In My Previous Life I Was a Saint, but Now I Want to Cut Corners

Daniel McCloy was in fifth grade, but he couldn't compete in this year's Elementary.

Punished for burning a white Riggle at the behest of Pope's nephew Lloyd Craft, he was suspended from school for the duration of the Elementary Arts.

"Damn, why is this happening....."

I was thinking of going back to the territory during the suspension, but I was told not to come back from my home when I saw the situation.

Daniel's house is the Earl's House, but its territory is adjacent to the Holy Lord's Land and has a deep relationship with the Church.

From generation to generation, the priesthood is often other than the wedlock, and belongs to a faction called the Church in the Kingdom of Eldria.

Danielle is an illegitimate son, but considering the future, she is likely to be abandoned and forced into some church and become a priest instead of her brother.

But Daniel, without the protection of Shine the Spirit of Light, has no choice but to become a priest apprentice or holy knight.

If I can't get to Elementary Ad, I wonder if I can even hold that position...

Fifth-graders will appeal to visitors the magic and swordsmanship they have learned so far in a personal match.

Especially since Prince Leonardo of the King will also appear this year, I hear that guests of the royal family are also scheduled.

Lloyd, who is still in third grade, and Ange, who was suspended from school with him, are in first grade, so they don't have to join the Elementary Arts to do much damage, but Danielle isn't.

If we can't show the individual games in front of the nobles who come to watch the Elementary Arts, the course will be closed after graduation.

If you can't attend because of an injury or illness that the clergyman can't even heal, it's a suspension due to scandal.

Danielle's future is like being painted black.

"I thought I could be close to the next Pope Lloyd and Angel the Virgin....."

The current Pope is extremely popular for his charisma.

A masked pope with miraculous hands who can be saved if the lights of life don't go out.

Behind that inorganic mask is an unimaginable beauty, sealed by itself so as not to confuse people with that beauty.

Danielle had never actually seen the face of the pope, but Lloyd, who often saw that face, certainly did.

The nephew of the Pope makes Lloyd a promised future Pope.

That's why Daniel's father ordered Daniel to get along with Lloyd while he was at school.

I didn't expect that to come out the back.

Until then, Lloyd had often challenged Daniel, but Ange's behavior had become more radical since she enrolled in school.

I certainly don't understand how you feel about cherishing the Virgin, but...

Danielle expresses her thoughts to Angel, who is regarded as a saint.

Immediately after enrolling in school, I thought she was just an ignorant civilian and an ordinary girl with unlikely special powers.

But after Lloyd treated me like a princess who didn't even lay down, and caused a miracle with first-year orientation, I became more and more selfish.

I also heard that they behave like queens to their civilian classmates in the same class.

If a Virgin could do such a miracle, it was only natural that she should be revered, but if the miracle was not due to Angel, but to the misty Virgin, as Prince Cecil said, Daniel was dawn in disbelief and regret as to what she had believed until now.

After the suspension was decided, Danielle was in her room.

Luckily, I was given a private room, so I never had contact with anyone other than House Butler.

Originally, I had to go to the cafeteria to eat, but I was suspended from school and all three meals were brought to the house butler.

There aren't many house butlers with dormitories, but two important people this year, Prince Leonardo and Arthur of the Sheridan Marquis, are enrolled in the school, and they bring their own valet and butler, so they can afford the staff and help Danielle with her selfishness.

"What am I supposed to do now?"

Danielle's punishment has been suspended, but in fact, it is not yet confirmed.

Whether or not the attack on Riggle is perceived as an attack on Lenalia Sheridan is likely to result in expulsion from school.

If that happens, it's not about being pushed by the church.

Probably banished from the house, thrown into the church by the lowest bastard, or...

Danielle, who was heading for the desk, nodded with her hands over her face in anticipation of a dark future.

At that time, I heard a knock on the door of the room.

Not even students of the same denomination have visited this room since Daniel was suspended from school.

Whoever it was opened the door, and instead of the usual house butler, there was a servant who wore a better dress.

"You're Daniel Macroy. His Royal Highness Prince Leonardo wants to see you."

"Mr. Leonardo...?"

Suddenly, Danielle's head didn't work.

What on earth can I do for you?Maybe something worse will happen.

Or, as a student at the same school, will you reach out for salvation?

Confused by anxiety and expectations, Daniel followed his servant.
