Subscriber of the Gods Episode 65
Episode 65. The Great Thief’s Extreme
After a brief rest, Ethan immediately distributed orders to the Second Order and Third Order to their respective locations.
Of course, we already know how, and what role the First Order plays.
‘We all know what the First Order does.’
I also checked where he was giving the orders.
With Hassen Little dead, the First Order at Ibeka Academy now falls to Ethan.
‘If we get caught, we’ll be in big trouble.’
After finishing his work, Ethan returned home and immediately turned on [New World].
‘You need the ability to not get caught. There may come a time when you need to sneak in again.’
I couldn’t continue to use the method of weakening my body and erasing my presence through the Five Elements Acupuncture method like I do now.
-The god you subscribe to has uploaded a new video!
A notification window that pops up as soon as you enter [New World].
“New video?”
The one who uploaded the new video was Hong Gil-dong. It seems that Hong Gil-dong only had one movement skill.
But since his ability was definitely outstanding, Ethan happily made a review video after subscribing.
Of course, Horus also uploaded a video after the first class.
“oh.”
As soon as Ethan pressed Hong Gil-dong, he was surprised.
“This is the rice cake that the gods are talking about.”
When Ethan subscribed, Hong Gil-dong had about fifteen subscribers and likes.
There were two videos there that were actually explaining movement skills, so there was only one movement skill you could learn.
But after Ethan’s subscription review was posted, the number of subscribers and likes went up to three digits.
There, the number of likes and views for each video was increasing in real time.
-[Subscribe to only the best] I’m following the subscribers and subscribing. If we’re only looking at movement skills, there’s no god that can keep up with Hong Gil-dong.
– It’s a crazy ability to move. I forgot my wedding anniversary and couldn’t buy a present. With this ability, I went there and came back in an instant and kept the peace in my home.
-After learning the power of lightning in the east and lightning in the west, I became rich in the taxi business. Thank you.
Ethan has seen with his own eyes the results his subscription reviews have produced.
‘It certainly has some power.’
The subscription reviews you write are influencing [Shinsegae] subscribers.
That too, bigger than you think.
“Just like Heo Jun’s time, this is a thank you video that only I can see.”
-[Subscriber Only] Hwalbindangpyeon.
-This video is for subscribers only.
-Only [Premium subscribers] can view the video.
-[Premium Subscriber] You can watch the video.
Hong Gil-dong, whose subscriptions and likes have skyrocketed, created a subscriber-only video that only Ethan could view, just like Heo Jun.
Since it was a free video that didn’t get any likes, there was no reason not to watch it.
Hong Gil-dong appeared in the video, wearing a rather fancy hat, a blue top, and white clothes. He bowed his head without saying a word.
-Thank you. I’m a very talented person. At first, I uploaded a lot of videos. But I didn’t get any subscribers or likes. I was so angry that I was embarrassed to watch all the videos uploaded. So I deleted them.
Hong Gil-dong’s expression, which had been speaking calmly, gradually brightened.
-I don’t know why you chose me, but thanks to you, I have hope. That’s why I want to give you this video. This is an exclusive video that only you can see.
Hong Gil-dong smiled faintly.
-You’d be surprised if you knew how I, as the leader of the Hwalbindang, was able to amass enough wealth to cover an entire island. I’ve been a victim of corrupt officials and bandits once or twice, but from then on, I’ve definitely prepared myself.
Hong Gil-dong explained that the wind and cloud were simply moving machines that could move quickly.
-Of course, the essence of my power is this wind and cloud, but I can also utilize this ability starting with wind and cloud.
‘Could this be a clone technique?’
-It’s not the art of cloning. In fact, that’s something that can’t be taught.
Hong Gil-dong, who answered as if he had read Ethan’s mind, began a long explanation. Just like the time of the wind and cloud, it was extremely long.
Still, it was more detailed than Hercules’ explanation.
Tiring-!
-I learned the ultimate thief’s tricks.
– Added Skill: Grand Thief’s Ultimate (A)
The added ability was a technique specialized in stealth infiltration that allowed the great thief Hong Gil-dong to easily steal valuables.
-This is a kind of spell. It is a little different from magic, but it can be said to be a technique that erases your presence. If you use this ultimate thief’s spell, I can guarantee that there is nothing you cannot steal. With the ultimate thief’s spell and the wind and clouds, it is the best for stealing and running away!
Hong Gil-dong laughed, “Hahaha.”
-Thank you for your subscription review!
Hong Gil-dong was truly grateful.
* * *
Ethan immediately tried using the Arch-thief’s Extreme.
‘Come to think of it, Hong Gil-dong was the leader of a bandit group called Hwalbindang.’
We were so focused on the fact that he stole from the rich and gave to the poor that we forgot that he was a thief.
‘If you think about it, there’s no way a nationwide active thief would only have movement skills.’
This is Hong Gil-dong who subscribed to learn the art of wind and clouds. But who would have thought that Hong Gil-dong would give Ethan the ability he needed?
It was an unexpected result.
‘I’m quite lucky.’
Ethan immediately used the Arch-thief’s Extreme.
-I used the ultimate thief’s skill!
In an instant, a spell swirled through Ethan’s feet and enveloped his body. And Ethan was no longer there.
“oh.”
Now Ethan was in perfect harmony with nature, to the point of admiration.
It was such a perfect hiding place that no one would notice if you just stayed still.
Ethan, who smiled brightly, immediately moved to the positions where the Second Order and Third Order were receiving orders and gave them the orders.
And I checked the reports that came up from them.
“hmm.”
The report was encrypted, so even if it fell into the hands of someone else, it could not be interpreted, so it could be considered highly secure, but the other party was Ethan.
“The Second and Third Orders have little authority. They act like puppets without any reason.”
That means the plans made at Ibeca Academy are that important.
‘That’s why I couldn’t help but not know until something big like that happened at the Academy.’
It was a very thorough plan.
But this plan was not going to be as thorough as they thought. With Ethan in the First Order’s seat, they planned to spread information very secretly but surely.
‘So that you can prepare for the academy.’
Ethan had no intention of sitting in this First Order seat to prevent the chaos that would unfold at Ibeka Academy.
‘Use it.’
I was planning to gain fame from both the Academy and the Moon Followers. There was absolutely no reason to take sides.
Ethan wrote the keyword “continue plan” on the order.
* * *
“bout!”
“Euuuuuuuuu!”
The academy practice room was noisy.
“What, swordsmanship and kids? Why are there so many of them?”
The student who came in was surprised and asked his friend who was standing next to him.
“You know, Mr. Ethan’s class. They’re all kids taking the class to understand the sword.”
“All of them? Are all these kids students in that class?”
“I guess so. They say that if you want to embody what you learned in class by the next class, you don’t have a single day to rest.”
“What the heck kind of class is this? If it’s this hard, why don’t you just drop it?”
“It seems to be much better than rumors say. I heard from a friend that the level of the class is no joke. That’s why everyone is full of venom.”
The window and the student stuck out their tongues.
“How great is this class?”
Ethan’s class was on the table every day.
Students wondered what kind of class it was that made the attendees keep their mouths shut and listen to it only to themselves.
It was the same for teachers.
Mr. Corner, who had unintentionally witnessed the first class, could not have imagined that he would get away with messing with Chen like that.
This meant that the principal had acknowledged that the education had been legitimate.
It also meant that Count Garcia was satisfied with Ethan’s lessons and returned without saying anything.
“It’s a class that Count Garcia approved of. It seems like we have a really great teacher this time.”
“Are you a bit nervous about magic?”
“I’m more worried about Professor Cloudy. Up until now, it was Professor Cloudy who led the swordsmanship department. But then suddenly a new teacher came in and started attracting so much attention… … .”
“Besides, there is some comparison.”
“It’s okay, Ms. Cloudy, because her class is full of students, but there’s another teacher who came in with her.”
“Oh, Mr. Ramsdale?”
There were quite a few teachers who came in at the same time as Ethan, but there was only one teacher in the same swordsmanship department.
Siron Ramsdale.
He had been in the spotlight since he passed the exam as the grandson of Geomseong, but his presence had been completely erased from the celebration party until now.
He also took on a new class, but he was greatly contrasted with Ethan.
30 people in a 50-person capacity.
In fact, my grades were pretty good for a new teacher, but my classmate Ethan was showing monstrous results, so the gap was so large that it was practically incomparable.
“Shh.”
The gathered teachers were silent as they watched Siron Ramsdale walking from a distance. Siron Ramsdale felt the teachers’ gazes.
‘Fuck.’
He was also aware of this situation.
‘What on earth happened?’
I didn’t think I would do well from the beginning. But I have a shadow following me.
Shadow, the grandson of the Black Sword.
There was a shadow that followed him no matter what he did, so he decided to take this opportunity to get rid of that shadow.
Not the grandson of the Black Swordsman, but Shiron Ramsdale, a teacher at Ibeka Academy.
But the first step was wrong.
It was because of my classmate Ethan Wickers.
Of course, Ethan did nothing wrong.
However, since Shiron is also human, it was inevitable that he would feel resentment towards Ethan.
“Mr. Siron Ramsdale.”
For a moment, Shiron flinched in surprise.
“What, were you having any bad thoughts? Like cursing at me?”
It was Ethan Wickers.
Shiron smiled awkwardly without realizing it when Ethan suddenly appeared.
“Oh, no.”
“Okay then. It’s nothing special, I was just wondering if it would be a good idea to have a meal with your colleagues.”
“Where to eat?”
“Are you feeling unintentionally stressed because of me?”
Ethan was surprised that he seemed to have seen through his inner thoughts.
Besides, he’ll be the first to reach out to you.
‘Something is different.’
“Yes, it would be good for our peers to get together once in a while.”
The poem made Ethan curious.
* * *
The organizer of this year’s new teacher alumni meeting was Ethan.
A total of seven people gathered, including new teachers from the Magic Department and the Knight Department.
Although it was a light meal, the atmosphere was not light.
The teachers glanced at Siron Ramsdale and Ethan. Then they looked at Iris.
Originally, Shiron and Iris were supposed to compete for the top position, and after becoming full-time teachers, they had to compete for their qualifications as new teachers.
But Ethan was overwhelmingly overwhelming them both.
“I didn’t think you’d be this type of person. You’re more sociable than I thought, Mr. Ethan.”
Iris, the magic teacher, spoke to Ethan. Iris didn’t look too happy either.
In this place, Nadia was the only one eating comfortably, aside from Ethan.
“I’m not the type to dislike people. And I thought you might have some complaints, so I created this space.”
Siron and Iris’ eyebrows twitched. The other teachers looked surprised at this situation.
I never thought you would talk about it so openly. It’s a sensitive issue that involves pride.
“I mean, I’m not particularly impressed by this achievement.”
“What do you mean, ‘I have no inspiration?’
Shiron asked. His voice was very quiet.
Is this the most basic of the basics? To the point where it doesn’t even inspire much emotion?
I don’t think you’ve prepared a meal just to brag.
Ethan looked at the poem.
“You two didn’t become teachers to compete, did you? Siron Ramsdale, Sir Iris Paqueta. I have a bigger goal.”
“Mr. Ethan, you are right.”
Nadia said, eating her salad.
“I came to this school as a teacher with great goals, teachers. I think you have the same goals.”
The grand goal that Ethan speaks of is the goal that everyone gathered here dreams of.
Everyone dreams of becoming the best swordsman on the continent when they pick up a sword. Likewise, teachers entering the academy generally dream of becoming the best teachers.
Becoming a master.
And the reason was that he wanted to leave a big mark on the academy. It was an expression of his pride that since he had entered as a teacher, he would rise to the top of any academy.
But look at the situation now.
At Ethan’s words, Shiron and Iris felt embarrassed for a moment.
As he said, he came in with the ambition of becoming a teacher and leading Ibeka Academy to the top.
Ethan was the one who opened the gates and became the vanguard. Then, shouldn’t they not fall behind?
If not, at least you shouldn’t be holding me back.
“after.”
They knew it too.
What feelings they have for Ethan.
It was just envy and jealousy.
Neither Siron Ramsdale nor Iris Paqueta had ever been jealous or envious of anyone.
Because the main character who receives attention is always himself.
Because whatever I wished for came true. Anything I worked hard for became possible, and I achieved results far superior to others.
“Teachers.”
Ethan looked at them thoughtfully.
“We have the same goal, don’t we?”
After saying that, he made eye contact not only with Shiron and Iris, but also with the other teachers.
“……you’re right.”
“That’s right, Mr. Ethan.”
“Then let’s do it together, us.”
At the word “we,” something deep within the teachers rose up.
