Subscriber of the Gods Episode 310
Episode 310. Setting up a magic fortress.
Since the three teachers each had their own schedules and classes that the students had to attend, the joint training took place after school.
“One person per day. We will take turns teaching three days a week. The rest of the time, you can review.”
“So how does the training proceed?”
When Max raised his hand and asked, Ethan answered.
“There are quite a few students here who went to the academy exchange program last year, right? Then you should know how the exchange program will proceed. We are training for the exchange program.”
The Academy Exchange Festival is basically a type of festival, and among them, there were a total of five subjects that reflected grades.
“The winning academy will be decided by a combined score of five subjects. But I won’t be too concerned about that.”
Ethan said.
The students all looked bewildered when I told them that I didn’t really care.
Didn’t you clearly declare that you would win?
“I’m going to get first place in all five subjects. It doesn’t matter what grades I get in which subjects.”
He wins the final by taking first place in all subjects.
This academy exchange was an opportunity to restore Ibekah’s honor.
“In fact, it’s safe to say that Iveca lost its prestigious position to Freya. If you had the grades, you would have gone to Freya instead of Iveca.”
It was an undeniable fact.
“That’s why a close victory is meaningless. Other people might see it and think it was luck.”
Of course, winning isn’t something you can just do by luck, but Ibeka needed to make a definite impact at this point.
So much so that I forgot everything about Ibeca up until now.
“Ibecca must be able to appeal to the public by once again reviving its former reputation.”
gulp.
Someone swallowed dry saliva.
Just before, I was almost crushed by Freya Academy. Even though I had Cloudy, it wasn’t enough.
Max recalled the humiliation he felt at that time.
With Oz on leave and Max, now the valedictorian, becoming Ibeca’s face and representative.
Last year, I participated in the Academy Exchange as a senior at Ibeca.
“I entered this year, so I don’t know what it was like last year. But I can definitely tell that the atmosphere was not good. Teacher Cloudy, who is likely to become a master soon. However, the students who are not keeping up with her teaching. I guess this is what the evaluation would have been like.”
It was literal.
Max, the head of Iveca, failed to fully display his skills and was completely defeated by Freya’s Golden Generation.
Because of that, none of Iveca’s students were able to show off their skills and ended up handing the victory over to Freya.
An overwhelming defeat.
Max couldn’t raise his head to Cloudy. With these grades, where could he go and call himself Cloudy’s disciple?
Everyone who participated in the exchange program at that time gnashed their teeth at the humiliating memory.
“This time it will be different. You are the same people, but you will go to the Academy Exchange in a completely different state. Look forward to it.”
After the explanation.
Everyone entered their classes with high hopes.

On the way back, Cloudy approached Ethan and asked,
“Did you convince Oz, Mr. Ethan?”
“You came to see me first. It seems like you had a pretty good first lesson.”
“Oh, did that problem child take it kindly?”
“He was clear about what he wanted. He was a bright student and had a clear understanding of his own situation. Of course, knowing clearly and doing it are two different things, so he acted contradictorily.”
“I guess you could say he’s smarter than Mason.”
Cloudy smiled faintly.
“You could have introduced it today. Is there a reason you didn’t?”
“I don’t plan on having you attend the joint training.”
“… … You’re not letting me attend?”
Cloudy knew that Ethan intended to use Oz as a secret weapon.
Then, of course, Oz had to be included in the joint training.
Oz had a lot of talent, but the gap was too long. The gap that occurred when he was growing up was enough to make him lose his touch.
It was a time when you could become strong in an instant, but conversely, it was also a time when you could become weak in an instant.
Of course, there will be a lot of opposition to Oz joining the team. Most of the students participating in the joint training do not have good feelings toward Oz.
Some students will be quite upset because of Oz, even to the point of disrupting class.
It was Ethan’s job to convince her.
But Ethan was talking about not allowing such Oz to participate in the joint training.
“The other academies will all know that Iveca is sharpening her sword in preparation for this upcoming academy exchange. Not only Freya, but also the Borg Academy will be keeping an eye on this. It is likely that the Borg will show even greater interest than Freya.”
All eyes are on you.
“What happened during the departmental exchange program. Originally, Mr. Cloudy, who was in the spotlight, and I, Max, Mason, and even Yuna and Ron were all exposed.”
“Roanna must be the only one who hasn’t been exposed.”
“Yes, of course, the level of all students will change through this joint training, but I still want to create one secret weapon.”
“That’s the Oz Razor. But you can’t hide it completely, Mr. Ethan. It’s already widely known that Oz has been ranked first in Ibekah’s overall rankings several times.
“That’s all it takes. Problem child Oz has made up his mind. Something seems to be going to happen. That’s all it takes.”
At those words, Cloudy immediately understood what Ethan meant.
“Is it true that a sword is most fearsome when it is in its sheath?”
“That’s it.”
As Ethan smiled, Cloudy smiled faintly as well.
“I don’t feel so good. But.”
Then he tapped Ethan on the shoulder.
“Good idea, Mr. Ethan.”
“Did you compliment me?”
At Ethan’s words, Cloudy turned around and disappeared without answering.

The first day’s class was taught by Claudia Hyde, a swordsmanship teacher.
“There are some students here who have never taken my class. So I’ll tell you in advance. My class is not one that accepts many students. I don’t have the talent of Mr. Ethan. That kind of teaching method is something that no one but Mr. Ethan can even imitate, so if you take it for granted, you’ll have a hard time in the future.”
At this point, the one whose heart was pounding the most was Mason’s.
Mason was the one who had the best chance of becoming Cloudy’s favorite disciple. He had blown that opportunity, but he was secretly looking forward to taking his class after all.
Besides, he’s already fully prepared to fight against Ethan and the special golem.
“I’m looking forward to it.”
Not only Mason, but all the students’ eyes were shining brightly.
But Mr. Cloudy’s favorite students, including Max, were quickly taking a deep breath.
“First of all, it’s physical training.”
Cloudy’s classes were generally very hard.
What he cared most about was the basics, and the lesson began with lightly swinging the sword a thousand times.
“It’s the first class, so let’s take it easy. There’s not much time left until the exchange, so it’s best to get your body in shape for that amount of time. Then, let’s get started. A thousand sword swings. Swing it right away. Magic students can swing their staffs. Anything is fine, as long as it warms up your body.”
A thousand times with light stretching.
“What I value most is memory.”
Mason’s eyes lit up at Cloudy’s words.
“You may think that you make all decisions rationally, but that is wrong. Fights always come suddenly. In an emergency, the only thing that can make decisions is instinct, not reason. Instincts are different for each person. Some people make decisions with the right instincts even in urgent situations, but others may not be able to handle important situations.”
This was the correct answer.
That’s why many people saw this instinctive something as a talent that the person possessed.
“I think this instinct can be mastered through training. After all, instinct is based on memory.”
“I don’t quite understand, teacher.”
“Let me give you an example.”
Cloudy picked up the sword.
Cloudy was originally sharp, but when he picked up the sword, his momentum became unimaginably sharp.
It was clearly a person, but it looked like a sword in the shape of a person.
As Cloudy unleashed her full force, the magic students instinctively stepped back.
Some of the wizards stopped and tried to create a magic circle without realizing it.
“Have you seen the magic students? And the swordsmen students?”
Just like the magic students, the swordsmanship students also showed similar reactions.
Some hesitated, while others placed their hands on their bare waists.
“Instinct follows the body’s memory. Dealing with this instinct is instinct training. Rational judgment is slow. But instinct is fast. Use that. My class is a class that instills memories in the body. The body doesn’t easily forget things it has remembered once. The things you have accumulated may be forgotten by the mind, but the body will not. It remembers them and when you start training again, it instantly recalls them and reproduces them exactly as they were.”
Cloudy said.
“But the body doesn’t remember easily. The body is very tricky. For this memory to reach the realm of instinct, it has to be repeated many times. More familiar than breathing. Okay, let’s continue.”
* * *
“Ugh… … We can’t adapt to classes like this.”
“It might be okay for a physical swordsman, but… … .”
“But you guys move less. What you have to remember is not swinging your sword, but swinging your staff and drawing a magic circle.”
“Do you think drawing a magic circle is easy?”
“But it was great. Now I understand why Ms. Cloudy’s class is so popular.”
The students were quite satisfied with Cloudy’s class, the first class of the joint training.
“I’m looking forward to seeing Professor Duty too. What will his magic class be like?”
But there was something else they were most looking forward to.
Ethan, the mastermind behind it, was currently in the Wickus estate.
“Storm and clouds.”
It was to install a magic fortress using magic obtained from the Chernkastel family.
“It seems like everyone has already arrived. I’m sure many of you were curious.”
The wizards of Chernkastel had already arrived at the Wickus estate.
The purpose was to help install the magic fortress, but in reality, it was to see with his own eyes whether Ethan really understood the magic fortress perfectly and whether he could install it on his own.
“I think I’d better make a bet.”
Now that they were in the Wickus estate, they couldn’t just be sent away.
“You have to pay for the meal.”
