When I Reincarnated as the Villain of a Game World, I Created a Harem and Broke the Protagonist's Heart and Efforts! - Chapter 72 : Found You!

Chapter 72 : Found You!

“Priest, how are the students at our academy?”

In the absence of the headmaster, I walked through the academy halls with an elderly teacher who temporarily held the top position. 

Behind us were a few holy knights acting as my guards and two clerics serving as secretaries. 

Given our considerable number, we occasionally drew glances from students in their classes. It was an annual occurrence, so I was used to it by now.

“Yes, we have many excellent students again this year. As expected of the empire’s prestigious Magic Academy.”

“We are honored by your praise. Next, we will introduce you to the commoner class that enrolled this year. Their level is higher than usual, and there’s a class currently performing magical practice, so you can see for yourself.”

Following the teacher’s guidance, we stepped outside to the training grounds. 

Just as he had mentioned, practical exercises were underway. 

Students were casting their preferred spells at specially designed targets along the training ground walls.

Observing them, it was evident that their skill level was indeed higher than in previous years.

Typically, commoner classes focus on basic spells, and it was rare to see anyone using intermediate magic. However, this year, at least five students were casting intermediate spells. 

Even among those taking a break, there might be others capable of intermediate magic.

Moreover, the students seemed to be teaching each other, which slightly improved their proficiency with basic spells. 

This increased the possibility of recruiting more students into the holy knights.

“Who is that student?”

As I scanned the area, my gaze fixed on one student. 

She was a girl with long, pale golden hair. 

I didn’t know why she caught my eye, but I found myself naturally drawn to her.

“Which student do you mean?”

“The girl with the pale golden hair.”

“Ah, you mean Lilia. She is exceptionally talented, even among the commoner class. Despite her appearance, she has a high aptitude for magic and can already use advanced spells. Would you like to speak with her?”

“Yes, I would. Let’s talk to her for a moment—”

At that instant, I felt the holy power. 

It wasn’t on the level of what I or other clerics could wield. 

It was an overwhelming holy power, the kind only a saint favored by God could use.

I quickly turned my gaze to where I felt the power. 

There, the power was converging and the source was a single girl — the very student named Lilia.

“Priest? Is something wrong?”

I had no time to respond to the teacher’s question.

Judging by the scene, she seemed to be healing an injury sustained during practice. If that was the case, she was using healing magic. 

Given the holy power I sensed, it was certain — Lilia was the last saint I had been searching for.

The Saint of Healing.

A smile naturally formed on my face, and tears welled up in my eyes.

“Oh… God, I am deeply grateful for this day…”

“Priest…?”

The teacher looked puzzled by my sudden behavior.

That’s right, there’s no time to be doing this. I must act quickly.

“I apologize for the confusion, teacher. May I ask more about this Lilia?”

“Y-yes, of course.”

After listening to the teacher’s account of the saint, I knew what I had to do. 

It was time to conclude my visit.

“Thank you for today. I will take my leave now.”

“No, it’s our pleasure.”

After exchanging farewells and being seen off by the teacher, I left the academy without a backward glance, deep in thought inside the carriage.

“To think the saint was under the protection of a noble, and a duke’s house at that… I can’t be reckless. I may need the emperor’s assistance.”

Though the church maintains neutrality across all nations, involving a saint changes everything. 

I called out to a holy knight riding alongside the carriage.

“Inform the imperial castle that the last saint has been found. Also, mention that we need the emperor’s cooperation.”

“Understood.”

Next, I addressed the cleric acting as a secretary inside the carriage.

“Once we return to the church, prepare a messenger. We must request the return of the Saint of Light from the homeland.”

“Yes, understood.”

Even with the emperor’s support, those with such power and influence might resort to force. It’s best to be prepared.

“Saint, I will come to greet you soon.”
