Subscriber of the Gods Episode 308
Episode 308. In preparation for the exchange program
“I guess I’ve been too fancy about things that you both probably already know. To sum it up, I’m suggesting that the three of us teachers join forces and prepare an academy exchange program where we can interact with each other without discrimination between students.”
As soon as Ethan finished speaking, Duty nodded willingly.
“Please do so. I have thought about this many times, but I am ashamed to say that I was against it. But now I feel like I can look around a little. It is as you said, Mr. Ethan. We should not lose sight of the important and say that other things are important.”
Duty smiled brightly.
Then Cloudy said.
“That’s a great idea.”
“I didn’t know you would compliment me.”
“… … How do you see me, Mr. Ethan?”
“I was looking at it a little cold-bloodedly.”
“… … .”
Cloudy’s expression hardened into a cold, indifferent expression.
“By the way, Mr. Ethan. Are those four really all of Mr. Ethan’s students?”
Including the newly arrived Roanna, the existing Mason, Yuna, and Ron, these four were currently Ethan’s favorite disciples.
“Are you thinking of adding one more person?”
‘As expected, you’re quick-witted.’
“Yes, I would like to add one more person to the list if possible.”
“No way. Mr. Ethan, right?”
“If you can think of one student right now, you’re right. It’s that student.”
“her!”
Duty shook his head with a surprised expression.
The student was a problem child among problem children.
“I heard the story. You completely discouraged him in the first class. But he’s not the type of student to give up just because of that.”
“I know that too. But talent is all that matters. It’s quite difficult to give that talent the impetus to blossom.”
Ethan said forcefully.
“If you have talent, you should let it bloom. Even if there are many obstacles.”
Duty sighed at Ethan’s words.
“We will modify it and use it. And the process will be very interesting. Because the two teachers already know what kind of student Oz Razor is.”
Duty looked uneasy as Ethan confidently talked about his plans to remodel Oz.
He thought that even the best Ethan in the world would have a hard time this time. Oz Razors was a student that was simply beyond his ability to handle.
“You can send it to me if you need it, Mr. Ethan.”
But Cloudy trusted Ethan’s plan.
“Since Mr. Ethan has decided that it can be modified, I will give it a try.”

150 students.
And the first class.
Ethan’s Introduction to Practical Learning has had a huge impact since its first class.
“Teacher Ethan’s class is crazy!”
“No, we only had orientation, right? We haven’t even had the actual classes yet, right?”
“You showed me for a bit. You know, Oz Razors? That troublemaker.”
“I know. But did he go back to school?”
“Oh. Not only did I return to school, but I somehow signed up for Mr. Ethan’s class and got in!”
All the students talked about Ethan’s introduction to practical studies.
In particular, the story that was on their lips was about the return of Oz Razors and Ethan’s response.
“Then the class would have been ruined. He’s a genius.”
Even in Ibeca, a land full of geniuses, he is a genius that stands out.
Oz Razor had a talent for ruining any class he was in, and his behavior made him unpopular with many of his teachers.
“No, I was thoroughly trained by Mr. Ethan. He explained to Oz about the practical introduction course that will be taught this second semester.”
“Against Oz?”
“Even Oz used his own sword. You know, that dull real sword.”
“Teacher Ethan uses a wooden sword?”
“And yet you say he was overpowered? Well, it does sound strange now that I think about it. Of course it’s natural for a teacher to overpower a student… … but Oz crossed that line.”
“Wow… … That Oz was completely subdued.”
“I heard that Mr. Ethan has gotten a lot stronger since the first semester?”
Meanwhile, on the other side, this story was going around.
“Teacher Ethan worked so hard for us during the holidays!”
“I heard you won first place by an overwhelming margin during the new teacher training?”
While various stories were circulating.
The next morning.
Students and teachers all gathered in a large auditorium.
“During this vacation, our Iveca new teachers went to a training session. Several academies participated in the training session, and thankfully, the Master of the Sword led the training session. A total of four academies participated in this new teacher training session, and many promising new teachers participated. Freya’s Kai Felix, who you all know well, also participated.”
A few students murmured at the mention of Kai Felix.
“That Kai Felix?”
“They say she’s an amazing teacher at Freya Academy.”
“You participated in this training session.”
“Wow, our Ibeka beat that teacher Kai Felix and won?”
“Our Ibeka Academy won the competition with excellent results at a training session with such great teachers!”
The students all looked surprised at the principal’s words.
“Forward to new teachers!”
Ethan, Shiron, Iris, Nadia, and Har, who had attended the new teacher training, came forward one by one.
The students looked at the teachers who came forward one by one and looked surprised.
“uh?”
“Your expression has changed so much… … ?”
“You seem like a different person.”
The one who changed the most was Har Dmeka, who became completely brighter after living with other new teachers at the new teacher training.
Haru, who was quite vigilant and always taught quietly during magic classes, had changed so much that the students were surprised by his current appearance.
Unlike the first semester, he seemed very confident.
“During this training session, our new teachers at Ibeka worked hard to provide you with a better educational environment, and as a result, they achieved excellent results. Now, applause!”
The principal’s words were met with thunderous applause. There had been training sessions in previous years, but Ibeka had not performed very well in the past few years.
Although the training center had lost its former glory, the students were delighted and applauded when they won.
The deans also applauded, and the noble Cloudy could not help but applaud as well.
“And the most important thing remains. At the training, the best teacher award is given to the teacher with the best performance among all the teachers who participated. It is an honor that even the individual award was brought by our Ibeka. Judging by the expressions on their faces, they all seem to know each other already.”
The principal spoke loudly.
“Teacher Ethan! Go get your award!”
The principal was in a pretty good mood, because good things had started to happen from the beginning of the second semester.
This time, I decided that Ibekah’s glory could definitely be restored.
Ethan came up to the stage and received the plaque. It was a plaque with Ethan’s name engraved on it along with the Seal of the Sword Saint.
“Please say something before you leave.”
“yes.”
Ethan stood at the podium and opened his mouth.
“This is my second time standing in front of all the students like this.”
Ethan continued, looking around.
“Do you all remember what I said back then? I’m sure everyone thought the same thing. What nonsense. What a brazen person. No one believed me.”
Everyone was silent, no one answered Ethan’s words.
As he said, no one believed what Ethan said at the time.
I just laughed.
“I don’t know how much trust I have given you. I just tried to take responsibility for what I said. I will repeat what I said back then. In this academy exchange, our Ibeka will win. I will work with excellent teachers, and even more excellent students will be the main force.”
Ethan’s voice was consistently calm. His tone, as if he was stating an obvious fact, was filled with confidence.
“I will make Ibekah win and I will become a master.”
Now no one could laugh at Ethan’s words.

Tea house.
Mason met Ron and Yuna here during his first semester, and has since become Ethan’s secret weapon.
“Why are you here?”
The three gathered at the tea house according to Ethan’s words, and there they met a magician and a student.
“Teacher Ethan told you to come here?”
Roanna Prochesht.
The three students who saw her, the center of the magic and golden generation, and grasped the situation all simultaneously shared a look of bewilderment.
“Everyone is gathered.”
With perfect timing, Ethan appeared behind the three students.
When Ethan appeared, Roanna looked at him with sparkling eyes.
“Teacher, your speech was really great.”
“I intended to do that.”
“Sir, is Roanna here for the reason we know?”
“Yes, Roanna has decided to become my disciple. You all must have seen Roanna’s talent firsthand, right?”
The three of them simultaneously recalled the time when they had applied for the course.
With just a handful of mana available within the academy, he was able to control over 100 people at once.
Her skills were astonishing. However, she was a student of magic, not swordsmanship.
“Don’t worry. I’m good at magic too.”
It’s different than before.
Ethan had raised his chances of survival to the limit during the vacation period, so he wasn’t in a situation where he couldn’t use mana at all like before.
‘Even if it’s not in perfect condition, you can use about 15 percent of the mana you have.’
I haven’t checked to what extent exactly, but if I borrowed the power of Lucas, the master of mana and an ancient spirit, I could use mana more efficiently.
“That’s enough to teach Roanna. And don’t worry, I’ve been training quite a bit for you during the vacation. The results I’ve gotten during the vacation will be much greater than what you’ve gotten.”
The three disciples could not help but nod at Ethan’s confident words.
Each of us worked like crazy during our vacation, so when the second semester started and we all gathered together, we were confident that we would be the strongest.
But when I saw Ethan, my thoughts completely changed. Ironically, the one who became the strongest was Ethan, the teacher.
“And one more. A total of five people will become my disciples and participate in the Academy Exchange.”
“One more?”
“Are you sure you’re the guy I’m thinking of?”
Ethan nodded at Mason’s words.
“Yeah, Oz Razors will be the last to join.”
At those words, the expressions of the three people except Roanna hardened. Roanna had never experienced or seen Oz’s infamy. But the other three knew him very well.
“I actually think the odds of that happening are low, sir. But you’ve been making that small probability seem high so far. We don’t like Oz, but if you change your mind and come, we welcome you.”
Ron also agreed with Yuna’s words.
Although his personality was quite bad, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Oz’s talent was the best in Ibeca.
“Mason, you?”
“I agree, sir.”
Yuna looked surprised when Mason, who she thought would object, agreed instead.
“I tried hard too, but that guy Max, he must have gotten so strong during the vacation that it’s scary. He doesn’t show it at all, so other people probably don’t know, but I do. The scars you can see here and there, and the mana you feel when he moves is incredible. I think you need one more definite talent to beat Max.”
“You’ve grown up a lot to realize that, Mason. You’ve become a man.”
Mason’s eyes shook greatly at Ethan’s words.
“Go, thank you.”
Then, in an unusual way, he stuttered.
“Then I think everyone agrees.”
Ethan looked at each of them and said.
“I’ll bring you back after I’ve reformed your mind. That’ll be the end of this story. Now let’s get to the main point.”
This meeting was an opportunity to introduce the new disciple, Roanna, to the three disciples and also to explain how they would be trained in preparation for this academy exchange.
“I have come to improve my physical condition in order to teach you. This academy exchange program is expected to show overwhelming results.”
Ethan smiled. For a moment, the three students felt a chill down their spines at that smile.
“You will be receiving special training for one semester. It is tailored to your individual needs.”
