The Academy’s Undercover Professor – 236



◈ Episode 236: Accidental Encounter (3)

“Why are you there?”

“That’s what we’re going to do.”

Casey Selmore stares at Ludger in disbelief.

Her reaction was that she didn’t expect to meet Ludger in a place like this but that was the same for Ludger as well.

“You really followed me?”

Ludger rarely frowned at Casey’s words.

“It seems like there is some misunderstanding but this is the one who came here and was eating first. “If I had to be honest it would be like he followed me.”

“under. It’s funny. I? “What are you doing?”

Casey answered in tears.

At that time Selina who had been quietly listening to the two people’s conversation opened her mouth.

“Do you know someone?”

There was an unusual tension in her voice.

The moment Selina saw Casey Selmore she felt a sense of crisis.

‘An acquaintance of Mr. Ludger?!’

You might not know that they were just acquaintances but the way they talked seemed like they were quite close friends.

If the two people had heard that they would have absolutely denied it but at least that was how Selina felt.

Moreover Casey Selmore was so beautiful that people would say she was ten times prettier.

Selina was not normally anxious because such a person was naturally talking to Ludger.

Casey perhaps aware of Selina’s anxiety widened his eyes when he saw Selina’s appearance.

‘You’re that teacher back then right?’

Selina might not remember but Casey knew Selina.

In fact all she knew was that Ludger saved the teacher from the burning warehouse on the last day of the festival.

However the moment Casey saw the two people meeting like this and sharing a meal a thought occurred to Casey without realizing it.

“date?”

“yes?”

Selina who heard Casey muttering something without realizing it reacted violently.

In fact it was closer to an exclamation of half-joy.

“Don’t be mistaken. “I only met Selina by chance and shared a meal with her.”

At that time Ludger came forward and corrected Casey’s misunderstanding.

Selina became sullen at those words but Casey on the other hand looked puzzled.

‘Do you usually come to eat together just because you ran into each other by chance?’

And at a restaurant so famous that reservations are delayed?

However no matter how you looked at Ludger’s confident actions there seemed to be no lies.

‘no. You never know. This vicious man may be trying to seduce an innocent female teacher and do something behind her back.’

Ludger sensed Casey’s disturbing gaze but did not feel the need to correct it.

“I don’t know what you’re thinking but if you’re here to eat I’d rather just eat quietly.”

“what?”

“It was purely coincidental that we met here in the first place. No matter how much you talk about it nothing will change.”

“Who wants it?”

“More than anything it is a nuisance to other guests. Are you planning on making a loud noise in a public place?”

Casey closed his mouth at Ludger’s warning.

Casey’s tightly clenched fists trembled.

Ludger’s words were clearly an irrefutable statement.

‘No but it’s really unfair. ‘Do I have to hear this from James Moriarty?’

How would you feel if you were scolded by a criminal of the century for throwing trash on the street?

The right thing to say is the right thing to say but it’s a complicated feeling that I never want to hear from that person.

“Casey. “It’s noisy so please sit down.”

Betty who came with her also nagged Casey.

There were no allies here to take her side.

If you were to make a rational decision the right thing to do was to sit quietly.

But there was one problem.

‘I don’t want to listen to that person!’

Casey also knew in his head that he could just sit still eat and leave.

But my heart didn’t do that.

When I thought about what Ludger said I felt like I had lost.

If he just quietly eats and leaves like this doesn’t it look like he’s following Ludger’s orders?

Casey thought that was enough to make him lose.

Normally I wouldn’t have done that but when I got involved with Ludger my rational judgment became clouded.

Even though I knew that it was difficult to extinguish the boiling competitive spirit.

“That ugh.”

While Casey was struggling to understand anything Betty who was no better than she was grabbed Casey’s hand.

“Oh please sit down.”

As a specially made automaton her strength far exceeds that of an ordinary person.

In the end Casey was forced to sit down by Betty.

Even though Casey was overcome with frustration he did not forget to glare at Ludger with wide eyes.

“I sat down because I wanted to sit down. “I definitely didn’t sit down because he told me to.”

“….”

Who said what?

I don’t know why he did that but Ludger agreed and decided to move on.

I had an intuition that if I didn’t do that I might get caught up in even more troublesome work.

Betty frowned at Casey’s actions but bowed her head to Ludger and Selina.

“sorry. “My Casey has very poor social skills so I’ll apologize on his behalf.”

“Betty. “Who says social skills are bad?”

“Who would it be?”

Ludger decided to ignore the two people who started bickering and focus on eating.

His gaze briefly rested on Betty who bowed her head to him but it was only for a moment.

No one noticed the gaze.

“Okay.”

Casey glanced dissatisfiedly at Ludger who ignored her and went to eat.

If we had to be honest it’s true that she also ignores Ludger.

What we encountered today was purely coincidental.

There was nothing strange about dismissing it as an unexpected incident.

however.

It would be easy to just ignore it but why do I keep worrying about it?

Seeing Ludger eating a meal with Selina made me feel sick to my stomach.

As I felt sick my fingers kept tapping on the table.

Some people are having such a hard time while others are enjoying dating a pretty female teacher?

‘You don’t have the right to do that.’

Why are you so calm after doing something like that?

Why are you so relaxed when you’re still fighting the Black Dawn?

Now I couldn’t even tell if Ludger’s appearance was fake or real.

To be honest I don’t know.

For the first time Casey admits that he doesn’t know something.

This is the first time she has raised the white flag as she seeks out the truth in any secret case.

“Casey. “What’s wrong with your expression?”

“what.”

“You keep moaning which is uncharacteristic of Casey. “It’s like a dog that’s scared of something.”

“dog…? “If you want to swear just do it coolly.”

“Oh my. “When did you say I did that?”

No matter how you look at it it seems like that’s what he meant.

When Casey opened his eyes and gave a quizzical look Betty hastily made an excuse.

“Rather it’s because I’m worried about Casey. Of course Casey’s usual behavior is so unusual that it’s easier for me to just stay still.”

“You talk like a mother who brought in a disobedient child.”

“But since Casey is so calm…”

“Is there anything?”

Are you worried because it doesn’t suit you?

“I started to feel anxious that something bigger might explode.”

“….”

Quick.

A tendon sprouted from Casey’s forehead.

Still I wondered if he was worried about me but instead he seemed anxious.

“Are you… looking at me like that?”

When I asked that question suppressing my boiling anger Betty retorted as if she had something to say this time.

“Hey Casey. “You don’t even remember what you did to me right?”

“what.”

“Look at that. That attitude. “I feel like I’m going crazy with anxiety because someone like that is suddenly keeping his mouth shut.”

From Betty’s point of view it would have been better if Casey had gone on a rampage like usual.

I resent myself for adapting to such a weirdo but what can I do?

You may think it’s annoying but at least you can ignore it and think of it as her usual self.

“But it doesn’t suit Casey to be so gloomy.”

“….”

Casey pursed his lips at Betty’s words.

But soon he nodded.

“I see. “It wasn’t like me.”

Casey chuckled at that.

I felt like my complicated head became clearer.

What on earth was I worrying so much about? Just act like your usual self.

Casey’s expression brightened and Betty was relieved to see it.

After that I suddenly felt anxious.

‘Oh wait. ‘Maybe I pressed the wrong switch?’

Unfortunately Betty’s anxiety became reality.

Casey immediately stood up and started performing magic.

The flowing water moved the table and placed it right next to Ludger’s table.

Casey said shamelessly as he looked at Ludger and Selina who looked back to see what was going on.

“It’s fate that we met after such a long time so let’s sit together.”

“….”

Casey smiled brightly ignoring the puzzled looks.

Betty seeing that shook her head.

Now that Casey had entered that state no one could stop him.

‘I can only pray that this event ends safely.’

* * *

‘No what is that woman again!’

Merilda who had been secretly watching the inside of the restaurant was furious at the sudden intrusion of an uninvited guest.

‘What is that Selina’s date!’

Even seeing the uninvited guest made Merilda feel anxious.

First of all it’s pretty.

The color of his hair like the blue sky and his unique atmosphere were also attractive.

Moreover from the way he talked to Ludger without hesitation and the way Ludger accepted his words it seemed like the two had been on good terms from before.

‘Someone I know suddenly appears here? This is why Selina’s date is ruined!’

Merilda was worried. How can we support Selina here?

‘no. It’s too late to worry. This is Selina’s long-awaited opportunity but we can’t let it ruin it like this.’

Merilda realized that she had to invade the scene herself and made a decision.

This was the moment when she took her body away from the streetlight and started heading towards the restaurant.

“Oh Miss Merilda!”

Merilda was startled when someone called her knowing she was there.

I turned my head and saw a student with lemon-colored hair there.

“…Excuse me but who are you?”

“ah. You don’t know. My name is Cheryl Wagner. “I’m a second year student at Seorn.”

“What on earth is going on with second grade?”

“My field of expertise is cursed. So I wanted to have a deep conversation with Teacher Merilda at least once! “I never thought I’d see you in a place like this!”

Of course Cheryl’s field of expertise was not curses and magic and she had no desire to talk to Merylda.

It’s just that Merilda noticed that she was getting into that situation and tried to stop it.

She didn’t expect that a blue-haired woman would suddenly enter that situation but it was a good thing for Sheryl.

If Selina and Ludger’s date were to fail like this Flora would have an opportunity.

Merilda and Cheryl’s gaze collided in the air.

‘This kid. You’re trying to sabotage me.’

‘teacher. I’m sorry but I need you to stay still for Flora’s sake.’

Merylda and Cheryl suddenly get into a fight.

Hans who was secretly watching the two people was embarrassed by this unexpected situation.

‘what. Why are those two acting like that all of a sudden?’

Were they enemies?

Hans thought now was his chance.

Since the two people who were on guard are clashing with each other I can use this opportunity to send a signal to my brother.

“I need your help.”

Hans immediately called a mouse.

Hans handed a note to the mouse that raised both paws in front of him.

“Tell this to your brother.”

The content of the note was a warning to avoid the place because there was a suspicious pursuer.

At first I thought about calling a crow but then I shook my head.

If you crow here you’re bound to get noticed. Rather it was cleaner to have the rat quietly leave a note.

‘As long as we don’t get caught there won’t be any damage to the store.’

With that in mind Hans sent the rat towards the restaurant.

It’s a simple matter that just needs to be sent anyway.

A mouse with a note in its mouth scurried through the crowd toward the restaurant.

And after a while.

Fuuuuuuu!

A huge water explosion came out from one side of the restaurant.

“uh…?”

Hans stared blankly at the scene.
