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.]

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.]

[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.]
