Subscriber of the Gods Episode 146
Episode 146. Everyone, come at me.
The Errant Territory of the Inquisition Department.
32 Inquisitors were gathered in a large training hall.
These were the new Inquisitors selected through this Inquisitor recruitment.
Although they had been dispatched a couple of times since joining the Inquisition, they still had not yet lost their rookie status.
This was because they were thrown in without proper training and were unable to do their job.
As if to prove it, more than half of the 32 people were wearing bandages.
Still, everyone’s gaze was fierce.
There seemed to be quite a few who would be willing to throw their lives away and tear the Moon Followers apart if given the chance.
“I thought there wouldn’t be any dispatches for a while.”
“There are still many people who are injured.”
“Aren’t you planning to gather only the good guys and send them out again?”
“I wish that were true. Damn it, I came here for revenge. I need to send one more of these bastards to hell.”
The new inquisitors gathered together and tried to deduce the reason for the gathering.
But no one really knew.
Then a veteran inquisitor came in.
His hair was pure white, but his face looked like he was in his forties.
Letoma.
He was a veteran who had dealt with countless heretics, and he held a unique position within the Inquisition.
“Everyone, be quiet. It’s nice to see you again, sunflowers. I’ve called you together today because I have some very good news for you.”
“Good job, huh?”
“You’ve discovered the stronghold of the Moon Followers! Are you ready to go?”
“Half of them are injured, and you want me to deploy you right now? Do you want to kill them all?”
Letoma looked at the new recruits as if he was dumbfounded.
“I understand your desire, but if you don’t have the strength and just follow your convictions, it’s suicidal.”
“But aren’t we short on manpower? We’ll go and tear you to pieces. We don’t care if we die!”
Letoma shook his head at the moth-like appearance.
It’s good not to be scared, but you were too motivated.
The basic rule of the Inquisitor was not to die.
The mission was not to be martyred in the process of dealing with heresy, but to somehow return alive and spread the teachings of the Goddess Holy Light.
‘It’s hard to use it properly like this.’
We don’t need those who want to be arrow shields.
He had to select those who would survive long enough, like himself, to exert influence over the Inquisition in the future.
“You are still lacking. Originally, you should have been trained by an instructor, but unfortunately, the instructor retired, so you were not able to receive proper training.”
I pulled it out in a hurry and put it in in a hurry.
The result was as everyone knew.
“So this time, the director brought a proper instructor.”
Letoma said with a slight frown.
‘I was a bit uneasy when you said you were going to the academy.’
Although Jared was younger than Letoma, he was promoted to director due to his skills and fame.
Of course, his abilities were not lacking to take on the role of director, but in the eyes of veteran Letoma, there were too many shortcomings.
‘Can someone who teaches the young children of the Academy really become an instructor for the Inquisition?’
Letoma was extremely skeptical.
‘He said he wanted to bring students from the academy, make a good impression on them, and make them into future Inquisitors.’
Why on earth did you bring in a teacher from the academy as an instructor?
“New instructor… … ?”
“So now we can get a proper education?”
“Yes, you will be able to receive a proper education.”
Of course, Retoma didn’t think that the teachers at that academy would be able to provide proper education, but he thought it would be better than nothing.
“Oh oh……!”
“Who is coming?”
“Could it be the famous Black Panther these days?”
“Or is it the Holy Sword?”
“It could be the White Reaper. He’s the most famous person in our empire these days.”
“If you are coming as an instructor for the Inquisition, you must be someone with a great reputation. But can we receive training right away?”
Everyone started getting excited when they heard that a new instructor was coming.
“We know this because we’ve learned it ourselves. The Inquisition’s textbook is thick and difficult. You have to understand it all and practice it perfectly before you can teach us.”
“Well, then maybe a senior who has already retired could come?”
“The real senior might come.”
Everyone was anticipating and looking forward to the new instructor who would be coming.
“Do you know who is coming, Letoma?”
Letoma was silent for a moment.
“The director will be arriving soon with a new instructor. He is a current teacher at the famous Ibeka Academy. His name is Ethan Wickers.”
The expressions of the heretic inquisitors, who had been very excited by Letoma’s words, hardened.
“A teacher at the academy?”
“who?”
“Ethan Whickers, I’ve never heard of him before.”
“I mean, isn’t this a bit too much?”
“Which academy’s teacher came to be our interrogation bureau’s instructor?”
“We are not kids.”
“The person who teaches children is teaching us. Even if he is a teacher at a prestigious academy, that’s the case.”
The new inquisitors clicked their tongues and looked upon the new instructor with distaste.
It was natural. Most of the students attending prestigious academies are children of prestigious noble families. Most of them do not go to dangerous front lines.
Their education is superficial.
They don’t receive any proper practical training. They don’t receive any training at all about situations where one mistake can kill them or their colleagues.
Flowers in a greenhouse.
The academy’s students were the perfect fit for that description.
On the other hand, the Inquisition was wild. In order to survive in the wild, they had to receive thorough, practical training.
The practical experience that the students at the Academy were gaining was a life-threatening reality for the Inquisition.
But, a teacher from the academy who is excellent at teaching plants in such a greenhouse comes to be an instructor at the Inquisition?
This was ridiculous.
“Even though he is a teacher at a prestigious academy, I don’t think it’s right for him to come to our interrogation department as an instructor.”
The inquisitor with a scar on his face said.
Of all the gathered rookie interrogators, he looked the youngest, but had the most poisonous eyes.
“Alain, this is your choice, Director.”
Letoma spoke to the inquisitor, Alendar, who had a scar on his face.
In fact, there was a limit to what he could say, since all of this had already been decided by the director.
In the midst of a situation where discontent seems about to explode.
“The director is coming in.”
An interrogator entered first, along with the deputy director, and soon the head of the Inquisition, Jared, entered the training hall.
Letoma and the new heretic inquisitors focused on the person following him rather than the incoming director.
‘shit.’
As expected, the concerns became reality.
As soon as Letoma saw Ethan’s face, he cursed inwardly.
At least I hoped he was a strong person.
Now that we’ve brought them here, there’s no way we can do anything about it. If that’s the case, we should be able to educate these rough interrogators a little.
To do that, toughness was essential.
But Ethan showed no signs of strength at all.
“No one’s expression looks so good. Haven’t all their wounds healed yet?”
Jared said as he looked at the new interrogators. Letoma hurriedly went to Jared and whispered to him.
-Are you sure you brought the right person?
For Letoma, Jared was a junior in the Inquisition before he became the director. That was why he could talk to him a little more comfortably.
“Please trust me, Letoma.”
Jared put his hand on Letoma’s shoulder.
“Because I brought you properly.”
Jared formally introduced Ethan to the new Inquisitors, who were openly dissatisfied with the situation.
“This is Ethan Wickers, whom I have invited as my new instructor. Ethan will be your instructor for a short period of time.”
“This is Ethan Wickes.”
Ethan gave a brief greeting.
“Instructor Ethan is a teacher at the prestigious Ibeka Academy, which you all know very well. He is a very professional teacher.”
“Can a teacher who teaches children raised in a greenhouse really teach us?”
Then Alain de Lafayette raised his hand and said:
“You seem suspicious, Alain. Perhaps it’s not just Alain’s suspicions.”
The same was true for other new inquisitors.
“We are newcomers in the Inquisition, not outside.”
Although they were new recruits, they were all experienced people who had gained a lot of experience outside of the company. The new recruit label was already removed a long time ago.
Ethan looked at Jared for a moment, looking at the inquisitors who seemed ready to rush in at any moment.
“Can I be a little more aggressive?”
“Oh, yes, I will take responsibility. Please make sure of it!”
Ethan smiled at Jared’s permission.
Clearly, all of the new heresy inquisitors had field experience in their respective positions.
What this means is that there is no need to treat them like students.
‘Much better.’
Ethan stepped down from the stage and approached the Inquisitor at the front.
“It seems like everyone is unhappy with my coming.”
“Well, I guess I can’t really say I’m dissatisfied. I’m honored that you’ve come to teach us as a teacher from the Academy, but please remember that we’re not students. Do you really think you can teach us?”
‘This kind of attitude even though Jared is there.’
Ethan was originally someone Jared personally brought in. Whether he was an instructor at the academy or someone else, he was someone their superior personally brought in for your education.
Yet, there is not even an iota of politeness to be found.
‘You must have had a headache.’
I completely understood Jared’s feelings as he confided his worries to me.
Ethan examined the Inquisitors through the Eye of Horus.
Certainly, he had the skills to enter the Inquisition. Compared to the students, he certainly looked tough.
Everyone seemed to have a pretty decent amount of mana reserves.
‘It would have been quite difficult to handle originally.’
Mana is limited within the Academy.
Thanks to that, it was easy for Ethan, who had almost no mana due to extinction, to deal with the students.
But this is not the academy.
The mana of the new heretic inquisitors in front of him was incomparable to that of Ethan.
If you try to resist Ethan with that mana, you can do so.
Mana was that powerful a force.
‘But that was before the false acupuncture master.’
Ethan, who had mastered the art of false acupuncture, was stronger than before.
I decided that I could control these rough newbies just fine.
“The reason you don’t trust the instructor you saw is probably because of his skills, right?”
Ethan spread his arms.
Then, in an instant, he extended his hand to the heretic inquisitor standing in front of him. It was exactly where the blood was.
Swish-!
Ethan quickly created a needle and stabbed the blood vessel with precision. The new inquisitor, who was suddenly attacked, fell down.
“What is this… … !”
“Don’t treat me like a student? That’s exactly what I want to say right now. Don’t ask me later to be kind to you like you’re teaching me like a student.”
Ethan said.
“Everyone, come at me.”
