The Academy’s Undercover Professor – 162



◈ Episode 162 Lumos Family (2)

Ludger watched Flora closely.

Although he was trying to pretend to be strong Ludger who had a sharp eye could see right away that Flora was mentally unstable.

Her steps were extremely precarious.

‘Even then he said he came to see his father and showed hesitation in actually meeting him.’

It was only after hearing Duke Hayback’s words that I realized why Flora was reacting like that.

Flora Lumos is Kayden’s daughter but she is the child of a concubine.

The irrationality of a concubine’s child among nobles cannot be expressed in words.

But even taking that into account if you have a talent like Flora your family will have no choice but to reluctantly acknowledge you.

It makes no sense for Flora to react like that.

Of course that would be the biggest reason.

‘Lumensisism.’

The Lumos family is the most devout Lumensis family among the three major ducal families of the Exilion Empire.

And the Lumensic religion does not recognize the children of concubines.

This denomination which believes in the one god Lumensis follows doctrines only for humans.

Therefore there has been a history of oppressing all different races until now.

However the arrow was not simply aimed at the sub-race.

Lumensism was not a religion that advocated equality for humans.

The basis of their doctrine ultimately lies in dividing superiority and inferiority.

The superiority and inferiority of humans and sub-races.

The superiority and inferiority of upper class citizens and lower class citizens.

The superiority and inferiority of legitimate children and illegitimate children.

The Lumos family fiercely follows the Lumensis religion.

at last.

As the child of a concubine Flora can never be recognized by the family no matter how talented she is.

‘Still are you going to see your father?’

Flora was afraid of her father who never treated her like a child but she wanted to be accepted by him.

Even in situations where the mask you wear is so dangerous that you never know when it might break.

Don’t stop walking.

It was that moment.

A girl next to Duke Kayden Lumos spoke to Flora.

A girl with long dark blue hair like Flora.

It’s far away so I can’t hear what they’re saying.

However the look of ridicule shown on his face clearly showed that he was not saying nice things.

Although she appears to be 2 or 3 years younger than Flora her position is clearly revealed in her actions.

He must be a child who inherited the proper lineage.

It wasn’t just Flora’s younger sister who was arguing with her.

‘Is this Kamal Lumos the next head of the Lumos family?’

He also did not hide his negative feelings toward Flora.

Kamal Lumos and Katrina Lumos.

In terms of age they were Flora’s older brother and younger sister but they never acknowledged Flora as their family.

Flora who heard the insulting words from her two siblings seemed very intimidated unlike her usual self.

Eventually Lumos’ matriarch Kayden Lumos looked at Flora.

The look in your eyes as if you were looking at someone you didn’t need from the beginning.

There was no emotion in his gaze towards his daughter.

The moment I saw it.

Ludger got up and walked out without realizing it.

“Uh huh? “Look at you teacher!”

There was no time for Duke Hayback to stop him.

“Is there something wrong with our student?”

Ludger said this as he intervened among the Lumos family members.

Kayden’s gaze which had been looking at Flora turned to Ludger.

The gazes of the two people crossed in the air.

Perhaps sensing that the atmosphere was going strangely Duke Hayback also hurriedly came and stood next to Ludger.

At that time Kayden Lumos’ mouth opened.

“It’s a chore. “Pay attention.”

Kayden’s gaze was extremely cold as he spoke in a cold and stern tone.

But Ludger did not back down.

“This is the work of a student taking my class. “As a teacher I cannot just sit back and watch.”

“Are you saying that the teacher will arbitrarily intervene in family affairs?”

“It was because it didn’t seem like a family matter.”

Although he said it in a different way Ludger’s intention was quite straightforward.

Is what you guys are doing really ordinary housework? It was no different from what he said.

…!

The nobles who were listening to the story around were astonished.

However Kayden’s expression did not change at all.

In fact Heyback who was standing next to Ludger was uncharacteristically looking between Kayden and Ludger.

‘Why is this teacher acting like this all of a sudden?’

I thought he was the type of person who didn’t want to get caught up in troublesome matters but he suddenly found himself in conflict with the head of the Lumos family.

‘Could it be because of the students?’

Ludger who had been quiet until now stepped forward as if to protect Flora Lumos.

Flora Lumos is one of the students taking Ludger’s class. He is even an honor student who ranks first among them.

There was enough reason for Ludger to step forward.

Although it was clearly enough.

‘Even so it is absolutely crazy to establish such a blatant confrontation with the Lumos Duke family.’

The opponent is a duke who can be called a great nobleman.

If you are disliked by him you will definitely be at a disadvantage no matter how much you are Seorn’s teacher.

That was why Hayback a fellow duke made fun of Kayden but never crossed a certain line.

Nevertheless Ludger Chelisi stood proudly in front of Kayden.

Heyback’s gaze became calm.

‘Contrary to his cold appearance was he a man who cared about his students?’

It’s hot.

Kadathushan recalled Ludgar’s force that had warned him.

He doesn’t give in no matter who his opponent is.

This is evident from what he explicitly said to himself the duke.

The nobles who had gathered to connect with the Lumos family were equally embarrassed.

Flora is a sore finger that even the Lumos family is reluctant to mention.

no. Will they at least treat me like a finger?

I literally felt like I didn’t exist.

That was a fact that anyone who was even remotely involved with the Lumos family was vaguely aware of.

‘Are you saying you’re going to make a fuss with the Lumos family?’

‘Tsk. ‘I think he thinks he’s worth something just because people around him praise him.’

Most nobles clicked their tongues.

Ludger is a man who has recently achieved great fame but in the end he is just a fallen nobleman.

The power he possesses itself cannot be compared to that of Kayden Lumos.

Gulp.

The silence was so thick that you could hear someone swallowing.

Ludgar Chelish and Kayden Lumos.

The two men continued to stare at each other with no one avoiding their gaze.

If there was a sword in each other’s hands they were ready to swing it at any moment.

At that moment the second daughter Katrina came forward.

“and! hello.”

Katrina greets Ludger with a bright smile.

She looked up at Ludger with a coy look and asked.

“Are you Mr. Ludger Chelisi? I had a good time watching sparring yesterday. You look really cool! “He shoots magic very quickly and even uses light magic.”

“That one….”

“this. My introduction is late. nice to meet you My name is Katrina Lumos. “He is the legitimate successor to the Lumos family.”

Katrina gently lifted the hem of her skirt with both hands and gave a polite greeting.

At the same time he emphasized the word orthodoxy and even glanced at Flora behind Ludger.

Its behavior was like that of a fox.

“More than that Mr. Ludger are you really Flora’s teacher over there?”

Katrina immediately showed her true colors.

Her eyes curved like crescent moons turned towards Flora.

There was even an uncontrollable smile on his lips.

“It’s really amazing. Flora who was abandoned by her family and could not do anything is treated as an honor student here. I guess you don’t know how people work? Well it’s only natural since you’re born with magical talent. Oh did you not know? “Flora that child is treated as half of the family.”

Katrina covered her mouth with her hand and laughed.

Flora who heard those words rather than refute them lowered her head.

‘I got caught.’

When Flora heard that she was not treated properly by her family she wanted to hide in a rat hole.

The fact that I was caught by Mr. Ludger and no one else was more humiliating than anything else.

‘I’d rather not come here.’

I thought it was okay now.

I didn’t want anything else. It didn’t matter if I just said “How are you?”

Was it such a big mistake to hope for something like that?

Was it such a bad thing to want to at least be treated like a human being if not warmly?

It felt like the tears I was trying to hold back would overflow again.

I thought I had let it all go a long time ago but there were still tears left.

‘I’m an idiot.’

I thought my father would recognize me just because of my talent.

What a foolish wind this is.

‘I am….’

“Excuse me.”

Ludger’s voice erased all of Flora’s thoughts.

Ludger did not counter Katrina’s words or even glance at Flora’s condition.

only.

As always staring at others with a blunt face.

He just spoke in an unwavering voice.

“Miss Katrina are you interested in Seorn Academy?”

Ludger speaks highly of Katrina because he is an outsider and not a student.

Katrina nodded yes to those words.

“yes. Of course. I am also preparing to enter Seorn next year. And that too as a senior. Now look at this.”

Katrina speaks confidently while performing a second-tier magic technique on her palm.

Second-tier ice magic [Ice Bullet].

A sharp chunk of ice suddenly floats onto the palm of your hand.

The speed at which he performs the spell and the concentration of his magic power are so outstanding that they are hard to find in people of his age.

In fact Katrina was already thinking that she would win top honors next year.

“That’s great magic.”

“Hoho. It’s no big deal. “Something like this is a piece of cake.”

“As a teacher in Seorn may I evaluate Lady Katrina?”

“yes. “Of course.”

Katrina who thought she would get nothing but praise anyway readily agreed.

Ludger nodded that he understood but his mood changed at that moment.

“Katrina Lumos. “10 penalty points for poor attitude.”

“yes?”

Katrina’s smiling face which had been expecting a compliment cracked.

“Five penalty points for falling short of the magic implementation speed standard. 10 penalty points for insufficient technique development. “10 penalty points for thinking lightly about magic.”

“Now wait a minute! “What on earth is that…!”

“Let me ask you a question. A little while ago I showed you the magic of the second-tier magic ice bullet and ice bullet is composed of a total of four elements. Do you know what the structure of the spell that expands its power is?”

“that….”

“Did you just follow what was taught without even analyzing the structure of the magic you were dealing with? Are you showing that as a boast? 20 penalty points have been added for lack of understanding of magic.”

“….”

Katrina pushed by Ludger’s momentum was unable to give a proper rebuttal.

The penalty points that piled up in an instant made me dizzy.

Where have you ever been treated so blatantly?

does not exist.

To put it bluntly there has never been one.

Because she is a member of the Empire’s third ducal family.

Because everyone only said good things to her and flattered her.

It has been that way and it will always be that way.

I guess so.

“Did Seorn look funny? “If you come to Seorn with just that level of skill you will only rank at half the rank let alone the top rank.”

A shadow appeared on Ludger’s face as he glared at Katrina.

This man had no hesitation in speaking to anyone.

Ludger who was looking at Katrina gritting her teeth and clenching her fist in exasperation turned her gaze to Kayden Lumos.

“Duke Kayden Lumos.”

For the first time his eyes which had shown no interest from beginning to end contained feelings for Ludger.

Ludger spoke coldly to Kayden.

“If we want to enroll him in Seorn we will have to re-educate him.”

A feeling of astonishment spreads.

Kadathushan opened his mouth wide and Flora who was standing behind Ludger also opened her eyes.

Needless to say the reaction of the Lumos followers who were watching around.

committed.

Now Ludger has humiliated Kayden in front of everyone.

“Hey…!”

One of the nobles pointed at Ludger with a trembling finger.

“How dare this guy make such a foolish move in front of someone…!”

“I praised you as Seorn’s teacher and you went crazy!”

“A person from a fallen noble family is arrogant!”

People who were trying to impress Kayden Lumos at this opportunity screamed and became angry instead.

Ludger looked at them with eyes as calm as a lake at dawn and slowly opened his mouth.

“I only gave an evaluation as Seorn’s teacher because the young lady requested it.”

“You can easily say that your mouth is open…!”

“Just stop there.”

The nobleman who was furious and was about to kick Ludger out right away kept his mouth shut as he saw the old man stepping forward.

Heyback Kadatushan overwhelmed the audience with his insight that was hard to fathom which was completely different from when he was frivolous towards Ludger.

He said with a kind smile.

“Inevitably our opinions clashed and a lot of heat arose. It’s been a long time since I’ve had a good time so why not calm down a little? Mr. Ludger. “You also went a little too far with your words.”

“Be careful.”

“And so do you. “Why are you getting so upset when you didn’t hear anything?”

“…but!”

A middle-aged nobleman tried to protest but he could not finish his sentence.

The person who raised his hand to stop him from speaking was none other than Kayden Lumos.

“stop. Until there.”

A magnificent voice that resonated with the soul stopped the nobles.

The atmosphere which had been boiling like a volcano about to explode suddenly quenched as if we were entering an ice age.

Everyone looked at Kayden Lumos.

With a look of anticipation on what he would do.

“Did you say Mr. Ludger Chelisi?”

Kayden Lumos’ voice was calm.

As if nothing was wrong.

“My daughter committed rudeness because she didn’t know anything yet. “As an adult please forgive me generously.”

But Ludger could feel his gaze meeting his gaze directly.

The anger in his eyes is so hot that it feels like it will burn him at any moment.

Even while meeting those gazes Ludger shamelessly nodded.

“No problem. “What could be wrong with the child?”

“….”

For the first time wrinkles appeared on Kayden Lumos’ forehead.
