Chapter 60: Parent-Teacher Meeting
Ethan woke up from his sleep.
Fortunately, he wasnt discovered by anyone, but his back was quite sore.
Ugh
Ethan slowly got up and stretched his body. Suddenly appearing from the bushes, he startled the students who were taking a walk in front of him.
The two students were holding hands. When Ethans gaze rested on their hands, they quickly let go, as if they were holding onto burning flames, and looked at each other in surprise.
S-Sorry!
Were sorry, teacher! We werent holding hands; we were helping each other with magic and swordsmanship!
T-This was just a handshake!
Ivecar Academy strictly prohibited dating. Of course, there were those who secretly engaged in it, but if caught, the teachers had the authority to issue penalties.
New teachers were generally passionate, so if they were caught by a new teacher, they would inevitably receive a penalty.
What?
Ethan was momentarily taken aback but didnt show it on his face.
The two students thought that Ethan had been patrolling since early in the morning.
It was only the second day since he joined the school, and they were impressed by his dedication.
Of course, they didnt know that Ethan had just been sleeping there and had woken up just now.
Is it customary to interlock your fingers while shaking hands these days?
T-Teacher
Receiving penalties had a significant negative impact on their grades.
Of course, Ethan had no intention of giving them a penalty.
Ill let it slide this time. But there wont be a second chance.
As Ethan closed his eyes, a hint of tears welled up in the students eyes. If they had been caught by another teacher, they would have received a penalty without mercy.
Thank you!
The two students expressed their gratitude and quickly disappeared, afraid of being caught by other teachers.
Theyll probably come to my class. Just because they feel grateful.
If they didnt come to class, Ethan intended to issue the penalty.
Ethan immediately took out a decoction from his pocket dimension. Normally, he could have observed the First Orders movements with the Eye of Horus and then consumed the decoction, but Ethan chose not to.
Taking decoction suddenly in a weakened state would only be more dangerous.
He knew from experience. A fragile body easily reached the brink of death due to things that seemed harmless.
I should be able to take it in my current condition.
Ethan quickly consumed the decoction in one gulp.
As the decoction entered his stomach, it bubbled and boiled, quickly spreading throughout Ethans body, starting to restore his stamina.
I should have it in the morning before starting work.
Perhaps it was because he had slept on the floor, but his hunger seemed stronger than usual.

Ethan Whiskers, is it true what I heard?
Principals office.
Ethan received a summons from the principal yesterday due to the incident.
Its true, Principal. I disciplined Chen Garcia.
I heard you almost hit him?
I followed the teaching methods I demonstrated during the interview.
As Ethan confidently responded, the principals expression became even more intrigued.
In fact, such cases were quite common.
An overly enthusiastic rookie teacher and a student from a noble family who sought to undermine the authority of the teachers.
Naturally, even if mana was limited, teachers were generally stronger.
As a result, incidents occurred frequently.
There were cases where teachers suffered, but in such instances, it usually ended with the teacher being humiliated. However, when students were affected, their high-ranking noble parents often came to visit.
And those parents were from prominent noble families.
It doesnt seem like you provoked this recklessly. Chen Garcia is the second child of the central noble family, the Garcias. The eldest graduated from our Ivecar Academy and serves in the Phoenix Knights, and the Garcia familys patriarch himself held a high-ranking position in the Phoenix Knights.
The Phoenix Knights were one of the most prestigious knight orders in the central region.
Of course, the education of their children was a mess. The incident arose from the eldest childs exceptional talent and the second child being given a little leeway.
Count Garcia seems to be furious. He insists on visiting the academy today to see the face of the rookie teacher who made his son like that.
The principal spoke while looking at Ethan, curious about his expression.
Ethan had the same face as yesterday. He didnt seem worried at all.
Is it a bluff?
If there was a problem, the teacher should educate him, not beat him.
If he had just apologized, Count Garcia might have been able to calm down and let it go. But now that it had come to this, Count Garcia couldnt just overlook it.
Go ahead and show me, teacher. Show me what you call education.
Is there a particular aspect that youre struggling with?
What?
I mean the aspect where youre struggling in Garcia Swordsmanship.
Was he really trying to teach him?
Why dont you show me?
Do you think Im struggling in Garcia Swordsmanship? If thats what you mean, I cant just let it slide, teacher!
In an instant, a powerful aura emanated from him. It was so intense that it made the skin tingle.
Ive seen Chens Garcia Swordsmanship. Chen may have some shortcomings in his skills, but theres also a fundamentally wrong path hes been taking.
So he understood that from Chens swordsmanship.
The principal was genuinely interested in Ethan. He wasnt just exceptionally skilled in teaching; there was more to him.
During the interview, the principal had hoped that he could become a master someday.
However, just like he declared at the celebration party, becoming a master within a year was practically impossible.
Perhaps.
Maybe it could happen.
Count Garcia, who was truly enraged, raised his wooden sword. Even though it was a wooden sword, if it hit properly, it could easily break bones.
Swish!
In an instant, he unleashed his Garcia Swordsmanship. Despite being the same swordsmanship as Chens, it appeared completely different, showcasing remarkable mastery.
Oh no.
He felt humiliated, and it was a strike filled with genuine intent.
Seeing that, the principal wanted to intervene. No matter what, the difference in their skills was too great to consider this as mere education.
But the principal couldnt stop him.
It was because Ethan effortlessly evaded his movements.
Hes looking at the tip of the sword with his eyes. Does that mean he can see it?
Ethan had been staring at the tip of Count Garcias sword until the very end. The difference in their skills was undoubtedly clear.
!
And now, the real fight began. Ethan swiftly spun around and delivered a lightning-fast strike with his wooden sword, almost simultaneously hitting Count Garcias waist and shoulder.
The speed was so fast that it was almost impossible to follow with the eyes, and even the struck Count Garcia was greatly taken aback.
If this had been a real blade, he would have suffered a fatal injury with just that one strike.
.
And he realized. He understood because he had wielded a sword for a long time.
If he hadnt defended against that attack just now, what stance would he have ended up in?
In his mind, he could envision how the sword would have swung.
No words came out. Eventually, Count Garcia lowered his wooden sword. Ethan didnt need to say anything; he already understood.
Teacher Whiskers.
Count Garcia bowed his head towards Ethan.
Thank you for educating my son.
What Ethan had done was undoubtedly education, not punishment.
* * *
You had him fired, didnt you, Father? My shoulder still feels stiff. Such a person should never become a teacher
Count Garcia slapped his approaching sons cheek with anticipation.
Chen.
Uh, Father?
Learn properly from Teacher Whiskers. It might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you.
W-What are you talking about, Father? Learn from him? This isnt education! I almost died!
Startled, Chen shouted in desperation. However, Count Garcias gaze was filled with indifference.
If you once again seek this fathers help through the actions of Teacher Whiskers, then you will receive education at home, not at the academy. Do you understand?
Father!
As Count Garcia left the scene, Chen looked at his retreating figure with a hopeless expression.
What on earth is happening?
The situation was taking a strange turn.
