The Academy’s Undercover Professor – 105



◈ Episode 105 Operation Plan (1)

Kunst holds a large auction once a year.

And this year the organizers are putting in extra effort to open the event on a grand scale.

The largest auction on earth.

That’s why all the items in this auction are so rare that they are hard to find.

There is a piece of Relic that Ludger was desperately looking for.

Ludger’s initial goal was to obtain a piece of Relic.

However after recently experiencing something related to Luke I decided to change course slightly this time.

The organizer and general manager of this auction is none other than Ivan Luke.

That’s right.

This is the man who flirted with Selina and argued with Ludger at the last celebration.

Ludger still had something to pay back.

“I plan to reveal it in a grand way this time.”

In any case stealing relics is already a given.

In that case there is no reason to leave other valuables stored together while looting relics.

Recently a significant amount of the budget saved has been used up due to projects taking place in the slums.

If the opportunity arose it was necessary to prepare funds in advance for future preparations.

“Is there anyone who thinks this might not be the case?”

“leader. “I have one question.”

It was Alex who spoke first.

“okay. “Tell me.”

“Well robbing the Kunst auction house certainly seems like fun to me so I have no reason to refuse. “It doesn’t seem like there are any problems.”

“What would be an example?”

“hmm. First of all the auction being held this time is quite famous so much so that even I who just arrived in the city today know about it. “It must be of unprecedented interest to millionaires.”

“right. “The largest number of people will gather this time.”

“Rumors are already spreading overseas that the famous auction has decided to increase its scale to its maximum this time. All submitted works will be of the highest quality. So I understand what you’re talking about. But in other words security and security have been strengthened accordingly. But can you rob it?”

There was no one who denied that statement.

Because everyone was thinking the same thing.

As the scale grows more people will come and inevitably there will be a group of people who smell and become entangled.

Unless Luke Sa is an idiot he will take sufficient measures to prepare for unexpected dangers.

“And as far as I know I heard that no one has been able to rob the Kunst Auction House so far.”

This was what Alex was most worried about.

He raised his fingers one by one and pointed out the situation in detail.

“Kunst Auction House is the place where the most money circulates in Lederbelk. A single item costs a ridiculous amount of billions of denars and only people with the financial resources to buy it gather there. “Everyone knows what kind of people a rich person like that usually leads around right?”

Hans who was still answered instead.

“They must be escorts who boast a high price. “They are top-notch in both their records and skills.”

“That’s it. If you add the security forces hired by the auction organizer the Kunst auction house becomes truly an impregnable fortress.”

It’s not like there haven’t been people trying to steal items from the Kunst auction house.

In fact attempts to steal auction items using all kinds of methods have continued to exist from the past to the present.

If you count the number of attempts it’s well over three digits.

and.

Among them the number of times the Kunst auction house was robbed.

“It’s zero. It’s number 0. “This auction house now 20 years old has never allowed a thief’s muddy feet in the past 20 years.”

There was no one here who didn’t know what that meant.

Ludger is suggesting that these few members rob the Kunst Auction House where no one has succeeded for 20 years.

Alex shrugged his shoulders and joked.

“If you haven’t known each other on a regular basis you know that there’s nothing you can say even if you hear harsh words telling you not to say something crazy right?”

“I understand.”

“Well it’s not like we’re strangers when he said this but it’s actually the leader who said it himself.”

The reason why Alex stayed until the end instead of leaving.

The reason I took this absurd suggestion seriously instead of just ignoring it.

Because the person who said that was Ludger.

“If it were someone else I wouldn’t have believed it but if it was the leader who said it it would be a different story.”

Alex said this and looked at the reactions of his colleagues around him.

“what. “It seems like everyone else has the same thoughts as me.”

No one here was looking at Ludger with any suspicion.

Even though I am aware that it is nonsense I am taking Ludger’s words seriously.

This is a response that could never come out if there was not a solid trust built up.

“so. “What is the operation?”

“You’ll know once you see it. “Hans.”

When Ludger called his name Hans immediately moved. He took a large drawing sheet that had been left in the corner of the room and opened it in front of everyone.

Sheridan’s eyes lit up when he saw the picture spread out inside.

“Is this a drawing from the Kunst auction house?”

“okay. “It’s a real exhaust that I obtained with great difficulty from the person who built it 20 years ago.”

There were some parts that were worn out and worn out over time but the drawing itself was not erased perhaps because a lot of effort was put into storing it.

Ludger raised his finger and pointed at the bottom of the drawing.

“Our destination is right here.”

“Is this… underground?”

Ludger nodded in response to Arpa’s question.

The Kunst Auction House was a building whose size was beyond imagination and it had a huge underground space.

“It is an underground facility at the Kunst Auction House. “The items to be put up for auction are stored here 40 meters below the basement of the building.”

“40m? You’re crazy. “How do I get in here?”

“There is one elevator. There is no other way down. “There are no stairs.”

There is only one entrance.

And of course there is only one exit.

“It’s literally an optimized space to store only important items. “I guess it won’t matter as long as I sneak in somehow.”

Hans shook his head at Alex who was stroking his chin and muttering.

“It’s going to be hard.”

“Why?”

“The problem is not simply that there is only one entrance and exit. “The interior is so well-fortified that it resembles a royal castle.”

Hans took out several pieces of paper from his pocket and placed them on the drawing.

It was a blurry photo that wasn’t printed properly but it wasn’t legible.

“These are the guards of the Kunst Auction House.”

“Branch security? Hehe. “But are they all wearing armor?”

Bella Luna who was watching the photo closely said.

All of the people in the photo were heavily armed with armor.

Full plate mail is now a thing of the past.

Hans nodded.

“That’s right. Surprisingly the guys wearing this armor are the guards. While everyone else wears fancy uniforms these guys wear armor made of special alloy and protect the inside.”

“Is that possible?”

“I don’t know how much money was paid but the city has given permission to do this inside the Kunst Auction House. “An astronomical amount of money was poured into lobbying.”

“You spent that much? Just for the sake of equipping the internal guards with armor?”

“It’s a kind of display and the armor itself is not ordinary. It’s a specially made armor and it’s quite intimidating. And above all the contents inside the armor are not easy.”

Hans said that and took out the materials he had prepared separately.

Violetta thought it was fascinating to see that.

The Hans I’ve seen so far is the typical example of someone who is somewhat untrustworthy.

‘Where on earth did you get such materials?’

I realized why Ludger had that man by his side and why he said he specialized in gathering information.

“The guards at the Kunst Auction House are called Black Guards and this is a list of some of the people who belong to them.”

The data Hans took out contained the personal information of several people.

“A former mercenary leader who led a large mercenary group a retired knight a skilled knight etc.”

“Knight…is it? “It wouldn’t have been easy to fill the guards with this many people.”

“That’s how much money was poured into it. Of course the number is not that large and these guys work in shifts in three shifts… but that probably won’t happen on the day of the auction.”

A 30m underground space with only one entrance.

The troops guarding the inside are all knight-level.

Even if you consider the escort force of the guests visiting that day there will be no hole for even a needle to fit through.

“hmm. Still if it’s like this…”

Hans gave an additional blow to Alex who was wondering if there was any possibility.

“For your information the road leading to this underground storage room is filled with all kinds of alarms. “Only authorized people can pass through the entrance door to the basement and there is a magic alarm going off down there.”

“what?”

“And the most important thing is that you can check the state of the storage room in real time.”

“You can check it in real time? “Is that possible?”

“Look at this.”

Hans said that and brought out the materials he had prepared in advance.

“3 years ago. At the Old Magic Tower a wizard once presented a unique artifact. “It was something that I modified by modifying a contact crystal ball.”

“If it’s a crystal ball it’s something that allows you to make phone calls from a distance. “It’s interesting that they remodeled it.”

“Actually the Magic Tower decided that the artifact was useless based on its effectiveness. So instead of losing the patent it was actually rejected. But where on earth did they get the news Luke Company approached the wizard like a ghost? “They said they would buy the rights to the artifact.”

“And is this the artifact?”

The paper Hans brought had a rectangular glass plate drawn on it.

The magic crystal ball is shaped like a sphere made of glass mixed with magic stones and this glass was spread thinly and wide.

It seemed unfamiliar to others but it seemed familiar to Ludger.

Because it resembled the TV display seen on Earth.

“They say that compared to the existing crystal ball that communicates through voice this one is capable of transmitting and displaying images in real time.”

“oh my god. “I can’t believe that an artifact like this is used to store things!”

Sheridan trembled as if he was startled.

It was closer to anger that something of this size was being used for such a purpose rather than admiration for such a great artifact.

Hans continued his explanation ignoring Sheridan who was grinning.

“Anyway as long as there is an artifact that transmits the state of the storage room in real time even if we succeed in breaking in we are bound to get caught quickly.”

“…If we have to sum it up in the end is this it?”

Even entry and exit is strictly controlled and the only passage is an elevator that goes 30 meters underground.

Surrounded by guards wearing black armor. Even if you set the skills low among those with proven skills they are second-rate.

Magic warning signs dotted inside the underground space.

And finally an artifact that can monitor the internal scene in real time.

“Write.”

After putting it all together Alex was dumbfounded and tapped his forehead with his fingertip.

“Is it even possible to break through this?”

Everyone’s eyes turned to Ludger.

When I was told that I was going to rob him I answered cheerfully that I would but as I was told the internal conditions one by one my eyesight became overwhelming.

“of course.”

Despite everyone’s burdensome gaze Ludger nodded without changing his expression.

“It can break through.”

“leader. “Are you really serious about that?”

“There’s no reason for me to lie here right?”

“That’s… but.”

“It looks like they are most wary of this artifact that allows them to watch this real-time scene from a distance.”

Alex nodded.

Even if you try to fake everything else there seems to be no way to avoid watching the inside scene 24 hours a day.

‘What if I break it?’

That too is a problem. Even if you destroy it and hide it people will definitely come.

‘In the end I have to move without being caught by that artifact but there’s no way that’s possible since I’m not invisible.’

So I had no choice but to expect an answer from Ludger.

But Ludger was sincere.

To him the artifact that Hans showed him was already a familiar one.

‘I never thought something like modern CCTV would exist here.’

Of course considering the times artifacts made with this magic would be very innovative for the people here.

The law of destruction does not mean that it does not exist.

“I have an idea.”
