The Academy’s Undercover Professor – 197



◈ Episode 197 Return to the starting point (2)

The members including Hans felt it again.

Ludger’s sincerity.

The true face of the leader who was always thought to act cool-headed and rational.

He also had emotions and spark.

It exploded and spread creating the current organization.

“Brother are you really okay with that? No matter how big we become if the empire moves…”

“The empire does not move. What we have to worry about are Seorn and the Black Dawn.”

“If your identity is discovered won’t you be hanged?”

“It would be like that if you got caught when there was nothing.”

However the law is not always right and noble.

Law is a patent for those who have it.

If this side has status and money the law will always be on their side.

“If this one gets bigger there is no need to force it out. They will try to compromise and make a deal. Just as the Silver Sun survives in this city.”

Why did an organization like Silver Sun still survive in Lederbelk?

That’s because the city tolerated it.

What constitutes a nation is not an idea.

Countless elements big and small.

The country is made up of machine springs of various sizes interlocking and rolling while making the sound of metal parts.

However this mechanical spring does not move according to human will.

Sometimes it recoils and sometimes it doesn’t move.

There are mainsprings that do not fit together even if they die.

“Let’s say the empire is against us and wants to get rid of me. The crime would be identity impersonation. Then who enforces it?”

Sedina answered.

“The most basic thing would be the police.”

“But the police can’t touch me now. “Then what happens next?”

“It must be the Nightcrawler Knights of the Intelligence Bureau.”

Ludger nodded at Hans’ words.

“But the Knights of Nightcrawler stopped by the slums and returned without any results. That’s what they felt too. You shouldn’t touch us carelessly. Now then who’s next?”

“Are you sure you’re going to the imperial palace?”

“Even if the imperial family tries to make a move the nobles will not just agree. “Because whenever a large person moves there is constant noise around him.”

If everyone in the world was just they would all join together and try to kill Ludger.

The law must have been thoroughly enforced and justice served.

But unfortunately there are many more unjust people in the world.

“Someone wants to keep the imperial family in check. Some just because they hate them. And someone else wants to get something from us.”

All kinds of different reasons.

The giant gears will not want to engage with each other and naturally a ‘space’ is created in the gap.

That gap will become a home of rest for them.

“It’s the same for Seorn.”

The most powerful person in Ceorn is President Elisa Willow.

However that does not mean that she wields omnipotent power within Seon.

This is because the realm of politics comes into play here too.

“Politics means holding hands with a smile even if it’s someone you hate if it benefits you. The president also knows it well. “In the first place I didn’t get there just because of my magic skills.”

At that time Arpa who had been listening quietly raised his hand.

“Say it. “Arpa.”

“Well when you say that it makes it sound like President Seorun is suspicious of the captain? “Am I mistaken?”

“Huh? Come to think of it.”

Everyone recalled what they had missed in Arpa’s question.

“Yes that’s right. “The president is suspicious of me.”

Hans asked embarrassed by Ludger’s shocking words.

“Oh no wait a minute. “Why on earth is the president?”

After saying that Hans realized that he had asked a stupid question.

Looking at Ludger’s actions so far it’s surprising that he doesn’t know.

In fact I probably wouldn’t have had much doubt before.

I guess I’ve put aside any doubts I had.

The most likely reason is the last day of Seorn’s festival <Magic Festival>.

This happened while fighting with the First Order Esmeralda.

“So even though he knew…?”

“Hans. Didn’t I tell you? “That’s what politics is all about.”

* * *

A new report came to Elisa who was working in the president’s office.

It was said that Ludger has been frequently using leather velcro recently.

“Hmm. “You’re moving around a lot these days.”

Join our discord and ping me to update more chapters. Discord: https://discord.gg/93rmBjgP6B

I’ve been meaning to personally use this as a sword for a long time but you’re walking around like this.

So I have no choice but to be even more suspicious and keep it by my side.

‘Of course I’m not sure if this will be okay.’

No matter how you look at the fight that took place in the warehouse on the last day of the festival there were many strange parts.

no. To be precise it would be correct to say that the flow is strangely natural.

From there doubts that had been put aside arose again and were rekindled through a conversation with Casey Selmore.

‘Crolophebius. The Great Fire of Roteng. Fire giant. The Black Dawn suddenly arose.’

And Ludger Chelsea stands at the center of the incident.

Now it would be a lie to say that that man had nothing to do with the incident.

And there was another key piece of evidence.

Casey Selmore seemed to have gained nothing from interrogating the remnants of the Black Dawn but Elisa was different.

She is the owner of the magical eye.

No matter how mentally strong the remnants of the Black Dawn are the moment they meet her eyes everything becomes meaningless.

‘That’s right the opponent is a throwaway loser and a bastard. There was nothing much to be gained.’

But one thing is certain: their remnants still remain in Seorn.

And maybe Ludger might also have something to do with it.

So is Ludger her enemy who joined hands with them?

‘no. ‘That’s not it.’

What made you suspect Ludger in the first place and then give up your suspicions?

‘Mr. Ludger is so capable.’

If he had not revealed his skills and acted like a teacher of some kind people would not have easily suspected him.

The moment her suspicions were lifted she would have turned around and captured him in some way killing him or interrogating him.

However Ludger’s actions show the opposite.

He revealed his new magic and taught his students with sincerity.

There were still more cards to hide but that didn’t mean he completely hid his skills.

A choice no spy hiding here would make.

Conversely we certainly cannot rule out the possibility that they were digging in to target that area.

The likelihood of that happening was significantly low.

No in fact it would have been good even if it converged to 0.

‘I don’t know anything else but I would never have done anything to protect the students.’

The most memorable situation would have to be confronting Duke Lumos.

His appearance like a strong barrier standing in front of a frightened Flora.

The moment Elisha saw that scene he realized.

Ludger Chelsea is the one who hid his identity.

According to imperial law he is a criminal.

But what’s wrong with that?

He was a good person at least as far as she could tell.

Even his skills and judgment are extraordinary.

There are such outstanding and useful people.

‘If you don’t handle it properly it’s actually a loss right?’

She is not the one to be taken away.

I’m not the type to get scared and hit my opponent first before being taken away.

just.

The one who takes it first before it gets taken away.

* * *

Ludger said looking out the window in the direction where Seorn was.

“In the end we all use each other.”

“No way brother he was aiming for this on purpose….”

If Ludger had tried to conceal his skills and identity he would have been shackled without any leniency if he was caught in the future.

However if you show off your skills and appear as an attractive person to the other person.

It can make something that hides its identity be dismissed as ‘something like that’.

Moral defect?

People with ability are not limited by such things.

Because he had achieved too much to just imprison him by impersonating his identity.

“Actually I have no intention of antagonizing Seorn so if you look at my intentions I agree with the president.”

It is true that the president holds the sword.

Because this side clearly has the weakness of being a fake in terms of identity.

But even if you are the president you cannot wield it arbitrarily.

There are restrictions for her too.

Hugo Brutegue and his factions.

They are Ludger’s enemies and at the same time a breakwater that suppresses the president’s power.

“Then what about the Black Dawn? “Is that okay?”

“Is that possible?”

If it was a situation that was comfortable like that I didn’t even think about it.

“No matter how much I concocted a lie on the spot Zero Order would have felt strange unless he was an idiot.”

“But why…?”

“Why did you withdraw without saying anything then?”

Ludger took out the ring that Zero Order had given him and rolled it on his finger.

“I don’t know why.”

He is a man whose identity was not clear to begin with.

I don’t know what I’m trying to do because I don’t really feel the purpose or will.

That person seemed somewhat convinced by what we said and walked away.

He stepped down.

Why?

“Maybe he felt something from me too. Or maybe he decided that he could get something from me.”

“I’m so dizzy. This is why anything that involves politics becomes tiring. “Everyone is out of their minds.”

Hans shook his head as if he was disgusted.

That doesn’t mean I have a one-dimensional view that I hate something if I don’t like it and I like it if I like it.

Because as you live you realize that sometimes you have to force yourself to smile even if you don’t want to smile.

But this is a different case.

He deceived himself and tried to take advantage of an unknown person just because he was competent.

In a situation where you don’t know whether it will be a time bomb or benefit yourself?

Everyone is insane.

“okay. You’re not crazy. “If you’re not in your right mind you can’t do something like this.”

Of course they said this but the fact that Zero Order’s actions were unpredictable was a huge factor of anxiety for them as well.

Although it is possible to read the President’s will Zero Order is someone whose everything is shrouded in mystery.

For what purpose did you go over that day?

And did they hand over an invitation to the executive meeting?

I don’t know yet.

So I have no choice but to figure it out little by little.

“This is the end of today’s story.”

Ludger said that and left saying he would be away for a while.

* * *

When Ludger left and everyone was quiet Sedina spoke.

“By the way teacher… what kind of person are you exactly?”

“Huh? “Didn’t Nari tell you?”

“yes. “I said you would figure it out on your own.”

“Why are you speaking so loudly? Take it easy! Take it easy! “You and I look like the same age!”

“What can you do with a subject over 30 years old…?”

Hans said as if it were revenge for what happened a little while ago.

Sheridan got angry at those words and shouted.

“hey! “I’m a dwarf so in human years I’m in my prime!”

“Oh I guess so~.”

“Do you want to fight? yes?!”

While the two were bickering Bella Luna said.

“They say the two leaders come from great families. But they said that because he was a bastard he was hiding like this because his life was threatened.”

“ah. “I see.”

A person who was born into a good family but was not recognized.

Isn’t it just like yourself?

Sedina even felt strangely grateful that there were similarities.

Maybe the teacher helped me because of that situation?

“What are you talking about? And there you are. Don’t be too curious about your brother’s affairs. “You don’t want to delve into other people’s secrets.”

Even though he said that there was a strong undertone that ‘I’m not the kind of person who would dare to be curious about something like you.’

Sedina’s shoulders shrank at those words.

Sheridan stepped forward.

“wait for a sec. Hans. Aren’t you saying too much a little while ago? “I won’t give you a warm welcome!”

“What am I?”

“Be honest. Are you actually anxious because you think your position is being threatened? You’re jealous! That’s right. “You’re jealous.”

“What is that!”

Hans who had hit the nail on the head shouted loudly.

“Who would be jealous of a kid like that!”

“You’re lying! “You’re jealous!”

“No!”

“That’s right!”

“…It’s not some kind of kids fight.”

Violetta who could not see the two fighting looked fed up.

At that time Sedina opened her mouth.

“excuse me. “You said Mr. Hans right?”

“The code name is <Kafka>. “My brother built it himself.”

Seeing Hans suddenly introduce the code name Sedina’s words rose up in her throat ‘Do you really want to win over that girl?’

But Hans didn’t care about the people around him at all.

“A guy who comes from a good family and has the talent to enter Seorun why did he end up here?”

“….”

Sedina could not bear to refute those words.

From the outside world’s perspective it is true that Sedina was born in a blessed environment.

-What is that guy?

-They say he is a child of the Roshen family.

-her. Why a child from a wealthy family?

A look of contempt received from the Black Dawn.

Hostility towards those who are different from oneself.

It shouldn’t have happened but Sedina was familiar with this situation.

“sorry.”

Sedina apologized honestly.

Even if she said this to the Black Dawn Society they only cursed at her or ignored her.

Still this was all I knew how to do.

“I don’t even know the topic… I’m being picky.”

Hans was rather embarrassed as his voice became wet.

“Uh huh? “I didn’t mean to say that much.”

“hey! Hans! What are you going to do! “He’s about to cry!”

“Oh no I was just asking because I was really curious.”

I never thought it would turn out like this just because a little boy came next to my brother and threatened him.

Hans hurriedly comforted Sedina.

“Wh…what is it? So so huh? Don’t feel uncomfortable. “You too will be able to receive a code name someday.”

“Are you calling that comforting now? “You idiot!”

Sheridan delivered a double side kick to Hans’ face.

Seeing that Sedina’s tight heart seemed to loosen up.

‘It’s fascinating.’

It is quite different from the Black Dawn.

There if you made a minor mistake you would receive a lot of verbal abuse and abuse but there was none of that here.

The executives even get along comfortably like friends they have known for a long time.

Although I was secretly envious of that I also felt strangely relieved that I could be with the people here.

“Sedina. You’re okay right? “Do you want me to spank Hans some more?”

“Thank you for your concern. But I’m really okay. “I may seem unreliable to senior Hans but I will do my best not to put pressure on him.”

“uh? uh.”

Hans shyly scratched the back of his head probably feeling ashamed of himself for losing his temper for no reason.

Hans asked trying to change the subject.

“You said you worked with paper right?”

“yes. Manipulate paper with magic. And it is also possible to blow up this paper and look around.”

“So does it feel like we are collecting data at the same time by distributing all the paper at once?”

“Oh no. That’s not it. “To be exact we are scouting by assimilating our consciousness to the paper I sent out but right now the maximum is one.”

“Is that so?”

Hans was internally relieved at those words.

Although he thought Sedina’s abilities were superior to his own it clearly had limitations.

I guess I can just get over this at this level right?

“Heh. “Just try hard.”

“Oh yes.”

“ah. By the way I can also talk to mice.”

“….”

Sedina didn’t know how to react to those words so she said ‘Ah yes.’ I had no choice but to nod.

Colleagues who were watching the scene sighed and shook their heads.

“I was so excited that my junior joined me. I was so excited.”
