143 Episode 143: The determination of martyrs (1/2)

◆ Norb ◆

My grandfather called me, and I came to the church in Wang Du, and I was walking down the long corridor.

”Dear Norb, the High Priest will wait here”

That's how the intermediate priest who guided me stops in front of the larger door.

”Thank you”

”It's a waste of time.”

You behave as if you are superior to me.

”Go ahead, because I'm not qualified to go further than this.”

When the intermediate priest lowers to the side, I open the door.

And if you go inside, it was a very murderous room with nothing there.

No, there was just one unnatural thing in the room.

”This is the door to trial…”

Yes, in the back of the room with nothing, there was a door the size of which crossed the door I had just entered.

The name is also the door to trial.

This is the door that supposedly can only be opened to those qualified to enter this back room.

”I can't believe I'm going to touch this door right now...”

It would have been much later to come here...

But you can't be cowardly.

To say that I was called here is to say (...), (...), (...), (...).

I will never touch the door.

”Ku ⁉”

The moment I touched the door, I felt the force in my body fall out.

”And not enough to make you instantly unable to move... Huh!

I push the door as hard as I can before I lose all strength from my body.

Then the door slowly, but I made a dull noise and started opening.

”Ko, this is... tight...”

The more doors open, the less power your body will lose.

”Just a little more!

And as soon as I had enough clearance for each person to get in, I slipped into the room.

”Ha-ha-ha... Huh!

I managed to get it in...... if it was too late to open it I would have done my best.

”Welcome to the Holy Separate Room, young priest”

”Ah⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉\

to that voice. I (...) try to jump and get my body up.

”Junior Monk Norb, I'm here.”

Raising her gaze, there was the figure of an old priest sitting at a large table.

”May I help you, High Priest?”

This is the Hidinos who is revealed in the Supreme Priest of the Church in this country, and….

”It's tough. Why don't you just call me Grandpa like you used to?

”No, I cannot speak with such disrespect to the High Priest.”

And he's also my grandfather.

This is why the intermediate priest treated me more as a person of character earlier.

”Oh man, he's a stiff guy. Some of us can listen to our conversation here.”

That's not why.

”But, well, I honestly think it's a big deal that I was able to open the door at that young age. How dare you grow that far?”

Rarely, the High Priest praised me.

To be honest, I've had enough of it.

”That's only if we meet good, too.”

”Ha, don't be modest. No matter how well you met, you wouldn't have gained that much strength if you hadn't refined yourself daily. Admit your efforts, Norb.”

Yes, the High Priest said, but it was only with Mr. Rex's Kaoru that I was able to gain all this power.

And I was only able to take Mr. Rex's teachings because our leader, Gyro, wanted to improve himself even if he abandoned his pride.

Really, we had a good meeting, Grandpa... not the High Priest.

”Well, you know why I called you here?

and High Priest asks me back in his face as a priest.

”Of course I know.”

That's why I was on a training journey with you, Gyro.

”Um, your role would have been a few decades away, but the activation of the marsh (...) is far beyond our expectations...”

As the High Priest said, my service would have been much later.

Because it was supposed to be after I trained normally, grew normally, and gained as much strength as I could someday open the door to trials.
