Subscriber of the Gods Episode 102
Episode 102. Before the midterm exam.
Ethan stepped forward, stepping on the unconscious knight. There were now three left. It was three against one, but the knights could not gain the upper hand in numbers as long as they continued to fight in this narrow alley.
However, it was a situation where I couldn’t run away.
Five knights fall to one man?
This is something that pride cannot allow.
It wasn’t a case of being defeated by a worn-out special mercenary, nor was it a case of being defeated by a fellow knight.
It was unacceptable to lose to a teacher from a single academy.
Above all, this was something that Garnet’s superiors had instructed him to pay special attention to. He had instructed him to bring Yuna Garnet very politely.
If you couldn’t keep it, it was virtually like you had no life.
One knight stepped forward.
I just saw you deal with the two knights. It looks like they have no intention of killing you.
But this is different.
I was given the order that I could kill him.
If you rush in with the intention of killing, it is certain that even the teachers at Ibeka Academy will not be able to make a proper judgment.
Kwaaak-!
The knight charged, stomping hard on the ground. Unlike the knights before, it was a blow that completely gave up defense and focused solely on offense.
It was a brilliant move that the knight had in mind.
This attack is unstoppable. To stop it, you have to give up your defense and attack the knight who is rushing in with his body exposed, but a half-assed attack will never stop a heavily armored knight.
With the determination to kill.
You had to be prepared to inflict great harm to overcome it.
‘But you can’t do that!’
The knight swung his sword down. At the same time, he looked at Ethan, who seemed bewildered and didn’t move, and thought he had won.
“Yeah, that’s how it should be.”
Ethan chuckled for a moment.
The knight noticed the laughter.
no way.
So this whole thing was a trap?
He had previously dealt with two people and appealed that he had no intention of killing them.
And that appeal led to this side’s strategy. And it forced the movement as it is now.
I was completely defeated in psychological warfare.
And the price was dear.
Kkwaduk-!
Ethan’s sword cut through the knight’s armor. Blood gushed out from the knight, who was cut diagonally from his shoulder to his side.
“Don’t worry. I’m a teacher at the Academy. I only swing my sword to protect my students. I don’t kill. Like you think.”
Ethan aimed his sword at the remaining two.
“I won’t die.”
In an instant, three knights were killed. It was less than a minute. If they had fought loudly, the sound would have spread around and bystanders would have come out.
There was no sign of that at all.
“… … .”
The two knights looked at each other. There was nothing they could do. It was better to retreat for the time being than to rush in like a moth to a flame and be defeated.
Bam-!
In an instant, the knights ran away in opposite directions.
But that was already in Ethan’s expectations. The fight against these five was in Ethan’s hands from the moment he first laid eyes on them.
“Yuna.”
Yuna, who had come up behind Ethan, struck the back of the knight’s head as he tried to run away. Ethan struck the head of the knight who was trying to run away in the opposite direction.
Bam-!
“Hoo… … Hoo!”
Yuna, who had received Ethan’s signal and swung her sword at full speed with all her might, was breathing heavily.
“Did you know from the beginning that this fight would turn out like this?”
At those words, Ethan simply smiled faintly. Then he led the fallen knights into the alley.
I thought he was going to hide it, but Ethan was lightly destroying the knights’ armor and then taking them off one by one.
“teacher?”
Ethan grabbed the knight’s wrist.
-Take the pulse.
-The opponent’s status flows in through mana.
-I suffered a fracture.
Originally, it was a symptom that could not be cured with acupuncture. However, with advanced acupuncture techniques, Heoryu was able to alleviate various symptoms.
Thud thud thud-.
Ethan stuck needles here and there. Then the knight, who had been unconscious, woke up.
– False acupuncture 1 / 1000
“My body is full of strength…!”
The confused knight looked at Ethan. Ethan, holding a sword, was reflected in his shaking eyes.
* * *
Ethan took her pulse there for about 15 minutes.
By repeatedly touching the pulse, treating, and knocking down the patient, Ethan was able to use the false acupuncture a whopping fifteen times.
The five knights were completely unconscious and were not even able to come to their senses.
Ethan gathered all the articles he had written into one place like a bundle and placed their swords in front of him like tokens.
“… … .”
Yuna didn’t know exactly what Ethan was doing, but she could feel one thing strongly.
Those knights, this moment will be a trauma and they will probably suffer for the rest of their lives.
I never imagined that there would be a way to finish someone off so completely without killing them.
Ethan, who had sorted out the situation, looked at Yuna.
“Let’s go. Take the shortcut.”
“yes!”
Have you ever felt so safe on someone’s back?
Yuna followed Ethan’s back to the academy.
* * *
Yuna wasn’t the type to be taken advantage of.
“I’ll go and clean up after myself. Don’t worry. I’ll make sure to take care of it this time.”
My mind was shaken by complex emotions and various shocking events. That’s why I ended up like this.
But she is originally cool and calm.
And I wasn’t the type of person to just be helplessly taken advantage of like this.
If you have been wronged, you should repay it tenfold.
“Because it only takes a week.”
“I think you’ll be able to come back before the midterms?”
“Yes, of course. I’ll be back right on time.”
Yuna said.
“Because the teacher said he needed me.”
“Then I’ll give you some homework. Make sure you do it properly while you’re out.”
Yuna answered with a very soft expression. Then she immediately turned around.
“Yes, teacher. I’ll be back.”
She had a scary expression on her face, making her gentle expression from before pale in comparison.
Garnet’s atrocities.
It was not because they were of the same blood that they tolerated the atrocities of Garnet, her adoptive mothers, and her brothers.
‘I was just taking the time to think about it.’
The strength had already been built up for a long time.
The reason I entered the academy was to find someone I could trust, just like the first reason, but at the same time, it was also a smokescreen to make it look like I was stepping back from the front lines.
This was because while she was on the front lines, Garnet’s upper class was so controlling of Yuna that she couldn’t grow properly.
Because of that, she withdrew from the front lines to attend the academy, and since then, Yuna has been able to escape Cromwell’s gaze.
After that, the influence from above gradually increased under the water.
In addition, by spreading bait, the influence and stakes that Garnet’s top shareholders had were gradually blurred.
‘These are simple methods. Because you have a great eye for business.’
The garnet top had a certain look in her eyes.
That’s why he can quickly identify businesses that could make money and even calculate the profit and loss in his head.
She set traps for it and caused the upper-class business to fail.
In any case, countless businesses would fail, and if one of them succeeded, the failures that had occurred up until then would be offset.
‘But what if failures keep happening?’
In addition, if Yuna were to blow up the business she had been saving at the same time, her influence at the top would inevitably be shaken.
While Yuna was attending the academy, she was swallowing the top of Garnet under the water.
There were five executives in the current Garnet top, who were mid-level top leaders who had been of great help when Garnet top swallowed Horay top.
Strictly speaking, the Garnet Top was no different from having six masters.
Now, the Cromwell Garnet upper house is holding on tight, so he can’t act as a proper owner.
Since they both want to be the leaders, they have no choice but to clash fiercely within the top to become competitive with each other.
Yuna even took advantage of that greed. There were currently three executives who had decided to work with Yuna.
Cromwell Garnet was not using his daughter Yuna properly because he was keeping her in check, but the other executives, unlike Cromwell’s superiors, wanted to use Yuna properly as a merchant.
Yuna agreed with the opinions of such executives and was about to gather them together and raise the anti-Cromwell flag.
‘There is no need to hesitate anymore.’
Yuna, who was leaving, glanced back at Ethan. Ethan was moving in the other direction without hesitation, as if he thought Yuna would return.
Yuna said while looking at Ethan’s back.
“I’ll be right back.”
Then he smiled slightly.
At the same time, Ethan heard a notification sound.
-Your chances of survival increase!
Following Mason, he has also made Yuna his student. Now, it is unlikely that the trust between these two will fall.
And with the conflicts and walls that had existed broken down, all that was left was explosive growth.
‘Now the preparations are complete.’
We will reorganize the Academy’s board around these three.

“The midterm exams are approaching, and once they are over, we plan to hold the departmental exchange event as scheduled.”
Academy conference room.
The teachers focused on the principal’s words. The department exchange fair, which can be seen as the end of the semester, was an event as important as the parent-visited classes.
The department that wins the department exchange competition becomes the representative and qualifies to participate in the academy exchange competition.
Therefore, this department exchange event could be seen as a place to select a representative for the academy.
“We will sort them by grades, and the swordsmanship department will represent the knighthood, and the magic department will represent the magic department. The rules are the same as last year. If there are any students who deserve special recommendations, even if they don’t have good grades, please recommend them and have them participate.”
There was a moment of silence at the principal’s words. The new teachers glanced around, while the more experienced teachers simply watched the situation unfold.
Needless to say, not a single new teacher raised their hand.
That is to be expected, as the department exchange event is a place to select academy representatives.
Any slight misstep would lower the status of the Academy.
It was a position with a lot of responsibility, where one would not only hear a lot of complaints, but also hear complaints from parents and even receive the principal’s glare.
Your well-built career can crumble in an instant.
That’s why there were only two people who raised their hands. It was the same as last year.
“Mr. Cloudy Hyde.”
The principal called Cloudy, who raised her hand.
And then he pointed to the only man in the magic department who raised his hand.
Tall, with saturated blonde hair and glasses over his cross-eyed face.
“Duty von Niedern Professor.”
“Hahaha, I guess it’s just the two of us this time too. After all, being the representative of the department isn’t an easy task.”
Mr. Duty smiled gently.
Although he appeared to be gentle and kind, his nickname within the academy was Whip Duty.
The reason was simple: in his classes there were only sticks, no carrots.
He whips students like crazy, but some of them get very enthusiastic because they lose their laxity when they get hit by the whip.
“I guess there’s no one else. Then, as the representative for this department exchange, Mr. Cloudy from the swordsmanship department… … .”
Before the principal finished speaking, someone raised their hand.
There was clearly no one who would raise their hand. The teachers’ eyes turned to the teacher who raised his hand.
“huh?”
“Teacher Ethan?”
Ethan raised his hand in a flash.
“I also plan to attend the Daejeon event for this departmental exchange, Principal.”
The principal’s eyebrows twitched.
