The Academy’s Undercover Professor – 12



◈ Episode 12 First class (2)

The first day of orientation about 3 days ago.

When Ludger showed his courage by keeping his teaching methods a secret the reaction among students was not so positive.

Quite a few students were resentful of the fact that a new teacher a man from a fallen noble family displayed such behavior at Seorn Academy.

In particular students from noble families were the most angry.

─How dare a new teacher from a fallen noble family.

But ironically the students who actually witnessed Ludger’s orientation did not say anything.

Only some self-respecting aristocratic students grumbled because they felt like they had been ignored for no reason but out of the 50 or so students in the classroom that day close to 40 were actually impressed by Ludger’s guts.

Still since he was a teacher at Seorun Academy wouldn’t there be something to trust?

Of course since no detailed information about Ludger was known yet students had no choice but to be cautious.

It is a very obvious fact that if you take the wrong class on the first day of school you will suffer for the rest of the semester.

If I could find out even a little bit of information about Ludger I would trust him and take the class just once. Otherwise I wouldn’t be able to call myself a lab rat.

The morning of the second day was a moment when many students were worried.

A post was posted in a community called <Akashic Records> a student-only magic exchange center at Seorn Academy.

Title: Have you heard about the new teacher named Ludger Chelisi?

A title intentionally created to attract people’s attention without knowing whether it is good or bad.

Of course the students had no choice but to click on it and the contents unfolded as if they had been waiting.

This was the summary of the content as it continued to scroll down.

A piece of extreme praise for Ludger Cellisi.

The youngest in 4th place. Appointed as a military officer. Cryptid hunting contribution. As a freelance wizard he is listed on the Magic Tower.

It contained Ludger’s past actions.

For students who didn’t know that it was a desperate behind-the-scenes operation by a secret society to somehow keep the First Order afloat it was enough to raise expectations of ‘Is this really true?’

In particular the person who put in the most effort and effort was the Third Order member who contacted Ludger first.

‘You can’t ruin the First Order’s lessons! We need to get as many students as possible to listen!’

I spent the whole day just writing about how cool amazing and incredibly talented he was.

Perhaps thanks to the persistent posting of praise for Ludger over the past two days attracting attention the number of people interested in Ludger’s classes has increased beyond those who objected to the excessive praise.

In particular the fact that first-year students could also take classes together and the fact that it stimulated the interest of freshmen who did not yet know anything was significant.

During the correction period the number of students who wanted to take Ludger’s classes increased rapidly and the maximum number of students 80 was filled.

And the long-awaited first day of class.

The students all sat down in their seats and waited for Ludger with excited anticipation.

Half out of pure curiosity and half out of a desire to see how well I can do.

And the moment it hits 9 a.m. when class is announced.

The door to the classroom opened and Ludger came in.

* * *

What on earth is this situation?

The classroom was full with not a single empty seat.

The maximum number of people which was thought to be around 30 was reached.

With 80 students in front of me I felt a headache coming on.

Why?

Surely I must have implicitly warned at orientation three days ago that my class was a landmine?

Unless you’re an idiot don’t you think it’s a loss to take this teacher’s class?

Above all students have blue name tags on their uniforms.

These are freshmen who recently entered school.

Among the number of students gathered in the classroom more than 60% were first-year students.

‘Why are the first graders doing this again?’

Why are they in the same class as second graders? I heard taking classes with seniors is burdensome so shouldn’t I avoid them?

I never expected that there would be more first graders.

At this point I’m starting to wonder if someone has spread malicious information about me somewhere I don’t know in order to intentionally annoy me.

‘Maybe I looked down on the students too much.’

Speaking of Seorn Academy of course it is a place where only carefully selected students can enter after going through fierce competition from admission.

As it is a place where children from all over the empire and the continent gather it is problematic to think of them as ordinary students.

I decided to humbly accept my mistakes.

Rather than arousing the students’ vigilance my actions only fueled their pride.

Look at that gaze.

The eyes are like a wild hyena that will bite me no matter what if I make a mistake.

Today is my first class and I can’t believe I’m feeling this pressure.

If I continue like this I will end up being eaten by the students in the classroom.

‘Now that things are like this we have no choice but to do our best to deliver the lecture.’

I looked at the faces of the students gathered in the classroom.

It is full of children with unique hair colors. I guess things like that are common in this world.

Among them there were a few that stood out more than the other students.

In particular a female student who wears the ears of an animal rather than a human on top of her head. They are a beast people who live in the desert areas of the southern continent.

Well in this world where there is magic and witches what’s so amazing about being a beastman? In this world sub-races are a very minority race.

Even more so if this is Seorn Academy.

Until 50 years ago the Beastmen were a race that was colonized and treated like slaves and even 50 years later the remnants of discrimination and persecution against them still remain.

It still is.

The proof is that other students around them are looking at the beastman student with subtle gaze.

It looks like that kid just entered school but his future life will be very difficult.

‘Well I’m not in a position to worry about others right now.’

First of all class progress comes first.

“My name is Ludger Chelisi and I will teach you the overall process of the manifestation system.”

“If you mean the overall process do you mean all four major specializations?”

Someone raised their hand and said that. He was a male student with a somewhat unlucky appearance.

I immediately warned him.

“Ask questions only when I give permission.”

“…yes. All right.”

“This is your first time so don’t skip it this time. However if there is someone who arbitrarily interrupts the flow of my class again I will give them a penalty point. The same goes for cases where the teacher’s authority is blatantly challenged.”

Some students shouted in shock when they heard that it was a penalty point saying they had never heard of such a thing.

“But students who do that well will be given points. “Students with higher scores will receive various benefits so work hard.”

Well you may not know it from third year students who are getting closer to graduation. It is a well-known fact that first and second year students who are in the midst of their excitement do not really care about penalty points.

However there is a big difference between a teacher saying this out loud and warning about it or not.

“First of all to answer the question from a moment ago it is ‘yes.’ “I will teach you one by one the overall aspects of <Emission> <Attribute Elements> <Telemotion> and <Strengthening> which can be said to be the entire manifestation series.”

Most people responded that they couldn’t believe what I said.

Even though I teach manifestation classes specialization is a completely different field even within the same field.

<Emission> <Attribute Element> <Telekinesis> and <Strengthening> that I mentioned a little while ago are the four specializations of the [Emergence Realm] that I mentioned.

It is often called the four specializations of manifestation.

Usually teaching just two of these is enough but I said I would teach as many as four.

To the students it would sound like an unbelievable lie like I was bluffing.

But this is absolutely not a lie.

Although I have not achieved a first-class level in either field I am confident that my overall spectrum of knowledge is quite wide due to the years I have lived.

so.

“I’m going to class.”

It shows what we have prepared for this time.

“You know Cheryl. “Isn’t that teacher really fun?”

When Cheryl heard the voice calling her she tried to hide the anxiety that filled her and turned her head to her friend sitting next to her.

A girl with long navy blue hair down to her waist and skin so white that it was almost transparent.

Her appearance is so beautiful that it looks like a doll made with great care by a craftsman. Even the male students sitting near her keep glancing at her.

“Flora. “You can’t believe it again…”

“You mean ‘again’? That’s rude. “What are you saying I did?”

Cheryl couldn’t bear to speak to Flora who asked her question in a playful and subtly manner.

Flora Lumos.

The daughter of Duke Lumos one of the most noble families in the Exilion Empire.

She was beautiful and fascinating as if she had copied a painting just by standing still and she was skilled in both literature and dance and was famous for the title of ‘genius’ among Seorn’s second graders.

Even students who are called geniuses in the world become nerds at Seorn Academy.

Seorn where only geniuses gathered from all over the city and country overly standardized the standards of students and children with less talent had no choice but to become relative geniuses.

It was not surprising that a child who was considered a gifted child where he lived would be faster at counting backwards here.

However Flora is a girl who is called a ‘genius’ by everyone in Seorn.

This was a passage that showed even if only fragmentarily how great her talent for magic was.

Because she came from a good family had a beautiful appearance and had outstanding abilities she was one of the most famous people in Seorn that everyone could not help but envy.

Just one.

Except that he has a personality flaw.

Flora Lumos was notorious among teachers even within Seorn Academy.

Because she was a genius she didn’t try to receive proper instruction from anyone. Rather they challenged the teacher’s authority and achieved victory.

It was common for teachers to point out incorrect techniques in the middle of a class.

In fact she even invented magic on the spot that was much better than what the teacher was teaching and destroyed the teacher in front of her students.

I’ve been steadily building up that notoriety since first grade and it’s still the same now that I’m in second grade.

In particular because of her specialty in the field of manifestation it is so famous that no one in the academy knows about the fact that two teachers in charge of the class on the field of manifestation left last year.

Flora entered her second year and came back to take the class on manifestation.

Even this time the class taught by Ludger Cellisi who was evaluated as unusual from his first appearance.

Flora’s friend Cheryl prayed that it wouldn’t happen this time but looking at Flora’s expression it seemed like that was just a vain hope.

Flora’s nickname among teachers is the Little Devil of the Rumos family as she is said to steal the souls of teachers in every class she takes.

Considering that people who were attacked by her were so offended that they couldn’t even call her the Great Demon King let alone the Little Devil Little Devil is a very cute nickname.

That’s why Flora chose Ludger as her prey for this semester.

“Cheryl. Honestly isn’t it funny? He’s not like anyone else and he looks like he’s only in his 20s but he’s learning all four major specializations in the world of manifestation. no. You can learn it. But honestly wouldn’t it be an exaggeration to say that I would teach them all?”

“that….”

Cheryl couldn’t help but agree with that part.

I don’t know if it’s my pride as a new teacher or if I really have the ability.

Since we cannot confirm its true value we have no choice but to be suspicious.

‘But have you really become proficient enough to teach all four specialties?’

There are a total of 5 classes of magic and each class has different specializations.

Three specializations in the [Implementation] series: <Matter Creation> <Transformation> and <Alchemy>.

The four major specializations are <Emission> <Attribute Element> <Telekinesis> and <Strengthening> of the [Expression] series.

[Summon] series <Spirit> <Golem> <Magic Beast> <Necromancy> 4 specializations.

The six major specializations of <Astrology> <Charm> <Illusion> <Pharmacy> <Witchcraft> and <Enchant> in the [Curse and Harm] series.

And the last 5th series is [Special].

In the case of [Special] it is ambiguous to call it magic in the world but it clearly refers to a type that can be manifested as magic.

Those who have inherited arcane magic from generation to generation in their families or who have pioneered unique methods themselves belong to this [unusual] category.

And of course in the case of this special category no teacher teaches it.

At that moment Ludger engraved a magic formula on the magic board.

As I poured magical power onto the blank board the magic trick was drawn on its own.

It was [Rumbling Flame] one of the 3rd tier fire elemental magic.

“It is a throbbing flame. “Based on the basics of manifestation a total of seven elements – heating combustion compression acceleration expansion and diffusion – complement each other to form a technique.”

Even though it was only a 3-level spell it was a magic that had to be manifested by placing the 7 elements that make up the magic spell in the right place.

If there was enough time students taking classes here could also use it.

“As today is the first class before we start the main class I will teach you something that will pique your interest. “It is a way to manifest magic much faster than the existing method.”

Quick technique?

For the first time curiosity arose in the students’ minds.

“Let’s see.” The speed is okay. “It can be said to be more than three times faster than the existing one.”

The students’ eyes opened wide at those words.
