The Book I Wrote Became the Bible

31 – The Holy Spirit Comes (2)

At the same time Oriath, the capital of the Nova Empire.

A square in a slum located in the corner of the city.

There were dozens of people gathered.

And in the middle of the crowd, stood Paola in her maid’s uniform and Barnabas, her companion who was to accompany her.

Paola was talking to a woman in front of her.

“Can I really become clean if the Holy Spirit comes upon me?”

“Yes. His holy flame cleanses all iniquity and wickedness. I also denied the deus, but I was born again by the Holy Spirit.”

“The Holy Spirit? What are you talking about?”

“Wash away sins? There’s no way there’s a god washing dirty sluts like us.”

“I think the maid must have lost her mind after being abandoned by the master?”

Onlookers looked at Paola and treated her as a lunatic, and Paola heard the whole conversation, but she didn’t react.

“Whoever repents of his sins and dwells in Deus will receive the Holy Spirit.”

“I will repent. So give me the spark of the Holy Spirit!”

The prostitute begged on her knees.

“The baptism of the Holy Spirit is not something I give. Everything will flow according to Deus-sama’s will.”

“A. I’m just saying that because it’s a lie.”

“A holy spirit. There can be no such thing.”

“Have you ever seen a religious person truly helping someone? It can’t be.”

“Right. If that was true, I would have shown it here. If that woman sees that in front of my eyes right now, she will drop everything and follow that maid.”

That moment.

A small dimensional door opened above the head of the prostitute who was talking to Paola, and a flame shaped like her tongue shot out.

“Huh?”

“Am I looking at nothing?”

The prostitute looked up at her when she felt the people around her staring above her head.

Then I saw something burning in the air.

“… Holy Spirit?”

The moment she recognized the presence of her flame, her body was engulfed in flame.

“Egg Money! Oh, that woman’s body is on fire!”

“Oh, what should I do! I’m going to die like that!”

“Water! Bring some water!”

But despite being engulfed in fire, she felt no heat at all.

She felt at ease, as if her flame were washing her.

As if this flame was purifying itself.

Her flame completely consumed her prostitute’s clothes that she was wearing.

And the flame took shape and became a garment that wrapped around her body.

“Clothes?”

“It became clothes….”

“It looks like the clothes worn by priests.”

The woman, feeling the divinity of the flame with her eyes closed, opened her eyes and looked at her paola.

“Apostle! I have received the Holy Spirit too!”

Is that the baptism of the Holy Spirit? I too have been born again through such a process.

Paola is the first person to see someone baptized.

She was stunned inside, but she did not show it outwardly and answered the woman who had been baptized with the Holy Spirit.

“Yes. You too have been chosen by Him. Welcome, sister.”

“It was real!”

“Deus…… He is a savior who looks down on even the poorest people like us.”

“I will repent too!”

“Me too!”

“Apostle of Deus!”

When those who witnessed the Holy Spirit and repented appeared, as if in response to their faith, huge tongues of fire appeared from the sky and parted, and went into those who knelt to repent.

And members of other slums who saw those receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit also joined in.

That day, Oriath received three pillars of fire.

* * *

She has the appearance of a full-bodied girl, but the contents are decades old, the archmage, Wakfa President.

“Ehh. At least, we almost had to re-build the school building like that time.”

Kronia lost her mind and appeared.

No matter how weak Kronia is in her body, she must have prepared various defenses.

The only person in this academy who can neutralize her so easily is Wakpa.

“Still, the emperor won’t say anything if you say this happened.”

The Emperor? What did you do with the emperor and came all of a sudden?

Certainly, a person of the level of Kronia going wild is an emergency that requires the president to act urgently.

Huh? Then this might be very attracted to me?

A stormy freshman who caused an emergency that the president had to step in and solve!

Uh…… I was thinking of doing that later, but it’s a bit….

“Um…… Student? Are you a freshman?”

Ah, now is not the time to be like this.

– Salamander. Sorry. Stay in for a while I’ll call you back later.

– Yes! Okay!

Salamander was quickly reverse summoned.

The president is a transcendental person who has crossed the wall.

Even if you can’t see the spirit, you might be able to feel its presence.

Others would see the flames around me and think I used magic or an artifact, but the president is a bit dangerous.

“Ah… ….”

The president voiced some disappointment when he reverse summoned the salamander.

Disappointed? Are you disappointed? Could it be that he noticed the Salamander’s existence! You can’t do that.

“…… Ahem. Student? What happened? Why is Professor Kronia so out of control?”

The president cleared his throat and then came up to me and asked a question.

“Ah, that… It’s a bit long to talk.”

“No. I’m not going to talk like this here and now, but go to the president’s office. Because there are too many eyes around you.”

“Yes?”

“What did I just see? That guy It completely melted Professor Kronia’s golem.”

“Is it Pulse Rayno? I heard that the siren Pulse Rayno also overpowered Professor Kronia’s golem.”

“No matter how hard it is, how can a freshman use that much power… ….”

Ah. I see It was sparring during class.

I was doing this in the middle of so many freshmen.

I looked around and saw academy students watching me and the president with their eyes wide open.

Ah, I think I’ve already crossed the water.

…… Let’s think good. I’m sure it’ll be popular later when I do something like practice.

Rather good. It might make it easier to reach them.

“Academy freshmen. An unfortunate accident has occurred. As a result, the current class is temporarily suspended, so please leave the room.”

She uses voice amplification magic to speak to everyone in the classroom.

“… And sleep Will you follow me?”

Just

As the president snapped his fingers, a temporary warp gate the size of a small door appeared in front of him.

Let’s look at the president again.

“Go in. It’s the door leading to the president’s office.”

To make a warp gate at a place like this, even if it’s a short distance away.

Is this the Archmage?

* * *

“Hmm…. I mean, something like that happened.”

“Yes. I’m honestly sorry. I just did what I was told to do. Professor Kronia told me to come out, so I came out and sparred, so I did it. Of course, I provoked him a little in the middle, but I didn’t expect him to get so angry. In the first place, the professor provoked me first, so I thought I was doing it that way.”

It’s a completely manly excuse, but… I don’t want to attract the president’s attention right now.

I never thought the President would be a member of Christos….

I’m just a not-so-excellent student, and I have to make the president think that the reason Cronia is so furious is because of Siren’s sister.

It would be a catastrophe if she found out that I was a being worshiped by Lydia and that she was not actually her god.

Because I am a great mage, the fact that I am not a god could be discovered.

“…… Surely. Professor Kronia had a conflict with your sister, Siren. It makes sense to be easily angry with you.”

That’s right!

I’m sorry!

“But even so, I have a question.”

Yes?

“If that’s the case, it would be said that you have the ability to burn the golems that Professor Kronia handles without leaving a trace. Is it right?”

Ah. Said so truthfully.

No, but I melted the golem in front of that many students. Can’t fool this

“That, that’s why….”

What can I say?

It’s the Archmage. It’s impossible to cheat in terms of firepower.

Should I just tell the truth about the spirit?

Maybe at least one person could tell the truth about the spirits.

No! The chancellor may announce the existence of the spirit, or even if he hides the existence, he may tell Lydia about it later. Then what will Lydia think of me?

You can’t light a fire yourself, so you use spirits! No matter how you look at it, it’s not God.

I don’t know what Lydia will do to me if she finds out that I cheated on her!

From noble mtl dot com

Yes. The president must not know of the existence of the spirits.

…… Should I just deceive the spirit as an angel sent by Deus? After all, no one knows the existence of spirits.

But then, that guy who is the only spiritist on this continent becomes a problem.

Beep

I was thinking about all kinds of things in my head, but the president stood up.

The president of short limbs rose from the desk and flew in front of me in the air.

Then he put his hands on my shoulders.

“Student Luke. Tell me the truth Did you receive the Holy Spirit from Deus?”

“…… Yes?”

What? Holy Ghost?

Why suddenly the Holy Spirit?

What is this woman talking about?
