Episode 145. Proof
“Hey, are you sure you know everything? Don’t worry too much! You have plenty of time!”
Jared waved his hands in confusion.
Since he, as the head of the Inquisition, had personally brought Ethan, he thought that perhaps Ethan was obsessed with showing something that lived up to the expectations.
30 minutes? That was ridiculous.
It’ll be hard to read them all.
But Ethan just smiled and shook his head.
“That’s enough.”
It was such a boast because it was really enough.
‘It’s the textbook of the Inquisition. I already know a lot about it.’
When I played Mephan as a follower of the moon, I clashed with the Inquisition countless times.
In the process, I obtained the textbook of the Inquisition and also had the experience of stealing the uniform of an Inquisitor.
‘Of course, this textbook will be more accurate and detailed than that.’
So 30 minutes was enough.
It was hard for Jared to believe, but seeing Ethan’s expression, he couldn’t say anything else and ended up agreeing.
“Okay. I’ll be back in 30 minutes.”
* * *
“Are you here, Director?”
“Benjamin.”
Benjamin Rewright, Deputy Director of the Inquisition, greeted Jared.
“Did you get any results?”
“Achievements? They were overflowing. There were many great students.”
“I guess you were quite satisfied? So, did you make a proposal to Cloudy?”
“no.”
“It seems like you didn’t like it when you saw it in person. But aren’t we in a hurry right now?”
“That’s not it. I asked someone else, not Cloudy.”
Jared explained about the departmental exchange and Ethan.
“Ohhh.”
Benjamin’s face lit up after hearing the story. As Jared had explained, Ethan Wickers was a great educator, more than capable of teaching new inquisitors.
“however…….”
As Benjamin exclaimed in admiration, Jared’s expression hardened slightly.
“Why are you doing that?”
Even though they haven’t started teaching yet, I’m sure you’ll have less worries since you’ve brought in a highly qualified teacher.
Still, Jared’s expression wasn’t very good.
Was there any problem with the process of bringing it in?
“that is…….”
Jared explained what had just happened.
He said that when he gave them the textbook from the Inquisition and asked when they could start teaching, they said it would be possible in 30 minutes.
“Yes? About 30 minutes?”
Benjamin also looked puzzled by that absurd statement.
“Yeah, at first I thought you wanted three weeks, no, a month.”
“Of course, it takes about a month. It takes a long time just to read that thick textbook. And a month is not enough to understand and master it. Didn’t it take three months for the previous instructor to teach the basics to new recruits?”
Benjamin said incredulously.
It takes three months to teach a new interrogator the basics. So it wouldn’t be surprising if it took even longer to master this textbook.
If the teacher, Ethan Wickers, has great comprehension skills, it could be possible in a month or so… … .
“30 minutes is a bit much… … I can understand why your expression is so stiff.”
“Really? 30 minutes? That’s ridiculous.”
Benjamin nodded at Jared’s words.
“Perhaps they just skimmed through the textbook and wanted to check on the condition of the new interrogators before starting the training.”
“Probably so. I already told you that these new interrogators are rough.”
“Since the director brought him here himself, it’s probably strategic. Don’t worry too much. I’m sure Ethan has his own plan.”
“I guess so. We’ll move on for now since we’ll meet again later. What are their movements?”
In response to Jared’s question, Benjamin began to report step by step.
“Three teams have been deployed now. The sweeping is almost complete, and we just need to drag out and deal with those who are still holding out in the forest.”
“What’s there that makes you keep holding on?”
“They say there is a magic stone called a fragment of the moon.”
“A fragment of the moon?”
“Yes, it looks like a magic stone with quite a bit of mana condensed in it. I heard from the tribe in the nearby forest that it contains a special energy called the energy of the moon.”
“Are you trying to get that fragment of the moon?”
“Yes, the guys who are holding out now have it.”
“I’ll have to retrieve it. Once I get it, I’ll be able to track the movements and targets of the Moon Followers.”
As we received the report and discussed future plans, the 30 minutes passed by quickly.
“Let’s go together, Deputy Director Benjamin. If possible, try to talk Ethan into not feeling burdened.”
“Oh, yes, I understand.”
Benjamin was also quite curious about that Ethan Wickers. If the director brought him in instead of Cloudy because he was impressed by his skills, then he must be very talented.
Of course, it was a little strange to hear that it would only take 30 minutes, but I guess I’ll find out when I meet him in person.
* * *
“I’m ready.”
The room provided for Ethan was quite neat and spacious.
“Are you ready?”
Jared looked puzzled.
“Oh, first, let me introduce you to my friend over here. My adjutant and current deputy director of the interrogation bureau, Benjamin Lewright.”
“Hello, I am Benjamin Rewright, the Deputy Director. It is a pleasure to meet you, Ethan, who will be serving as our interrogation officer for a while.”
Benjamin held out his hand with a smiling face.
The first thing I noticed when I saw him was that Ethan Wickers was a much more handsome young man than I had expected.
Especially those hazy eyes.
It felt a bit weak.
Of course, I could feel the strength in his eyes, but it didn’t look as special as I had imagined.
“This is Ethan Wickers. It’ll be a short stay, but I’ll be looking forward to your help.”
Jared asked again, leaving the two holding hands behind him.
“What do you mean you’re ready?”
“It means I’m ready to teach new interrogators.”
“It’s been 30 minutes, as you said… … .”
Even if Jared had brought it himself, this was something that had to be addressed.
“I want to teach our new interrogators clearly and accurately. If I was going to teach them roughly, I wouldn’t have brought Ethan in myself.”
Jared said.
Ethan smiled at those words.
“Then let me first give you some training. Then, you will know, Director. I have mastered this manual and am ready to teach new interrogators.”
Ethan then looked at the deputy director.
“The Vice Director will also join us.”
* * *
A spacious training ground.
Ethan, Jared, and Benjamin stood on the training ground.
The director and deputy director were, frankly, embarrassed.
The two clearly thought that Ethan had not fully mastered the textbook.
It was obvious. How did you learn all that in 30 minutes?
30 minutes is not enough time even for simple reading.
But do you know it well enough to teach it to someone?
Either a genius or just a braggart.
In Jared’s eyes, Ethan was definitely the former, so he gave him the position of instructor.
But in this case, I had a slight suspicion that Ethan was the latter.
-How do I do this?
The deputy director asked in a quiet voice.
– Since I hired you as my instructor, I have no choice but to leave this training to you. However, if you are too enthusiastic and haven’t properly learned it, then unfortunately, we will have to find a new instructor.
It is not that it is not. Even if it inevitably leads to embarrassment, teaching new inquisitors is currently a very important task for the Inquisition.
Jared steeled himself.
“I’ll teach you as if you were a new interrogator.”
“Oh, yes, go ahead.”
“Newbie, from now on, all answers will be evil.”
“yes?”
bang-!
In an instant, a strong force spread out from the training ground floor.
Both Jared and Benjamin were amazed at the powerful force that spread just by rolling their feet.
“Without using mana… … .”
“answer.”
Ethan spoke emotionlessly. As if he were a different person, the atmosphere had completely changed.
The two, who had just realized the situation, shouted loudly.
“evil!”
“evil-!”
For some reason, it felt like it had to be that way.
“Take up your mace and show off your skills.”
At Ethan’s words, Jared raised his mace. Then he performed the basic basic bludgeoning technique written in the Inquisition’s manual.
The mace used in blunt weapons was heavy and delivered powerful blows with each strike.
Therefore, this blunt technique was made to accurately target vital points in order to ensure its power.
Boohoo-!
Start from the back of your hand.
Jared deliberately swung his mace like a novice interrogator.
Originally, you had to use your shoulder to make a large turn and hit accurately.
This way, we could maximize our attack power.
But just now, instead of rotating his shoulders into a circle, he simply swung the blunt weapon using only the strength of his arms.
Ethan saw Jared’s movements and grabbed the wooden sword placed in the corner of the training ground.
“again.”
As Jared swung his mace in the same manner as before, Ethan’s wooden sword moved at the same speed.
Knock-. Knock-.
As Ethan’s acupuncture skills became more mastered, his ability to correct was also greatly enhanced.
So it doesn’t matter if the opponent doesn’t lose strength.
Because if you poke the problematic area on your own, your posture will inevitably be corrected accurately.
“……uh?”
For a moment, Jared looked puzzled at that correction.
That move just now was a perfect swing, just as written in the textbook.
He used the centrifugal force of his shoulder to deliver an accurate blow to the desired location.
“What, what is this?”
Jared didn’t know.
How Ethan educates.
He simply knew that Ethan was an excellent educator from what his senior, Ghost Sword, had said and from seeing the students he had taught during the departmental exchange.
That’s why I was embarrassed.
Is it possible to educate in this way?
“Concentrate.”
Blunt techniques as described in the textbook.
That first movement was being reproduced precisely in his body.
“And keep going. Don’t stop.”
Jared continued to use his blunt skills as if possessed.
This time, the correction was made precisely at the same time as the blunt technique was deployed.
“Oh, that’s ridiculous.”
The deputy director was astonished as he watched Ethan correct Jared’s posture.
He also knows because he has been educated countless times.
“The textbook… … .”
Are you really saying you have memorized the entire textbook?
In 30 minutes?
Otherwise, there’s no way you could make him pose so perfectly!
I almost started to suspect that maybe Jared was deliberately striking this pose to push Ethan.
Benjamin looked at Jared.
Jared was even more surprised than Benjamin. His eyes kept twitching, and if that was acting, he could be ranked among the best actors on the continent.
“You really memorized the entire textbook.”
It’s not just something you memorize, it’s something you understand accurately.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to correct it so accurately.
Jared, who was trained by Ethan, felt it the best.
Jared stood up, unable to hide his surprise. He looked at his own hand holding the mace, then at Ethan.
“… … I was such a fool. I trusted your skills and personally invited you, Ethan, and now I doubt you like this. I really made a big mistake.”
Jared immediately lowered his head.
Benjamin, who had been blankly staring, also lowered his head.
“If you will forgive this rudeness, I ask you once more.”
“Please!”
In the minds of the two, they saw new interrogators who had received Ethan’s training and had become more advanced.
If Ethan trains them properly, they can be sent straight into battle against the Followers this month.
Ethan gestured to them to raise their heads, indicating that it was okay.
“I’ll try to make it properly.”
Ethan said.
“person.”
