Episode 314. Second Lesson (2)
Ethan raised his sword upward.
“We have to focus no matter what the situation is. But it’s not easy. The situation is always different.”
That’s why it’s important to find a way to stay focused no matter what the situation is.
“That’s the way to do it. You create your own way to focus in any situation. It’s about stimulating your subconscious to the point where you can focus on your own will. As you just saw, Roanna Prochet instinctively realized and used that method. She used her own routine to instantly focus. Thanks to that, she was able to focus even when I was interrupting her.”
Ethan explained it simply.
“That’s Roanna’s talent. It’s a natural talent that no one can replicate.”
Roanna looked triumphant.
“But if you ask me whether that is entirely a matter of talent, I can definitely answer. No. It is a state that can be reached through training. Depending on training, you can concentrate your mind at any time, in any situation.”
“Can we… … do it too? Can we learn it?”
“You can, and you can learn. I’m going to make it happen. And this isn’t just for wizards, so everyone, listen carefully.”
Ethan began to explain.
“I call this extreme immersion a dive. It means complete mental concentration.”
The students perked up their ears and focused on what Ethan was saying.
“You may have heard of famous inspectors or magicians who dive deep into their subconscious and achieve complete concentration. This is actually a very sensory thing, and it is not easy to learn. However, it is not impossible to learn. To master this dive, a routine is necessary.”
Then Max raised his hand.
“Max Jurod, ask your question.”
“What exactly is that routine?”
“It’s simple. You create a specific behavior that you take to enter unconsciousness. Whether the opponent is attacking you, drowning you in water, or setting you on fire, if you do the same thing, you end up in the same situation, nothing special.”
Routines are often a ritual that athletes use to maintain their condition, but they can be used in a variety of ways.
For example, there is a routine that a tennis player follows every time he serves.
Stand up the water bottle and hit the tennis racket once to the left and once to the right before serving.
‘You have to repeat the same actions over and over again to make it a habit.’
Ethan was also able to maintain high concentration through his own routine while playing Mephant.
‘If you do it wrong, it can become a jinx, but this too can be overcome with training. Routines can be used positively to focus the mind.’
Maintaining mental stability through a series of movements.
This routine is made possible by the addition of mental concentration.
“First, engrave this routine into your head and body, and engrave it into your heart. Then dive in with it. In my case, I do it like this.”
Ethan didn’t complicate this routine.
‘The routine I created was deep breathing.’
Three short breaths. Huh, hh, hh.
Ethan took a deep breath and the atmosphere changed in an instant.
It was much darker and stronger than the original Ethan’s aura.
The students looked surprised as they saw Ethan completely focus and dive in after just three deep breaths.
Ethan swung his wooden sword with complete concentration.
He swung it lightly, but what he felt from that light movement was an enormous pressure.
Only then did the students know for sure.
The meaning behind Ethan’s words that real life is different, and how it is beneficial to be completely focused in that real-life situation.
Ethan, out of the dive, continued his explanation.
“When I’m in dive mode, it doesn’t matter what the opponent does. The magicians won’t be able to stop their magic and the swordsmen will be able to perfectly display their swordsmanship. This is the skill that’s most necessary in real combat.”
Max blinked his eyes repeatedly.
Having only taken Cloudy’s classes for quite some time, Ethan’s teaching style felt like a complete departure from the norm.
“In my case, I dive in with a deep breath. But you don’t have to follow me. There are 150 routines for 150 students. Just create an action that can calm your mind and body. Now, I will have you all create your own routine.”
Ethan said.
Ethan paused for a moment and then continued.
“Once you create a routine, I’ll make it so you can dive based on it. All subsequent classes will be based on the dive state and experience various real-life situations.”
Ethan said that and quickly lightened the mood by clapping his hands.
“Okay, then everyone come forward.”
At Ethan’s words, all the students attending the class came forward.
Certainly, since it was a large auditorium used as a lecture hall, there was ample space even when all 150 people were standing.
Ethan took a deep breath.
“Each of you should think of a movement that you can make into a routine. You don’t have to decide on this right away. Just make sure that you can calm your mind and body. You can swing your sword and use magic like you normally would. Just a short movement that can calm your mind will do.”
‘The previous class had a total of 75 students, and the number of students who could be seen at the same time was even less.’
It was done on purpose.
Because I was confident that I could do it.
But this time was different. Now, Ethan had to take some risks.
‘The time has come to challenge.’
There are times when stable behavior alone is not enough.
Ethan strained his eyes.
The Eye of Horus and the Dragon’s Eye activated simultaneously, illuminating Ethan’s vision. At the same time, Ethan gestured to his students.
I wanted to sense every movement of the students and feel every breath they took.
“Breathe slowly and create your own routine.”
150 people each took a movement that would become their routine.
Although they are still rough, those moves will be the most important factors that will help them raise their level.
“And concentrate, and unleash your main techniques. Never stop.”
The swordsmanship and students began to practice swordsmanship, and the magic and students began to practice magic.
Ethan let out a blast of energy, intending to break his concentration just like he had before.

The moment Ethan stomped his foot hard, the shock spreading through the students.
“LumiT, Balto, Life… … .”
Ethan called out the names of those who were far away to warn them, and used his wooden sword to correct the posture of those who were close by.
Especially those who had poor breathing or were too focused on their routines were stabbed with a wooden sword to change their breathing.
“Keep your cool. Don’t let routines eat you up. If you find using routines inconvenient, they’re pointless.”
A few students flinched at Ethan’s words.
Call the person’s name and correct their posture.
Ethan was now teaching and correcting 150 students in real time.
Ethan’s eyes could clearly see everything about the students.
One person, five people, ten people, dozens of people, and then one step further.
Flash.
The blood vessels in Ethan’s eyes bulged as if they were about to burst.
150 people.
I captured every single movement with my eyes, without leaving a single one out.
Their movements were visible. Their breathing was felt and their mana was visible.
From understanding to predicting.
-Warong City has reached its limit.
Ethan began to push his abilities to their limits.
“Rendan! To the right, to Hanoth! Catch your breath. The mana transmitted through the magic circle is uneven. Routine is not about taking a specific action. It is about finding composure through a specific action. You just need to take a posture that allows you to find your usual composure in any situation.”
Are you really seeing this?
At the moment when I was thinking and doubting like that, I heard Ethan’s voice.
Ethan’s wooden sword is swung.
Ethan was gliding through the 150 people, correcting them.
Is it possible? Is it impossible?
Ethan was showing the answer to that question through his own actions.
He showed his will even as he endured excruciating pain.
If a teacher shows such will, it is impossible for the students not to be influenced.
The students’ passion was burning.
I could feel Ethan’s strong determination not to miss a single word he said.
Ethan slowly closed his eyes. It was only for a moment, but he was able to recover while he was closed.
That was enough.
‘do.’
Ethan was just as satisfied with this work as the students were with their passion.
‘It was a success. Even if it wasn’t perfect.’
It can’t be perfect from the start.
You can fix it little by little.
Because the most important thing is that it was successful.
“Take another breath, establish a routine, and find your composure.”
In limited class time, Ethan poured his knowledge into his students.

Strange things began to happen again at the Academy.
“No, why are you guys like this?”
“Tell me about Mr. Ethan’s class! Usually, the first class is a taster, so I thought this class would be the real thing? I failed this class, but I was really looking forward to it! Why aren’t you saying anything?”
As soon as Ethan’s first class ended, students who had failed the class came to him and peppered the students who were in class with questions.
The first class of any class is a taster.
The real thing starts from the next class.
In particular, Ethan’s Practical Studies Introduction class created tremendous anticipation starting with the first day’s Oz Lasers training.
Because of this, students who were not attending class were also quite curious about how Ethan would conduct the class in the future.
“No, and what happened to Oz? Did he come to class?”
“Speak up! Why is he like this?”
“No, aren’t they all in a strange state?”
“Did Mr. Ethan hypnotize you or something?”
“Or did Oz cause trouble? What happened?”
Even though I had question marks on my faces and showered them with questions, they pretended not to listen and continued on their way.
“hey!”
“That was a great class. Now is not the time to be doing this. I have homework that has to be done by the next class!”
“I have to do my homework!”
“Don’t hold me back! I have homework to do! There’s no time!”
“Homework? What homework?”
“Did you just give me my homework?”
“Yeah! Mr. Ethan gave us homework. It’s not something you can do in a week. No, you can do it. You have to do it, okay?”
The remaining students tilted their heads at the sight of these people, who clearly had cold eyes but were brimming with enthusiasm.
“Huh? Isn’t that Oz?”
“The look in your eyes… … .”
It wasn’t the same look in his eyes as before.
That was enough to understand the situation. Oz, who had been educated in the first class, had changed greatly.
“What the heck… … what class are you teaching… … ?”
Not only did he subdue that problem child Oz and teach a class that made 150 students cry, he also made them obsess over homework, which everyone hates.
“… … I’m going crazy. I want to hear it so badly.”
Students who didn’t hear it would regret it for a long time.
