but to know!

That Gabriel Schliemann is this person?

Gabriel Schliemann.

A controller and a crazy political savvy more famous than the Emperor. An undisputed genius who has never lost the upper hand in every negotiation!

Unlike other controllers, he is a very powerful controller, and the Popes trust is so great that there have been rumors that he might become a cardinal soon.

Ah! The paladin called him Your Eminence earlier, but has he already become a cardinal?

Why did such a great person come out to meet her, who is just a country bumpkin?

Isnt this the road to success!

Oh, its an honor, Your Highness.

Noah was so bewildered that she ended up using the title Your Highness.

Im not a member of the Imperial family.

Yes? Ah, yes. Im sorry.

We usually say courtesy to the cardinal. But Ive become a cardinal just recently, and Im not used to that title yet.

Co, congratulations!

Noahs face turned red as if it was about to explode.

She made a mistake from the beginning.

If he realizes that her abilities are insignificant in this situation, the high-ranking person may regret that he has come to meet her here.

A Cardinal. He is a man far too high.

Anyway, its nice to see you like this. Im a little surprised because its rare for people to have pink hair.

Well, is that so? Ahaha

It is a blessing of the Church that the precious controller has such a unique quality.

Tha, thank you.

Gabriel reached out gracefully to Noah, who was not accustomed to the repeated praise.

As soon as she saw Gabriels outstretched hand, she was reminded of the courtesy of a high priest. She learned it in the beginning at the Divine Power Training Center, but it was fuzzy because it was a memory from 4 years ago.

When a high priest reaches out his hand, does she kiss the back of his hand?
