Subscriber of the Gods

Chapter 94: Follow-up

Perfect.

The plan had proceeded perfectly. He had taken care of the followers of the Moon who led this incident. He had protected Marquis Roentgen and directed all eyes to Martynas Lane.

It was all exactly as Ethan had wanted.

Although it was tight, the result wasnt bad.

The White Tiger is escaping!

That damned White Tiger!

We have to catch that White Tiger!

It killed two people and escaped!

Thud-!

The nobles gritted their teeth in anger. With their mana restricted and children next to them, they couldnt move.

In this unfamiliar powerlessness, their anger surged.

At the nobles shouts, the knight corps and mage corps inside the academy soon appeared.

The quickly arrived knight corps and mage corps tried to resolve the situation.

Are you all right?!

Where is the monster?!

Well take care of it!

The academy guardian knights quickly entered between the nobles and established a formation to protect the nobles.

The academy mage corps also quickly deployed magic.

The situation has already ended! The monster escaped that way!

At a nobles words, the knights and mages quickly moved towards where the pursuer had indicated.

But the White Tiger had already escaped far away.

Then Ethan shouted.

Help is needed here! Teacher Martynas Lane!

The knights about to give chase immediately looked at Ethan. Cradled in Ethans arms was Martynas Lane.

Bleeding Martynas Lane clearly seemed to need urgent care.

Hurry!

The mages approached Ethan and Martynas Lane.

Martynas will become the hero of this monster raid incident. All eyes will turn to Martynas. And the followers of the Moon will think this incident was neither a success nor failure, just a small accident.

That was what Ethan was aiming for.

Giving the followers of the Moon just the right amount of power in this Ivecar Academy. Neither too much nor too little.

Keeping other variables from appearing until the downfall incident later in the semester.

Only then could he perfectly change the outcome of that downfall incident.

Rather than me, Martynas will clearly attract attention. Theyll be confused whether someone intentionally ruined their plan this time, or someone intervened.

And the followers of the Moon wouldnt suspect Ethan either.

Looking at the collapsed Martynas, Ethan began acting distressed.

Ironically, Martynas obtained what he wanted by dying.

This guy gets more than he deserves. If the people he killed saw this, how gratifying theyd feel.

The mages checked Martynass condition and then shook their heads.

He has passed away.

Oh no, in the end

Ethan closed his eyes and shook his shoulders as if sad.

Inside the principals office were Ethan, the principal, and the vice principal. The principal was listening to Ethan, a witness of this incident, tell the details.

I was heading to the 2nd Square for a break.

As soon as he arrived at the 2nd Square, he encountered the White Tiger, and Martynas Lane had dealt with that White Tiger.

He added that in the process, many parents had nearly been seriously injured.

Teacher Martynas blocked the White Tiger. Without Teacher Martynas, there would have been greater harm. Teacher Martynas saved the countless parents and students in the square.

Oh my! For something like this to happen

This incident will make the parents doubt the safety of our Ivecar.

This situation was a considerable blow to the academy.

This Ivecar Academys motto was protecting the noble families children and Ivecars students through restricting mana.

To think something like this happened on the very day of the parent observation class, after establishing an image as a safe academy you could send your child to without worry.

The principal and vice principals expressions stiffened.

How to resolve this incident

As they worried about that.

The parents have come looking for you.

The principal and vice principal clicked their tongues.

With the parents coming before they had even decided how to handle this.

It wasnt a good situation.

Ethan, beside them, quietly observed the situation.

Creak-

The door opened and some parents from the 2nd Square entered.

The parents including Marquis Roentgen did not have particularly good expressions.

First, I wish to offer my apologies.

As the principal moved to bow his head, Marquis Roentgen, representing them, raised his hand to stop him.

No, we didnt come to protest.

Yes?

Marquis Roentgen looked at Ethan and bowed his head.

For a Marquis of a distinguished noble family to bow his head to a young, newly appointed teacher. Even the principal was shocked.

But Ethan remained composed.

Teacher Ethan Whiskers, thank you for saving me.

Thank you!

The principal was extremely confused by the parents sudden actions.

From Ethans story just before, he heard that the deceased Teacher Martynas Lane had resolved this incident.

He just thought Ethan had witnessed the situation late.

Because Ethan hadnt said anything about what he did.

Yet the parents were bowing their heads to Ethan.

That proud Marquis Roentgen was bowing his head and expressing his gratitude. The principal could not understand at all.

Just what is this

The Roentgen family had tightly gripped the central southern region for quite a long time. The words of the Marquis leading that family held strong power.

I appreciate your words but I didnt really do anything. Without Teacher Martynas Lane stepping forward, I could not have defeated the White Tiger. I want to pass on the credit to Teacher Martynas who risked his life fighting the White Tiger.

At Ethans words, Marquis Roentgen and the other parents smiled affectionately.

To think he was this humble.

If Ethan hadnt stepped up first, Martynas wouldnt have had the timing to face the White Tiger either.

And he had directly saved Marquis Roentgens life, so it was understandable to expect some reciprocation or reward.

Since Marquis had also just had his and his daughters lives saved, he was prepared to give any reward.

I dont know what Teacher Ethans observation class was like, but I think I know well what kind of teacher he is. Please take care of my daughter.

Please teach my foolish son well!

I will never forget this incident. If you ever need my help, please come to me without hesitation.

The parents extended their hands to Ethan.

And finally, Marquis Roentgen took something out and placed it in Ethans hand.

That is

The principal, watching from the side, looked surprised at the object Marquis had handed over.

It was a kind of medallion engraved with the Marquis family crest.

Made of the expensive mineral orichalcum, it signified that if the recipient showed this medallion of gratitude, the Marquis family would comply with any request they made.

Ethan briefly met Marquiss eyes then obediently accepted the medallion.

It would be discourteous of me to refuse.

Excessive modesty can be poisonous, Teacher.

Marquis Roentgen smiled.

Seeing this, the principal subtly cut in.

Then about this incident

I heard there seems to be a problem at the Grand Horn, Principal. It could have truly been a major disaster, but well let it go for now after seeing Teacher Ethan. But it cant be treated as if nothing happened.

Its our oversight. We will handle it firmly.

The principals expression, which had been quite stiff, softened again.

He hadnt expected to be able to brush over this incident so well.

As Roentgen Marquis said, this incident truly could have been a major disaster. He would have had to accept any demands from the parents.

Trust was hard to build but so easy to demolish.

Yet they were able to move past this favorably, entirely thanks to Teacher Ethan Whiskers.

The principal secretly gave Ethan a thumbs up, as if to say well done.

It looked like this would flow better than expected.

We will firmly resolve this incident and move on. Thank you again for trusting us.

The principal politely bid them farewell.

This observation class ended shockingly in various ways.

The first shock was naturally about the teachers who held observation classes.

I was really surprised. To think lectures could be done like that. Its not the lecture quality a new teacher can deliver.

75 people. 75 people, in just barely over 1 minute. And not just casually sparring to practice swordsmanship. Intensely, to let them appreciate the beauty of swordsmanship.

Not only parents and students, but fellow teachers had also attended Ethans lecture.

Teachers who were curious about how Ethan taught were shocked seeing that lecture.

And it reminded them of when they were new teachers.

He was subtly correcting their posture while sparring? Is that even possible?

The teachers were uniformly impressed with Ethans lecture.

It was such an amazing lecture they didnt even feel jealousy.

At the same time, talk of Claudie Hydes observation class also came out.

Most people gathered to Professor Claudies class last year.

I heard more gathered to Professor Ethans class this year?

To think a teacher as amazing as Professor Claudie appeared in the Swordsmanship Department.

Should I transfer to the Swordsmanship Department?

Students of other majors in the Knight Department seriously began considering transferring to the Swordsmanship Department.

No one doubted Ethans classes anymore.

Now that he had firmly proven himself, neither students nor teachers could help but acknowledge Ethan.

As expected.

Im proud to be his colleague.

Iris Paqueta and Ciron Ramsdale smiled affectionately at this talk and nodded.

We got quite a lot of benefits from being his colleague this time too.

Including them, the new teachers who held observation classes made good use of the tips Ethan had given and taught their classes.

Thanks to that, the parents reactions were very good.

The students were also quite satisfied to be able to evenly show good aspects.

I really want to have an afterparty. But with the situation, well have to do it later.

I didnt expect something like that to happen.

Those who heard about the 2nd Square monster raid incident showed expressions of disbelief that a monster raid would happen inside Ivecar Academy.

For now, the fact that people died was controlled by the principal and vice principal, and the parent observation classes ended successfully by saying the incident had been resolved.

Academy meeting hall.

All the teachers who participated in this parent observation class were gathered here.

Is everyone here?

Yes, Principal. All the teachers have gathered.

Then first, lets talk about this unfortunate incident. As you all heard, weve controlled it so the story of deaths from this raid doesnt spread further. We plan to announce it at the memorial service tomorrow. We had to properly conclude the parent observation classes today.

The principal spoke with an expression of grief.

The teachers also bowed their heads. After a brief moment of silence, the principal clapped once.

They couldnt just remain gloomy.

You all worked hard preparing and conducting these observation classes!

The principal said.

There was an unfortunate incident and sad results, but you each did your best in your positions, allowing us to conclude the parent observation classes successfully.

The principal spoke and met the teachers gazes.

He held Claudie Hydes gaze for quite a while, and likewise held Ethans gaze.

With even the new teachers doing well, I think we recruited very good new teachers this year.

The teachers gazes instantly went to Ethan.

Those had been gazes directed at Claudie until last year. But Claudie had an unconcerned expression.

Then I should talk about it again. Our Ivecar parent observation classes have a tradition. To signify they attended good classes and their children were taught well, parents donate.

The principal spoke and signaled to the deans.

The deans stepped back.

And these donations come in the teachers names.

After checking the donations, the two deans immediately announced which teacher received each donation.

The amount of the donation determines the ranking. In a way, the amount of these donations can become an indicator of how well they taught.

Of course, since it was concluding a traditional event, some seriousness was lacking.

But still, teachers who received a lot of donations were generally acknowledged.

Ill just tell the #1 spot. Since the important thing isnt ranking them by money.

Everyone made tense expressions.

The two teachers talked about the most at todays parent observation class were here.

Ethan and Claudie.

The new teacher and the veteran teacher leading the Swordsmanship Department.

1st place is

Everyone concentrated on the principals mouth.

15 million gold. Teacher Ethan Whiskers.
