Episode 133. Departmental Exchange (3)
Whoosh whoosh-!
Just like Yuna, Vilkas also unleashed the best magic he could from the beginning.
Flare Dragon.
An orange flame took the shape of a dragon from Vilkas’ hand.
Speed of the window.
Magic spells.
And the efficiency of the mana that goes in.
As a member of the Golden Generation, Vilkas’ magic was splendid and powerful.
“hmm.”
Jared, who was watching, frowned slightly.
‘I heard they’re the golden generation.’
Clearly, his skills are excellent.
However, it was only excellent from a student’s perspective.
The principal whispered next to him, perhaps noticing his puzzlement.
“The center of the golden generation is Miss Roanna. Miss Roanna has been at the center and has raised the level. There is a big gap between the two students and Miss Roanna.”
“Hmm, so that’s why.”
He nodded.
Clearly, this is an incredible, top-tier skill for a student.
However, their skills are not good enough to be called the golden generation.
‘They are definitely different from the students that Mr. Ethan taught.’
Yuna and Ron are out of student level.
A truly golden generation for students.
And two people who are beyond the student level.
‘It’s the difference between educators.’
All the students at Ibeca Academy are talented.
The educator’s ability was to develop that talent.
‘It may sound harsh, but teachers at this academy must be evaluated harshly.’
Jared thought the gap between Ethan and that Duty’s capabilities was huge.
As Ron’s case shows, Ethan didn’t put limits on the talents of his students.
If a student’s talent is specialized in the greatsword, he or she will be given education appropriate for that greatsword.
‘If we’re going to be efficient, I guess Mr. Duty is right.’
There is only one teacher, but there are many students. In order to teach them effectively, you have to teach them areas where they can all learn and develop together.
‘Because time is limited.’
But this is Ibeca Academy.
Students already find their own effectiveness through their own families or by realizing it on their own.
‘Then we must nurture the talent of that student. If Ibeka is to be known as the best academy, then we must do so.’
By that standard, Ethan Wickers is way ahead of Duty.
‘With educators who look to the future and think one step further.’
An educator who educates simply to get good grades in the academy.
Whoosh whoosh!
Everyone knows which educator is highly regarded.
“That is all.”
“Whaaaaaaaaaaah-!”
“As expected of Vilkas!”
“I don’t know how this situation will turn out!”
Vilkas’s outstanding magic was enough to elicit cheers from both sides, just like it did with Yuna.
High-level magic is a delight to the eyes and makes the heart race just by looking at it.
Jared also applauded.
These were magic tricks that deserved plenty of applause.
But his mind was already set.
‘It’s not the student’s fault.’
Once a certain level is passed, students can no longer be blamed for their mistakes. They are simply following the teacher’s instructions.
“I don’t know who will win.”
“I think Vilkas will probably win. That magic just now, it was no joke just looking at it.”
“Rondo was okay, but since I was using a greatsword, I couldn’t even swing it a few times.”
“The impact was tremendous.”
Everyone predicted that Vilkas would have the upper hand.
If Vilkas had won here, the third match would have been Mason and Serana’s turn.
Since both of them were students with clear strengths, the students watching were already looking forward to the third match.
“I’ll announce the results right away. First, I’d like to say thank you to both students for your hard work. It was great swordsmanship and great magic.”
At Jared’s words, Ron and Vilkas simultaneously bowed their heads in greeting.
“Whew,” Jared said, taking a deep breath and whispering to the principal for a moment.
“Senior, I’m going to say something a little off topic. Is that okay?”
“That’s why I called you. Ibeka needs reform. And it’s better for an outsider to point that out than someone like me, an insider.”
At those words, Jared knew that he was not there simply as an examiner.
And you could clearly feel that your senior was really determined to reform Ibeka.
“I will take responsibility, so speak confidently.”
“Yes, senior.”
After receiving permission, Jared immediately opened his mouth again.
“Student Ron’s swordsmanship made good use of the swordsmanship unique to the greatsword. I could feel the power. Likewise, student Vilkas also had excellent magic. The rough feeling that is characteristic of fire magic is usually a disadvantage. It was impressive that he turned that disadvantage into an advantage. If he was this good at handling magic, he would have definitely gotten good grades at the academy.”
Jared paused for a moment.
“but.”
Everyone around him focused their attention on his mouth.
“This may be off-topic, but I think that the Academy’s grades are an added bonus. Everyone who attends the Academy should not aim to simply get high grades.”
Jared looked around and continued speaking forcefully.
“The Academy is a place for growth. It’s not just a place to get good grades. Vilkas’ magic was great, but those kinds of magics only get good grades inside the Academy, not outside.”
Everyone looked shocked at Jared’s words.
“On the other hand, Ron’s swordsmanship may not be highly regarded in the academy, but it is one that can be well-received outside of the academy. If it is put into actual combat, it will definitely be able to take the vanguard with its powerful force. It is not common for a swordsman to handle a great sword.”
Jared shrugged.
“Of course, I don’t think that many of the students here will be put into actual combat.”
It was natural for him to be the child of a high-ranking noble family.
“But for me, who experiences real combat every day, I am more drawn to Ron’s swordsmanship. If I were to choose my adjutant, I would choose Ron.”
As he said this, Jared gestured towards Ron.
The vice principal below took Ron’s hand and lifted him up.
“The winner of the second exchange is! Ron Bears!”
“Whaaaa …
“Lone Bears!”
“I knew you’d win! I knew you’d win!”
“I’m sorry I didn’t believe you! I’m sorry-!”
The students of the swordsmanship department were very excited.
“The department that won this exchange competition is the Department of Swordsmanship!”
2:0.
Even though Mason, who could be said to be the best, did not show up, he achieved a perfect victory in swordsmanship.
“Teacher Ethan-!”
“I definitely want to take your class next time!”
“Long live swordsmanship!”
The cheerleading squad from the swordsmanship department led the students and created a festive atmosphere.
“shit.”
The magic and the side were in a very gloomy state.
Duty in particular was shaking his hands.
The gazes from behind felt stinging.
But what bothered me the most, more than those stares, were Jared’s words.
Sure enough, Jared was right.
What he taught was only how to get good grades at the academy.
‘That’s not a bad thing. I just did what I could.’
Of course, I also knew that it wasn’t necessarily good for the students.
But I couldn’t help it. I had to get results.
If the students get excellent grades, then that will all be the teacher’s achievement.
From the beginning, Duty had no intention of staying as a teacher at this academy for long.
This is just a stepping stone.
That’s why I lost.
I had a good eye for students, but I didn’t have a teaching method that suited them.
“I’m sorry, sir. I’m truly sorry.”
Vilkas, who returned defeated, clenched his teeth. He tried to hold it in, but tears were falling from his eyes.
When he saw that, Duty’s mind went blank.
What have you been doing up until now?
When I saw Vilkas crying as if he was really angry, I felt like I had been hit in the head with a club.
“Bilkas.”
At first, duty wasn’t like this.
The inferiority complex that arose after attending Cloudy’s class made him like this.
“You did well. The problem was… … it was me. I treated you all badly.”
“No, sir. If you hadn’t maximized my strengths, I still wouldn’t have realized my talents. I’m truly sorry for not living up to your expectations.”
“no no…….”
What Jared said hit home painfully.
The academy’s grades are a visible indicator of effort. However, the essence that the academy should pursue is the growth of students. There is clearly growth that cannot be seen through grades alone.
Teachers have a responsibility to help their students grow.
Duty has abandoned its duty.
“It was my fault. I’ll do better next time.”
“Yes, teacher. I will try to do better.”
Vilkas wiped away his tears.
“Two teachers and students, please come up to the stage!”
Inter-departmental exchange program.
Although there were winners and losers, it was essentially a place for people to demonstrate their skills and interact with each other.
Six students and two teachers stood on the stage.
The noisy hall gradually became quiet.
“greeting!”
Students who showed good performance greeted each other.
The two teachers also approached each other and shook hands.
“To be honest, I found it a bit funny. But there was definitely a reason why you beat Mr. Cloudy and became the representative. Yuna and Ron, they were really great students who received a really great education.”
“Mr. Duty, you have a keen eye for students. On the other hand, I don’t have that ability.”
Completely unexpected words.
Duty couldn’t help but be surprised.
Because I never thought I would be praising myself.
“That great ability is something that no teacher in the academy can replicate. Even I, who was lucky enough to win today.”
Normally, it would have sounded like ridicule, but for some reason, Ethan’s words sounded like definite praise.
“We competed against each other today, but aren’t we Ibekah’s teachers? Today’s work is over today. I’m looking forward to the end of the year. If I can be on a team with such great teachers like Duty and Cloudy, I think I can beat Freya Academy.”
Today is the only day we face the enemy.
Duty blinked at Ethan’s words.
Today’s loss left me with very complicated feelings towards Ethan.
But these words blew away all my complicated thoughts. Ethan is not an enemy. He is an ally. He is a fellow teacher who will be with me in the upcoming academy exchange.
All the emotions that had been filling his head flew away.
“……yes.”
Duty smiled faintly. Then he sighed softly.
With a sigh, he let out all the thoughts he had been having.
My mindset has changed.
Cloudy and Ethan, who I thought were just competitors.
Now that I’m on the same team as these two in the Academy Exchange, I feel very secure thinking about it.
“i look forward to.”
Ethan smiled and said it again, and Duty tightened his grip on his hand.
“Yes, Mr. Ethan.”
