Episode 86. Secret Contact
“You have granted permission.”
The dean who went to report to the principal never dreamed that the principal would allow this.
“This is unprecedented, Mr. Ethan. Not only are new teachers assigned to teach one class each in the department, but they’re even allowed to open a new class, and a practical class at that!”
This is unprecedented. I have been working in this field for over 20 years and have seen many talented people.
There were so many great teachers among them that I wondered if there would ever be another teacher like them.
In the past there was the Black Knight, and in the present there was Cloudy Hyde.
But the new teacher in front of me was more shocking than those two combined.
He had as much talent for teaching as Cloudy, and as much talent for swordsmanship as Geomje.
If you have just one, you can become a master.
Ethan had both talents.
“I thought you would be willing to give me a detailed explanation, but you gave me permission right away.”
“How on earth are you going to conduct practical classes? You said you won’t have outdoor classes, won’t use monsters, and won’t have sparring between students either.”
“This is a practical lecture using Golem.”
“Practical training using Golem?”
Ethan showed his class schedule to the Dean of the College of Engineering. The Dean read the schedule through and looked puzzled.
“Is this possible? A golem can’t do something like this? Students at our Ibeka level would be able to figure out the golem’s movements quite easily.”
“This is not a normal golem. I will use a special golem, and that golem will move in a way that is closer to real combat.”
“That’s ridiculous. Where on earth would you find a golem like that?”
“I made it.”
“You made it?”
“Yes, me and my escort.”
Just when he thought there was nothing more to be surprised about, the Dean of Faculty couldn’t figure out just how talented this Ethan Wickers was.
“Then I will take your permission. The second semester class will be conducted as an introduction to practical swordsmanship. I will separately contact the principal who gave permission.”
“Mr. Ethan.”
The dean called him with a serious expression.
“There will be an exchange competition with the Department of Magic in the second semester. Professor Cloudy will probably be a candidate, but I would like you to compete with Professor Cloudy.”
Ethan didn’t answer, just nodded.
The inter-departmental exchange festival could be seen as a practice for the biggest festival held in the winter, the Academy Exchange Festival.
In this situation, the Dean of the College had no choice but to follow the Principal’s wishes. Didn’t the Principal sense Ethan’s potential from the time he interviewed him?
If we treat it according to the existing rules, we will not be able to develop its potential.
‘I guess they don’t think of me as just a new teacher anymore.’
As soon as Ethan nodded, two notification windows popped up at the same time.
-The Dean of the College of Engineering sends his confidence to you!
-Renewed the shortest time!
-Your reputation will rise dramatically!
-You have been granted permission to create new classes!
-Renewed the shortest time!
-Your reputation will rise dramatically!
The trust of the Dean of the College of Engineering and the authority to open new classes.
Both of these were impossible tasks for a new teacher to handle, so Ethan was definitely compensated for it.
Ethan smiled faintly and bowed his head at the satisfying reward.
“I will try hard.”

The day of contact for the followers of the moon.
Ethan had been climbing Grandhorn every day to hunt until this day of contact.
As a result, not only did I gain a better sense of reality, I was also able to achieve one more thing I wanted.
-You have achieved the achievement!
– [Wolf Slayer] Likes were earned by completing the achievement.
– Got ‘5’ likes!
“I’ve caught so many wolves that I have so many wolf skins.”
Currently, Ethan’s subspace pocket contained numerous materials.
I had been saving up materials to make equipment by entrusting them to a great blacksmith, but I was busy with various other things and was unable to use them.
“After the parent observation class is over, I guess I’ll have to go find a blacksmith.”
I know a promising blacksmith around here.
He was probably an apprentice now, but if he waited a little longer, he would become famous as Gold Hand, so it seemed like it would be best to find him quickly.
Ethan climbed up to the Grand Horn and used the Great Thief’s Ultimate.
I have no plans to hunt today. I plan to wait quietly for the followers to make contact.
‘You have to be careful.’
These outside helpers were sent by the Moon Followers to carry out the plan for this Parents’ Day.
‘The Ibeka Academy is quite important to you too. If Ibeka falls, they will be able to proceed with their plans one by one.’
So, the followers will also send people who can control this plan with certainty.
‘The apostle is not coming.’
The apostles are heavy-assed characters.
If so, then perhaps the First Order class will come.
Instead of being a First Order unit used for infiltration purposes like Hassen Little, we’ll have personnel who can handle internal and external missions.
As I was waiting quietly, someone approached me without a sound.
A follower of the moon wearing a pitch-black robe approached the marked area. After naturally checking the order, he moved inside.
Ethan followed after him.
The moon follower who had gone quite deep stood still in that spot. Then, a man wearing the same robe appeared from the opposite direction.
“You came.”
Ethan stepped back as soon as he saw the two.
Then he took a seat in a position where he could see the two of them.
‘This should be enough.’
Then a voice came to his ear.
“This is a very important task. I must kill one of the Marquis along with the traitor. If I fail to succeed in this task, the Ghost Sword will not waver.”
“But is there a reason to do this? We could just send a few assassins to kill them.”
“Tsk, have you lost your touch when it comes to dealing with people after only dealing with animals?”
“Watch what you say. If you don’t want to die.”
“If we send an assassin to kill her, it won’t be the Academy’s fault. We’re working to completely bring Ibeka down to the ground.”
“It would be more impactful if a beast came in and bit a person to death, I see.”
“Yeah, I see monsters as something that can be controlled without any problems. Unless they’re dragons.”
Dragons are a natural disaster, so even if they suddenly appear, you can’t blame the Academy. But monsters are different.
If you suffer damage because you are unable to deal with a monster that appears in the Academy, whether it is a strong or weak monster, it is the Academy’s fault.
“It lowers your reputation and continues to amplify that insecurity.”
“Okay, then what should I do?”
“This Grand Horn has two masters. One is the Mountain King White Tiger, and the other is the Golden Wolf. You put a leash on the Mountain King White Tiger and tame him. Then, on the day of the parent-teacher conference, you release the tamed creature. The White Tiger will kill the target and die there with him.”
“So, what’s the target?”
“Damn traitors, Dritch and Margrave Röntgen!”
“Dr. Dr. Chira, he has finally betrayed us. Did he sell our information to the Holy Empire?”
“Yeah, that’s how you got the title. You idiot. And you went to the academy to try a new life.”
“This time, there are several reasons. Marquis Röntgen must be trying to blur his eyes.”
“Are you starting to feel better now? Yes, Marquis Röntgen has no connection to us. And he happens to be of a high rank.”
Their goals in this endeavor were twofold.
One was to punish the traitor, and the other was to shake up the Academy.
“I checked. You said that mana is limited within the Academy? Then it should be very easy.”
I could feel her smiling brightly inside the robe.
“Then come back with the leash on right away. I’ll see you then.”
“For a new world.”
The two men were torn apart and moved in opposite directions at the same time. Ethan, who had been watching the whole scene, ran towards the follower who was trying to put a leash on the monster.
‘Make a plan.’
During this parent observation class, I learned clearly about the Moon Followers’ plan. I learned all the details that were vague.
‘There’s no point in trying to stop it in advance. But it’s not a good idea for me to step forward and stop it either.’
If you block it in advance or Ethan himself steps forward, it will only draw the attention of the Moon Followers.
So naturally, we should take advantage of this opportunity.
‘The traitor should be killed, but not the Marquis Röntgen, but someone else.’
That guy named Dritch is a guy who betrayed me once.
That kind of guy will betray you again. Dealing with him is a certainty.
‘I think it would be a good idea to put Martins Lane in there.’
He sets Martins Rahné as the lead actor and places himself on the side.
‘I just need to get my hands on it and gain some fame and trust from the parents.’
Ethan quickly formulated a plan.
‘I guess I should get a little closer.’
Ethan was currently keeping quite a distance from his followers. The mastery of the great thief’s technique he was using was not very high at the moment.
‘It may work on the Demons, but those guys are experts at stealth operations from the beginning.’
In that case, it is possible that the spirit is higher than that of the Demon Race.
It is not easy to kill someone in one breath by surprise.
‘how will we do it…….’
As Ethan was gradually closing the distance, his follower suddenly looked back.
At the same time, something huge rushed towards the follower with a loud bang from the direction where Ethan was.
It looked as if Mt. Taishan was moving.
“Huh!”
“This is a holy place. It is not a place for dirty people who chase after dirty things.”
“The young beast can talk!”
Pure white fur and mane.
The master of Grand Horn was the mountain king Baekho.
‘Phew, thanks to that I didn’t get caught.’
But I knew for sure.
When dealing with high-ranking members of the Moon Followers, you must be careful as a Grand Thief.
‘I need to improve my proficiency further.’
As Ethan watched, a fierce fight broke out between Baekho and his followers.
True to its name, the White Tiger would swing its front paws once, causing the ground to shatter and sending waves out into the surrounding area.
The follower of the moon was desperate to avoid such movements of the white tiger, but he somehow managed to find the timing and reached out as if he only had to hook the golden leash in his hand.
Boom-!
The white tiger’s speed has increased.
The shoulder of the follower who missed the momentary movement was torn off. It was a deep wound, but in return, the follower of the moon succeeded in sprinkling something from his bosom.
“Crunch!”
“Spiritual beings like you who can mimic human speech are naturally imbued with divine power. You in particular… … .”
A robed follower roughly removed his hood.
He was smiling, showing his teeth.
“I feel the energy we were looking for. I never thought things would work out this well.”
“Kurrrrrrrrrr!”
“Bark louder! The more you bark, the more the magic seeps into you. The magic will eat away at your mind and confuse you. That’s the end of it. You will be tamed by this golden leash.”
“What, what the heck is this… … .”
“A strong magic that nullifies the divine power you possess. A secret weapon bestowed upon you by our god.”
The moon follower laughed loudly.
Because the white tiger staggered helplessly and began to vomit out black blood.
“You’re holding up well.”
The Moon Follower didn’t do any more damage because he had to use the White Tiger. Instead, he took out more powder similar to the one he had sprinkled earlier from his bosom and held it in his hand.
And the moment I was about to sprinkle it.
Whoosh-!
The follower of the moon turned back. At the same time, he roughly scattered powder on the floor and drew a thin sword from his waist and swung it.
Kyaang-!
Shaaaaah-!
As soon as the swords clashed, a cold air spread around them.
“What kind of guy is this?”
“He’s an animal lover passing by.”
“……zoophilist?”
At Ethan’s words, a vein appeared on the moon follower’s forehead.
