Episode 197. It’s Already Started
Ethan Wickers of Ibeka Academy.
And Kai Felix of Freya Academy.
Dubravka, who had entered the Good Academy as a new student at the same time, had heard a lot about these two people.
Although no one said it out loud, it was a well-known fact that these two were the most capable new teachers this year.
That’s why I became curious about the two of them. I was really curious about how much of a difference there was in their skills.
I was very curious about their educational methods, but also their actual ability to implement the education.
‘My prediction was right.’
Dubravka felt confident as he looked at Ethan standing before him.
You also have a chance.
Here, I will knock Ethan out and raise the name of Goode Academy high at the new teacher training.
‘Maybe Kai Felix is just a rumored scoundrel.’
Dubravka chuckled.
“Are you scared? But it’s too late. I will never let you off. I will just stand by and watch someone insult my academy. No student will seek instruction from someone like you.”
“Your tongue is long.”
“This arrogant guy… … He’s from a local noble family, so he doesn’t understand me at all. Okay, good. You go first!”
Most of those in the restaurant followed the two outside to watch the duel.
Those outside also heard the news of the duel and stood from a distance to watch.
With so many people standing at a distance from the two of them, a sparring ground was naturally formed.
People were looking forward to the duel between the two with excitement. Among them, Ethan’s name was mentioned here and there.
Although Dubravka wasn’t that famous, rumors about Ethan Wickers were spreading far and wide.
“I heard that you are also friendly with the Inquisition. I heard that you train new inquisitors like veterans.”
“Wow, that must have been harder than teaching students. Then doesn’t that mean your skills are real?”
“But you wouldn’t know, right? Education and your own ability are two separate things.”
Everyone waited with anticipation for the two to begin their duel.
Dubravka glanced at the teachers on Ibeka’s side.
The teachers who appeared to be the leaders seemed determined to give up on this training.
Perhaps this is something that new teachers have to go through.
The teacher, who was giving me an intense look, seemed to think the same way.
‘That scary looking guy must be Cloudy Hyde. He’s definitely good enough to become a Master in the shortest time.’
In any case, if those three did not intervene in the sparring, the odds of winning were definitely in their favor.
Dubravka was looking to take all the credit out of Ethan Wickers in this fight.
If you win, you get everything.
If I lose, things will get worse, but if I think about losing, I can’t do anything.
“come!”
Dubravka, drawing her sword, gestured to Ethan.
Ethan swung his sword without even drawing it.
Dubravka smiled at the sight of her as if she was being swung by a sword.
How ridiculous did you think you were to come out with such skills?
The expressions of the onlookers frowned as they saw Ethan swing his sword with its sheath.
But teachers, including Shiron, didn’t seem to have any particular concerns.
Harman, who was not familiar with Ethan’s abilities, just looked slightly embarrassed.
“I will make you pay the price.”
Dubravka unleashed his swordsmanship on Ethan, who was rushing forward without thinking. It was a very gentle swordsmanship, and the opponent would be badly wounded without even realizing that he was being cut.
Pfft-!
“100 million!?”
But things didn’t go as he had expected.
Ethan quickly dug into Dubravka and then showed a movement completely opposite to before.
He aimed precisely at Dubravka’s shoulder and stabbed the scabbard into it.
Dubravka groaned as she was stabbed in the shoulder. She felt great pain, but at the same time, she felt a moment of confusion.
“What, what, Wh, what’s going on… … .”
I tried to step back in confusion, but Ethan approached me faster than I could. Dubravka frowned and used his swordsmanship.
But this time it was the same. Ethan dodged Dubravka’s sword and swung his scabbard again.
“Ugh!”
Ethan poked Dubravka’s shoulder and waist again. Then his shoulder went in and his waist turned more flexibly than before.
Something was strange. Ethan’s attack was changing his posture.
Even though Ethan looked like he was nothing special, Dubravka was able to realize it with those two attacks just now.
The difference in skill is too big.
But what was even more shocking was what Ethan said next.
“Flowingly and smoothly. It’s a sword technique that counters strong and fierce attacks with softness, but it’s too stiff. It doesn’t even know how to use mana properly.”
“You’re teaching me? You’re bringing me here… …?”
This type of education was unheard of, but now that he was experiencing it himself, Dubravka was extremely confused.
Ethan swung his sword with deliberate force.
Dubravka is not his student. Rather, he is his competitor at the training camp.
Of course, it doesn’t seem like it will be a proper competition.
Ethan used his bone muscle control appropriately and corrected his posture one by one.
Pfft! Pfft!
Every time Dubravka swung his sword, Ethan’s scabbard would fly in one after another. After about five stabs, Dubravka’s swordsmanship had completely changed.
Only then did the onlookers begin to notice that this was no ordinary duel.
“What is that? What are you doing?”
“What are you doing?”
“Are you correcting my posture right now?”
Unlike before, the onlookers were greatly surprised by Dubravka’s appearance, which seemed to be dancing.
It was clear. Ethan was correcting Dubravka’s posture.
“Is that possible?”
“You’re correcting my posture by poking me like that? That would only be possible if there was a huge difference in skill. No, even if there was a difference in skill, would you be able to do that?”
“Even though we’re the same teachers, he can correct your posture like that. The rumors weren’t exaggerated!”
The expressions of the companions accompanying Dubravka hardened greatly.
But that was only for a very short time.
“and…….”
Ethan’s skills were truly awe-inspiring.
They were also the same teachers. Just by watching a swordsmanship once, I could see how difficult and great it was to identify the problems and correct the wrong posture.
And to think that he could correct your posture during a duel like that.
It was an educational method I had never heard of or seen before.
Swish-.
Shiron snorted, feeling strangely pleased by the sight.
“I thought you’d all be surprised, didn’t I?”
“… … I can’t show you how to make potions here.”
Iris sighed in regret. Ethan is not only good at swordsmanship, but also has great magical skills.
It was such a shame that I couldn’t show it to you.
It was unfortunate that the deans of the departments were the same.
“Ugh… … .”
“As expected, Professor Ethan is the pride of our knight department.”
“Ugh… … .”
Since magic could not be shown at all in this duel, the Dean of the Magic Department who was watching was also very disappointed.
Pfft-!
Dubravka, stabbed once more by Ethan’s scabbard, put down her sword and retreated.
“Ugh… … Ugh… … .”
The area where I was stabbed was extremely painful. In addition, my whole body was drenched in sweat because I swung the sword with all my might.
However, his expression was more subdued than before.
If you have a certain level of skill, you wouldn’t feel jealous and hateful.
There was no point in further sparring. There was only one thing he could do at this point.
“I’m sorry… … I could have just let it go like Mr. Ethan said… … I was being rude for no reason.”
Then he bowed deeply and apologized.
“Okay, I know. But it’s not entirely your fault, so don’t blame yourself.”
Ethan said, lightly putting his sword back on.
“Those gamblers, they’re not real gamblers.”
* * *
Three men gathered in the office that Geomseong had temporarily prepared.
“Ethan Wickes’ talent is real.”
“It was amazing. I thought this training session was Kai Felix’s one-man show, but Ethan Wickers’ skills are extraordinary.
“On the other hand, teachers at Good Academy tend to be emotional.”
One of them, wearing a monocle, sat at a fancy table, sorting parchments.
The other two were reporting on their knees; they were the gamblers who had caused the disturbance in the restaurant.
“Hmm, really?”
The man with the monocle who was handed the parchment looked at the report material.
It was only for a short while that he read the content at a fast pace. From the middle part onwards, he squinted his eyes and read the content repeatedly.
“Is this correct?”
“Yes, we couldn’t believe it the whole time we were watching it, but it’s definitely true.”
The one-eyed man was impressed. The parchment had information that Ethan had trained Dubravka, a fellow teacher at the Good Academy.
That too during a duel.
“So you’re saying that you controlled the opponent’s movements by stabbing them with your sword and made them take different movements?”
“Yes, it is said to be the same teaching method as usual at the academy.”
“Dubravka was planning on just knocking out Ethan Wickers?”
“Yes, even with that kind of mindset, I moved thoroughly according to Ethan’s intentions.”
That means Ethan Wickers’ skill level is way above Dubravka’s.
“Ibekah’s teachers and leaders who were waiting behind also just watched, trusting Ethan Wickers.”
He has outstanding skills to the point of teaching other teachers, and he is even trusted by his fellow teachers.
“Hmm, if things go on like this, the young master will be buried.”
“We just wrote it down as we saw it, General.”
The one-eyed man was the head of the Remsdale family.
“I bet His Majesty would like it.”
He is the direct subordinate of the swordsman who handles all the major and minor affairs of the Remsdale family, and this training session was also being conducted through his hands.
Originally, Sir Ron Ramsdale was supposed to be featured prominently in this workshop, but he decided not to get involved.
It was because of the sword master’s orders.
“I was worried something might happen when you went to Ibeka, but fortunately, you came back without any problems. I wondered why, and it was because of this Ethan Wickers.”
It is true that at first, I looked at it with an unfavorable gaze because it was a situation where the expectations of the family were being pushed back in many ways.
But the more I heard about Ethan Wickers, the more amazed I was by his skills.
With this level of skill, it was natural for the poem to be pushed aside.
“This time I can see it with my own two eyes.”
“There… there’s one more thing I have to report.”
“Additional report? What is it?”
“It seems Ethan Wickers has seen through our identities.”
“You seem to have seen through it? You guys, have you been caught by Lord Shiron?”
“Absolutely not. Sir Shiron did not recognize us.”
The expression on the man receiving the report became serious.
“Details.”
“It’s just a feeling, but they’ve been watching our every move from the beginning. I don’t think they saw us as ordinary gamblers from the beginning.”
It was all just a feeling, but so far this feeling has rarely been wrong.
The guess became certain when Ethan intentionally let out his breath.
“They deliberately made it seem as if they had figured out our true identity.”
“Oh my.”
The man smiled brightly at those words.
“I guess you have the skills to talk about your big ambitions as reported.”
I heard that after being confirmed as the new head teacher at Ibeka Academy, you declared that you would become a master within a year.
In addition, he even said that he would take back the number one spot from Freya.
“But this year Freya has Kai Felix.”
He glanced at the dossier on Kai Felix that had come up a few hours ago.
The training session had already begun. That’s why there were already some of Black Knight’s subordinates disguised as gamblers at Freya Academy.
According to reports, Kai Felix also figured out the gamblers’ identities and got through the situation very smoothly.
“But you weren’t very proactive. I think there must have been a change of heart… … This training session will be fun.”
The director wrote down the scores for the entrance exam for this training session.
There were only two people who received high scores of 90 points or more.
Kai Felix 95 points.
And Ethan Whikus 100 points.
