Chapter 257 We came here to seek your help.


    "Isn''t he Vaan Vesta?" "The one beside him is his fiancée, the two of them are hot topics right now." "But what are they doing here…?" "Why are you asking me? Do I look like someone who would know?" More and more people started whispering as they nced at Vaan and ra walking through the doors. "Is no one going to stop them?" One person spoke up. "Are you out of your mind? When have we ever stopped someone from entering our Church of Light? Do you think our God is partial to the people solely on the basis of whether they believe in him or not?" "…" In an instant, however, the person was shot down. "Our God is Magnanimous, he never restricts someone whoes to his doors, even if it is a Vesta…" Another student spoke up. Vaan and ra, however,pletely ignored all students and walked into the building of the Church of Light. The two of them perfectly understood how strange their presence in the building was, the attention they were receiving wasn''t shocking. Heck, if it was them a few weeks ago, even they wouldn''t have believed that the two of them would ever go into the Church of Light''s building. "Wow…" "So tasty…" "Want to eat…" While Vaan and ra were trying their best to ignore everyone around them, the three little spirits were having the time of their life. The shine in their eyes as they looked around and saw all the Faith Energy around the ce was so intense that if it wasn''t for Vaan keeping close eyes on them, one could definitely tell that the three girls would rush towards the Faith energy, and devour it all, turning the entire building upside down in an instant. No, it wouldn''t be just the building either; the entire world would be turned upside down if something like that happened and both Vaan and ra would get into big trouble. Of course, that is, if the three sisters acted on their instincts and failed to control themselves, which they wouldn''t do because even they understood the consequences of their actions and no matter how appealing all the Faith Energy lying around the building was in their eyes, if their actions could possibly create troubles for their Vaan, they wouldn''t do it. "I am having a hard time believing what I am seeing." While the three Spirits were looking around with excited looks on their faces, Vaan and ra were greeted by a voice. They nced at the source of the voice and their eyes fell on a beautiful blonde woman standing in front of them with a gentle smile on her face. A woman they were now sort of familiar with, "We are seeing each other quite often these days, it is almost as if Fate wants us to be close." Selene chuckled, covering her mouth with her hand. Both Vaan and ra smiled as well. After all, they were the ones who hade to the woman with a favor; they had to be polite. "So? Why have youe here?" Selene directly jumped onto the main topic. She nced at the other students staring at them and said, "Your presence here has created quite amotion." Vaan and ra finally looked around as well. "We wanted to talk to you about something." Vaan initiated. "Hmm? For you toe here just to talk with me, is there something troubling you? Do you need my help regarding the matters rted to the Academy?" Selene questioned, and from her tone, it seemed like she was open to help; no, it felt as if she wanted to help the two of them. Selene was a keen woman; despite her gentle persona, she was extremely intuitive, and she knew that Vaan didn''t have a positive opinion of her. Although she couldn''t say the same about ra, however, with how much she read the two of them, as long as Vaan continued to have a negative opinion regarding her, ra would never take her side either. So Selene wanted to use this chance to change Vaan''s opinion of her. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    "It is not like that." Vaan shook his head. "We want your help regarding something else; this is why we came here since we thought this would be the best ce for it," ra spoke up as well. Selene observed the two and asked, "What is it?" directly. "How do you generate Faith?" ra questioned. Hearing such a strange question, even someone like Selene, who always had a gentle and kind look on her face, frowned. "What do you mean?" "Your Faith in the God of Light, where does ite from?" ra questioned. Selene''s frown deepened; she felt like she couldn''t understand the question, however, she still gave an answer, "My heart. My Faithes from my Heart." The answer was simr to what mey had said, which, obviously, wasn''t helpful in the situation. Seeing the two''s expressions, Selene could guess that they weren''t satisfied and said, "How about we continue our conversation inside a room?" She offered. Vaan and ra both nodded. The eyes in the surroundings were annoying, and having a proper conversation was difficult. The three then walked into a room, and once inside, Selene nced at the two and said, "Now, it would be great if you could tell me what exactly the two of you want. I am sure you are not trying toe under the magnanimous God of Light; I sense nothing like that from you, so why do you wish to know about Faith energy?" Selene questioned. Vaan and ra then looked into each other''s eyes for a while, then, ra turned towards Selene and said, "You are correct, I am not here toe under the God of Light but…" "But?" "I am trying to get a blessing from a different God." "Which God?" Selene questioned with a curious look on her face. The Vestas and the Family rted to them didn''t just have problems with the God of Light; they had a problem with the entire belief system as a whole. So Selene was quite curious about what God ra was trying to seek shelter under. After all, a God who can make a future member of the Vesta Family curious about him couldn''t possibly be a simple entity.


    "The God of Magic." ra answered as her red eyes shined intensely. "What…?" Selene, on the other hand, stared at the woman in front of her with a dumbfounded look on her face. "Think about it, it has been 5000 years since anyone has tried praying to the God; what if… what if the God of Magic hasn''t abandoned us and it is us who lost faith in him?" ra questioned, and Selene, who continued to stare at the red-haired woman, couldn''t help but smile wryly, "I find it hard to believe that these words areing from the mouth of a future member of the Vesta Family. Are you trying to say that the sacrifices the brave mages and the members of the Vesta Family made in the past are all false? Are youpletely denying the history we have been following for the past 5000 years?" Selene asked a bunch of questions; she didn''t like how ra was questioning the past, even though she wasn''t a member of the Vesta Family, her actions were no different than defaming the past heroes. Heroes whom even Selene, a member of the Church of Light, respected. ra, however, didn''t stop. "I am not denying anything; maybe the God of Magic did stop blessing its believers for a while. What if… at that time, the God of Magic had a reason to not be able to bless its believers but now, he has resolved those issues but has already lost all his believers?" She suggested apletely different theory. "Is it not foolish to try and connect to the God who took care of us Mages for countless years one more time?" ra questioned, and this time, Selene found herself being put on a spot. ra''s words made sense; there were countless possibilities and honestly, even till now, no one could ever find the reason as to why the God of Magic abandoned the Mages in the first ce. There was no grave sinmitted; the Mages didn''t go against any of his wishes, and as a thriving group, the God of magic had no reason to abandon his people. So maybe… ra was right. "I am trying to use the prayers the believers used in the Past; however, I cannot feel anything different. Which is quite different from what I hear from believers of other Gods." ra pointed out her problem. "Does this not give you the answer you were looking for? Maybe the God of Magic did indeed abandon his believers." Selene spoke, however, "Are you saying that right now, if I chant the prayers the believers of the God of Light use, I can feel his blessing?" ra questioned, and in an instant, Selene turned silent and understood what the girl meant. "So how do you want me to help you?" "I just want to know how you turn a normal person into a believer. How do you generate their Faith in the God of Light?"
