Chapter 98: Yuna Garnet (1)

Chapter 98: Yuna Garnet (1)

Yuna had siblings.

Although called siblings, they were all half-siblings. Their mothers, apart from Yunas mother, were daughters of famous noble families.

Phew, how can I live feeling so wronged here?

The half-siblings were heavily suppressing Yuna, who had sharp senses, using the power of their maternal families.

Because Yunas influence was greater than any of her other siblings.

Before entering the academy, Yuna was the youngest branch leader of the Garnet Merchant Guild and had succeeded in various businesses.

Thanks to that, everyone thought Yuna would become the successor of the Merchant Guild.

Therefore, her siblings tried to reduce Yunas influence and kick her out of the successor position while she was at the academy.

But that wouldnt be easy.

Otherwise, Yuna wouldnt have been able to rise to that position.

Since continued attempts had failed, they ended up bringing out what they shouldnt have.

Sending an assassin?

Yuna closed her eyes.

Although she had arrogantly talked about qualification as a successor to Mason, her situation wasnt much different.

She had been attacked while briefly leaving the academy grounds.

If she hadnt prepared guards in advance, she could have died or been seriously injured.

This time, she fully realized something.

That while she had a lot of money, she had no one trustworthy.

But trust built with money isnt necessarily a bad thing.

Trust built with money was usually thicker than most trust relationships.

But at the same time, she knew.

That trust built with money could be shattered with even more money.

That was also why she had entered the academy.

To gain people she could mutually trust.

I was thinking of making some friends too.

Gaining friends.

But it wasnt easy.

Before she knew it, she had acted as she always did at the academy, and in the end only people bound by money remained by her side.

But how would I know that they didnt come for my money and background.

Of course, since Ivecar Academy was a prestigious academy, many students didnt only care about money, but they too couldnt be unaffected by money.

Besides, the name Garnet Merchant Guild was a coveted one even among the students.

Did they think they could attack me and just survive unscathed? I just dont know. I didnt think they would make such lukewarm moves.

Yuna hadnt succeeded in business through only legal means.

She had seized things by force before, and hired people to steal as well.

Whats with me doing this whole academy life thing.

Yuna crumpled the parchment in her hand.

As she was contemplating revenge, Yuna suddenly thought of Ethan.

Hes an interesting person. How can he be like that?

Ethan was different from anyone she had seen before.

Most teachers never disclosed their core techniques.

From the students perspective, they might complain, Then why become a teacher? But Yuna understood.

It was all worth its weight in gold.

In other words, revealing it was no different from giving away money.

But who would want to give to others when they themselves were lacking?

However, Ethan shared his core techniques with all the students.

Yuna couldnt help but be shocked by his actions.

She had never seen any other teacher behave like that before.

-I will make Ivecar the best academy.

-I will become the best teacher.

-I will ensure that you do not regret taking this class.

Many teachers made grand speeches. But there was no one like Ethan, who demonstrated his actions and achievements.

So, I wanted to spend a little more time with him.

She felt quite nervous when he invited her to the coffee house.

What could he want to talk to her about?

She was very curious about what he had to say.

And what she heard when they met was something that matched her excitement.

But it was already too late for everything.

She had already decided to drop out of the academy.

Phew.

She decided to let out all her emotions with a sigh. The academy was never right for her from the beginning.

Things like trust were nothing but mirages.

What was important was financial power. She had to have financial backing to gain everything.

But something feels strange. Those two arent brave enough to take such drastic action, sending an assassin.

As Yuna was thinking, she motioned.

Pantera.

The guard she had brought to the academy, Pantera, immediately appeared before her and bowed at the waist.

Yes, Lady Yuna.

Right now

Yuna closed her mouth mid-sentence.

For some reason, Pantera was fully armed.

You!

I apologize, Lady Yuna.

Pantera struck the back of Yunas neck with icy eyes.

Im just following orders.

Yuna saw Panteras emotionless eyes amidst her darkening vision.

Do you really think thats possible, Teacher?

At Ron Bearss words, Ethan nodded firmly. Seeing that confidence, Ron felt like he might have some latent potential he didnt know of himself.

After the parents observation class, not only the 75 who had participated in that class, but even students who had only heard about the class had come to revere Ethan.

You still dont know your own worth. Dont keep thinking youll be at the bottom of the Swordsmanship Department forever. Youre continuously getting stronger.

Because he had been at the bottom rank for so long, Ron lacked confidence.

Although he had been growing quickly recently, he still seemed to lack confidence.

Ethan patted Rons back to encourage him.

I believe you can do it. If you cant, then I was wrong in my judgment.

No.

At that, Ron firmly said,

I understand, Teacher. I will prove that your judgment wasnt wrong.

For Mason and Ron to participate in the department exchange battle, grades were important.

While Mason was fine, Ron was currently in a dire situation grade-wise. But that was because he hadnt known the method until now.

Now that he knew the method, he would be able to get proper grades starting next class.

It was the same for Mason.

I think you know without me saying, Mason.

Come to think of it, thats how it was. No one at the academy believed in me. Only you, Teacher, believed in me.

Mason now trusted, no, revered Ethan.

I dont know what you saw in me, but thanks to you, I received praise from my father. It really has been a while. And my two brothers expressions were great too. You should have seen it directly.

He formed a rare, kind smile. But he quickly wiped the expression away and opened his mouth again.

Since youve placed your expectations on me

Mason continued in a confident tone.

I will live up to those expectations. Definitely.

A fire had been lit in Mason.

That flame would surely soar to the heavens without knowing limits. The one who had ignited that flame was Ethan.

-Survival probability increases!

Now Ive properly placed the spoon.

Including this parents observation class, Ethans fame had reached 1,000.

Of course, that still wasnt enough fame to meet the saint.

The minimum was 10,000.

Because she was wrapped so tightly in veils, without a minimum of 10,000 fame, he wouldnt even have the chance to meet her.

But still, things were going according to plan.

Since he had already raised the hard-to-raise fame to 1,000.

Now there wont be anyone at the academy who doesnt know me, and talk of me will have spread through Marquis Rond Territory as well.

Thanks to the 1,000 fame, talk would spread much more quickly.

Even if they didnt recognize his face, if his name was mentioned, many would now recognize him.

But the risks have also increased just as much.

What he had to be most careful of were the followers of the Moon.

The followers of the Moon had informants in many different areas and had also laid out countless schemes for their goal.

As I become more famous, theyll start digging for information about me as well.

Ethan intended to get involved as little as possible in the followers of the Moons schemes.

However, if the followers of the Moon got entangled in the plans he had laid out, he would inevitably have to interfere.

The more my fame rises, the stronger the followers of the Moons wariness towards me will also become. Then instead of sending First Order, they might send an Apostle.

Until now, with his fame not that high yet, Ethan had been able to move freely without his identity being exposed.

Thanks to that, he had been able to obscure their vision and respond when the monster attack happened.

But now, if he recklessly intervened, things could go greatly awry.

They are the main villains of MePan, after all.

The might of that main villain group couldnt be ignored.

Ill have to actively use [New World].

Ethan intended to use the trait he had obtained, [Double Caster].

Double Caster was a rare trait that allowed obtaining two classes that could normally only be obtained once.

Ill obtain the most aggressive class from the classes Ive obtained so far.

Moonforces descendant was Defense.

And offense with the class he would newly obtain.

Although this is also quite difficult to obtain like Moonforce

He had already obtained this before.

Because he already had the strategy guide, Ethan wasnt too worried.

But he couldnt help but worry about other things.

Because Ive changed many futures while moving around. Thats the biggest problem.

To control that variable, he needed to grow much stronger than now.

For now, I need to control the variable with the skills and stats I currently have. Anything insufficient has to be obtained through [New World] subscriptions or by growing and obtaining it.

Currently, Ethan possessed a variety of skills.

Starting with Heos Acupuncture, there was also Heros Breathing, Heos Decoction skills, and the Bone Muscle Control he had learned while disciplining Chen Garcia.

And theres Eye of Horus, Wind Cloud, and Great Thiefs Mastery too.

And he was also raising the proficiency of various other skills.

First I need to master Heos Acupuncture.

Excluding Whiskers Swordsmanship, he didnt have any skills at 100% proficiency yet.

In other words, there were no skills he could bring out 100% of the power of.

Its not just obtaining skills, but also maximizing proficiency.

Itll be better to do it efficiently in [New World] rather than just practicing.

Ethan turned on New World and went to find Heo Juns channel after a long time.

After Ethan had left a subscription review, Heo Juns channel, which had greatly surged in popularity, had surged once more thanks to Ethan becoming even more famous.

The shabby channel he had first seen had now become a semi-major channel.

-Youre a premium subscriber of the Eastern Physician of All Things [Heo Jun]!

As if to prove he was a premium subscriber, flower petals burst out wherever Ethan looked.

Oh, the treatment is no joke.

When Ethan had first subscribed to Heo Jun, there were only two videos, but now Heo Juns channel had a total of seven videos.

-Premium subscriber service!

-All of Heo Juns videos are provided for free!

Huh?

Even Heo Juns new videos were free, only for Ethan.

For a moment, Ethan felt as if he could see Heo Juns benevolent smile.
