The Academy’s Undercover Professor – 109



◈ Episode 109 Pre-work (1)

After finishing class Ludger immediately put on his street clothes and headed to Leather Velk.

There are 5 days left until the auction opens.

With time running out it was necessary to get the preparatory work done as quickly as possible.

“Are you here?”

As I entered the building where the meeting was held I was greeted by Alex who was waiting there.

However the atmosphere was clearly different from his usual appearance.

It was because of the clothes I was wearing.

“My knowledge has become clear enough that I don’t recognize it.”

“Isn’t that why you dressed me up like this?”

The clothes Alex was wearing were not the suits or everyday clothes commonly seen in the city today.

Clothing that looks like a white large piece of cloth with gold threads wrapped around the body.

Perhaps because he is wearing something like a turban on top of his head his exotic aura with brown skin stands out even more strongly.

Alex admired as he lifted the hem of his clothes.

“Did you say Violetta? She’s quite an amazing woman. “I never would have thought that the attire worn by the nobles of the Southern Desert Kingdom could be recreated so perfectly.”

“Is it comfortable to wear?”

“Don’t even talk. It’s not just about following the surface. Such comfortable clothes to wear. “I feel like I just want to keep wearing it like this.”

“I’m glad you said that. Don’t forget. From now on you will become a noble child of the Southern Kingdom.”

“I know. Al Ghuar Muslah the son of the 8th concubine of Al Jahad Muslah of the Fatimid Dynasty. Even though I gave away the right to succession I still received some of the magic liquid mining rights thanks to my father’s help. And he is also a handsome man of the times who captivates women’s hearts.”

“Leave the last one.”

“It’s too much.”

Alex smiles mischievously.

But of course this operation is not carried out by Alex alone.

Ludger looked at Pantos who was standing next to Alex like his guard.

“Can you do well?”

“If it’s an order.”

“It won’t be difficult. Alex here will do all the acting anyway. All you have to do is stand quietly and set the mood.”

Pantos’ role was as Alex’s escort knight. Of course Pantos like Alex was dressed in the southern kingdom’s unique attire.

His skin was also quite dark due to tanning and perhaps because of his wild white hair like a lion’s mane he didn’t feel particularly out of place.

“If you’re ready let’s leave right away.”

“Whew. “I’m nervous for no reason.”

Here’s the plan:

First Alex encounters Ivan Luke as the scion of a southern nobleman.

Kunst Auction House is an auction house but it also has living quarters to host customers.

To put it bluntly it is a place that also carries out the hotel business.

The auction held this time is a large-scale event held for a total of 3 days. As a result many customers came to Kunst ahead of schedule.

And the customers who usually come are all precious hands.

“leader. “Will Ivan Luke actually meet me?”

“I will meet you.”

“Unless you’re a regular guest you probably won’t even pay attention.”

“Because I am not a regular customer.”

A car was waiting in front of them as they came out.

A modern car that is shiny and black compared to other cars.

The three naturally got into the vehicle and Ludger continued his explanation.

“As you know Luke is one of the largest companies in the Exilion Empire. “The field is so broad that there is no place they haven’t touched.”

“yes. “I know that too.”

“But there are areas that even Luke cannot touch. “It’s the side that deals with magic tools and artifacts.”

“Is it an artifact? I understand. In the case of magic tools the business is led by prestigious magic families.”

“okay. “It is a field that is difficult for businessmen who cannot use magic to enter.”

The vehicle started.

It flows slowly along with the gentle sound of the engine and the cityscape reflected outside the window.

“But even for a company like that it doesn’t mean there aren’t holes to dig into.”

“Is that the magic liquid?”

“okay. Magic Spirit Liquid is the raw material for magic stones needed to make magic tools. And there are a few places where that kind of magical spirit liquid mainly comes from. One of them is…”

“It’s called the Southern Fatimid Dynasty.”

“The Fatimid Dynasty is a country with a long history and tradition. “How do you think a country can be maintained for a long time in such a barren land full of deserts and scorching sun?”

This is because of the existence of the magical liquid called God’s blessing.

The Fatimid Dynasty was a nation that had amassed countless wealth based on a vast amount of magical energy buried deep underground.

Additionally it has been confirmed that large quantities of coal and oil which are used in recently developing scientific fields are also deposited.

“The magic spirit liquid of the Fatima Dynasty is a special product that can make particularly high-quality magic stones. Luke is aiming for this. “I can’t make the artifact myself but it’s a different story if I win the business rights for the raw materials needed for the artifact.”

“indeed. From Luke’s perspective it seems they have no choice but to focus on areas they have not entered into yet. And the identity I am playing now is the perfect prey.”

“Even though he is the child of the 8th concubine who is not known to the outside world he has no choice but to be considered a connection and friend to them.”

“ha ha ha. In fact he is not even the 8th concubine’s child. What is the 8th in the first place? “Can one man have so many wives?”

Ludger responded in a serious tone to Alex who laughed jokingly.

“there is.”

“Huh? really?”

“To begin with in the Southern Fatimid Dynasty one noble could have more than 20 wives. “Rather saying he is the child of his 8th wife doesn’t feel a bit understated.”

“…leader. “I really want to become a nobleman of the southern kingdom.”

“Unfortunately it is a place that values ​​pure bloodlines so it is not possible to strike from below. “Religious doctrines are also tricky.”

“Tsk. That’s a shame. But what can I do? Since you are already acting you have to be clear about your role. What if Ivan Luke doesn’t know me?”

“Don’t worry. “Because I hinted at spreading the rumor in advance.”

Squeak.

The car stopped.

Ludger who was sitting by the window opened the door and went outside.

He cannot go to the auction house with Alex. From here on it was purely up to Alex and Pantos.

Before closing the car door Ludger held out his hand to Alex.

“Take it.”

“Oh. “What is this?”

Alex was puzzled when he saw the small item Ludger handed him.

It was something that looked like a strangely shaped pebble but I had no idea what it was used for.

“It’s a portable communication device.”

“Communicator? “This little thing?”

“It was made by Sheridan. If you wear it inside your ear you can have a real-time conversation even if you are far away. “You can try it right now.”

Alex put one of the portable communicators that Ludger gave him to his ear.

“Can I do it like this?”

[how is it. Can you hear me well?]

“…That’s amazing. I can hear you really well. Even the surrounding sounds are not blocked.”

[It’s still a prototype so it won’t work for long.]

“how much?”

[3 hours at most.]

“That’s enough.”

After completing the transmission through the communicator Ludger made a request before closing the car door.

“Alex. “I have no doubt in your abilities.”

“This is true. “If you expect that I will have to show you accordingly.”

“Pantos. Good luck to you too.”

“i get it.”

Ludger closed the car door and hit the roof of the car with his hand.

The driver who received the signal started the engine and drove off again.

Ludger stared at the back of the car moving away for a while and then naturally fell into an alley.

He was also wearing a portable communication device made by Sheridan.

Now all that was left was to listen to the situation.

* * *

“Write it. ha.”

The entrance to the Kunst Auction House.

There Ivan Luke looked restlessly at his pocket watch several times shaking his legs.

“I heard it was coming but when will it arrive?”

“Director Ivan. Calm down a little. “The news has just been delivered so it should arrive soon.”

His bodyguard next to him cautiously opened his mouth but Ivan Luke did not calm down at all.

‘A child from a noble family of the Fatimid Dynasty. We must become closer for the good of the company.’

Even though he is a parachute he holds the title of director so he also has a rough idea of ​​how the company is run.

And where Luke’s company is vulnerable and what weaknesses it has.

“Wouldn’t it be better to go inside first and wait…?”

“hey. Can’t you understand the situation right now? What if the other person arrives while waiting inside? “Will you take responsibility if I make a bad first impression?”

“Oh no.”

“Then shut up. “This is our chance for Luke to push out the damn Roshen and expand our business properly.”

If he wins the magic liquid business license he will have a chance to make up for the trust he lost from his father.

Of course even if it wasn’t it was necessary for the company’s benefit but what happened at the banquet hall last time made me have no choice but to focus my attention even more.

At that moment a black car stopped below the entrance to the auction house.

Just by looking at its appearance it was not an ordinary vehicle.

‘come.’

Ivan Luke intuitively realized that the guest he had been desperately looking for had arrived.

And his intuition became reality.

The driver got out of the car and hurriedly opened the back seat door and what came out was an exotic handsome man with brown skin.

‘You really came!’

Ivan Luke lightly checked his clothes trying desperately to hide his joy.

Then he cleared his throat and walked towards the man.

“Hmm. Nice to meet you. “My name is Ivan Luke and I am the general manager of this Kunst auction house.”

“oh. okay. nice to meet you I am….”

“I heard the story. Al Guar Muslah the 8th son of Al Jahad Muslah.”

Alex no now Al Guar Musla smiled and acted slyly.

“haha. I can’t believe you recognize me like this even though I was virtually alienated from my family. “I don’t know how to express my gratitude for this.”

“no. How can you distinguish people based on something like that? ruler. Let’s go inside. “I will serve you with the utmost respect.”

“Of course.”

“And the escort…”

Ivan shut his mouth when he saw the escort who got out of the passenger seat of the car.

His bodyguards were also the same size but when a figure a head taller than them appeared he unconsciously lost his voice due to the pressure.

A solemn and heavy atmosphere and even muscles that look like their clothes are going to tear.

And what about that mature white hair that is overflowing with wild beauty?

Ivan Luke swallowed.

“ha ha ha. “The escort driver is truly amazing.”

“oh. Do you recognize me? This guy is an outstanding warrior who can be envied by a hundred men. “He’s even a prisoner.”

“Oh oh oh. A beastman warrior. “As expected!”

Ivan desperately agreed with Guar’s words.

And he immediately gave a glance to his bodyguards.

Ivan’s bodyguards who had received instructions in advance moved quickly. Hoteliers and employees lined up to open the way.

Other guests even came to see what was going on receiving a grand welcome they had never seen before.

But Ivan Luke didn’t care about that. Because I had to focus on the man in front of me.

“now. Let’s go. Mr. Guar.”

“haha. Ivan. Instead of calling me Mr. Guar stiffly you can call me comfortably. It looks like he’s the same age as me. Wouldn’t it be more comfortable that way? no. Let’s do it that way. friend.”

“Is that so?”

Ivan’s face turned red.

I already felt like I was flying through the sky when the opponent who I was supposed to score points by showing clearly actually turned out to be this friendly.

Alex entered the Kunst auction house receiving great hospitality from Ivan.

He whispered softly into the communicator in my ear.

“leader. “Go in.”

[i get it. I wish you luck.]

“What did you just say?”

“ah. I was impressed for a moment because I liked the interior. “It was interesting because the tone was different from our kingdom.”

“ha ha ha. After all you have eyes to see. This interior was created by Ridennars a promising architect…”

Alex took a quick look around the inside of the auction house appropriately agreeing with Ivan who was talking wildly with excitement.

‘Hmm. First of all security is quite tight in the hall near the entrance.’

As Hans had told me black guards wearing black armor were stationed here and there as if guarding their positions.

If you hadn’t heard about it in advance you would have mistakenly thought it was just an armor model left in place.

However it was clear that there was someone there as I could feel the gaze through the gap in the black helmet.

‘I need to check other places first.’

I already have a perfect memory of the internal structure in my mind but seeing it on a drawing and seeing it with my own eyes are two different things.

So Alex got to look around the auction house with Ivan’s guidance.

Ivan couldn’t even think of suspecting Alex’s identity. First of all Alex’s outfit as well as his unique exotic appearance and relaxed demeanor were just like the nobles he knew.

In fact Alex was a local himself as he realistically explained what happened in the Fatimid Dynasty.

“Ivan. my dear friend Now that I think about it there was one thing I forgot.”

“Forgot something?”

“I received a valuable item on my way here but I don’t have a proper place to store it in this far away place.”

Saying that Alex snapped his fingers and the man he had hired as driver and porter suddenly took out a bag.

The surrounding security guards prepared for an unexpected situation but Ivan raised his hand and stopped them.

“What is that?”

“This time our family started a business using magic liquid to create better quality magic stones using a new combination method.”

Magic stone business!

At those words greed appeared in Ivan’s eyes.

“Is that so?”

He tried to calm himself down but Alex was sure that the guy had already crossed over.

“What should I use that for?”

“Nothing has been confirmed yet. “I came here to check that.”

“Is that so? When are you going to decide?”

“I want to decide right away but now that I’m here I think I’ll take a little rest. But wouldn’t it be possible to always carry such a valuable prototype with you even when playing? “If you keep worrying about these things you’ll only get stressed.”

“haha. Of course it is. “I understand.”

“But I can’t think of a suitable place to store this. So I would like to ask a favor of you my friend. Do you know of a good place?”

Alex took the bait.

And Ivan asked it so easily.

“of course! Follow me! “Because there’s a good place at the right time.”

Ivan immediately took the lead.

Alex who was watching sent a signal to Ludger.

“leader. This is <Hugo>. “I will begin the operation with <Melville>.”

[i get it.]

Alex code name <Victor Hugo> and Pantos code name <Herman Melville> moved to the basement of the Kunst auction house.
