“This is the Ramsdale domain!”
The Ramsdale domain, the territory of the Sword Saint and Ciron Ramsdale’s hotown.
This place was different from other domains right from the entrance.
It had an appearance that exuded magnificence and a strength that seed impenetrable by any attack.
“It’s like a fortress.”
Har Deka, who ca to the Ramsdale domain for the first ti, looked at the entrance with surprised eyes.
As she said, this Ramsdale domain was a city developed specifically for war, to the extent of being called a fortress city.
Since the Sword Saint had been obsessed with fighting from a very young age, the domain had developed accordingly.
He had repeatedly reinforced the domain, spending enormous amounts of money.
“We arrived earlier than expected.”
Thanks to Ciron Ramsdale’s guidance, the group was able to arrive at the Ramsdale domain earlier than the training conference schedule.
“I’ll guide you. Please follow , teachers.”
Ciron was already grinning from ear to ear.
This Ramsdale domain was virtually his ho, with no place he didn’t know, so he seed eager to guide the other teachers to the good places he knew.
Until now, he thought Ethan was the main character holding the initiative of the group, but now that they had arrived at the Ramsdale domain, it was clear he thought he would take the lead.
“This way, please!”
Ciron first planned a course that would allow them to quickly survey the Ramsdale domain.
“Wow!”
“The lord’s castle is huge!”
The enormous lord’s castle, the bustling market, the beautiful residential areas within the domain, and the pride of the Ramsdale domain, the 5-tier fountain.
The new teachers who ca to the Ramsdale domain for the first ti were very satisfied with Ciron’s guidance.
Especially Har, unlike her usual self, had dramatic changes in her expression. A slight redness rose to her face, to the point where one could feel the heat.
Ciron was very satisfied with this sight.
Now it was ti to show the much-anticipated highlight.
“This is the tea house with the best taste in our Ramsdale domain. I used to visit here every day.”
The tea house of the Ramsdale domain.
Ciron exchanged greetings with the owner of the tea house and quickly returned after ordering tea.
“There are a lot of people, Teacher Ciron.”
“It’s so delicious that people even co from nearby domains, Dean.”
“Seeing your confidence, I’m quite looking forward to it.”
Iris and Nadia also showed great expectations for Ciron’s confidence, as if they had visited various tea houses before.
But Ethan wasn’t very interested in the tea.
Instead, he was naturally looking around here and there using the Eye of Horus.
And before long, his gaze was fixed on the server bringing the ordered tea.
“I’ve brought your ordered tea.”
Following the server’s words, Ethan continued.
“Where did you go in such a hurry yesterday? I was going to give you good information. Bet everything on Ivecar. Even borrow as much as you can.”
When Ethan spoke to the server as if they knew each other, the other teachers looked at the server.
“Do you… know him, Teacher Ethan?”
Ciron asked, slightly puzzled, as this was surely their first ti here.
“I saw him yesterday.”
At those words, the server smiled slightly.
“As expected, you’re amazing. You knew everything from the start.”
Then he bowed politely to Claudie and the two Deans.
Only then did the other teachers grasp the situation.
Yesterday, when there was trouble with Goode Academy.
Ethan had explained that those two people probably weren’t real gamblers.
But even if they wanted to confirm, they couldn’t. Those two people had already disappeared.
“And I apologize, Young Master.”
“What?”
Ciron’s expression turned to surprise. It was because the server’s face, which had returned to its original form for a mont, was a familiar face.
“Bernie?”
“Yes, Young Master. It’s .”
“Were you also the gambler from yesterday, Bernie?”
“It was my subordinate.”
“Wow, then the training conference started from that mont?”
“Yes, as you know, the Sword Saint…”
“I know, I know. It’s okay, no need to apologize. I know my grandfather’s personality best.”
Ciron smiled awkwardly.
“I can’t believe I didn’t recognize you.”
“It’s beyond amazing to recognized . So please don’t worry too much, Young Master.”
“Ah, I’m late with the introduction. This is Bernie, a mber of my grandfather’s direct unit.”
“I’m Bernie.”
Bernie briefly introduced himself.
“The two Deans and Teacher Claudie who are the leaders probably know, but the new teachers probably don’t, so I’ll explain in detail. This new teacher training conference has already begun.”
“…What?”
“It’s already started?”
“…”
The three teachers from the Magic Departnt looked surprised.
“But we haven’t done anything…”
“All evaluations for the new teacher training conference are scored on an academy basis. All actions, from diating the fight in the dining hall to dueling with the teacher from Goode Academy, have been recorded as points.”
At those words, Claudie Hyde crossed his arms.
As he said when they left, there was no need to worry as Ethan would handle most things well.
“That’s a relief.”
“Still, I want to learn a lot and be evaluated at this training conference.”
“Will the subsequent tests… be the sa?”
When Har asked, Bernie shook his head.
“No. Only the entrance exam was conducted secretly. I’m sorry I couldn’t tell you separately. It was a direct order from the Sword Saint, so I had to keep it secret.”
Bernie said this and bowed his head slightly.
“Let’s listen while we drink.”
Ciron felt very bitter.
But it couldn’t be helped. This was entirely due to his lack of ability. Rather, Ethan’s insight in detecting his grandfather’s subordinates could be seen as amazing.
In the past, he would have been furiously angry, but not anymore.
Thanks to Ethan, he had co to clearly recognize his shortcomings.
Just because you’re lacking doesn’t an you’ll be lacking forever; you can acknowledge it and move forward.
After organizing his thoughts, Ciron offered tea to the teachers to change the atmosphere. Putting aside his bitter feelings, he wanted to show off the tea from this tea house for now.
Following Ciron’s suggestion, the teachers who took a sip of the tea placed in front of them suddenly widened their eyes.
“Wow…”
“This aroma…”
“It’s delicious…”
The taste was so excellent that it was clear why Ciron had been so confident. Even Ethan sipped the tea with admiration.
‘Oh.’
It was so excellent that he wanted to take the tea master back to the Whiskers domain.
For a mont, Ethan and Claudie’s eyes t. Claudie seed to have the sa thought.
The fact that they had the sa thought ant that their tastes were similar.
As Claudie had enjoyed tea for quite a long ti, he thought his eye for good tea was much higher than his level.
‘I’ve drunk my fair share too.’
Tea promotes the flow of mana, helping with quick mana recovery. So Ethan had been drinking tea like a potion.
“How is it?”
“It’s excellent, Teacher Ciron. Thank you so much for bringing us to a place like this.”
“Hahaha.”
Ciron bead, seeming to feel a bit better at Ethan’s praise.
The other teachers also praised Ciron.
“You seem too happy, Teacher Ciron. As if you made it yourself.”
“Ah, I didn’t make it, but…”
The atmosphere suddenly beca awkward.
“Still, your eye for it is quite good.”
“Th-thank you.”
The first part was just said out of awkwardness, but the latter part was actually the main point, though Ethan didn’t need to explain each and every bit.
After drinking a cup of tea each, Bernie continued his explanation.
“This training conference is scheduled to proceed in three stages over five days. Basically, since it’s a training conducted for the overall improvent of all academies, it focuses on education rather than competition.”
That’s what he said, but Ethan wasn’t one to believe it. They had been scoring from the very beginning.
‘The Sword Saint likes to rank people.’
“First, there will be classes related to the proper education thod for students. We’ve invited various lecturers, so you’ll be able to attend various classes. The second is a practical test based on theoretical classes. You’ll give lectures yourself and be evaluated. And the third is an academy competition test.”
At Bernie’s words, one teacher asked.
“Academy competition test?”
“Yes, the third part can be seen as entertainnt, essentially. It’s a mock battle between academies. The mock battles consist of duels and monster subjugation.”
‘That’s like the Sword Saint.’
Claudie Hyde’s expression changed slightly upon hearing Bernie’s words.
“The Sword Saint really put a lot of effort into this.”
“Yes, that’s right. The Sword Saint prepared this with the hope that all of this year’s new teachers would beco masters or master candidates. He likes to nurture juniors, after all.”
Of course, the reason for nurturing juniors was that he wanted talented individuals to appear who could properly fight him, but still.
‘Too many strong people have such thoughts.’
The Principal of Freya Academy was like that too, for instance.
“Teacher Claudie, you look like you want to participate in this training?”
At the Knight Departnt Dean’s words, Claudie nodded.
“It looks interesting. When I participated in the training conference, we only attended lectures and took tests.”
“Then how will the grades for this training conference be determined?”
To Nadia’s question, Bernie put on a confident expression as if to say not to worry.
“We’ve invited a teacher who is a Master. That person will grade the overall performance of this training conference. Of course, they’ll also teach classes.”
“What!?”
“A, a Master?”
“Yes.”
They never thought a Master would be invited. Currently, there were quite few teachers with Master qualifications, and most of them were affiliated with countries rather than academies.
However, there was one Master teacher affiliated with an academy rather than a country.
“Is it perhaps the Master teacher at Freya Academy?”
“No. We’ve invited Master Regia from the Holy Empire’s imperial palace, who works as a teacher there.”
Regia Malcher.
As soon as they heard that na, everyone’s expressions hardened.
“The, the first Master… ca-ca here?”
Iris was greatly surprised. Regia was a teacher who had taught the current emperor of the Holy Empire and was also teaching the princes and princesses under him.
It was hard to believe that the teacher who had taught nurous high-ranking officials of the Holy Empire had co to a new teacher training conference.
“Wow! It’s like a dream! I’ve always wanted to et Master Regia soday!”
Nadia’s eyes sparkled. Har, sitting next to her, was also nervously fidgeting with her hands.
Regia was a role model admired and aspired to by all teachers or those dreaming of becoming teachers.
“Hmm.”
Claudie’s eyes also showed quite a bit of anticipation.
Only Ethan showed no change in expression.
Bernie was greatly surprised by Ethan’s expression. To show no change in expression even after hearing about Regia being invited.
Does it an that even Regia Malcher, who stands at the very top among Master teachers, is not such an impressive figure to Ethan?
While Bernie was inwardly surprised, Ethan was actually cursing inside.
‘Damn it.’
He didn’t expect Regia to co.
‘To think that person would be invited. They should be the most difficult person to invite.’
Regia was Ethan’s teacher.
“How were you able to invite Master Regia?”
In fact, even Ciron was greatly surprised. Even with the Sword Saint’s wide and impressive network, it shouldn’t extend to the level of reaching Regia Malcher.
“They said there was soone they really wanted to see.”
Saying that, Bernie looked at Ethan.
“They ant Lord Ethan Whiskers.”
