Subscriber of the Gods Episode 97
Episode 97. Gathering the Main Cast
“Ohhh.”
Grand Horn Temple.
The wolves that came in together growled at the sight of the magnificent temple. The white tiger also looked surprised at the change in the temple.
“It seems certain that the temple that was on the cliff was moved here, but it has changed a lot.”
“You have regained your strength.”
Ethan thought that the goddess’s power had returned slightly due to the increase in believers.
‘So that’s why you’re trying to increase the number of believers. That’s probably why you get rewarded every time you increase the number of believers.’
As the number of believers in the Goddess increases, the power of the Goddess also increases.
This meant that the powers that Ethan, a descendant of the goddess, could obtain would also be strengthened.
As the number of believers increased, both Ethan and the goddess benefited.
‘The rewards you can give are getting better.’
While the golden wolves and white tigers inspected the temple, Ethan headed straight for the statue.
-The goddess blesses you.
Shaaaaak-.
A blessing descended upon the altar, and a huge box appeared above it.
-Would you like to check the compensation?
As Ethan opened the box, swirling blue frost burst out from inside.
The protruding frost circled around him for a moment, then suddenly plunged into Ethan’s heart.
Shaaaaak-.
A cool breeze spread around my heart.
-I learned the skill.
– Skill [Frost Stack] has been added.
[Frost Overlay][S]
– Maximizes the power of frost. If the attack is successful, the enemy will be inflicted with the debuff effect frost.
– Frost can be stacked. If Frost is stacked, it will apply a debuff to the opponent: slowing effect.
The reward was an S-rank skill Frost stack.
‘Should the attack be successful?’
However, if the frost stacks only occur when a successful attack is made, it was lacking as an S-rank skill.
‘Or I don’t know if it will stack even if you block the attack. I guess I’ll just have to try it out.’
First of all, skills with an S rank have effects appropriate to the rank.
First of all, I was satisfied with obtaining the third frost skill.
Frostbite, Moonforce, and even Frost stacks.
‘Now that I have a technique that can be used in one blow and a technique that can be used in many ways, I can deal with any situation.’
What Ethan considered most important was being able to cope with a variety of situations. In Mephan, any situation could quickly turn life-threatening.
Because of this, it was extremely important to be able to skillfully deal with changing situations.
‘The more weapons you have, the easier it is to deal with them.’
“Your descendants.”
The white tiger approached Ethan.
“It’s going to get a bit tougher from here on out. We’ve accepted the Golden Wolves, so we’ll have to adjust to their style.”
“I already know them well. We’ve been fighting for a long time, but I’ve gained as much information about them as the number of times we’ve fought.”
Baekho didn’t seem too worried.
“Thank you again.”
“Rather, I should be grateful. Thank you for not forgetting and protecting the temple.”
This was the truth.
Thanks to the white tiger guarding the temple well, we were able to receive the goddess’s blessing without much difficulty.
The compensation was also the same.
Ethan then saw the golden wolves approaching.
“Now you have a fertile land. Now your purpose has changed. From fighting to take it to fighting to protect it. From now on, you will fight those who want to take this fertile land away from you.”
The golden wolves nodded at Ethan’s words.
“Thank you, Your Highness.”
“I will definitely protect the land.”

After the observation class is over.
Although the memorial service was a mess, talk was once again circulating among the students.
In general, there was a lot of content about Ethan.
“This time, Mr. Ethan won first place in donations!”
“Wow, you’re crazy. You beat Mr. Cloudy? You’ve only been here a few months, and you already beat Mr. Cloudy?”
“I’ll somehow attend the next class.”
“I think you’ll continue to learn the swordsmanship, but are you perhaps taking on another new class?”
“I was debating whether or not to listen, but I should have just listened. Oh my.”
“Please give me one more class so I can successfully register for it!”
It wasn’t just about the observation classes.
There was talk among the students that Martins wasn’t the only one who had to deal with monsters during this monster attack.
“If Mr. Ethan hadn’t stopped it at the very beginning, the Marquis could have been seriously injured?”
“There are kids who saw it there in person.”
“But why aren’t you saying anything?”
“Then, Teacher Ethan also risked his life to protect you!”
“Could it be that you didn’t reveal it on purpose? After all, Professor Martins passed away, so it was for the sake of Professor Martins’ honor?”
“and…….”
It was already established among the students that Ethan had deliberately withheld the truth for Martins’ sake.
It’s definitely something to be proud of, but I didn’t expect him to be this humble.
“Teacher, is what Mr. Ethan said true?”
“Don’t worry about those rumors. The exam is just around the corner. Just focus on that.”
Of course, all the teachers knew this fact. So many of them were already impressed by Ethan’s humility.
The main character, Ethan, was outside the academy.
The destination was a coffee house.
Tinkle tinkle-.
On the second floor of the coffee house. Two students who arrived earlier than Ethan faced each other.
“Why are you here?”
“You, of course. I was called here by the teacher.”
“The teacher called you?”
Coffee house in the Marquisate of Ronde.
Familiar faces gathered at the coffee house selling various kinds of tea and coffee.
They had expressions on their faces as if they didn’t know why the other was there.
Mason came first, then Ron Bears, and last of all was Yuna Garnett.
It was a very unfamiliar combination, but they were quite famous within the swordsmanship department.
Heir to the Yellow Duke family.
Swordsmanship with overwhelming power and last place.
And the successor of the target group.
We knew each other’s faces, but we had never really talked to each other.
Yuna Garnet, who came in last, also had a questioning look on her face.
“I didn’t know you two were close.”
“This is the first time I’ve spoken to you today, Garnet.”
“Me too. Did the teacher call you too?”
When Ron asked, Yuna nodded.
“You guys were called by your teacher too.”
“I hope it wasn’t another teacher. Couldn’t it be that different teachers called you here?”
The two students shared the same expression at Mason’s words.
But those expectations were shattered by the person who appeared next.
“You all came early.”
Ethan Wickes was watching them.
* * *
Ethan looked at the three gathered together.
‘The picture is nice.’
These three students that Ethan had gathered were the ones whose future Ethan knew for sure.
Those who will succeed in the future.
And they were people who could be raised and used at the academy.
‘I’ve never met Ron in person, though.’
Of course, I had only heard of Ron Bears by name and had never actually met him, but I had met Mason and Yuna.
In front of the students were coffee and tea, each of which they had ordered. Ethan slurped down his coffee.
A very awkward atmosphere.
The three students had no contact with each other, and since Ethan, who had gathered the three of them, did not say anything, they could only quietly watch.
In particular, Ron was the one who noticed the most. With his size, it was impossible not to notice.
“teacher.”
It was Mason who spoke first.
“Why did you call me?”
“You guys are what I call the three most promising in this swordsmanship department.”
Yuna frowned slightly at those words.
“Is that a possibility?”
“Teacher, thanks to this class I’ve gotten a feel for how to use my strength, but I’m still at the bottom of the swordsmanship class.”
Ron said with a puzzled look.
“I’ve maintained my high grades, but I’ve never felt like I had any talent for swordsmanship. Well, Mason over there might think I have some potential.”
At those words, Mason looked at Ethan with an expression that seemed uncomfortable.
“These two are on different levels. I might have a chance, but these two are a bit… … .”
That’s not wrong, but it’s strange to say it with your own mouth.
Yuna shook her head as she looked at Mason.
“Wouldn’t Max Jurod be more likely than Mason Yellowwood, sir?”
Mason glared at her with a fierce glare, but Yuna didn’t care.
Because I was just telling the truth.
“That could be true. We already know that Max Jurod is the valedictorian of the third year.”
Ethan continued speaking, looking each of them in the eye.
“Mason and Yuna, I know you two third-years are maintaining top grades, and I also know that Ron is at the bottom of his second-year class in fencing.”
Everyone looked puzzled.
Then why did they gather themselves together like this?
I don’t think anyone in the academy sees them as having that much potential and possibility.
“But that’s just the current situation. And it’s just the Academy’s opinion that we see you that way.”
Ethan met the eyes of the three.
“I disagree. You guys are so underrated. I plan to completely change that rating.”
“Why?”
Ethan smiled brightly at Yuna’s question.
The reason was simple.
“To make the swordsmanship department number one. And to win the final championship at the academy exchange festival in the second semester.”
Yuna opened her mouth slightly at those words. Ethan had definitely mentioned that at the party.
I want to become a master.
In order to become a master, it was absolutely necessary to win the final Academy Exchange that Ethan had mentioned.
But that was impossible.
So much so that one could even say that it is absolutely impossible.
“Are you really serious? If you want to make the swordsmanship department number one again, you’ll have to win the department exchange competition before the academy exchange. And on top of that.”
Even leaving aside the exchange system, there were numerous obstacles to the promise of making the swordsmanship department number one.
The first one was none other than Claude Hyde.
“Max Jurod will be the representative student for Mr. Cloudy’s side. Since they lost once last year, Mr. Cloudy will grit his teeth and support Max as the representative for the departmental exchange.”
Max Jurod was Claude Hyde’s chosen student.
He has great potential, a fast growth rate, and a swordsmanship inclination similar to Cloudy, so he has absorbed all of Cloudy’s teachings.
Because of this, he was currently Cloudy’s favorite disciple and the most favored student among the swordsmanship students.
And the second obstacle was the golden generation with magic.
“To become a representative of the swordsmanship department, you must first win the internal competition of the swordsmanship department. Only after you win there can you participate in the department exchange competition.”
You had to become a representative of your department to participate in the department exchange event.
“You have to win this departmental exchange to become the representative of the academy that can participate in the academy exchange. You know, there’s a golden generation in the magic department right now?”
Although Grandel Toph was a fairly capable student, he was still only a promising top student.
The real story was the golden generation of magic.
The golden generation that entered the magic department and brought it to the top was currently leading the magic department.
Even among those leading the golden generation, two were third-year students this year, experienced and accomplished.
There, the student who could be considered the center of the golden generation was the second-year top student of the magic department and the top student of the integrated magic department.
In short, he was saying that in order to beat the magic department, you really had to turn the academy upside down.
“I heard that the Golden Generation has reached the 4th Circle this time. So, if we do as the teacher said, the three of us have to catch them all and become representatives… … .”
Yuna Garnet trailed off.
It was an extremely difficult level that was virtually impossible.
When I looked at Ethan with those eyes, Ethan opened his mouth with a calm expression.
“do.”
As if responding to those words, Mason shouted loudly.
“It can’t be helped. Just like the teacher said.”
“You’re so confident, Mason Yellowwood? If you’re that confident, shouldn’t you have already beaten Max Jurod and been there?”
“That’s how it’s going to be from now on. You don’t know, but I broke through the wall.”
Mason’s eyes were burning.
Yuna was impressed by Mason’s appearance. His cynical and pessimistic appearance was nowhere to be seen, and he seemed to be filled with passion.
Yuna already knew that Mason was virtually excluded from the line of succession.
That’s why I couldn’t understand why Mason was suddenly so enthusiastic.
Even if I try so hard, nothing will change anyway.
She didn’t know it, but Mason’s situation had changed completely, as this parent-teacher conference had allowed him to once again enter the succession race.
So I had no choice but to be passionate.
‘It’s all thanks to Teacher Ethan. If you’re a teacher, maybe it’s possible.’
To be honest, Mason also thought it was impossible as soon as he heard it.
I don’t think these three will do, even if Max Jurod gets involved.
But Ethan just said it was definitely true.
I don’t know about other teachers, but Ethan’s words had a strange power.
Didn’t Ethan just break down the wall that was blocking you?
He was able to participate in the fight for succession again, and his swordsmanship also had ample room to grow further.
“I trust you, sir. You said it would definitely happen, so I think you will make it happen. And I also think that the key to your judgment lies within us.”
Where had the rebellious gaze at first gone? Mason was looking at Ethan with eyes like Schudlen.
I’ve already felt Ethan’s greatness once.
Who would have thought it possible to spar with 75 people in a parent-teacher conference?
But Ethan made it possible.
It is clear that what cannot be done cannot be done.
But what can be done can be done.
“You still seem to be living in a dream, Mason Yellowd. I thought you were a little more rational.”
Yuna stood up from her seat.
“I’m sorry, sir, but I don’t think I can do it. I have personal reasons and I might have to drop out of the academy.”
For a moment, Mason and Ron looked at Yuna.
Both of them looked surprised, but Ethan’s expression was calm.
Yuna left after saying that, but Ethan didn’t catch her.
“Shouldn’t you be holding on to it, sir? There must be a reason why you chose it.”
Ethan shook his head at Mason’s words.
“Okay. I’ll explain it to you two first.”
Yuna is busy right now.
‘Your head must be complicated.’
The reason she wants to quit the academy.
Ethan already knew why.
