NovelEnglishI Became A Third-Rate Villain In The Hero Academy-Novel
Chapter 186: Walking in Place (2)On the Kyren Zena continent, it is believed that deities truly exist.
This is partly evidenced by the presence of divine energy, which unlike magic, does not require mana as a medium to bring about supernatural phenomena.
The most widely followed religion on the Kyren Zena continent is Renimidism.
The chief deity of this faith is the God of Light, Renimid.
Over 99% of the human race on the Kyren Zena continent are adherents of Renimidism.
About 200 years ago, this faith emerged victorious from a massive religious war among humans, consequently becoming the sole major religion across the continent.
Hence, Renimidism is the only religion that has an establishment within the Elinia Academy.
The [Order of Light] refers to the architectural structures of Renimidism, where clergy reside and the faithful gather to participate in religious ceremonies.

"Hey, who would you like to get a recruitment offer from?"
"Hmm, as long as they're kind, I'm good. But it'd be a bonus if they also treated me to lots of tasty things."
"Ha ha ha. So, if someone kind who buys you lots of treats is ranked 150th in the school, but a cold person who never treats you is ranked 50th, and both offer to recruit you, what would you do?"
"Ah, that's too extreme. But being 150th is just... I think I'd prefer the 50th rank."
"Hmm, uh-huh, hm~"
"Why are you smearing that all over your face? Especially during the sacred [Night of Light]."
"Just because I'm putting on some makeup doesn't mean I'm any less devoted, you know? I need to stand out on stage to get more recruitment offers. I hope Eshild shows up."
"Eshild, isn't there a rumor he's a playboy? It reminds me of the Eastern Empire's proverb, 'Drawing lines on a gourd doesn't make it a watermelon.'"
"...What? Hey you, come here. Hey, hey! Where do you think you're running off to?!"
"haah, I shouldn't be nervous. But strangely, when I'm in front of people, my divine energy doesn't come out as easily."
"Nah-nah~ You said the same thing during the last practical lesson, but you managed just fine. Are you faking it?"
"No, no~ It's different now. Back then, it was just classmates... But now, Lady Aisha herself might come."
"You've really become a follower. Is your deity Aisha? Not the great Renimid?"
"That's different! And you don't understand Lady Aisha's charm because you don't know her. Even as another woman, I can't help but admire how wonderful she is."
Unlike these chattering students, a girl sat alone in a corner, her head bowed.
The students glanced at her, whispering to each other.
She had hair as white as snow.
"Ugh, why does Alphs just sitting there annoy me?"
"Exactly. Is she the only one who's nervous? She doesn't have the skills, and to top it off, her personality is so gloomy."

"Not a chance."
"I'm betting on no offers, too."
"Who'd be foolish enough to say she will? She's 18 and still a freshman. Plus, her divine energy is weak."
Of course, every whisper reached Alphs's ears, though she remained silent and still.
From the start, the students whispered loudly enough for her to overhear.
However, Alphs showed no particular reaction.
Still with her head bowed, she bit her lip, enduring the students’ mockery.
Inside, she was already quite broken.
[Save thyself.]
She had been unable to practice this renowned commandment of the god.
Not to mention saving others, she couldn't even
