[Ahem. I apologise for my outburst, I will control myself.]

[You’d better,] Enid snaps, rubbing at her temple. [We’re all linked together with this bridge, Anthony isn’t the only one getting a headache from your shouting.]

[I am ashamed.]

[Geez, just take it easy, alright?]

I’m massaging my own temples with my antennae. Dealing with this guy is always such a pain.

[You’re the best person to provide information on something like this, so try to hold it together so we can ask some questions.]

The priest remains on the floor, his face pressed into the ground.

[So… are you getting up?]

[I believe it will be easier to control myself if I remain in this position, unable to lay eyes on your magnificence.]

This freakin’ guy…

Enid rolls her eyes and even Alis looks a little uncomfortable at his antics. I’m not wrong, right? This guy is way too weird, right?!

[Fine. Let’s just get on with this. These two have a Templar Class, of some sort. Is there anything similar in your knowledge of the System?]

[There isn’t,] Beyn replies, and I can feel the tension in his thoughts as he rigorously tries not to burst out with some nonsense. [In my opinion, for such a Class to come about, direct contact… with a… divine… entity… excuse me.]

Before my many-lensed eyes, he turns his head to one side, shoves his fist in his mouth, and screams at the top of his lungs, eyes bulging from his head. This goes on for far too long, before he shifts back to face-in-floor mode and resumes speaking.

[Direct contact with the divine, Great One. Although there have been Priests and the like all over Pangera ever since the System descent, Classes related to specific beliefs and individuals either don’t exist, or are kept secret.]
