Naturally, the staple that was present in all academy stories was also present in the Temple: club activities. Within the Temple, there were clubs that specialized in areas like magic research, swordsmanship training, or study-focused groups for majors, as well as clubs that leaned more towards hobbies like music, and of course, some clubs of a more enigmatic nature. Naturally, there were religious gatherings too. 2

With a student population exceeding one hundred thousand, the number of clubs was so vast that counting them seemed pointless. Although these clubs had been included in the setting of the novel, Ludwig, the protagonist, did not join any, so none were described in detail. If the story shifted to focus on club activities, then what happened in these club activities would become the main storyline.0

Therefore, while stories that focused on academy life could take two paths, I chose to take one over the other. As for whether there were students in Class A participating in club activities, I wasn’t quite sure.0

Anyway, Adriana was trying to take me to experience an internal club within the Royal Class. Although Adriana worshiped Ouen, the god of purity, it was said that the club gathered people who worshiped the various deities of Pentatheism.0

Indeed, religiousness was not restricted only to clubs. The Temple itself housed temples dedicated to each of the Five Great Gods. There, sacred studies classes were conducted, and on weekends, services were held for students who believed in those religions, regardless of their major. I knew that the temples would be packed during the weekend services since there were many students with strong religious beliefs, even if divinity wasn’t their major field of study.0

Adriana figured that, instead of taking me directly to a weekend service, sharing various stories and slowly increasing my exposure to her beliefs would likely lead me to attend a service with her eventually.0

Of course, I had no intention of going...2
