Chapter 4: Castitas Church
Virtue Royal Academy was massive. The land covered a whole mountain range near the Royal Capital of the Virtue Kingdom.
With a population of more than a million people, the Academy City was built with the Virtue Royal Academy, the most prestigious one, in the center, surrounded by 5 other academies: Castitas, Temperantia, Diligentia, Humanitas, and Patientia, creating a pentagon-shaped city.
Each academy had its own specialties, with the Virtue Royal Academy specializing in nurturing students who would run this country in the future, no matter if it was commoners or nobles. The commoners were nurtured to become attendants, while the nobles were nurtured to become officials.
As its name suggested, most people who lived in Academy City were students and teachers, with some workers who maintained the city's beauty and people from religious backgrounds to spread Virtues.
The atmosphere in the city was calm and serene. With beautiful architectural buildings similar to Italy spread across the city and well-maintained streets, this city was built to make the students comfortable studying to their fullest.
Dormitories spread all across the city. The students from Virtue Royal Academy's dorm were located around the academy.
Currently, I walked around the city toward Castitas Academy, where the nuns and priests candidates were practicing to become full-fledged ones. The church was also located near the Castitas Academy, and that was where I was going right now.
If you were wondering what I wanted to do, it was most certainly not something lewd. Well, not really, but it would lead to that.
The reason why I went to the church was to get something. This something would help me in my journey to dominate girls in the future. It was all about status and standing.
'I can't go around freely as a commoner. With my power, I will surely be able to pass the church's test to become a Paladin. Hell, my last job in Horizon Online is Paladin. It will be strange if I can't pass the test!'
Right, I was about to get the Paladin title from the church. It was a special title bestowed on someone who had mastered <Swordsmanship> and <Holy Magic> and passed the test.
Unlike its name and origin, Paladin wouldn't be affiliated with the church. Instead, it was just an honorary title with a position similar to a Duke of the Virtue Kingdom and higher than a Pope of the church because of how important this title was.
Being a Paladin meant that person was similar to a Hero or an Apostle.
'Besides, one of the heroines I had my eyes on needed this title as the requirement to dominate her.'
All my moves were based on my goal. I wouldn't make any useless move unless I purposely moved uselessly to tease and mock my enemies.
After walking for a while, I arrived in front of a grand church with a polished white stone wall and two grand pillars at the entrance. Two big statues of naked female Angels stood grandly beside the pillars. The statues' faces looked beautiful, enough to make people stop for a second to take a look.
Even I, who had already seen them a few times in the game, marveled at the sight. I gulped and grinned.
'They are just statues. Don't get excited over them, Arthur!'
After having enough looking at the statues, I went up the stairs to enter the church. The church welcomed everyone, so I didn't need to book any appointment or anything to enter the church.
Some nun and priest-looking students from Castitas Academy were walking around the perimeter. The priest-looking students wore rather modest clothes that hid all their skins. However, the female students had skin-tight nun clothes, which amplified the silhouette of their curves.
Once again, this world originated from an Eroge which was designed for something lewd. But that didn't faze me at all. Because I knew… I knew that the official nuns' clothes were riskier even in this so-called Virtue Kingdom, though the clothes of the nuns in the Sin Kingdom were still riskier and skimpy.
'The Goddess in this world is crazy, after all. She designed the nun's clothes herself.'
In a church, there would be a statue of the Goddess they worshiped. In the case of this world, two Goddesses existed. The Virtue Kingdom worshiped Goddess Teri, while the Sin Kingdom worshiped Goddess Tera.
However, I knew something from the secret ending of the game.
'There is only one Goddess in this world, and her name is Lilith, the Goddess of Lust.'
I entered the church and was greeted by a grand hall with a high ceiling and many benches. At the hall's end, the Goddess Teri statue stood grandly. Like the angels, the Goddess was also naked while clasping her hands in front of her massive breasts.
Looking at the statue, the corner of my lips twitched, thinking at how the people in this Virtue Kingdom didn't even care if their Goddess was naked, which was the opposite of their teaching which was supposed to be pure.
As I wondered about that thing, a feminine and soft voice called out to me from the side.
"Welcome to the Castitas Church. What can I help, oh student from the Royal Academy?"
I looked toward the source of the voice and almost coughed at the sight he saw.
Standing before me was one of the official nuns, a beautiful woman with long silver hair peeking out under a veil and blue eyes. Her sleeveless nun dress was skin-tight, just like the students from Castitas Academy. In addition, she wore white gloves that went over to her elbow.
However, what made it different was the length of her skirt and her upper dress.
Her skirt could be described as a miniskirt, stopping just right after her crotch, separated a few centimeters from the end of her white socks.
What made the dress really different was the fact that the area around her bountiful breasts was fully exposed. The nun used something called breasts curtains draped around her neck, connected to her cape, to hide her front breasts from sight.
If she was careless, the curtains could easily move, and her breasts would be fully exposed. What a really vulgar Goddess for designing this kind of clothing. But she was the Goddess of Lust, so it wasn't something unusual.
Not only that, her dress was actually half-transparent. So people could see what was underneath her dress. She wore something like a white leotard, which, once again, didn't hide the area around her breasts at all.
Even her golden rosary that hung around her neck was stuck between her cleavage.
If not for the fact people were used to the sight of the nun and afraid of getting Sins, she would have already been pushed down by men.
Still… Keeping calm in front of a woman like that was impossible for a normal man, but I was different. I wasn't the strongest player in Horizon Online for nothing.
<Calm Mind>
Immediately, my mind was calmed down forcefully by my skill. It wasn't the time to make a move toward the nun first. If I attacked her now, I wouldn't be able to get the Paladin title.
However, once I got the Paladin title, I could freely choose any nuns I wanted to bang. Heck, they would give their pussies to me as Paladin was essentially similar to the Goddess' apostle in the living world. They would be happy to be banged and be grateful for what I did!
'You must be patient. This is your bonus stage. There is no need to be impatient and ruin it. Also, you're not the man who will sleep with random women.'
"I am here to take the test to be a Paladin."
"Are you sure?" The silver-haired nun asked me with a judging gaze. She observed me from head to toe and held her cheek. "While it is not dangerous, you can only take the test once in your lifetime, you know? Why don't you prepare yourself a bit more before taking the test?"
She kindly explained with a soft smile, clearly worried about me. If she wasn't kind and worried, she wouldn't ask me to prepare more.
"I am sure. Please let me take the test right now." I nodded and smiled confidently. With my handsome face, my words would surely be believable and have more persuading power.
The nun was still a bit hesitant. Maybe she hesitated because I didn't look strong. Or maybe she was afraid I would fail?
No one had ever managed to complete the test for a few hundred years. But as stated in rules, even the nun wasn't allowed to stop someone who wanted to take the Paladin test. So she sighed and lowered her hand, clasping them together to pray.
"Well then, please follow me. May Goddess Teri give you blessings."
"Yes."
And the nun turned around toward the inner area of the church with me following her from behind.
