The Academy’s Undercover Professor – 113



◈ Episode 113 Ludger’s 8 (1)

[The operation begins.]

Outside the auction house. Hans who was waiting inside the building across from the large main street swallowed his saliva out of nervousness.

It finally started.

The first attempt to open the Kunst auction house which has not allowed intruders even once in the past 20 years.

‘Whew. Let’s calm down.’

I’ve helped Ludger with many things so far but I can confidently say that there are only a handful of cases that made my heart tremble like this.

Of course compared to other colleagues who entered the auction house building and worked directly his job was easy.

All you have to do is time the timing from outside to activate Sheridan’s invention.

Rather.

Hans gently moved the curtains near the window and looked down at the scenery outside.

The entrance to the Kunst auction house which entered its second day today was still crowded with people.

Rich businessmen and nobles. People who everyone looks up to because they are at the top of the social pyramid.

‘It’s good to sell.’

Hans has always felt envious of people like that.

While I was wandering around aimlessly not knowing when I would be hunted because of my damned constitution those people would have been sitting in their fancy mansions never knowing the cold and hunger.

But that doesn’t mean I hate them or anything.

On the contrary I may have been yearning for it a little.

I also want to make a lot of money someday and live a life that I am not envious of.

I want to enjoy my freedom in my own remote and comfortable home without being disturbed by anyone.

Because I’ve always thought that way.

‘And then I met my brother.’

Ludger showed him the way. I held out my hand to him who was covered in wounds and dust.

He said he would make it successful.

Since 5 years ago.

Hans has never forgotten that moment.

‘My role is simple. All you have to do is operate the machine in accordance with the signal sent.’

Next to Hans was a unique invention made by Sheridan.

An object that can momentarily neutralize the surveillance camera artifact that manages the Kunst Auction House’s underground safe.

However it did not last long. It only takes 5 minutes at most.

Therefore in order to operate it an error of even a few seconds could not be tolerated.

‘And I’m not alone.’

Hans felt a little less pressure when he saw Arpa his colleague who had decided to move with him.

‘no. ‘Is this okay?’

Arfa was staring at the world outside the window just like herself.

The world reflected in the transparent retina was so clear but it was impossible to read what emotions were in Arpa’s own eyes.

So much so that it was difficult for even Hans who was somewhat observant to guess.

Although he always had a smiling face whenever his sense of wildness was amplified by the beast’s influence Hans would get goosebumps at the strangeness he felt from Arfa.

“Are you okay?”

But first of all this person is older and we all work together as colleagues.

Hans mustered up courage and spoke to Arpa.

“yes? “What is it?”

Grinning.

Arfa looks back and asks with a bright smile.

“No just. “I’m looking outside.”

“ah. That? “I’m just curious.”

“Are you excited? what.”

“There are so many people. “I have been wandering around with Mr. Pantos in remote places where there are no people.”

“Ojiji?”

Despite all that she looked beautiful with no signs of damage to her skin.

Is this just to exaggerate his actions or is there something else to it?

“…Anyway you remember our mission right?”

“sure. “When a signal is sent preparations are made accordingly.”

“okay. It’s not that difficult. no. “It’s actually quite simple.”

“Then that’s it!”

A cheerful answer comes back with a bright smile.

Hans could only scratch his cheek with his index finger as if embarrassed.

okay. Anyway the important thing now is to proceed with the operation well.

Hans recalled Ludger’s final briefing the night before.

─The ones who mainly move in this operation are me Alex and Pantos.

Hans agreed with that. Alex was good at acting and was good at deceiving people. In particular he had previously clearly stamped on Ivan Luke that he was a southern nobleman.

The large Pantos is a combat specialist. When internal conflict inevitably arose with the Blackguard his military power was indispensable.

And of course Ludger is a core force that cannot be left out.

Because I am the center of the people gathered here and also their leader.

─We directly infiltrate the basement of the auction house and steal the items in safe number 3.

To do so other members had to clearly carry out their assigned duties.

‘first. Stealing the key to the elevator entrance leading to the basement.’

There is only one way to go underground.

You could change your idea and dig a tunnel yourself and come in from the outside but unfortunately this method was not adopted due to lack of time.

In the end the fact that you have to take the elevator from the front and go down to the basement does not change.

For that to happen something was necessary.

‘Find the [Key Master] who holds the key to the elevator and take the key from him. And quickly subdue the security guard near the elevator.’

Neither was that easy.

If things go wrong from here the operation will literally be in vain.

It was Violetta and Alex’s job to steal the key from the key master.

Hans could only hope that the personnel inside would handle the mission well.

* * *

Room 3108 the top floor where only VIPs of the Kunst Hotel stay.

Alex changed into comfortable clothes for working there and came out.

He had already infiltrated Kunst the day before by forging his identity as Guar.

Now it was time to start the operation in earnest so we were ready to go down.

As he was about to go down he saw a familiar figure at the end of the hallway and had no choice but to stop.

‘Why are you crazy here?’

Alex immediately hid himself in a corner of the hallway.

When I stuck my head out and looked I saw that I had made a mistake.

Enya Joiners.

She was standing in front of the elevator she was supposed to take tapping her shoe-clad feet on the ground.

Why?

‘Could it be that you got a nice room at the hotel because you belong to the Security Bureau? Damn it. What if we run into each other here?’

If this continues you won’t be able to access the elevator.

If we had to wait for Enya to go down first and then take the next one it would be a long delay.

Alex clicked his tongue and walked towards the emergency stairs.

‘If I had known this would be the case I would have asked for a room on a reasonably low staircase.’

The problem was that I was tempted to take the top room because I was told it was a good room.

Alex went down the stairs and immediately sent a signal to Violetta using a portable communicator.

“This is <Victor Hugo>. Please respond.”

The person who received the call was Violetta who was sitting quietly in the lobby on the first floor waiting for Alex.

She quietly chanted conscious of the gazes of the people around her.

“What’s going on?”

[‘Shoelaces’ are untied. It will take time to go down.]

“──I understand.”

It was their own slang and secret slogan that they decided in advance in case someone might hear it.

If your shoelaces are untied it means your movement has been stopped.

In other words there was an obstacle that unintentionally hindered the progress of the mission.

Was it like this from the beginning?

Violetta couldn’t help but sigh.

At that moment the person she was targeting came into view.

‘Key Master.’

A middle-aged man who appears to be in his mid-40s.

He is a kind gentleman-like man with long sideburns.

He was a hotelier who had worked at the Kunst Hotel for 20 years and was the person in charge of the key leading down to the underground elevator.

Because he was trusted by Ivan Luke he was the person who personally held the elevator key to the underground storage room.

‘I found it sooner than I thought.’

Originally I would have joined Alex here approached the Key Master and naturally stolen the key from him.

‘Since a problem has arisen from above I will have no choice but to do it alone.’

Violetta slowly got up from her seat and naturally walked towards the key master.

She took a glass of champagne on a silver tray held by a passing waiter and quickly drank it.

‘hmm?’

Master Key who was giving instructions to his subordinates saw the beautiful woman coming towards him and sent his subordinates right away.

“Go now.”

“yes. All right.”

Master Key who sent his subordinate cleared his throat with a faint smile on his face.

“Hmm. lady? “Do you have any business?”

“oh. Are you an employee here?”

Violetta whose burns had disappeared was showing off her beautiful appearance.

She smiled seductively and gently stroked the Key Master’s forearm with her black lace gloved hand.

“Hehe. Me. I feel like I’ve had too much to drink. Could you please show me to my room? “I feel dizzy.”

“Hehehe. Of course. lady. “I will personally guide you.”

The Key Master felt like he had made a fortune.

Violetta had no idea of ​​this man’s sinister intentions.

‘As expected.’

I knew Kunst’s key master’s personal information because I had researched it in advance.

On the outside he looked like a polite and well-mannered hotelier but in fact he was a very promiscuous person with opposite sex.

Although he played a socially prestigious person he committed dirty deeds behind the scenes such as going to secret gatherings and committing extramarital affairs.

That is why Violetta chose the world of beauty.

The Key Master was just enjoying the current situation not knowing that what was approaching him was a black poisonous snake with some kind of plan.

Even if he had known that there was some intention he would have had unfounded confidence that he could handle the matter on his own terms.

“Could you please help me?”

“Of course.”

Key Master placed his hand on Violetta’s slender waist.

Violetta might have been annoyed by that blatant touch but her smiling face did not distort.

Because she was used to dealing with people like this.

“lady. “What room are you staying in?”

“Uhm. “Maybe it’s because I drank too much but I don’t remember much.”

“this. Is that so?”

“But I can’t stay in a noisy place like this forever. “Can you tell me a private quiet place?”

“Of course I know.”

The Key Master was delighted and guided Violetta.

* * *

Ludger confirmed the situation via radio and decided that there was no need for him to step forward yet.

Violetta is a capable woman. Since she said she would sort out this situation herself I was going to trust her and leave it to her.

‘First of all I’ll have to join the other members in preparation for stealing the key from the key master and bringing it back.’

He has the technology to jump through space through coordinates through [Ather Nocturnus] but he couldn’t use it here.

First of all in order for him to jump through space he had to visually or mentally recognize the coordinates of the location but since he was not the one who actually saw the underground safe it was difficult to clearly estimate the location.

If you make a mistake you may end up moving on empty ground and getting stuck.

And even if they arrived successfully they couldn’t bring that many items outside.

This would require hundreds of round trips which was realistically impossible.

Do you want me to do this hundreds of times each time I move I expend a huge amount of magical power and feel like my body is being twisted? I’d rather not do it.

That was the reason why we planned a strategy together with the members.

It was that moment.

“Huh? “Who is this?”

Someone recognized Ludger and approached him. It wasn’t even one.

Ludger stopped with a calm expression and looked back at the person who had called him.

“I can’t believe we met in a place like this. Is there such an amazing coincidence in this world? It’s been a while since I saw you at the banquet hall? “Mr Ludger Chelisi?”

“…Ivan Luke.”

“I don’t know why you came to a place like this but I’m really glad to see you?”

Ivan Luke was looking at us and smiling but his eyes were burning with endless hostility towards Ludger.

‘It seems like you have no intention of just letting me go.’

Of course unless Ivan Luke was a fool he wouldn’t outright kick Ludger out.

In fact it was the opposite.

“Are you enjoying our Kunst Auction House?”

“It was worth a look.”

“haha! It depends. Be good at telling jokes too. There is a saying that you see what you know so there is nothing you can do about it.”

“You might think so. “Then I’ll leave.”

“Hey. “It was fate that brought us together like this but are you just leaving without affection?”

Ivan Luke blocked Ludger’s path. Reliable guards came out behind him.

It was not a blackguard wearing black armor but a separate security team wearing suits.

“Still since you’ve come this far I’ll give you some help considering our past affection. hey. Since he is an important guest please treat him very politely. “You know what I’m saying right?”

“yes.”

The two guards responded vigorously and stood on either side of Ludger.

There was no lie in serving them. The two guards literally just stood by Ludger’s side and did not harm him.

But that’s why it’s annoying.

‘You’re deliberately trying to attach someone to me to keep an eye on me.’

Ivan may have given these instructions with the intention of disturbing him in his own way.

Since this is a business he runs it was an obvious move to show how much authority he had.

However since it was a position Ludger could not refuse sabotage under the pretext of this favor.

‘It can’t be helped.’

Ludger eventually decided to accept this situation.

“Let’s do it.”

He nodded and allowed the two bodyguards to accompany him.

At the same time he naturally used his fingertips to send a signal to the portable radio worn on his ear.

Tuk-tuk-tuk.

An action decided in advance to prepare for an unexpected situation.

And what it meant was simple.

[This person is currently unable to act for some reason. Reserve personnel are requested.]

* * *

“what?”

Hans who had been listening to the signal from outside opened his mouth wide.

Unfortunately the leader Ludger was stranded and the reserve member he requested for support was Hans.

‘Uh… I have to go?’
