The Academy’s Undercover Professor – 193



◈ Episode 193: Roshen’s Secret (1)

“yes?”

Sedina looked shocked when she heard that she would receive everything.

If it were usual I would have thought ‘Of course First Order! ‘You have great ambitions!’ Ludger who thought he was going to shout looked at me as if asking why.

“Oh no that’s it. Is this still okay? “Even if you receive all the gifts.”

“It doesn’t matter.”

“Because it might cause trouble.”

“Were you worried about that?”

Ludger nodded as if he fully understood the position.

“Sedina. “Why do you think they sent me a gift?”

“yes? “I gave it to you with the intention of giving it to you if you join hands with me…”

“no.”

Ludger spoke clearly.

“There is still a lot of time left before the mystery night opens in the first place. Nevertheless they argued with each other and sent me an invitation. “Why do you think that is?”

“It’s a way of preempting people in advance….”

“An invitation was enough. There was no need to send a gift. But they sent me a gift. “Why do you think?”

“I think it’s to win the hearts of the First Order.”

The authors also know that it is impossible to win people’s hearts simply with rhetoric written in a letter.

Therefore it was necessary to show material compensation beyond that.

“The gift they sent was not an offer that you could receive it if you joined hands but was closer to a tribute asking you to join us.”

“ah.”

Sedina also opened her mouth as if she realized something.

What Ludger said seemed similar but was completely different.

Sedina’s idea is that the gift is on equal terms or if the party sending the gift is in the upper position.

A gift according to Ludger is when the other person bows his head and assumes the position of B.

“It wouldn’t matter if we only came from one place. “It’s actually fortunate that we came from three places at the same time.”

“Then where will you choose after receiving everything?”

“I don’t choose anything.”

“yes?”

“I don’t choose anything.”

I said it twice because I didn’t think he understood.

Sedina’s head tilted slightly to the side.

“Anyway the gift was given to show off over there. “It is our natural right to receive it.”

And even after receiving the gift it is also their right to decide whether to choose or not.

“Then will you send me a reply first?”

“no. There is no need to send a reply. “If I don’t say anything they’ll probably get nervous.”

“yes? then….”

“If they had ears to hear and eyes to see they would know that I have not chosen anything yet. “Then what do you think will happen?”

If you choose one side clearly you can shake off your regrets without hesitation.

However if you continue on this side and cannot come to a conclusion and postpone your choice.

“The Magic Tower and the Academy naturally have no choice but to get impatient!”

“yes. And as the mysterious night approaches their impatience will soar.”

Of course on the outside they won’t be too disappointed that there isn’t a single Ludger.

They will ‘pretend’ like that.

You can already guess what they think of you when you send them the gift.

‘I guess I looked like a very attractive prey.’

His [source code] magic and coordinate designation techniques that transcend space.

For those who explore magic these were things that could not help but roll their eyes.

Ludger is holding it to the end and not showing it yet so he can’t help but get impatient.

I sent a request to join them but more than that it was clear that I wanted Ludger’s special magic.

“So all we have to do is accept the gift from over there and keep our mouths shut.”

“I don’t know that kind of insight. sorry!”

Sedina lowered her head as if feeling guilty.

In the past I would have told her to do things like that in moderation but as I’ve known her for a long time even this kind of behavior has become accepted as routine.

‘More than that this guy. ‘He’s still very loyal to me.’

Ludger had a plan in mind ever since he hired Sedina Loshen as an assistant and placed him close to him.

Sedina Roshen is a mysterious figure even within the Black Dawn.

Nevertheless his loyalty to the organization is deep and his abilities are outstanding.

‘If only I could turn that loyalty into loyalty towards myself rather than towards the Black Dawn.’

Sedina will be an excellent double spy who can mine information on the Black Dawn better than anyone else.

‘The problem is that I have no idea what this guy’s intentions are.’

I couldn’t tell what the source of the respect I was receiving was.

Is it the respect that comes with being a member of the First Order?

Or is it purely respect for people as individuals?

‘I thought this would be enough here so I can’t rule out the possibility that this side’s hand will be revealed and then suddenly change.’

Actually I am not the First Order you knew.

After saying this there was a possibility that Sedina’s eyes would roll over and she would run to her death shouting ‘You’ve been fooling me this whole time!’

‘It hasn’t been long since Zero Order appeared in Seorn but we can’t take the risk when we don’t know if his eyes will remain.’

Still if you look at Sedina’s behavior these days there have been a lot fewer cases of him making a sudden move like before.

Before that I was going out of my way to make myself look good to them but now I’m not doing that.

It may be because I feel mentally stable.

Until then I had been ostracized and not recognized within the organization.

But that alone is not enough.

Unless they know and solve the fundamental problem of Sedina Roshen.

The current relationship cannot develop from something just superficial.

‘Then this is the fundamental problem with Sedina Rochen. ‘I need to know what it is.’

While I was thinking about it for a moment someone knocked on the door of the teacher’s office.

There wouldn’t be any students coming to the teacher’s office this early.

Although Ludger was puzzled he opened his mouth.

“Please come in.”

When permission was given the door opened.

The person who came inside was completely unexpected even for Ludger.

“Mr. Vierano?”

Beirano Dentis.

He was an elf teacher in charge of elemental science for Seorn’s fourth year students.

Although he appears to be an innocent young boy his unique calm and pessimistic aura shows that he boasts considerable experience.

“ah. There you are. “Mr. Ludger.”

“What are you doing here?”

Since the attack on the banquet hall that day we haven’t had much to see each other.

Vierano answered Ludger’s question.

“ah. “I came precisely because I wanted to meet your assistant not Mr. Ludger.”

“You mean Assistant Sedina?”

Ludger looked at Sedina with a puzzled gaze.

On the other hand Sedina seemed a little embarrassed as if she had experienced a similar situation before.

“What’s going on with our assistant?”

“no. It’s not like I have work to do. “I just came here because of my personal favor.”

What a favor.

Although Vierano looks like this he is an elf who has accumulated considerable knowledge.

Of course he wouldn’t have feelings for most things but he went to the extent of personally visiting Sedina a new student this year.

“If you don’t mind may I have a conversation with Ms. Sedina?”

“…Yeah whatever. by all means.”

“Miss Sedina. “Have you still answered what you said back then?”

Vierano asks something right away whether it’s something to hide or not.

Sedina was hesitant about the question.

‘Is this really a love confession?’

Ludger had that thought without realizing it but he immediately denied it.

Looking at their appearance alone the small-sized Sedina and the boyish-looking Vierano are a good pair.

Appearance only.

The actual ages of the two will be dozens of times different.

‘Then there must be a reason why Mr. Vierano is interested in Sedina.’

I wondered if I had stepped on the tail of the Black Dawn but looking at the reaction it seemed like that wasn’t the case.

It was then that Sedina opened her mouth.

“I’m sorry. But I like it the way it is right now.”

“…I see. I’m sorry. “I guess I bothered you for no reason.”

“Oh no.”

Sedina bowed her head in a rare manner showing courtesy to the other person.

As if she felt uncomfortable in this position she immediately made an excuse to Ludger that she had not finished organizing the materials and hurried into the teaching assistant’s room.

“this. “I guess I hate you.”

Vierano muttered in a voice filled with regret as he saw Sedina leaving the scene as if running away.

“I’m not doing it because I’m hateful but because I’m embarrassed.”

“I’m glad that happened.”

“It’s more surprising than that. “I heard that Mr. Vierano was interested in Assistant Professor Sedina.”

“Are you surprised by my actions?”

“To be honest yes.”

Vierano scratched his cheek in embarrassment.

“It wouldn’t be unreasonable to think so. Because I am fully aware of what kind of elf I am. But I would rather ask Mr. Ludger.”

“What do you mean?”

“Sedina Roshen. “Did you really not know that she was special?”

Ludger had to think for a moment about what the intention of the question was.

I’m not asking if you did it because I found out you were a member of the Black Dawn Society.

Rather it pointed out something else hidden from Sedina.

‘Now that I think about it.’

Sedina seemed to have a lot to hide.

He hates his family and even seems to be related to Julia Plumheart the top first-year student.

I didn’t think it was necessary so I didn’t ask but maybe there was something more?

“Looking at that reaction I guess you didn’t know. “I thought Mr. Ludger recognized Ms. Sedina’s uniqueness and hired her as a teaching assistant.”

“I was selected purely based on ability.”

“okay. Moreover judging by Ms. Sedina’s reaction it seems like she enjoys working with Mr. Ludger.”

Are you having fun?

Ludger was about to refute that it wasn’t to that extent.

First I planned to listen to Vierano’s story.

“So what is it? “What is unique about Assistant Professor Sedina?”

“It’s okay to talk about this in a place where the person is not present.”

Vierano who hesitated a little let out a slightly frustrated sigh.

“If it’s Mr. Ludger it doesn’t matter if he knows. “There must be a good reason for her to trust and follow you.”

Saying it like that sparked interest that wasn’t there before.

Ludger listened to Vierano in silence.

“Have you ever felt strange before? “Why has a child of such outstanding ability remained quiet without any rumors until now?”

“That’s right….”

I wonder if he intentionally hid it because he was a member of the Black Dawn Society.

“Then let me ask something else. “Why do you think Ms. Sedina hides her ears by growing her hair like that?”

“….”

The act of intentionally hiding oneself.

A hostile tendency to hate family.

A point of contact with Vierano an elf.

It felt like the puzzle pieces that had been scattered around in my head were coming together in an instant.

“no way….”

Vierano nodded.

“yes. Sedina Rochen. She has elven blood like me. “To be exact it’s half.”

Sedina Rochen.

Her real identity was half-elf.

* * *

I nodded slowly to Vierano’s explanation.

“That’s amazing.”

“…I don’t think you’re very surprised. “Did you already know this?”

“….”

What are you talking about?

I was really surprised.

To be honest I thought I had the confidence to accept anything that was said but I was a bit surprised to see that she was a half-elf.

Actually Mr. Vierano didn’t seem to believe it very much.

‘But really. If you have elf blood you can understand what Sedina showed.’

A look of shyness towards others or a hair style that covers the ears.

And like paper magic it can even use unusual magic derived from plant properties.

‘Half elf.’

Half-elves are literally a mixture of humans and elves.

Considering Roshen’s last name his father is human and his mother is elf.

However if you ask whether Sedina is the result of their love for each other.

I have no choice but to answer no.

To be honest in this day and age it is difficult to accept the existence of ‘mixed race’ so positively.

“Mr. Vierano is that why you suggested it to Assistant Professor Sedina? “Let’s do it together?”

“yes. She is a being with elf blood like me. “If they were forcibly held somewhere I planned to step in and help them.”

“How do you mean?”

“I was planning on taking her out of House Roshen and showing her where our elves live.”

That’s just as surprising.

No matter how much elven blood flows in your blood you’re trying to bring a mixed race person to an elven village.

Isn’t half of it flowing with human blood?

“You look surprised. I understand. “It’s been a while since the war ended but that’s not the case for long-lived races like elves and beastmen.”

I also nodded.

It has been nearly half a century since science developed and many things appeared in this world.

In fact from the perspective of modern people in the 21st century there are still many human rights issues.

It’s still like that now but the past was even worse.

tribal war.

One of them was the war that took place during the time when races other than humans were enslaved and captured.

It was a long time ago.

Now a long time has passed since the war ended and people do not remember that time.

Because those who could be said to be the main culprits of the war have disappeared.

But is this true for other races as well?

There are still many people who hate humans because they cannot forget the scars of war.

As a result the image of mixed race people cannot be viewed positively.

A war caused by human malice.

What arose as a result of that war was mixed race.

‘Considering that the Roshen family is not a place where good rumors are heard. The birth of Sedina may have been….’

Cross-race slaves.

and the human desire to create better bloodlines.

That alone was enough to guess what happened.

‘This is difficult.’

I couldn’t believe that the child I had as a trainer was a half-elf.

“Mr. Ludger surely knows. “The persecution that mixed race people have suffered throughout history.”

“yes.”

“So I will be shameless and ask Professor Ludger for help. “Would you please persuade Ms. Sedina?”

Vierano is seriously asking for help here.

There is no desire whatsoever in his request.

What exists is pure goodwill towards Sedina.

After thinking about that I came up with an answer.

“I’m sorry but that’s not possible.”
