The Academy’s Undercover Professor – 167



◈ Episode 167: Preparation for the decisive battle (2)

Crolophebius was locked in his room and shivering.

come.

Finally that day came.

The day the Fire Witch promised to kill herself.

‘Where on earth is he now?’

Ludger who had said he would help him was nowhere to be seen.

no. Is it true that you wanted to protect this side in the first place?

If you think about it they didn’t even leave any means of contacting you.

Krolo’s body trembled like an aspen due to a sudden surge of anxiety.

‘What if I’ve actually been deceived this whole time?’

What if Ludger had no intention of helping him from the beginning?

But he clearly seemed to have a purpose for the fire witch.

In that case at least they will take care of dealing with the fire witch.

It may not even guarantee his safety.

I just thought it would be like that.

And that thought became confirmed the moment I heard a humming sound coming from afar.

“Sigh!”

The song that always echoed in his nightmares gave Krolo goosebumps all over his body.

come.

The witch came to kill him.

My trembling mouth could not bear to speak.

‘Where are you? ‘Where is that person!’

Krolo pulled out his hair and shouted inwardly.

Meanwhile the singing gradually grew louder.

That means only one thing.

His death was approaching.

Does this mean it will end like this?

It was such a moment of despair.

Snap!

A mouse appeared in front of Crolophebius.

* * *

Esmeralda walked slowly down the street.

A dark quiet street with no one around.

In the darkness where not even the moonlight could be seen he shook his jet-black hair.

The bouncing steps were light and cheerful as if someone had just gone for a walk.

Eventually she stopped in front of the lodgings where Crolo Phoebe was staying.

Esmeralda lifted her hand and knocked lightly on the door.

“dripping. Can you hear me?”

I asked that question but no answer came from inside.

Esmeralda thought for a moment and pulled the door handle.

“Huh?”

The door that I thought would be firmly locked opened so easily.

Could it be that he had given up?

Or are you just going to come and beg for my life?

“No no no.”

How long have you been waiting for this day and are you planning on ending it like this?

Esmeralda suppressed her slowly rising anger and entered the house.

A room so messy that it’s hard to believe it’s inhabited.

A sight that clearly shows how Crolophebius lives here.

But it was different from what I expected.

‘I thought it would break even more.’

I planned to push him to his limit and then give him death.

However looking at the traces in the room it was assumed that he was in better shape than expected.

Esmeralda was starting to get annoyed.

Esmeralda who was scanning the room was puzzled when she did not see Crolo Pevius.

‘what? It must be here.’

Then a crack from afar! I felt a presence moving away along with the sound.

A cruel smile appeared on Esmeralda’s lips.

“Hmph. It should come out like that. “Wouldn’t it be more fun to struggle like that?”

The scenery beyond the window.

It was so dark outside that nothing could be seen but Esmeralda saw clearly.

The back of Crolo Phoebe who is hurriedly running away.

“Ahahaha.”

Esmeralda smiled happily and chased after Crolo Phoebe.

Elegant and leisurely.

A dark forest far from the festival site.

Four men and women were moving carefully.

“Aidan. “What on earth are you going to do?”

Teishi continued to grumble as if she couldn’t believe she was in a place like this at the end of the festival.

“I don’t even know if there really is a suspicious person in the first place.”

“So be quiet. Or you fall out.”

“what?!”

Teishi got angry at Leo’s point.

In the end Aidan had no choice but to intervene.

“fizzle. Stop it both of you. “If I keep doing this I might get caught.”

“Aidan. “If what you said is true we shouldn’t even be here.”

Teish came up with a straight argument.

Aidan told everyone that he had witnessed a suspicious gathering.

That was the reason why the four of us were moving around like this now.

But Tacie wasn’t very happy about this.

“This is too dangerous.”

It was natural for her to express concern.

Suspicious people are gathered there and going there yourself is no different from entering a tiger’s den.

“Can’t you just tell the teachers?”

“that….”

Aidan also showed hesitation because he had been worried about that part but Leo quickly stepped forward.

“Wow. “Do you think the teacher will believe this?”

To Leo’s point Teishi responded bluntly.

“what. “There’s no guarantee that you won’t believe me.”

“So if you tell who will you tell? What if it’s a teacher we know? Miss Merilda? Or Miss Selina? or not….”

Mr. Ludger Chelisi?

Although he didn’t bother to say his name everyone kept their mouths shut.

I’m sure Mr. Ludger would be of great help. However it is also true that he is someone who is not easy to talk to.

Leo continued.

“Think about it. We found out about this unintentionally. Suppose you tell that to your teachers. Then I’ll ask you right away. Where did you find out this fact? “How did it happen like that?”

“Well Aidan happened to…”

Tacie tried to speak but then closed her mouth.

“okay. It’s a coincidence. “Will the teachers believe that we found out by chance?”

“Are you saying we are bound to be suspicious too?”

“If you were going to tell me you should have told me a long time ago. If you come this far and inform us too late it’s already too late. “We too have no choice but to step on board the dragon.”

It may not have been dangerous but it was clear that life at the academy would affect me.

“Now we have to prove our innocence. Or just pretend not to notice and go enjoy the festival.”

“That’s not possible.”

Aidan said firmly.

It was not fair to condone the meeting of a suspicious organization even after knowing about it.

Leo shrugged his shoulders saying he knew that would happen and asked Taycy what to do now.

“Ugh.”

Teishi bit her lip and hesitated to answer.

In fact she probably doesn’t want to take risks and make a mark.

‘But… it’s a festival.’

Teishi wanted to enjoy her first magic festival for the first time in a while.

In fact I even promised to watch the fireworks with Aidan.

But now I’m chasing suspicious guys through the dark bushes.

Teish looked at Iona with an expression asking for help.

She who had been following him silently until now looked at Teishi and tilted her head.

His reaction was that he did not understand at all why he was looked at like that.

okay. I didn’t think much of this in the first place.

“iced coffee! okay! okay! “You can do it!”

Finally giving up Teysi huffed and plopped down in her seat.

When Leo saw that he sighed in relief.

‘Have we passed the critical point?’

If the teachers were called here the incident would be even bigger.

Although it was a bit far-fetched I was glad I succeeded in persuading him.

‘I don’t know who tipped me off but he’s hoping to get the job done in my favor.’

Otherwise he would have spread information to Seorn’s side as well.

The fact that I only hinted at it to him means that I will wait and see how this side will proceed.

‘It really feels like I’m being tested.’

However it is not we who are holding the reins but an unidentified opponent.

So for now I have no choice but to follow his will.

I approached Taysi who was squatting on Aidan and asked her carefully.

“Tacy. are you okay?”

“I don’t know!”

Aidan couldn’t understand why Tayce was suddenly so angry.

Leo who was watching the scene patted Aidan on the shoulder.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

“huh? uh? “What do you mean?”

“It’s okay if you don’t know. Anyway I think it’s about time.”

As soon as Leo finished speaking the bushes a short distance away began to move and people began to appear one by one.

Aidan and the others quickly lowered themselves.

They finally showed up.

Before we knew it about 10 people had gathered in one place and started talking among themselves.

“Everyone. Are you ready?”

“okay. All preparations are complete. “Now is your chance as the festival is in full swing.”

“Then let’s go. “Everything is for the Dawn Society.”

The four people who heard their conversation looked at each other with heavy eyes.

Aidan nodded and spoke carefully with his mouth.

‘let’s go.’

Ludger moved quietly in the dark.

A maneuver so stealthy that it feels like a shadow is crawling on the floor.

There was no one on the street but even if there were they wouldn’t have been able to spot it.

“Hans. “What is the situation now?”

Ludger who was moving quickly in the shadows asked Hans.

The answer came back right away.

[Crollo Pevius is running away now.]

“Where are we headed?”

[First of all we are using rats to lead them to a place where there are no people. I plan to move around a bit and take it to a deserted warehouse.]

“Esmeralda?”

[I’m quietly following you. Fortunately the other person seems to be enjoying this situation as well. He seemed intent on slowly playing with his prey.]

While speaking to Ludger Hans was monitoring the situation in real time.

Crolophebius was running away out of breath like a man who had encountered a ghost.

Hans the mouse handler was guiding him but Esmeralda was also helping him.

flame.

Every time Crolo Pevius lost his mind and tried to run away to where the people were a ball of fire rose up and blocked his path.

-Kyahahahaha!

As the fireworks exploded the horrifying sound that came out made Krolo’s face turn pale.

The sound of a witch’s laughter.

The moment Krolo saw the flames he was startled and was busy avoiding them.

As Hans watched the scene he felt the back of his neck becoming damp with cold sweat.

[He is completely stimulating the other person’s trauma and leading them to do what he wants.]

“It means that the other person has no intention of killing him right away.”

[I see so.]

“i get it.”

Ludger answered like that and cut off communication.

With the words to let me know if anything strange happens.

‘As expected.’

Esmeralda had no intention of killing Crolophebius right away and did not want to attract attention.

The reason was to intentionally lead Crowlo who was trying to escape to a place with many people to another place.

‘Esmeralda is trying to handle things quietly.’

At least it’s not like he’s going crazy and trying to kill anyone.

‘I guess the reason I summoned Quasimodo at the banquet hall that day was because I thought I wouldn’t be able to kill Crolo Phoebe if I didn’t do it then.’

This may have happened because of impatience.

However this action ultimately alarmed Crolophebius and contributed to his suffering.

That’s why I’m moving with a bit more leisure now.

‘Then let’s get rid of the annoying guys first.’

Ludger who had melted into the shadows suddenly appeared in the center of the forest path.

He disarmed the [Ather Nocturnus] covering his body tidied up his clothes and slowly walked inward.

A loud commotion could be heard from afar.

Although it wasn’t visible to the naked eye Ludger’s keen sense of humor detected that there were people there.

I took out my pocket watch from my breast pocket and checked the time.

By now Aidan and his party should be dealing with the remnants of the Black Dawn on the other side.

Even if they are students there will be no problem since they are capable children.

I gave the information to Leo to prepare for any unexpected situation so it should be okay.

Since he was a smart kid he would have contacted the teacher in advance.

All I had to do was sort out this side’s affairs and it was over.

“Who are you?”

The opponent beyond the bushes spotted Ludger and shouted that.

There was no way I could have known it because it approached me so openly in the first place.

The enemy’s young gaze instantly shot towards us.

Ludger chuckled as he looked at them.

“What are you doing here?”

“It’s the enemy!”

The other person who could not recognize Ludger’s appearance because it was dark reflexively shouted.

As expected from a secret society everyone took out their weapons.

“You’re quick to notice.”

But first countless ropes emerged from the shadows beneath their feet tying their bodies together.

“Unauthorized gatherings within Seorn are prohibited.”

“Ugh!”

The other person tried to shout something but his mouth was covered and he couldn’t scream.

The number is 11 people in total.

There were no students and they were all infiltrated as employees.

‘Joanna Lovett isn’t here.’

Then you will be where Aidan is.

‘Joanna Lovett is the second order. If he can come to Seorn as a student his abilities must be outstanding. But it doesn’t matter if those kids have the skills.’

A total of 11 members of the Black Dawn Second and Third Order.

After confirming that they had all been subdued Ludger took out a piece of paper from his pocket.

A blue business card I received from Casey Selmore.

Wow.

Ludger tore it in half.

As if to prove that it was not an ordinary material the torn business card turned into water and dispersed like air bubbles in the air.

The response came less than a minute after sending the signal.

Shoot!

The smell of water came from afar along with the sound of water flowing roughly.

Soon waves came gliding through the bushes.

On top of the waves stood a woman with light blue hair.

The colorless wizard Casey Selmore.

“Huh? “This is.”

Casey got out of the water and was puzzled by the scene.

“I called you here what are these people?”

“These are people who dared to secretly sneak into Seorn and plot a plot.”

“Heh I see!… not.”

Casey stared at Ludger with a slightly questioning gaze.

“Is this what you called me for?”

I thought you would be puzzled too.

Ludger spread the bait he had prepared in preparation for something like this.

“These guys. “They called themselves the Black Dawn.”

“….”

A sharp light appeared in Casey Selmore’s eyes.
