Subscriber of the Gods Episode 205
Episode 205. This year
Wedge-!
Han Myeong-ryeon started swinging her sword at Cheok Jun-gyeong.
How to fight well.
Ethan momentarily doubted his ears when he heard those words.
The idea of how to fight well was a very foreign expression in the new world where one could access the techniques of numerous gods.
Ethan has been in countless battles so far, so he is a person who is skilled in all kinds of fighting.
I have fought in bamboo forests so thick that it was difficult to swing my sword. I have fought underwater. I have experienced battles on ships, and even melee combat in the middle of a battlefield.
That’s why I was confident in my ability to judge my opponent’s skills.
In Ethan’s view, among those who thought they were good at fighting, there weren’t many who actually fought well.
But it wasn’t Han Myeong-ryeon.
He fought really well.
‘Wow. Chuck Jun-kyung is being pushed back at every moment.’
Even though it was a duel, it was definitely a great thing to gain an advantage over that jerk, even if only for a moment.
‘There are some subtle differences, but there are definitely similar aspects.’
Fundamentally, they were of the same type. Han Myeong-ryeon’s swordsmanship also felt like it was based on his innately strong bones and poured out great strength.
‘You’re crazy.’
When I saw Cheok Jun-gyeong’s physical abilities, I was surprised, but Han Myeong-ryeon also had a body that was just as strong.
One difference between Han Myeong-ryeon’s swordsmanship and Cheok Jun-gyeong’s was that it was very rough and crude.
He said he was a natural, which seemed to be a trait that arose from never having learned anything properly.
‘But that actually increases the destructive power.’
Currently, Ethan’s swordsmanship has reached a certain level of perfection. However, it lacks the rough and wild nature of Han Myeong-ryeon, who is swinging his sword in the video.
‘I need that kind of wildness in my swordsmanship right now.’
-All of my swordsmanship comes from this strong body. This body is something I was born with, but it is also thanks to a special power I learned when I was young. I plan to show you what that special power is in this new world.
Han Myeong-ryeon suddenly put strength into his hand and began swinging his sword even more powerfully. He looked like a wild beast.
Ethan watched Han Myeong-ryeon’s every move with his eyes.
Compared to Cheok Jun-gyeong’s swordsmanship, it seemed quite rough and unstable, but its instantaneous destructive power was so great that it could be compared to Cheok Jun-gyeong’s swordsmanship.
-I have always been the first in the battlefield. I have gone out in the morning and won in the evening. All of this was possible thanks to the special power I have cultivated since I was young. I will teach you everything about that special power right here, right now.
Han Myeong-ryeon took a deep breath.
-This is the power that the immortal taught me. The power to gather and strengthen the physical strength. This is the source of my power, Han Myeong-ryeon’s physical renewal!
The special power that Han Myeong-ryeon spoke of was a technique similar to the mana training method of this world.
-I learned physical renewal.
– Added skill: Body Renewal (S)
‘Hmm.’
Ethan continued to watch Han Myeong-ryeon’s rough swordsmanship.
His huge greatsword, which he wields with a focus on physical renewal, has the power to crush everything in front of him with each swing.
-I learned swordsmanship for a while.
-Added skill: Hanka Swordsmanship (S)
Then, Ethan learned Han Myeong-ryeon’s swordsmanship. However, Ethan’s expression was not very good.
‘I don’t think this will have much effect.’
Ethan has Extinction, which affects not only his mana build-up but also his physical growth.
Because of this, even though he had the Immortal Hero’s Breath, a skill of the same type as this physical renewal, Ethan’s body had not become very strong.
Of course, he looked very healthy considering he was suffering from extinction disease, but he was infinitely weak compared to other strong people.
‘But that was before awakening.’
Ethan’s current body was greatly strengthened compared to before through awakening.
‘In addition, the amount of mana you can receive from Lucas has also increased. The power of swordsmanship performed using that mana has also greatly increased.’
That wasn’t all. Even though I was using brulee in Eucalyptus’s class right away, I felt a different sense of incongruity than before.
It was a thrill of mana that I had never felt before.
‘I wonder if I can make my physical condition a little better.’
However, it is difficult to simply renew the body.
‘If used with the breath of the immortal hero.’
“It’s better than not trying.”
Now that your body is able to store more mana than before, it might be worth trying to strengthen it further.
After Han Myeong-ryeon’s video ended, Ethan left a comment.
-It’s flawless. I’ll make a short video for you.
The merger of Chuck Jun-kyung and Han Myeong-ryeon. The video was great.
If we could bring in traffic here with a proper shorts video, there is a possibility that Chuck Jun-kyung’s ranking would go up one level.
‘When that time comes, the big shots of the new world will move, just like Chuck Jun-kyung said.’
Ethan didn’t think he was shaking up this new world.
‘It’s important to evaluate yourself objectively. Your opponents are gods of the new world.’
You should not be swayed by the sweet talk of those around you. If you become arrogant and think that you are doing something great, the power that has been working for you up until now can turn into poison.
‘This is a weapon that I must wield. It is not something I should be the one to wield.’
Ethan was grateful for Chuck Jun-kyung’s high praise, but he was wary of becoming complacent.
“I guess I should search for what I originally wanted to search for.”
Although he learned Han Myeong-ryeon’s new skills through an unexpected encounter, there was another reason why Ethan opened up the new world.
Ethan immediately searched for keywords.
-[Insight] You have entered a keyword.
-The algorithm is looking for a god that suits you… … .
-The search is complete.
The god that appeared in the search results was a god that Ethan also knew very well.
[Warryong][Difficulty: High]
“If you say Waryong, there is only one person.”
There was only one Waryong that Ethan knew.
“Zhuge Liang.”
Zhuge Liang.
He was the superhuman and last spark of the Shu kingdom.

This year’s new teacher training was led by Ramsdale’s branch along with the subordinates of the Black Sword.
“At first, I really didn’t understand.”
Bartra Ramsdale was Shiron’s cousin. Five years older than Shiron, he had been training with Shiron since childhood.
That’s why I knew very well how talented and strong Shiron was.
“It is said that Shiron inherited his master’s talent. He had no rivals in swordsmanship since he was young.”
Although Bartra was five years older than Shiron, he had never defeated Shiron with a sword.
Likewise, all the other cousins were destroyed by Siron.
It was quite famous in the family that one of Shiron’s cousins, who was eight years old, lost to Shiron, who was thirteen years old.
When Siron came to Ibeka as a teacher, all of his cousins thought that he would become the top student and the best in Ibeka Academy within three years.
But things were strange from the very first button.
The top position went to a new teacher I had never heard of, and Geomseong, who had gone to protest, also returned very quietly.
And today.
Siron Remsdale, who had finally returned to the territory, poured out many stories to his cousins whom he had not seen in a long time.
The thing he spoke most forcefully about was Ethan Wickers sitting over there.
A nobleman of a local fief who usurped the position of chief poet.
‘He gave me great praise.’
He praised me so much that I was speechless. He clearly stole my spot and they were practically rivals.
But Shiron didn’t look defeated at all.
Rather, he felt proud talking about Ethan.
‘I guess I was impressed.’
As I listened, I became more curious. What kind of person was Ethan Wickers that he could have so captivated Shiron?
“It was worth it… … .”
That’s why he watched the first class, Eucalyptus’s class.
Of course, I couldn’t go inside, so I watched Ethan from outside.
And I saw it all.
Ethan wields numerous weapons with mastery levels.
And the way he acted calmly as if nothing had happened despite having done such a huge job.
Everyone was predicting that Freya Academy, with Kai Felix at its helm, would win.
But Bart’s thoughts changed after seeing the true nature of Ethan Wickers with his own eyes.
“According to what the poem says, even with such skills, you’re not complacent and are aiming for higher positions? The poem said that you’re not simply looking at the competition in front of you, but beyond that.”
A new teacher with that level of skill, character, and ambition.
“I’ll have to ask you later if you can teach me how to use a whip.”
It was intended for hunting. I had no intention of using it for anything else.

The Black Knight’s Room.
After finishing the first day of class, Eucalyptus was sitting across from Geomseong, drinking tea.
“So, how was it?”
“The Shiron Army was much rougher than the swordsman had said.”
“It’s only natural that the tone of the poem has become rough. There’s a huge competitor right next to you. In order to grow, you have to be bold, and in order to do that, you have to let go of the things that were refined inside you.”
Geumseong nodded as he said so. If anything, it would have been more problematic if the poem had not become rough.
“It seems like you already know everything about Siron. Are you curious about anything else?”
Eucalyptus smiled brightly.
As he said, Geomseong was curious about something else.
“You must be wondering what Ethan Wickers was like?”
“That’s right. I first saw him when I visited Ibeka Academy the other day. He looked much better then, but he looked even better this time.”
Eucalyptus answered with certainty.
“He doesn’t look like a new teacher at all. Among the new teachers we have this year, there is no one as talented as Ethan Wickers.”
“Is that so? Isn’t there Kai Felix too?”
“You mean Kai Felix?”
Eucalyptus sighed, “Hmm.”
“His talent is certain, but it seems that his psychological problems are the biggest problem. If you see him, even you, Your Majesty, you will know right away.”
“It’s not as good as I thought.”
“But if that psychological problem is solved, then, I don’t know, all the talents that have been suppressed until now will explode all at once. If that happens… … .”
Eucalyptus smiled brightly.
“There will be another Master from Freya Academy. The Felix family will also be able to rise to a higher position within the Twelve Stars.”
“Hmm.”
“But as you know, these two are not all. Not all new teachers come for training.”
“That’s right. And since they’re all new, you know. Even if they show great talent when they’re new, their growth can slow down as they gain more experience. On the contrary, there are also cases where teachers who weren’t noticed before suddenly rise to the top.”
Eucalyptus then went on to evaluate other teachers. It was amazing how much he had observed and understood all the teachers during the long and short lessons.
After hearing the whole story, Geomseong gestured for me to go out.
As Eucalyptus got up from his seat, Geomseong asked as if he had suddenly remembered something.
“Well then, Mr. Eucalyptus.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“Which academy do you think will win this academy exchange?”
Eucalyptus pondered the question for a moment. It was an answer that had to be given to not only new teachers but also existing teachers.
“The odds are still in favor of Freya Academy. Freya Academy has been winning consistently for the past few years, and now it’s no longer in a position to be compared to other academies.”
There are many famous teachers at Freya Academy. They are teachers you would recognize just by hearing their names.
“But I think Ibeka Academy will win. And I think Ibeka will continue to win.”
“Why?”
“There has never been an Ethan in Ibeka until now.”
Eucalyptus said.
“This year, there is, Ibekah. Ethan.”
