The Academy’s Undercover Professor – 216



◈ Episode 216 Order Synod (3)

“John Doe. “You were a little harsh too.”

Leslie who mediated the situation also scolded Ludger.

“No matter how much of a hindrance it is you kill subordinates who are like your colleagues. “You said you were the one who made the mistake first but you always take your hands too far.”

Despite what she said Leslie honestly felt good.

‘Seeing Nikolai suffer I feel like everything I’ve built up is disappearing.’

Nikolai who is prone to showing off himself had often clashed with Leslie in the past.

Unlike the serious and serious Leslie the light-hearted Nikolai was more of a polar opposite than oil and water.

If it weren’t for someone who also serves Zero Order he wouldn’t be the first to change and drink.

That guy messed with John Doe today and got himself into trouble.

Is there anything more exhilarating than this?

John Doe killed his men?

That was none of my business in the first place. What does it matter if many of those who are of no help to Zero Order die?

‘Nikolai guy. He was jealous of John Doe who was always favored by Zero Order and it ended up like this.’

Looking at Nikolai who was still shaking and shivering I thought that he would probably be digesting food and sleeping well for the next week.

‘It’s more surprising than that.’

John Doe was more than he thought.

I already knew that he had a temperamental personality but what he saw today was far beyond his imagination.

‘A crazy dog ​​that bites so hard that pieces of flesh fall off. That was all I had.’

A pet dog that only follows orders from Zero Order.

A psychopath who will point a knife at his co-workers when he is in trouble.

That’s what John Doe was all about.

‘Because of his excessively violent personality there were many times when I wondered why a guy like that was a member of the First Order.’

John Doe was a member of the First Order who specialized in disguise and infiltration so his actual combat power was unknown.

This is because they operate so secretly that very little information has been revealed.

So there was a difference of opinion among the First Order about his qualifications.

‘Plus the benefits were excessive compared to the position I was given.’

John Doe even killed members of the Black Dawn.

Other First Orders also had the power to punish unusable people and traitors but John Doe’s case was particularly severe.

Nevertheless Zero Order did not blame or rebuke John Doe.

Where is that?

I have never once said anything harsh to him.

‘I never knew until now what on earth Zero Order was thinking of keeping John Doe in the First Order.’

Today I finally felt like I knew why.

And I once again felt respect for Zero Order.

‘He knew everything.’

Zero Order is a person so superior that even he cannot be compared to them.

The reason he acted like that was because he had a certain meaning.

In fact John Doe’s hidden skills have now been proven.

Not only did he know something that Nikolai did not know but he also moved so secretly that he could not be observed by the same First Order.

Today a particularly unexpected aspect stood out.

Although my personality is still dirty.

‘In particular he said he erased Lederbelk’s laboratory with his own hands. There’s probably no lie in that.’

In fact the Lederbelk branch has completely disappeared.

Considering John Doe’s past actions he would have moved alone without any subordinates.

‘There must have been several troops and a warlock inside but he eliminated them with his own hands.’

It meant that John Doe’s combat power which had not yet been revealed surpassed his predictions.

‘I don’t necessarily want to pretend but I have to be careful.’

Even though they belong to the same Dawning Society the First Order does not have a good relationship with each other.

Rather it is safe to say that they consider each other competitors.

“John Doe.”

When Leslie called his name John Doe’s eyes turned in this direction.

It was still an inorganic gaze without the slightest hint of camaraderie.

That was the same for both Leslie and I so we didn’t pay attention and asked what we were curious about.

“You have admitted with your own mouth that you did what happened to Lederbelk so I will assume so. “Then perhaps Baltanung was also your work?”

“I don’t even know about that. “In the first place the only one I judged was Lederbelk.”

Ludger remained ignorant of Baltanung.

Lederbelk had a cause but Baltanung did not.

“I see.”

“But there are those who can guess.”

Instead I planned to turn the arrow in the other direction.

Leslie’s ears perked up at those words.

“Is there anyone who can guess?”

“According to the information I received.”

“Isn’t that something that even Nikolai doesn’t know?”

I felt Nikolai who had been quiet flinch at those words.

Leslie felt relieved by that but waited for John Doe’s answer.

“A lot of dangerous guys have gathered in Lederbelk recently. “Nightcrawler Knight Commander Terri or Lion Howl are representative examples.”

“Well she’s keeping a close eye on our movements too.”

“But there are others who are just as wary as those who protect the country.”

“Who on earth is that?”

“Casey Selmore.”

When that name was mentioned Leslie let out a sigh.

The reactions of other First Orders were similar.

“Isn’t Casey Selmore a mysterious wizard? “No I’m sure if it’s not someone with the same name.”

“I heard the name too. “I heard you’re the detective who took down the infamous James Moriarty?”

Victor who had been listening quietly opened his mouth.

“But the person we fought was wearing a black shadow?”

“You know one you don’t know two. Victor. “When you visited that factory area wasn’t there a sea of ​​water around it?”

“I did.”

Instead it was Berom who answered.

“I guess that’s why I said there was water everywhere.”

“So that means the dark shadow raider is related to Casey Selmore! They might even be in a cooperative relationship! Oh Hyo-hyo!”

Ludger nodded and said.

“okay. “That woman bit the tail of this meeting.”

“That sure is a nuisance.”

If an insignificant guy had stepped on my tail I would have just ignored it.

The wizard with the title of color was too big to ignore.

Besides Casey the Selmore family has another wizard who received a title of a different color.

In many ways it was not a good thing for someone like this to recognize this side.

Nikolai didn’t seem to know either.

If he had known about this he would have been the first to make a fuss.

John Doe said that so calmly.

‘John Doe knows more things than Nikolai.’

indeed. Was this the reason Zero Order left him in the First Order?

‘It’s more surprising than that. I can’t believe you’ve been hiding this level of skill until now. It’s scary.’

Leslie knew better because she worked in a place related to the world of magic.

Ludger Chelsea.

That was the fake identity that John Doe was now using to infiltrate Seorn.

‘He proved his skills in Seorn and even created a magic that caused a stir in academia.’

When I first heard the news I thought it was because of Zero Order’s help rather than my own strength.

But looking at it today it didn’t seem like that was necessarily the case.

‘Why did you stay quiet until now and now stand out? Moreover they say that Seorn’s infiltration was ordered by Zero Order but what about that…’

Leslie couldn’t help but feel confused.

Other First Order members had similar thoughts.

John Doe never expressed any opinions or words during regular meetings.

He was extremely reluctant to reveal himself and did not even attempt to engage in conversation with other First Order members.

He showed an unusually lot today.

Nikolai may have blatantly touched it but there are probably other reasons besides that.

For example trying to solidify one’s rank among the First Order.

Bentmin had the same thoughts as Leslie so she clicked her tongue inwardly.

‘If you were trying to organize the ranks it was a success. Because I took a nice photo of Nikolai in front of everyone. Well I don’t care who wins… But no matter how you look at that guy John Doe he’s annoying.’

Even Victor crouched unable to make eye contact with John Doe.

I’m just happy that this annoying scientist stays quiet.

I couldn’t shake the feeling that instead of a troublesome wolf calming down a huge tiger came in.

“So what do we do with Casey Selmore?”

“As always we have to go as planned.”

“Are you saying we should remove it? “That dark-colored wizard?”

“No matter how good a magician is if he wanders around without a place to live assassination is easy.”

“Oh Hyo-hyo. “I also agree with that.”

The conversation naturally turned to the treatment of Casey Selmore.

The result is to get rid of Casey Selmore.

The fact that she didn’t belong anywhere and moved around alone played a big role.

‘I brought it up first but I’m sure she’ll handle it on her own.’

Ludger felt sorry inwardly but thought it didn’t matter.

With her skills she will survive on her own.

‘If there’s a problem it’s zero order.’

There were many reasons for the unconventional move of eliminating Lederbelk’s secret branch but it was also to gauge the reaction of the Zero Order.

I got rid of a secret branch. How will you react?

However Zero Order did not react in any way to those shocking words.

When even the rest of the First Order were shocked he simply observed the situation with an unchanging attitude.

Are you saying you won’t show any gaps until the end?

“I think the story is over.”

Zero Order who had been watching the situation until now opened his mouth.

“I feel fortunate that everyone seems to be doing their jobs well. Of course there are times when things don’t go as planned.”

Nikolai and Victor trembled at those words.

“What’s important is how well you handle it going forward. So there is no need to be discouraged.”

“…Oh Hyo-hyo. “As expected you are Zero Order.”

“It’s been a while. Today’s meeting will end here. “I wonder if the empty space will be filled the next time we get together.”

Zero Order waved his hand.

It was a sign that the meeting was over.

‘Is something important left unobtained?’

Still there was income.

Because I knew that other First Orders held significant positions in each field and that they were up to something.

“John Doe. “You will stay for a moment.”

The other First Order members overreacted to those words.

There has never been a case where Zero Order called someone separately after a meeting.

Nikolai’s reaction was especially strong.

I felt like the blood in my body was boiling and then evaporating from jealousy.

The mere fact that Zero Order called John Doe proved how much he was loved.

“…yes. All right.”

Even though he received the call there was no tremor of joy in John Doe’s voice.

Instead I was shocked.

‘What is that reaction? ‘Is that normal for you?’

Nikolai barely held back the shout that was about to escape his mouth.

Nikolai hurried out of the meeting room because he felt like he couldn’t bear to stay here any longer.

Although the other First Order members were a little dissatisfied they realized that there was nothing they could do and left one by one.

The only people left at the round table were Zero Order Ludger and Zero Order’s lieutenant.

When Zero Order slightly raised his hand the adjutant bowed his head and stepped back.

With this only two people were left in the room.

“okay. “How was today’s meeting?”

“How are you sleeping? “There was nothing special.”

Even though the words may have seemed arrogant they responded with a smile.

“okay. John Doe. “If that’s you then that’s probably it.”

“….”

Ludger twitched his eyebrows at those words.

‘Even though it’s just the two of us he calls me John Doe.’

How can he maintain this attitude even when faced with an unidentified being who may have killed his subordinate?

‘To Zero Order his subordinates may be nothing more than easy-to-handle tools.’

So even if someone dies it probably doesn’t mean much.

This is also the reason why this side is called John Doe until the end.

Because you are treated as a position not as a person.

Now that the previous John Doe is gone Ludger has become the new John Doe.

Even so you would think of casually calling such an unknown person to an executive meeting.

I really don’t know what’s going on.

‘If there’s one thing I can be sure of it’s that there is absolutely no hostility towards me.’

Maybe he is a more crazy person than you can imagine and is enjoying this situation itself.

In that case we have no choice but to go along with it.

“Is there anything else you want from me?”

“What do you want?”

At those words Zero Order stroked his chin under his mask.

“no. If I had to say it as long as you diligently carry out the mission I instructed nothing else will matter.”

“You mean a mission?”

“okay. I guess I can’t stay in Seorn any longer. There are things to do. So I want you to find it.”

Please find it.

At those words Ludger focused all his attention on Zero Order’s next words.

“A person destined for fate. He exists in Seorn. “I must find that person.”

‘A person destined for fate?’

Ludger shook his head at those words.

‘I’m not just asking you to find your partner. ‘If someone of the Zero Order was able to put the First Order in Seorn then he is that important.’

At that time a person passed by Ludger’s head.

‘no way.’

Maybe it’s a leap maybe it’s too much speculation.

Because a flash of intuition simply produced the result without going through rational judgment.

‘Rine.’

There is only one person that comes to mind in Ludger.

A user of non-attribute magical power.

A diligent child who attends his classes.

And his sin of killing her mother with these hands… and even erasing that memory.

‘Line’s eyes are not yet awakened.’

And there is a tradition that the moment the decision appears it is caught up in a fateful whirlpool.

Others would not believe it thinking it was an old legend but Ludger was different.

‘Perhaps the person Zero Order is looking for may be Linnae.’

Since this was just a leap forward there was a possibility that it wasn’t the case.

However the owner of the decision is convinced that zero order is worth seeking out.

Still just in case let’s ask something else.

“Is there anything that could be called a characteristic?”

“A feature?”

“Knowing even one would help us narrow it down.”

“I can’t say with certainty that this is also a characteristic but if I had to say it… in general that person was a woman. They also say that he sees things that others cannot see.”

Do you see what others cannot see?

The word ‘woman’ reminded me of Line but the word ‘seeing what others cannot see’ reminded me of Flora Lumos.

Flora Lumos smells magic and visually feels magic that others cannot see.

“Does anyone have any guesses?”

“no. “Not yet.”

Ludger answered without hesitation.

“I see. “If you happen to find it later I’d like you to tell me.”

“All right.”

“okay. I’m sorry for holding you back for so long. “Let’s go now.”

Ludger stood up.

After Ludger completely disappeared beyond the stone gate.

Zero Order summoned the adjutant he had left behind for a while.

“Cetadel.”

“yes. “Zero Order.”

“There is somewhere you need to go for a while.”

“yes. “Please order.”

“It’s a bit of a rugged place. Aret Mountains. “I need to go there.”

Aret Mountains located between the Kingdom of Utah and the Exilion Empire.

It was also the place where Ludger and John Doe swapped identities in the past.

“I have someone to look for.”
