The Academy’s Undercover Professor – 157



◈ Episode 157: Unwelcome guests (3)

The golem that Brino revealed while gathering the cloth looked a little simpler than expected.

no. Not a little bit.

What was thought to be a human-shaped golem that walked on two legs and had two arms turned out to be a huge sphere.

“what. “It’s just… a round piece of metal.”

Although it had a subtle golden glow on the surface it was not gold but an alloy made by mixing brass and other metals.

The eyes of the children who had expected a wonderful golem were filled with disappointment.

“to. What is that? “You brought some piece of metal to the seat.”

Hans too could not hide his disappointment perhaps because he had been secretly looking forward to it.

The only one who didn’t lose interest was Sheridan.

She crossed her arms and stared at the giant metal sphere.

Brino laughed and continued his explanation.

“haha. Everyone seems to think something is strange. Of course I understand. Just looking at this you might be thinking what kind of golem this is. So let me show you. “What this new golem really looks like.”

Brino said so and took out a small magic stone that he had prepared in advance.

Most golems run on steam engines but only low-level golems are used for industrial purposes.

Golems also have levels.

Higher-grade golems with higher output and operating time naturally use magic stones as an energy source.

Brino held a finger-sized bluish magic stone to the sphere.

There was a small groove on the surface of the sphere and the magic stone fit perfectly into it.

Immediately after the magic stone began to glow and blue lines ran along the surface of the golden sphere.

It was a circuit through which the magic engraved on the golem passed.

Kigigging.

And immediately a change occurred in the sphere.

The sphere split along the fine grooves carved into its surface and two legs came out and the body stood up.

The clanking sound of iron meeting iron and the furiously rotating sound of gear wheels disturbed my ears.

A short time of less than 10 seconds.

The metal which was just round at first soon took on the shape of a golem with two legs and two arms.

The golem’s small face which looked like an overturned round bowl had blue eyes that received the magical power of a magic stone.

“Waaah!”

“This is so amazing!”

The audience who watched the scene from beginning to end clapped their hands.

The children threw away the toys they were holding and were already pulling at their parents’ sleeves to ask them to buy them.

“Hoo.”

Ludger also stroked his chin as if he was interested in the golem’s appearance.

What appears is a round design that is not very sophisticated perhaps because it is based on a sphere.

Looking at the sturdy arms and sturdy upper body compared to the relatively weak lower body you could tell that it was made for a very practical purpose.

“The legs are short but the arms are big enough to touch the floor. It seems like it has given up its mobility and is specialized for moving heavy objects or breaking things. “Does it seem suitable for use in a mine or something?”

Sheridan who seemed to be the most excited surprisingly calmly analyzed the purpose of the new golem.

“It’s true that since it was made from a sphere before transformation it seems easy to move when not in operation. Just roll it and move it. But if you think of it as just that it’s a bit disappointing.”

“It looks like there’s something more.”

“right? “You think so too right?”

Ludger noticed from Brino’s expression as he continued his presentation that he was still hiding something more.

As expected Brino got straight to the point.

“I am also satisfied with the positive response from everyone but the true nature of this DT-3000 has not been revealed yet. “Now take a look.”

Brino immediately sensed the magic power and activated the golem.

The golem slightly lowered its upper body and crouched.

Just like the first time it changed from a sphere to a humanoid this time too the sound of metal clashing rang out and the golem’s form changed.

The two short legs became long and the arms also strongly supported the ground.

The human-shaped golem soon transformed into a horse and lightly toured it.

“and. oh my god.”

Hans who was annoyed at first saw this and his eyes lit up.

It was the same for other people too.

From a round sphere to a humanoid from a humanoid to a horse.

The sight of a golem transforming into various forms makes anyone’s blood boil.

It was the same for Ludger.

‘Is it a transforming robot? ‘I only saw it in movies.’

The difference is that the images in the movie are made up of computer CG and the golem in front of you is real.

‘Will it transform into a car later?’

Suddenly such curiosity arose but Ludger chuckled as it seemed like a foolish thought to himself.

At that time Brino continued explaining about the golem.

“As you can see this new golem DT-3000 can change into a total of three forms. A humanoid suitable for destroying and cleaning up things. A beast type used to transport people and goods. And this is the normal standby pattern.”

It is a golem that can change form and operate depending on the situation.

Compared to today’s golems which have a fixed shape it was definitely amazing.

The audience’s reaction was just as hot.

‘Just this alone will send love calls from all over.’

In fact among the people gathered at the launch ceremony there were many parents with children but there were also many businessmen who were carrying out golem-related businesses.

They responded that they were already itching to see the future potential of the DT-3000.

“lily! “Can I see more?!”

Ludgar nodded as he saw Sheridan’s eyes shining as he looked back.

“okay. “Don’t go too far.”

“don’t worry!”

Hans sighed as he watched Sheridan running forward without anyone to stop him.

“Oh my. “If anyone sees me they’ll think I’m here to have fun.”

“Don’t say too much. Still sometimes you need something like this to lighten your mood. Otherwise I know what Sheridan will do.”

“hmm. “I guess that’s true too.”

Hans knew very well what would happen if Sheridan exploded.

Sheridan literally explodes.

This is because once her talent and instinct as a bombshell explodes there is no way to stop it unless Ludger steps in.

“I think it was like that when I first saw it.”

“okay. “It was the Delica Kingdom right?”

“It was like that.”

The place where the two first encountered Seridan was in the underground mines of the Delica Kingdom.

The Delica Kingdom was capturing sub-humans as slaves and working them in the mines and Ludger who was delving into the darkness of the Delica Kingdom at that time discovered the reality before anyone else.

There when everyone was digging a tunnel with no hope only one dwarf did not lose his spark.

The guards picked up scrap metal left behind and combined it with sulfur powder and ammonia from the mine to create a terrifying bomb to escape the mine.

She probably would have used the bomb to collapse the mine if Ludger and Hans had not accidentally discovered and stopped her at that time.

Sheridan was such a dwarf.

The embodiment of invention that never breaks the will to create something under any circumstances.

Lately she had been feeling quite frustrated as she had been confined to a workshop in a corner of a back alley so Ludger saw an opportunity to call her with the intention of changing her mood.

Otherwise the disaster that almost occurred in the underground mine of the Delica Kingdom that day might have occurred in Lederbelk.

“I still get goosebumps all over my body when I think about that time.”

“But you’re still alive now.”

Hans nodded at what Ludger said was correct.

At that moment students passing by recognized Ludger and said hello.

“Mr Ludger! hello!”

“okay.”

“I enjoyed the game! Congratulations on winning!”

“okay.”

I just gave a short answer but the students laughed amongst themselves wondering what was so fun and then left.

Hans asked Ludger as he watched the students walking away.

“Do you think you are secretly popular with students?”

“You mean me?”

“Then who else but you? There are a lot of rumors. A charismatic new teacher who has developed a new magic. From the students’ perspective there are bound to be a lot of stories.”

Ludger still seemed to have doubts about what Hans said.

“Could it be… that you are not aware of yourself?”

“Awareness.”

“I’m just asking just in case. What do you think your position is in Seorn right now?”

“Aren’t I just an ordinary new teacher?”

“…Are you serious? “How can you say that you are just an ordinary new teacher?”

“Of course it is true that I have some differences compared to other new teachers.”

“a little? “Am I misunderstanding the word a little these days?”

Hans had a hard time following Ludger’s words.

“No my brother is so talented that I know having seen him for a long time that he shows off his outstanding talent wherever he goes. Even so isn’t that too lacking in self-awareness?”

“Excellent talent? I?”

“Right now the source code magic that my brother was talking about around the neighborhood. Don’t you know that with just that alone you have already far surpassed other teachers?”

Source Code is the magic that helped Ludger make the most of his name.

The coordinate designation technique shown later was also surprising but it was not yet widely known because Ludger had not properly solved the information.

However even that was shown in a small way during the finals so anyone with a sharp eye would have noticed it right away.

“Why on earth did you do something like that? “Didn’t you intend to remain as quiet as possible while maintaining your status as a teacher?”

“I needed to get my name out there. At the very least if I wanted to find out what the Black Dawn’s intentions were I had to not only infiltrate but also deliberately win Theorn’s favor.”

Ludger’s judgment was reasonable.

If Ludger had really been focused on avoiding the situation he might have been able to teach the class like everyone else without any problems as a teacher.

‘But what’s the point in breaking the situation like that?’

In the end there is nothing you can do other than being dragged along by the situation.

So Ludger deliberately broke his paddles one by one.

After deliberately making his name known he gained recognition in Seorn.

Of course we also aimed for bonuses based on class evaluations.

Hans also nodded as if he understood that part.

“indeed. On the contrary as the value of your name has increased it will be difficult for the Black Dawn to give orders to you hastily.”

As the value of the name increases the attention paid to Ludger increases.

As this interest increases there is a risk that Ludger’s identity may be discovered at any time but on the contrary it also becomes difficult for the Black Dawn to make Ludger move.

Ludger also doesn’t have to use the excuse of ‘I can’t move because it attracts too much people’s attention’ when an order is given.

“But on the other hand you become dangerous too.”

“Hans. In order to achieve something a person must take appropriate risks. “Otherwise you won’t get anything.”

“No that’s true but I’m so worried. “No matter how much it was meant to gain awareness it was too hasty to release the source code.”

“Why is that so hasty?”

“Well if you solve something that important of course you don’t have anything to show later right? “If you draw too much attention at first it will end up being toxic to you.”

“You don’t have to worry about that.”

“yes?”

“After all source code magic is only a part of what I have. “I did it because I thought it wouldn’t matter if I released it.”

“….”

Hans stared at Ludger with an expression asking if that made sense.

‘Brother don’t you know how much source code magic is on people’s lips these days?’

Source Code was an innovation in the world of magic.

A spell that creates another spell in the shortest amount of time without the spell failing?

The wizards had no choice but to be amazed.

There are already more than one person who has come to Seorn to get the source code but they are treating it like a loss and throwing it away?

“Are you serious?”

“Hans. “When have you ever seen me lie like that?”

“…oh my god. “I’m serious.”

Hans eventually shook his head.

“Although I’ve known you for a long time I still don’t know much about your true abilities.”

“Didn’t I tell you before?”

“Is it real magic or something? Honestly I still don’t know. If it’s magic it’s magic but what is real? And the thing that comes out when magical power is consumed….”

Hans had heard many stories from Ludger but he was still doubtful as to whether they were true.

Even though I saw with my own eyes that Ludger was able to move through space invented the magic called source code and was well-versed in other fields.

Ludger spoke calmly as if it was no big deal.

“Magic is magic. Mysterious and incomprehensible. Something difficult to understand. “It’s different from the ones we use now.”

“Are you sure you’re talking about a wizard story from a legend?”

“What if it’s actually not just a legend?”

“that….”

As Hans’ expression became serious Ludger shrugged his shoulders.

“It’s a joke.”

“…I’ve felt this for a long time but your jokes are not good for a bird-hearted person like me.”

“It’s not something that’s mentioned in legends.”

“To what extent?”

So doesn’t that mean you can get a similar feeling?

Hans opened his mouth wide but then noticed someone coming towards him and started to control his expression.

“Excuse me but may I ask you directions?”

A beautiful voice that gently embraces a person’s ears.

But it was a somewhat familiar voice.

Ludger slowly turned his head and looked at the owner of the voice.

“Do you know where the stadium where the magic sparring is held is?”

The first thing you see is light blue hair that looks like the blue sky.

On the contrary straight eyes with a strong sense of courage and curiosity and challenge.

He was a person with an off-white appearance that would make anyone pass by at least once and look back but Ludger could not think of such comfortable thoughts.

‘Why is this person here?’

Casey Selmore.

The person Ludger was most wary of was right in front of his nose.

A detective who most wants to catch criminals.

A criminal whose identity should never be discovered.

Two people met face to face their identities hidden.
