Episode 68. The Third Lesson
The results were shocking.
“Huh, how? There really aren’t any defectors? None?”
The Dean of the Faculty of Magic stuttered without realizing it. He thought it would be fortunate if only a third remained.
Ethan was saying there were zero defectors.
“All 50 people decided to take the class? No way! Are you kidding me? No, I’m kidding! Hahahaha, but joking about class is… … .”
Ethan shook his head at the dean’s words.
“I’m not kidding, Dean. The students are quite nice. I told them how I would teach the class and showed them what I could do, and they paid very close attention to the class.”

“Really?”
“The kid who took the class said that? Mr. Ethan is in charge of the magic class.”
“You’re a swordsman and a teacher! But what kind of magic class is this?”
“What happened?”
Rumors spread among the students that Ethan was teaching a class in the Faculty of Magic called Potions.
Ethan was a hot topic in the swordsmanship class until just before.
By the way, you were assigned to a potion making class?
“That’s just a rumor, isn’t it? What kind of magic class is taught by a swordsmanship teacher?”
“Isn’t Professor Ethan rumored to be a swordsmanship genius?”
“Isn’t Professor Ethan spreading rumors about the magic department because he’s jealous?”
It was a ridiculous story.
Because of this, no one believed it, but one student from the Magic Department who was taking Kenro’s Understanding class found out the truth.
“It’s true!?”
“What? Really!?”
The story was that Professor Ethan Wickers really was teaching a potion making class.
“Ah, no, why? Why are you suddenly in charge of this business?”
“Surely you’re not teaching a class on understanding the sword… … .”
“You’re not going to quit, are you!?”
“That’s not it?”
Students taking Ethan’s Understanding class began to worry that Ethan might be dropping out of Understanding class for some reason.
At the same time, the magic students who had tasted Ethan’s class began to talk about Ethan.
“Why did you apply to the swordsmanship department? With that skill, you could have easily passed the exam for the magic department, alchemy department, or any other magic department.”
“Then the head teacher is coming to our department!”
In a very rare instance, the opinions of the Faculty of Magic and the Faculty of Knighthood were in agreement.
There is something different about Ethan Wickers’ class than other teachers.
“Grandel, what happened?”
“You went to this class, right?”
The knight department was actually the strongest in the swordsmanship department, and was led by Mason, a swordsman, but the magic department had similar strengths among the various departments.
A top student from the Alchemy and Spirit Departments of the Faculty of Magic asked Grandel, a student from the Magic Department.
“Yeah, I went in.”
Grandel’s expression was still somewhat strange. It looked like he was excited, but if you looked at it differently, it was also a blank expression.
Whatever it was, it wasn’t the usual Grandel.
Who is Grandel Toph?
He was a student who had shown outstanding performance in combat magic in the magic department and was chosen by the magic department as Mason’s rival in the swordsmanship department.
How could he be making such an excited expression? Things were very wrong.
“What on earth is going on? It’s ridiculous that a teacher from the College of Engineering is teaching our department’s classes.”
“Why were you guys just sitting quietly in class? Even though you were here, Grandel!”
“It’s a matter of pride.”
“… … .”
Despite the two people’s words, Grandel just folded his arms and didn’t say much.
“Grandel!”
“I wasn’t listening. I was just thinking about how to explain it now.”
“explanation?”
“Even I, who saw it myself, am still confused. If I just explain it to you, do you think you’ll believe it straight away?”
Grandel clicked his tongue.
Then, as if he had gathered his thoughts, he opened his mouth again.
“I’ll tell you just one thing. Why did you listen to the whole class? This is the thing that you guys will find most unbelievable.”
“Grandel said, recalling the class.
“They say that students who take this class will never be able to compete with potion making skills anywhere else.”

A secret night at the Academy filled with Ethan’s stories.
“The ultimate thief.”
Ethan hid himself completely and checked the instructions from the upper ranks of the Moon Followers who came in from outside.
‘It’s started.’
The order from the upper echelons of the Moon Followers was to cause an accident during this parent-teacher observation class.
The target had already been decided.
‘You want me to kill one of the parents by accident? Hmm.’
Ethan pondered why this order had been given. It certainly wasn’t an assassination order without a reason.

‘It must have something to do with the final plan.’
Ethan knows the beginning of the downfall of Ibeka Academy.
Students who went on a field trip met the Moon Followers and were slaughtered.
Because of this, the Academy had to take full responsibility. Students and teachers left, and Ibeca ended up being nothing more than a shell.
‘But you see, these field classes don’t usually go well. The risk is too high.’
The children of noble families gathered in Ibeka attract attention in many ways.
‘The higher the nobility, the more enemies there are. Field classes are like giving those enemies a chance. No matter how excellent the teachers are, it’s not easy to control them from outside the academy. No, it’s not just difficult; it’s impossible.’
No matter how hard and diligent the teachers work, it is impossible to thoroughly control this large number of students.
So, in reality, field classes were classes full of risk.
Even though the risk is big, there is not much to gain.
‘It’s not like there’s nothing to gain. There’s a charm to field classes. But if something happens while going to field classes to feel that charm, the teacher won’t be able to handle it.’
And there’s no way the principal wouldn’t know this.
‘There’s no way the principal didn’t know about this. But he pushed ahead with it anyway.’
Ethan didn’t know the reason until now. No, in fact, he didn’t really want to find out.
Because the collapse of the Ibeka Academy was important.
But now I think I know why I went to that field trip.
‘Is this where it starts?’
If a parent dies during this parent observation class, Ibeka Academy’s ratings will continue to slide.
There will be talk of safety, and the nobles who trusted the headmaster and Ibekah to send their children will no longer trust Ibekah.
Of course, this one incident won’t break all trust.
But the followers of the moon will continue to do this every time there is an event, and they will succeed.
‘The principal will become anxious, and the academy will be shaken.’
A major achievement is needed to alleviate this anxiety and demonstrate that the Ibeka Academy is still going strong.
‘Someone recommended field lessons to the principal.’
Perhaps some teacher made a sweet offer to the principal who needed performance, and the principal accepted.
‘It’s just a guess, but… … this is the most likely.’
“after.”
But we can’t just stop what the Moon Followers are trying to do here.
If you do that, things may go in a different direction than what you expected.
‘Then all my merits will be taken away.’
So, we need to handle it secretly. Prevent accidents, but allow the Moon Followers to continue with their plans.
‘So that I can intervene quietly and produce different results. And so that those results can benefit me.’
Ethan was troubled.
“Okay, that will work.”
A perfect plan emerged in his head.

“I’m thinking of holding a parent-teacher conference soon.”
Teachers’ meeting.
The Dean of the College of Magic and the Dean of the College of Knights were impressed by the principal’s declaration.
“Isn’t it too early, Headmaster?”
The principal nodded at the vice principal’s words.
“I’m thinking of doing it a little earlier this year. You all know why. Among our new teachers, there’s a teacher who stands out. The school is bustling right now because of the rising tide.”
It was no exaggeration.
Even though the class on understanding the sword was already bustling, Ethan, who was newly assigned to the class on making potions, was rumored to have a quality that was no joke.
“Dean Dade, why did you take our teacher away?”
The Dean of the Faculty of Engineering, Ricardo, looked very angry.
