The Academy’s Undercover Professor – 102



◈ Episode 102 Flowers blooming on abandoned streets (2)

“yes? “You’re robbing the Kunst auction house?”

Violetta who was listening to Ludger mumbled something like that without realizing it and then immediately covered her mouth with her hand.

There were many listening ears around.

Normally she would not have made such a minor mistake but the shock was so great.

“There are a lot of people here so let’s go back to the hideout and finish talking.”

“oh. “Do you have a hideout?”

“Because in order to secure a place in the future we need at least two or three more.”

Alex shrugged his shoulders saying there was nothing he could do and followed Ludger with light steps.

“Rather than that a leader. “If you bring people together do the members come together?”

“Those members?”

“You know. Unusual people the leader often talked about. “Aren’t they all human?”

“okay. “It was like that.”

Ludger nodded and answered yes.

“Besides you the rest of us are probably in this city by now.”

“oh. I’m really curious about that. What kind of people are they? “What if it’s too ordinary compared to what I expected?”

“What part of normal are you talking about?”

“You know what. “Still the ability may be there but it’s just something that came with it.”

At those words Ludger stopped for a moment.

He pondered something and moved his feet again.

“That won’t happen.”

Lederbelk train station.

The station which boasts a floating population of tens of thousands of people every day was crowded with people even in broad daylight.

Clockwork machines installed here and there whirled announcing the arrival of the next train.

Some people checked their tickets and sat down thinking that they had not registered yet while others who were going to take this train gathered their luggage and stood on the platform to wait for the upcoming train.

Baaaaang!

Soon a train arrived in the distance honking its horn and emitting steam.

“Ellie. let’s go.”

A woman grabbed a child’s hand.

Was it because I was in too much of a hurry that I pulled it too hard? A child who was only 6 years old lost the balloon he was holding.

“mom! “My balloon!”

“oh.”

The balloon had already risen to a height that was beyond the child’s reach. My mother tried to correct it but it was too late.

Before we knew it the floating balloon had reached a height that was difficult for even adults to catch.

“balloon!”

It was the moment when the child looked at that scene with tearful eyes.

Tup.

A huge clumsy hand came out and grabbed the balloon’s string.

The child raised his head and looked up at the person who held the balloon.

“Wow.”

To a child all adults seemed tall but even taking that into account the man in front of him seemed especially huge.

People around him were also surprised by the man’s size and glanced at him as they passed by.

“here.”

The giant bowed his head and handed the balloon to the child.

The child’s eyes lit up and he returned the balloon that had left his hand.

“thank you! Giant man!”

The man with long white hair like a lion’s mane responded by lightly flicking the brim of the hat on his head.

plod along.

Every time the giant walked down the street people would pave the way for him.

At that moment a young voice came from right behind him.

“Mr. Pantos too. “You move first but do you know the way?”

Surprisingly the giant had one companion.

Everyone was so surprised by his size that they didn’t even think to pay attention to the short man next to him.

He was a man in contrast to the rugged big man.

Even his bright smiling appearance at an age that seems to be at the crossroads between boy and young man.

He was a man to whom the word “midong (美童)” suited him.

Pantos a large man stopped in his tracks for a moment at the words of his colleague standing next to him and scratched his head with his thick fingers.

It was a behavior he usually displayed when he was shy or embarrassed.

The small man took the lead jabbing Pantos’ waist with his forearm as if he knew he would do so.

“Follow me. “Because the leader told me where to come.”

“How do you know?”

“At that time it was delivered through a crystal ball. Pantos you were listening too but you didn’t know?”

“I don’t remember.”

“yes yes. “I guess so.”

Just like that the two strange people a thin man and a gray-haired giant took their first steps into Lederbelk.

* * *

“think.”

The place where Ludger took Alex and Violetta was a secret hideout that he was using for his newly founded organization.

“older brother. “Are you here?”

“okay. “Hans.”

Hans who noticed that Ludger had come welcomed him.

However unlike usual Hans had dark circles under his eyes.

“I guess you’ve been tired lately?”

“Not recently. I was tired before. “The kid I hate the most has arrived.”

Just then the object that had made Hans so tired appeared.

“uh? lol. Oh it’s been a while. boss.”

“okay. “It’s been a while.”

She was a woman with a gloomy appearance.

Her orange hair colored as dark as autumn leaves was so unkempt that it resembled a magpie nest.

Her appearance was so beautiful that everyone would unanimously call her a beauty but her unique gloomy aura earnest smile and quivering pupils undermined all of her strengths.

Violetta looked at her closely and was surprised.

“You’re an elf right?”

The most noticeable thing was her ears.

Elves are a sub-race that is said to be beautiful and gifted with the power of nature.

The gloomy woman with orange hair and her pointed ears revealed her identity.

“yes yes. “I’m an elf~.”

She seemed like someone who was on drugs as she answered with such a bright smile.

Since he didn’t think he could even say his own name properly in that state Ludger decided to introduce her instead.

“It’s Bella Luna Petana. As you can see they are elves and are mainly responsible for producing drugs and chemicals. “He has medical knowledge and is also skilled in alchemy.”

“…An elf?”

Alex who was meeting Bella Luna for the first time also asked back as if surprised by Ludger’s words.

“why. Is there a problem?”

“That’s not to say there aren’t problems. That person is not an elf. okay. “Didn’t you say that girl Bella Luna is an elf?”

“yes.”

“Don’t you think it’s strange? Elves… make drugs? “Do you have extensive medical knowledge?”

Alex’s point was valid.

Elves are a race of the forest and are loved by nature. That is why elves worship nature more than anyone else and have an extreme aversion to artificial things.

Medicines made by humans and all kinds of new chemical products that appear due to the advancement of science.

Those were the things the elves hated most.

However it is hard to believe that there are elves who make medicine and chemicals.

“Not all elves are like that. Alex. Don’t you think other races will look at you and think that all humans are con artists who only reveal women?”

“That’s what I heard but why isn’t my evaluation very low?”

“And don’t you think that’s a very old-fashioned idea? Elves have also accepted change for a long time. “That statement is extremely discriminatory against elves.”

Elves still mainly live in huge forests that are rarely visited by humans but since the war of conquest that took place half a century ago many elves have accepted changes in the world.

Among them there were elves who traveled to learn about the wider world and there were also elves who were fascinated by the field of science.

“Of course Bellaruna is the weirdest among elves… but she has a strong personality. “That skill is real.”

“Didn’t you just try to be a freak?”

“Anyway she will be of great help to us.”

Even the magic reagents that Ludger uses when fighting are all created by her.

Bella Luna grinned as if it was nice to hear such a compliment.

Then he soon remembered what he had come here for and immediately approached Hans.

“now. Mr. Hans? “Shall we talk about this story we couldn’t do before?”

“Ugh! Get away from me! You crazy elf! older brother! Please help me!”

Hans begged clutching Ludger’s trouser legs.

“I haven’t been able to sleep well since that crazy elf came! “They’re trying to use me as a test subject whenever they get the chance!”

The past few days like a nightmare passed before Hans’ eyes like a panorama.

Aren’t they going to approach you at any given time and try to forcibly steal your body tissue?

Don’t they secretly put strange drugs into the food they eat?

He crawls into my bed while I’m sleeping at night and stabs me with a scalpel.

Bella Luna smiled and answered.

“Ha Mr. Hans. What a madman. “I’m just a seeker of knowledge who likes new discoveries.”

“Why are you shouting that knowledge while pointing a knife at me!”

“That’s because Mr. Hans has a very attractive constitution. So it’s okay right? Wouldn’t it be okay to have at least one finger? “I might grow back later when I transform…”

“Why did you grow up again?” “Get away from me!”

Ludger sighed.

It seemed like there was a need to clean up this mess first.

“Huh? “Everyone is already here?”

At that time a clear voice was heard through the open entrance.

Everyone’s eyes turned towards that.

Between the boy and the young man who were smiling brightly in this direction I saw a man and a large man with long white hair.

“You both arrived on time.”

“yes. “I almost ended up being late because Mr. Pantos took another strange route.”

“I see. Anyway almost all of the people who will be gathered through this have gathered. “Come in.”

Ludger clapped his hands and drew everyone’s attention.

“Some of you may already know each other but there will also be people you are meeting for the first time today. “Let’s go into detail.”

* * *

The large room created for the meeting was filled with all kinds of people.

Some sit on the sofa some stand still and some lean against the wall.

Ludger placed his butt halfway on the work table and opened his mouth.

“Everyone came together well. Everyone knows why I called you. I now plan to end my long wandering life and settle down in earnest. And at the same time I plan to create my own force.”

“You mean the footrest is this leather velcro?”

Ludger nodded to the question of Alex who was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed and his chin lifted.

“As you all know most of the people gathered here even though I invited them probably don’t know each other. So let’s each briefly introduce ourselves.”

Hans was the first to step forward.

“Hans. As you can see I’ve known you and my brother for quite a long time. “My main job is collecting and organizing information.”

Is this an expression of his unwillingness to be looked down upon at this moment?

Hans tensed his neck and gave off a somewhat solemn look.

“My introduction ends here….”

“Hans.”

“Why are you doing this brother?”

“You should tell me something else too.”

“Anything else? Could it be… even that?”

Hans’ expression hardened when he realized what Ludger was telling him to say.

“Are you serious?”

“This is a colleague I will be working with in the future. “It’s better to say it now since it will inevitably be revealed while working.”

“Hmm. “If you say that then what…”

Hans hesitated a little before revealing his true abilities.

“It’s because I have a somewhat unusual constitution. Compared to other people you can say that you are exceptional. But it’s not that it’s strange or anything…”

Since Hans thought of his ability as a curse he was not very happy to say it.

In the end Sheridan who couldn’t stand Hans’ muttering got up from his seat and gently approached behind Hans.

She took an animal’s tooth out of her pocket and stabbed Hans.

“Ouch!”

Hans screamed.

Hans looked back and saw Sheridan giggling and the animal’s teeth in her hand and her face looked like she was about to cry.

“Ssi. “This is why I didn’t want to talk about it.”

At the same time change began.

“oh.”

“oh my god.”

“Wow.”

Various reactions.

Anyone would do this if an ordinary human suddenly grew hair on their body and transformed into a half-human half-animal form.

Rather the reaction of the people gathered here was a little more dull than expected.

The transformed Hans looked at his hands and then glared at Sheridan.

“What kind of teeth are you using?!”

“I just brought it because a stray cat was grinding its teeth.”

“Go cat?”

Hans hastily looked in the mirror. He now had a bizarre appearance that was half cat and half human.

Hans suddenly felt a strong urge to lick his own fur with his tongue.

“Hans. Take it.”

Ludger took out a reagent ampoule from his pocket and handed it to Hans.

“Thank you. older brother.”

Hans took the ampoule and immediately injected it into his body.

Eventually his size gradually decreased and he returned to his original human form.

Ludger opened his mouth.

“As you can see Hans has the characteristic of accepting the nature of a beast into his body and turning into that beast. Although he is not a combat agent this special characteristic is also an advantage that only Hans has.”

“Hwiyu. What’s great? “How can a human not even a beast change like that?”

Alex’s eyes lit up as if he was impressed.

Ludger stared at the audience.

“And so do you. “As much as I sang you all there is something special about you all.”

All sorts of things Ludger encountered while wandering around the continent for a long time.

People who could not fit in with those around them because they had special abilities and outstanding talents.

Ludger reached out to them and invited them to join him.

Because special things suit special people.

“So who will make the next introduction?”
