In an instant, the startled Rukna ran to the dormitory without even thinking of removing the paper, covering her forehead with her palm.
Then, looking at the round mirror hung on the wall, she slowly removed the hand that had been covering her forehead.
Matian Wiegratz
Instead of demerits, his name and signature were written in cursive on the paper.
Rukna stared at her notebook and writing tools placed on the desk with a flushed face.
Writing the name and signature together.
That was the method Rukna used to mark her belongings.
[This is the timeline separator]Now, the bulletin board in front of the main gate was in an uproar.
“Wow, I never thought I’d see Matian Wiegratz’s name here!”
“I thought he wouldn’t cause a single accident until graduation.”
The notice posted this time was about the explosion incident that occurred yesterday.
The top section contained information about disciplinary action, and among them, Matian Wiegratz’s name stood out remarkably.
‘So it ended up like this.’
What was strange was that no one mentioned Rukna’s name to the professors.
Thanks to that, Rukna was able to slip out of that incident.
‘I feel bad for no reason.’
Rukna examined the notice carefully while dropping her shoulders.
Disciplinary subjects: Matian Wiegratz and 3 others (Chad Buto, Aaron Nouman, Bolton Bootke)
Reason for disciplinary action: Illegal damage to Golden College and school violence, assault on a professor
Disciplinary content: 5 days of volunteer work in the central granary region
‘Assault on a professor?’
What the heck did they do? Rukna grabbed the back of her neck. And after seeing the disciplinary content, she was surprised.
No, are they telling the noble young men to do farm work?
She wasn’t the only one who had doubts about that.
“Volunteer work in the central granary region means farming? That’s too much.”
“The irrigation was blocked there this time. They need to supply enough water in this weather, but there was a problem. Our school’s geology and divinity professors were supposed to support there, but they got hurt trying to stop that fight.”
“If the irrigation is blocked, it must be a reservoir problem.”
“Yeah. Monsters appeared and contaminated the reservoir. The temple is in an uproar because of that. Even the priests went out, right?”
“Is it that big of a deal?”
“Of course. If the harvest is bad this year, the whole empire will starve. The imperial family must have already sent support troops, right?”
Rukna, who gathered information through the students’ conversations, quietly slipped out of the crowd gathered in front of the bulletin board.
According to their conversation, it seemed that Matian would be assigned to handle monsters in the central granary region.
At that moment, a first-year student shyly approached Rukna.
“Excuse me, are you senior Rukna Golden?”
“Yes, that’s right, you timid one.”
Hans, who had approached from the side at some point, volunteered to answer instead of Rukna.
The first-year trembled and muttered, “As expected of the judge of death.”
“The divinity professor is calling for you now, senior.”
“Where is he now?”
“He’s hospitalized in the infirmary.”
Huh. It was surprising that the professor was hospitalized in the infirmary where even injured students don’t go.
Rukna pushed Hans away and headed straight to the infirmary.
“Mr. Gale, are you there?”
The infirmary, which she entered after knocking, was unusually lively for some reason.
The divinity professor, who occupied the bed, was having a conversation with Mr. Gale and greeted Rukna who had just arrived.
“Thank you for coming, student Rukna.”
The divinity professor was wearing a back brace. When wearing a jucket, he looked old, but in plain clothes, he looked like a handsome middle-aged man.
The brace’s surface was stained with red medicine, probably from applying a lot of it to the injured area.
“Are you alright, professor?”
“Haha, of course. I received the best treatment.”
The divinity professor glanced at Gale shyly, and Gale, who was holding a tea cup, tilted her head and frowned.
“How did you get hurt?”
“Unlike me, I overdid it and sprained myself. If student Matian hadn’t helped, I would have been caught in the explosion for sure.”
It was said that the high-level flame magic Chad unleashed that day had the firepower to blow away an entire building.
“Student Chad doesn’t usually draw that much power, but he fought with all his heart. He probably passed out from mana exhaustion and still hasn’t regained consciousness, right?”
Gale nodded at those words.
He would suffer for a week because he exhausted all his mana.
“Where were the swordsmanship or physical arts professors that you had to step in, professor?”
“Strangely, everyone was absent, haha.”
Ah. Rukna nodded. It made sense for them.
“The only men present were me and the geology professor, so we took the initiative first. Fortunately, we were nearby because we were in a meeting about dispatch to the granary region.”
Is that fortunate? Rukna sighed. It was truly remarkable that the two most diligent professors, who were also the weakest subject professors, stopped the fight between monsters.
“But professor, can’t your back be healed with divinity?”
“……”
“Professor?”
“The reason I called student Rukna is because I have a favor to ask.”
The divinity professor said, suddenly getting to the point with a benevolent smile.
“What favor?”
“Can you go to the central granary region in my stead?”
“Pardon?”
“Your divinity is needed, student.”
The professor said so and took out a letter from his bosom. The envelope was stamped with the seal of the high priest.
“This is……”
“His Holiness has invited student Rukna to the temple. He said he will personally awaken your latent divinity.”
Originally, one had to become a priest to awaken latent divinity through a ritual, but Rukna was a special case, so it was possible.
“That’s great, Rukna.”
Mr. Gale rejoiced, clasping his hands.
Seeing that, the divinity professor smiled shyly again, and Gale, sensing his strange emotion, fiddled with his black glasses.
“Then I’ll go first.”
“Alright, go ahead.”
Gale waved at Rukna. As the infirmary door slammed shut, an awkward silence lingered in the infirmary.
The divinity professor looked around and confirmed that the portrait of the husband, which was always placed on the bookshelf, had disappeared.
“Well, I heard you got divorced recently.”
“Shall I pour you some tea?”
Their words popped out at the same time.
The divinity professor joked that he had to drink tea with a straw because he injured his back, and Gale nodded, saying, “I did, divorce.”
“Is he doing well? He must be regretting losing someone like you, Ms. Gale.”
“He’s not doing that.”
“He must be!”
“He’s not, I said.”
“You’re so capable, wise, and beautiful……”
“He’s already dead, so he’s not doing that.”
Oh, dear. The divinity professor bit his tongue. He rolled his eyes wide and stayed silent for a moment, then threw out another question.
“So now you live alone……”
“I have a daughter.”
“Ah. She must be very young. Around 8 years old, I presume.”
“She’s 18.”
“Ei- eighteen?”
The divinity professor, who had guessed Gale’s age based solely on her appearance, roughly calculated Gale’s age with his fingers.
He thought they were the same age, but she was at least 8 years older. That’s why she has such broad knowledge and excellence.
The professor admired Gale even more and let out an exclamation without realizing it.
“You’ve already raised her. She’ll get married soon.”
“She’s still a student.”
“If she’s a student, does she attend St. Agnes Girls’ School?”
“No.”
“Ah, then Pucella Public Arts School……”
“No.”
Strange. The only place left is this military academy. Didn’t she just say daughter?
‘Haha, I keep sweating.’
The divinity professor blinked and wiped his damp eyes.
[This is the timeline separator]The process of getting permission to go out and borrowing a carriage to the temple was complicated but didn’t take long.
So this is the temple.
The white spire visible beyond the semicircular plaza.
The low building elaborately built according to the architectural style below seemed to symbolize God and the faithful.
“Who are you here to see?”
The priest at the entrance asked with a tired smile. His eyes were dark underneath, probably from being overworked.
“The high priest.”
When Rukna presented the letter, the priest checked the seal on it and handed over a paper with a number written on it in a nonchalant manner.
‘Number 23? What does it mean?’
“Please wait in front.”
Following the priest’s guidance, Rukna sat on a chair in front of a small prayer room.
Glancing at the person next to her, they were holding a ticket with 17 written on it.
‘Was it a waiting number ticket?’
Rukna sat and waited for her turn, holding back her boredom. After a little over an hour, it was finally Rukna’s turn, and she opened the door and entered the prayer room.
The narrow space was just like a confessional in a church.
A long wooden partition blocked the front like a wall in front of the narrow desk, and a small hole big enough for one hand was drilled at the top of the desk.
Rukna sat on the uncomfortable wooden chair. Then, from the other side of the partition, the high priest’s voice said, “Let us pray.”
‘What are we doing now?’
“Tsk tsk, don’t just stare blankly, pray to God.”
At those words, Rukna examined the ceiling. It was to check if there was something like a CCTV.
“You have to pray to go to heaven when you die.”
“I don’t go there. I go to a strange world.”
“Almighty Creator in heaven, the source of all things. Make us strong against the darkness and evil forces of the world, awaken true love in us, and……”
Instead of answering Rukna’s words, the high priest began to recite a long prayer.
“……so give us wisdom and holy courage.”
“So have you gained the courage to explain to me now, cookie man?”
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
[Note: This story will not specifically point out the male lead’s reincarnation time point; it’s all in the details. Whenever you feel that the male lead is acting strangely, he has most likely been reincarnated.]
