Holy Mark

"Jenny, daughter of a craftsman... so that was your name."

After chatting for a bit, Sulu took off his hat. "Well then... I should be going."

"No, please wait, Mr. Turing!"

Jenny hurriedly asked, "Are there... many monsters like that? And the Church's extraordinary individuals—I mean... what are supernatural powers?"

"You're very curious about them?"

Sulu paused, amusement in his eyes.

Jenny took a deep breath. "Yes. I'm extremely curious about everything unknown!"

"Anomalous things—that is, monsters and certain mysterious items—do indeed exist in this world. Humans have also mastered extraordinary powers, and those who wield them are called 'Saints'...

For example, the Free City-State Alliance is famous for its Spider Holy Mark, while the local Natural Church excels at the Gryphon Holy Mark and Cat Holy Mark... Some Evil God cults have even passed down several highly bizarre Holy Mark paths. I wouldn't recommend that you try those..."

Though she did not understand much of it, Jenny still did her best to remember every word Sulu said.

Perhaps while becoming a great craftsman, I can also try becoming an extraordinary individual? The two don't conflict... What exactly is a Holy Mark, and how can I get one?

Jenny sneaked back home and found everything
