The Academy’s Undercover Professor – 180



◈ Episode 180: The Wolf and the Crow (3)

At that word Freuden threw with anger.

Ludger quietly closed his eyes.

“Are you going to pretend you don’t know now? “Just make an excuse.”

Ludger closed his eyes and thought of Line.

okay. I was definitely surprised when I first encountered her in Seorn.

Because I never thought we would meet in a place like this.

But that was all.

Since we didn’t know each other anymore I didn’t show it and didn’t pretend to know.

To be precise I was close to being in a position where I couldn’t pretend to know anything.

But is this the trick of fate?

While on patrol for the first time Rine got involved in a dispute with a noble student and ended up resolving it.

After that he saved someone from being almost attacked by a werewolf.

After realizing the magic power of no attribute he gave her the book he had had for a long time.

He ended up saving her from Quasimodo’s attack at the banquet hall.

At some point our meetings increased and when we came to our senses we became friends.

Just like the old days.

but.

The connection with the past did not stop with Line.

Another party closely connected to the events of that day.

Because even Freuden Ulburg was in Seorn.

‘Is this also because of the decision?’

Ludger thought of Linne’s eyes.

A power she was not yet aware of.

Therefore it is an ability that does not know what kind of trouble it may bring.

From that day 12 years ago now.

It was highly likely that the power of the judgment was at work as the fate of that day which had been skipped for a long time was met here in Seorn.

A world where gods magic different races and mysteries exist.

Therefore it is a world where nothing is strange no matter what happens.

however.

‘It’s something that can’t be argued about now with what has already happened.’

Freuden Ulburg was glaring at him right before his eyes.

The cocky and daring kid from 12 years ago has grown into a mature person.

Without forgetting what happened that day.

“so.”

Therefore I had no choice but to go even rougher.

“What are you asking me to do?”

“what?”

“In the end that is a thing of the past. “What is the purpose of bringing it up and saying that to me?”

“…you.”

Freuden looked at Ludger with disgust in his eyes.

“I thought you were still keeping the events of that day in your mind. Because of regret and guilt. That’s why he came to Seorn and helped Linene…”

“Don’t be mistaken.”

Ludger dismissed Freuden’s words with a sneer.

“I came here with something that happened 12 years ago? “You have to say funny things in moderation.”

“Then why are you here?”

“that….”

Why did you come to Seorn?

Ludger who remembered the reason again was speechless.

“…You don’t need to know that.”

“also….”

Did he read something from that exposed expression?

Freuden had even stronger suspicions.

At least in Freuden’s memories Ludger was a wanderer whose identity was hidden.

He suddenly became Seorn’s teacher under the name of a fallen nobleman?

Even on this day when Line entered school as a freshman this year?

It can’t be a coincidence.

“I may try my best to deny it but I know. “For what purpose did you come here?”

“gibberish.”

“Even if you act so shamelessly the sin you committed that day will not go away. Even if you treat Rine well with that kind of guilt. Do you think she would want that?”

“So what do you plan to do? Are you planning to go to Line and tell her everything?”

When Ludger asked Freuden kept his mouth shut.

“okay. I can’t say it. “Because you also knew that she lost her memory but you didn’t tell her until now.”

“…I am different from you.”

“It’s different…. Is it really different? You and I both know what happened that day but we ignore it. “If you think something is wrong shouldn’t you just tell me everything?”

“What do you say you know? “You don’t even know how I feel…!”

“under. Should I know that?”

“…!”

Freuden glared at Ludger with bloodshot eyes.

His two fists were shaking.

However no further action or rebuttal was possible.

“If you want to tell something you can do so. “I don’t care.”

Freuden bit his lip at Ludger’s provocation.

He gave Ludger a strong glare one last time then turned his back and left.

It seemed like he wouldn’t be able to control himself if he continued to face Ludger like this.

‘You little brat.’

Ludger looked at Freuden’s back and sighed softly.

‘There is nothing in this world that is not tiring.’

I had already heard of the name Freuden Ulburg.

However since it happened a long time ago I thought he had forgotten it.

He was a born noble back then but Line was the child of an unknown commoner.

But when I think back.

It was funny to think that I would easily forget what happened that day.

Just as Freuden never forgot what happened that day.

Ludger also didn’t forget what happened that day.

“Now that you’re gone you can come out. “Hans.”

“…this.”

As Ludger spoke Hans who had been hiding appeared from behind a tree.

“I’m sorry brother. “I didn’t mean to listen to it on purpose.”

“I know. “We were originally going to meet on our own but it was that brat who arbitrarily intervened.”

“…Are you better than that? From the looks of it it looks like your identity has been discovered. “If this continues isn’t it only a matter of time before you get caught?”

Hans recalled Freuden’s reaction to Ludger a moment ago.

Judging from that reaction it was highly likely that Freuden would reveal that Ludger was under a false identity.

“You don’t have to worry about that.”

“yes? “Have you made any preparations in advance?”

“There’s no need to do anything like preparation.”

Ludger said looking at the spot where Freuden had disappeared.

“He can’t speak anyway.”

* * *

‘I’m a human like him?’

What Ludger said still hasn’t left my mind.

Anger boiled coldly in Freuden’s chest.

‘You should have said you were sorry the moment you saw me and her from the beginning.’

But what was his reaction?

He shamelessly entered Seorn and remained unaware until the end.

Rather he even approached Line naturally.

Freuden’s honest feelings were that he wanted to expose everything that Ludger had done in the past.

But at the same time there was something that caught me off guard.

Ludger is already a famous teacher in Seorn.

Now he a student is saying that Ludger’s identity is all false and that he has done bad things in the past.

Who will believe it?

‘In the first place what I’m talking about is things for which there is no actual evidence left.’

There is no evidence and no justification to bring down Ludger.

On the contrary they may tarnish the reputation of the Ulburg family by trying to tarnish a decent teacher.

‘Did that man have such an ironclad reputation just in case something like this happened?’

And there was one more reason why I didn’t want the truth to be known.

His pride simply did not allow it.

Spreading rumors about his weaknesses was the same as admitting that this side could not win head on.

Even though I knew it was irrational.

His life couldn’t tolerate his pride.

‘Even so… Rine needs to know this.’

Line is a party to the crimes committed by Ludger.

Not only did I experience a terrible incident that day but I even had my memories erased.

Line had to know the unknown truth.

“uh? Senior Freuden? “Have you finished your business?”

Just then I bumped into Line who was passing by.

Did Erendir part ways and walk alone?

Now that we were alone together it was an opportunity made in heaven.

Freuden approached Line.

“Rine.”

“senior. What happened? “I don’t like your expression.”

“I have something to tell you…”

Let’s talk.

What happened that day. An erased piece of her life.

I had to tell it.

Although Freuden opened his mouth with that thought in mind.

“….”

Strangely no voice came out as if something was blocking it.

“…senior?”

Freuden was a little scared at the sight of Line asking innocently.

If he tells the whole truth will Line be genuinely happy?

‘That can’t be possible.’

Liné will definitely be sad if she finds out the truth.

The teacher he trusted and relied on actually erased his memories and killed his mother.

Where else can such a tragedy occur?

Is it really right to recall potentially hurtful memories in the name of truth?

It was this that made Freuden hesitate.

‘Can Line really handle this truth? ‘Maybe I’m trying to hurt her again.’

Obviously even if a person is hurt and sad he or she can overcome it and try to move on.

But that is excessive idealism.

There are many more people in the world who cannot overcome their wounds.

Because not everyone is superhuman.

Ordinary people cry and break down at the slightest failure.

What could be more irresponsible than advising people to just get over sadness?

Is it okay to say so carelessly that it is none of your business?

‘Do I really deserve it?’

It would have been better if I didn’t know from the beginning.

It would have been nice if that had happened.

Suddenly I remembered what Ludger said a little while ago.

-You and I are the same.

It was Freuden himself who got angry at those words.

But at this moment of hesitation Freuden implicitly admitted that what he said was correct.

‘no. ‘I’m different from that person.’

He is different from someone who is full of lies and deceives others.

I had to prove that I was different.

So I shouldn’t have stayed silent here.

therefore.

“senior?”

“….”

Line’s clear eyes look at us with concern.

The moment when you witness a sparkling light like starlight in the night sky.

Freuden felt like his whole body had completely relaxed.

“You’re okay right?”

“…okay. are you okay.”

“What is it that you want to talk about?”

“…No it’s nothing.”

In the end Freuden said nothing.

I couldn’t do it.

“I’m sorry. “For making me waste time going there for no reason.”

“yes? No no! Absolutely not!”

“Go and see. “I’ll just go in now.”

Freuden turned his back and slowly walked away.

‘I couldn’t tell you.’

embrace.

In the end he also deceived Rine.

I also know.

That he was a human being just like that man.

I hated that more than dying and it was I who hated it.

Still I couldn’t say it.

‘I didn’t want to hurt you.’

I didn’t want to see her cry.

I didn’t want to see you sad.

That’s it.

Even if you end up like the man you hate the most.

If only I could protect this child’s innocence now.

‘Rine. ‘Maybe you don’t remember.’

The meeting that day. Memories.

I’m sure I won’t be able to think of it in the future.

But it’s okay.

‘Because I will remember.’

At the same time Ludger came to mind.

A man whose everything is fake.

The actions of the man who did not stop him from leaving but rather provoked him as if to show off.

‘You knew. He knew from the beginning. That I will never be able to speak.’

Wow.

The hand clenched into a fist gained strength.

I didn’t feel very good about being completely played by that human.

‘okay. I admit it. That I don’t have the strength to bite you now. ‘For now I just have to put up with it and move on.’

But if the opportunity arises.

Definitely then.

‘Because Ulburg’s wolves never miss an opportunity to bite their prey.’

* * *

“You can just ignore the Freuden gun. He’s not a proper wolf yet. It’s just a baby. “I don’t know about it later but there’s no need to worry about it right now.”

“yes? Oh yes. “If you say so then what?”

Hans answered hesitantly but since Ludger had said that he did not question it further.

“First of all while my brother was away I organized things and gathered information on my own. Fortunately it seems like yesterday’s warehouse fire incident was just going to be an accident caused by poor management of fireworks.”

“If you’re the president it’s worth it to end like that.”

“Little is known about this matter so it seems that everyone except a very few people think so.”

“When you say that you are effectively declaring that you will not escalate the incident.”

“I guess they think that since there are people who were captured alive any more than that would be a waste of time and manpower.”

“What happened to the captured remnants of the Black Dawn?”

“First of all he is detained inside Seorn. But this is so subtle…”

Hans said scratching his cheek.

“Surprisingly it seems that the blue-haired lady is in charge of their interrogation.”

“You mean Casey Selmore?”

“I confirmed that I entered the president’s office but I don’t know what happened after that. However I am certain that some kind of transaction took place there.”

“Just as you wanted. “Is it because the bait was spread that day?”

“Well I understand that you did it on purpose.”

Hans asked in a slightly worried tone.

“Are you okay? “That young lady seemed to have a tough temperament.”

“It’s not that he’s formidable he’s actually quite temperamental.”

“If a young lady like that knew that she was used… wouldn’t she be a bit tired?”

“That’s right.”

Ludger also understood what Hans was worried about.

Of course you can comfortably say that you will keep it a secret for the rest of your life without being found out.

But is there really any guarantee that Casey Selmore won’t be caught in the future?

“Just like a long tail gets stepped on she will probably notice something strange when she gets to a certain stage.”

“…What if that happens?”

“What can I do? “That was back then.”

“Isn’t that too irresponsible?”

It would be correct to say that it is irresponsible.

“Who knew that things from three years ago would come this far in the first place?”

“No then wouldn’t your brother be in bigger trouble?”

“what.”

“You used that girl three years ago too.”

Delica Kingdom 3 years ago.

Ludger acted as James Moriarty there and actively used Casey Selmore.

As a detector to uncover deeply rooted incidents in a country on his behalf.

“….”

“If you get caught later won’t you have to pay for all three years at once? Are you saying that the reason you came to this city right now was to visit your brother?”

Given Casey Selmore’s character if she found out that she had been taken advantage of by the same person twice.

“hmm.”

“older brother?”

“After all I shouldn’t get caught right?”

“…is it obvious? But you just said that. “That detective girl will definitely notice someday.”

“I did.”

“Then what will you do then?”

Actually it wasn’t something I thought much about.

There were more than one thing to worry about right now other than Casey Selmore.

But what if something like that really happens again?

“I guess I’ll have to run away again.”

“Ugh.”

Hans sighed as if he knew that would happen.

“Hans. “That’s not what’s important right now.”

“Then what is so important?”

What else are you going to say?

Hans was about to ask that question but the moment he saw Ludger’s expression the thought came to his mind.

‘Oh. ‘Your expression… doesn’t look very good?’

Ludger was a man whose expression did not show a scratch even when quite a few things happened.

He was clearly agitated now. He is nervous.

“What on earth is going on that’s why you’re reacting like that?”

Ludger closed his eyes and spoke as if sighing.

“Because of this incident Master may have noticed that I am here.”
