A Short While Ago.

Academy Lecture Hall.

"The belief of intelligent beings, in other words, faith, gives rise to divinity, and that gathered divinity births a deity."

A professor standing at the lecture podium was delivering a lecture in a leisurely voice.

"A deity is made of divinity and exercises influence by consuming that divinity. When a deity performs a miracle, the believers produce even more faith, thereby replenishing the deity's divinity."

"Yawn... When is this going to end?"

Albus asked Wald, his eyes half-closed.

"Hmm... seems like there's still quite a bit left," Wald replied, resting his chin on the desk with a bored expression.

"This may lead to the question of why gods don't freely perform miracles in the Middle Earth to gain more divinity. However, it's not that simple. If it were, we would have witnessed a heavenly scene where gods descend to earth and grant our wishes. But in reality, the parts where gods can intervene in the Middle Earth are limited."

"Yawn... Why does that guy always talk about the same thing?" Albus rubbed his eyes with his hands.

"Many scholars have researched the conditions or limitations under which gods can intervene on earth since ancient times, but nothing has been definitively revealed. Except for the fact that gods have less room to intervene than we might think."

Due to the professor repeating stories from previous lectures, not only Albus and Wald but also a considerable number of other students were dozing off.

"It seems everyone is struggling to listen because I'm repeating things I've said before." The professor adjusted his glasses with his finger.

"Then, let's talk about something that might pique your interest. Rudera. It's been causing quite a stir across the continent these days."

"...Rudera?" Albus couldn't help but react when the professor mentioned the world he created.

"Haha, friend. Just hearing the name Rudera wakes you up. That's a serious condition," Wald teased.

"...I don't want to hear that from you." Albus glared at Wald briefly before focusing on the professor.

Rudera was currently a major issue on the continent, but until now, no professor had ever mentioned Rudera during class.

Despite most professors enjoying Rudera when their accounts were fully investigated, they never talked about it during lessons.

Those professors who loved talking about their own stories.

"It seems everyone's interest is piqued by the mention of Rudera." The professor chuckled as he saw the students become more animated.

"Due to the principal's orders, it's a topic we shouldn't discuss during class. But as an educator and a researcher, it's hard to simply let it go."

'The principal ordered us not to talk about it?'

Why?

Albus pondered the reason.

'Is it because the academy's original purpose is to impart traditional norms and order to students?'

Students need to absorb the knowledge and order passed down from the past, but if they become interested in Rudera, which makes them pursue momentary pleasure, the education might not be properly conducted.

Moreover, since Rudera appeared not long ago and has brought a certain level of chaos socially, the older generation naturally doesn't want educators to mention it.
