Volume 3 Chapter 42 Sanctions
"...So, that's why I dramatically awakened my job class and elegantly rescued Ms. Alium."
"..."
As I watch Suisen sitting across from me, proudly recounting the story, I can't help but be in a daze.
Suisen came to visit early in the morning saying he had something to discuss, and I braced myself for whatever it was.
But I never imagined I would hear about the outrageous incident that happened last night.
The terrifying true nature of Sianna Navis.
The hatred of the male adventurers who were rejected by Ms. Alium.
Above all, the fact that Suisen awakened his job class at the last moment was the biggest surprise for me.
"...I was really wondering what was going on when Suisen came to visit again so soon after yesterday, but I never expected you would awaken her job class. Honestly, I'm still having a hard time grasping the situation."
"I myself still don't quite feel it yet. I think it's understandable. But as you can see, I have officially become a job class owner, free from being a Blasphemer (Weed)."
Suisen puts the tea cup he was holding back on the table and chants "Show Divine Revelation," pulling out a piece of paper that looks like parchment.
That paper, which was blank until now, now clearly shows the power that resides within Suisen.
[Job class] Charmer
[Level] 1
[Skill] Charm, Fear, Clown
[Magic] Enchantment Magic
[Divine Blessing]
- Strength: F100
- Agility: F100
- Resilience: F100
- Magic: D250
- Holy Power: F0
Charmer.
Just hearing about it, I can tell it's an incredible power.
The ability to force a command on someone who has been made conscious.
I've been an adventurer for a long time, but I've never heard of anyone with such power, even among monsters.
In fact, even though he was still at level 1, it seems Suisen managed to defeat multiple adventurers single-handedly last night.
It's an extraordinarily powerful job class.
"[Raise your right hand]."
"──!?"
Suddenly, Suisen's voice echoed in my head, and an invisible force lifted my right hand.
No matter how much I tried to resist, my raised hand wouldn't come down, and while I struggled, Suisen chuckled softly.
He probably demonstrated his awakened power to prove it.
Soon after, the stiffness wore off, and Suisen apologized, saying "I'm sorry".
"If I don't strongly make you conscious, I can't give you complex commands, so I can only issue simple commands like this. That's why enhancing your consciousness with Enchantment Magic and perfectly charming you is the power of a Charmer. I say this proudly, but I still can't handle my power well."
"...Even so, it's an incredibly terrifying power."
His ability will likely continue to grow, and I think the true value of the Charmer will be revealed from now on.
After repeatedly subjugating monsters and getting used to using her power, Suisen will truly blossom.
When I think about it, a truly terrifying monster has been born.
No, it might be more appropriate to say it has been created.
"I thought I should report to you first, so I'm sorry for coming early in the morning, but I visited the Nurturer. This job class is not my power; it was definitely awakened by Roezé."
"I, I don't really feel like I was much help..."
In fact, I was lamenting my own lack of power.
I had received a request to make him stronger, but in the end, I couldn't fulfill that.
"Last night, when I was in a tough spot, I suddenly remembered your words. No matter what I did, I couldn't have confidence in myself, but knowing I had the best friend in the world gave me the only confidence I needed. So, the reason I was able to awaken my job class is thanks to you, Roezé."
"...I see."
So, I was able to help Suisen after all.
I still don't really feel it, but if he says so, I guess I should change my mind.
For now, I'll hold back on saying, 'There are people I can't make strong,' since Suisen has managed to become strong like this.
"Anyway, congratulations, Suisen."
"Thank you, Roezé. You've really helped me a lot."
Suisen had a clear smile, as if something had been lifted off his shoulders.
I'm really glad he was able to become strong.
It was a new discovery that Blasphemer (Weed) could awaken a job class, and this whole situation was a big gain for me too.
Just as everything was wrapping up, I suddenly became curious and asked Suisen something.
"So, did Sianna and the others really crawl on the ground all the way to the Church? Dragging their legs and getting all scraped up...?"
I could understand the anger Suisen felt, but could it be true that they really faced such punishment? When I cautiously asked, Suisen smiled and said, "Hehe".
"Do you really think so? Even though I was really angry, I didn't force them that much. It was just a bluff to scare them."
"R-Really...?"
From the way Suisen spoke, it didn't sound like a joke at all.
"Just because it was late at night, if a bunch of adventurers were crawling on the ground through the town streets, it would definitely cause a huge commotion. Plus, I didn't want to bother the townspeople. So, I just told a lie for the sake of intimidation. Thanks to that, I was able to make a few of them cry, so I'm really satisfied."
"So, you just ordered the culprits to go to the Church without doing anything to them?"
When I asked that, Suisen let out a small laugh, clearly amused.
"Do you really think I sent them to the Church without any punishment? I didn't make them crawl all the way to the Church, but I definitely gave them a 'different kind of punishment' to make them reflect."
"A, a different punishment?"
"If they have to atone for their sins at the Church, it would probably involve physical punishments like Whip Strike or branding. A prison sentence would be around 5 years, but I decided to leave the direct pain to the Church. Instead, the punishment I gave them was... for the next 20 years, they are banned from using their 'abilities' and 'divine blessings'."
"Wait..."
Banned from using abilities and divine blessings? Hearing about that terrifying punishment made me shiver.
"So, that means they won't be able to use magic, skills, or divine blessings at all for the next 20 years?"
"That's right. I ordered them that way. I put them in a state where they can't use the powers of the job class given by the gods. Just like I was as Blasphemer (Weed). I wanted them to experience that suffering and helplessness."
Then Suisen brushed back his golden bangs and continued with a very proud look.
"Those who hurt Ms. Alium were the real blasphemers."
"..."
Suisen was covering his mouth with his hand, chuckling softly.
I couldn't tell if he was happy about saying something clever, but hearing about such a terrifying punishment made me shudder.
Can he really give such detailed Commands?
To restrict their powers for 20 years?
I guess everyone was in a state of extreme Consciousness with Suisen, which allowed for such complex Commands.
With this, they probably can't cause any trouble anymore.
Since Suisen seems satisfied, maybe this was the right choice.
Just as I was hearing about Sianna and the others' fate, I remembered something else I wanted to ask.
"By the way, how is Ms. Alium doing? After the incident, you took her to the clinic facility, right?"
During the fight with Sianna and the others, it seems Ms. Alium lost consciousness the whole time.
She didn't wake up after the battle either, and I heard Suisen took her to the clinic facility before coming to see me.
Even amidst the chaos, she showed no signs of waking up, and she had many injuries.
I wondered if Ms. Alium was okay.
When I asked, Suisen lowered his eyelids, looking a bit down.
"According to the healer at the clinic facility, it seems she lost consciousness from receiving a 'powerful electric shock' from the burns."
"Electric shock?"
"I think she was knocked out by Ms. Sianna's magic. But they said there's no danger to her life, and she should wake up soon without any lasting effects."
"...That's good to hear."
I felt a wave of relief wash over me.
It would have been hard to celebrate the resolution of the incident if something had happened to Ms. Alium.
I'm glad everything turned out well.
Because now...
"Once Ms. Alium wakes up, you'll finally be able to confess your feelings to her. Now that you've awakened your job class and gotten stronger, and with the troublemakers like Sianna gone, there's no reason to hesitate anymore. You can finally make your long-awaited confession."
"..."
I couldn't help but smile as I brought it up again.
I never expected to feel this happy about someone else's love life.
But...
"Hm?"
Unlike my excited feelings, Suisen's expression darkened as he looked down.
He seemed to be biting his lip in worry, and his fists were tightly clenched on the table.
I felt anxious wondering if something was wrong, and as I watched him, he eventually lifted his weak gaze and shook his head.
"No, I won't confess."
"What?"
"I won't confess to Ms. Alium. I've caused her too much 'trouble' already."
