The Academy’s Undercover Professor – 122
by Jessie@AFNCC
◈ Episode 122 Hunting Night (1)
Standing on the precariously shaking steel bars of the building he seemed to be floating in the air.
The monster of Gévaudan looked up at him.
The bright red eyes of the vicious monster had calmed down unlike before.
Unlike just now when he perceived other humans as prey he seems to recognize this one as the only being equal or better than him.
Good luck!
However the dying flames burned fiercely again infusing vitality into the monster’s body.
Aww wow ───!!!
The three heads howled.
Not only that but the countless animal heads attached to the body let out a roar all at once.
A thunderous howl spread throughout Lederbelk City.
Citizens watching from afar covered their ears with their hands and lowered their heads while the weak fainted and foamed at the mouth.
A roar that sounded as if it had come from the depths of hell.
Ludger who heard that sound from the front narrowed his eyes inside his crow mask.
A roar that was as terrifying as a nightmare to others only evoked a little longing in him.
‘okay. It was like this back then too.’
When he was active as the hunter <Abraham Van Helsing>.
The decisive factor that earned him the reputation as the best hunter was hunting the monster of Gévaudan.
The difference from then was that the King of Demonic Beasts staring at him now looks different.
The proof was that Hans had mutated due to his unusual constitution so he took on a strangely human form.
When I met him directly he seemed less beastly and less vicious than before.
However that did not mean that the monster in front of him was weaker than the one he had faced in the past.
On the contrary if you look at the way he is clearly wary of this side but does not make a hasty move it seems that he has a cunning side but not a lack of it.
‘Still I hoped that he would recognize me a little and become calm but I guess it was a vain hope.’
I understand.
Hans is now able to maintain his human self even if he turns into another beast but he was not able to do so in the past.

Even now whenever he transforms Hans shows several times that he cannot easily shake off his animal instincts.
On the other hand Jebodang’s monster is a monster that goes far beyond ordinary beasts.
Just by looking at the countless heads of the beast that make up it you can get a glimpse of how great the predatory madness contained in that monster’s genes is.
An ordinary human would probably have gone completely crazy or had their ego erased the moment they encountered it.
‘But Hans is still alive.’
Because of the ferocity of the Gévaudan monster it was roaring like that now but in a split second the Gévaudan monster recognized Ludger.
It was proof that Hans’ inner self was alive.
Anyway I’ve known him for the longest time.
And I don’t know what the wind was blowing but Hans used the tooth he said he didn’t want to use even if he died soon.
It might be because he was determined to do something rather than just trying to avoid the fight and run away like a coward.
“Watching your subordinates grow is also your job as a leader.”
And if that subordinate is in crisis.
Providing a helping hand is also a leader’s job.
“Let’s take a look at my skills.”
At the same time Ludger took his foot off the precarious rebar and fell down.
* * *
‘James Moriarty!’
Casey glared at him intently so as not to miss the sight of James Moriarty suddenly falling out of thin air.
A shadow darker than the darkness of the night wriggles under the moonlight as if protecting his body.
Even the monster of Jebodang showed his teeth and stood on end as if he judged that man to be more dangerous than himself.
My pride was hurt by the fact that I who had earned the title of one of the few colors in the world was ignored.
I had no choice but to admit it.
‘James Moriarty was called Abraham Van Helsing back in the day.’
I had visited the Kingdom of Casey Durman.
The Royal Museum located in the center of the royal castle.
There she saw Gevaudan’s stuffed monster corpse.
It seemed that even the widespread rumors about the appearance of a terrible beast that would cause humans to be terrified were not enough.
But surprisingly nearly 70% of the monster’s corpses were lost.
All that remains is half a head one arm and a skeleton that barely gives you an idea of its shape.
The remaining parts were destroyed or disappeared so miserably that it was impossible to even reproduce them.
‘That man did it all.’
The king of demonic beasts who reigned on the bloody night.
The owner of a nightmare that will go down in history.
The man who was a hunter killed him single-handedly.
Ordinary magic didn’t work and 70% of the monster’s body which regenerates its wounds in an instant was lost.
That’s why I understand it.
The monster of Jebodang is also wary of that man.

Ignoring yourself and only focusing on that man.
Casey Selmore bit her lip.
In my heart I wanted to capture James Moriarty right away.
However now that the attention of Jebodang’s monster had finally disappeared the evacuation of citizens became a priority.
Fortunately it seemed like the man was trying to make a deal with the monster of Gévaudan.
If I could attract that monster’s attention it would be welcomed here.
The moment I made that decision Moriarty and Gevaudan’s monster collided.
The Jebodang monster opened its mouth and tried to devour the shadow.
At that moment the shadow shrank into a dot in the air.
Finally it appeared above the center of the monster of Gévaudan.
High-speed movement? no.
There was no time difference between disappearing and appearing.
Casey’s eyes widened at the sight that seemed to have jumped through space.
‘Did you skip a space?!’
Slurp.
The handle of the cane held in Ludger’s right hand was pulled out revealing a pure white sword body.
Ludger plunged his sword into the monster’s eyeball.
The monster filled with pain shook its head roughly. Ludger neatly climbed down his back and cut off the heads of the beasts that were poking at him.
Clean movement without any unnecessary elements.
It was not simply a strengthening of the body but a martial arts that could only be shown by learning swordsmanship for a long time.
However the monster of Zevodang was not something that could be defeated by such an attack.
Heads cut off by other knights’ aura-filled swords regenerate immediately…
‘Don’t you?’
Severed hair does not regenerate.
Rather pitch-black smoke flowed out of the cut section along with a screeching sound.
Is that sword made of some unusual material? Or some kind of magic?
Without even having time to analyze it Jevaudang’s monster whipped its tail.
‘First of all now is not the time to be watching.’
Casey looked at the people forming a curtain of water around them.
“Everyone stay away! “I’m caught up!”
She could only hope that James Moriarty would stop that monster.
* * *
Wow!
There is a series of tail swings that even trained knights can barely avoid if they concentrate.
An attack that exploded even a solid steel pillar like a bomb was not something a person could withstand with his bare body.
Even if you just brush against it you die instantly.
Facing it Ludger disappeared in midair again as if he had expected this to happen.
The spatial movement that was introduced a little while ago has been performed again.
Gevaudan’s monster looked everywhere to find Ludger who had disappeared.
In addition to the three heads which could simply be considered the main body countless beast’s eyes rolled around and followed Ludger’s traces.
Eventually all heads turned in one direction as if they had found the goal they were chasing.
It was the sky right above our heads.
The moment Ludger was spotted countless vials rained down from the air.
Gévaudan’s monster swung its tail like a whip and knocked it all away.
The medicine bottle hit by the tail shattered and the pure white powder it contained scattered everywhere.
A reaction appeared as the pure white powder fell on the monster of Gevodang like dew at dawn.
Wow! Wow! Crumble!
The countless heads that grew on the monster’s body made groaning noises and sneezed and coughed.
Except for the three huge heads all the heads sprouting from all over the body reacted in the same way.
‘What the heck is that…’
Casey who was looking at the pure white powder flying in the wind immediately knew what that powder was.
“Sigh!”
It’s tear gas.
Casey hastily created a thin curtain of water around him.
As if to prove that it was not something ordinary it even gave off a stench so bad that it was difficult to breathe even when it was only lightly smelled.
‘Are you using something like that?’
If you see that the beast’s heads are particularly distressed it must have been made as a special product.
It’s a stench that makes even her a human shiver but what about animals whose sense of smell is much more sensitive than that of humans?
Due to the terrible smell and strong tear gas effect Gévaudan’s monster’s sense of smell was almost paralyzed.
In particular the other beast’s eyes continued to shed tears creating countless gaps in the monster that had no blind spots.
Crrrrr.
The monster of Jebodang crouched down probably thinking that it couldn’t go on like this.
The beast’s head on his body twitched and twisted violently.
Eventually the head popped off the body and rolled around on the floor.
“Hi! “What is that!”
Erendir’s complexion turned pale.
The beast that escaped from the body of Gévaudan’s monster did not just have a head.
The body existed. There are arms and legs.
In an instant the animals walking on all fours staggered to their feet.
Some even stood on two feet similar to a human torso.
Occasionally a head that was not fully formed would devour swarms of rats lying nearby.
Then the lump of flesh began to swell and the torso was completed.
“It’s Cryptid.”
“It proliferated?”
The Clockwork Knights who were watching the scene from a safe distance broke into a cold sweat.
The day the bloody night occurred five years ago.
It was a moment when the question of why so many cryptids appeared in the city of Gévaudan was resolved.
Jebodang’s monster has the ability to create countless proliferations.
He is one but he is a colony that commands countless legions.
That was the monster of Jevodang.
What was even scarier was that a new head began to grow again from the body that should have been empty after the head had fallen out.
It was obvious that if left like this the monster of Gévaudan would endlessly create cryptids.
That was something Ludger also recognized.
“Are we going to throw away the hair that was soaked by tear gas and replace it with a new one? “You really know how to use your head differently than you did back then.”
Like a snake shedding its skin the decision to throw away the existing thing was not a bad decision.
But there were obvious drawbacks.
Grumble!
White flames appeared in the air and covered the body of Jevaudang’s monster.
The hair that was just about to grow new flames could not withstand the high heat of the fire.
“When you are just shedding your skin your defenses become weaker than anything else. So doesn’t it burn up in the fire of only the third level?”
Crumbling!
The three huge heads glared hatefully at Ludger.
Before he knew it he was standing on the ground and watching as if making fun of himself.
I wanted to swing my arms like this and crush that human but the monster instinctively realized that it was useless.
no. In that judgment on the contrary there were fragments of what could be called reason.
“Are you not coming?”
Ludger is intentionally guiding his movements as if there is a gap.
The monster in Gévaudang who read that raised its vigilance even further.
“You’re quick to notice.”
But no matter how much we raised our guard it was already too late.
Because his magic had already been activated.
Paaaat!
Light streamed from under the rubble of the ground where Gévaudan’s monster was standing.
At the same time the ground rose up like a huge spear and pierced the back feet and both palms of the monster that was on the ground.
A large cloud of clouds of dust arose and filled the surrounding area.
People watching the fight were taken aback by the sudden cloud of dust.
Kyaoooo!
In the smoke the monster of Gévaudan twisted its body but its impaled hands and feet did not move.
The monster of Gévaudan gave orders to the multiplied cryptids.
Black waves surged toward Ludger.
Ludger looked at the situation and stopped swinging his sword stick before retracting it.
“This is a bit much.”
Instead he pulled two black revolvers from his belt.
Ta-ta-ta-tang!
Countless bullets made of magical energy were fired and pierced between the eyes of the multiplied beasts.
Since it was fired using magical power there was no need to reload.
In an instant dozens of cryptids collapsed into a hive.
Ludger put the revolver back into the holster on his waist and stared at the monster of Gévaudan asking if there was anything else to do.
As soon as we met our gaze the monster of Zevodang flinched.
If my limbs hadn’t been pierced I would have taken a step back without realizing it.
Ludger looked at that and decided that it was over.
‘It would be best to just knock him out like this but it saves him the trouble of doing that.’
Ludger slowly raised his head.
I saw something sparkling flying in the moonlight of the dark night sky.
Quang!
Immediately afterward a huge harpoon was pierced into the cervical spine of Jevaudan’s monster.
The force was so strong that the upper body of the gigantic monster sank down.
Kaaaang!
The harpoon tore the flesh and reached the bone releasing the drug from the ampoule worn together.
It was an antidote to the beast that Ludger often gave to Hans.
────!!!
The red eyes of Jevaudang’s monster widened greatly.
Soon the monster’s huge body began to shrink at a rapid rate.
dump.
Eventually Hans who had completely returned to human form fell to the ground.
At the same time black shadows fell one by one from the air.
A large white-haired man with a mask on his face covered Hans’ body with a blanket and carried him on his shoulders as he fell to the floor.
With his other hand he picked up the thrown harpoon.
Alex who came with Pantos asked Ludger while wearing a mask.
“leader. “Is that guy okay?”
“I’m fine. When in a monster state the recovery power is high so injuries can be recovered quickly. “You arrived no later than that.”
Crack.
Ludger replied and chewed the magic pill he had prepared in advance.
When fighting using Ather Nocturnus the consumption of magical power was extreme so it had to be doped like this.
“I’ve safely taken care of <Kafka> so let’s leave now. “It’s too late.”
Now was the right time to run away as the exhaust smoke obscured the view and the knights could not even approach.
“Stop!”
At that moment Casey Selmore appeared.
Ludger stared at her silently calling out to him.
