The Academy’s Undercover Professor – 144



◈ Episode 144 Festival Preparation (3)

“Wait a minute Rine! “If you suddenly accept it like that…!”

“Hey~. As expected you are a trustworthy junior from Line! thank you! “I’ll tell you the details later!”

Before Erendir could nag any further Henry thanked Linne and quickly ran away.

There!

Erendir shouted into his back but Henry had already disappeared from sight.

Erendir who was biting his lip turned his head towards Linne. Her long blonde hair moved accordingly.

“Rine! “Why on earth did you accept this suspicious person’s suggestion so carelessly?”

“yes? But… it’s a part-time job that pays well. “I have no choice but to receive it.”

“No why? “You weren’t receiving a scholarship?”

Erendir did not understand Ryne’s decision.

“Why? Of course it’s because money is tight right? Even if you receive a full scholarship there is no separate support for textbooks and magic material purchases so you have no choice but to earn through part-time work.”

So I cut back on my food expenses and for a while I only had baked potatoes for three meals.

“uh. really?”

Erendir actually looked in disbelief as if this was his first time hearing such a thing.

Freuden who was watching from the side sighed and shook his head.

“The Third Princess has an abundance of things so I don’t know about such trivial details but commoners who are short on money have no choice but to make up for it in that way.”

Erendir couldn’t help but be even more shocked to hear this from Freuden rather than anyone else.

“I’m sorry Lee. “I just spoke without knowing anything.”

“Oh no it’s okay! You said that because you were worried about me. “I don’t really care.”

Erendir blamed her own shortcomings but in fact it was natural that she did not know.

Seorn’s full tuition support system still seems to be working well on the outside but there are many shortcomings in the details.

Freuden added an explanation.

“Because the department that manages finances is full of people from the noble faction commoners are unable to enjoy all the proper benefits.”

We were able to get this far thanks to Elisa Willow’s strong push for the tuition support system which had been only a facade until then after she became president.

However there seemed to be a mountain of things that needed to be fixed in the future.

“I can’t believe something like that happened.”

“I’m glad I found out now. 3rd princess.”

“Prince Freuden how do you know these facts in detail? “Are you not at all interested in commoners?”

The image of Freuden Ulburg as known to the outside world is that of a leader leading students of an aristocratic faction.

To the commoner students he was the leader of the nobles who looked down on them and bullied them and in fact he had the image of being behind everything.

It is said that he had an unexpected hobby such as taking care of a small flower garden like this but even so his actions could not help but seem unworthy of a princess.

At least until now Erendir thought so too.

“You unexpectedly showed a side to caring about commoners.”

“Think your own way. “I’m just saying what I know.”

Freuden turned his back as if he didn’t want to hear any more.

“Oh Mr. Freuden. Are you just leaving?”

“I just stopped by while passing by. “I have an appointment so I have to go now.”

“What is that? “If that’s the case why did you come here?”

Freuden lightly responded to Erendir who was grumbling.

“Unlike others I am a very popular and busy person.”

“What?! joy! So who is the proud Prince Ulburg going to meet now?”

“It’s annoying.”

Freuden said lightly loosening the collar of his tight school uniform with one hand.

“I received a request for a marriage discussion.”

Freuden said that as if he wanted someone to hear him and then left.

“I’m talking about getting married. “Who could it be?”

“what? “Are you really interested?”

“no way. “No way.”

Line shook her head as if it made no sense.

“It’s just that I’m amazed that such stories are really talked about among nobles.”

As a commoner it was amazing that something she had only seen in novels actually happened.

* * *

“Are you here?”

“Did you wait?”

Henry who was waiting for Freuden outside the park noticed him coming out and asked him warmly.

“Where is the meeting place?”

“On-site restaurant on the 3rd floor. “I made an appointment in a hurry but I still succeeded in renting an entire floor.”

“You did something unnecessary.”

“what. “The fewer eyes you see the better right?”

Henry shrugged his shoulders and gave Freuden a coy look.

“So what is your relationship with that girl named Line?”

“It’s nothing.”

Without stopping his steps Freuden responded indifferently.

Of course Henry who had known Freuden for a long time did not believe what he said.

“You didn’t tell me to believe that right? “Even fellow nobles showed no interest and responded indifferently and then suddenly they take care of a commoner girl like that?”

“You’re unusually talkative today.”

“Tell me you have a lot of questions.”

It was a frivolous remark and action that could not be seen as Ulburg’s vassal but Freuden did not bother to point that out.

Because their relationship has been like this for a long time.

“I’m just interested.”

“oh. What part is interesting? Also looks? “It looks good right?”

“Stop chatting. “It has arrived.”

At the entrance to the restaurant on site not far away a woman was standing still.

A name tag symbolizing the second year and lemon-colored short hair.

It was Cheryl Wagner the daughter of the Wagner family a vassal who had assisted the Lumos family for a long time.

Freuden recognized her and wrinkled his forehead which was rare.

“Tsk. Is it Lumos again?”

“I couldn’t help it. Perhaps the story came out of nowhere in the family and the instructions came before I even realized the situation. “It seems like the family is trying to fulfill this condition as quickly as possible.”

“It must be the will of the family head and the old people. To solidify the family alliance. “They don’t care about the opinions of the parties involved.”

“Well something like this hasn’t happened once or twice right?”

“For that matter it’s quite blatant this time.”

“I think it’s because the festival was moved up.”

“festivities?”

When asked what this had to do with it Henry continued his explanation.

“It looks like the heads of both families are planning to visit Seorn during this festival.”

“so?”

“I’m not saying that’s why. “You’ve been putting off marriage talks for a long time right?”

“We didn’t postpone everything.”

“okay. Probably not everything. More than half of them paid a fee and refused. Anyway when the head of the family visited Seorn the old people of the family became anxious. “Still I want to show a good side of me so I’m paying more attention to this side.”

“joy. That’s foolish. What a wolf can never do with an eagle. “What did you think would change if you came to Seorn?”

“The problem is that they don’t think like that.”

At that moment Cheryl also found this place and waved. Henry also smiled and waved his hand and whispered to Freuden.

“anyway. “Just do whatever you want.”

“You were acting like you were definitely going to make this marriage happen but have you changed your mind?”

“What changes?”

Instead of his usual fake smile Henry chuckled and tapped Freuden on the shoulder.

“I told you this a long time ago right? I’m always on your side “That’s my job as a vassal.”

“…okay. i get it.”

“Oh you two welcome.”

Henry waited at the entrance with Cheryl and went up to the third floor of the Freuden Hall restaurant.

The interior of the restaurant with soft light illuminating the interior from the window.

Freuden who saw a woman sitting quietly at the central table naturally walked up and sat down across from her.

Freuden Ulburg didn’t deserve to be here but he could tell from his facial expression that the other person felt the same way.

Even though Flora Lumos sat down she continued to stare out the window without giving him a single glance.

The two people’s actions were completely natural as if they were used to this kind of thing.

The chef approached the two people who said nothing.

“Oh the food is here.”

He left the food and quickly retreated perhaps wanting to escape from this stifling atmosphere.

When the food came out the two people who had been sitting still moved at the same time.

Two people naturally holding a fork and knife and cutting meat.

Freuden was the first to speak.

“Usually my face doesn’t show so what happened this time?”

“Nam Isa.”

Okay. Okay.

Flora Lumos took a bite of the sliced ​​meat with a knife and wiped her lips with a napkin.

“I was also tricked into leaving.”

“I see.”

So the meal continued in silence again.

Normally we wouldn’t say anything until we finished eating but today was different.

“recent.”

Stand tall.

Flora’s knife that was cutting meat stopped.

A questioning gaze fell on Freuden who suddenly opened his mouth.

“I hear the name Ludger Chelisi a lot.”

“…Why is that?”

“Are you taking his classes too?”

“I don’t know why you’re so unusually curious about that.”

“I was just curious. “I’ve been hearing that teacher’s name too often lately.”

Freuden dabbed at the plated vegetables with a fork and stared at them closely.

okay. This guy has always been like this.

Flora who had long since given up expecting a normal reaction from Freuden anyway opened her mouth with a look of half-given up.

“I’m listening. “It’s a class on manifestation systems a common subject for 1st and 2nd graders.”

“What do you think?”

“What do you mean?”

“That teacher. “Didn’t you say it was something special?”

exception?

Well if it’s special it’s special. First of all at least for Flora Ludger Cellisi is a very capable person.

The same goes for other people.

“I’m not sure.”

“hmm.”

“what?”

“That’s not your usual reaction. “Didn’t other people teachers and all just see you as an easy target to make fun of?”

She tried to pretend she wasn’t interested but Freuden who was sharp in this way immediately noticed her strangeness.

Rather it was as if I was caught trying to pretend that something was not true.

“…Nam Director. So it looks like you are interested in something? “The Ulburg wolf I knew was never the type of person to ask something by saying just.”

Freuden reacts calmly and Flora glares at him.

Looking at it from a third party’s point of view they are a pair of handsome men and women who get along well with each other but the underlying picture is that they were enemies who never understood each other.

“Just from your reaction I can see that the teacher named Ludger is not ordinary.”

“Oh really? So what do you do now?”

“What are we going to do?”

“What kind of excuse are you going to use to break up your wedding talks this time?” “Isn’t that what you came here for anyway?”

Flora describes the now familiar process.

Percussion. Freuden put the fork and knife on the table and put the napkin aside.

“You don’t have to worry. “As always it’s my job to cancel this wedding.”

“What should be the reason? “Didn’t you just say that there is a problem if you cancel your marriage plan without any reason?”

Last time the weather was gloomy.

Before that I didn’t like the place.

Also I was in a low mood before that.

Freuden broke off marriage talks with Flora several times and avoided her using all sorts of excuses.

“It’s a reason.”

Freuden pretended to be slightly worried then looked at the half of the dish left uneaten and said

“The food wasn’t tasty.”

Then he stood up.

“Let’s just say that.”

“joy. “Do whatever you want.”

He is still an unlucky man. Flora’s evaluation of Freuden has always been the same.

If it were normal Freuden would have left first and Flora would have stayed and left.

It was to remind those who might not know that it was Freuden who unilaterally broke the marriage conversation.

But unlike usual has this person also had a strange change of heart?

“hey.”

Flora called to Freuden’s back as he was leaving.

Freuden stopped and turned his head halfway to ask what was going on.

That look had the meaning of ‘Why are you calling me?’

Did I talk to you for no reason?

Although Flora felt regretful about her actions without realizing it she decided to shamelessly go out like this.

“I want to ask you something.”

“you? Well let’s just listen.”

Even if you ask it anyway it’s probably a trivial question. Or maybe it has something to do with the family.

Isn’t it obvious?

“Do you know where I can get dried mandragora?”

Freuden’s face frowned as if he had difficulty understanding that question.

* * *

Preparations for the festival were in full swing.

Barracks that had never been seen before came up here and there and magic golems worked hard to carry heavy loads.

The students who were completely free after the second test were also working hard.

<Magic Festival> one of Seorn’s main schedules.

There are only a few days left until it opens.

I was lost in thought as I watched the scene below outside the teacher’s office window.

‘I thought the Black Dawn would make some suspicious moves during the preparation period for the festival but that wasn’t the case.’

I asked Sedina but she also answered that nothing much has happened yet.

Considering that there were quite a few orders under Esmeralda it wouldn’t have been surprising if orders had already been given on how to move by now.

‘What on earth is Esmeralda planning?’

Now it’s too late to suddenly make plans.

So does that mean we are doing nothing?

‘Or act alone without informing your subordinates?’

Isn’t that too reckless?

Just as I was thinking that I heard a beeping sound from the lab next door.

‘Crystal sphere beeping. ‘Is it Hans?’

It was a good idea to leave an extra crystal ball in the lab just in case.

Entering the lab I spread sound blocking magic around me and activated the crystal ball.

“Hans. What’s going on? Did you have any income?”

[earnings? Of course there is.]

Hans’ voice coming from beyond the crystal ball was very excited as if he had discovered something quite surprising.

[What my brother asked me to find out. I finally found it.]
