The Academy’s Undercover Professor – 2



◈ Episode 2 To the Capital of the Empire (2)

But why did the man in front of me ask me about the existence of Machiavelli?

That’s also the fake identity I was using until recently.

Could it be that he knew it and did it on purpose?

‘What is your intention?’

For a moment I suspected that it was a pursuer sent by the princess faction of the Kingdom of Utah but it didn’t seem like that.

Other than asking Ludger took no action.

Rather his eyes and actions were closer to pure curiosity.

So just a coincidence?

‘The teacher of Seorn….’

Seorn Academy is so famous that word of mouth spreads among people even when they are staying in a far away country.

The fact that such a young man is going to become Seorn’s new teacher means that the person in front of him is a person with great talent.

I didn’t know it when I first saw it but I felt it little by little.

There’s something strange about this person.

But instead of raising my guard I shook my head inwardly.

‘For now let’s just say it’s a coincidence.’

You shouldn’t show off by being stabbed for no reason.

I naturally turned to the next page of the newspaper and accepted his words.

“If such a person had actually existed it would have been in the newspaper.”

“haha. “Well aren’t there things in the world that aren’t easily revealed?”

“That’s interesting. “Can you tell that to someone you just met today?”

“There’s nothing that can’t be done right? And although it’s my first time seeing Gerard today I feel like we kind of agree.”

“I’m grateful that Seorn’s renowned teacher looks favorably on this old man.”

Ludger seemed to have no intention of turning off his interest in me perhaps because the status he maintains now is a good image that will win the favor of others.

It was not good to go quietly without saying a word.

Now that it was like this I decided to respond appropriately.

Still having a companion is not the right thing to do and there is nothing wrong with it.

“Mr. Ludger do you go to class right away when you go to Seorn?”

“Not right away you’ll have to wait.”

“First grade?”

“no. “I am now in charge of the second grade.”

“oh. 2nd grade. Don’t new teachers usually take on first-year students? “You are a greater person than I thought.”

I heard it over my shoulder but although Seorn is a magic academy it has an image closer to a university on Earth.

Did you say that all kinds of buildings are built on a huge site and the number of people who live and work there is in the thousands?

Although it borders a large city Seorn itself is literally a small city so much so that it is even called a city next to the city.

Seorn’s students range from 1st to 5th grade.

Normally children become smarter as they get into higher grades so it would be basic to have skilled teachers take charge of the upper grades and have new teachers take charge of the first graders.

But this time with my new appointment I am in my second year.

I thought he might be quite a great person but it turned out to be much more than that.

‘I guess I didn’t become Seorn’s teacher for nothing.’

A magic academy that teaches magic.

This world has achieved the industrial revolution of iron and steam but what differentiates it from Earth is the presence or absence of magic.

‘I only saw it in fantasy novels.’

The existence of magic was inseparable from this world and naturally such magic was always the exclusive property of the chosen.

Because if you can’t handle magic you can’t use magic.

but.

Unlike in the past when only nobles of noble blood could use magic these days the view of skill supremacy where even commoners can learn magic if they have talent is on the rise.

Seorn is the number one magic academy that you can enter if you have the right skills.

‘I’m curious about this. ‘What kind of place is this?’

Usually when I think of a magic academy I who lived on Earth can’t help but think of a famous work.

Students fly on broomsticks and use magic with wooden wands…

Perhaps children who saw it through movies or books in their childhood had dreams of a magic school like this.

A magic school.

Where else can there be a romance like this?

Such a thing actually exists in this world.

Students learning magic and enjoying youth.

‘Youth…is it?’

In my previous life my father passed away early so I didn’t have time to enjoy things like that.

Out of a sense of duty to support my family I studied like crazy and suffered from a compulsion to succeed.

My current life my second was not much different from my previous life.

No in fact it was even worse.

There is a reason why I am walking around hiding my identity like I am right now.

‘It would be a thief to want something like that now.’

It’s been 27 years since I was born in this world and live again.

I was no longer walking down a path that was far from being a burning youth and all.

The magic academy and all that is just a story from another world.

The same goes for the man in front of me named Ludger who is closely related to it.

I who lives with a false identity and hide my identity and that man standing on the shining stage called Seorn are very different.

Still since he became Seorn’s teacher at a young age I should congratulate him sincerely.

‘They say it’s a fallen aristocracy.’

There still remains a class society in this world. And nobles are naturally those who belong to the top of such a class society.

However there are people who have been in that position and have fallen to the abyss.

They rebelled against the state were hated by higher-ups or owed a huge amount of money.

Anyway nobles who fell to the abyss for various reasons.

Fallen nobleman.

Considering that fallen nobles are despised by their fellow nobles more than commoners the man in front of us named Ludger must have worked really hard to become Seorn’s teacher.

While I was thinking that I felt a strange presence outside.

‘what?’

As I glanced out the window I couldn’t help but feel a strange sense of anxiety.

The airflow is strange.

To be exact the air is heavy.

As if something was going to happen.

“Why are you doing that?”

Ludger seemed puzzled by my reaction and asked.

I didn’t answer but tensed my senses.

…something is coming.

“Something now….”

It was the moment when Ludger was about to open his mouth.

──────!!!

A powerful shock accompanied by a huge explosion violently shook the magic engineering train.

The cabin of the train shook and the train running on the tracks lurched sideways.

I held on tightly to the chair handle to keep my body balanced.

“What is this…? “Has the engine exploded?”

Ludger muttered that question but I shook my head as if I didn’t know.

It doesn’t look like the engine blew.

There is no way that one engine going out could cause an impact that would shake the entire train.

Moreover when it comes to safety there is no way the engine of a magic engineering locomotive could explode.

There is something. Why is this explosion bound to happen?

───!

As if my anxious imagination was correct a thumping sound came from the ceiling of the train and something began to run around busily.

At the same time a loud noise was heard from the lead vehicle.

The sound of something breaking and people screaming. I realized this is exactly how it happened.

“It’s an attack.”

“Raid? On this train?”

“Most of the customers on the Magic Engineering Train are wealthy merchants or nobles. “It must have been the work of robbers from the northern mountains targeting that.”

Most of the customers who ride this expensive magic locomotive are wealthy people. Naturally there were many people targeting the money they had and robber attacks targeting trains occurred occasionally.

‘Even so they can’t believe they’re doing something like this on the border heading to the empire.’

The people who attacked just now are not normal by any means.

The liver was so large that it was so swollen that it bulged out.

‘The explosion that shook the train a little while ago. I don’t think it’s ordinary power.’

I narrowed my eyes because I had a guess.

‘Is it magic?’

There is a wizard among the raiders.

If there was a wizard involved it would be worth taking on such a bold act.

If you use the wizard’s power to quickly escape and escape you will be able to hide safely in the rugged northern Aret Mountains. It will be difficult even from a chasing standpoint.

If they were targeting that part they were most likely not ordinary robbers.

There’s no way these big guys who had a wizard with this much firepower and attacked a train carrying nobles were ordinary in the first place.

Since this is a world where magic exists there are people who do bad things with magic.

“Mr Ludger. “I think we need to hide or take refuge first.”

Ludger also nodded at my words.

Ludger packed his bags. Are you trying to pack your bags in this situation? It looks like there’s something important inside.

I was in no position to worry about others so I got up. It was Ludger who took the lead first.

“Just in case I’ll stand in front.”

“yes.”

First of all my status is a commoner in his 40s who has a lot of money.

This guy who became an academy teacher in his mid-20s must be a better fighter.

Ludger took out a small wooden staff in his right hand held it and raised his guard.

The two of us opened the cabin door and looked at the activity in the hallway of car number 4.

There are no people in sight yet. The guests also seemed to be waiting quietly in the safety of their rooms for now.

‘It’s the wrong choice.’

It is said that these rooms themselves are protected by magic but the robbers who attacked now are not ordinary guys. In this situation sitting still in the guest room is no different from sticking out your neck to get me.

In times like this it’s best to get as far away from them as possible.

‘Even so the people who entered vehicle number 3 haven’t entered here yet.’

I thought they would immediately disperse and extort money from customers but that’s not true right?

Or they might be targeting the number 1 vehicle in front of them.

Car No. 1 is a first class car where nobles stay.

Although it was a special room that was strictly protected to put it another way it was the golden egg with the most money.

‘I’m rather glad.’

All we have to do is step back while attention is drawn to vehicle number one.

Of course this magic engineering train is equipped to prepare for unexpected attacks and send a rescue signal in case of an emergency.

Reinforcement troops will probably arrive soon.

I just have to hold on until then.

Cheer up!

At that moment a man broke in and broke the hallway window.

The snow that had not yet been shaken off was falling from his shoulders and he seemed to have sensed our presence so he turned his head and glared in our direction.

The eyes were full of bloodshot eyes.

‘It’s a brutal impression. ‘Have you taken any medicine?’

The sight dripping with hatred and anger seemed to be something completely different rather than a robbery.

Was I being overcome by evil while waiting for the train in this cold?

“Wow!”

But before I could express my curiosity he spotted us and started yelling.

At the same time Ludger’s magic was revealed.

A technique in which magical energy is engraved like a thread on the front of the staff.

The magic technique engraved as if drawing a three-dimensional picture in the air soon sublimated into magic.

Puzzle!

A blue flash of lightning seemed to form and a ray of light pierced the intruder’s chest.

“Aaaah!”

The robber who was running towards us fell to the floor his body shaking.

I looked at Ludger and asked.

“Did you kill him?”

“no. “I just suppressed it.”

After answering that Ludger slowly approached the fallen robber with a cautious look on his face.

Keep pointing the cane.

“wait a minute. Mr. Ludger. “It’s dangerous.”

“it’s okay. “We’re only going to have a light interrogation about what purpose the train was attacked for.”

“No I mean….”

I tried to say something more but Ludger didn’t listen and moved.

He pushed the robber who was on the floor with his foot so that he was facing upward.

“say. “For what purpose did they attack this train?”

“Keuuk. Kick. “Kikikik.”

“Do you laugh in this situation…?”

“Everyone must die.”

What is contained in that voice that is heard shakily is a madness so cold that it makes your skin tremble.

Even though his body was twitching and blood was bleeding from his nose the robber laughed.

At the same time the top he had wrapped tightly was undone revealing the items he had hidden inside.

It was a huge bomb.

“…!”

Ludger seeing this widens his eyes before activating his magic.

The robber pressed the detonator he was holding in his hand as if he had prepared it in advance.

Kwaaaaang!

A huge explosion swept away Car No. 4.
