The Academy’s Undercover Professor – 182



◈ Episode 182 Silver Sun (2)

The festival ended and Seorn returned to his normal daily life.

The students talked about past festival events expressed their regrets and made plans for next year.

As a result many students were disorganized because they had not yet forgotten the excitement of the festival.

Incidents of inability to concentrate in class occurred one after another in many classrooms.

But Ludger’s class wasn’t like that.

“It looks like there are still people living in the festival.”

When he stood on the podium and glared the students straightened their backs.

It was a moment when the tension among the students who had relaxed slightly tightened.

“If it catches my eye I will pay close attention to see what the results of the third test will be in the future.”

All the students had no choice but to remain calm in response to that stern warning.

He was a teacher who would do anything.

Above all Ludger was involved in an accident during this festival and was even injured.

Saying “I want to enjoy the festival more here” would only add fuel to his anger.

The students were not that oblivious so they quietly kept their mouths shut.

The class which was held in such a quiet atmosphere ended without any disturbance.

“Get it sorted out.”

“yes yes! “What about Teacher Seo?”

“I have a place to go for a while.”

Ludger ordered his assistant Sedina to bring the materials to the teacher’s office and then went outside Seorn.

The purpose was to check how far the project being carried out at Lederbelk was progressing now that there were no further appointments and there was still a lot of time left.

‘I’ve been busy lately so it’s been a while since I’ve been to Lederbelk.’

Lederbelk remained unchanged.

After the Kunst Auction House incident the atmosphere became turbulent but as time passed even that completely cooled down.

Horse-drawn carriages and cars roaming the streets.

A chimney spewing out smoke.

Even the images of hard-working workers.

However unlike usual people wearing priestly uniforms were often seen.

‘Are they people dispatched from the Holy Kingdom of Bretus?’

Perhaps because of the appearance of the Cryptids which shook the very foundation of a nation the withering religion of Lumensis was able to straighten its shoulders again.

It remains to be seen how they will proceed.

Of course that was not the only change at Lederbelk.

‘Is this place?’

The place he arrived at was the place that had recently experienced the most changes in the city of Lederbelk.

‘It’s gotten a lot cleaner.’

Even when he came to visit once construction was still going on in real time.

Now that everything is over the appearance of the dark slums that were once full of filth and stench has completely changed.

Aside from the fact that the exterior was cleaner the number of people walking around was also greater than before.

And the biggest change was the liveliness on the streets.

The most powerful positive energy emitted by those who have tasted hope.

People who are influenced and drawn to the atmosphere are influenced and make it more lively.

“Catch me!”

“hey! thereupon!”

Children carrying small wind-up toys rushed past Ludger.

Originally these children would have been forced to work in factory areas and breathe in exhaust fumes.

Or they were children who had no choice but to steal or pickpocket.

The children were laughing and playing happily.

Ludger glanced at the backs of the children who had passed by and then started walking again.

Eventually he arrived at the busiest clothing store on the street.

Jing!

Before Ludger entered the store the door opened and two customers came out.

They were wealthy-looking middle-aged women in their mid-40s.

The two people dressed in clothes that looked like they had just bought them looked very satisfied.

“I didn’t know there was such a good store in the world.”

“Oh I told you. It’s a place that has become very famous recently. And magazines were full of introductions to this place.”

“I’ll have to try hinting at it to other people later.”

Ludger saw the two people laughing and leaving and went into the store.

rattle.

The waitress who heard the sound of the door opening approached Ludger.

“Welcome. “What are you looking for?”

“Is there a manager here?”

“yes? Violetta is working upstairs right now…”

“Call me.”

“Who am I looking for the manager?”

The waiter asked in a slightly wary voice.

Could it be that you don’t know me?

Ludger thought for a moment and then opened his mouth.

“Just tell them the owner is here.”

“Oh you?!”

The waiter trembled as if he remembered something at those words.

Although she had just started working she did not know anything.

How great is the presence of the ‘owner’ on this street.

In particular even Violetta the manager of this place treated the owner with great hospitality when he came and even asked him to contact her no matter what.

“I’ll call you right away!”

Not long after the employee disappeared a pounding sound was heard from above.

Afterwards Violetta appeared upstairs with an urgent look on her face.

“There was no need to come in such a hurry.”

“The owner himself came by so how could I not show my face?”

Ludger shrugged his shoulders as he watched Violetta talking calmly while controlling her facial expressions.

Violetta said with a slightly sullen expression.

“If you were going to come in advance please contact me. “If that were the case I would have been prepared.”

“Why bother doing that? “It’s also a hindrance to working people.”

“From what you say I guess you’re done with the sightseeing on your way back?”

Ludger nodded to Violetta’s question.

“It’s completely changed. “The people are full of energy.”

“It’s all thanks to the owner.”

“I just invested. “It is your ability to save it.”

“If the owner says so I will do it that way.”

Violetta obediently agreed.

Even though this man who not only provided the funds but also provided the idea for the business owns most of the shares in this changed street.

He did not praise or brag about his achievements.

He was this kind of man.

“So what exactly brought you here? “A simple outing?”

“I came because I had time to spare but I heard there have been a lot of saboteurs recently.”

“That’s nonsense. “How tiring it is to be late and wander around when people you normally don’t pay attention to suddenly become urgent.”

Still we were able to block the interference from merchants without any problems.

The real problem was what happened next.

“Did you hear the news that the owner came all the way here in person?”

“okay.”

“…As you know the Silver Sun are the ones who ruled this world before the Red Society. “They are out in the sun now but they are much more vicious than those from the enemy society.”

Those guys have become even bigger now.

In the current situation where we were moving forward like a ship with a favorable wind the Silver Sun was like a typhoon blocking our path.

A disaster that cannot be avoided with just one boat.

Violetta’s face couldn’t help but look sad.

“As you know they are different from the enemy society. That’s why it’s dangerous.”

“I guess so.”

They are not people who can be looked down on just because they are a criminal organization.

Because there are wizards and knights within the Silver Sun organization.

In fact those who have not become active drivers are strapped for money or those who are active drivers waste their money through gambling.

It was not uncommon to find yourself in a dark world half voluntarily.

The same goes for wizards.

Because of money.

It was like that in the past but now the world is driven more and more by the power of capital.

However the knights and wizards who still account for a portion of the world’s combat power are amazing.

They too were ultimately powerless before the power of capital.

Silver Sun bound such people with money and manipulated them into his hands.

Violetta knew that so when she heard that Silver Sun was targeting this direction she had trouble sleeping.

“Still I won’t step forward right away but I think we need to prepare.”

“okay. Still that’s why I came here. First meet with the person in charge and talk…”

The moment the two were talking the door to the store suddenly opened.

“We’re in big trouble! “Mistress Violetta!”

“what’s the matter.”

“It’s an attack! “Some bastards came and set fire to the printing factory!!”

“what?!”

Violetta’s expression turned serious.

Why is this an attack as we talk about this?

Before Violetta could say anything Ludger moved.

“I will go first.”

Ludger ran out of the store and went up to the roof of the building using the wire launcher.

As I looked around from the rooftop I saw smoke coming from not far away.

Ludger ran in the direction of the fire without delay.

* * *

The workers wearing white bandanas around their mouths attacked the Dajjagojja printing factory without asking why.

“Wipe it all away!”

“Take it all down!”

The employees working there were unable to do anything due to the sudden attack.

Silver Sun gang members destroyed printing machines with pipes and mercilessly beat anyone who got in their way.

Screams of pain were heard everywhere.

“Light it up!”

He poured gasoline on magazines piled on one side of the factory and set them on fire.

In an instant the paper caught fire and the fire spread violently.

“It’s done. “Bounce!”

They fled as quickly as they had arrived.

It was later that Ludger arrived at the scene which quickly became a mess.

“….”

The inside of the factory is in disarray and the urgent look of people fetching water to put out the fire.

If things continued like this the fire was going to engulf the entire factory.

‘Magic…’

That was when Ludger tried to put out the fire with magic.

Something he had put in his inner pocket made a loud noise.

‘This…’

What I took out just in case was a red burning gemstone.

‘The remonstrance stone left behind by Quasimodo upon his death.’

As it got closer to the hot flames the stone’s tremors became stronger.

At this moment Ludger realized how to use this revenant stone.

“Get out of the way.”

Ludger pushing through the crowd picked up the revenant stone and held it out forward and the burning fire began to move.

“Bubul?”

“Are you being sucked in?”

The flames that were about to burn the factory were sucked into the revenant stone held out by Ludger.

Eventually the revenant stone consumed all the flames.

Although it was a little bit it seemed like the revenant stone had become brighter.

“Boo lights out!”

“Hurry and move the injured!”

Ludger who was watching the busy people glanced at the revenant stone and put it back in his pocket.

Suddenly I realized that I couldn’t see the person I needed to see.

‘What about Deon and Mastella?’

Originally business related to job printing was the role of Old Kids one of the organizations in the slums in the past.

The people who ran Old Kids were Deon an old man and Mastella a doll-like girl.

Those two people were no longer visible.

‘no way.’

With a heavy face Ludger headed towards the adjacent wooden building where Deon and Mastella were staying.

Ludger opened the door roughly and looked.

The terrible scene unfolding inside.

The inside of the building was filled with blood and full of corpses.

Most of them were members of the Silver Sun organization wearing white hoods.

And at the center of the tragedy were Deon and Mastella.

“grandfather. “Please open your eyes.”

Deon lying on the floor was covered in blood.

One of his arms was missing and his body was full of stab wounds.

The blood he shed had already formed a puddle on the floor.

On the contrary Mastella had no injuries.

Blood splattered but it wasn’t her blood.

Mastella was shaking Deon with a messed up face.

“This is…”

Mastella sensed Ludger’s presence and turned to him.

“Owner. Are you here? I’m sorry. “We had to go… to greet them.”

“…Mastella.”

“Oh. It’s strange. The tears won’t stop falling. It shouldn’t be like this….

Mastella’s face was covered in tears and snot.

Ludger realized how this had happened.

By setting fire to the printing factory some Silver Sun gang members targeted Mastella and Deon.

And Deon fought to protect Mastella.

“Why on earth…! “Why are you doing this only to us?”

Mastella who usually acted polite and mature couldn’t hold back and screamed.

Just barely.

I finally gained hope that I could succeed.

I hoped that now I would not have to live in pain like before.

Was it really that wrong?

Was it really that bad to live looking upward?

“We just wanted to live like human beings.”

The abandoned children huddled together and supported each other in the cold of midwinter.

There were children who were beaten for not earning money and starving because they could not eat even a single piece of bread.

When you ask for help to save your life people say:

Dirty bastards like you are a sin just by being born.

It was wrong to try to live like a human being.

I did not lose hope in such a world.

I tried my best not to lose it.

Yet the world was trying to take away what was precious from her.

“Please… help me.”

If there is a God please.

Please listen to our story.

The moment Mastella tried to speak in a tearful voice.

Ludger covered her eyes with his hand.

“It’s okay.”

Mastella shivered at the gentle voice.

A soft voice that was completely reminiscent of the owner she knew.

“Everything is fine.”

As Ludgar comforted Mastella his gaze never left Deon.

Deon’s eyes couldn’t focus properly so it was no wonder that he lost his breath at any time.

Nevertheless Deon desperately stared at Ludger’s figure until the end.

Please take care of that child.

His eyes said so.

It will be painful.

If I had run away I would have survived.

Despite this Deon chose to fight instead of running away.

“I will do that.”

A hurt child is crying.

An adult is dying for a child.

The future decided at the end is ultimately filled with sadness.

then.

“Release seal control.”
