The Academy’s Undercover Professor – 205

◈ Episode 205 Delica Kingdom (1)
Victor let out a bizarre laugh as he looked at the gun pointed at him.
“Oh Hyo-hyo. This is true. You are a quiet guest. Are you a contract killer or something?”
Ludger did not respond and immediately pulled the trigger.
Sigh!
The magic bullet protruding from the muzzle flew towards Victor between the eyes.
The magic bullet that was flying was blocked by the golden wall that rose in front of Victor’s nose and disappeared.
‘what.’
Ludger narrowed his eyes in the shadows as the wall suddenly appeared.
What was once a wall changed its shape and soon turned into a round sphere.
Just by looking at its appearance it was clearly metal.
However it moved surprisingly flexibly despite being made of metal.
“Oh Hyo-hyo. Isn’t it fascinating? “This is one of my masterpieces.”
Victor showed his teeth towards Ludger and opened his arms wide.
“This is my original Liquid Golem created by combining ‘alchemy’ ‘metal transformation’ and all kinds of magic!”
That’s a golem?
Victor said it was a golem but the sight of it crawling on the floor looked like a pure lump of slime.
The moment I thought that the liquid golem’s body trembled.
Do it yourself!
Countless tentacles shot long towards Ludger.
Ludger immediately tumbled backwards and retreated.
A shower of golden spears struck the spot where he had been standing just a moment ago.
‘It’s fast and has great elasticity. Are you fighting by changing your form at will? ‘If it moves like that without any instructions given by the user it means that it is an autonomous machine.’
Ludger pointed his revolver at Victor as if to keep him in check.
Then as if the liquid golem reacted it created a wall around Victor.
It was as expected.

There is a command system in place to eliminate the master’s enemies and protect the master at the same time.
I was surprised to see something like that after seeing only the dull steam golem.
‘It is said that the scientific power of this world is quite different from when I lived but anyone can see that this is over-technology in today’s world.’
I had no idea just how much scientific power Victor Dreadful had to create something like that.
However considering the existence of Arpa and Betty the abnormal development of science caused by magic may have been an unstoppable trend.
Ludger fired fire magic at the liquid golem as a check.
3rd tier magic [Rumbling Flame].
The wave of flames that burned everything collided head-on with the Liquid Golem.
“It’s no use trying to melt it. “I also made sure it was heat-resistant!”
As Victor said the liquid golem was unharmed despite being hit by the intense heat from the front.
If you look closely you can see magical circuits glowing fiercely along the surface.
This made freezing seem difficult.
‘Does it even have resistance to elements? In that case I guess I should use the standard method.’
If it’s a golem there must be a core core.
Piercing the golem’s heart with a powerful blow was an old tradition for dealing with golems.
Ludger sensed the golem’s magical power.
Even among the countless circuits the presence of the nucleus was vaguely felt.
but.
Ludger realized that it would be difficult to target the nuclear weapon.
‘The position of the nucleus keeps changing.’
Unlike other golems’ cores which were fixed Liquid Golem’s core was constantly moving.
At this point it seemed difficult to aim for that exact thing alone.
At that moment a shadow fell from the ceiling and landed on either side of Ludger.
thud! thud!
The moment my feet touched the ground there was a loud noise and the floor cracked.
The two hooded beings swung their blades at Ludger.
A silver flash flashing in the air.
A very sudden surprise attack.
Ludger’s body was swallowed by the shadows and eventually appeared a little distance away.
After taking his stance Ludger was able to see the figures appearing from the ceiling.
‘Is it an automaton?’
What fell from the ceiling was an automaton in human form.
It was not a complete human shape but was closer to a mannequin that rolled around with mechanical wind-up.
The ivory jointed dolls had long blades on each of their two arms.
“Huh? “It was clearly an unavoidable attack but you dodged it?”
Just as Ludger analyzed Victor Victor also closely examined Ludger’s magic and behavior patterns.
Victor stroked his chin which had grown a goat-like beard.

“Obviously you couldn’t have just moved that distance. High-speed movement? no. There was no room to escape. Nullifies physical attacks? That’s probably not the case. if?!”
Victor shouted spit flying from his mouth.
“All of you! “Could it be that we have surpassed space?!”
“….”
Ludger stared at Victor with hollow eyes.
I noticed the magic here just from seeing it once.
‘I guess it’s because it’s a brain related to science. ‘Your analytical skills and insight are extraordinary.’
Even though he didn’t respond Victor shouted excitedly as if he thought his idea was right.
“What the hell! How on earth did you do that?! Please let me know too! “Please let me know!”
The sight of a middle-aged man shouting like a child throwing a tantrum was quite bizarre.
However despite the lightness of his actions his eyes were alert to immediately detect this magic.
‘If I continue to waste time like this and expose my shortcomings it will be a bother.’
And the two newly appeared automatons were no slouch either.
Even though that amount of weight fell from that height it moved without any problems.
‘Awesome technological power that goes beyond common sense. A keen eye that is contrary to his appearance. And he even has the personality to carry out inhumane experiments without any hesitation.’
First Order Victor Dreadful.
He was a dangerous man.
‘So we remove it from here.’
The shadow surrounding Ludger’s body burned like a flame.
At the same time his body disappeared as if melting into the shadows.
Is it because it disappeared from sight?
The reaction of the Automaton and Liquid Golem stopped albeit momentarily.
“Huh? “Where did you go again?”
Ludger caught Victor’s back as he asked stupidly.
He appeared behind Victor’s back.
Ludger aimed the sword stick he pulled out from the shadows at Victor’s heart.
The moment when I was about to pierce my heart like this.
Suddenly something bright red was aimed at Ludger’s side.
“….”
Ludger gave up stabbing Victor’s heart and pulled back.
If he hadn’t done that his waist would have been cut in two at once.
Ludger stepped back and a new uninvited guest appeared between him and Victor.
“Doctor. “Where do you go with your eyes open?”
The new person who appeared was a man wearing black full plate armor.
Hanging over his shoulder was an obsidian-like greatsword and his red mane was flying on top of his helmet.
The appearance itself was both intimidating and quite stylish.
‘Armor in this day and age?’
The current era is one in which soldiers and knights are unified with uniforms instead of armor.
There was special exoskeleton reinforced armor but it was mainly for industrial use and was not suitable for combat.
This was the first time I had seen someone wear full body armor so openly.
‘Besides that red slash just now.’
It was clearly the trajectory created by swinging the sword.
Not only did he suddenly intervene but he also treated Victor Dreadful lightly.
It didn’t feel good.
“Oh Hyo-hyo. Thank you for saving me. Night Berom! “Thanks to you I survived!”
“It’s noisy. That’s unpleasant. “Why do I stick around to help people like you?”
The man called Berom grumbled in a formal tone but did not take his eyes off Ludger.
The black greatsword on his shoulder was brimming with blood-red energy.
‘That guy. It’s the First Order.’
The newly appeared Black Knight Berom.
Seeing how he treated Victor like that it seemed like Berom was also in the same position.
‘Is there two First Orders in one place?’
Did they realize this attack and join hands?
no. no.
If you listen to Victor’s words he said he didn’t expect an intruder to come.
Rather than a deception directed at this side it would be closer to a side that the two encountered purely by chance when they were walking together.
If I had to be honest I was unlucky.
‘I thought one First Order might come but I never thought of two.’
Moreover looking at Berom’s behavior he seemed to be quite a close combat specialist.
Moreover no matter how you look at it the bloody slash he used is not something that an ordinary knight can use.
‘I’m not an Auror. Special abilities or constitution. Or is there something else?’
What I just saw couldn’t have been all of him.
There was insufficient information.
To fight with that in mind the risk we had to take was too great.
‘I can’t help it. It’s dangerous to fight any longer. ‘I’m leaving here now.’
Berom noticed this and his red eyes glowed from inside his helmet.
“Are you trying to run away now? “I commend your guts for thinking of running away from me.”
An old-fashioned way of speaking that doesn’t fit even in today’s world.
But despite his tone his power was real.
A stream of blood began to form on the great sword Berom held with both hands.
Unlike the haze-like aura it has a sharp swirling form.
It was fundamentally different from the aurors used by knights.
It was shot in a crescent shape following the trajectory of Berom swinging his sword.
‘To a long distance?’
Ludger immediately jumped through space through the shadows.
A red slash violently swept past the spot where he had been standing a moment ago.
Seeing everything being swept away the power alone was outstanding.
“He is fast and agile.”
Berom muttered that and swung his sword a few more times.
Each time a red crescent moon shot across space.
Kwakagagak!
Steel structures were cut down. Cut and torn debris crashed and flew in all directions.
Unable to withstand the force of the slash the outer wall of the factory collapsed.
The factory which had been in danger from the beginning began to shake as if it would collapse.
“Ahh! Night Berom! What are you doing! “How many important facilities are there here? Are you planning to destroy them all?”
“Be quiet. “It’s a place that has to be disposed of anyway.”
“But you still have to take care of what you need! “There are also some experimental materials that I haven’t yet collected!”
“Experimental data? “Are you referring to that bag that the black man is carrying right now?”
“yes?”
At Verom’s point Victor opened his eyes wide and stared at Ludger beyond the goggles.
Ludger leaps through space and appears far away.
There was a briefcase in his hand.
“That one! That one! When did that happen?! Night Berom! We have to stop it! “That’s experimental data like my blood!”
“Why does the author have that important thing?”
“I don’t know that! “It was carefully stored in a safe!”
“…You raided the safe and took the materials in that short period of time?”
As the eyes of the two First Orders turned towards this direction Ludger decided that he should quickly retreat.
At that time Berom jumped from his seat and rushed towards Ludger.
“I won’t miss it!”
A great sword wielded with the sole intention of catching it this time.
At that moment light exploded from within the shadow surrounding Ludger’s body.
The light bursting out like an explosion brightly illuminated the inside of the factory and Berom who thought he would avoid it had no choice but to cover his eyes with his hand.
“What is this!”
Thing!
At the same time his whole body sensed danger.
The black armor he was wearing trembled warning that something was coming.
Berom stopped swinging his sword and slammed it into the ground.
Then a swirling blood-red energy rose up and surrounded his body.
Victor also sensed the crisis.
The liquid golem wrapped his body like a cocoon and two automatons stood in front of it as if guarding it.
────!!!
Immediately afterwards pure white flames engulfed the surrounding area in an instant.
* * *
A place far away from the factory engulfed in flames.
Ludger who was standing on the roof of the building and watching the scene released the [Ather Nocturnus] surrounding his body.
As I immediately poured the magic potion I had prepared into my mouth I thought about the fight a little while ago.
‘It would be nice if he died in the attack a little while ago but that would be too greedy.’
What I activated by squeezing out the last of my magical power was Ludger’s original magic the Tree of Sephiroth.
Among them he was the 8th Sephira HOD.
Borrowing the power of the fire angel Michael this is a high-fire magic that creates a huge firestorm with light and blows up the surrounding area.
It was also the magic used to blow up the entire plant when dealing with the Bug Brothers in Lederbelk.
The sun-like flame that arises after the pure white brilliance erupts burns whoever the opponent is.
However this time it was deployed so quickly that not even half of its original power was released.
‘They both noticed my attack at the end and went on defense.’
Considering the First Order’s capabilities it would not have been able to inflict any significant damage.
It was a pity that I couldn’t kill him but since I had achieved my original purpose I decided to leave.
Anyway the other party doesn’t know our identity.
On the other hand this side learned information about one more person from the First Order so that alone was an income.
‘And the result of this experiment.’
Ludger glanced over the experimental materials he had brought with him.
While avoiding Beom’s slash I went into the place where Moloch came out and took it out but in reality it was closer to something I just picked up.
Was I lucky?
The data I gathered in a hurry was surprisingly accurate.
‘A report on human experiments to express the power of beasts in human genes.’
The cause of the werewolf crisis that occurred in Lederbelk.
I wasn’t too surprised because I already knew that.
What was important was the next data.
‘Development of special gunpowder that is not affected by the silence of fire.’
As someone who knew who used that special gunpowder it was bound to be a headache.
It is now used by terrorists called the Liberation Army.
Because something similar to this existed before.
‘3 years ago. A secret experiment being conducted in the Kingdom of Delica.’
An automaton unit to create a gunpowder and iron army that is not affected by magic.
The moment I looked at the data obtained through today’s raid and the automaton that Victor Dreadful was handling the puzzle came together.
3 years ago.
That the Black Dawn was involved in what happened in the Kingdom of Delica.
