Episode 111. Black Star
‘First, the principal’s office.’
Ethan walked quickly to the principal’s office.
That was because I was told to come to the principal’s office after class.
‘I think we’ll probably talk about the department representative selection match.’
Since I finished class today, there’s about a week left.
Knock knock.
Ethan knocked on the door three times.
“Principal, this is Ethan Wickers.”
“Wait there a minute, Mr. Ethan!”
“No, come in.”
‘It’s a different voice.’
Ethan was a little puzzled, but he opened the door to the principal’s office slightly and went in.
The principal looked quite embarrassed. And there was one more person in front of him.
He was an old man with white hair, and the beard covering his entire chin was also black.
“It’s you.”
When the old man stood up, it felt like a mountain was rising.
Shaaaaah-.
In that moment, an aura emanating from the old man flew straight towards Ethan.
Tingling tingling-.
It was an aura so powerful that it took my breath away.
“Ugh… … .”
-Your chances of survival are temporarily reduced!
A powerful mana that seemed to pierce through his body washed over Ethan.
At the same time, Ethan’s entire body felt tense. The pressure was so strong that he couldn’t withstand it unless he pulled out his sword.
But Ethan didn’t show any signs of fatigue and just took a deep breath.
This wave of mana is the energy that the old man is emitting.
A power that directly strikes the body and even shakes the mind.
So, it could be offset by the hero’s breath.
-The hero’s breathing proficiency increases significantly!
-Survival odds are back to normal.
As Ethan held on as if nothing had happened, the old man looked at him with interest.
Ethan looked at the old man, who was laying down very naturally. A plain scabbard hung from the old man’s waist.
As the Eye of Horus was activated, I could see what would have happened if the old man had swung his sword.
It was a kind of simulation.
The old man swung his sword, and Ethan tried to block it in some way.
– Horus’ Eye proficiency increases significantly.
My eyes were burning and sore, but my skill level increased.
‘I know who you are. Damn it.’
I couldn’t help but grumble inside.
“Do you understand now? It’s not that I didn’t want to give it to you. Well, since you asked for it, I would have given it to you if it were possible, but I can’t just give it to anyone. So stop now, Geomseong.”
The old man was a man called Geomseong.
‘Sir Ramsdale’s grandfather.’
Blacksmith Jed Ramsdale.
As Ethan withstood the aura emitted by the swordsman, the headmaster, who had been looking anxious, smiled as if relieved.
Honestly, I didn’t think Ethan would be able to handle it.
But Ethan withstood the swordsman’s momentum.
And he didn’t seem too flustered either.
It is the momentum of a swordsman who can kill a person.
It’s not something a new teacher should be able to endure, but he’s holding out.
The principal vowed that he would give Ethan a good elixir when he left the castle.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Ethan. We had a visitor unexpectedly. He just came without saying anything.”
Of course, I thought it would come sometime this year.
His grandson, Siron Ramsdale, whom the swordsman had entrusted to him, did not receive the top position, and was not given much prominence even after being appointed a teacher.
It was someone else who received the top award and who currently stands out among the new teachers at Ibeka Academy.
So, from the blacksmith’s point of view, he couldn’t help but be angry.
It is clear that his grandson entered, but there is no mention of him at all.
I came here today to protest that. I was also curious as to who received the top award.
Ethan, the swordsmanship genius of the Wickus family? Who on earth is this that pushed aside his own grandson to become the top swordsman?
He said he would check it out himself.
That’s what we were talking about just a moment ago.
But Ethan came at an inopportune time, and the principal, who had called Ethan without knowing that Geomseong would come, urgently told him to wait.
“Ghost Sword, I thought you might have done something stupid. You’re not the kind of person who would do something just because I asked you to. That’s why I sent you here after training that guy Shiron.”
Certainly, Sir Ron Ramsdale’s skills were outstanding.
If Ethan hadn’t been there, he would have definitely taken the top spot, beating out Iris Paqueta.
Even if he didn’t want to give it, the principal had no choice but to give it to him.
“It’s definitely different when you see it in person. I tried to be a little sincere, you know. You’re holding on as if nothing happened?”
“From what I’ve heard, it seems like you’re the Sword Master.”
“Yes, this old man with white hair is the Sword Saint with that great nickname.”
“Even if you are the Master of the Black Sword, I don’t think it’s right to show off your aura like this when you first meet someone.”
There was a deep displeasure in Ethan’s voice.
At Ethan’s words, Geomseong blinked his eyes.
Even though he just received that tremendous momentum head-on, he’s not only fine, but he’s even looking at me with a look of displeasure.
It’s been a long time since something like this has happened.
‘Hoo… … .’
Geomseong was a symbolic person to the prosecutors.
Among those who made their name high with the sword, the highest one was the Sword Master.
There may be those stronger than the Black Swordsman, but no one can match his depth of swordsmanship.
That’s why those who were tested by the Sword Master or who withstood his test considered it a great honor.
As such, Ethan’s reaction was quite refreshing to Geomseong.
“They say he came from the Wickers estate, but for a child from a local noble family, he’s very… … .”
“Your Majesty.”
Ethan cut off the swordsman.
The blacksmith’s eyebrows twitched for a moment.
“I haven’t heard the apology yet.”
Ethan knows.
This swordsman is also as obsessed with being strong as the crazy headmaster of Freya Academy.
Ethan was confident.
Since I just showed that I was holding my momentum well, I don’t think Geomseong will pull out his sword right away even if I act a little cocky.
‘But I can’t just let it go.’
The blacksmith is strong.
And most of the time, when you get involved with a black person, you can’t help but get caught up in the black person’s pace.
That’s why Ethan came out strong.
When Ethan suddenly became so assertive, it was not the swordsman but the principal who was embarrassed.
“Uh, Mr. Ethan?”
It was clear that Geomseong had acted in a manner that was impolite. However, no one pointed out his mistake.
Because the sword is strong.
It was natural that one could not treat the strong lightly, but that was not the case with Ethan.
As Ethan waited for the swordsman to speak, the principal took a step forward.
At that moment, Geomseong watched Ethan for a while and then opened his mouth.
“I’m sorry. I was a little too harsh. I was curious about how great your skills were. You always seem to be lacking in my eyes, but even so, that poor grandson is a man who will never fall behind his peers.”
Then he apologized obediently.
The principal blinked his eyes.
I never thought that Geomseong would apologize.
“I had no choice but to try it.”
“I understand, Your Majesty.”
Ethan, who had been showing a displeased expression just a moment ago, answered with a sly smile. The corners of Geomseong’s mouth twitched at that attitude.
I was impressed by Ethan’s behavior, as if he no longer needed to be picky now that he had received the apology.
“You’re more of a sly person than I thought. Even though you’re so young.”
As he said that, Geomseong glanced at the principal. The principal also snickered as he looked at Geomseong.
Ethan is definitely different from your average teacher.
At the principal’s gaze that seemed to ask if he understood that now, Geomseong smiled deeply once again.
“Ethan.”
Then he immediately spread his arms and opened his mouth with a look of apology on his face.
“I was rude to you, so you deserve something from me. As an apology, I’ll give you what you want.”
At those words, the principal looked at Geomseong with surprised eyes.
The old man’s face looked as if he was crazy.
The swordsman with the highest self-esteem in the world is not only apologizing, but is also offering compensation?
“Old man, what are you doing to our teacher now?”
“We’re both old, so what are you talking about? What are you going to do? You’re going to compensate Ethan, the man you cherish so much.”
The principal quickly figured out the blacksmith’s intentions.
When young prosecutors meet the Prosecutor General, there is only one thing they can ask for.
Giving a helping hand.
The fact that Geomseong was watching the swordsmanship had an indescribable and enormous meaning.
Geomseong is a formidable swordsman who is evaluated to have reached the pinnacle of swordsmanship.
Show your swordsmanship to such an inspector and get evaluated?
It is not a simple evaluation. Of course, the advice of the swordsman will follow as well.
You can receive corrections and supplements to your current swordsmanship and any shortcomings.
And most importantly of all,
It was a matter of learning the swordsmanship of the Black Sword Master.
High-level swordsmanship is worth watching.
As a result, there were even young prosecutors who were willing to pay hundreds of millions of won to learn a lesson from Geomseong.
The principal quickly figured out the blacksmith’s intentions. He was asking Ethan to show him a trick in this way so that he could properly check Ethan’s abilities.
I wonder what kind of skills Ethan has that he can take on his own momentum so easily and even get an apology.
It was a very pure desire that the inspectors had.
How strong!
What kind of swordsmanship do you have!
Besides, didn’t Ethan push out Siron Ramsdale to take the top spot?
From the perspective of the blacksmith, it is impossible not to be curious.
“Mr. Ethan, you don’t need to feel burdened. I called you because I have something to tell you. It has nothing to do with the Sword. It’s because this old man showed up unexpectedly that things got like this.”
“You don’t have to worry about the ghost sword story. If there’s anything you want, just tell me. If it’s something I can give you, I’ll definitely give it to you.”
As he spoke, Geomseong lightly touched the scabbard on his waist. It was a very clear and blatant signal.
Ethan’s eyes met the sword.
With that, Black Star seemed to know what Ethan would ask for.
“Since you’re granting me a favor, I have no reason to refuse.”
“Tell me.”
The principal sighed.
It was already too late. He had to make sure that Ethan didn’t get hurt, just in case.
The blacksmith who was blinded by the talent might hurt Mr. Ethan, Ibeka’s new treasure.
If Ethan gets hurt now, it’ll cause huge problems for what happens next.
“Please come to my class as an outside lecturer.”
“Yes, of course I can do it. Right to the training ground… … Yes?”
“Let me say this again. I would like you to come to my class as an outside lecturer.”
For a moment, Geomseong was visibly embarrassed.
It was the same for the principal.
I thought I had misheard, but when Ethan said it again, I knew I had heard correctly.
“Hahahahahaha-!”
The principal couldn’t hold back his laughter.
On the other hand, Geomseong just opened his eyes wide and blinked.
