The Academy’s Undercover Professor – 10



◈ Episode 10 Disguised Employment (2)

The man was like a quiet lake with mist rising at dawn.

It’s cold chilly and still.

Like a peaceful sleep that is not shaken each action is controlled quiet and without unnecessary details.

Even when the classroom door is closed.

Even when the shoe steps up the podium.

Even when putting documents on the desk.

There is no sound.

The silence engulfed the entire classroom like ripples on the water.

“uh….”

Even the noble students who kept talking were swept away by the atmosphere and kept their mouths shut.

The students who had been quiet turned their eyes to the main character standing on the podium their eyes shining with curiosity.

The suit that matched his tall stature didn’t have a single wrinkle. On top of that a black frock coat that fits perfectly to the body is added.

Stylish yet not overly attire.

When the man takes off the top hat on his head and throws it lightly it flies smoothly toward the hanger in the corner of the church and lands.

While the series of movements seemed so natural his appearance hidden by the hat was revealed.

Sharp jawline and straight nose. Unwavering eyes.

His strong yet charismatic eyes were so sharp that he could not possibly be seen as a new teacher.

For a man his long hair was tied neatly at the nape of his neck.

Gulp.

Some noble students who were secretly gossiping behind their backs were overwhelmed by the force and swallowed their saliva without realizing it.

“Nice to meet you. “My name is Ludger Chelsea who has been appointed to the newly established academy.”

The moment he opens his mouth and makes a sound.

Like pouring water on a dreamy watercolor painting.

The atmosphere of the classroom which had been immersed in quiet silence returned to reality.

“First of all since it is the first day of school I will not go to class right away. However we will make an announcement in advance.”

I slowly hung the frock coat I had taken off on the hanger.

It wasn’t difficult to carry on the conversation. All I had to do was recite the words I had thought of in advance at the right time.

This is a kind of play.

I am an actor on stage and the students are the audience.

All you have to do is follow your breathing follow the flow and continue your monologue naturally.

Because the script is all in my head.

“My class is manifestation series. However there will be no teaching purely about the realm of manifestation. Rather I will focus on going beyond the principles and applying them in real life closer to practice.”

As I glanced around the crowd I saw several people shaking their shoulders.

That’s a good response.

Since this status included a soldier in the past no student would look at him strangely even if he maintained this tone of voice and intense gaze.

“And for the class not only second year students but also first year students can apply. In other words it can be seen as a joint class for 1st and 2nd graders.”

My words began to murmur in various places.

The students gathered now were all second year students so it was natural to be embarrassed.

However there is no school rule that classes must be divided by grade so it was not impossible.

The moment the noise slowly died down I opened my mouth at the most appropriate time.

“stop.”

Stand tall.

In an instant the noise inside the classroom disappears.

Everyone’s eyes are drawn here again.

“It is natural for second-year students to be dissatisfied with having to take classes with first-year students. But don’t worry. “Because I’m being considerate of first-year students I won’t teach obvious things that only beginners would learn.”

Reactions filled with relief flow from everywhere at those words.

Seorn Academy’s teaching method is closer to a university than a high school.

However since it is not completely university it can be seen as a bit ambiguous. Stores and the penalty point system are representative examples.

Seorn students choose the courses they want to take based on their specialties and earn credits by completing the courses.

The students here are called prodigies wherever they go.

Even if you are a first year student there is no significant difference compared to a second year student. With that in mind I decided to conduct joint classes for first and second year students.

why?

Whenever second graders gather together talk about teachers inevitably comes up.

The main target of the curiosity of the second graders who have already known each other well for a year is not their classmates in the same grade but me the new teacher.

But what if a first-year student who has just entered school is in the same classroom?

The second-year students’ attention is distributed to the first-year juniors.

Then the number of people saying things about me will definitely decrease.

Although there may be complaints they do not go any further than that.

The existence of first-year students is a kind of smokescreen and breakwater that prevents anyone from doubting my qualifications as a teacher.

“Why are you allowing first-year students to take the class as well?”

Someone suddenly raised their hand and said.

When I looked I saw that it was a female student with wavy blonde hair that had grown down to her waist.

The unwavering gaze directed in this direction has a strong sense of stubbornness.

People around recognized her and were talking among themselves. what? Is he a hot kid?

When I looked closely I saw a somewhat familiar face.

That face… I’ve seen it before somewhere.

‘A person who is reluctant to think of something…’

Since I was asked a question I decided to answer it.

“Because I thought they also needed a chance.”

“What do you mean by opportunity?”

“I think it is very unfortunate that my classes only have to be for a certain grade level. That is absolutely not the right attitude for an educator. Giving equal teaching to everyone regardless of grade. “That is my opinion.”

Well you may be asking why they don’t mention anything after the third year here.

Of course they can take my classes if they want. However it will be difficult for third graders to digest the required subjects they are learning right away.

Actually the only time I can afford it is until the second year.

“Of course this means that the classes I teach are not limited by grade. “I’m proud that it’s definitely different from the existing ones.”

Well it’s not something you just throw out without thinking.

Because I made sure to prepare for class.

There’s nothing I can’t do for a peaceful future just a few of the tips I have.

“It is difficult to understand unless you explain exactly what the class is.”

“If you’re curious you can come take my class. “It’s not fun to tell you in advance.”

As she spoke intentionally a small wrinkle appeared on the blonde’s forehead.

I’m sorry but I don’t plan on telling you what I’m going to teach right now.

Rather I was planning to make them more curious by making them anxious.

There is nothing that makes students attending the academy more wary than an unknown class where they do not know what will be taught.

“Just one warning. “If there is someone who wants to take my class with the foolish idea that they will get grades easily because I am a new teacher.”

After deliberately taking a moment to catch my breath.

I exhale the last word strongly.

“At that time I will personally engrave in your bones what true education is.”

That is if you interpret the last sentence.

Please don’t come to my class.

If a second-year student had to take classes with a first-year student their pride would be hurt.

They even openly warned that the class was not that easy so the guys with high self-esteem said ‘That’s not a good class. ‘Don’t listen!’ There was a high possibility that it would be passed over.

If you so openly spread a land mine and it explodes if you step on it it’s honestly the fault of the person who stepped on it.

Of course if you just blurt out this entire process you will be disqualified as a teacher.

I created a loophole for this process by packaging it up with a good reason.

There’s a reason for everything. You will understand when you take the class.

It’s no different from throwing away irresponsible checks but what can you do?

Of course this is the only way I can do it as I have not lived by regular methods.

“That’s it. “Do you have any questions?”

I asked that question prepared for the students to raise their hands and criticize me.

* * *

The inside of the classroom was quiet.

None of the students raised their hands when Ludger asked if they had any questions.

Everyone is just rolling their eyes and looking at each other.

It’s not that there aren’t questions. I also liked small questions about how assignments would be done what the exact curriculum of the class was or what was taught previously.

But no one said it out loud.

Everyone was overwhelmed by Ludger Chelsea’s spirit.

‘That’s the new teacher?’

‘They say he was a soldier and the atmosphere is no joke.’

‘There is a saying that it is at least 4th rank. Is it true?’

A pressure that is unbelievable for a young person. If you feel out of breath just by making eye contact it’s definitely not because of your mood.

Even the noble students who had dismissed their opponents as fallen aristocrats only swallowed dry saliva while avoiding Ludger’s gaze.

Even though they are from the upper class there is no way other students would dare to come forward.

This is what everyone felt implicitly while listening to Ludger’s words.

That man never said anything in vain.

twinkle. speech. Even a confident voice.

Unless a person is truly proud of his or her class he or she would never show such a reaction.

What on earth are you trying to teach me? If it is not limited by theory is it practical? So how does it actually work?

In everyone’s head such complex thoughts appeared and disappeared repeatedly like bubbles.

But one thing is certain.

The class taught by a teacher named Ludger Chelisi is definitely not going to be easy.

“Any questions?”

His voice asks again.

It may seem like someone wanting to ask a question but the students were not fooled.

The moment you raise your hand and open your mouth you will be immediately captured by Ludger.

Look at those eyes that look like they’re going to eat me. The will to never allow questions to be asked is clearly conveyed.

The blonde girl who first raised her hand also stayed still now.

“No. In that case this will end the opening ceremony.”

First day of semester.

The breathtaking orientation ended like that.

* * *

When the orientation ended students got up one by one and left the classroom.

I watched the scene closely from the podium.

First of all I said everything I wanted to say so I guess you understood everything right?

But I was honestly shocked that no one raised their hand when asked to ask a question.

Up until the night before I was prepared to be asked all kinds of questions and even prepared answers but it was all useless.

Aren’t academies like this usually filled with kids with strong egos?

I thought they would think I was funny and bombard me with questions but maybe I was overthinking it.

‘no. wait for a sec.’

The opposite may be true.

What if you were actually chewing on my words intentionally?

I’ve heard of it. Aren’t such cases common in 21st century Korea?

When a new teacher arrives students intentionally ignore them and do not pay any attention to them.

This is especially true for female teachers.

This is mainly a method used by Iljin students to take control of the class from the teacher.

It’s a skill that you can’t stop even if you know it. If you subtly say to yourself ‘Oh that’s so loud’ and then get angry you’ll get a response like ‘You didn’t say that to the teacher right?’

Maybe the reason no one answered what I said was a similar case.

‘hmm.’

I tried to sound scary on purpose and spoke as seriously as possible but did that backfire?

Perhaps this coercive tone or behavior may have hurt the pride of students who consider themselves geniuses.

‘Then it’s a bit of a big deal.’

In the military a successor is senior at work a second-in-command is a gunner and in school a student ignores a teacher.

This is often said to have worked.

It is obvious that if you lose control of the atmosphere in the beginning future classes will be disrupted.

So should we treat each other in a more friendly manner?

‘no. If you suddenly do that now it will be perceived as even more strange. I just have to push through this until the end.’

Smiling and being friendly just doesn’t suit my temperament.

This is because my nature is the same and most of the roles I have played so far have had this type of personality.

Besides it’s already been three weeks since I came here.

Everyone already knows what kind of person Ludger is. It’s funny that soldiers are included in the war record but now they’re pretending that they aren’t.

I put on the frock coat that was hanging on a hanger and put on a hat.

Meanwhile the students remaining in the classroom did not approach me.

It’s not that I’m not interested. Because I could clearly feel the eyes trying to analyze this area.

Still I thought he would ask the standard questions like how old are you or if you have a girlfriend but I didn’t know that he wouldn’t open his mouth.

That’s scary. Kids these days.

Step by step. Step by step.

I left the classroom at a leisurely pace and slowly walked down the hallway.

It was the first day of the semester anyway so that was all I had to do for today.

Since the course registration correction period has not yet ended you can change the course for those who want to change the course and leave the same for those who do not.

The first class begins in earnest in three days.

Until then let’s think seriously about how I can take control of the class from the students.

At the very least you should avoid being told that you are not qualified to be a teacher.

While thinking that I checked the front and saw that all the students walking down the hallway were looking at me and avoiding the path.

When both male and female students spot me walking they get startled and cling to the wall or window.

What is it? Why do you say that?

Could it be that the rumor about the seemingly easy-going new teacher has already spread throughout the academy?

I heard that there is a community within the academy where opinions can be exchanged like the university community ‘Everytime’. Is that really why?

Just when I was thinking that the classes ahead were going to be quite difficult someone spoke to me.

“hello.”

I stopped and stared at the woman who smiled and spoke to me.

“Are you the newly appointed Mr. Ludger Chelisi?”

“yes. you’re right.”

She was an attractive woman with slightly wavy pink hair and a warm sheep-like smile.

Seeing as he wasn’t wearing a uniform it seemed like he wasn’t a student.

if?

Before I could even find out anything she started making a fuss.

“Oh of course! nice to meet you My name is Selina. I am a new teacher who has been appointed to the newly established academy. “It could be said to be Mr. Ludger’s motivation.”

“okay. nice to meet you.”

When I asked her what I had come for Selina looked at me as if she was a little embarrassed and spoke quietly in a hushed voice.

“Well… have you eaten yet?”
