-Achievent unlocked!
-[Completion of Skill] Achievent unlocked, youve earned Likes!
-Gained 3 Likes!
With this, Ethan now surpassed twenty Likes after achieving the achievent.
It seems I didnt get this achievent for Whiskers Swordsmanship since it was already at 100% from the beginning.
Following Whiskers Swordsmanship, Heos Acupuncture has also been completely mastered at 100%.
It was now fully his own.
True Heos Acupuncture.
When Heos Acupuncture was completed, it transford into a skill called True Heos Acupuncture.
Where the proficiency used to be displayed, [MASTER] was now clearly written, indicating the skills completion.
It was a skill he had first obtained by subscribing to [New World], and only now completed it.
He recalled when he first opened New World and obtained Heos Acupuncture in order to survive.
Compared to then, his health was recovered considerably now, to the point comparisons were aningless.
With this, I can keep my health at peak condition.
Survival probability continually decreases due to Extinction. But with True Heos Acupuncture, maintaining health would be perfect.
Furthermore, he could aim for health recovery and enhancent. Heo Juns acupuncture technique was an incredible skill.
I want to test the effects.
First, Ethan tested the effects on himself.
Chik-. Chik-. Chik-.
Oh, the precision has improved.
The basic precision when using acupuncture improved. Even if it was a little off, the needle accurately pierced the right spot.
Next, Ethan used the Five Elents Acupuncture Technique to apply buffs.
Oh ho.
The buffs from the original Five Elents Acupuncture Technique had ti limits.
The ti limit increased.
It was at least twice as long as before.
The number of needles I can make is now fifteen.
Ethan could now freely make, erase, and control a total of fifteen needles.
And Ethan looked at his fingertips.
The sensation has sharpened. This seems related to Pulse Diagnosis too.
Sensation at the fingertips was important to Pulse Diagnosis. Of course, it wasnt a real pulse diagnosis, just borrowing the skills power, but his fingertips becoming more sensitive ant Pulse Diagnosis effects increased too.
I can now do deeper, more certain Pulse Diagnoses.
Ethan used Pulse Diagnosis to check his own pulse.
Checking pulse.
Due to the powerful curse, the pulse cannot be grasped clearly!
Current status: fatigue, powerful curse
As expected, even this can barely detect anything with the curse.
He kept trying to figure out and find another way to detect his illness, but as expected, Extinction was a trendous curse.
But Pulse Diagnosis effects definitely increased after mastering Heos Acupuncture.
There are benefits to mastering it.
After bidding the Golden Wolves he fought with farewell, Ethan imdiately used Wind Cloud.
The war god Ares awaited a reply to his letter.
However, no letter ca the next day, or the day after that, or the day after the next.
At first, he was angry, but now he didnt even feel anger anymore.
Im the lacking one.
And suddenly realized.
Just waiting will accomplish nothing. With the passive attitude of just awaiting a reply, I can do nothing!
What was one of the important things in war?
Properly responding.
One must respond to the opponents actions, or predict and respond ahead of them.
But right now Ares was doing neither.
This was defeat.
A powerless defeat.
I need to re-examine myself. So he can choose ! I must beco a channel he wants!
As if having an epiphany, Ares busily started moving.
Athena watched Ares act like that and clicked her tongue in irritation.
Lord Ares, youre acting like a girl in love.
M-?
Saying you must re-examine yourself, be soone he chooses, beco a better channel? Thats called one-sided love.
That cant be.
Ares clapped.
Thats it, Athena. Soone with one-sided love still actively appeals! One-sided love alone cannot elicit a response!
His eyes blazed like fire.
He was called a warrior. Once lit, he planned to move properly.
I cannot miss this chance!
Before [Only subscribed to the right gods] showed up again, he had to make the other subscribe to him.
Now he planned to seduce not with letters, but with video quality and introductory copy that would make the other want to subscribe.
If it doesnt work, Ill keep at it until it does!
Even Athena, who had looked at Ares with contempt, quietly started following Ares thods.
The day of the last class before midterms arrived.
After todays class, a fairly big event awaited the Swordsmanship Departnt.
Through the principals notice, information circulated that the inter-departnt representative battle of the Swordsmanship Departnt would be officially held, and students who heard were extrely excited.
Especially those taking Understanding the Sword Path were even more so.
Did you see the notice? It said Teacher Claudie and Teacher Ethan will battle for the Swordsmanship Departnt representative spot?
Yeah, I checked it this morning. Looks like Teacher Ethan chose Mason and Ron Bears as reps, and even Yuna Garnet.
Teacher Claudies side has Max Jurod and Slos Pallo. Yuna Garnet was left out this ti, so Teacher Claudies side matched at two people too.
Can the 3rd ranked really win against the 1st?
Thats not the point. I heard Teacher Ethan said hell take one loss from the start instead of choosing a 3rd student?
What!? Then its over after just one loss?
Both Ron and Mason have high chances of losing. Why did the teacher do that?
It was already a disadvantageous situation just holding the normal departnt representative battle, but to intentionally take a loss from the start too. The chances of winning were even lower.
Impossible. But.
Hmmm.
Everyone thought it impossible, but at the sa ti, they sohow felt Ethan could make it happen.
They were instinctive thoughts.
So far, Teacher Ethan had sothing that made them expectant.
Sothing thrilling.
His bold actions like achieving the impossible left an impression. He was that kind of teacher.
All the things Teacher Ethans done so far were impossible things too.
Right, he succeeded at them all.
Hell make this work too, right? Masons completely reford recently too. At the parents observation class last week, he was seriously aweso.
I was surprised too.
Mason Yeld was certainly a skilled delinquent in the upper ranks until recently. But after taking Ethans classes, he was completely reford.
And Ron Bears was the worst ranked in Swordsmanship, unable to properly utilize his strength, but he was now gradually revealing his skills.
Rumble-.
The front door opened and Mason, who looked with sunken cheeks and sharp eyes, entered.
Until just recently he still had decently chubby cheeks, but now even his cheeks were sunken in.
Following after was Ron. This side went a step further, losing his bear-like appearance and completely transforming into a sharp look.
No way.
Just how much did they train.
The students looked at them, unable to believe it.
As expected, Ethan had plans.
Sothing.. is going to happen.
Itll be intense if it does.
While everyone stole glances at the two.
Ethan entered the classroom holding sothing, along with his two guards.
!
Its new.
What is that? A golem?
The students eyes lit up.
To be able to receive education with new teaching thods based on Understanding the Sword Path every week. How fortunate.
And that thing was a golem.
Using a golem for class was basically set.
Of course, there were clear limits to practical lessons using a golem, but Ethan surely knew that.
That ant while similar, the lesson would definitely be different from before.
But it was certain to be a far more efficient lesson.
The students eagerly awaited what kind of lesson Ethan would give, eyes shining.
As you can all tell, todays lesson is practical.
Their prediction was correct. The students imdiately concentrated on Ethans words.
I believe the most effective thod to understand the sword path is through practical experience. No matter how much you understand the sword path and make it your own, if you dont experience it practically, your swordsmanship has no life.
Only practical experience could breathe life into the sword path.
But as you know, practical lessons are far too dangerous. To have practical lessons, wed have to go up Grand Horn, and by the ti we ca back down, a few students from here might not make it back.
Gulp.
Chen Garcias eyes shook.
Seeing that, Ethan smiled.
So well have lessons safely using this special golem, with no risk of death.
At Ethans words, the students curiously looked over the golem. Just then, as if realizing sothing strange in Ethans words, a student raised their hand.
Ethan gestured for them to speak.
Theres no injury?
At that, Ethan spoke again.
Practical lessons with no risk of death.
Ethans words, as if asking how there could be no injuries during practical lessons, made everyone fall silent.
Uhh..
Hrmm.
The students quite pleasant anticipation instantly hardened. Seeing the students expressions, Ethan nodded satisfied.
Yerica.
Yes.
The overseer Yerica activated the special golems.
Rumble-!
Schudlen wore quite thick armor today.
Today he didnt need to give contemptuous looks and curses. His role was to jump in and stop the golems when things got dangerous.
Co out in order, ten at a ti.
The lesson promptly began.
The first ten students stood before the golem. Since todays lesson would likely be intense, they were spaced far apart.
That golem is special. It will clearly be different from the golems youve experienced before. So do not think it an ordinary golem.
Ethan said.
Consider it a definite enemy trying to kill you, and swing your sword as such.
Though they held wooden swords, bones could still be broken with them.
Begin.
Kwaaang-!
The mont it began, a student who charged at the golem was smashed by the wooden sword and flung back, imdiately losing consciousness after writhing about.
..Insane.
Wha, what is this!
As Ethan warned, it was not an ordinary golems movents.
That can happen if youre careless.
Ethan said with a smile.
