Episode 92. Perfect Observation Class
“Gasp, gasp.”
“Tsk.”
Claude Hyde’s Parent-Teacher Class.
Cloudy clicked her tongue as she finished the parent observation class.
Many parents applauded Cloudy for that.
It was truly a great lecture.
It was a class that made you realize why Claudia Hyde is Ibeka’s youngest teacher, close to being a master.
“That was great. Oh, I can trust Ibeka with these teachers.”
“It was a little intense, but if you want to go the right way, you have to endure that much.”
The classes were rough and aggressive, but the parents were satisfied.
But there was someone watching the scene with a cold face.
This was the Marquis of Ronde, the lord of the Ronde Marquisate.
After he finished controlling the parents, he went to observe Mr. Claude Hyde’s class with his aide.
The Marquis was granted special privileges by the Academy, allowing him to observe classes even though he was not a parent.
“I guess you don’t like it, Marquis?”
The aide had the same expression on his face as the other parents.
It was a really great lecture. I felt like I could go to a higher level just like Mr. Cloudy said after taking the class.
But for some reason the Marquis didn’t seem to be in a very good mood.
“I was born an elite, lived an elite life, and became an elite teacher. That’s the problem.”
“yes?”
“They only take those who can keep up. If someone can’t keep up with their class, they don’t help them catch up, they just abandon them. They only take those who can keep up.”
The Marquis of Ronde clicked his tongue.
“I think the ancestors would be angry if they saw this. The best and most outstanding teacher at the current Ibeka Academy is acting against the founding principles of Ibeka and making it mainstream.”
“… … .”
Certainly, Cloudy was a teacher with an aggressive disposition.
But even so, the teaching ability was considerable.
“Isn’t that how it was, Your Majesty?”
“… … .”
The Marquis stared at his aide and shook his head.
“I wasted my time. I was still conflicted last year. I thought Mr. Cloudy would go that way.”
The Marquis stood up from his seat.
As soon as I came out of the classroom, I heard a loud noise.
“hmm?”
“This is it, Marquis. Our new teacher, Mr. Ethan Wickers, is currently teaching.”
“Oh, the class is in the classroom right next to Mr. Cloudy’s.”
The Marquis, whose interest was piqued, quietly entered the lecture room through the back door.
There was a student standing there, looking at the center with eyes that seemed to be sucked in. The Marquis and his aide moved slightly to the side to avoid her.
And then, with a “bang!” sound, I started watching Ethan’s class in earnest.
“Oh, this is Dalian.”
“… … .”
The Marquis, who had been watching, opened his eyes wide.
“Heh heh heh.”
Then he smiled faintly. Suddenly, the Marquis smiled and the aide looked at him.
“That’s exactly what I thought Mr. Cloudy would have reached this year.”
“yes?”
“Students are flowers, and teachers are the bottles that hold the flowers. The bottles should not stand out more than the flowers. Look at that couplet. Who is standing out there?”
At the Marquis’s words, the aide looked closely at the couplet.
“ah…….”
And immediately I realized what he meant.
The only thing that stood out in this duel was the swordsmanship of each student. The teacher who taught the swordsmanship, Ethan Wickers, was nowhere to be seen.
“The closest thing to a master in the Ibeka swordsmanship department right now is not Mr. Cloudy, but that new teacher.”
The Marquis of Rond looked at Ethan with intense eyes.
People who had been watching the sparring without realizing how much time had passed saw the student who appeared as the final sparring partner.
He was a student who stood without any presence among the students.
But as it came forward, its presence began to spread.
The youngest son of a duke who was born a predator and grew up without knowing failure.
But now, Mason Yellowd had lost all hope and was reduced to a slacker.
Ethan intentionally placed Mason last.
Mason, unlike the other students, did not move immediately even though he came forward.
Rather slowly.
He moved so clearly that each and every step stood out.
In front of him was Ethan, covered in sweat.
He smiled at Mason like that.
‘With this, we can break down Mason’s wall.’
Makes you follow yourself perfectly.
With this sparring, Mason will break down all the walls that have been holding him back so far.
Mason, who broke down the wall, quickly becomes stronger.
‘Now is the time to put that spoon in.’
Mason moved with lightning speed, swinging his wooden sword.
He also saw the previous sparring, but at some point, it stopped coming into his eyes.
I couldn’t even hear any sounds around me.
It just felt so quiet.
In the midst of countless despairs, I gave up everything because I couldn’t overcome things alone.
But I didn’t want to live like this.
Still, Mason couldn’t shake off this situation.
Failure was really catching up with him.
I felt like I was sinking deeper and deeper into the swamp. But then someone reached out a hand.
Ethan Wickes.
The person who reached out to him again, even though Cloudy Hyde had given up on him.
Mason recalled old memories.
That time when everyone had high expectations for him.
Before my father’s eyes were filled with disappointment.
I thought I had forgotten everything, but I wasn’t.
He was always someone who had expectations.
He was the person everyone needed.
Then, you just have to live up to those expectations.
“Whew.”
With heavy breathing, a fierce yellow swordsmanship was unleashed. Ethan also swung his sword like a wild beast in response.
A duel unfolded that was as if teeth were being torn apart.
Mason displayed a level of swordsmanship that was incomparable to that of the other students he had trained with before.
His swordsmanship was so excellent that it was understandable why he was chosen to be the last one in the sparring.
“Huh, you said Mason was completely ruined, but that’s not the case?”
“Did the Duke groan?”
From what I’ve heard from my children and people around me, I’ve heard that Mason Yellowd has already been pushed out of the fight to select a successor.
Unlike when he had shown talent and made great strides since he was young, he says he encountered a huge wall and collapsed.
But now, Mason was displaying his swordsmanship so well that it would be hard to describe his appearance as ruined.
At the sight of a completely different appearance than before, the Duke of Yellowd stood up from his seat without realizing it.
“Did that new teacher make the youngest like that?”
Today, Duke Yellowd was planning to exclude his youngest son from the race for succession. He didn’t want the family to be in trouble due to unnecessary instigation.
But now, I have completely erased that thought.
“You broke the wall.”
“How on earth… … .”
“It wasn’t like this until recently.”
The two brothers looked dumbfounded at the Duke’s reaction.
Boom-!
Mason stepped back as the loudest noise he had ever heard was heard.
“Ugh, ugh.”
I poured everything out in this short moment, to the point where my hand holding the wooden sword went limp. I was so tired that I thought I could just collapse and go to sleep.
But Mason slowly gathered his legs and stood facing Ethan.
“thank you.”
Mason bowed politely.
It was my first time entering the academy.
It’s like bowing and saying thank you.
“Good job.”
Ethan said blandly.
* * *
When class ended, there was no sound except for the students’ heavy breathing.
Everyone was speechless at the incredible lecture they had just witnessed.
At that moment, applause was heard from the center of the parents’ section.
It was the Duke of Yellowd.
As he clapped his hands (clap, clap, clap), other parents, teachers, and students began to clap as well.
Clap clap clap clap-!
As the thunderous applause continued, Ethan slowly stepped back and looked at his students.
The sweaty students looked exhausted as they gave it their all during the short sparring session each was given.
But everyone seemed relieved.
They bowed slightly and greeted the parents with slightly embarrassed expressions.
The eyes of the parents looking at such students were very warm.
Ethan, who had been taking a few deep breaths to regain his strength, was looking at the countless notification windows that were popping up.
-We had a perfect observation class!
– The observation class was completed with the highest grade.
-Your reputation will increase dramatically!
-You have achieved the achievement!
-[Cho Man-seok] Likes were earned by achieving achievements.
– Got ’10’ likes!
– [Continuous Duel] Likes were earned by achieving the achievement.
– Got ‘7’ likes.
-You have cleared the hidden quest.
-You have received the quest clear reward!
-Perfect Clear! Additional rewards will be awarded!
Achieve consecutive achievements.
Quest clear.
And the rewards for the perfect observation class poured in.
I got 17 likes and extra rewards in just one class, and my fame increased the most since I came to the Academy.
“Hoooo.”
Ethan wiped the sweat off his face and quickly checked the additional rewards.
‘I don’t know what it is, but I think I cleared the quest as soon as I received it in this class.’
The notification window said that the hidden quest had been cleared.
Plus, since it’s a perfect clear, you’ll be able to receive enhanced rewards.
-Please select a quest clear reward!
[Desired Stat +3], [Snake Tail Shield (S)], [Rune of Mana Enhancement], [Rune of Swaying Flame]
These were pretty decent rewards.
They each have distinct advantages, so much so that it’s hard to choose just one.
Especially in the case of runes, they were items that gained characteristics immediately upon use.
‘Something you can use now, and something for the future.’
Ethan didn’t have the luxury of thinking about the future any further ahead.
-You have selected a reward.
-You can increase any stat you want by ‘3’!
Ethan didn’t hesitate and added one more stamina stat.
In this match, and in the future, physical strength was the most important factor. Ethan, who was getting weaker, needed an excessive amount of physical strength.
After receiving the compensation, Ethan sighed for the first time.
‘Still, it was worth the effort.’
Ethan smiled happily as he checked his reward. Then he immediately started spitting.
Phew phew-.
He created a needle that he could inject into various parts of his body to help him recover quickly.
-Healing a body that has reached its limit.
-Your proficiency in false acupuncture increases!
This marked the end of the observation class itself, but the day was not over. There was still work to be done later.
‘Now it’s time for the planned performance to begin.’
Ethan had already given orders to Martins Lane.
While Ethan took a moment to recover, the students went to their parents.
Most of them had proud faces.
The students themselves felt it too.
What I showed in this lesson wasn’t perfect, but I think I definitely showed off my sword skills.
“Now you know that swordsmanship isn’t just a hobby, right, Dad?”
While some students smiled and bragged about seeing it, others asked with embarrassed faces if it was okay.
“Good job. I thought you were just playing around, but you weren’t?”
“I told you I would work hard.”
“I clearly said that I was working hard!”
Ethan smiled faintly at them. After the parents and students had exchanged many stories.
The parents slowly came down and approached Ethan.
“It was a great class, Mr. Ethan.”
“Please take good care of our child.”
“I feel like I can trust you with my child.”
“You’re a new teacher, but you’re so great. Ibeka is definitely different!”
Lee greets Ethan by shaking his hand.
A person who talks about class while slightly bowing his head.
The nobles seemed completely satisfied with Ethan’s abilities and gave him rave reviews.
“Let’s have a meal together later. I’d really like to invite you.”
“If you ever think about leaving your job as an academy teacher, please contact me.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Ethan smiled back at those parents. This was the first step towards becoming a master.
‘These nobles will act as guarantors and pave the way for me to quickly become a master.’
Ethan nodded at the suggestion to greet the nobles and have a meal later, then turned to look at the students.
“Good job.”
This time, I left the classroom with a brief compliment. From now on, I had to move more busily.
“Are we getting compliments now?”
“Hey, this… … .”
Even though everyone was extremely tired, everyone had good expressions on their faces.
I never knew such a simple compliment could make me feel this good.
