Subscriber of the Gods Episode 210
Episode 210. There’s no need to wait.
“Professor Kai, if we continue like this, we’re going to be in big trouble. We’re going to ruin the reputation that Freya Academy has built up over the past few years.”
Training ground 4.
In front of Kai were Lute and Harris.
Harris, one of Freya’s new teachers, had not yet attended class because he had not signed up for the morning class.
“How do you do this, Master Lute? I heard that even in Master Ramsdale’s swordsmanship class, the Ibeka Academy was overwhelmingly strong. First place went to Master Ethan, and second place went to Master Shiron.”
Lute clicked his tongue. In Ernest’s class, Ethan was first and Iris was second.
In fact, the morning classes were monopolized by Ibeka Academy.
Now all that was left were the afternoon classes.
Kai had also signed up for all three classes scheduled for the afternoon.
The afternoon classes began with Kensei’s class. Following that, there were the classes of the spirit knights Diaker and Legia.
Kai and Harris definitely need to make a mark in this class. That way, Freya has a higher chance of winning first place in this training session.
“Professor Kai?”
But Kai’s condition was strange.
He had an expression on his face, as if he was deeply thinking about something.
“teacher!”
“yes.”
Only then did Kai look at Lute.
“What the hell is going on? You’ve been acting strange since taking Mr. Eucalis’s class. Did you get so shocked by being pushed by Mr. Ethan? But Mr. Kai seemed to have lost his strength, didn’t he? I don’t know the details, but that’s how I felt!”
Lute looked at Kai earnestly.
Now, Freya’s number one position was entirely up to Kai. That monstrous teacher, Ethan Wickers, was an opponent they could never defeat on their own.
If there is a rival, it is only Kai Felix.
“I was shocked.”
Kai said quietly.
“Huh? What do you mean?”
“Surely… … you’re giving up?”
Kai shook his head at the two teachers’ words.
“I don’t know if I can get first place.”
At that moment, a tremendous presence emanated from Kai. Even Lute and Harris, who had been close friends with Kai for half a year, were surprised.
Is that really Kai in front of you right now?
Freya’s two new teachers looked at Kai with blank eyes.
“I’m going to try my best. You told me to pour it all out. So I have to pour it all out. Everything.”

I also gained quite a reputation in the classes taught by Master Ramsdale. The reputation I gained from attending the new teacher training course was quite a good one.
‘The rate at which fame is accumulating is faster than I thought. If this continues, I might be able to reach the fame level I was aiming for before the Academy Exchange.’
The only reason Ethan gained fame was to meet the Saint, and there was a special quest that was unlocked when a certain amount of fame was reached.
‘Once you reach a certain level of fame, you can proceed with quests that increase your chances of meeting the saint.’
One of them was the expedition quest.
‘I have to do the expedition quest right away when I get there.’
He currently had a good relationship with the Archbishop of the Holy Light Church and had connections with several branches.
‘If you have a good reputation, it will be easy to join the expedition.’
First of all, I planned to focus on gaining fame to the limit at this new teacher training course.
‘There are three classes left today.’
Among them, there were two core classes.
‘The swordsman’s lesson, and Legia’s lesson.’
The spirit knights are probably around the level of Diacre Eucalyptus or Ernest, so you can think of them lightly.
‘First of all, the swordsman’s class is important. I don’t know how the swordsman will conduct the class.’
But he was confident. It wasn’t difficult for Geomseong to take first place in any class he took.
The gap between me and other teachers was so large that I felt like I didn’t need to assume any variables.
‘The difference in level is already too big.’
Even Kai Felix was no exception.
None of the teachers who received this new teacher training could compare to Ethan. If they were going to compete in ability, they had to be representative teachers of each academy, not new teachers.
This was also the case for lecturers invited to the training session.
Eucalyptus, Ernest, and Diacre were all famous teachers, but it was safe to say that Ethan had nothing more to learn from them.
In fact, there were only two people Ethan could expect to be taught by at the moment.
‘It would be around the level of Black Star and Legia. If I were to learn something now, that is.’
Ethan cleared Mephan several times. And the last time he cleared it, he was also trained by Legia.
To that extent, Legia’s skills were great. He was so great that even Ethan couldn’t measure the end, so this time, he really wanted to learn everything about Legia.
“Teacher Ethan!”
“You should eat lunch!”
Shiron and Iris, who had attended the morning class together, approached me. Their expressions were very good. It was natural since they had each come in second place after Ethan in the morning class.
This gave Ibeka an advantage in this new teacher training.
I still had three afternoon classes left and a practical exam on the last day, but I was off to a great start.
“Everyone’s eyes are sharp, teachers? You must have done well!”
Haru and Nadia, who were resting in preparation for their afternoon classes, also came to see Ethan.
Haru clapped quietly.
“I never thought I’d get applause from Mr. Har.”
Iris nodded, seemingly impressed.
“Your gaze is a bit harsh.”
Siron said that and laughed.
“You should enjoy it now. It’s going to be like this throughout the training.”
Ethan said as he walked ahead. The four teachers followed Ethan into the cafeteria.
There were several teachers eating in the cafeteria, and they started to glance around furtively as Ibeka’s teachers entered.
There were many other people in the restaurant besides the teachers, and they were all wearing the same clothes.
As Ethan looked at them, Siron opened his mouth.
“The Ramsdale branch members have worked hard in many ways to prepare for this training session.”
The Ramsdales were a family with clearly separate main and branch lines.
However, there was no discrimination because the main house and the branch house were separated.
Of course, there was a hierarchy among the members of the branch family, but the main family did not interfere to that extent.
“Is that person also a branch person?”
“Huh? Oh, no.
Among the people wearing the same clothes, there was one person who particularly caught my eye.
A person who moves differently from others who show similar strides and movements.
Previously, I might have just passed it by, but in Waryong City, his unusual movements caught my eye.
‘It’s so familiar.’
“Perhaps you have come to help. Looking closely, you are the leader of the guards in charge of guarding the castle.”
Shiron, who could confirm the other person’s identity just by looking at their face, looked at Ethan and asked.
“Do you know anyone? Or did that person make a mistake with Mr. Ethan…?”
“no.”
The security guard was helping out in the restaurant, glancing around here and there. It was a very natural movement, but Ethan could clearly see it.
‘Looking for someone.’
Looking closely, I saw that they were checking everyone who came into the restaurant.
Meanwhile, three new teachers entered the restaurant.
There were three teachers at Freya Academy.
Lute, who had been attending Ernest’s class with Ethan in the morning, was startled when she saw Ethan. It seemed that the shock from the morning class had not yet subsided.
Harris also felt a great deal of pressure towards Ethan just from hearing the story.
I was surprised by Eucalyptus’s class, but after hearing Lute’s story, Ethan felt incredibly big.
It was a huge presence based on skill.
‘what.’
Ethan turned his gaze away from Freya’s three teachers.
The security chief, who had been glancing around here and there, saw Kai Felix and moved differently than before.
‘I was looking for Kai Felix. Why?’
After checking Kai, he naturally stuck something on the restaurant wall. He clearly stuck something, but there was nothing left on the wall.
But when he put it on, he felt a familiar aura. It was an aura that Ethan knew very well.
‘That’s that Moon Follower, right? There was a reason his movements were so familiar.’
“Mr. Shiron, there’s this guy called the security chief. He’s not a member of the branch, but if he works here, I guess his status is certain.”
“Oh, don’t worry! I’m not acquainted with him, but I’ve met him a few times and I know him.”
He said he was in charge of security, so it seemed like they had met a few times and were familiar with each other.
“Don’t worry. The identity of the person is certain!”
“okay.”
‘He’s been infiltrating for quite some time. He must be at least the second… … or maybe the first.’
But something was strange.
‘If you’re the guard leader, you can open and close the gates as much as you want. To fulfill that role, you shouldn’t be here, but on the wall side.’
However, he was in a restaurant where it was difficult to utilize his identity, and he was even being looked at suspiciously by Kai Felix.
‘The original goal was probably to become a blacksmith.’
Ethan wasn’t sure if the Moon Follower raid he knew would happen during this new teacher training.
This was because he had killed two apostles and had also destroyed the plans of the Moon Followers on several other occasions.
‘There are raids. But they aren’t targeting the Black Sword.’
Contrary to what Ethan had known, the purpose of the raid was not the Sword Master.
‘Are you after Kai Felix? Why?’
At that moment, the thought of Prochesht popped into Ethan’s mind.
‘Is it related to Prochesht?’
The Prochechts were a family directly related to the Felix family.
‘If I hadn’t saved Prochesht, Prochesht would have received a lot of help from the Felix family and would have effectively become a vassal family.’
There was definitely a quest during the branch point to prevent Prochesht from becoming a vassal family.
The Felix family was not the axis of evil, but it was a family that had an ambiguous position within the Twelve Stars.
Because of that, I wanted to expand my influence a little more, and the result was absorbing Prochesht.
‘Even if it’s a dead land, it’s a family with a long tradition, so there’s no harm in swallowing it up.’
But Prochesht is no longer a dead land. Rather, its scale has been expanded through collaboration with the Wickus Estate.
‘The followers of the moon who were targeting the Felix family have turned in a different direction.’
If so, it was most important to figure out why they were targeting the Felix family.
‘It doesn’t seem like they’re trying to kill Kai Felix, but rather kidnap him.’
Ethan thought for a moment, recalling everything he could remember about the Felix family.
Then suddenly a piece of information came to mind.
‘Holy relic.’
The Felix family has an underground treasure vault, and it was once rumored that there were holy relics there.
Soon after the rumor spread, the treasure vault was robbed and all the treasures inside, including the holy relics, were lost.
‘At first, I wondered how I got into the treasure vault. It wasn’t just any ordinary treasure vault.’
It took a lot of work to get there, and it was quite cumbersome and complicated.
Even Ethan, who had raided quite a few treasure vaults, would pass on the Felix family’s treasure vault.
‘So you ate the Procheshute and used it to get in?’
Now I feel like the puzzle is finally coming together.
‘Are you planning to kidnap Kai Felix and demand ransom in the form of the Holy Relics or the numerous treasures in the underground treasure vault?’
Ethan frowned slightly. But that didn’t seem right.
‘There’s a possibility that Rohai Felix or one of Felix’s key figures may be kidnapped.’
I know full well the ways of the Moon Followers.
‘One more there.’
Kidnapped in the middle of a new teacher training session hosted by Geomseong?
‘The reputation of the Black Swordsman will also be tarnished. The Black Swordsman is not the type of person to tolerate such things easily. He will find that villain somehow and go to him himself to make him pay the price.’
That may be the real goal of the Moon Followers.
‘A group of waterways that can handle two goals at once.’
Ethan, who had quickly figured out the situation, began eating naturally.
‘I came to check on Kai Felix today, so I’m sure he’ll be busy at dawn.’
In that case, there is no need to step forward right away. If you move recklessly, you may be suspected instead.
“It’s fortunate that you are a person whose identity is confirmed.”
“Don’t worry. If there’s anything that’s inconvenient, please let me know. I’ll make sure to tell you right away so I can fix it!”
Siron said with a smile.
* * *
There were about 30 minutes left until class.
Ethan, who had left his fellow teachers saying he had something to do, was standing in front of a room door.
‘We’ve confirmed the performance of Waryongsi. Then there’s no need to wait for it to come from that side.’
smart-.
Ethan knocked on the door.
“Ethan Wickers. Are you in there? I came here to talk to you, despite my rudeness.”
The door was decorated with a plaque with the name engraved in beautiful gold.
[Legia Malcher]
Crunch-.
As Ethan took a small step back, the door began to open slowly.
