Tell me your opinion,\" she urged again with a slight smile on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, someone raised their hand, a girl sitting right beside Ethan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Ruby,\" Daphne happily pointed at her as she stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They are like light to me, showing me the way to move forward,\" she replied, her voice serious, like she firmly believed her words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm, that's true,\" Daphne nodded, her expression the same, her gaze turning. \"Would you like to give your opinion, Ethan?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan looked at her, still seated, as he replied softly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I agree with Ruby. I believe in them like I believe in the rising sun, not only because I see it, but because I see everything else because of it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm, that's a good comparison you have there,\" Daphne complimented, smiling at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned around to move towards the board.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are they real though?\" Her steps halted as she heard a voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I, too, looked to my side, staring at Oliver, dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'What is he doing?' I wondered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you could be a little clearer, Oliver,\" Daphne replied, turning around, looking at him. Her smile faded now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If they are real, why not help those who are in need?\" He asked, leaning on the chair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'... Sam's words?' I thought, instantly recognizing those words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So the desire to work doesn't disappear from humans,\" she scoffed, waving her hand to dismiss him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What about the ones who can't work?\" He countered, making her halt again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The gods can't help everyone,\" she replied, looking at him. \"And some of them are also repenting for the sins they committed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Will their sins be forgiven if they pray for it?\" He asked again, and now the entire class was looking at him weirdly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, they will be forgiven even if you pray for them,\" Daphne replied confidently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then what if I pray for the leader of the Fallen?\" Oliver asked, making the entire class silent. \"What if I pray for the one sinner that needed it the most?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is no redemption for the fallen Angels,\" Daphne firmly replied, staring at him. \"Some sins are beyond forgiveness, Oliver.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That proves—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You should be executed for even saying that,\" someone within the class cut in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\".....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My head slowly turned to the boy who voiced his thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tried to hide as he noticed my gaze on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I heard that,\" I commented, still staring at him. \"You better start praying that your family remains safe back home.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Azariah!\" Daphne yelled, slamming her fist on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am just saying he should pray for his family,\" I replied, shrugging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glared at him for a while before she sighed heavily. \"I will keep an eye on his family's situation.

You won't like the outcome.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will keep that in mind,\" Oliver replied softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She sighed again as she asked, rubbing her temples, \"Where was I again?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The influence of mana in our history,\" Miley replied, making Daphne nod her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, thank you.\" Standing behind the desk, she looked at us once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The 'written' history of humanity goes back over six thousand years ago.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced in our direction, looking at Oliver for a while before continuing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There were quite a few empires leading humanity for almost six thousand years, but most of them were forgotten as time passed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Opening the book, she flipped the pages before stopping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Someone want to guess what is the reason for that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mana,\" I replied, looking at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why do you say that?\" She asked, looking up at me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Greed for power and authority has always been the reason for war,\" I replied, placing my cheek on my hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And mana provides both of them,\" she replied, nodding, looking around. \"Had it not been for the three Gods and their influence, humanity would have wiped itself out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She again glanced at Oliver as she continued, \"The whole conception of Gods, fake or not, is the reason why humanity is still alive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why only three Gods?\" Oliver asked, tilting his head. \"What about the other two?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They have their influence on humans but not as much as the other three,\" Daphne replied, not going further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see,\" Oliver whispered softly, nodding. \"And we know nothing about God Sabaoth other than him leaving the heavens on his own accord.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We don't talk about him, Oliver,\" Daphne firmly replied, glaring at him. \"And weren't you asking if gods are real or not? Did you forget about Moshel's tomb?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I leaned back in my chair as I glanced at Oliver as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that even real?\" Oliver asked, doubtful. \"His dead body stopping the gate of hell from opening? Sounds fake to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is real, Oliver,\" she replied without a speck of doubt. \"And so is the existence of Moshel's sword maiden.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What does she even do?\" He replied, clearly trying to provoke her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oliver—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>RINGGG!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bell rang, signaling the end of our class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daphne looked at Oliver before she said, \"Come with me. And Azariah, you too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood up, and so did I, walking out of the class after her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why were you doing that?\" I whispered softly in his ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to look at me as he replied, \"Just because.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tch.\" I clicked my tongue as I looked back at my seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'...Why is she not coming to school?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wondered, looking at Ashlyn's seat, which was now empty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She has been absent for a while from the academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I talked to her, but she refused to tell me the reason for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Should I ask Nathan about this?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I mused, walking out of the class as Daphne stood in the hallway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hands folded, eyes glaring at us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Were you being serious, Oliver?\" She asked, looking at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stood to the side, letting them talk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"About what?\" Oliver feigned ignorance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"About your comments on Gods,\" she replied, to which he nodded his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, that!?\" He exclaimed, nodding his head. \"Yeah, I can't believe in gods who always want to be praised.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She sighed heavily, rubbing her eyes. \"You have some strange way of thinking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I thought someone said they won't judge,\" Oliver replied, shrugging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am not judging, Oliver. I am being concerned here,\" she grumbled softly, looking at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gods still have influence on us. You can't say bad things about them in front of everyone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Say whatever you want, I still don't believe in them,\" he replied, being firm in his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'...Is Horus's eyes influencing him?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wondered, looking at Oliver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In essence, those eyes he possesses once belonged to a God.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A God who was proclaimed to have once held the title of king of Gods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And from what I know, those eyes influence his mind, and that too in a negative way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I need to talk with him about this.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Think whatever you want, but don't say it out loud,\" Daphne snarled, glaring at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And for God's sake, not in any of the holy cities—you will seriously get yourself killed if you do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure,\" he replied, nodding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then turned around and looked at me. \"And you, don't even think about touching that boy's family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure, ma'am,\" I replied, smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"His family is related to the church, Azariah,\" she explained further, looking at me. \"If you touch his family, he might report what happened today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I tilted my head as I asked, \"So are you saying I should take care of him as well?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What, wait, no!\" She yelled, frustration filling her entire face. \"Just don't touch his family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Noted,\" I replied, firmly nodding my head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Urgh, just go away,\" she grumbled softly, turning around and walking away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I glanced at Oliver as I asked, \"You alright?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Never been better,\" he replied, shrugging. \"Wanna smoke?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since when did you start smoking?\" I asked, confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since today,\" he replied, touching his bracelet, and he took out a pack of... condoms?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, wrong packet,\" he quickly put it back before taking out another one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You sure are enjoying your time,\" I commented, walking out of the building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's just for emergencies,\" he replied, shrugging. \"Don't want a child going around calling me Dada~.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dada!?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'No, one called you.
