… … .

Ethan achieved a total of ten achievements.
The most likes I got were 5, but since other achievements also got likes, I ended up getting a lot more likes than I expected.
A total of 26 likes.
This was the result of attending all classes and taking first place in the training session.
‘It’s not easy to get first place in a training session.’
This was a reward for taking first place in both my personal and academy performances. Just seeing the notification of my achievement made me laugh.
-Your fame will rise!
Also, his fame has risen considerably.
“As I promised earlier, I will give a prize to the academy that wins first place at this training session. There will also be a prize for the teacher with the highest individual score, so don’t forget to get it!”
The teachers looked at Ethan with great envy.
But everyone was nodding, as if they understood that Ethan deserved the reward.
Ethan attended every class during the retreat, so there wasn’t a single teacher who didn’t know how great he was.
Moreover, Ethan showed overwhelming skills in every class.
There is no room for gossip.
“Congratulations, Mr. Ethan.”
Even Kai Felix, who had been considered a rival until before the training camp, was sincerely congratulating Ethan.
“congratulations.”
“Congratulations!”
Freya’s teachers no longer showed any sense of competition. Instead, they congratulated each other, seemingly trying to build a friendship with Ethan.
They have only been teachers for half a year, so even though they are very skilled, they are still just new teachers.
‘It certainly helps to have allies in several academies. As word of my accomplishments spreads, they will help spread the word further.’
The result will be another rise to fame.
Make them friendly or neutral. As always, Ethan’s strategy was to increase his reputation and increase his chances of survival.
‘There’s no need to make unnecessary enemies.’
“Thank you so much.”
Ethan was the first to shake hands with the teachers at Freya Academy.
Freya Academy has been hostile to Iveca throughout this training session.
And yet, you reached out first.
Freya’s teachers’ cheeks turned red.
If you were in the same situation, would you do what Ethan did now?
“I am truly honored to have met such great teachers through this training session.”
“No… … That’s what we want to say, Mr. Ethan.”
“I hope to see you again!”
Freya’s teachers held Ethan’s hand and shook it repeatedly.
The teachers from Goode and Covington, who had been watching with bated breath, also approached quietly.
“I am truly sorry.”
Finally, I shook hands with Ethan at Dubravka of Good Academy. Ethan became a role model for the new teachers at the Academy through this training session.
Cloudy made a strange expression at that sight.
“What on earth are you guys doing… … !”
Overt was amazed at the friendly appearance of the new teachers.
They were defeated overwhelmingly by Ethan and Ibekah Academy.
I’m so angry and gnashing my teeth that it’s not enough, but instead, he’s wagging his tail and trying to build a friendship.
“Don’t you have any pride?”
“That’s a much smarter thing to do.”
“what?”
“We are teachers who have the same goal, except that we belong to different academies. We are just new teachers who went from being competitors at the training session to being the same new teachers. We are not enemies, nor are we someone to show off our pride.”
“… … Another such idealism.”
“You’ll know when you experience it.”
Cloudy spoke briefly and then turned away.
Overt couldn’t understand Cloudy at all.
Since when did Cloudy become so idealistic?
“shit.”
Overt saw Ethan surrounded by everyone.
“You want to become a master in the shortest time? That’s ridiculous. I’ll let you know for sure at the Academy Exchange.”
I wanted to make it clear to you that idealism is meaningless without solid skills.

“It failed. There must have been no reason for it to fail.”
The Black Sword and Legia were not enemies to be ignored.
But this plan was definitely going to succeed if it caught their attention.
It didn’t have to be a long-term distraction. If they could just grab their attention for a little while, it was a plan that the executives, including the First Order, could quickly deal with.
So I used the powerful card I had in my hand. It was a card I was saving for later, but I didn’t mind using it if I could get the relic.
“The amount of money and time that went into creating this pack was enormous.”
It was a pattern that took a long time to make. As such, the device was able to cover Legia’s eyes with certainty.
“You clearly said you kidnapped Kai Felix.”
We have already secured Rohai Felix. We have also received reports that Kai Felix has been secured and is on his way back.
However, not only Kai Felix, but even Rohai Felix, who was acquired first, did not come into his possession.
Not only did he lose his spleen, he also lost his officers and the First Order that had been deployed to Ramsdale Territory.
“Where did it get twisted? There’s no way the swordsman could react this quickly. Is it Legia Malcher? Or… … .”
The nine apostles were in a very uncomfortable state.
I never thought this plan would fail.
But the plan that was supposed to succeed suddenly went awry.
As he was looking through the list of new teacher training students in search of clues, he came across a familiar name.
“Ethan Wickes.”
It was the name I had seen during the raid on Ibeka Academy that had been carried out previously.
“Is it a coincidence? Or… … .”
The nine apostles didn’t think too deeply about it anymore. What was important now was to somehow obtain the holy relics.
“I guess I should go to the Felix family myself.”
This had to be dealt with properly from the start.
“If the other apostles’ eyes are drawn this way, it may be taken away.”

“I will formally teach my Mana training method to the teachers of Ibeka Academy, which won first place. I’m sure everyone will agree to teaching the Mana training method. I’ll also give them whatever weapons they want.”
The magic faculty teachers showed anticipation when the swordsman said he would give them one of the weapons he had in his possession.
Numerous weapons that passed through the hands of the Sword Master. Many of them were famous swords worthy of the name of their owner, the Sword Master.
It may seem like a wizard doesn’t need a sword, but it was a different story when it passed through the hands of a swordsman.
It can be used as a sword or as a substitute for a staff.
Instead of a sword, you can receive a dagger that a swordsman used. Even if you are a wizard, there will always be times when you need a blade.
“yes!”
“Yes! None!”
The new teachers of Ibeka Academy drank tea in a place specially prepared by the sword master. Now it was time for rewards.
Everyone’s face was filled with excitement at the thought of learning the sword master’s mana training method.
Of course, Ethan was an exception.
“Your Majesty, I would like to receive a reward other than the Mana Training Method.”
“Do you want to receive other compensation?”
“yes.”
The other teachers looked puzzled at Ethan’s words. Siron in particular looked very surprised.
Since Siron had already learned the Mana training method of the Black Sword, he knew very well that the Mana training method was amazing.
“Professor Ethan… …? This Mana Training Method is truly incredible!”
Ethan smiled and replied to that.
“I know. But there’s something more I want from you, Your Majesty.”
“Hmm, you want something more than my Mana Training Method? I’m really curious. Tell me, Master Ethan. What do you want from me?”
Geumseong looked quite expectant.
“Please open a swordsmanship school in the Wickus estate.”
“huh?”
Ethan’s words, which completely shattered expectations, made a gesture as if asking Geomseong to say it again.
“I would like you to open a swordsmanship school in the Wickus territory in the name of your Majesty. The scale can be as large as you wish. I would like our Wickus Knights to be able to register in that swordsmanship school.”
If you openly ask him to be your supporter, Geomseong will be greatly disappointed.
‘Of course not. Black Star owes me quite a bit.’
But this approach was much more pleasing to the eye than outright asking for protection.
‘And we also need to raise the power of the Wickus Territory. Even if we simply form an alliance, the Sword Masters may not be able to respond flexibly in sudden situations.’
For example, what if something like the recent Kai Felix kidnapping incident happened?
There may be a situation where you are one step behind in responding to an urgent situation.
Isn’t that like locking the barn door after the horse has bolted?
So, the best thing to do was to make it possible for him to continue his relationship with the Black Sword and share that power.
“Hahahahahahahaha-! I didn’t know you’d ask for that kind of compensation!”
“If it is a burden, I will tell you again about compensation limited to me personally.”
“No, no. A swordsmanship class. Sounds good. It’s especially fun to hold one in your territory. I’ve heard stories about it many times. That your territory is developing into a unique item. Sounds good. Let’s do that, Master Ethan. Your reward is a swordsmanship class!”
Geomseong readily accepted Ethan’s offer.

“See you in a month!”
“How are you all doing?”
After the training session, each of Ibeka’s teachers left for their respective destinations to make the most of the remaining vacation.
This training session was a great stimulus for them.
Ethan also moved around diligently after parting ways with his teachers.
There were many things to do during the remaining vacation, but two things had to take priority.
One of them was going to the palace.
‘Because I unexpectedly ended up developing a good relationship with Legia.’
If you go to the palace, you can meet Legia’s son who was cured by the saint.
‘There may be traces of extinction left. If we look at them, we may be able to find out how the saint treated it.’
There is a glimmer of hope that we might get some hints on how to cure extinction.
And above all, there were princes and princesses.
‘There are also several events where you can accumulate achievements.’
Of course, if you’re not careful, you could end up in the palace with your nose pierced.
There was talk that Ethan, who had to go here and there right away, might not be able to leave the palace.
‘But I can build connections within the palace. It’s a risk worth taking.’
The reason Legia was able to be called the first Master and wield such powerful influence was all thanks to the protection of the Imperial Palace.
‘The palace’s connections will be of great help in case of trouble with the Twelve Stars or the Magic Empire.’
“See you at the palace, Lady Legia.”
“Okay, I’ll be waiting.”
Ethan’s next destination was the palace.

As the vacation began, students from various academies returned to their hometowns.
“What, what is this?”
Nathan Wickers, the divine of Freya Academy and the only hope for the remote Wickers Estate, also returned home after a long time.
And now, Nathan was standing at the entrance to the mansion, looking bewildered.
“What the heck is this?”
No matter how I looked at it, this wasn’t the Wickus territory I knew.
“Did I take the wrong path? Am I just too tired from the semester?”
Nathan shook his head strongly.
“Hey, aren’t you Master Nathan?”
Then the guard at the entrance pretended to know Nathan.
“It’s been a while, my lord!”
It was certain. This was definitely Wickus’ territory.
