The Academy’s Undercover Professor – 107



◈ Episode 107: The shadow of the past narrows in (1)

“…But isn’t it a compliment to say that you resemble the 1st princess?”

“What on earth did you hear me say? “My sister is a dangerous person?”

Erendir still got chills when she thought of her older sister the First Princess.

Although she came to Seorn to avoid her sister’s attention and oppression her fear of her still remained deep inside her like a scar.

That was the reason why Erendir did not like Ludger very much from the first time he saw him.

The teacher looked like her older sister.

“…Hmm. “I don’t know.”

In fact it didn’t really hit Line that Ludger was a dangerous person.

My first impression was that he was such a scary person that it was difficult to even approach him but when I actually talked to him it was easy to see that he wasn’t that kind of person.

‘He also saved me in a dangerous moment.’

When there was a fight at the training ground when a werewolf attacked and when I almost got caught up in the fire giant’s attack at the banquet hall.

Ludger saved her.

He even gave me advice on non-attribute magic and lent me a book containing the method.

‘Huh? When I think about it like this I… I only received something from Mr. Ludger but I didn’t do anything for him.’

Of course there may be a difference in the status of a student and a teacher but even so if you just receive it and do nothing it is a problem.

‘What should I do for you?’

I thought about it for a while but I couldn’t think of any special gift.

Because Ludger didn’t seem like someone who needed anything.

Above all since I was currently eating a meal with Erendir I had no time to divert my thoughts to other places.

“anyway! Rine junior! Be careful with Mr. Ludger. Okay? Absolutely!”

“Uh yes… I’ll try.”

“Whew. “Then that’s enough.”

“Are you okay now senior? “It seems like you’ve been very busy since the exam.”

“…any. “Could you please stop talking about exams?”

Erendir avoided Linne’s gaze as if he was being stabbed for no reason.

I wanted to show off as a senior but I messed up the exam so it wasn’t usually something to be ashamed of.

In order to protect the royal family the maids who followed him pestered him to study.

Because of that it was painful not to be able to meet Line a friend I had only recently made.

“Hmm. But it’s okay now. “Because I was guaranteed free time.”

Of course if I fail the next exam it will be worse than this but that’s what happens then.

“Oh yes.”

The more confidently Erendir spoke the more Linne felt uneasy.

Just having these feelings wouldn’t constitute a crime of insulting the imperial family right?

“So will we continue to eat together next week?”

Line suddenly remembered that she had made a dinner date with Freuden not long ago.

I don’t think appointments should overlap.

If this is not possible it seems necessary to tell the senior in advance whether you want to eat together or postpone it to a later date.

“Well wouldn’t it be difficult when classes don’t overlap? And next week… well. “I’ll be busy then.”

“What’s going on?”

“There’s a big auction taking place at Kunst Auction House next week. But why are they earnestly asking me to come?”

Although Erendir was a princess she did not particularly like such formal situations.

However the problem this time was that Luke held an auction so large that a significant number of key figures from other countries gathered there.

Even in the Empire a suitable person was needed to go but Erendir was the only suitable person who could afford it.

At least she was not the type of person to ignore the responsibility of her status.

So although it will definitely be a troublesome and frustrating place I have no choice but to visit as a princess.

“It must be difficult for you too.”

“Are you worried? “Thank you.”

“Ehehe. “What?”

“Still I’m worried about Lee’s junior. Without me Lee’s junior won’t be lonely either. “I have to eat alone.”

“Yeah what…”

I couldn’t tell Erendir who was looking at this place with sincere disapproval that there were more people I was meeting.

For some reason Erendir seemed to view himself as a friendless ‘peer’.

Here if you say ‘Is there anyone who wants to eat separately?’ how will Erendir react?

‘Let’s not do it.’

I really didn’t want to say that out of curiosity.

“Anyway have a nice trip. senior. “Don’t get hurt like I did.”

“He too. It’s just for show purposes and I’ll come back a little later. “The Kunst Auction House is a famous place within the Exilion Empire so the security is excellent.”

Erendir waved his hand and told him not to worry.

“don’t worry. “Could something happen there?”

* * *

Lindebrugne the capital of the Exilion Empire.

At the center of the huge city was a magnificent white castle shining dazzlingly in the sunlight with deep roots.

A throne room occupying a corner of the imperial castle.

A woman entered a dark place where the light was not coming in properly and dark shadows were cast even in broad daylight.

She was a beauty with long silver hair that reached her waist and fierce eyes.

“Did you call me?”

Terrier Lion Howl.

She got down on one knee and bowed her head towards the person who called her.

“Hmm.”

But there was no reply from the other party.

Terina stayed silent with her head down.

The person sitting at the head of the throne room is not visible. Because there is a shadow all that is visible is part of the lower body and the right hand which receives a little light.

The white and delicate corn was moving the pieces around on the chessboard next to it.

Just right.

After placing the last piece audibly on the chessboard the owner of the throne room opened his mouth.

“I heard that the investigation failed.”

“There is no shame.”

“It’s a strange thing. “I can’t believe Ryan Howl is returning without being able to figure out what happened.”

At first glance it seemed like he was criticizing her abilities but he didn’t.

The owner of the voice was purely amazed at the fact that she had failed.

“There is no shame in the princess.”

“It’s done. “Lift your head up.”

Once permission was given Terina was able to raise her head.

“So you really didn’t get anything?”

“It has been confirmed that some kind of experiment took place. but….”

“You mean you didn’t know any more than that.”

“yes.”

“Hmm.”

The owner of the voice seemed to think for a moment then moved his hand again and grabbed a chess piece.

It was a white knight.

“The werewolf incident that occurred in Lederbelk.”

She muttered that and knocked over a black pawn on the chessboard.

“The death of the wealthy Belbot Rickson.”

And then he pushes another black phone and knocks it down.

“The remains of a burned-out factory.”

Tuk. Another black pawn falls.

And when the pure white knight reached the end of the chessboard.

The unstoppable hand suddenly stopped.

Because on the chessboard where there should be nothing there was one piece blocking the path ahead.

“Hoo.”

The plan went wrong.

If things had gone as she planned Terina would have discovered the real culprit behind this incident and caught the tail of those behind it.

However the flow suddenly stopped in the middle as if someone had cut it with scissors.

“There was an obstructionist. “I hadn’t even guessed.”

“…If you call me a disruptor.”

“The person who obstructed your investigation and covered up this incident.”

The owner of the throne room placed the knight on the chessboard.

In front of the pure white knight is the black king.

The knight was blocked by it and could not advance.

Just like Terry or Ryan Howle himself who encountered difficulties in the investigation.

“Originally the whole incident should have ended smoothly but it turned out to be wrong. “It was my mistake.”

In fact there was a hint of joy in her voice as she said that.

Terina was secretly surprised by that appearance.

The existence before your eyes. Because the owner of this throne room admitted that he had made a mistake.

She controls and controls everything in the world like pieces on a chessboard.

And in fact she had the ability and talent to do so.

At least out of everything Terina has seen so far she has definitely never failed.

“I don’t know how long it’s been since this happened. “There’s an intruder I never expected.”

“Has something similar happened before?”

“I did. Ah I guess it was when you weren’t around at that time.”

“Yes.”

“Well it’s not a big deal. “It’s a story about the humble times when I was young and didn’t really have any power of my own.”

Now she wields the power to control even the National Security Agency a nationally recognized agency with one hand.

It didn’t have that much influence from the beginning.

Like everyone else there were times when she was alone.

“I have not yet fully established my power so naturally I had no choice but to seek outside help to increase my power.”

“You mean outside?”

“ah. Don’t overreact so much. Even though it was external it had absolutely nothing to do with other countries. I’m sure there’s nothing wrong with you Knight Commander Nightcrawler. “Because the person who received help was a wanderer with no connections of any kind.”

“I don’t understand the idea of ​​wandering anymore. Are you saying that the princess only received help from someone like that?”

“okay. “I received it.”

The first princess did not deny it.

About your past and your shortcomings.

“Even though I was powerless at the time I opened my hands to someone. “It’s a funny story.”

He is the owner of the throne room and has been designated as the next emperor of the empire.

1st Princess Eileen von Exilion.

As she recalled the past her golden eyes were curved like a crescent moon in the shadows.

Great for everyone.

Terina could not believe that she a noble proud and stand-alone superwoman would say that she had received help from someone.

“Terina. “You think I’m playing a joke.”

“…no.”

“It’s hard. I don’t mean to blame. If anyone had said those words no one would have believed them. The person I am now must be that kind of person to you. But this is definitely true.”

1st Princess Eileen carefully lifted the black king.

“Hogokugyeong.”

“yes. “Your Majesty the Princess.”

“You probably know a lot about the military right?”

“It’s not a lot but I’m confident I know enough.”

“A long time ago more than five years ago the military prepared a coup.”

“…yes?”

First Princess Eileen waved her hand at Terina who asked in surprise.

“Just listen quietly. Because it’s over anyway. Anyway the mastermind of that incident was the Marquis of Tepperon who controlled the military. In his later years perhaps due to senility he decided to become the emperor of the empire so he secretly formed a military unit under his command and attempted to stage a coup.”

“You’re crazy.”

“It was crazy. But what’s even more surprising is that the operation almost succeeded. “My father an incompetent peace-worn person had no idea about it and what he did know was that I still had no limbs to speak of.”

How on earth could such a first princess stop the Marquis of Tepperon who took control of the military?

“Terina. Do you know about Black Ops?”

“Aren’t they a special unit secretly operated by the Empire?”

People think that the Nightcrawler Knights of the Security Bureau are the most dangerous and dirty group but that is not true.

In fact there was one organization that was even more unknown than them.

If the Knights of Nightcrawler were to deal with dangers within the Empire.

These black ops were people who secretly operated not only within the empire but also in other countries.

“Among them there was the Alpha Team made up of the most dangerous people in black ops.”

“That Alpha team….”

Eileen smiled slightly at Terina who was muttering.

“no.”

“What do you mean it’s not?”

“What you think. That I was in charge of the Black Ops Alpha Team. That is wrong. “In fact the opposite is true.”

“If you say the opposite….”

“The Marquis of Tepperon who was trying to stage a coup called in the Black Ops Alpha Team.”

Team Black Ops has no trace of the past and exists only as a shadow of the Empire.

Among them the six members of Team Alpha were the first to be founded and the most veteran.

“The one who single-handedly eliminated the entire Alpha Team.”

“…What?”

Black ops alone?

Terina didn’t understand that.

Although the Black Ops team is made up of only a few people each and every one of them is called a human weapon.

Unlike knights who simply received formal training they were honed in practical combat and possessed unique powers that were not well accepted by the world.

But you dealt with it alone?

“Compared to now back then I was a bit immature because my talent had not yet fully blossomed but I still had the eye to see the flow.”

“…Is that so?”

“I saw people who secretly supported the coup and people who were completely oblivious and lived foolishly. How they move. But he… was nowhere to be seen.”

Just like this black king he is holding.

It appeared suddenly like a daytime goblin and suddenly disappeared like a mirage.

“I searched after that but couldn’t find it. But now I suddenly have this thought. “The person who suddenly disappeared back then may be this guy now.”

“Who on earth are you? “A person who was said to have been the princess’s assistant in the past.”

“I don’t know. Because he never told me his real name in the first place. “It was just a pseudonym to hide my identity.”

The 1st princess remembered that pseudonym and laughed as if it was amusing.

“Jack the Ripper. “That’s how the man introduced himself.”

“Jack the Ripper….”

Jack the Ripper.

But there’s no way his name is really Jack.

The jack mentioned there is just a word that means ‘so-and-so’ representing an unspecified person.

So the man who introduced himself as Jack the Ripper was just saying that he was a so-and-so who killed people.

In some ways it was a really insincere pseudonym.

However if it is a powerful person who killed all of Black Ops Team 1 the core of the force that attempted to lead the coup.

At that time the meaning of the name changes.

“Hehehe. “It’s getting more and more fun.”

“Princess?”

Terryna Ryan Howl was puzzled when she read the joy shown in the first princess’s eyes.

This was the first time she who was always in a state of boredom as if everything was a bother was smiling.

“It may not be fully revealed yet but the traces left behind mean that he is ‘him.’”

“Are you saying that Jack is active again?”

“Maybe so maybe not. Because not everyone knows me. But isn’t it just as much fun not knowing?”

Princess Eileen’s soft laughter echoed lowly inside the throne room.

Her eyes shone sharply.

“I’m looking forward to it.”

* * *

“hmm?”

Ludger who was reading the magic paper published by the Magic Tower in the teacher’s office felt a tingling sensation in his ears.

‘Who tells my story?’

It won’t be a big deal anyway.

Isn’t there a voice that persistently calls out to him the moment he loses his magic power?

‘Tsk. ‘I’m so fucking excited.’

After taking the magic pill I felt like my voice had calmed down again.

Ludger didn’t think it was a big deal and turned his attention to the paper again.
