Subscriber of the Gods-Chapter 139: I Know Everything

I Know Everything

An enraged Yerica was terrifying.

Schudlen merely held Tresis down so he couldn’t move. It was entirely Yerica who dealt with Tresis.

“You piece of trash, how dare you in front of me.”

“Urk, gack.”

Yerica actively used the magic she inherited from Hecate. How dare he insult her grandfather in front of her.

She thought that indeed, all the association bastards should be killed.

As she attacked Tresis with numerous spells as if to kill him, the mages who were working with Tresis became terrified.

They weren’t fully grasping the current situation.

It was truly a sudden and unprecedented event.

Even though at least one of them wanted to go out and report this situation, they couldn’t move properly because Ethan was blocking the way.

“Why, why are you doing this?”

“Do you really not know?”

Ethan coldly said while looking at them.

“You mages should know better. How despicable the things you’ve been doing are.”

“We just…!”

“You’re only in charge of the overall magic registration for the rights and interests of mages. But you’re evaluating and criticizing as if you were archmages. Do you think that’s right?”

If he had gotten angry, they could have at least made excuses.

The mages shut their mouths at Ethan’s icy voice. They felt that if they made any excuses here, their necks would be cut right away.

‘The reason they could do such trashy things without any trouble is because, after all, the association has authority.’

It’s certain that even though the Magic Association is trash, it’s a place with tremendous authority.

That’s why even as the number of victims suffering from the association increased, numerous mages continued to come to the association.

After all, they properly registered the magic of high-circle mages that was really difficult for magic department circles to handle.

‘It’s also related to the Twelve Families, and above all, the Magic Tower owner is a 7th circle Archmage.’

Ethan looked at Tresis.

Tresis was in a mess due to Yerica.

‘Basically, I’ve aimed to play in a way that doesn’t make enemies.’

But as you move, you inevitably end up making enemies.

‘If you make an enemy, you must thoroughly crush that enemy.’

That’s how to avoid trouble later.

Scarlet, who was watching the scene, was just blinking her eyes.

Her expression seemed to ask if this was really okay.

“Yekaterina.”

“Yes, Ethan. This much…”

Having sufficiently vented her anger, Yerica took rough breaths. Tresis was already a mess and kept begging to be spared.

Ethan approached such a Tresis.

“How many mages must have said such words to you? This magic is my magic. Please don’t take it away. Even our Miss Scarlet here said so just now. You said absolutely not, didn’t you?”

Ethan picked up the parchment placed on Tresis’s desk.

When he unfolded the parchment, the content of Scarlet’s magic registered with only the name changed was fully visible.

“But here’s the evidence?”

“Urghhhh…”

Tresis groaned.

“Yekaterina, make it more certain. So he can never do this kind of thing again.”

When Ethan, who Yerica thought would tell her to stop, told her to make it certain, Yerica gritted her teeth.

“I’ll make it certain! Miss Scarlet, would you like to join?”

She didn’t want to stop here anyway. When Yerica asked, Scarlet hesitated but soon nodded.

“Schudlen, wait by the door. The association’s executives will be coming down soon.”

Since they’ve caused such a commotion, the association’s executives will come to see what’s happening.

Until now, there probably hasn’t been anyone who dared to cause a disturbance in the association, but Ethan was different.

“Mister Mirhak.”

“…Yes.”

Mirhak was calculating in his head.

The association will definitely not let this incident slide. Even if it’s the association’s fault, they will demand responsibility for attacking a mage like this in the Magic Association.

But Ethan looked at Mirhak as if to say not to worry.

“Because we have definitive evidence. The person I asked you to put out a wanted notice for is evidence of Tresis’s wrongdoings.”

“You already had evidence?”

Since Mirhak still didn’t know Ethan well, he thought he had acted out of anger.

“Yes.”

If there’s definitive evidence, it can be overlooked even if an association-affiliated mage is beaten to a pulp.

Rather, Garnet’s side could make a fuss and talk about compensation.

‘Did he knows from the beginning that it would turn out like this?’

Mirhak couldn’t help but shake his head in admiration.

Despite clearly saying it was a person vouched for by Garnet, to embezzle like this. How corrupt is the association?

Ethan sat in a chair and waited, looking towards the door.

Bang bang bang-!

As soon as he sat down, the mages outside knocked on the door.

“Let them in.”

When Schudlen opened the door, the displeased expressions of the mages were visible. The mages who were about to enter immediately looked at Ethan sitting there.

The mages flinched momentarily at the aura emanating from Ethan. It felt like they shouldn’t go inside for some reason.

But the mage at the very back came straight in.

“What is the meaning of this!”

“You ask what this is?”

Ethan looked at the mage while sitting in his place.

‘6th circle, Metheus, head of the association’s disciplinary unit.’

He looked slightly younger than the face he knew, but his skills seemed similar then and now.

“Aren’t you the head of the disciplinary unit!”

Mirhak stepped forward.

“…Mirhak Mirhak, what on earth is this?”

“That’s what I want to ask! I never thought you would commit such rudeness to a mage vouched for by our Garnet Merchant Guild!”

“Rudeness? What rudeness? Our mage has been beaten to a pulp, and you call it rudeness?”

“Urghhhh…”

Tresis spat out his broken teeth. He had already lost two front teeth, and his eyes were swollen from how much he had been hit.

“Stop this!”

Even though the disciplinary unit in charge of the association’s dirty work and force had entered, Yerica and Scarlet didn’t stop.

What Yerica had been ordered by Ethan was to deal with him so he could never do such a thing again.

Of course, while sparing his life.

The angry head of the disciplinary unit reached out his hand.

But the head of the disciplinary unit, who was about to cast a spell, had to stop.

It was because Ethan had drawn his sword.

Crackle-.

His lightning sword scattered yellow lightning around.

“You seem to be the head of the disciplinary unit, but we are meting out punishment on behalf of the association to a troublesome employee. Shouldn’t you not interfere then?”

At the academy, he naturally had to act like a teacher.

But there was no need to act like a teacher outside the academy.

“Meting out punishment on our behalf, what nonsense! This is one-sided violence!”

“Violence, you say. Do you see the mage over there meting out punishment along with our escort mage? She tried to register a dyeing magic but had that magic stolen. Me too. My business partner’s magic was rejected as is.”

Ethan said this and threw the parchment of Clean Magic. The head of the disciplinary unit who caught it immediately looked at the parchment.

It was a parchment with a clear fail mark stamped on it.

“What is this…”

The expression of the head of the disciplinary unit, who was reading the contents, hardened.

The Clean Magic written on the parchment Ethan gave was not ordinary Clean Magic.

Existing Clean Magic is divided into several branches.

This is because they can each remove different types of contamination magic.

However, this Clean Magic was different.

It could remove all types of contaminants and had many additional effects.

In short, it was superior to any Clean Magic that had come out so far.

If you were an association mage, no, at least a certification examiner, it wasn’t a magic that you would fail.

Yet it had a fail certification mark stamped on it.

“From this, we can know two things. If the fail was given by mistake, it’s the association’s fault for putting an unqualified person as an examiner. If they gave a fail knowing this, there must be some reason, so it’s the association’s fault for putting such a person as an examiner.”

For whatever reason, the association couldn’t be free from blame.

Before the head of the disciplinary unit could come to his senses, Ethan’s words continued.

“And there’s one more thing.”

“You’re saying there’s more? Like this?”

“The magic I mentioned earlier that was stolen.” freёnovelkiss.com

Ethan handed over the parchment with the content and formula of the dyeing magic he had received from Scarlet. It also had a fail certification mark stamped on it.

Moreover, in this case, Tresis had quickly registered a similar magic.

“He saw this parchment and copied it to register a similar magic”

“What on earth is this…”

The head of the disciplinary unit, who read the parchment next, couldn’t help but tremble.

It was perfect evidence.

Evidence of all the wrongdoings committed by Tresis, the examiner.

It was to the extent that he couldn’t even make an excuse.

“Is this still one-sided violence? Or have we meted out punishment on your behalf? It seems the association should give up its name at this rate. Instead of protecting the public interest of mages, you’re thoroughly pursuing private interests.”

“Kuk…”

This 𝓬ontent is taken from freeweɓnovel.cѳm.

At Ethan’s words, the head of the disciplinary unit had no choice but to keep his mouth shut like a mute who had eaten honey.

“Please tell us clearly, head of the disciplinary unit. We can’t just let this slide!”

With most opponents, even if they were in the wrong, they could suppress them with power and authority.

But the opponent was the Garnet Merchant Guild, and a person vouched for by that Merchant Guild.

Moreover, Ethan’s high reputation definitely affected the head of the disciplinary unit.

‘There are certainly advantages to having a high reputation like this.’

Even without explicitly revealing that he was a teacher at the academy, thanks to his high reputation, the other side couldn’t move recklessly.

“For now, it’s certainly wrong regarding this case, but the evidence that Tresis did such a thing…”

At that moment, the sound of someone running urgently was heard.

“Mister Mirhak!”

Hearing the voice calling for him, Mirhak smiled and looked at the head of the disciplinary unit.

“We have definitive evidence.”

***

“That’s right… I registered the name instead and gave all the profits that could be obtained from there to Mister Tresis. Sob.”

It was definitive evidence.

The head of the disciplinary unit could no longer deny it.

“It’s our side’s fault. We’re truly sorry.”

The head of the disciplinary unit’s tone had completely changed.

“That’s not enough. We need to talk with the Magic Tower owner.”

Mirhak and the head of the disciplinary unit were surprised by Ethan’s blunt words.

Mirhak thought they would roughly end it at the level of the head of the disciplinary unit.

But the Magic Tower owner?

‘We need to escalate this further.’

Ethan intended to definitely escalate the situation.

Only by going up to the Magic Tower owner could they receive proper compensation.

The reason was simple.

This incident was related all the way up to the Magic Tower owner.

The head of the disciplinary unit made a troubled expression but soon nodded.

It wasn’t something he could handle at his level.

“I’ll inform the tower owner for now.”

And not long after, the head of the disciplinary unit returned.

“Let’s go.”

The head of the disciplinary unit guided the group to the Magic Tower owner’s room.

Finally arriving and opening the door, a huge Magic Tower owner’s room greeted the group.

“Welcome. I heard our mage committed a discourtesy.”

There was a mage wearing a pointed hat with a long gray beard.

The head of the Magic Association and the owner of the Magic Tower.

It was Munin Decale.

“From what I hear, it seems we’ve been discourteous in many ways due to the magic certification issue. Let’s sit down and talk first.”

“Let’s do that.”

Ethan smiled and entered for now.

‘Keep allies close.’

And enemies even closer.

So that the other side doesn’t think of you as an enemy.

***

“A problem has occurred. So how’s Tresis’s condition?”

“He’s severely injured. He’s not dead, but…”

“Stupid fool. He should have done it in moderation.”

The Magic Tower owner sighed.

In fact, the Magic Tower owner was also fully aware of the corruption Tresis was engaging in.

The reason he left it alone was that the Magic Tower owner was receiving the largest share of the profits from Tresis’s magic embezzlement.

“We’ll have to give them some compensation and send them back. We can’t afford to fall out with the Garnet Merchant Guild right now.”

The Magic Tower owner who greeted Ethan immediately sat him down.

“I’m really sorry about this.”

He was willing to grant anything as long as the compensation wasn’t excessive.

“I’ll definitely deal with the examiner. To think he was doing such things. So how should we compensate you?”

“Compensation isn’t necessary.”

“…Huh?”

Ethan said once more.

“I don’t want compensation.”

And then he stared straight at the Magic Tower owner.

The Magic Tower owner didn’t avoid that gaze.

‘What’s with this guy? He doesn’t want it? Suddenly? Didn’t he come to me seeking compensation?’

There was something strange about the look in his eyes.

“There’s no need to make this a big issue. Of course, I agree with firing that examiner.”

Ethan said this while tapping the table, tap, tap. The sound of tapping on the table slowly spread around.

“There must be quite a few people involved, wouldn’t the association be turned upside down? I don’t want it to go that far.”

At those words, the Magic Tower owner’s expression completely hardened.

‘This guy.’

He clearly knows something.

“No, no. I’ll definitely compensate you. You should receive compensation for this!”

The Magic Tower owner was quick-witted. Even though he said he didn’t want compensation, that wasn’t the truth.

‘He knows everything, so he’s telling me to give proper compensation as hush money!’

“If you’re going to do that, I’ll accept it for now.”

“I’ll grant anything I can. I’m truly sorry.”

“What I want is…”

Unexpected words flowed from Ethan’s mouth.

“Please give me the position of certification examiner.”
