Episode 316. Let’s try
Following the introduction to practical training class and joint training in the main auditorium, Ethan called his students aside to conduct another training session.
It was a personalized training that was a little more intense and tailored to the characteristics of each student.
“How was your training with the special golem? Even without me saying it, I can tell that you guys worked hard judging by your condition. Mason and Ron have improved quite a bit. I think Yuna worked the hardest.”
Yuna smiled happily at those words.
“You really understand, Teacher! Look at these hands. These hands are all injured from drawing magic circles. They kept insisting that there’s nothing that could hurt you other than the mana drain when you create magic circles and use magic. They said that the skin on their palms was torn, and that this was proof of their training.”
When Yuna looked at the two and smiled, the two people were startled and reacted.
“yes!?”
“No, that’s ridiculous.”
Mason and Ron shouted urgently, Ron in particular stammering his words.
“Yuna has a job in addition to her studies, and yet she’s at this level… … .”
“I also worked really hard. If you look here… … .”
“I worked so hard that there were days when I skipped dinner.”
“It’s not that you guys didn’t try hard.”
Ethan looked at the two and smiled faintly.
“Yuna just worked very hard.”
At that moment, Roanna, who had newly joined, raised her hand.
“I didn’t do it!”
“Yeah, because it wasn’t something Roanna needed to do.”
For Roanna, the special golem was unnecessary training.
“I understand that Roanna is very talented, but doesn’t she need practical experience?”
Ethan nodded at Mason’s question.
“Yes, Roanna is a natural. There is no need to learn about practical matters here. Roanna understands these things instinctively.”
It’s truly unreasonable, but there’s nothing I can do about it.
That’s what talent is.
Something that is infinitely unreasonable and unfair.
Talent is something that creates differences that cannot be achieved through effort, because each person is born with different qualities.
“Of course, you have your own talents that Roanna doesn’t have. You don’t have to follow Roanna’s talents; you just have to develop your own.”
There was no need to compare them because each had different talents.
Because the talent you have is not available to your opponent, and the talent your opponent has is not available to you.
“I will elevate your talents to Roanna’s level.”
Ethan planned to maximize their skills this time.
‘I think I’ll have to quit the Academy at the end of this year after I become a Master.’
Since I took him as my disciple, it was polite to take responsibility for him until the end.
“and.”
As Ethan clapped, the door opened and a person came in.
“I don’t participate in the joint training in the main auditorium, but I do participate in individual training.”
Oz Razors came in and said hello.
“I’m not going to ask you to just let things go.”
Oz said. For a moment, Mason and Oz’s eyes met.
“I won’t cause any harm. If you feel that I’m causing any harm to you, just tell me so I can train you separately.”
The voice and the look in his eyes were completely different. The three looked at Oz like that and then immediately turned their gaze to Ethan.
What on earth did you do to make Oz change so much in such a short period of time?
Since the person who had done this was right in front of them, the three of them stared at Ethan with questioning eyes.
Ethan also read the look in her eyes quickly.
“The conversation went well.”
So I smiled and gave a brief explanation.
They wondered if this could be resolved simply by talking things through, but they could sense Oz’s strong will to live differently from before, so the three of them had no choice but to nod.
“thanks.”
Yuna’s eyes shook once more.
I’m so grateful to hear that word of thanks from Oz.
“I can’t adapt.”
“You’ll get used to it quickly. Just think back to Mason in the first semester.”
I remembered Mason’s cocky appearance from the first semester.
Yuna nodded quickly.
“Then, first of all, the three of you, how about we show them how much you’ve done during the vacation? Let’s start with the most basic thing. Sparring. All three of you should attack at the same time.”
“!”
The ones who stood out the most at Ethan’s words were Mason and Ron.
They trained really hard during the vacation. Even with all that high intensity training, they were still behind Yuna. They wanted to make sure that Ethan saw that their skills had improved through this match.
“Oz, and Roanna, watch. You guys are next.”
“……yes.”
“yes!”
Ethan picked up the wooden sword.
On the other hand, Mason drew a real sword, and Yuna immediately drew a magic circle.
“It suits you well, Ron.”
Ron had a knuckle in his hand.
It was a black knuckle, and it looked like it was of quite high quality.
“The adults in my hometown gave me support.”
That is why there was an even greater need to prove it.
“I have to make sure that I get my money’s worth.”
“yes.”
Ethan stomped his foot, signaling the three to move simultaneously.
Training with special golems has been of great help to them.
A stationary enemy.
The approaching enemy.
An enemy that suddenly disappears.
Special golems have demonstrated numerous tactics, and through their movements they have learned how to deal with various situations.
Ethan’s stomping means he’s going to stay put.
In that case, you should take a move that will inflict maximum damage to the still enemy and then quickly incapacitate them.
All three had already practiced tirelessly with the special golem, so they quickly figured out which positions each of them should occupy just by making eye contact.
First of all, it started with Yuna’s magic.
We already know that there is no point in binding Ethan.
That’s why I went in a different direction.
To support Ron and Mason in increasing their destructive power.
Flash!
A tremendous amount of light emanated from Yuna’s magic circle.
Impact Light. It was a magic that emitted a light so intense that it blinded people for a moment.
Ron and Mason, who had figured out Yuna’s intentions through an exchange of glances, kept their eyes closed.
“There’s one thing you overlooked. Great magicians can predict their opponent’s magic even if the magic circle isn’t fully completed.”
Ron and Mason weren’t the only ones who closed their eyes.
Ethan also closed his eyes in time, and Yuna’s Impact Light turned into a blister.
“But it was a good try.”
The operation was a failure, but Yuna’s magic circle was completed quite quickly.
Since the magic circle was drawn in such an irregular way that even a fellow student would never have noticed, it would have been difficult to be certain of the magic until the moment it was completed.
It just failed because the opponent was Ethan.
Soon, Ethan knocked down the weapons of Mason and Ron who were rushing towards him with their wooden swords. The two fell backwards with their postures disrupted.
Ron and Mason, who had been rolling around on the floor, immediately took their positions.
I couldn’t give up just because Plan A fell through.
The original goal of this duel was to land at least one effective hit.
“Good spirit, good determination, and.”
Ethan quickly got into position and saw the two rushing towards him.
From the moment they get hit, adrenaline starts to kick in. The two of them in particular are easily excited.
“Yeah, you learned well.”
But now, the two of them were infinitely cold.
It was an intentional coolness that was created through practice. Ethan was quite satisfied with the growth of the two.
In return, he took a stance with a grin on his face and punched both of them in the face.
“Ugh… … .”
“omg……!”
The two of them collapsed and fainted.
Ethan shouldered the two men as they fell forward.
Then he checked Mason, who was holding his shoulder.
Even at the very end, there was a hint of his intention to hit Ethan.
“I’m satisfied. Quite a bit.”
The duel is over.
Ethan didn’t move an inch from his spot.
Yuna let out a sigh of disappointment, but Ethan was quite satisfied with the speed of the three’s progress.
“oh…….”
“hmm.”
Roanna also confirmed that Ron and Yuna’s skills had improved considerably.
It was my first time seeing Mason, but his movements were also extraordinary.
“Roanna, you don’t really need a duel. I’ll give you this.”
Although she said that practical experience was not necessary, Roanna also needed some experience.
“The name is ns-2. It’s a special golem for situational training against multiple enemies.”
It was a special golem with its safety features completely turned off, and it contained various situations that a wizard might experience.
What Roanna needed now was the experience of dealing skillfully with a variety of situations.
Rather than gaining practical experience, I had to learn how to use and apply the abilities I had.
This golem was optimized to teach that.
“Roanna, your private lessons will be with this golem, so practice with it after school.”
“Yes! Understood, sir!”
Roanna was full of enthusiasm.
I felt like I was officially recognized as Ethan’s disciple after receiving the same special golem.
“And I will take separate magic lessons with Yuna.”
“I’m ready.”
Yuna swallowed dryly. Taking classes with Roanna meant witnessing her talent up close.
A difference in talent so great is bound to break a person’s heart.
You probably planned it out with that in mind.
Yuna looked at Ethan with eyes full of determination.
“And Oz, you saw it for sure, right?”
“yes.”
Oz just saw the sum of three people.
If it were someone else, they would not have been able to see its true value because it ended without them knowing.
But Oz could see clearly.
How much their level has risen.
It’s not all polished yet, but it was definitely thanks to Ethan’s teachings.
“I’ll try my best.”
I can’t say I don’t trust Ethan anymore.
It is also wrong to blame education for the problem.
Now all that remains is your own will.
“I’ll try.”
Oz’s eyes burned brightly.
Yuna looked into Oz’s eyes and remembered the burdensome look she had seen from Mason before.
And then suddenly I let out a sigh.
Perhaps he himself has the same look in his eyes.
“Yuna, Roanna. Wake up Mason and Ron.”
“yes.”
Yuna slapped Mason’s cheek without hesitation. Roanna also observed Yuna’s movements closely and then slapped Ron’s cheek in the same way.
match-!
“omg!”
Ron sat up in surprise and touched his cheek.
Yuna looked at Roanna with surprised eyes at that sight.
He just hit her. But Roanna hit her with magic. That’s why Ron, who was that big, couldn’t help but wake up in surprise.
“Senior, I will learn a lot.”
Roanna smiled brightly and nodded to Yuna.
“Now that you’re up, let’s start the real training. From now on, I’ll be a special golem. I’ll move just like that, so try to block my movements.”
Ethan said with force.
“I will correct any shortcomings.”
