Subscriber of the Gods Episode 131
Episode 131. Departmental Exchange (1)
“As you all know, the exchange battle is for each person to show what they are good at. The score for that will be given by the Heavenly Swordsman, Jared, who is here.”
“Hello, students. My name is Jared, who goes by a nickname that is too much. At the invitation of the principal, I have been appointed as a judge for the renowned Ibeka Academy’s festival, the Departmental Exchange Competition. Please take care of me, everyone!”
“Master Jared!”
“Hello, Jared!”
Jared was quite popular.
Not only did he have a cool appearance, but his position as the head of the Inquisition, which judges heretics, also played a role.
The Inquisition was a fairly powerful and independent organization within the Holy Empire. Its director was directly under the Emperor, the sole supreme authority in the Empire.
In short, it could be seen as the emperor’s hammer, as it was an organization directly under the emperor.
Of course, that was only in name, but the actual orders came from someone other than the emperor.
There is an order of holy knights directly under the emperor.
Anyway, since the head of the Inquisition was none other than Jared, if you caught his eye, you could join the Inquisition.
Above all, the uniform of the Inquisition was popular among young people.
The Inquisition’s uniform, of truly magnificent design, was a masterpiece created by the Empire’s renowned tailor, Shamarziel.
This outfit, which exudes style just by looking at it, was loved by everyone regardless of gender or age.
That’s why there were quite a few students who wanted to join the Inquisition simply because they wanted to wear the cool uniform, putting aside all other reasons.
“Master Jared has outstanding skills in both swordsmanship and magic, so he is someone who can be evaluated without prejudice or bias. Everyone, you don’t have to worry about the evaluation.”
The vice principal shouted loudly.
“Okay, then the Knight’s College’s Swordsmanship Department! Miss Yuna Garnet will lead the way. Her opponent will be Miss Ingerd from the Magic Department of the Magic College!”
Yuna and Ingerd came forward at the vice principal’s call.
“Yuna Garnet will be using swordsmanship with a focus on transformation. Ingerd will be using magic.”
The students stirred at the vice principal’s words.
“But isn’t it actually advantageous for the magic department, except for Roanna?”
“There are two members of the golden generation, and Yuna Garnet didn’t even show up for the department representative selection in the first place.”
“They said it was personal reasons. Then you wouldn’t have been able to practice.”
“They say that Ingerd coming in as a substitute for Roanna makes the show less weighty… … .”
“I think this is Mr. Ethan’s fault. How important is the vanguard? Wouldn’t it be better to put Ron in front?”
“I think so too. It’s definitely Mason or Ron. They should take the lead and get a win.”
“It’s not Yuna.”
The other teachers were looking at Ethan with the same gaze.
Yuna Garnet definitely has talent.
However, it was difficult to compare him with Ron or Mason, whose skills have improved rapidly in recent years.
The picture that Yuna would take the lead and win was not drawn.
Especially Ron.
They say that Mason’s original potential exploded through Ethan’s education, but Ron was completely different.
Ron was last. An overwhelming last in swordsmanship.
The last one caught the top student.
All thanks to Ethan’s education.
If Ron had been in the vanguard, he would have definitely taken advantage of the momentum and won the game.
“If it were me, I would have put Ron in the lead.”
“Because this is your first time. You’re probably nervous.”
“If I went out… … .”
Sir Ron Ramsdale looked at such teachers with a look of displeasure.
“What if I go out? I don’t have the ability to go out anyway… … Ugh.”
“Be quiet, Mr. Shiron. I can hear you.”
Iris covered Shiron’s mouth.
“I understand that you are angry.”
The magic department was also clearly ignoring Ethan. Of course, the teachers who directly watched the department representative selection match were secretly keeping silent.
“There’s no way Mr. Ethan would have thoughtlessly put Yuna Garnett in the vanguard. Being the vanguard is a surefire way to set the mood. It’s especially important since we have to win two out of three exchange matches. There must be a reason why he chose Yuna over Ron or Mason!”
But, even the professor who said that did not understand the thoughts of other teachers.
Ron and Mason have been in great shape lately.
He surprised his students with his excellent grades in this midterm exam, and it was safe to say that he was in peak form, beating a student with better grades than him in the department representative match.
On the other hand, Yuna has not shown much. Of course, we know that Yuna Garnet’s skills are top-tier. However, Ingerd, the leader of the magic department, is a student that Mr. Duty brought in as a substitute for Roanna.
That meant that he definitely had the skills. If he had used a mediocre student as a substitute, there was no way that Mr. Duty would have sent Ingerd as the vanguard.
They would have sent out two of the clear golden generation players and taken two wins, but Ingerd would not have been released.
Siron and Iris also thought that Ethan had a clear reason for putting Yuna in the vanguard, but they didn’t know what it was.
They weren’t the only ones who questioned this situation.
The highest point in the training ground.
The principal with Jared was also tilting his head.
“Yuna is the vanguard.”
“Are you a student with lower ability than the two students next to you?”
“Originally, Yuna Garnet had the highest grades and evaluations out of the three, but that’s changed a bit recently. Those two did well on the midterms this time. And the department representative match was decided by those two’s victory.”
“Hmm, so that means I should have put one of those two in the vanguard.”
In a situation where everyone thought it was right to send Ron and Mason instead of Yuna, Ethan stubbornly pushed for Yuna.
‘Interesting.’
Jared began to focus seriously on the two students.
“First, Ms. Ingerd will begin.”
Jared liked this style of fighting. What he liked most was that it didn’t just involve fighting to decide who would win or lose.
‘I like it because it shows off each other’s beauty. It’s a place to show how much you’ve honed your weapons.’
No one gets hurt. After beating up heretics every day, I couldn’t help but like this peaceful atmosphere.
“let’s begin.”
Ingerd spread out both hands, raised her thumb and index finger, and quickly created a spell.
“oh.”
She uses different spells with both hands to overlap magic. Her specialty was the synthetic deployment of spells.
While general magic uses a single, complete formula, Ingerd was very good at splitting the formula and making changes to the same magic.
Also, splitting and pasting recipes was a specialty.
She mixed the 1st circle light spell with the 3rd circle fire rain spell. Then, light began to spread out like rain from her two hands.
“Ohhh!”
There was an outburst of admiration among the students.
In particular, the voices of magicians and students were loud.
The original spell was difficult to tamper with. It was especially difficult to split a completed spell and attach it to another magic spell.
There is a risk that if the control is even slightly disturbed, it will explode.
But Ingerd did it so naturally and calmly.
Duty, who was watching that, snickered.
‘Look. That’s Ingerd. The Ingerd I unearthed. She has a natural talent for magic control.’
Duty checked the magic and the teachers’ faces.
‘It’s not something even teachers can easily do.’
This time, Ingerd combined 3rd circle magic and 4th circle magic. Then, she continued to display her beautiful skills.
Without stopping in the middle, he boasted about his level and how far he could bring out the synthesis of this special technique.
“I didn’t know Ingerd’s skills were that good.”
“Hmm, the first vanguard fight will end in our victory.”
“Our department won.”
“It’s over, this is it. There’s nothing more to see.”
Duty turned his gaze to the most anticipated one.
Ethan Wickers. I never dreamed that Yuna Garnet would be the vanguard.
Ethan’s expression, which I thought would be very distorted, looked quite relaxed, contrary to my expectations.
Even Yuna Garnet, who was standing in front of him, was watching Ingerd beautifully perform her magic as if she was watching a spectacle.
‘Ha, have you already given up?’
If that’s the case, then it’s even better. If the real pack on the other side is Ron and Mason, then we can just end this side with the golden generation.
“That is all.”
“Whaaaaaaaaaaah-!”
“This is crazy! Ingerd’s skills were at that level!?”
“I don’t know what it is… … but it seems great!”
Ingerd’s splendid synthetic magic drew great response from magicians and students.
The students applauded and praised Ingerd.
“That was great, Ingerd.”
Jared also applauded and praised her.
“thank you.”
“Next up, immediately. Miss Yuna Garnet, please begin.”
“yes.”
Yuna answered in a cheerful voice and took out her sword. It was a soft sword that looked very smooth. This soft sword had the effect of being able to bend when force was applied, and fixed when mana was injected.
Before she left the academy for personal reasons, Ethan gave her an assignment.
It wasn’t a homework assignment that I had to complete 100 percent of. It was 80 percent of the amount I had given. Ethan’s homework was so tight that he only had to do that much.
-Homework? Of course I did it all!
As she said that, she showed Ethan the results of her homework. She was much more diligent than she appeared, and she had been doing 100 percent of the homework Ethan had given her.
“Are you anxious?”
“… … To be honest, yes.”
“Isn’t it clear that Ingerd is much less skilled than Roanna?”
“okay.”
Mason had some knowledge of magic. Even to him, Ingerd’s skills seemed outstanding.
“You two, look carefully. There isn’t a single person here right now who thinks I made the right choice. Everyone thinks I made a mistake. Look over there in particular. The magic department thinks they’ve already won. They think they’re throwing Yuna away.”
Ethan said.
Yuna took out her sword and took a stance. This was the first stance of her versatile swordsmanship that she specialized in.
“I made the right choice.”
Yuna’s sword unfolded.
“And now everyone will know that I made the right choice.”
Sharak-.
Hundreds of lines formed from Yuna’s sword and then flowers bloomed.
