Subscriber of the Gods

Chapter 110: Roanna

Roanna was also very flustered that her disguise was seen through for the first time, but Ethan was also quite taken aback internally as he looked at Roanna.

What is she doing here?

Roanna du Prochet, the top talent discovered by Teacher Duty and the core of the current Magic Departments golden age as a second-year student.

Never in his wildest dreams did he expect that Roanna would come to his class first. Let alone sneak into his class.

I was going to try to contact her after the inter-departmental representative decision match.

She was from the Prochet family.

The Prochet family owned the famous Prochet Magic Tower, and her father was the master of Prochet Magic Tower.

Because of that, Roanna was able to easily access magic in the Magic Tower from a young age, and with her inherited talent she quickly began learning magic.

Her interest was in analyzing magic and utilizing it in new ways. There were many such magics in the Magic Tower, and countless magics became Roannas subject matter.

Absorbed in magic research, she entered the academy after graduation, and after quite some time had passed after graduating from the academy, she encountered an interesting magic.

The magic glyphs, brle, that she had been interested in since childhood but gave up on because it was too difficult.

These diverse utilization methods of brle came from Roanna.

In fact, the brle Ethan was currently using could be seen as one of the countless utilization methods Roanna had created.

The magic made to facilitate potion production had essentially been born from Roannas hands.

It was natural that Roanna, who could be called the owner of brle, would be interested in Ethans class.

It makes sense that Roanna would be interested. In terms of setting, shed have known about this brle since she was young.

Thats why Ethan was planning to use this brle to contact her.

And afterwards, during the inter-departmental representative decision match, he was planning to recruit Roanna to his side.

To definitively beat the Magic Department, that is.

But since she came to him first.

This could be an opportunity. If I went to Roanna first, it might look like Im asking for a favor.

Since she came directly to him, it seemed he could draw a slightly better picture.

Ethan opened his mouth while maintaining a composed expression.

Roanna, stand up immediately. I will formally tell the Dean about this incident, and there will be disadvantages for you. Were you prepared to recklessly enter my class knowing all that?

.Yes.

Roanna stood up from her seat.

Her pupils looked calm, but in reality, that was far from the truth.

Ever since entering the academy, this was the first time her disguise magic had been seen through.

It wasnt just any ordinary disguise magic. It was the Roanna-style disguise magic that she had personally enhanced.

Using this magic, she had been crashing various classes.

Not just Claudies classes, but also the late Martynass classes, and even new teachers classes she snuck into secretly.

In the process, she was never caught or even suspected.

Her disguise magic was just that perfect.

After sitting in on countless classes like that, she ended up going into classes almost everyday.

As she kept using the disguise magic, she gradually became more proficient, and was now confident she could cast disguise magic that would be completely undetectable.

But that disguise magic had been seen through.

First, Roanna stood up.

Im sorry.

Then she obediently went outside the classroom.

Before leaving, Roanna looked back at Ethan once. Ethan was continuing the lecture as if detecting Roannas disguise magic was nothing.

Ha.

Had her magic ever been dismantled to this extent before?

Her father, the master of the Magic Tower, was amazed by her talent everyday. At the academy, she was touted as the golden age, and they sang her praises so much she almost couldnt get her bearings.

It was natural. Roannas talent was extraordinarily outstanding after all.

Thats why having her trusted magic seen through made her feel quite unhappy.

But at the same time, her interest in Ethan grew fresher.

I have to ask.

She entered the class due to the many rumors. He was currently the hottest teacher, and most of all she had heard he would participate in the upcoming inter-departmental exchange, so she couldnt help but be interested.

Added to that was the shocking fact that a teacher from the Knight Department was teaching a Magic Department class, and all the students were attentively following along well.

There were several factors piquing Roannas curiosity, but the most interesting of all was the rumor about brle.

When she was at the Magic Tower, she had researched methods to utilize brle.

But upon entering the academy, she naturally ceased her research, so hearing that Ethan used brle in potion manufacturing made her unable to ignore it.

I did consider it before too, but gave up thinking it had no practical use.

Yet he succeeded in combining brle with potion production.

I have to ask about the brle too.

A professor from the Knight Department yet well-versed in magic.

She really wanted to personally confirm whether his skills were real or not.

That concludes todays class. The midterms will be on the brle utilization methods taught today. Study hard.

As Ethan exited, as if waiting, Roanna discretely approached.

She seemed to have been waiting outside the classroom until class ended.

She must have been curious.

In fact, Ethan was also curious why Roanna had snuck into class. He guessed it was probably because of brle, but if so, there was no need to sneak into class.

She could have just asked to meet Ethan directly.

Or maybe she was testing me.

What Roanna used was no ordinary disguise magic. It was clearly enhanced, making it extremely difficult to discern.

No mana ripples could be felt either, so he had to grasp it solely based on the sense of incongruity.

But I have the Eye of Horus.

Of course, it wasnt easy to notice even with the Eye of Horus.

But Ethan was who he was.

I sensed a strong feeling of incongruity.

Just as he answered Roanna, he truly grasped it through his senses.

Teacher, how did you know?

Looks like people just kept doting on you, Roanna du Prochet. What you did today was quite rude. And violated school rules. Yet youre stepping forward to satisfy your meager intellectual curiosity. Dont you have something to say first?

At Ethans cold words, Roanna was flustered and bowed her head deeply.

Im sorry, teacher. I was so curious about your class that I used disguise magic to sneak in.

What about the student you switched with?

It was Audrey. I forced her so for Audrey.

Due to your actions, your friend Audrey will also receive demerits. 10 points each. And afterward, Audrey will be excluded from class.

Ethan spoke firmly.

Roannas complexion paled at Ethans words.

Exclude Audrey from class?

Audrey was one of Roannas few friends, and had often excitedly told her how great this class was.

She suddenly recalled how Audrey had said she wanted to learn about utilizing brle if she did well on this class exam.

Today too, when asking her to sub in, Audrey had told her to be sure to summarize the class content for her afterward.

But because of herself, Audrey was being kicked out of class.

Tea, teacher?

Even after their brief exchange, she sensed Ethan would absolutely not retract this statement. She also felt this would not simply end with just this class.

The reflective Roanna bowed her head.

It was all my fault. Audrey is completely innocent. Im very sorry, teacher. I was wrong. So please let Audrey continue taking the class. I will take full responsibility.

However, Ethan shook his head.

Your talent is surely outstanding, Roanna. Thats why other students and professors overlooked rude behavior like this and let it slide. But I will not let it slide.

Ethan spoke.

Im not your nanny.

Roanna made a blank expression.

You must take responsibility for what youve done. Audrey, who substituted for you upon your request, must pay the price for those actions.

Ethan was right.

Up until now, she had lived doing whatever she wanted within the academy. She didnt hesitate even if it violated rules or could become problematic.

Since she wouldnt get caught anyway, or even if caught, she was often let off because Roanna was talented.

Living like that, she naturally thought this time would be the same.

Even if she did get caught, it would just blow over like an accident.

But the Ethan Whiskers before her was different from the other teachers she had met so far.

What should I do.

Roanna couldnt properly control her expression due to the extremely shocking situation.

And.

Ethan looked at her as if incredulous.

Who do you think you are to take responsibility? Do you think youre someone? Youre just a student. A young, talented student. Thats all you are. You cant take any responsibility.

At the harsh words that felt like blows to her chest, Roannas lips quivered.

Disregarding her like that, Ethans words continued.

Audrey is excluded from class. And given 10 demerits. Likewise, 10 demerits for Roanna du Prochet. This will not be reversed.

Ethan left, leaving Roanna behind.

Left alone, Roanna stood blankly in place for some time after Ethan disappeared.

Shell come to me today.

Roanna was swept away by the winds of praise, as she was touted as the golden age here and there.

Not only were her shoulders as high as the sky, she was even becoming more and more arrogant.

It was natural. No one casually treated her, and most wrongdoings were let slide.

Thats why I have to discipline her more strictly.

Currently, not a single person strictly treats Roanna, called the center of the golden age of the Magic Department.

She was the future of the Magic Department, and would become one of the greatest mages produced by the academy, a magnificent mage to be counted among the top three fingers.

Its definite shell become an Archmage.

When that happens, shell of course become so arrogant that no one can control her.

There was no one who could or would try to control her.

Alone at the top, the end of arrogance. No one knew which way shed lash out so people really hated her.

When she seemed to open up to someone and they tried to do something together, her attitude would suddenly change.

And many died from crossing the line.

The reason was right here.

Her overflowing talent made her arrogant.

The problem was people around her who kept egging her on, doting on her.

Ill put a leash on her.

If its before she becomes a great mage, theres plenty of time to leash her. And Ethan had the diverse utilization methods of brle.

He could sufficiently recruit Roanna using these methods as weapons.

I have to wait for her to come.

She wont be able to endure otherwise.

Ethan was the only one at the academy who was strict with her.
