The Academy’s Undercover Professor – 149



◈ Episode 149 Reunion from the past (1)

Ludger quickly glanced at the old man who seemed to know him.

His head spun.

‘White hair and beard. Age is estimated to be in the 60s. A sharp angled step. Although he is wearing casual clothes his clothes are clean and lint-free and his shoes shine like new. You are a person who is sensitive to formality. The scars that occasionally appear on the skin are irregular in size but most are linear. ‘If you look at the same shape it’s clearly a knife mark.’

At first glance what you can see in your hand is thick calluses.

Looking at the area it means that an object with an appropriate handle size was held for a long time but it was probably a baton rather than a sword.

‘The emotion contained in the gaze directed this way is gladness. It seems that he is genuinely happy rather than simply reacting to the value of the name Ludger.’

The fragmentary information that could be obtained immediately accumulated and Ludger was able to come to one conclusion.

“okay. Long time no see. “Nothing has changed since then.”

“haha! On the contrary you have changed quite a bit! “At that time I still looked young but now I’m completely healthy!”

The opponent is a soldier. He is also related to the false identity of Ludger Chelisi.

‘okay. ‘I knew something like this would happen one day from the moment I used the name Ludger.’

Even though Ludger had a fake identity his brilliant record could not have been created through simple manipulation.

Submitting a thesis to Magic Tower may only make your name known and you won’t have to sell your face but the military is different.

A story about serving in the military is not something that can simply be made up.

Surely someone must have served as a military officer with the identity of Ludger.

Thinking accelerates and the five senses expand.

Ludger did not stop analyzing.

‘He said he looked younger at that time. He said it had been quite a while since he last met so at least 5 years would have passed. The other person recognized me right away. They say it has changed but are there any elements that can be noticed?’

Unique atmosphere.

Since I spoke to you assuming that your appearance will change slightly as you age it would be correct to look at it as an atmosphere.

In fact the Second Order of the Black Dawn saw this and naturally thought it was the First Order.

This means that the attitudes and images shown in the past are not much different from those seen now.

Fortunately the other party didn’t even question Ludger’s current appearance.

Although people in this world are cute when they are young they often change as they get older.

Taking that into account the other party concluded that Ludger had not changed much from his military days.

‘I don’t know if the deceased First Order played this role or if the achievements were accomplished by someone else. But a situation where no immediate suspicion is raised is welcome.’

Ludger found a medal hanging on the other person’s left chest.

It was not an ordinary medal. Ludger remembered where he could get that medal.

And the position of the person who can hold that.

“Brigadier General have you been discharged?”

It is an imperial medal that only those who can wear a star can receive it with swords and guns crossing each other around a shield.

That would mean he was at least a brigadier general but if he could freely come to this place in casual clothes he wouldn’t be higher than that.

The other party laughed empty-handed as if Ludger’s reasoning was correct.

“What about the battlefield? It’s just been a while since I took a vacation. Of course now I can’t stand in the front line like I used to and I have to hold the baton or hold the baton from behind. “I’m too old.”

“The Brigadier still seems correct.”

“Thank you for saying that. Where are you? “Is teaching a good fit?”

“It’s my first time but I’m trying hard.”

“haha. I guess your social skills have improved a little compared to before? “At that time you were really quiet and didn’t try to become friends with anyone.”

Was Ludger a very quiet person during his military days?

Since it was a created identity it was natural that he would not have tried to get close to anyone.

The brigadier general speaking to me now was his immediate superior at the time so he must have approached me in a friendly manner.

“As I get older I may have developed social skills.”

“ha ha ha! Do you know how to tell jokes now? Good thing though. It was so hard that it seemed like it would break without bending but this is what it looked like. cancer. “It means you’ve grown.”

If someone like Hugo Bourtegue had heard this conversation he would have jumped out of his seat saying what kind of novel nonsense that was.

Are you kidding? Do you know how to bend down?

Isn’t it a word as distant from today’s Ludger as a star in the sky?

But it certainly looked that way from the perspective of a soldier a brigadier general.

“Mr. Ludger this person is….”

Selina who had been quietly listening to their conversation saw the timing and cautiously opened her mouth.

“Oh my! Look at my mind. “I forgot you had company.”

“okay. Brigadier General. This is Teacher Selina who joined Seorn this year along with me. “You are in charge of elemental science.”

“Oh hello.”

Selina bowed her head politely and said hello.

Considering the age difference Selina was closer to the brigadier’s granddaughter’s age so the brigadier smiled happily and nodded.

“Miss Selina. Here…”

Ludger naturally tried to introduce the brigadier general to Selina.

Come to think of it I didn’t know his name.

“Shall I introduce you? Or would you like to tell me yourself?”

“Huh. “If I just do it what will happen?”

“Then I have no choice but to express my reputation as a Brigadier General. “It would be a bit of an exaggeration.”

“You’ve become much more mischievous. I lost! I lost! I guess I should introduce myself before I get embarrassed for no reason. Nice to meet you lady. My name is Brigadier General Prowler. “I was the direct supervisor of this guy here at the time.”

“Oh yes. Nice to meet you too.”

Is it Brigadier General Prowler?

The fact that he did not reveal his last name probably means that he is a commoner.

Usually military officers are made up of nobles.

Naturally the difference in treatment between commoners and nobles would have been significant.

However the fact that he rose from the status of a commoner to the rank of brigadier general meant that the Prowler was not only a possessor of great abilities but also a fearsome tyrant.

“More than that what are you doing in Seorn Brigadier General?”

“Didn’t I say it was a vacation?”

“Even if you say it’s a vacation you probably didn’t just come to Seorn without thinking.”

This was Ludger’s intuition.

Although Prowler looks like an old man with a kind smile there is a hidden side inside him that led him to become a brigadier general.

These people have one thing in common.

No matter what you do you don’t move in vain.

“Well it’s no big deal. “Didn’t a cryptid appear in Lederbelk recently?”

“I did.”

The monster of Jevodang.

The real identity is not an actual Cryptid but Hans transformed using the power of the monster’s teeth.

To those who did not know its authenticity it was as if the nightmare that had occurred in the Kingdom of Durman had come back in the Exilion Empire.

“It’s not just a cryptid it’s a monster that turned a neighboring kingdom into something like that so of course we have no choice but to step forward here right?”

Is that really so?

Ludger recalled that when he was a soldier he hunted cryptids and earned a criminal record.

This means that the place where he served as a soldier was a unit dedicated to hunting down cryptids so it was not particularly strange that his immediate superior the Prowler came to Seorn.

He probably came to investigate the appearance of the monster in Jevodang and stopped by after seeing a festival taking place.

“Tsk. “I don’t know what’s going on in the Empire lately.”

“Nothing will happen.”

“I wish I could do that too but my position is such that I can’t even dream of such carefree thoughts.”

“okay.”

“this. Look at my mind. I was so happy to see you that I stayed in my seat for a long time. “Did you have any plans?”

“During the festival period I have to patrol as a teacher.”

“Huh! Should I have said something? I feel like I want to let go of the memories of the past but I can’t keep holding on to people who are busy. “I’ll go and see.”

“yes. Thank you for your hard work.”

After the Prowler left Ludger was finally able to let go of his tension.

If I had talked more about the past here the bottom line might have been revealed.

I was so worried when he suddenly approached me and said I knew him.

It’s a good thing that I reacted immediately like putting a puzzle together. If I had been attacked without knowing anything my fake identity would have been discovered.

‘I can’t let down my guard just because it’s a festival.’

In fact it may be more dangerous because it is a festival.

Among the guests visiting from outside there may be more people who know the fake identity of Ludger in the past.

‘Still seeing as the soldier Brigadier General Prowler was not suspicious most people would pass over without any suspicion.’

Since the military is a structure where you inevitably have to live with other people I felt like I didn’t have to worry about other people as long as there were people I knew.

In fact when I submitted my thesis to the Magic Tower I was almost like a ghost and only gave my name and never showed up.

Listening to Prowler’s words it appears that Ludger was blunt and unsocial even when he was in the military.

“Mr. Ludger is truly a soldier.”

Selina muttered curiously next to her.

The sight of him shooting a gun and the fact that he was acquainted with an actual military officer probably made it feel real only then.

“What was life like there?”

“There was nothing special.”

Ludger had no choice but to answer like that.

Because it never really was like that.

However no matter how the answer was received Selina looked at Ludger with even more respect.

“I heard that being a soldier is really hard! “But you are so amazing Mr. Ludger that you speak so casually.”

No does this work like that?

Ludger wanted to correct him that he didn’t mean it that way but decided to just give up.

It was a hassle to do that now. I didn’t even feel the need for that.

“Let’s just go on patrol.”

“yes!”

Selina followed Ludger’s side. I have felt this many times but I felt that he was truly a pure person unlike a teacher.

Ludger was worried that people might show up pretending to know him again but that didn’t happen.

Until the sun went down Ludger and Selina went around various places under the pretense of patrol and enjoyed the festival.

Of course Ludger was the one watching and it was Selina who mainly enjoyed it.

“ah. “This is delicious.”

Selina took a bite of the lollipop she had bought a little while ago.

The sky was already getting dark. However the excitement of the festival did not die down even though night had already arrived.

“So did you fully enjoy the festival?”

“Are you enjoying it? “I don’t know what you’re talking about?!”

Selina is pouting and avoiding gaze.

Thinking back I think I realized that I was really excited and went wild.

“Mr. Lou Ludger. This is a secret from other teachers. “Okay?”

“I didn’t even mean to say it.”

“Really? Really?!”

“Everyone else is probably enjoying it similarly anyway.”

“I guess so?”

I saw that he reacted differently every time he spoke so he seemed like a very easy person to understand.

“Somehow time has passed so quickly. “I can’t believe the day has already gone by like this.”

“There are still four more days left for the festival.”

“Oh that’s right! yes. And Mr. Ludger tomorrow….”

“yes. “I’m attending sparring.”

Ludger nodded.

Tomorrow during the day Ludger will participate in a public sparring match one of the events of the magic festival.

Previously this was an event where students showed off their abilities but this year thanks to the opinions of several teachers including Hugo Bourtegue teachers were also encouraged to attend.

Of course it is not a sparring between teachers and students but students sparring with students and teachers sparring with teachers.

Ludger didn’t really care who his opponent was.

The sparring match tomorrow wasn’t important to him anyway.

Regardless of whether others misunderstand him or not Ludger has only one interest during this festival.

It was Esmeralda.

“Now we can quickly end our patrol….”

The moment Ludger was about to say that he spotted a familiar person.

‘Crolophebius?’

A blond man with a half-disappeared appearance moving hurriedly somewhere.

He was none other than Crolophebius who was supposed to stay in his lodgings and not go out.

Krolo was moving urgently as if he was being chased by something.

And to a place with few people.

‘What on earth is that person doing?’

Ludger narrowed his eyes.

Of course the last time we met I warned you to stay still until the last day of the festival.

Did the warning at that time not make much sense?

“Miss Selina. “I will leave for a moment.”

“oh! “Mr. Ludger!”

Ludger hurriedly chased after Crolophebius.

The place Krolo was heading to was a commercial district within Seorn.

An alley between the buildings where the sun has set and no light comes in.

Krolo was there strangling a female student.

“asleep! “I’m dying!!”

What a crazy guy.

Ludger seeing Crowlo shouting in madness immediately activated the source code.

A ray of magical energy tore through the air and hit Krolo on the back.

“Who is it!”

Krolo glared with bloodshot eyes at the uninvited guest who had interrupted him.

Then I froze when I saw Ludger standing at the entrance to the alley.

The sight of Ludger staring at us with an inorganic gaze with his back turned to the light streaming from the festival venue felt like something indescribable.

Krolo gritted his teeth without even realizing it.

“now.”

Ludger’s voice clearly revealed that he was currently feeling uncomfortable.

“What are you doing here?”
