Subscriber of the Gods

Chapter 53: Just Two People

The outside was incredibly noisy.

The stands were already packed.

There were many new students who had passed in the morning, current students, parents, and even the existing teachers who would now work with those who were about to pass.

Amidst all of them, Yerica and Schudlen were squeezed in.

Its finally starting.

Schudlen, youre not even taking the exam yourself, why are you so nervous?

Schudlens forehead was sweating, and his feet were trembling.

I dont know. I cant help but feel nervous when I think that our young master is competing with all these talented people.

Its not like hes fighting for his life or anything.

Yerica said that and took a bite of her hotdog.

But soon, she couldnt help but frown.

Why is this so bland?

Yerica, you didnt put any sauce on it.

Yerica looked at her hotdog at Schudlens words.

Oh.

With a bewildered expression, Yerica sprinkled sauce on her hotdog.

I forgot.

She said it casually, but in reality, Yerica was quite nervous as well. How long had she been waiting for this? A person came out of the examination waiting room.

On his chest was a badge with the emblem of Ivecar Academy.

Having a badge meant that he had passed the Ivecar Academys new teacher recruitment exam this time.

Waaaaa-!

People cheered and shouted.

Its the Demeka family.

Of course, they would pass.

The first successful candidate was a member of a high-ranking family. It was no surprise that they were considered a highly qualified candidate.

The second candidate was also a member of a high-ranking noble family.

There were no surprises. The succeeding candidates who continued to come out were also members of well-known families.

Finally, the Swordsmanship Department!

It was now time for the successful candidates in swordsmanship, who were known as the pride of Ivecar Academy.

The selection of swordsmanship teachers this time was extremely important.

In the previous exam, four new teachers were selected, but three of them couldnt last more than a year and left.

The vacancy was significant.

Due to the shortage of teachers, Claudie Hyde had to handle much more teaching than other professors.

However, Claudie received tremendous responses in all of those classes.

Claudie Hydes classes were challenging, and the grades werent that great, but there was so much to learn that everyone preferred them.

Amidst the anticipation of everyone,

The first successful candidate in the swordsmanship department exam emerged.

.!

Schudlen.

D-Did he pass?! Did Young Master come out?

No.

The person who came out was a blond man.

Its Ciron Ramsdale!

The grandson of the Sword Saint!

Finally! A proper new teacher is coming.

Schudlen looked towards the students. They all seemed to like him, but some had a completely different look in their eyes as they liked him.

I think I understand why the new teachers struggle to pass and then run away, Yerica.

They will try to tear you apart if you show any signs of weakness or confusion. After all, they were the best in their respective families.

Even someone as strong-looking as Ciron Ramsdale seemed to have a hard time adapting easily.

Who will be next?

Since three people left, so theyll at least choose three, right?

It might end with just one. Last time, there were plenty of talented individuals.

Its a shame they left, but hey, kehehe.

The swordsmanship department and the students awaited the next successful candidate.

And not long after, a successful candidate emerged.

Yerica, who had been nervously clasping her hands, shouted with excitement.

Ethan!

It was Ethan Whiskers.

Yerica and Schudlen stood up excitedly as Ethan came out. However, the other students remained quiet.

Who is he?

Never seen him before.

Ethan?

But that guy, wasnt he the one who always had two escorts with him?

Huh! Really? How did someone like him pass?

They whispered among themselves as they looked at Ethan.

One student, who had quickly gathered information, stood out and asked.

Hes from the Whiskers family. Has anyone heard of them?

I dont know. The Whiskers family?

Wait, could it be?

There was someone who knew about the Whiskers family.

You know, that guy who came from Freya during the academy exchange event. Nathan Whiskers. I think theyre from the same family.

Hmm, but they dont look alike at all. That Nathan Whiskers guy had a strong impression. This person looks too frail.

However it happened, someone from an unknown family had passed as a teacher.

I have no idea how they managed to pass.

Im curious now.

Of course, their curiosity had a rather negative connotation.

We could make a bet right now. Ill bet on a month.

But a month is too short, dont you think? How about two weeks?

A bet should be significant. Dont you agree?

* * *

Congratulations, Young Master! Euhuk! I knew for sure that you would pass. Thats why I didnt even feel nervous and just waited.

But why are you crying? I passed.

I saw it. Your legs were shaking so much that it felt like the audience seats were going to break.

Yericas voice had a higher tone than usual. It was clearly a voice of excitement.

Congratulations on passing! Becoming a teacher at Ivecar Academy is a remarkable achievement. Its a position coveted by nobles of all kinds of families. Just today, hundreds of people came to take the exam.

Yerica observed them closely.

Those who coveted her magic still remained. They would likely continue to appear as long as she didnt demonstrate her true power.

She firmly kept an eye on them, knowing that there might be someone among them targeting her.

What she discovered was those truly exceptional individuals had come to take this exam.

Among those exceptional individuals, Ethan was the one who passed.

The swordsmanship department has its successful candidate! Next is the Department of Magical Arts

As Ethan came out, a staff member appeared and shouted.

More than hundreds of people applied for the swordsmanship department, but only Ethan and that person passed.

Yerica tensed her shoulders, taking it as her own business.

Congratulations once again, Ethan.

Thanks, Yerica, Schudlen.

Ethan received their congratulations with a smile.

But he wasnt just smiling. After all, he had thought he would pass without a doubt.

* * *

Ethan had used the winning technique that allowed him to enter Freya Academy at the top rank. (+)^[1]TLN: Freya? I think this is the authors mistake. Because I double-checked it and its really Freya Academy in the raws. They probably mean Ivecar.

Its the Revinae swordsmanship. I already knew about the improved version.

The problem was the practical test.

But Ethan already had a winning technique. It was the technique that had allowed him to pass the entrance exam for Freya Academy. (+)^[2]TLN: Again? Now Im starting to doubt this is not a mistake.

Freya Academys exam isnt much different anyway. (+)^[3]TLN:?????????

Ethan used the winning technique of Freya Academy, and it worked perfectly.

Ciron has the backing of the swordsmanship department. With a good background and a successful exam, theres a good chance hell become the top spot.

Of course, it would depend on the exam results of other applicants in different departments, but in general, giving the top position to Ciron would probably be a good choice.

Now I need to prepare right away.

* * *

A decent one came in. At first, I was wondering who it was, but just because hes from the regional area doesnt mean I should ignore him.

The principal was very satisfied with the results of the exam this time.

Ciron, the grandson of the Sword Saint, was a considerable talent. Whether he would excel as a teacher was a separate matter, but at least his teaching skills were good.

Considering his skill level in swordsmanship, it was safe to say he had a promising future in the Department of Swordsmanship.

As a successor to Claudie Hyde, he was also more than qualified.

But what was even more anticipated than that was Ethan Whiskers.

With this level of skill, there was no need for him to make a donation. Its really confusing.

The principal smiled faintly in response to the vice principals words.

It was intentional.

Really?

Yes.

He donated ten million gold coins and said he didnt want an honorary teaching position but a real teaching position. If he had chosen to take the regular exam instead, there was a high chance he would have been eliminated from the initial screening.

Ivecar was a prestigious academy.

Because everyone wanted to get in, they couldnt just accept anyone.

To prevent that, there was a minimal screening process, and that was the background.

Of course, it was possible for commoners with talent to emerge. But even if that were the case, they wouldnt be able to withstand the position of a teacher.

Among those they had to teach were many children from high-ranking noble families.

Would the nobles, who disregarded and ignored even commoners, listen to the words of a commoner teacher?

There was a high chance they would be torn apart without even showing their skills.

Even mediocre nobles were the same. They would completely ignore anyone who wasnt from the central nobility.

A count from a local region? To them, they were just slightly better than commoners, and not worth paying much attention to.

He bought a definite document of acceptance with money. Hes a very clever fellow. Not only is he skilled, but hes also intelligent. Maybe well have a new master in our Ivecar.

Heh! Youre overestimating him too much. Hes just a newly hired teacher. He seems to have outstanding abilities, but its not in a different field, its in swordsmanship. If anyone becomes a master, it would be Claudie first, right? Besides, dealing with students is a completely different matter from training in swordsmanship. Isnt that right, Principal?

The head of the Knightly Department hesitated for a moment in response to the vice principals words.

Principal?

Maybe that could happen. Of course, its just a prediction, but he wasnt an average talent.

No-now even the principal?

The head of the Knightly Department had even higher expectations for Ethan because he had received direct instruction from him.

In any case, the new semester looks promising.

The principal said so and handed a piece of paper to the vice principal and the head of the Knightly Department.

I prepared them in advance. Its the class schedule.

Principal! Are you seriously considering giving this class to a new teacher? No, it cant be done! If you assign it to him, he might leave in not just a month, but even in two weeks! He might leave after teaching only twice!

The vice principal shouted in dismay.

The papers handed by the principal contained the names of the assigned teachers for each class in the new semester.

Its the class that Claudie used to teach. Without the same level of skill as Claudie, the class will be impossible! Do you not know how demanding and difficult the swordsmanship students are to handle? Moreover, its not just for swordsmanship students, students from other departments can also apply for the class

Claudie is already taking on too much at the moment. Its time to divide his workload.

Then, wouldnt it be better to assign it to another veteran teacher and gradually hand it over

If they cant meet this level, its better to hire a new swordsmanship teacher. Even if he is a new teacher, he should be able to handle the standards of our Ivecar.

The principals thoughts seemed firm.

Once the principal made a decision, that was the end of it, but if any problems arose, it would be the vice principals responsibility to fix them.

That was why the vice principal let out a deep sigh.

For now, I understand. But if things dont go well, I will immediately hand it back to Claudie.

Alright. Do your best. Vice Principal.
