The more they oppose, the more it shows that I am doing the right thing

The Era of Chaos, huh...

An Su had a thoughtful expression on his face.

In the original setting of the work, the Era of Chaos was mentioned in passing.

It was an era dominated by the faith in chaos.

The Chaos Sect and Hierarchical Mysticism—at that time, it should have been called the Kingdom of Chaos, which occupied nearly half of the continent.

The 'front line' mentioned in the telegraph might just refer to the war with the Kingdom of Chaos.

However, following a certain disaster, the Kingdom of Chaos was completely destroyed.

The remnants of its people were displaced for decades, until they slowly gathered together again to form what is now known as the Chaos Sect and Hierarchical Mysticism.

As time went by, Mysticism of Chaos had become one of the Seven Great Mystical Sects.

Followers of chaos are cunning and sinister; they pursue pleasure in their own lives, excel at disguise, and love to sow division. Betrayal, for them, is as simple as drinking water.

Of all the Seven Great Mystical Sects, they are the one with the most unstable emotions, akin to a cult of mental illness,

and An Su had no desire to confront these individuals.

In the original work, the Mysticism of Chaos also occupied a significant portion of the narrative,

particularly the new generation of the cult: the Hierarchical Holy Daughter Elf, the Chaos Child Doug, and the Chaos Priest Gana—known together as the Trio of Chaos. They roamed freely across the northern continent, infiltrating various social strata, and inducing chaos in city-states.

They could destabilize a city-state within a matter of weeks.

Leading priests to corruption, inciting territorial splits, and turning kin into enemies—to create delight in the goddess through chaos and thereby receive the deity's blessings.

He feared they would come to wreak havoc on him.

Since ancient times, An Su had always been the most devoted believer of the god of order.

What if he accidentally fell into their clutches?

He feared nothing more than being led astray!

An Su was very satisfied, having operated the training seminar for nearly a month now—everything was so calm and peaceful.

Full of life and vibrancy.

He would continue to conduct exams for the students during evening self-study.

October was fast approaching the early winter. The academy's corridors were adorned with whistling cold winds, and rime formed on the floor-to-ceiling windows. Sunlight filtered through the frost, scattering rays of desolate chill across the room.

In the washroom, Alice stared at her reflection in the mirror, her index finger gently pressing against her cheek. The figure in the mirror rippled with the wind, revealing another face hidden beneath.

Bright red pupils, with blossoming flowers at their center.

"Damn it," the person in the mirror cursed softly.

Elf felt that she was on the verge of becoming virtuous.

"An Su Moningsta, no matter how devout a saint he may be, we shall surely make him fall. This is what your Chaos Sect excels at."

This was the command from the Avad Empire a month ago.

An Su Moningsta had taken the key to the Kingdom of Chaos,

and Seden Town had already taken shape.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

If they wanted to reclaim it, they needed to corrupt this saint named An Su.

He was now the bishop of Seden Town.

They couldn't kill him, they had to lead him to fall.

Just a boy of not yet fifteen, such matters were naturally very simple.

A child born on the borderlands, steadfast in belief, kind and naïve—the most valuable kind to throw into chaos.

This mission was crucial,

and Elf had made all sorts of preparations.

For example, a High-Rank Sacred Relic masquerading as an ordinary accessory, "The Chaos of the Virtuous."

It could momentarily hypnotize beings of lower Rank than herself, and with long-term use, it could even brainwash them.

To get close to An Su, they had chosen to hide their identities early on.

As usual, this meant disguising themselves as someone close and trusted by An Su.

To make an enemy fall, one must first understand the enemy.

In his inaugural speech as Nether Bishop, An Su asserted with heartfelt conviction that all saints were his brothers in arms,

According to the newspapers, he had even specifically mentioned three names, "Alice, Shana, Rosen..."

So they had their targets for infiltration.

Elf disguised herself as Alice, while the other two members of her team took on the identities of Shana and Rosen.

The Church had inside help from the Mysticism of Chaos,

coupled with the fact that after experiencing the church world, these individuals were in a very poor mental state, bordering on breakdown,

As a Chaotic Saintess, she easily took the identity, quickly seizing it.

After a brief fusion with the soul, she temporarily became Alice.

Alice's thoughts were also influencing Elf's mindset.

Alice was her, and she was Alice.

All along the way, she played the part very well.

She even imitated the inner emotions.

She hypnotized herself to believe, "I came to Seden to learn."

Then, the innate fear from An Su was reflected in the Chaotic Saintess's mind through Alice's body.

"...Aren't you brothers in arms?"

Having fully integrated Alice's memories, including her emotions, demeanor, honor, and more, she greeted An Su gracefully on the day of the recruitment, but he bluntly retorted:

'Take off your ear jewelry!'

'So young and already piercing ears, truly shameless!'

...Elf watched helplessly as An Su placed her 'Chaos of the Virtuous' into a small case.

?

No,

aren't you a truly good frontier boy!

Why are you taking people's belongings on the first day?

What Elf didn't know was that this was just the beginning of her ordeal.

'A hypocrite of a saint'

Elf thought quietly, but decided to endure it for now, in order to infiltrate Seden Town.

Even without the help of the Chaos of the Virtuous, she could easily take down An Su with her methods!

As long as she could find the opportunity,

she could get it done on the first day.

Then, on her first day in Seden Town, the Chaotic Saintess was punished to copy school rules five hundred times.

She was almost unable to recognize the words 'strive for excellence' anymore.

Then the second day it is.

On the second day, she realized that Magic Eyes were everywhere in this place.

An Su euphemistically commanded them to be 'security booths'.

The three of them were assigned to three different classes; the Child of Chaos entered the class taught by Arthur, and the Chaos Priest joined the class under Lister's instruction.

She had to make these three turn against each other!

Arthur advocated the spirit of knighthood, believing that a true knight should keep his body vigorous even in the dead of winter,

thus, the Child of Chaos trained shirtless each day, too exhausted to get out of bed, with no energy left to strike at An Su.

A month later, the Child of Chaos chose to withdraw from school.

He returned the body.

Lister taught the will of nobility, believing that a true noble should possess unyielding persistence.

Practically, this meant that Lister's classes always ran over, occupying all the breaks, leading to the Chaos Priest not only lacking the time to strike at An Su but also missing time to even use the restroom!

A month later, the Chaos Priest also chose to withdraw from school.

He returned the body.

Elf, however, was assigned to the class personally taught by An Su.

An Su believed that moral thought was of utmost importance, as one with a fragile mind and low morals couldn't become a perfect saint.

This sounded rather normal.

So, Elf began on An Su's path of moral education.

Then she was almost brainwashed in return.

An Su's motivational education, like a pyramid scheme, with non-stop inspirational messages, alternating between criticism and oppression in his teaching artistry, every step was near perfect.

The more homework the students did, the happier the principal became.

Everything appeared orderly, yet it contained the purest chaos.

He successfully convinced all the saints:

'It's all because I'm not working hard enough.'

Only now did Elf realize,

if this continued, she would truly end up as a devout believer!
