Episode 63. I Need You
Yuna Garnet, left alone, was lost in thought.
“There is no reason to refuse.”
A wave ran through my heart.
This was ridiculous by her standards. Nothing she had predicted worked for Ethan.
Everything was unexpected, from the class to his own requests.
“I don’t think I can refuse.”
Her eyes sparkled for a moment.
“He is a strange person.”
Yuna’s eyes changed.
Until now, Yuna had never had any expectations of people, but she thought that maybe Ethan was different.
“No, that can’t be.”
But her excitement was short-lived, and she pulled herself together again.
“If you trust, you will only be betrayed. It is not people you should trust.”
It’s money.

“Isn’t this the first time a new teacher has filled a classroom in his first class?”
“They say even Mr. Cloudy couldn’t fill it up like that.”
“What on earth did you do in your first class to make it like that? I heard you trained Mr. Chen Garcia roughly. Then I guess you shouldn’t apply anymore.”
Ethan’s class became a topic of conversation among the teachers.
For teachers, the classes they were in charge of were a source of pride.
An instructor’s worth used to be determined by how he or she was evaluated and how many students signed up for his or her classes.
That’s why teachers at the academy prove their worth through classes. They appeal to students in the first class about what they can take away from their classes, and recruit new students through the students who have taken their classes.
As a result, it could be seen that new teachers are placed in a disadvantageous structure.
But Ethan shattered that disadvantage.
“The capacity is 75 people, right?”
“Since it’s still a correction period, it’s possible that someone could have left in the middle, but I don’t think anyone left.”
“But there seems to be less talk than in the first class.”
The story kept coming up about Ethan, who had been educating Chen harshly during the first class while also showing him what kind of class he would be teaching.
The main content was about how Ethan teaches understanding of the sword.
But this time there was no such story.
All there was to say was that the garden was full, that no one left class midway, and that the upper-class students stayed quiet.
There wasn’t a single lie told about the class content.
Principal’s office.
“So, is there a reason why it’s so quiet?”
“yes.”
A third-year student stood in front of the principal. He was a principal’s scholarship student and an executive member of the academy student council who had been the principal’s eyes and ears since his first year.
“It may be selfish, but I’ll be honest with you because I’ve thought the same thing. After taking Ethan Wickers’ class, I felt like I wanted to keep the class to myself. I think other students feel the same way.”
“monopoly?”
“You’ve just taken your first class. With this level of skill, you’ll be able to take the next class soon. If that happens, the class will fill up quickly. It’ll be hard to even sign up.”
The student council officer continued speaking.
“Ethan’s class was amazing. I can’t say enough about it. It was amazing.”
“What kind of classes did you take?”
“therefore…….”
He explained Ethan’s class.
“Ten people?”
“Yes, it may sound like a lie, but it is exactly as I explained. There is no exaggeration or personal opinion. I literally had ten people stand up and each of them demonstrate their sword skills. And I immediately gave them feedback one by one.”
“her.”
The class content was so shocking that it made me laugh out loud. You made ten people practice swordsmanship at the same time, and after seeing them, you corrected their swordsmanship right away?
“You only saw it once?”
“yes.”
Then you remembered all of that. It was similar to the Rubinade improved swordsmanship textbook during the exam.
“Are you saying that you took that crazy class for granted?”
“Yes, Mr. Ethan didn’t seem to think that was a very special class. That’s why the students are more upset. If this is an ordinary class for Mr. Ethan, then you never know how much more amazing things they will learn in the classes he gives them later.”
“So everyone is keeping their mouths shut?”
“Yes, to monopolize it. If word gets out, it’ll be really hard to take Mr. Ethan’s class.”
Students were already expecting Ethan Wickers to be teaching their major classes soon.
“Some students think that he is the secret weapon of Ibeka Academy that the headmaster has raised. His skills are beyond belief. I heard that Mr. Ethan, who comes from the local noble family, the Wickus family, was sickly and unable to do anything before coming to Ibeka.”
That was information known to the public. I checked again to see if it was false, but it was definitely true.
So I thought maybe someone was trying to confuse the information, and many people assumed it was the principal.
“Is that right?”
“Is this a secret weapon that I’ve been secretly growing?”
The principal asked back, as if he was incredulous.
“If we had a secret weapon, we would have used it last year.”
Last year was the worst year.
Ibeka Academy lost to their rival Freya Academy.
They gave up the first place they had been holding in the exchange competition and also lost in the friendly student competition.
In addition, he suffered a crushing defeat in the ensuing teacher-teacher duel, which really hurt his pride.
“That’s how I got scolded.”
I couldn’t believe that students thought that way.
“That’s the whole story, Principal.”
The student council officer answered quickly and bowed his head.
“… … .”
After hearing the story, the principal stroked his chin.
It was expected that Ethan Wickers would cause a stir.
The appearance shown during the interview. The appearance that had an impact on the Dean of the College of Journalism and Science led the principal to give him the top position.
In fact, the principal had even subtly asked Shiron to give him the top position. However, the principal had higher expectations for Ethan.
I definitely thought there would be a breath of fresh air in some way.
I didn’t know a typhoon would come like this.
The principal was extremely embarrassed by the results. This was too good.
“Okay. You worked hard. Keep listening to the class and reporting back.”
“Hey, when will Mr. Ethan be teaching the major class?”
He asked with shining eyes.
If there were any plans, he seemed determined to be the first to apply.
The principal just stared blankly at the student council officers.
“Excuse me now!”
The student council officer saw that expression and hurriedly left the principal’s office.
The principal, left alone, thought he had to quickly move up the schedule for the parent observation class, which was originally scheduled to be held a couple of months later.
“Since it has come to this, I should emphasize my great insight even more.”
And it might be a good idea to announce in advance that this year’s exchange would be different.
“It’s thrilling.”
The principal, who had lost big at a gambling table with big bets, clenched his fists hard.

Mason was definitely a loser at the Ibeka Academy fencing department, but that doesn’t mean he was a nerd.
That’s why he came to find Ethan alone.
That’s what you said in class.
He knows something.
But he was not from the center, but a local nobleman. How he knew such a story was beyond Mason’s understanding.
“What is it, sir?”
“You always call me ‘teacher’, Mason Yellowwood. I’m so touched I could cry.”
Ethan gestured for me to sit down.
“Have a seat, Mason. I can give you a private interview.”
Mason clicked his tongue.
I felt like I was losing control the whole time.
“So, what did you want to talk about?”
Mason glared at Ethan without saying anything.
Among the three successor brothers of the Duke family, Mason is the one who inherited the Duke’s blood the most. When he made a face, he gave off a different vibe.
“What did you mean when you said that to me?”
“Mason.”
Ethan looked at Mason with emotionless eyes.
“Watch what you say.”
Mason was taken aback by the power he felt from Ethan for a moment.
He felt like a completely different person than he had been just a moment ago.
The power to overwhelm people.
Mason has felt this pressure before: from his own father, the Duke.
Just being in front of him made me feel like my body was stiffening.
“What did you mean by that?”
“To motivate you. You were a student who didn’t listen during class. I motivated you to listen hard in class. Are you curious about that?”
“Are you saying that the only reason you talked about successors and my family history was to motivate me?”
“Mason Yellow, you must know what the situation is with the Swordsmanship Department, right?”
“… … What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
“Ibeka’s flower is the swordsmanship department, right? Almost all the famous people Ibeka has produced throughout history are from the swordsmanship department. But recently, things have been reversed. The magic and alchemy departments are also showing results. Above all, where does the current number one academy belong?”
“… … It’s magic.”
“I heard you’re a sophomore. And you’re a junior.”
Ethan’s words were clearly meant to scratch Mason’s brow.
“And this time, a really great teacher joined the magic department.”
The Magic Department has a new teacher, the granddaughter of the great wizard, Nadia von Zernkastel.
Nadia’s skills are beyond doubt. That means the level of magic and students will rise even higher.
“… … .”
“What motivates you? There is only one thing. I intend to make the swordsmanship department like it used to be.”
The current swordsmanship is tied to the glory of the past and is called the flower of the academy.
In fact, the current flower of the academy is the magic department.
“Are you saying that Mr. Ethan can do what even Mr. Cloudy couldn’t do?”
“Master Cloudy is a great man. He will probably become a master sooner than I.”
Ethan also agreed obediently.
“But Mr. Cloudy has a flaw. He only takes the ones who are good at it. He doesn’t even look at the ones who aren’t good at it.”
As he said that, Ethan looked at Mason.
For a moment, Mason was moved.
Are you saying that you are a bad person?
I tried to protest, but Ethan spoke faster.
“There’s a reason why Professor Cloudy, despite being so excellent, hasn’t been able to bring the swordsmanship department back to the top. He’s too quick to decide who will succeed and who won’t.”
Ethan pointed to Mason.
“Mr. Cloudy said you were a loser.”
“Fuck.”
Mason finally couldn’t hold it in any longer and swore. Then he quickly got up from his seat.
“But not me.”
But Ethan blurted it out nonchalantly.
“Teacher Cloudy’s mistake was that he judged you as unfit. Right now, you are the best swordsman in the game. He discarded his strongest weapon because he thought it would be difficult to use it properly.”
“… … I’m at my best?”
Mason’s voice trembled.
Mason didn’t overestimate himself. There aren’t a ton of students in the swordsmanship department who are better than him, but there are a few.
But you say you are the best?
“Of course, I’m not talking to you right now. Mason, listen to my lessons diligently. Then I’ll break through your tight limitations.”
Ethan’s voice grew stronger.
“For the swordsmanship department to regain its glory.”
Ethan stood up, leaving Mason frozen in place like a statue.
“I need you.”
Mason’s heart pounded.
