Chapter 85: You Who Rolled Over Like Ivy

Chapter 85: You Who Rolled Over Like Ivy

Ethan was laughing inside.

I cant believe I found a follower of the Moon this easily.

Martynas Lane was a follower of the Moon.

On top of that, he had clear orders, unlike other orders.

Among those who will secretly move during this parents observation class, this guy must be the core.

Looking at Martynas who couldnt even raise his head in front of him, Ethan thought he could surely get results from this incident.

At the same time, I can carefully plan things so that the followers of the Moon dont think their plans were interfered with or failed.

Then the future Ethan knew wouldnt change.

Martynas Lane.

Yes, yes!

Raise your head.

The frightened Martynas raised his head. It was a look that seemed to think his life was over since he had tried to mentally influence an Apostle.

Because of you alone, the grand plan almost collapsed. Martynas, who is the bastard who chose garbage like you as a Second Order? Tell me that name.

Im sorry! Im really sorry! I acted too rashly. Please forgive me just this once.

Ethan pressed Martynas. Martynas currently believed Ethan was an Apostle.

The Apostles were the most beloved of the Dawn Council, which the Followers of the Moon belonged to and believed in.

Their strength is also tremendous. Even the Twelfth Apostle, who is evaluated as the weakest among the Twelve Apostles, is very strong.

He could be as strong as Ivecars Principal, Ghost Sword, or even stronger.

So he had to act convincingly.

First, take out everything you got from the organization. Originally I should have killed you here, but I will show mercy and see your actions in the upcoming grand plan.

Yes, yes, I understand. Im really sorry, ugh.

Martynas took out a pouch from his clothes. He also took off all the bracelets, rings, and necklaces he had on his arms.

Theyre artifacts that would fetch a good price if sold.

Since he was a Second Order, it looked like he had received quite a lot from the Dawn Council.

When Ethan looked in the pouch, it was quite heavy.

Its not just gold coins. Various things are inside.

Please give me orders, Apostle.

Lets talk in detail about the grand plan.

At Ethans words, Martynas swallowed hard once and then spoke.

Since he hadnt recognized the Apostle and had tried to mentally influence him, he understood why the Apostle would suspect him.

My role in this parents observation class is to open the door.

To open the door.

That was exactly the order Martynas had received.

So even though, you tried to drag me in because you wanted to score points?

Im sorry. It seems my actions to eagerly work for the organization went too far. I really am sorry.

Martynas bowed his waist again.

Ethan quickly organized his thoughts.

So opening the door was his original mission.

Are the collaborators ready to welcome?

Opening the door meant someone was coming in from the outside. As Ethan roughly guessed correctly, Martynas nodded.

Yes, were fully prepared!

An order other than First Order?

It was information that wasnt in the First Orders orders.

It looks like they deliberately gave separate orders to other orders. Because the Firsts are precious talents. In case they get involved and killed or suspected, the time invested so far would be wasted.

Im extremely worried if you know that collaborator after failing to recognize me and trying to mentally influence me.

Im sorry, Apostle. My orders didnt state who the collaborator was. I only received orders to open the door and welcome the outside collaboratorRread latest chapters at novelhall.com

Martynas trailed off.

Ethan roughly grasped how the situation was unfolding.

The outside collaborators were probably the guys who would make contact from Grand Horn.

When Martynas opened the door, the collaborators would come in and kill the target.

That would be the end of Martynass job.

Martynas must have realized that fact as well.

Thats why he might see this opportunity to advance from Second Order to First Order, and seemed to have tried his hand on Ethan in the process.

He has to produce definite results in order to move up.

He probably hadnt carried out any proper work since infiltrating Ivecar.

Even if he did, it was just playing the stepping stone role, not the core of the work.

Since hes a mid-level teacher.

He must have been anxious.

He already had a few classes in mind to assign.

I also want to create a new class.

Hmm?

Dean slightly tensed at Ethans words.

You want to start a new class?

Yes, Dean.

Deans face became serious again.

Taking on an existing class and creating a new one were completely different matters.

Currently, there werent many newly created classes within the academy.

Its too early. Too early even to suggest. Youve just entered as a novice teacher. Of course, you have solid skills and achievements, unlike other novice teachers. Your evaluations within the academy are excellent too. But you still lack experience. Of course, lack of experience means theres an absolute shortage of time.

Dean stated with a gentle rebuke.

To start a new class, you need more experience. Most teachers accumulate about five years. By then, you figure out your own methods and what and how to teach. But youre still lacking in experience.

It was a clear rejection.

However, Ethan didnt expect Dean to approve right away.

As Dean said, no teacher with less than a year of experience had created a new class before.

Thats a valid point. Ive only been a teacher for a year.

Your abilities are impressive, I acknowledge that. But its too hasty. Give yourself some time.

Ethan showed a regretful expression.

Then, after a moment of silence, he spoke again.

Actually, after taking on the Potion Manufacturing class, the Magic Department Dean approached me with a proposal.

The expression on the face of the Knight Department Dean changed drastically.

A proposal? What proposal?

It seems that, perhaps because I led the Potion Manufacturing class well, he suggested that I take on a completely new class.

Ethan said so with an awkward expression.

Of course, I refused. I am a teacher of the Knight Department.

He suggested you create and take on a new class? The Magic Department Dean?

He didnt specify it like that, but

Ethan trailed off at the end of his sentence.

Although he hadnt heard such words before, it didnt matter.

There would be no way to verify the truth anyway.

Traditionally, there had been a rivalry not only among students but also among teachers between the Knight Department and the Magic Department.

That wont do.

Dean clicked his tongue.

Well then, can I ask about the topic of the new class you want to create? Since you mentioned wanting to start a new class, you should be prepared for it. Teacher Ethan.

The Dean showed a firm determination that he wouldnt easily hand Ethan over to the Magic Department.

If its at this level, I might be able to approve depending on the nature of the class I created.

Of course, the Deans approval was just the first obstacle. The next step would be obtaining approval from the Principal, but Ethan wasnt overly concerned about whether he could get the Principals approval.

Of course. Its Introduction to Practical Swordsmanship.

The Deans eyes widened at Ethans words.

You want to do a practical class?

Practical classes were crucial.

However, despite their importance, they rarely came into existence as part of the curriculum.

Practical classes are entirely imposs

Before the word impossible could be uttered, Ethan spoke up.

Dont worry. Well do it in the classroom. It wont involve facing monsters, and it wont be sparring either.

Then what kind of practical class are you talking about?

I have a method in mind.

The Dean, who had been crossing his arms with an air of confidence, sighed deeply at Ethans assertive attitude.

If you have a plan, I can give my permission for now. But keep in mind that approval for class creation isnt solely up to me. You understand, right?

Yes. If the Principal ultimately refuses, I will also give up.

Wait a moment.

The Dean quickly left the room.

After about 30 minutes, the Dean returned, breathing heavily.

What happened?

How did it go?

The Principal

The Dean made an expression as if he couldnt believe what he was about to say.
