Subscriber of the Gods Episode 103
Episode 103. In my eyes, it’s just
I had a thought. He had been doing unprecedented things since he came in as a new teacher, so I thought he might try the department exchange program as well.
But I put that thought aside as I came into the meeting today.
It was obvious. How significant is the significance of this departmental exchange?
So far, I haven’t found a single new teacher who has tried to challenge this departmental exchange.
No matter how motivated you are, no one wants to ruin their career as soon as they join the company.
That’s why I thought that even though Ethan had been taking unconventional steps up until now, he would hold off this year and try again next year.
But the principal’s thoughts were shattered.
“Professor Ethan, you must know what the inter-departmental exchange means, right?”
“Yes, I know very well, Principal.”
“Still, will you try?”
“yes.”
Several teachers were murmuring as they looked at Ethan with different eyes.
“Professor Ethan has done well so far, but isn’t it too early for him to jump into the role of the department exchange representative?”
“Going out as a representative for the departmental exchange event means that you will become the representative of the academy. But wouldn’t it be too light for a new teacher who just joined?”
“But the results that Mr. Ethan has achieved so far are not something you can say about a newbie, right?”
“Still, experience is important. No matter how great Mr. Ethan is, the experience that comes from experience cannot be ignored.”
“But if you have the ability!”
The teachers each voiced their opinions.
Especially, teachers from the Blue Jeans or Saemulgeol fellowships, who belong to the same fellowship as Ethan, took Ethan’s side firmly, saying that even though he lacked experience, his achievements were excellent.
Then the principal banged the desk twice.
“Be quiet.”
The teachers looked at the principal’s stern expression.
Perhaps the principal also thought it was too early.
However, this wasn’t a problem that could be continued with just momentum.
“I’d like to hear a little bit about your story, Mr. Ethan. The parent-teacher conference is over, but you’ve only seen your students for a semester. So who do you plan on appointing as their representative?”
Everyone nodded to the principal’s words.
Ethan’s skills are certainly excellent. However, the departmental exchange was a place to select student representatives, not teacher representatives.
The teacher simply directs and leads the students in the process.
The departmental exchange and academy exchange ultimately had to be centered around students.
“I already know that you are very talented. However, this departmental exchange event is not an event that you can participate in just because you are very talented. As you know, the students are the main characters of the academy. The departmental exchange event is an event centered around those students.”
“I know very well. That’s why I have been guiding students since the beginning of the semester and have been looking at students who have the potential to become representatives of the department.”
Ethan said.
“Then let me ask you. Who are your students?”
Mr. Cloudy and Mr. Duty’s students were known to all the teachers here.
Two elite swordsmen, including the swordsmanship master Max Jurod, who can be called the favorite disciple of Mr. Cloudy.
The Duty Master had a golden generation of magicians, including his chief magician, Roanna.
Since the rivals were strong students, the teachers paid attention to Ethan’s mouth. Who would be the representative student to go to the departmental exchange?
“Could it be Chen Garcia… … ?”
“Teacher, I don’t think that’s right.”
Ethan opened his mouth as everyone looked at him with anticipation.
“Mason Yellow, Ron Beard, and Yuna Garnett are the students I chose to represent this year’s departmental exchange.”
“… …Mason?”
“Lone Bears? That swordsmanship and last place?”
“Everyone except Yuna has problems… … .”
“Shh, be quiet.”
As one teacher said, there were definitely problem students, except for Yuna Garnet. Duty’s lips curled up slightly as he heard the list of students Ethan had mentioned.
Cloudy was glaring at Ethan, as if she was feeling uneasy.
I remembered what the dead Martins had said.
The words that Ethan was trying to lead Mason, whom he had excluded.
You’re trying to make Mason the class president, aren’t you?
“Mason Yellow is a problem child, Mr. Ethan.”
Cloudy said, looking at Ethan.
“Is that so? To me, you just looked like a young student who couldn’t figure out what to do.”
Ethan’s words had some substance. Students are immature, and teachers are there to guide such students.
Of course, it was idealism.
But since the target was Mason, Cloudy couldn’t help but frown.
He had an experience of reaching out to Mason and then being rejected.
That was because Ethan’s words sounded like he was reproaching himself for that.
The teachers, who had a rough idea of the circumstances, opened their mouths in sighs.
“Uh uh uh… … .”
“hmm…….”
The teachers of the swordsmanship department cleared their throats or made noises in confusion. Of course, the magic department looked very interested.
On the magic faculty side, Duty, a magic teacher, steps forward alone.
Duty’s ability was beyond doubt, and the other teachers firmly pushed in his direction because they had faith in the golden generation he had selected and raised.
First of all, what is important is not competition between departments, but to continue to maintain first place by beating out the Department of Journalism.
“There are already so many troubles.”
“From our side, it’s actually good that Mr. Ethan is here… … .”
Cloudy lost in the departmental exchange competition last year due to the Golden Generation of the Faculty of Magic, so she was unable to stand as a representative teacher in the Academy Exchange Competition.
It was even more disappointing because Duty, who had gone out as a representative, lost to Freya Academy.
Other teachers and students also said that if Cloudy had gone out as a representative, they could have beaten Freya Academy and taken first place.
After what happened last year, this year’s Cloudy was quite a formidable opponent for the Faculty of Magic.
The fact that Max Jurod, who is ranked first in swordsmanship, has good reviews this year also played a part.
He excelled in every class he entered, and with his excellent grades on the final exams last year, the Faculty of Magic couldn’t help but be concerned about Max.
In that situation, what if Ethan, not Cloudy, becomes the representative teacher of fencing, and Mason becomes the opponent instead of Max?
From a magician’s perspective, nothing could be better than this.
That’s why the magic department watched the two people’s conflict with great interest.
“This isn’t the time for an emotional fight, either of you.”
The teachers’ murmuring stopped at the principal’s low voice. Cloudy also let out a short sigh to control her emotions.
Ethan, who had never been emotional to begin with, pretended that nothing had happened and smoothed his collar.
“As you know, only one teacher from each department can participate in the department exchange. The Magic Department has already decided on a duty teacher, so it doesn’t matter, and since there are two students from the Knight Department, only one of them will be the representative.”
In this case, one of the two teachers will become the representative through competition.
“In the past, there used to be five or six students from one department. Recently, Professor Cloudy has been achieving great results in the Department of Journalism, so he has become the representative.”
Cloudy had been a representative several times since she joined Iveca, of course because she had been winning the competition all along.
There was even a record of winning the Academy Exchange Tournament just once.
Since Cloudy had such a strong hold on the Knight Academy and was like the face of a madam, it was considered natural that Cloudy would be the representative teacher of the Knight Academy and the Swordsmanship department.
“This will be very disadvantageous to Mr. Ethan.”
“I can’t help it since I’m a newbie and I took on the challenge! It’s a job that represents the department. I can’t do it without solid skills.”
“That’s right. It’s not easy to become a representative teacher of a department.”
The principal looked back and forth between Ethan and Cloudy.
“Whoever it is, I think it will be solid.”
From the principal’s perspective, the more competition there is, the better. Because you have to win the departmental exchange competition and then the academy exchange competition with a strong mind, not a loose mind.
There is no victory without competition.
It seemed like the competition to decide the department representative for the College of Letters would end with a competition between Ethan and Cloudy.
As the meeting was about to end, Ethan opened his mouth.
“Principal. Can only two people participate?”
“What do you mean, Mr. Ethan?”
The department representative match was simple: three representative students competed against each other to prove their skills.
Add to that the midterm exam skills and the competition was over.
“We only have two students on our side right now. Yuna is away for a while due to personal reasons. She will be back just before the midterms, but she will likely not attend the department representative selection.”
“It won’t work.”
The principal answered immediately.
“I’m not trying to change the rules.”
Ethan said.
“I’ll take the loss and go.”
“Wahahahaha-!”
The principal laughed cheerfully. You’re going to take a loss? Then it’s not a violation of the rules.
“Yeah, one person got a bye, so it’s one loss.”
The evaluation of Yuna Garnet was not bad among teachers.
The problem is Ron Beard and Mason Yellowd.
The principal saw right through Ethan why he had made this choice. So did Cloudy. Anger filled his eyes.
How funny are you looking at me?
It’s a fight that will end if you lose just once.
To prevent further gossip.
“Then please take care of it.”
Ethan said with a smile.
* * *
Cloudy knew that her methods were radical.
But this was his way.
If you live in ideals and dreams, teaching students can only be self-satisfying.
It was not a class for the students, but rather a class for the teacher who dreams of becoming an ideal teacher.
That’s why I felt bad when I saw Ethan.
‘Do I think I ran away?’
I felt sick.
“Don’t worry, sir. This time I will definitely be the representative. Besides, aren’t you already starting off with one loss? If I defeat Mason, that’ll be it.”
Short hair, cool features and tall stature.
“He didn’t look like he was going to be a big guy, but you could tell he was physically strong just by the way he walked,” said Max Jurod.
“Mason, it’s too late. You may have been able to surpass me before, but you no longer have a chance.”
The reason Cloudy reached out to Mason was because she saw definite potential in him.
He was born with good blood and had great potential, but if he had put the effort into something else, he could have taught other students better.
Besides, Mason was already a broken man. Rather than fixing him, I thought it would be better to reach out to a new student with potential.
That’s how Cloudy reached out to Max Jurod, and Max lived up to those expectations by rising to the top in swordsmanship.
Now Max will maintain his solid position as the number one swordsman until graduation. Max’s future is so bright that even the Knights of the Empire come to see him.
But for some reason, the conversation with Ethan continued to linger in Cloudy’s mind.
-To my eyes, he just looked like a young student who couldn’t figure out what to do.
