BXBX NOVEL Chapter 59: The Holiest One!
Marco was the second coming of the Anomaly, everybody knew it, everybody felt it, you see that guy, you know he's meant to do shit, he's meant to be something normal people couldn't reach, now it's true that he wasn't very high in the ranking, he was the 4th, but it's because the top 3 monsters, are the children of that same Anomaly, and not just some child that's believed to achieve what he achieved years ago.
He just had something, something that attracted people, the amount of fangirls and boys he had? Ohh Great Mother Above! he's by far the most popular in the school! But aside from his devilish handsomeness his smile that can cause one's soul to ascend and and his kindness, he also had some not seen before intellect.
Sit with him and he can make you believe whatever he wants, he knows his stuff and knows exactly how to make an argument and make someone believe him.
Thankfully this world doesn't have the concept of religion for a much greater reason, otherwise, Marco would have definitely without a second of doubt become the Arch-Bishop and the pillar that could help Humanity stand above many races and even possibly stand side by side with the Beastmen and Dragons.
for your information, a Priest is essentially a person who has a connection to the elements, especially the healing elements and spirits connected to said elements and he can use that same connection to cause many supernatural phenomena in exchange for Mana.
but whether Churches and religions existed or not, it didn't matter since Marco would reach what he was meant to reach what he was meant to no matter what happened, but the Method could always be different.
Indeed, there were Celestials ruling and watching over the world but their causes and reason for they were doing were directly related to their rise of power, and they didn't work with faith but the achievements of those they've blessed, this was directly connected to how high they would rise later on but, this was something far from us currently.
We're talking about Marco, and Marco had a close circle of those he felt more in tune with even his lover, those people were strong, smart, or had unique qualities about them that just separated them from the rest of his fangirls and boys.
But if Marco was to give any of his crew an order, they would act without a second thought, and let's not even talk about the Crazy fangirls and boys, some of those were on the level of Shadow.
Overall, Marco was a charismatic person, and aside from his Job and handsomeness he had uncountable other strong points, and he knew exactly how to use them to his advantage.
This was also what Draco wanted to put to use, but even more so he wanted to see its effects.
So what did he do to reach where he is right now?
Well actually he didn't do anything, he was just the first person to make friends with the children of the Anomaly, the first person they considered their rival, the first person in this school to have met the Emperor personally, and also the lover of his daughter.
Now meeting the Emperor is one thing, becoming the Lover of his daughter is another, but gaining his Approval? Just what did he see in him?
Not only that, he actually made a contract with a spirit without being a [Spirit Master] but this was because he was [Priest] and this made him obtain the variant of this job.
In the entire history of humans, he was the first to do that, making him another Anomaly.
This and a lot of other things made him rise in the view of the Academy, Instructors, and the entirety of the Human race since everything related to their dear Emperor is a hot cake for them, and obviously the students, but such a being would look like a wall to not be crossed, especially since he's HER lover.
No one crazy enough would even come close to him, but what they noticed was that SHE wasn't the one in charge but he was, and he was slowly changing her, which made them start questioning some things, THAT girl acts like a child when she's with him? this was hard to believe...
At first, they were only those two, but slowly more and more were added, it's as if the guy was a magnet, a special kind of magnet only attracting the best and most unique, but its effects on more normal people were still frightening nonetheless.
they just set boundaries, especially HER, any girl coming 10 meters close to him ends up dead, if any girl wanted to get chummy with him she needed her approval first, no questions asked.
The problem was, Marco was no noble, no prince from a fallen kingdom, he was but a slum boy rising from the rubbles, not the Empire's no, but from a part of the continent where the Empire was still renovating the land.
Yet it changed nothing in this world if you were a commoner, a noble, or a king, if you're weak you get stepped on, if you have no redeeming qualities you get killed, if you don't achieve something worth the while of the strong no one's giving you a second glance.
Not the academy, not its students, not the Empire, or even the Anomaly himself.
Draco knew all this, and he was setting his goals high, he was sure, his guts told him, no matter how high his stats got, that guy called the Anomaly who stood at the top, or maybe even those above EX-Rank didn't rely on stats to fight, he had an inkling of what it would be from his experience and knowledge, however, it didn't stop him from using still loose ends to infiltrate deep inside the Empire.
