The Academy’s Undercover Professor – 227



◈ Episode 227 Arcane Chamber (3)

The wizards’ attention focused on Clinton.

Clinton is the most famous wizard here.

Even the heated arguments of over a thousand wizards felt lighter than a feather in front of his every word.

That’s why everyone hoped Clinton would rule.

Ludger thought while watching the skit.

‘They don’t care about me and they all want to make their own decisions. With the glory of Seorn on our backs this is all we can do.’

I thought there would be some level of control but I never thought there would be calls for forced disclosure of information.

‘I thought even wizards would be a bit reserved since it’s a position.’

In other words it’s a subject that all wizards including you and I will turn to.

If I had to blame it I would have to blame it on my own research achievements.

‘Rather I’m glad I’m Seorn’s teacher. If I were a wandering wizard with no money I would have lost everything I had and died on the street.’

Even though the worst was avoided that didn’t mean things were okay now.

Because these greedy people were intent on somehow putting pressure on this side to spit out information.

And now.

What Clinton says will determine his treatment.

“Heh heh. Everyone has too many expectations for this old man. However both sides’ opinions are plausible enough to make a hasty conclusion.”

So Clinton continued.

“I will remain neutral. It’s not a good idea for the conclusion to change depending on my choices. Maybe it’s because I’m old. I have no motivation. Motivation. “Isn’t the important thing the opinion of the research sponsor?”

Clinton declared neutrality using the excuse that he was old.

In some ways it was fortunate but in other ways it was frustrating because the verdict was not clear.

However Clinton did not take his eyes off Ludger while saying that.

A strange sense of anticipation can be felt in those eyes.

Ludger knew what he wanted.

‘Tell me to deal with this.’

Beyond his benevolent appearance his intentions were quite calculated.

So he probably rose to the position of imperial wizard.

Skills are skills but you can’t rise to a position like that without being rude.

Ludger laughed to himself.

‘He’s an old man like a snake.’

In the end it was he who had to settle the matter here.

Although it was left to me as if I was being passed on to it.

Ludger liked this method.

It doesn’t suit his temperament to leave it up to someone else to choose how he will be treated.

Because no matter what choice he made his life was one where he had to make his own decisions.

“I listened carefully to many people’s opinions.”

When Ludger opened his mouth the wizards who had started arguing noisily again all silenced.

“I had no idea that my research would be talked about by so many people. “Let me first say thank you for the undeserved interest.”

“what.”

“What on earth are you planning?”

Rather doubtful reactions flowed out one by one perhaps because it seemed strange that this person was speaking so confidently.

“However this research is entirely up to me as an individual who made the discovery. “I don’t like it when other people decide how to treat me in the face of that.”

The crowd was greatly excited by those words.

Some people ask what that means.

Anyone else says that’s natural.

The commotion spread out in concentric circles and eventually gathered back to the center.

And in the center stood Ludger.

“No matter what everyone here concludes my choice will remain the same.”

Auguste narrowed his eyes and asked at that firm voice.

“That is so Mr. Ludger Chelisi. “Are you saying you won’t publish the results of this study?”

“Are you going to keep the contents to yourself?”

Caroline even turned on her double wick and glared at Ludger.

“Then let me ask you. “Is there any benefit to me if I publish this?”

“…You have already made enough discoveries. “Is there any greater honor than this?”

Auguste who said that added an afterthought because he missed it.

“…Of course if you make a big choice we will reward you accordingly.”

“The reward would not even come close to the value of the discovery I made.”

It was an arrogant statement but Auguste did not deny it.

“Then what are you thinking about?”

“I don’t think my research results will be forcibly taken away from me so it’s difficult for me to say anything.”

Auguste frowned at those words.

Ludger was blatantly appealing that this was bad.

Of course that’s true.

Forced disclosure of research content is a totalitarian idea.

However if the qualifier “for the common good” is attached to these actions then the story is different.

“This is a path for everyone.”

Something for everyone.

What other word can justify this action more than that?

Ludger secretly laughed at Auguste’s words.

There may be many opposing opinions but if you look at the atmosphere of Arcane Chamber it is not even 50/50 but rather the side that it should be made public was slightly dominant.

President Elisa who was trying to stop it somehow was also quite nervous about the unexpected atmosphere.

“Or Mr. Ludger Cellisi do you intend to reject the common good?”

“Then let me ask you. Sir Auguste. What answer do you think I will give from what you see here?”

Ludger asked staring at Auguste with unwavering gaze.

Auguste remained silent at that question.

What answer do you think you will give?

An ordinary wizard would have no choice but to look and say yes.

But Ludger instead asked ‘What do you think I will do?’

I couldn’t help but think that if you said something like that you would definitely reject it.

Ludger’s gaze went from Auguste to Caroline and all the way to Royna.

“Tell me. “What do you think I will answer?”

Everyone was silent at those words.

The expressions of the people sitting at the head table became scary.

Gulp.

Someone swallowed.

Ludger’s unyielding attitude seemed to indicate that he was willing to fight at any moment.

Are you sure you want to commit it? In front of everyone?

Are you confident that you will not give up your opinion?

Even though I’m crazy I’m still crazy.

Embarrassed excited nervous.

In the midst of the chaos where various emotions were mixed together Auguste opened his mouth.

“Does that mean you will refuse the request until the end?”

“Deny the request?”

Ludger shook his head at those words.

slowly.

So that everyone can see themselves.

“It’s the opposite.”

“What?”

“I don’t know why you said that but I won’t say it twice so please listen carefully.”

“What is that now….”

“We will disclose the data.”

The moment people at the scene heard those words they couldn’t understand what Ludger was saying.

And after about 3 seconds.

Great astonishment filled the Arcane Chamber.

“This choice is my own not forced by anyone and as such the consequences and responsibility for it are all mine.”

This is not an honor that you give to me as a favor but an honor that I earn.

It is a mercy given by me not taken away by your coercion.

All choices.

It’s only mine.

“…What are you? “Are you serious?”

Caroline asked her eyes wide.

There was still a deep sense of distrust in her eyes.

“yes. “Didn’t you put pressure on me hoping to say these things?”

“No that’s not it…”

Even so I didn’t know that I would agree so easily.

Just a little while ago wasn’t there an atmosphere of willingness to fight to the death?

Why did you suddenly change your attitude like flipping your palm?

Auguste Caroline Loina who insisted that the information be made public was also embarrassed.

The other people who tried to protect him were equally embarrassed.

“Really? Are you making it public?”

“I said I would do it so I will do it.”

“You’re crazy. I can’t believe I’m going to share that great information with everyone. “If it were me I wouldn’t have done it.”

Murmur.

In a magical battle where emotions fluctuated wildly the only one who remained calm was Grand Wizard Clinton.

He actually held back the urge to burst out laughing.

‘Hehehe. I got this. ‘I was very upset.’

Clinton knew what Ludger was thinking the moment he said those words.

‘I was planning on revealing it from the beginning.’

The wizards gathered here could not escape their shock the moment they saw Ludger’s research results.

Moreover since only the results were mentioned and the most important process was deliberately ignored I naturally thought that Ludger was hiding information.

In fact Ludger has consistently maintained an attitude of never giving up until now.

Then out of the blue they announced that they would disclose the information.

“Since we are disclosing this for the public good there is no need for the Arcane Chamber to provide compensation.”

“…Are you really saying it’s not necessary?”

“This is entirely my own choice not coerced by someone’s threats or appeasement. “How can I get paid for doing good work?”

So take a good look everyone.

Ludger said that and created letters in the air with his magic.

“This is how to make the magic suppressor you wanted.”

And the moment Auguste saw it he realized something was wrong.

‘this! ‘I was hit.’

The purpose of Auguste’s pressure on Ludger was to prevent him from monopolizing important information.

And if he made the choice to reveal it I planned to appease him appropriately and obtain the information from the Old Magic Tower first.

Other organizations may not just sit idle but that doesn’t matter either.

In any case the entrenched factional fight has become more solidified.

But Ludger suddenly revealed it to everyone right here.

To all over 5000 wizards.

Even though the magicians in the audience were wide-eyed they did not stop writing down the recipe that Ludger laid out.

‘This cannot be stopped.’

Although the intended goal of not allowing one individual to monopolize it was achieved.

The next goal was defeated due to Ludger’s unexpected actions.

Among the over 5000 wizards gathered how many were independent wizards without any affiliation?

Now that they all know this information tomorrow both dogs and cows will realize the existence of the magic suppressor.

The old magic tower the new magic tower and the school association.

Their chance to step forward was as good as gone.

And at the same time everyone will praise Ludger’s name.

‘Are you really aiming for this?’

If I can’t stop the information from being revealed anyway I think it would be better to make everyone know without leaving a single person out.

“I think you’ve confirmed everything so I’ll just delete it.”

Ludger recovered his magic power and removed the letters.

There was no one who felt regretful.

Because everyone who wants to see it has already seen it.

“Although I learned it with great difficulty over a long period of time I am willing to sacrifice myself for the development of the world of magic and for the future students who will learn magic.”

The quietly muttered words were met with thunderous applause and cheers from the audience.

“oh my god. “I can’t believe you’re thinking of giving something like this to everyone.”

“It must not have been easy to make such a determination but isn’t he truly a living saint!”

“Ludger Chelsea! Ludger Chelsea!”

Some even said they were moved and even had tears in their eyes.

It was the same for Caroline who was sitting next to Auguste.

“That guy was a good guy right? “I don’t even know that…”

Even Caroline who first suspected Ludger has already fallen for Ludger’s tricks.

Auguste eventually realized it.

Even though he lost what he had in hand the winner of this position is Ludger.

“I would like to thank those who came here today and I will now take my leave.”

Ludger bowed so politely.

The spotlight that was pouring down from the ceiling suddenly went out.

This marks the end of the academic presentations held regularly at Arcane Chamber.

However even though everything was over there were no wizards who got up from their seats.

A lingering feeling of emotion was still swirling in their hearts.

* * *

After leaving the presentation hall Ludger joined the president and walked down the hallway.

The rector asked Ludger.

“Why did you do that?”

“What do you mean?”

“The information was made public. There was no need to do that. “Is it okay to do something spontaneous like that?”

“I didn’t do it spontaneously. “It was all thought out.”

“You were thinking from the beginning about throwing away all the advantages?”

“Anyway information will be made public sooner or later. The benefits that can be gained in the meantime are not that big. Rather their situation is isolated due to antipathy.”

“…but. “The ingredients for magic suppressors are very common and can be easily obtained.”

“Right now the prices of materials will skyrocket but we will find out eventually. In any case only young wizards benefit from magic suppressants. “The demand is not as great as the supply.”

President Elisa also understood to some extent.

“But even so you should have given me a little hint. Do you know how surprised I was?”

“I’m sorry if I startled you. But no one was supposed to know this. “Because we needed to set the tone.”

Giving something when you don’t think you’ll give it back is much bigger than giving it outright.

To do that he needed perfect acting and even fooled his allies.

Elisha grumbled in a sharp tone.

“Do you know how many people’s hearts you were able to control through that push and pull?”

“I don’t know because I don’t care about such things.”

“Ugh. Don’t say anything. Even so it’s a bit disappointing. It’s somewhat refreshing but I feel strangely disappointed. “How many benefits can you get from that?”

“You don’t have to worry.”

“Why?”

“Even if they knew how to make the inhibitor they wouldn’t be able to achieve the results they want.”

“What do you mean?”

“It’s not something you can make simply by knowing the ingredients and combination.”

They may be excited now and try to make a magic suppressant somehow but they will soon realize it.

Something important was missing in the process of creating the magic suppressor.

“Once again you don’t have to worry.”

“I originally wasn’t planning on doing that but I guess I won’t be able to because of so-and-so.”

“Is that so? Rather I think I should first welcome the guests.”

“customer?”

Only then did Elisha realize that someone was blocking their path.

Caroline Monarch.

Elisa’s expression turned cold when she recognized her.
