Subscriber of the Gods Episode 101
Episode 101. Yuna Garnet (4)
“How did you find me? No, more importantly, how did you get here?”
Yuna was following Ethan through the Garnet Upper Rond Marquisate.
The Garnet Family had branches in most territories, and the Ronde Marquisate, where the Ibeka Academy was located, was no exception.
“I spent some money. Didn’t I tell you? I have a lot of money. Yuna, as you know, you can do a lot of things with money.”
Of course, in this case I didn’t get my money’s worth.
That’s why Ethan made it clear to his special mercenaries that this matter was not properly resolved.
‘I’m sure you understood that well.’
Now the mercenary guilds will definitely accept Ethan’s next request and do whatever it takes to complete it to his satisfaction.
‘Because you’ll have a professional mindset.’
“I will definitely pay you back, sir.”
“As I said, I have plenty of money. You don’t have to pay me back with money.”
Ethan looked at Yuna.
“then…….”
“You are needed to make the swordsmanship department number one.”
“Are you really serious? Is that why you came to save me?”
At Ethan’s expression that seemed to ask, “Then why did you come to save me?”, Yuna opened her mouth without realizing it and made a stupid expression.
Are you saying that you really came to rescue me because I was needed on your journey to make the swordsmanship department number one?
“You didn’t know everything, did you?”
“I do not know.”
“… … .”
“But I know one thing. Not a single student taking my swordsmanship class should ever drop out. Especially not if it’s not by choice.”
Yuna’s eyes shook at those words. This person was really different. He was more genuine than any teacher I’d ever met, no, more genuine than any other person.
“… … You really needed me.”
“Yes, I have no intention of abandoning any of my students.”
Of course, Ethan was focused on the reputation he would gain by leading 75 people to the end of the semester.
If even one person is missing, the additional reputation points will be lost.
But this was a problem that could not be known without stealing Ethan’s heart, so Yuna naturally melted under those intense eyes.
“I have to go back to the academy first. It’s getting late. I might get a penalty point.”
Ethan and Yuna quickly took the alley to escape the market. If you go this way, there is a shortcut that leads directly to the main entrance of Ibeka Academy.
Just as I was about to exit into the alley, a carriage stopped and blocked the alley.
“!”
It was a carriage without any markings. However, Yuna immediately recognized it by looking at its shape. It was a carriage of the Garnet upper class, a combat carriage used by the upper class to carry out their work quietly.
Inside this battle chariot… … .
Knock knock!
The door opened and five heavily armed knights got out.
“Miss Yuna.”
“long time no see.”
Yuna’s expression hardened.
They are hunting dogs that my father often uses.
He may seem like a rather old-fashioned knight, but he actually worked as a problem solver who would take money and handle anything.
Their job was to handle Cromwell Garnet’s business, whatever it was.
“The Lord wants to see you.”
“Let’s go together.”
Yuna immediately turned around.
“Teacher, we have to run away… … !”
Yuna knew how strong those knights were. Right now, Yuna has no troops available.
First, we had to retreat to the academy and then come up with a new plan.
But Ethan didn’t move from there.
A panicked Yuna shouted.
Now was really the time to run away.
“teacher!”
“There is a shortcut.”
Ethan gestured to where the knights were blocking the way. That was the fastest route to Ibeka Academy.
“There is no need to go back.”
The knights looked at Ethan as if they found that funny.
“I heard that only elite teachers can enter Ibeka Academy.”
“But if I go in there, won’t I just end up being a scoundrel and end up at the bottom of the knights’ order?”
“It’s funny how he seems to know something when he’s among the blood clots.”
The knights were rather familiar with this situation.
It was natural that they would capture Yuna, and their faces seemed to hope that something fun would happen in the process.
But I couldn’t help but be happy when Ethan came out and lived up to my expectations.
Sling-.
“He said that it would be possible to clean up the mess as long as the teacher is not on the list.”
“Claude Hyde, Iris Paqueta, and Siron Ramsdale, no? Surely not! And you’re not even Headmaster Ghostblade.”
“Then that means he’s just a teacher who can handle it.”
Two knights stepped forward.
Because the alley was narrow, the three retreated and completely blocked the exit of the alley.
“I don’t want to get out, what should I do?”
Ethan drew his sword.
The Beast King’s claw sword was pulled out with a slurping sound.
In response, the two knights in front also drew their swords.
A critical situation.
Ethan looked at the knights.
Traditionally, there are certain things you can say to people who block your way.
“road.”
Shaaaaak-!
The Wickus swordsmanship was displayed.
The knight on Ethan’s left stepped forward and blocked Ethan’s sword that was slashing straight at him.
Kyaang-!
“!”
How on earth does such strength come from such a skinny body?
The knight was momentarily pushed back by the force.
But soon he frowned.
“I’m saying you have some strength!”
The knights raised their mana to the max.
Then, as if in revenge for being pushed away just now, he poured a lot of mana into his sword and swung it.
Wheeeeeeeek-!
The Eye of Horus watched the movements of the two knights.
The knight on the left was aiming for Ethan’s arm. It seemed like he had no intention of killing him from the beginning, and was just extending his sword to inflict a wound. The knight next to him had the same intention and was aiming for his leg.
As Ethan struck the left knight’s sword, he turned to the right and blocked the path of the knight on the right.
The alley was extremely narrow, so if two people wanted to attack at the same time, they had to time it precisely.
‘I don’t give it.’
Ethan had no intention of giving up that timing.
The knight who was about to swing his sword suddenly stepped back when his path was blocked. He decided that it would be better to fight one at a time rather than two people fighting in this narrow alley.
“Leave my share.”
“I don’t know if I can leave it.”
The knight looked at Ethan with a grin. Now that he had just the right amount of space without having to worry about his allies, he actually liked it better.
“teacher…….”
Yuna, who was watching from behind, had an anxious expression.
Those knights were focused solely on carrying out orders, no matter the situation.
He did not follow any chivalry and only fought to win, so he took all sorts of unorthodox actions.
Ethan, on the other hand, is a nobleman.
It might be okay in a one-on-one duel, but in a fight like this, I was at a disadvantage.
And the Cromwellian knights knew that fact very well.
But no one knew.
That Ethan has been building his skills to survive and win in various situations.
“Hoooo.”
Ethan took a deep breath and focused his eyes.
Horus’s Eye pierced through the knight’s movements as he stepped forward, his swords scattering irregularly.
What matters now is impact.
‘With one blow.’
I planned to focus all the achievements I had made so far on this one hit.
Ethan has been steadily increasing his stats, increasing his chances of survival.
Stats and traits.
Understanding the Wickes Sword and Heoryu Acupuncture.
Sigh-!
Ethan took a deep breath and swung his sword with all his might. The knight’s sword and Ethan’s sword clashed just as expected.
Ppagagak-!
At that moment, the sound of a sword breaking was heard. Ethan spun around in a circle, taking advantage of the momentum while destroying his opponent’s sword.
As he spun around, he accurately struck the knight’s temple with the hilt of his sword, causing his body to float into the air, spin around, and then crash down onto the ground.
Boom-!
This series of events took place in the blink of an eye.
“uh……!”
Yuna, who was behind her, blinked. She saw Ethan clash his sword with the knight’s sword that was being swung quickly.
But the next moment, the knight was floating in the air, spinning around on the spot, and then completely crashing to the ground.
Even though he was wearing armor and the only place he could attack was his face, I never thought that he would be able to defeat the knight with just one attack.
It seemed like the same thing happened to other articles.
“You can’t beat Urek so easily… …!”
“You’re saying there’s a way!”
Ethan took a step closer to those knights.
There are still four people blocking the road, so I have no choice but to say one more thing.
“road.”
“This fucking kid!”
An excited knight rushed forward. His sword was filled with genuine mana.
Black ink.
Their level was at least 4 stars.
On the other hand, Ethan was unable to properly store mana in his body due to his extinction disorder.
Strictly speaking, it was a 1-star. And it was a 1-star that was difficult to grow into.
But Ethan was able to objectively assess his current situation through his fight with the knight just now.
‘A fight with a four-star knight. It’s a lot more doable than I thought.’
Currently, Ethan was low on mana, but since he had built up so much strength, it wasn’t difficult to deal with him.
I expected it, but I didn’t know it would be this easy.
‘Then let’s see if that holds up if we fight four of them one after another.’
The knight raised his sword high and attacked Ethan straight in front of him.
Ethan’s eyes lit up.
It was such a simple feint that Horus didn’t even need to look at it. He just saw his comrade fall to Ethan’s blow.
They weren’t stupid enough to ignore a fight they had seen with their own eyes.
I had no intention of challenging Ethan to a one-on-one fight because I thought he was stronger than I thought.
‘It just looks that way.’
Catching an opponent’s guard was the most important element in a fight.
‘Trick me with a feint attack, then put your sword down and move behind me.’
To Ethan’s horror, the knight looked as if he was going to bring down his sword, then ducked down and moved towards Ethan’s open side. It looked like he was going to quickly move backwards.
Pfft-!
However, the knight who was trying to quickly dig into the side was hit hard by Ethan’s sword hilt just like the knight before.
“Hey, on purpose.”
It was only then that I realized that I had intentionally left a gap in my side.
Ethan looked down at the falling knight coldly.
I already knew that they would somehow force a breakthrough in order to take advantage of their numerical advantage.
That’s why I opened it up so you could dig in.
‘If it’s experience, I have much more than you.’
