“Did you hear the story?”
“Isn’t there anyone who doesn’t know now?”
“Wow, seriously, Max and Sloth lost. That’s ridiculous. Mason may be skilled, but he hasn’t trained in a long time. Max is already number one in swordsmanship.”
“And Ron Bears is in last place. His current grades must be at the bottom.”
“Max and Sloth received intensive training from Mr. Cloudy, didn’t they? They were his absolute favorite students.”
“Then… … is Mr. Ethan more skilled than Mr. Cloudy?”
“Hey! What are you talking about? You’re still Mr. Cloudy!”
“But you lost.”
“But that is… … .”
Word of this incident began to circulate rapidly within the Academy.
The fact that Ethan Wickers, not Claude Hyde, won the departmental valedictorian competition was a huge issue among students.
Who is Cloudy? Isn’t he the teacher who has been in charge of the swordsmanship department until now?
And further, there is Cloudy Hyde, who was called Ibekah’s pride.
He was gnashing his teeth over last year’s defeat, and this year he must have been desperately trying to avenge that humiliation.
The fact that Claude Hyde lost the departmental representative competition caused a huge stir within the Academy.
And the fact that the one who defeated Cloudy was a new teacher, Ethan Wickers, also played a big role in spreading the issue.
“I never thought I would lose to a new teacher.”
“No, no matter what, it’s like that. How can it be like this?”
“Did the principal push you to do this? This doesn’t make sense.”
The teachers who weren’t there were all muttering among themselves, and the students, too, seemed suspicious of how Max and Sloth could lose to Mason and Ron.
“Isn’t Mr. Cloudy’s skill just a bubble?”
“How can 1st and 3rd place lose? Ron is even in last place?”
“Are Mason, Ron, and Yuna really our representatives?”
“I can’t admit it.”
“I can’t admit it either. Are they some kind of swordsman or representative?”
The students’ reaction was unusual.
Even if Maxya became the representative of the swordsmanship department and the first place, he could be acknowledged for participating in the exchange match with the magic department.
“Mason is a thug!”
“Does it make sense for a punk to become a representative just because he caught the teacher’s eye a little?”
There was no way that the students who had been treated badly by Mason would readily admit that Mason was the department head.
It was then that Mason appeared among the students who had been gossiping and gave them a look.
The students who had been gossiping excitedly shut their mouths when they saw Mason’s gaze.
But Mason walked over as if he had heard everything.
“Oh no!” The students thought as they immediately tried to leave.
But sooner than that, Mason stood in front of them.
“Hey, Mason… … ?”
Mason approached and immediately bowed his head.
“I’m sorry. I won’t make excuses. I apologize for acting like a punk to you all.”
The students were very embarrassed.
If it was Mason, it wouldn’t have been strange if he had called his gang over and harassed him right away.
“Did you just apologize?”
“Okay, I don’t know if you’ll forgive me for this, but I want to at least take responsibility for what I did.”
“what…….”
“Why are you suddenly doing this?”
One student asked.
“I want to live properly now.”
Mason answered shortly.
Although it was just a few words, his classmates felt sincerity in those words.
“I just realized how miserable I’ve been living. You might wonder what the point is now, but I’m sorry.”
His classmates didn’t forgive Mason right away, but they could sense his sincerity.
After that, Mason went around to every student he could remember and apologized.
And finally, he called all the gang members he used to hang out with.
“I’m sorry for everything up until now.”
The gang also made a strange expression at the words, “I’m sorry.”
“Mason, you’ve changed a lot.”
“Is this all because of that teacher Ethan?”
“Okay, I don’t need to go into detail with you guys. We’re taking the same class.”
They also knew how great of a teacher Ethan was, as they had taken the same class as Mason.
It wasn’t just Mason who changed. They changed too.
The only thing that changed the most was Mason.
Mason then bowed his head to Chen Garcia.
“What I said back then was too much. I apologize formally, Chen.”
“No, I already forgot. I know you didn’t mean it.”
Chen had also changed quite a bit.
Of course, Mr. Ethan was a scary person, but at least taking his class made me feel like I could change too.
I feel like I can become a better person than I am now.
Probably everyone here felt it.
“Let’s stop chasing after each other. Let’s be a little more productive… … .”
Mason said.
It was quite a heartwarming sight, but then an unexpected intruder arrived.
“Mason, let me see you.”
It was Max Jurod who lost to Mason in the departmental representative match.

“Oh! This is Ethan’s personal office!”
“As expected, it’s Ethan. It’s incredibly spacious!”
Shudlen put down the things he was holding.
He carried sofas and chairs on his shoulders.
As soon as I put down what I was holding with a thud, Ethan immediately began to lead the charge.
“The sofa is over here, we’ll sit there and rest. And the chairs are over here, the students will sit there.”
Ethan put the falcon crown he had used as a chair aside and put it back in its place.
“Where should I put this?”
What Yeorika magically brought were dumbbells and a barbell.
“With all these things filled in, it feels more like a training center than an office.”
“I’ll do it. Hmm, that’s a little bit this way, to separate the space. Put this up here… … .”
Ethan decorated the room with a thoughtful expression.
“I didn’t know you were this serious. I thought you’d just let it go.”
“It’s my office, you know. A lot of students will come here, and you guys will come too. And most of all, I’ll be here the longest, so I have to decorate it to my satisfaction.”
Ethan continued to adjust the position of the furniture, gesturing with his hands.
After cleaning up the office for about an hour,
“done.”
Ethan crossed his arms with a satisfied expression.
The empty room was filled with various items, and it started to look quite nice.
-Your aesthetic score goes up!
– The aesthetic score reached 15 points.
-You have achieved the achievement!
-[Emotional Interior] Likes were earned by achieving achievements.
-You got ‘1’ like!
There, I even got a like for the housing system achievement.
‘It feels pretty good to raise your aesthetic score.’
I secretly felt good, as if my aesthetic sense was being acknowledged.
It is no wonder that so many people fall into the housing system.
“It looks well-decorated. What do you guys think?”
“Shall I be honest with you?”
“honestly.”
The moment Yeriqa was about to speak, Shudlen opened her mouth first.
“I think it’s very well-decorated. Look. This is the office space, this is the exercise space. Great teachers like Confucius are busy, so they have to do everything in one place. In that sense, this is a very efficient and excellent office.”
Schudlen actively praised Ethan’s aesthetic sense.
“Schüdlen, let’s eat expensive meat later.”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
“… … Is this really okay? No, there are no curtains or any artifacts that look like they’re there? Not even any artifacts that emit a soft light… … .”
“Jerika, let’s eat some hard bread together.”
“Ugh… … .”
Yereka looked at Ethan as if she was dumbfounded.
While I was decorating my office, I discovered a box that I hadn’t noticed before.
“Ethan, I think there’s a gift here.”
“gift?”
I’m sure not many people know that Ethan has been assigned an office yet.
Ethan opened the box right away.
Inside the box were several fragrant herb roots and several vials of potion.
-This is compensation for the rudeness of the blacksmith a while ago. I’ve been saving it, so enjoy it.
“It’s a gift from the principal. Oh, it’s so expensive.”
It was a gift from the principal as an apology for what happened a while ago. All of the herbs were expensive, and if you made a potion with them, you could increase your mana to some extent.
Of course, it didn’t do much for Ethan, but it wasn’t bad to have it.
“As expected! The principal must be crazy about you. I would have done the same if I were the principal. You have the talent to be Ibeka’s representative teacher.”
Schudlen looked pleased as if he had received it himself.
Knock knock-.
Just then someone knocked on the door.
“Teacher, this is Chen Garcia!”
‘Chen Garcia? What brings you here all of a sudden?’
“Come in.”
Chen opened the door and came in. After entering, Chen glanced around the office and greeted Ethan and the two escorts.
“I heard from the principal that you recently received your own office! You decorated it very nicely, teacher!”
Chen has changed so much that you could almost say he’s a different person than when we first met.
Who would have thought that a rough and tumble punk could change like this?
After receiving proper training from Ethan once, Chen was completely rehabilitated while taking his classes.
He spared no effort in following the sword master’s lessons, such as practicing alone.
In particular, he studied hard to master the sword that Ethan modified.
As his father said, Ethan was a really good teacher.
“Take this. Your father told me to bring it to you.”
“Parents shouldn’t be receiving things like that.”
Chen blinked at Ethan.
I didn’t know he was this honest.
As far as Chen knew, most other teachers were receiving various items from parents without knowing it.
That wasn’t all. There were even teachers who received financial support and in return paid a little more attention to their students.
These things were passed down as if they were unwritten rules, so some parents would naturally give various things in the name of sponsorship.
Of course, parents who hate that kind of thing never did anything like that.
Count Garcia was one of those nobles.
Nevertheless, I asked Ethan to tell me this.
“My father said he had fun during the parent observation class. He said Mr. Ethan made a bet on whether I would do well in the observation class or not.”
“That was a fun bet. I can see which side you were betting on.”
Chen chuckled.
Chen was also the main character during the observation class.
“Then I will go now.”
“Chen Garcia.”
“yes?”
“I can see you’re trying.”
Ethan said.
“Just keep doing it like you are doing now.”
Chen was the scoundrel of the Garcia family. But he didn’t want to be a scoundrel.
Just as Mason had changed, Chen also tried to change. He wanted to be recognized by his father, which was the same.
So I’ve been trying to do it alone.
I thought no one would know that I was working so hard.
But Ethan knew.
Chen nodded, his eyes reddening for a moment.
I never knew that it would mean so much to have someone recognize me.
“……yes!”
As the door closed, Yereka looked at Ethan.
“That student will never forget what happened today?”
Schudlen also nodded in agreement.
