Chapter 88: Parent Observation Class (1)

Chapter 88: Parent Observation Class (1)

With the help of a renowned blacksmith from the Marquis Rond territory, Yerica created a black ironwood golem.

It was a monumental first golem.

Clean and sleek body.

Oval-shaped head.

Arms and legs shaped like a doll, with no fingers or toes, but overall, it resembled a human.

The blacksmith praised Yerica for creating the golem quite well, especially for her first attempt.

Upon returning home with the newly created golem, Yerica began the finishing touches.

After creating the golems body, enchanting it with magic would complete Hecates special golem.

Now it becomes Yericas special golem.

With inscribed runes, Yerica completed the special golem, and at the same time, Ethan returned home.

You came at just the right time.

Oh, youve completed it.

Ethan looked at Yericas first special golem.

How is it? Did it turn out as you expected?

The created golem resembled the golems Ethan was familiar with. Of course, being a prototype, it had some awkward aspects, but overall, its appearance was quite satisfactory.

You did well, Yerica.

Its all thanks to you for unlocking the second-tier curse.

Yerica was quite satisfied because Ethan had unlocked the second-tier curse.

Now, how are you going to use this?

After the Parent Observation Class, I plan to use this black ironwood golem for classes.

Then, the most important thing would be its movement, right? To conduct practical lessons, this golem should demonstrate movements resembling real combat.

Thats why I plan to imprint my movements directly onto it. Ill incorporate Whiskers swordsmanship as a base and mix in various swordsmanship techniques from the Revinade Swordsmanship Department.

He intended to use it as the main base and include movements that could unveil each students swordsmanship within one or three moves.

Ethan already knew the commonalities and weaknesses of the swordsmanship techniques used by the students.

Its important to make it so they can be completely unveiled.

If it was going to break, it needed to break thoroughly.

To rise higher, you had to hit the ground.

Most of them probably havent experienced breaking to that extent.

Most of the academy students came from noble families.

They might not have always come out victorious, but they probably hadnt thoroughly experienced defeat to the point of tasting the ground.

Yerica, can we imprint movements on this?

No.

Saying so, Yerica subtly frowned.

Its an impossible task.

Reading her expression, Ethan smoothly responded.

Indeed, its impossible. How can a golem like that replicate such complex movements? However,

Ethan smirked subtly.

Only the special golem magic left by Hecate is possible. Yerica, youre the only one capable of achieving that.

Yerica bit her lip, smiling with pride.

In fact, it was fascinating. Despite being a local noble, Ethan was also a noble. Yet, there was no condescending gaze directed toward her.

If she said the same words to another noble, would they accept it as easily as Ethan did now?

No matter how much she thought about it, it didnt seem likely.

This was possible because Ethan saw Yerica as an individual, as a person.

Yerica liked that.

At the same time, she thought she made the right decision to shake hands with him back then.

-Survival probability is increasing!

Hmm?

Ethan was momentarily taken aback by the message that his survival probability had increased.

Of course, he didnt reveal his surprise on his face.

With a determined posture, Ron swung his longsword.

The reason Ron was chosen first was to create an impact.

Swish-!

Rons swordsmanship was a blend of Revinade Swordsmanship with his rogue-like style, mainly emphasizing attacks.

Absorbing the improved posture Ethan had provided, Ron continued his fierce attacks.

Thunk-!

Ethan raised his sword. That was the signal.

I wont say the word next. Read the signal naturally. Were not engaging in a typical sparring. Consider it a kind of performance. Using me, you all become the protagonists. Its a short time, but during that time, more than 100 people will be watching you.

The students shivered at his words but couldnt help but smile.

Come.

The day of the parents observation class.

Despite the earlier schedule, Marquis Rond promptly responded to the academys event.

The carriages are coming!

Welcome them!

Parents began to arrive at Ivecar Academy which was located at the Marquis Rond territory. This parents observation class was a significant event not only for the academy but also for the Marquis Rond territory.

Ensure everything is under control!

Clear the way over there!

Quickly tell the count not to park the carriage there!

The parents coming to the Marquiss territory were numerous nobles gathered from across the continent.

Starting from Barons, even among the Counts, there were many nobles with varying degrees of power and influence. Nobles who could not be casually treated, even if they were of the same Count rank, also attended.

Since they were not nobles that Marquis Rond could handle internally, he had to be quite cautious as Marquis.

A few years ago, there had been actual fights among nobles, causing Marquis Rond much trouble.

Once a fight started, the mediation would inevitably fall on Marquis Rond. Since it was an incident within the Marquiss territory, he had no choice but to handle it.

That was why the Marquis took extensive measures and paid considerable attention to prevent such troublesome and risky situations.

Thus, the knights of Marquis Rond welcomed the nobles.

Long time no see, Marquis.

Welcome. Your expression has improved a lot since last year! I heard your son is doing quite well at the academy. Is that the reason?

Hahaha! My son takes after me a bit, you know, so he has some skills!

At the center of control was Marquis Rond.

Since it wasnt always the same nobles visiting, revealing oneself to new nobles was a small benefit and amusement for the Marquis. Furthermore, when Marquis Rond personally came forward to greet or control, even nobles whose emotions could be easily disturbed by each other had to endure it at least once.

Observing the arriving parents, Marquis Rond sighed.

While it was advantageous for Marquis Rond to be active when they visited Marquiss territory, there was always tension about what might happen.

Many have come this time too. The love for their children is impressive.

Marquis spoke as he observed the parents.

You were the same, Marquis.

A nearby aide responded with a subtle smile.

Still, I didnt bring such a golden carriage.

Quite several parents had brought extremely extravagant carriages.

There were carriages with golden butterfly or undulating wave patterns, and there were carriages with golden wheels like Marquis had seen.

Isnt it like going to war the moment we enter the academy? Many eyes are watching. If youre ignored here, youll be ignored at the academy, so deliberately making it more glamorous is to prevent the children from being intimidated. Isnt that right?

But being too flashy might backfire.

Still better than being plain or ordinary.

Thats true. I understand it, but I might not like it if I were in their shoes.

Marquis Rond moved to another entrance.

Since there were four entrances to enter the Marquis territory, the Marquis had to keep moving around to personally check the situation.

I heard an extraordinary teacher has come this time?

Ah, yes. Youre talking about Ethan Whiskers, right? Thats correct. Theres quite a buzz about Teacher Ethan within the academy.

Hmm, Im curious. If I have the time, I must visit at least once. Oh, of course, Ill take a look at Claudies class first. Im looking forward to seeing how much theyve grown compared to last year!
