Subscriber of the Gods Chapter 336 - There's no need to hide anymore.

The true apostle’s body trembled.

It couldn’t be. It shouldn’t be possible…

He had worked under the 3rd Apostle for a short time and had seen and understood with his own eyes and body just how strong she was.

Incredibly powerful.

The true apostle, who had become an apostle candidate, had great pride in his own abilities.

He thought that since he was chosen by the Moon Mother, he could inherit her abilities and become an apostle.

He also thought that if he, the chosen one, became an apostle, he could quickly rise to the top.

But after seeing the 3rd Apostle in person, all those thoughts shattered.

The apostles were the sky.

No, the top 3 apostles were the sky above the sky.

The true apostle thought there was a sky above the sky when he saw the 3rd Apostle.

He also realized that just because they were called apostles didn’t mean they were the same.

But he didn’t give up or despair there.

Rather, he found a goal.

To someday become like those top apostles.

He imagined every day being chosen by the Moon Mother and rising to that position.

That’s why he worked even harder under the 3rd Apostle.

The more he got to know the 3rd Apostle, the more terrifying she became.

She personally handled various tasks necessary for the organization, and not once did anything the 3rd Apostle personally handled fail.

She was the so-called flawless apostle.

It was natural.

Strength was justice, so there was no one more righteous than the 3rd Apostle who championed justice.

The true apostle felt as if it was his own strength.

That’s why the news that the 3rd Apostle had lost came as such a huge shock.

“This is impossible… She’s not someone who would lose to the likes of you!”

However, the true apostle couldn’t deny it more vehemently.

Because deep down, he knew the result.

Despite sending a signal, the 3rd Apostle didn’t appear, and instead, Ethan Whiskers showed up.

Then the situation was all too obvious, wasn’t it?

The 3rd Apostle had lost. To that Ethan Whiskers.

“You all made a terribly wrong choice. If you wanted me, you should have only targeted me. How dare you target young students.”

At Ethan’s words, the teachers and the knights of Marquis Rond’s house became greatly enraged.

The true apostle’s words that they were attacked because of Ethan had already been erased from their minds.

“If the 3rd Apostle isn’t someone who would lose to me as you say, how am I here?”

As Ethan sneered, the true apostle’s body shook greatly.

“It can’t be! It’s impossible! No matter how strong you are, the Apostle… the 3rd Apostle…”

The true apostle knew the strength of the 3rd Apostle better than anyone else here.

Others weren’t too surprised, but the followers of the Moon knew all too well how unrealistic this situation was.

That’s why despair set in.

But there’s a possibility that Ethan’s words could be a lie.

In fact, they themselves had set up a mist transformation formation to exclude the Ghost Sword from the battlefield.

So there’s a possibility that the 3rd Apostle could be tied up somewhere.

But that was only for a moment.

Ethan slowly drew his sword and pointed it at the true apostle.

At that sight, the true apostle felt tremendous fear.

The opponent was by no means easy.

There were many strong individuals among the knights of Marquis Rond’s house, and there were quite a few strong ones among Ivecar’s teachers as well. Especially some, including Claudie Hyde, were so strong that the true apostle could hardly match them.

Of course, there was no need to even mention the Ghost Sword.

But Ethan was different. What he felt from him was strength of a different dimension.

“Ah, ahhh…”

He realized it.

The most dangerous one here wasn’t the Ghost Sword.

It was that Ethan Whiskers.

Tremble tremble-.

The true apostle’s body shook and his pupils trembled.

He could instinctively feel that Ethan’s claim of defeating the 3rd Apostle wasn’t a lie.

“T-True Apostle, sir…?”

“I-It’s over. Everything… everything is over…!”

The true apostle despaired.

As the true apostle despaired, the followers of the Moon following him also completely lost their morale.

“If you like paradise so much, I’ll personally send you to paradise.”

Ethan and the Ghost Sword made eye contact, and the Ghost Sword raised his sword high.

“Annihilate them!”

At those words, the knights and teachers moved simultaneously.

***

-You have cleared the quest!

-The scenario has been changed.

-The difficulty of the quest has been greatly increased.

-You have perfectly cleared the readjusted [Disaster at Ivecar Academy] quest!

-Your fame rises greatly!

-You have received rewards!

The Ivecar side, whose morale had greatly increased with the participation of the Ghost Sword and the deans, and the followers of the Moon, whose morale had completely fallen with the death of the 3rd Apostle.

The situation was practically over.

“Huff… huff… We won.”

“We won!”

After all the followers of the Moon had fallen, numerous notification windows popped up in front of Ethan.

It was the same as when he dealt with the 3rd Apostle.

‘I did it.’

Ethan didn’t participate in this fight. His body had already reached its limit.

After confirming that all situations were over, Ethan first took out a decoction and drank it.

‘Everything has returned to normal.’

The survival probability, which had fallen quite a bit, rose again to the limit.

Above all, he gained tremendous fame from this incident.

-Your words have a great influence on the Holy Empire.

-Your fame has become enough to cover the sky and shake the earth. Everyone in the Holy Empire listens to your words.

‘I did do that much.’

Ethan quickly organized the situation, putting aside various rewards.

‘It didn’t go as planned, but.’

Still, he managed to catch the 3rd Apostle for sure.

Moreover, he completely avoided the fall of Ivecar Academy that should have originally happened.

‘Now Ivecar is safe.’

All that remained was to clean up.

“Those who are injured, come here!”

The Ghost Sword was moving around organizing the situation.

Ethan frowned at the sight.

‘Should I say it’s a blessing in disguise. There are no deaths. But there are too many people in bad condition.’

Especially the teachers who were guarding the building where the students evacuated were in a seriously injured state.

“Ah.”

“I might never be able to use one arm again…”

“I barely saved my life. We need to look at it again later.”

“May I take a look?”

“Teacher Ethan!”

Ethan quickly proceeded with treatment, focusing on those with deep wounds.

Puk-. Puk-. Puk-.

-The proficiency of Heo Im’s Acupuncture increases!

-The proficiency of Heo Im’s Acupuncture increases!

As Ethan inserted the needles, the teacher who had severely injured one arm blinked his eyes.

“Huh?”

Twitch twitch.

The arm that wasn’t moving started to move, and soon the fingers regained sensation one by one.

“It, it’s moving. It’s moving!”

“You said you were recognized in Royal Gwyn…”

“This way, there won’t be any aftereffects, right?”

“Thank goodness. Really thank goodness.”

Ethan’s medical skills had advanced further after learning Heo Im’s Acupuncture and treating Oz who was on the brink of death.

‘Now I understand more about my Extinction.’

Extinction is not a disease.

It’s not an ordinary curse either.

‘That’s why no matter what treatment technique I learned, I couldn’t treat it.’

It meant that the approach itself had to be different.

‘It wouldn’t be bad to try mixing this Heo Im’s Acupuncture and True Heo’s Acupuncture. Though it’ll be difficult.’

Isn’t difficulty a joyful thing?

Perhaps because he felt that unique sense of achievement after a long time, Ethan’s thoughts had changed a bit like before.

“That’s all done.”

“Teacher Ethan, sniff, thank you!”

All the teachers gathered in front of Ethan who had finished the treatment.

Ethan looked around at them.

There wasn’t a single teacher who was unharmed. They all looked very tired and exhausted.

But there was pride in those expressions.

“Teachers.”

Ethan looked at them. And he looked at the students coming down from the building they had protected.

“Teacher-!”

“Are you okay!?”

“Are you all alright!?”

Students running over with worried voices.

The teachers looked at them with very proud expressions.

“You teachers have performed a miracle. No one would have blamed you if you had just run away. Because it was a matter of life and death.”

At Ethan’s words, the teachers made embarrassed expressions.

“It just… happened that way. The first thought that came to mind was that we had to protect the students.”

“I was a bit surprised too.”

This incident was quite surprising for the teachers as well.

Even seeing and hearing about great teachers, they thought they couldn’t become like that.

But it wasn’t so. The first thought that came to mind wasn’t to run away, but to protect.

“You teachers did it. All the students here were saved by you teachers.”

Ethan said so and bowed his head.

“It happened because of me. I’m really sorry.”

“Ah, no! It’s those followers of the Moon bastards who did wrong!”

“Teacher Ethan did nothing wrong!”

“Rather, it’s because Teacher Ethan dealt with the apostle that we all survived!”

“Thank you, Teacher Ethan!”

Rather, the teachers bowed to Ethan.

At the same time, students who came out of the building ran to the teachers.

“Teacher!”

“Are you alright!”

“Teacher Ethan!”

“I could have fought too. I could have fought…”

Starting with Yuna, Mason and Ron, and Roanna approached.

“Is everyone uninjured?”

“Yes, we’re not injured, but…”

“I don’t see Oz. That guy… what happened to him, teacher?”

They all had quite worried expressions.

Ethan pointed to the back.

“You guys are in big trouble now. Oz almost died this time.”

Where Ethan pointed, Oz was talking to other students with an unfamiliar face.

Mason made a strange expression seeing that sight.

“I have no intention of giving up my place to a rolling stone!”

“Yeah, that’s how you should be.”

Ethan had a brief conversation with the students and then immediately went to the principal.

“Teacher Ethan, if it weren’t for you this time, we might have all died. Thank you so much.”

Even the principal bowed his head in gratitude.

-You can choose a reward.

“If there’s anything you want, I’ll grant it. If you say you want to take 10 classes, I’ll grant that too! Or I’m thinking of building a few buildings named after you.”

‘So this is the reward.’

Ethan gained quite a lot of likes for preventing this attack by the 3rd Apostle. Actually, that alone was enough, but isn’t it better to have more additional rewards?

Ethan realized through this incident.

‘I need to be a bit more bold.’

The enemies he needs to face from now on are 3rd Apostle level or much stronger than the 3rd Apostle.

Safety-first principle could never be the answer when dealing with such opponents.

‘To entrust my body to intuition, I need an even sharper power.’

What is the source of Ethan’s power?

It’s swordsmanship.

The Ethan Swordsmanship he currently has was able to be completed thanks to Ethan’s current job.

“Principal.”

So he strengthens that job.

‘I had put it on hold for a while, but now I need to accelerate it.’

“There is one thing I want.”
