Episode 300. Oz Lasers
Introduction to practical learning.
As the name suggests, it was a class that covered everything related to real-life situations.
‘The pressure of 150 people is really intense.’
It’s not an ordinary 150 students. It’s 150 students who boast outstanding skills within Ibeca Academy. In particular, these are the ones who won the course registration war, so their competitiveness and desire to improve are as clear as their skills.
Satisfying those people was the goal of this class.
-You have achieved the achievement!
-[Instructor] You have earned likes by achieving achievements!
– Got ’10’ likes!
Achievements achieved include: Master Instructor.
‘Because I ended up giving a formal class to 150 people.’
Originally, Ethan had tried to reduce the number of students from the previous class’s 75.
but.
‘I guess it was a good idea to take on the challenge.’
Ethan learned how important connections are.
‘I already knew that connections were important, but it was different when I actually experienced it myself.’
So I was thinking of expanding my network more efficiently. And Ethan happened to have a method that was just right for him.
‘The reason why Legia became someone no one could touch within the palace.’
Because he was a teacher of great people.
‘It’s good that I become a great person, but.’
It was also important to build good relationships with great people.
‘I have an easy way to build deep relationships with great people.’
The relationship between a teacher and a student. Is there anything deeper than the relationship between a teacher and a student?
‘Next to the relationship between parents and children, it’s deeper than the relationship between a teacher and a student. It’s as deep as the relationship between lovers.’
Ethan intended to build a huge and solid network of connections with these 150 people. If properly built, there would be virtually no one in the Holy Empire who could touch Ethan.
Even if it’s a backdoor operation, at least no one will attack you head-on.
‘I can be sure of that.’
“Okay, let me ask you a question. Student, what’s your name?”
“Oz.”
He answered briefly. The other students’ expressions turned fierce at his rather arrogant tone.
Mason in particular was about to get up from his seat at any moment.
There were very few people in this place who didn’t know Oz, so except for the freshmen, they knew very well what kind of students the Oz Razors were.
Meanwhile, Max Jurod was quite nervous.
Despite being labeled a problem child, Oz’s talent was real. Max is currently the top student in his third year, but that was possible because Oz wasn’t there.
Max had never been top of his class before Oz took a leave of absence.
Oz never lost the top spot from his first year of school until he took a leave of absence.
He only lost his position because the bullying of the teachers became a problem that even the principal had to step in, but the top position was always Oz’s.
Max, who took the top spot after Oz’s break, also knew that very well. That’s why he didn’t brag much about being the top student.
It wasn’t taken by skill. It was just something I kept while Oz was away.
A truly overwhelming talent. An overwhelming problem child in contrast. That was Oz Razor.
When Oz raised his hand, all the students made expressions as if they were saying, “Oh, my God!”
Ethan stared at the Oz Lasers with his powers still active.
Oz seen through the Eye of Horus and the Dragon’s Eye was amazing.
‘Your potential is greater than Mason’s. I’ve only heard about it.’
Oz dies.
Originally, Ibeka would have died in a major incident that would have led to her downfall.
‘I heard that when I was playing as the Moon Follower. They said that one student almost ruined things.’
It was the first time Ethan had heard the name Oz. However, he only knew the name, not what kind of student he was.
‘He’s more talented than Mason, but he’s also more of a problem child. It’s a funny situation.’
“What is Introduction to Practical Learning?”
“This is a class that teaches the elements needed for practical use.”
“Are you learning something that will be helpful in real life?”
“Yes.”
“What helps in real combat? What is real combat? Do you train according to real combat?”
Oz started asking questions.
But it didn’t seem like a question asked out of curiosity.
‘What cruel eyes.’
Students who ask questions usually have bright eyes. And at the end of those eyes is curiosity.
But Oz was different.
It was a look that was thoroughly trying to dig into Ethan’s weaknesses.
And at the same time, it was brutal.
Although he seemed to have no great attachment to life, his eyes were actually filled with a stronger desire to live than anyone else’s.
‘It’s a square stone.’
The sharp stone of the Ibeka Academy.
A square peg will always be pulled out.
‘That won’t do.’
A square peg isn’t something that can be solved by just pulling it out.
‘It’s about finding the right land. For that.’
“Come forward, Oz Razor. I’ll give you a quick answer to your question.”
There was a need for proper education.
* * *
When Ethan called him forward, Oz smiled as if he had been waiting for it.
It was always the same pattern.
We will examine the teacher’s temper and observe how he responds and what kind of lessons he will teach.
After that, it was easy. Just demonstrate it better than the teacher and you’re done.
No matter how excellent the teachers were, none of them surpassed Oz’s talents.
Except for one person, Claude Hyde.
Cloudy Hyde never took Oz to class in the first place, so Oz never got to see if his talents were superior to Cloudy’s.
Most of the teachers, except Cloudy who had not seen it in person, were swayed by Oz’s talent, and more than half of them quit.
Just by seeing the teachers recreate what they had built up throughout their lives, they were frustrated, thinking that all the hard work they had put in was meaningless.
“Okay, everyone, let’s watch. Jun Oz Razor will be the representative here and show you how this practical training course will proceed.”
Students who knew Oz were quite anxious.
I know Ethan is a great teacher.
“Mason, shouldn’t you step forward and stop this? Something bad might happen.”
Max, who knows Oz like a bone, said to Mason.
Mason looked at Max curiously.
“why?”
“Why? You have to stop him! Oz, if that guy decides to attack Mr. Ethan… … .”
“That guy is being cheeky. We can just scold him after class.”
“Weren’t you just trying to catch me and beat me up right away?”
Yuna said to Mason, as if she was dumbfounded.
“You guys, as Ethan’s disciples, aren’t you worried about this situation? You know what kind of guy Oz Razor is.”
“I know you well. I also know your brilliant record.”
“But why?”
“Max.”
Yuna said, clicking her tongue.
“If you’re not going to focus in class, why did you sign up?”
“I don’t know what will happen… … .”
Max sat back down.
At the same time, Ethan’s mouth opened.
“Everything you learn is dead knowledge until you actually use it. Especially things like sparring are too easy. It’s not a fight to the death.”
Ethan said.
“Everything is fine inside the academy, but once you step outside, everything changes.”
Ethan said as he looked at the magic and the students.
“First, let’s take magic as an example.”
Oz was inwardly amazed when he saw that sight.
I heard that he was a swordsman and a teacher, but Ethan was very good at drawing magic circles.
“Come at me with all your might. I will fire a fire arrow at you.”
As soon as Ethan finished speaking, Oz kicked his foot.
And at the same time, he laughed bitterly. The fight between the inspector and the magician was literally a street fight.
If you say the first move like that and then start sparring, the inspector will have an overwhelming advantage.
No matter how great a wizard is, there will always be a gap when casting magic.
Oz quickly dug into Ethan and drew the sword from his waist and swung it.
Although the blade was completely dull and no different from a wooden sword, it was undoubtedly a real sword.
It was enough to cause injury.
Wheeeeeeeek-!
But before the sword could even make contact, a powerful force forced Oz back significantly.
“… … ?”
Not only Oz himself, but also the students who were watching had surprised expressions on their faces.
Oz raised his hand and touched his shoulder. It was slightly tanned.
Only then did I realize.
That the Fire Arrow hit him square in the shoulder.
“Students of magic and knighthood, please take note. Basically, the minimum distance that a wizard can gain an advantage over a knight is 7 meters. If the distance is farther than 7 meters, the knight is at a disadvantage and the wizard is at an advantage. Everyone knows these facts. Oz Razor also knew that, so he instantly closed the distance.”
The basic knowledge of the battle between knights and wizards that Ethan spoke of was familiar to everyone taking this class.
This is content that is taught by spoon-feeding from the beginning.
The wizard opens the distance, and the knight closes the distance.
“But this basic information is of little help in actual combat. Everyone already knows this. Just now, the Oz Razor army was closing the distance, but eventually the distance widened. They were hit by my Fire Arrow.”
Ethan smiled faintly.
“Do you know what happened, Oz Razor?”
“… …Can you show me just one more time?”
Oz smiled, showing his teeth.
“Show me.”
Ethan created another fire arrow and blasted it straight at Oz.
Wedge-!
“Is it not enough?”
Ethan fired another Fire Arrow. It wasn’t powerful enough to cause any damage, but it didn’t stop him from being pushed back.
It’s clearly a Fire Arrow, nothing special.
But as Oz was just blankly being hit by the Fire Arrow, the students started muttering while watching him.
“Those Oz Razors are just taking it?”
“If I had just seen it once, I would have read it all and avoided it or paid the same amount.”
“what?”
The swordsmanship students were puzzled, but the magic students immediately realized why Oz couldn’t respond.
“Not all Fire Arrows are the same. The magic formulas are different. Completely.”
“Is that the way to make a Fire Arrow? With that kind of power?”
All three Fire Arrows were deployed in different spells.
Oz’s talent is to perfectly copy what he sees once. Normally, he would have just seen Ethan’s Fire Arrow once and figured it out, and then pressured Ethan.
But Ethan unleashed all three Fire Arrows with different spells.
‘……Nonsense.’
Oz cursed inwardly in horror.
With the same posture and breathing, the same magic was performed in different ways.
It was the same, yet not the same magic.
Even within the academy, mana is restricted, so there are clear limits.
Oz knew this too, and he knew better, because he took advantage of it and toyed with the teachers.
bang-!
Then Ethan stomped his feet.
“Concentrate. Focus on the class.”
With that said, he gave Oz another chance.
“Why do you think you were hit by my Fire Arrow even though I closed the distance in an instant?”
Oz thought for a moment, then clicked his tongue.
“It’s because of that stereotype that knights have to close the distance and magicians have to open the distance.”
Ethan smiled faintly at that answer.
“That’s right. You had the knowledge in your head. Since I said I would use magic, you naturally thought you should close the distance. That’s why you rushed toward me. It was quite natural. I controlled your movements with a single word. If you know where your opponent is going, there is no reason for a magician to be at a disadvantage. Unlike the knowledge you had.”
Ethan turned his head and looked at the students.
“This is the real thing. This is what I am trying to teach in Introduction to Practical Studies.”
The large lecture room became quiet for a moment.
