The Academy’s Undercover Professor – 226
by Jessie@AFNCC
◈ Episode 226 Arcane Chamber (2)
The audience was quiet.
The wizards who questioned Ludger’s research results also closed their mouths as if they had never done so before.
The atmosphere at the scene returned to the beginning.
‘Anyway they seem like people with no pride.’
Casey who was watching the scene clicked his tongue inwardly at the sight of the wizards changing their attitude like flipping their palms.
It was like the guys who were suspicious of Ludger just a moment ago were suddenly talking about how they believed in him and how they knew this would happen.
‘With such detailed research results how can it be seen as stealing from others?’
It was an idea I could do because I knew firsthand how smart Ludger was when he was James Moriarty.
Through Ludger’s memories Casey observed that he was doing a lot of research in the areas of mathematics and science even before he was called Professor Moriarty in the Kingdom of Delica.
Naturally I could not help but think that the interpretation of ancient languages that has been released today is also the result of his work.
If nothing else that man never cheats when it comes to academic knowledge.
The difference in information created a gap between other wizards and Casey.
‘But when did that human learn the ancient language?’
Casey’s pride was hurt.
I became impatient because the person I thought of as a kind of competitor kept showing me things.
Considering that I have no intention of agreeing with Dantes’ opinion but that doesn’t mean I don’t completely understand his thoughts.
‘If anyone shows great performance in one field they are bound to be weak in other fields.’
If you can do everything well in the first place why would each person major in a different field?
There are different paths to learning and magic and it is difficult for ordinary people to choose one path and rise to a high position there.
‘But that person did it so easily.’
The wizards gathered here will not know.
However Ludger created the [source code] and interpreted this ancient language.
Because he is someone who has already left more traces in the past.
Rather because Casey knew that he was able to accept and accept the research results that Ludger was now presenting.
‘Ah really. ‘I shouldn’t admit this.’

In the end Ludger was a criminal who hid his identity and caused trouble under several aliases.
The name that people are seeing now Ludger Chelisi is also a pseudonym.
Fake identity. Fake name.
Everything about him is shrouded in veil and everything he sees is a lie.
The only thing that is real is its exquisite beauty that can only be admired.
‘No but the more I look at it the less I understand it. If you have that level of skill wouldn’t you be able to live proudly anywhere you go?’
Although he didn’t want to admit it Ludger was closer to being a genius than he was.
Although he is gifted with the talent for reasoning and analysis Ludger cannot count on one hand the number of fields he has mastered so far.
If you are this extraordinary you will be recognized wherever you go and there will be no need to hide your identity in a dangerous way.
If I were to be honest it seemed like I could make a living with just my face.
Nevertheless he is hiding his identity.
Why?
‘Is there a reason why I shouldn’t be caught? ‘Then what is the reason?’
If Ludger had been an average person it would have been difficult to understand. Because there are too many cases.
However if a man of that caliber tries to hide his identity then he can ignore all the absurd moves.
‘I’m hiding my identity but I’m not hiding my abilities. Because he is so outstanding like an awl in his pocket he has no choice but to stand out no matter what he does.’
Ludger also didn’t bother to hide his power.
‘What is the reason for someone like that to keep hiding his identity? It’s not arbitrary. We have no choice but to hide it because of external factors. And usually in those cases it’s dangerous if your identity is discovered.’
Casey’s unconsciousness expanded greatly and he began to make inferences.
Ludger is a person with natural charisma outstanding looks and noble elegance.
If such a person is hiding his identity there is only one case that comes to mind first.
‘At least a nobleman somewhere. But it is an unwelcome presence. Was he the child of a concubine? Then when my life was threatened I ran away.’
However if he ran away that would be the end of it but he stubbornly hid his identity.
‘It’s because there are people coming to kill or capture you the moment your identity is revealed. Otherwise there’s no way you can keep changing your status.’
If so it means that Ludger was not born into an ordinary noble family.
If it were a decent noble family there would be no way to catch Ludger once he ran away to another country.
‘If you have to hide your identity to avoid being caught even if you wander around the world it means that your family can influence the entire continent.’
Casey with his arms crossed snapped his fingers and tapped his forearm.
‘Then they are not from a noble family. At least royal.’
And that kingdom.
A place with so much influence that it can influence other countries even on the entire continent.
‘no way.’
Casey shook his head to dispel his own reasoning that led to that point.
Anyway this went too far.
‘Besides there’s something else strange. Even though he shouldn’t reveal his identity he doesn’t hide his skills. Why? There are other more important purposes than hiding one’s identity.’
A goal to be achieved even by taking risks.
All kinds of research material he had read from memory.

‘I don’t know.’
As long as nothing has yet been fully revealed it is impossible to arrive at a conclusion based on speculation alone.
‘Is this the end?’
Starting with increasing the amount of magical energy released the story of the magic suppressor and even a complete interpretation of Larsil language.
By the time the explanation was completely finished the magicians in the audience were completely wide-eyed.
“Mr Ludger! “I have a question!”
“Are you willing to publish a revised version of the complete interpretation of Larsil language?”
“Then how do you make a magic suppressor!”
Even though I knew I shouldn’t ask I couldn’t suppress the overflowing curiosity.
Even though the questions did not need to be answered Ludger calmly answered them.
“If you have any questions please ask them one by one.”
“Mr Ludger. “My name is Edwin a member of the New Magic Tower.”
“yes. Mr. Edwin. “Please speak.”
“Are you willing to reveal the recipe for the magic suppressor?”
“doesn’t exist.”
Ludger spoke clearly.
Murmurs were heard everywhere but no one openly asked Ludger why.
That’s because the magic suppressant recipe was invented by Ludger and intellectual ownership belongs to him.
Of course there were people who could not accept it even if they understood it intellectually.
“for a moment. “Isn’t that a bit much?”
The person who spoke this time was not the audience but a wizard sitting at the head table reserved for special people.
Sitting on a chair made to fit the size of an adult was a small child not even half that size.
She was a cute little girl like a doll with reddish-brown hair tied into two pigtails and the moment Ludger saw her he thought of a similar being.
‘If you look at his appearance he seems to be just as good as our teacher.’
Of course the thoughts stopped there.
Sitting at the head of the table meant that he was a great wizard.
It was something that should not be judged solely on appearance.
“Your name?”
“Caroline Monarch.”
As she spoke confidently her eyes were asking ‘Do you not know me?’
The wizards who recognized Caroline whispered among themselves.
“Caroline Monarch that mercenary wizard?”
“He is a person who travels around various places without any affiliation and receives missions.”
Caroline Monarch a 6th rank wizard.
Her existence was famous even among other wizards.
“I heard he was actually a commoner but he achieved outstanding achievements and was given the Monarch surname as an honorary noble.”
“It’s much smaller than I thought. “Are you really a saint?”
“This can’t be right. “It’s so cute.”
“…Was that your taste?”
After gathering some simple information Ludger looked at Caroline and asked.
“Yes Caroline. So what are you saying it’s not?”
“That’s it. “You’re going to hide the recipe.”
Caroline was not formal even though she was in front of thousands of wizards.
That was her original tendency.
Although she had a cute face and looked young she had the personality of a tyrant.
He never bows his head to anyone and if the opponent be it a noble or a royal family annoys him he fights first.
Because of that I felt my life was in danger several times but I never changed my attitude.
So the nickname given to her is “tyrant.”
The modifier ‘small’ was sometimes added in front of it but it was usually not added.
I couldn’t handle what would happen the moment those words reached Caroline’s ears.
“By the way since I’m older can I speak informally?”
“It doesn’t matter.”
Caroline may look like that but her actual age is over 30 and her skills are close to the top of the 6th rank.
In terms of age and industry experience he was clearly superior to Ludger.
‘Rather the name Caroline Monarch. ‘I thought I’d heard of them somewhere and it turns out they were people I met in the Kingdom of Utah.’
The mercenary group “Monarch” led by her.
They are all made up of wizards and most of them are living legends of the mercenary world who are known to have the fighting power of a war mage.
It is said that its reputation has diminished slightly due to the existence of ‘Machiavelli’ who recently led the civil war in the Kingdom of Utah to victory.
Although Caroline and her mercenary group have slightly faded from their overwhelming first place position they are still considered one of the most powerful groups.
‘I got involved with the Monarch mercenary group there.’
Of course I had never met the director Caroline so I didn’t pay much attention to it.
I couldn’t believe that the other person was the leader of that mercenary group.
“By telling everyone the results of their research like this and then hiding the recipe it only sounds like they are blatantly trying to use their superiority in information?”
“It may seem that way but in the first place I am only here to announce the results of the research on ‘increasing magical power output’ that was successful.”
In other words there was no need to explain the process and method of increasing horsepower output.
“So you’re saying they will take the information first?”
“I don’t need to tell everyone about my findings so I wouldn’t call it preemption.”
“I guess so. But if only they know how to make a magic suppressant problems will arise. What are the ingredients? “If we monopolize just one of the most key ingredients the problem will only increase.”
Caroline’s point was the danger of monopoly.
“You are not here to share valuable information. “He just used this space called Arcane Chamber for his own advancement.”
In the end only Ludger knows the magic suppressant recipe and if he wanted he could hoard the most important key ingredients and monopolize them.
The most important sword hilt is held by a single individual.
It was unpleasant for Caroline who did not like power itself to see someone wielding power like this from an overwhelming position of power.
Even though she reached the 6th level the reason she wandered around without any affiliation was because she hated that kind of power.
That’s why Caroline hates people in power.
I hate politicians.
“hmm. “I agree with that statement itself.”
It was Auguste who agreed with Caroline’s words.
Although it did not take Altego’s side Altego also felt a considerable sense of crisis when looking at Ludger’s research results.
Because of Councilor Altego the old magic tower was already looked down upon by Ludger and because of that the likelihood of information on magic suppressors coming here was significantly low.
Shouldn’t we stop the information from leaking out to other powers?
“Everyone is so kind. Wasn’t it the individual wizard’s freedom whether or not to disclose the thesis data from the Arcane Chamber?”
Elisa Willow came forward to protect Ludger.
“President Elisha. That and this case are different. “Research that causes such a big stir like now cannot be hidden simply by hiding it.”
If it was half-baked research data it wouldn’t have mattered if it wasn’t made public but the increase in magical energy output was a different story.
“Elisa Willow. “Are you afraid I don’t know that you take care of me because I’m a teacher at your academy?”
“Oh Caroline. Were you there? “It was so small that I couldn’t see it.”
“What dude? “Are you trying to fight me now?”
Caroline’s pigtails shook wildly at Elisa’s words that touched her disgust.
President Elisa who seemed calm and mature and Caroline who was petite and fiery were complete opposites in both personality and appearance.
“Even so I don’t think it is right for the majority to persecute and take away an individual’s research results.”
At that time another voice came from the table.
The one who opened his mouth was a wizard wearing a mask on his face.
“Look over there. This is Loteron of the Iron Mask. “One of the pillars of the New Magic Tower.”
“Why are you wearing something like a mask on your face?”
The clothes were comfortable to move around in but the appearance of a helmet only on the head was quite unusual.
In fact he expressed his opinion as if he did not care at all about other people’s reactions.
“Since when was the Arcane Chamber supposed to put pressure on someone’s research results?”
“Ronteron. “This time it’s different.”
“Are you trying to make an exception? That sounds really convenient. So who decides the threshold for exceptions? The old magic tower?”
The same was true for the other wizards sitting at the head table.
“Stir.”
She was a female wizard who had long bangs and was blind.
She looked timid at first glance and spoke in a quiet voice that suited her appearance.
“But no matter how you look at it isn’t it too risky for an individual to monopolize this kind of information? omg! sorry! “Someone like me just gives an opinion!”
A woman who immediately lowers her head.
But no one considered her actions pitiful.
Royna Pavlini.
Because she was a member of the School Association and was also a 6th rank wizard.
Although it was a minor achievement its achievements cannot be easily disparaged.
“That’s not right!”
This time there was a burst of spirit that resembled a strong shout.
A muscular wizard who is close to 2m tall.
If he weren’t wearing a robe he had the appearance of a knight. Even the robe was swollen to the point of bursting with muscles.
“That person is a member of the School Association right?”
“Hwiron? “That muscle idiot who is a wizard and is growing his body?”
Garon who claims to have a strong body by growing muscles despite being a wizard was famous as an eccentric even within academia.
But who can laugh at him?
Just sitting at the head of the table was like a testament to his skills.
“The majority is trying to persecute and take away the research data created by individuals! “It is against justice!”
“Hey! “I’m scared.”
The situation naturally developed into a confrontational structure.
The conflict between the old magic tower and the new magic tower.
Conflict within the school association.
and.
“Is this a conflict between adults and children?”
“I hope Caroline wins.”
“…Please sit a little further away from me.”
The words of those who sit at the head of the table carry considerable weight within the Arcane Chamber.
So naturally the opinions of the wizards sitting in the regular seats were divided.
-Information must be disclosed.
-no. This is the presenter’s freedom. You can’t infringe on that.
-This level of information has too great of an impact for an individual to hide. What if the other side decides to be foolish?
-Then it is not too late to go and come up with a new plan.
-It may be too late by then.
The people sitting at the head of the table naturally turned their gaze to one side.
When opinions were divided like this what was needed was the judgment of the wizard with the highest authority in the room.
And now there is only one person who holds the greatest authority in Arcane Chamber.
It was Clinton Rotschild of the Impera rank an archmage belonging to the imperial palace.
“Heh heh. “Do you want an answer from this old man?”
Even as Clinton chuckled he knew he couldn’t avoid the situation.
Everyone waited to see what his answer would be.
