In the end of the fairy tale, the Siren Princess did not assassinate the Prince but abandoned the Sharp Blade in her hand, returning to the embrace of the sea.

Her selflessness and devotion to love moved the gods, thus, before her death, the curse on her was lifted, although her body dissolved into bubbles and dispersed, her soul ascended to the Divine Country in the light of Dawn.

Although the legend goes like this, surely everyone knows that with the deepening of Magic and Spirit research, we have drawn this general conclusion: There are no gods in this world.

There indeed exist many different beliefs in the world, in ancient times, there were such powerful beings referred to as God Demon, ruling over the ignorant era of humankind,

At that time, the sacrifices believed that as long as there was prayer and faith, the god would grant you strength, even descend beside the believer, and based on this theory, the primitive Divine Arts were developed, but in reality, it was merely an unequal exchange.

That is to say, the omnipotent, all-good, all-knowing god claimed in many heretical teachings, does not exist.

Otherwise, the Church of the Kingdom would not have developed so smoothly.

As for the Divine Country, although it remains to be proven, there is no definitive conclusion as to whether it exists.

The souls approaching dissipation, but not yet dead... where exactly will they go?

Would they return to particles currently unobservable by existing Magic technology, after long ages, combining with life again to form souls?

Or would they wander eternally in a realm unknown and inaccessible to all?

We still do not understand the essence of the soul, but...

Oh, I’m sorry, the topic has strayed a bit far, let’s get back to the main point.

There are no gods in this world, but does prayer and faith therefore become worthless?

Not at all.

Unlike Magic Creatures, humankind does not naturally possess the ability to manipulate the Magic Element, they require training and exercise, through various actions, to convert it into Magic Power they can use.

But among them, there exists a widely known exception - Hero.

A true Hero becomes stronger in both spirit and body through the act of hunting Magic Creatures.

That’s much like suppression in the food chain, it is the opportunity for struggle this world grants us, the weak humans.

So, what is the condition to become a Hero? Students who know, please raise your hand.

Yes, you with black hair and red eyes, you answer.

Very well, correct answer, you must be from the border.

Currently, one of the few official Heroes of the Kingdom guards the forefront of the border, protecting everyone at the edge of our civilization.

That’s right, the condition to become a Hero is actually very simple.

It is not about the ritual, not about lineage or origin, it is, and only is, about – Spirit.

It is the dedicated Spirit and firm resolve that activate the latent talents possessed by all humans, granting Heroes the power to consume the power of Magic Creatures.

However, despite the great power of a Hero, it is not something to be envied.

Just like the Siren Princess’s final ending, although ascending to the Divine Country is a kind of redemption for readers of the story, the person involved would probably prefer to be with their beloved, and so would a Hero wish never to meet the trigger that makes them a Hero.

Then, some students may ask, what relation does the tale of the Siren Princess have with the birth of Heroes? How did it relate to prayer and faith? And when will I finally teach you spells?

Well, questions are to be taken one at a time.

First, everyone can ponder.

If the power of the Spirit is strong enough to turn a normal human into a Hero, could it possibly have only this one use?

Countless tales of heroes breaking through danger, warriors surpassing physical limits through will, even ordinary people erupting with extraordinary power in desperate situations...

I’m sure many related examples have arisen in everyone’s minds.

This is the power of the Spirit.

Although humans are not born knowing how to manipulate the Magic Element, during Growth, some latent Magic Power is still accumulated in places unconscious,

This is true for both Professionals and ordinary people.

When the spirit is stimulated, that power can be drawn out, allowing them to accomplish what was previously impossible.

And highly focused pure Spirit, combined with activities of firm resolve, in a sense, is a form of Magic ritual.

Indeed, this is a type of Magic, students, not just simply intermediate or high-tier, but beyond definition, above ritual level Magic.

And prayer and faith, for most people, are the simplest ways to make their spirits firm.

The Church is a Professional Guild specialized in this path, and its most essential achievement is their special Profession - Determined Hero.

Precisely because apart from the wild... sorry, naturally born Heroes, the Church is the only place capable of nurturing Heroes, so its influence within the kingdom is also the greatest.

Of course, the Church’s long history plays a part, the kingdom’s Church Court was almost established together with the nation.

In almost any sizeable settlement, one can see the presence of churches.

Such a large and self-contained power is, in truth, not conducive to the stability of the country.

But there are quite a few Noble heirs in this classroom, you should understand the reason why the kingdom does not impose limitations on the expansion of the Church.

This reason cannot be generalized, but the most fundamental point is that because the power of the Church profession stems from the spirit,

The stronger their belief in their own principles, the more powerful they become, so Church people are never hesitant to express their views, unlike some sanctimonious Nobles - pardon my rudeness.

In other words, the Church’s professionals are, overall, consistent in word and deed.

It seems very simple, but when expanded to the entire organization, it presents extraordinarily reassuring and trustworthy qualities.

That is why, compared to other organizations, the Church’s certification carries more credit.

Here again, students may ask, if the Church’s profession is so good, then why not simply establish a Church Country, where everyone changes Profession to a Spirit professional?

Because I’m not a history expert, I can’t give a definite answer, but at the founding of the Church, they probably thought—

Sometimes, there are things that cannot be accomplished by mere spirit alone; also there are cases where excessive purity of good could result in destruction.

When a Church professional goes against their innermost beliefs, betrays their own principles, they either lose their power, or are destroyed by their own power, or even, fall into depravity as non-human Magic Creatures...

So the Church’s founders likely made the Church Court a power instead of establishing a country, not letting pure spirits bear it all, perhaps to avoid that kind of outcome.

Again, I digress, my apologies.

But having said this, surely you all understand by now, the power of the Spirit.

And it not only exists within ordinary humans.

Elves, Dwarves, Beastmen, even Demon Species, as long as they have Wisdom and emotions, possess this power.

So, what freed the Siren Princess from the Curse and liberated her Soul was not anyone else or a god, but her own noble and pure Spirit.

If you wish to study Psychic Magic or research the Church’s Magic Techniques, remember this.

Simply training and learning won’t necessarily bestow the power you desire.

You may crave insight into others, or even dream of manipulating hearts, but remember, it is your own Spirit that is your most precious treasure and true source of power.

So, the first lesson ends here, interested students, see you in the next class.

Oh, I forgot tomorrow’s a holiday, haha, I’ll have to persuade the principal not to schedule lectures at such awkward times next time.

Well, students, enjoy the vacation!

Class dismissed!
