Episode 115. Department Representative Selection Match (1)
“A proposal… is that right?”
Ethan had no intention of going in a hurry.
“Don’t you want to take my class?”
“Oh, yes, that’s right.”
Roanna just saw that brulee and was convinced.
I absolutely have to take Mr. Ethan’s class.
I was filled with a desire to learn more from him.
More than anything, I felt like I wanted to be acknowledged by him.
“I plan to continue the potion making class next semester. I also plan to explain this brûlée. Many magic students still don’t use this brûlée, and its use is not considered very important.”
Ethan continued his explanation.
“But that will change. This Brûlée will be a very basic, fundamental, effective magic that everyone should use.”
Roanna nodded at Ethan’s words.
Ethan was right.
This Brûlée has endless uses once you understand it, so it is enough to become a magic that all magicians must learn.
“But as you can see, there’s no one else who understands you so easily. Grandel Toph? He’s a great student, but after seeing you, he seems a little lukewarm.”
Ethan looked at Roanna and said.
Roanna felt like she could guess what Ethan was going to suggest.
Since entering the Academy, Roanna has received many offers.
The teachers who saw her talent all wanted to make her their favorite student.
Offers to become his disciple and teach him his magic.
But those things weren’t that interesting to her.
What mattered to her was magic.
That’s why I’ve been refusing all those requests up until now.
Mr. Duty made the same suggestion, but I said I would be a representative student, but I would consider becoming a disciple.
But what if Ethan made that offer?
Ethan was definitely a great teacher, but Roanna was thinking of turning him down.
“Can you be my teaching assistant?”
But the words that came out of Ethan’s mouth were unexpected.
No, it was a suggestion I hadn’t even thought of in the first place.
“Assistant?”
“I’d like to be your teaching assistant in the potion making class.”
Not a disciple but an assistant teacher?
Surely you just saw your own talent with your own eyes?
“If you don’t like it, there’s nothing I can do.”
Ethan quickly looked disinterested.
I was thinking of starting with the assistant and gradually moving over to this side.
‘Roanna is a cat.’
If you give attention too easily, it will go away.
You have to keep a certain distance and gradually bring them towards you. That way, you can definitely help them grow into excellent students.
‘If you become a loser, it won’t be good for you later on.’
When Ethan asked her to become his assistant, Roanna didn’t hesitate for long.
This was because if I thought about it any further, Ethan would just say let’s pretend it never happened.
“I will do it!”
“Okay, then I guess that’s what I’m thinking.”
Ethan smiled faintly.
“Then, since you took on the role of assistant, I should pay you appropriately. Let’s forget about this penalty point issue and the proxy attendance issue.”
At those words, Roanna’s heart suddenly sank.
“Then let’s go out and see.”
Leaving the room, Roanna let out a small sigh.
I felt completely swept away by something, but it didn’t feel bad.

Mason and Ron trained in the same space.
Using the special golem that Ethan had given me, I focused on my training, thinking that the duel to decide the department representative was taking place right now.
“Whew… … Whoosh… … .”
Both of them were absorbed in their training until their clothes were soaked with sweat. If even one of them lost without Yuna, it would be the end.
“I can never lose… … .”
They both looked thin, but their eyes were alive.
Ethan was watching the two students from behind.
I was convinced just now when I saw two students take down the special golem.
‘I just stepped up in the short term.’
I made it to the final stage that Ethan set.
‘This is enough.’
Ron has become perfectly capable of dealing stabbing damage, and Mason has also been able to greatly improve his sword skills.
‘I can win at this level.’
* * *
So on the day of the decisive battle.
The department representative selection match is held on a small scale.
Basically, what should have been given attention was not the department representative match, but the department exchange match where department representatives fought each other.
Although it was a small event, the heads of the College of Magic and the College of Knights attended, as there was a possibility of opposition.
As soon as the teachers took their seats, the main characters of this departmental representative competition came in.
“Mr. Cloudy Hyde.”
“yes.”
Starting with Cloudy Hyde, Max Jurod and Sloth Palo came in.
“They both look like they’re in really good condition.”
The principal smiled at the two swordsmen and their students.
“Mr. Ethan Wickes.”
“yes.”
Ethan, Mason, and Ron came in.
Cloudy was slightly impressed at how completely Mason and Ron had changed in such a short period of time. Max and Sloth were equally surprised.
Max, in particular, was surprised to feel an aura from Mason that he had never felt before.
‘That’s not the Mason I knew.’
From that day on, Mason seemed to have become a completely different person.
Sloth Palo was also clicking his tongue at his opponent, Ron Bears.
Originally, Ron Bears was a bear-like student, just like his name.
But now Ron Bears didn’t look like a bear at all.
Rather, he seemed tall and agile, almost like a beast.
This was a duel to elect a department representative, but it was basically a friendly match.
But what is that rising aura?
It was as if he was going to kill me.
Cloudy was also surprised to see the two students in such a state. She had no idea Mason would show such aggression.
And what about Ron, who is at the bottom in swordsmanship?
In terms of ranking, there was a big difference between Sloth and Palo, but Sloth seemed to be overwhelmed by Ron’s momentum.
“What kind of education did you receive?”
Cloudy couldn’t help but ask.
“I just showed you the right path.”
“Who decides what is right?”
At this, Ethan nodded to the two students.
“One thing is for sure, it’s not something the teacher decides.”
Cloudy frowned.
It was certainly annoying. But his mind was clearly geared towards helping Ibeka and her students.
“joy.”
Cloudy soon lost interest in Ethan.
The important thing was the duel. It would be difficult for them to win this duel anyway.
No matter how much you improve your skills in a short period of time, there is a big difference from your original skills.
The gap between Ron and Sloth in particular was quite large, as were Max and Mason.
“All the eyes look fine.”
“I thought it would be a one-sided fight, but it might be more fun than I thought.”
The magic faculty teachers were thoroughly enjoying this duel.
From their perspective, I was hopeful that a good outcome would come out of it.
It was because the momentum and aura emanating from the two students, Ron Beards and Mason Yellowd, were sharp.
It was like a sharp, well-honed sword.
“I didn’t know you could improve your skills to this extent in such a short period of time.”
“I don’t think you can push students to do that, that’s amazing.”
The magic faculty teachers didn’t know much about Ethan. They only heard rumors and had never attended a class, so they had no way of knowing about him.
So I was quite curious about what kind of education they gave to the two students and how they motivated them.
Basically, it was difficult to change these Ibekah students overnight by urging or coaxing them.
“Is everyone ready?”
“yes.”
“yes!”
Four students answered simultaneously.
“The swordsmanship and class representative match will now begin.”
The competition to decide the representative of the swordsmanship department began with the principal’s speech.
“Student Ron Bears and student Sloth Palo will spar in turn. If student Ron Bears loses, it means he has lost two games, and Mr. Cloudy and the three students will immediately become representatives of the swordsmanship department. The winners will be given the opportunity to represent the department in the future exchange competition.”
Currently, Ethan’s side was holding on to one loss.
That’s why Ron Bears, who took the lead, lost.
The teachers who were watching shook their heads.
Objectively speaking, the one with the weakest skills was Ron Bears.
I’ve been at the bottom of the fencing class since the beginning of the semester.
“Even if I improved my skills, I don’t know how much I could have improved.”
“I think the Sloth Army is quite skilled.”
Since the swordsmanship department was allowed to take classes in the magic department as much as they wanted, the teachers who knew Sloth thought that this duel would not even be Mason and Max’s turn.
“It’s too much to carry one loss.”
“Tsk, no matter how much I say that changing those two’s images comes before Yuna Garnet’s, if I lose, then it’s all meaningless, right?”
“Mr. Ethan has to win.”
They were talking quietly among themselves, but Ethan could hear everything. But he didn’t really care.
Instead, the focus was on two students.
‘It’s burning.’
Ron, standing in front of Sloth, was quite nervous. However, he was not overly nervous, but just the right amount of nervous.
Ethan approached Ron.
“Ready to spar!”
As soon as the principal finished speaking, he lowered his voice so that only Ron could hear.
“Did you just hear that? You’re the weakest here right now. People still think of you only as a swordsman and last place.”
“… … .”
“Show me how strong you are now.”
“I won’t disappoint you.”
Ron slowly stepped forward, almost like the right hand man of an underworld boss.
Ethan couldn’t help but chuckle at the sight.
‘I feel like a boss.’
Sloth Palo stood facing Ron.
Ron was huge, and he felt even bigger even though he had clearly lost weight.
But Sloth is in the third place in swordsmanship and mind control wasn’t that difficult.
“Don’t expect any power adjustments. This side also has a representative, so it can’t be half-assed.”
“Okay, do that.”
Ron said.
“Because I practiced like that.”
“what……?”
The principal raised his hand and shouted loudly.
“Start sparring!”
As soon as the words “Sparring begins” were uttered, Sloth quickly drew his sword.
At the same time, Sloth’s signature thrusts came with all his might.
Wedge-!
I didn’t intend to drag it out for too long anyway. The Magic Department was also watching, so the goal was to win while minimizing power loss as much as possible.
‘I’ll do as the teacher says!’
Sloth thought he had won by thrusting his sword with all his might. His timing was excellent.
It was a perfect thrust, with a sense of power building up through his legs, waist, and shoulders.
Since it was a wooden sword anyway, I planned to stab it all the way through without stopping.
“Huh.”
But with a short gasp, Ron swung his sword.
Sloth’s wooden sword stabbed hard, and he struck the side hard to disrupt the sword’s momentum, then slammed the sword into the ground.
bang-!
In an instant, Sloth’s posture collapsed and his sword was pushed away. In a panic, Sloth raised his sword again, but it was too late.
Even faster, Ron’s sword struck Sloth’s shoulder.
Crunch-!
Sloth screamed with the sound of bones breaking.
“Kyuuuuuuuuu!”
As Ron, excited, was about to swing his sword again, the headmaster appeared and lightly pushed Ron down.
“It’s over, Ron Beards.”
The principal said as if he had done well.
“The winner is Ron Bears!”
At those words, Ron roared like a bear.
