The Academy’s Undercover Professor – 237



◈ Episode 237 Accidental Encounter (4)

“So how did you two meet? “What’s going on?”

Casey who attempted to semi-forcibly sit together immediately asked Selina a question.

Selina who was trying to ask what this was answered as if she was caught up in a barrage of questions that came at her at rapid speed.

“Me and Teacher Ludger are teachers at the same Seorn.”

“and! is it so? “May I ask what you major in?”

“That’s elemental science.”

“oh! That’s cool! A spirit. “They usually say that it’s hard to learn that kind of person unless you’re born with an affinity for it right?”

“Is that so?”

Normally she should have been angry but since Selina is weak she was naturally swayed by Casey’s words.

Ludger looked at Casey’s actions with disapproval.

Casey tried to ignore Ludger’s gaze and continued the conversation naturally.

“So what happened here with that human being Mr. Ludger? “This is a real date right?”

“Oh no! It’s not a date! “It’s not like that!”

Casey caught wind of Selina’s violent reaction as if she had been pricked by a needle.

At first glance Selina seemed to have a crush on Ludger.

Casey felt so bad about that.

‘How could a girl who is so beautiful and genuine fall for such a bad guy?’

If you look at Ludger’s behavior it was nothing more or less than his attitude toward his co-workers.

You love something that cannot be reciprocated.

Moreover Ludger’s true identity was not as quiet a person as he appeared.

‘I can’t do this. ‘I have to help someone thinking I’m saving someone.’

Casey was passionately planning to sabotage Ludger’s date(?) as if saving someone’s life.

At that time Selina couldn’t hold back her curiosity and asked.

“How did you two get to know each other?”

Selina sensed that there was something between Ludger and Casey.

Not only was Casey’s behavior like recognizing Ludger and naturally talking to him but he usually didn’t show his emotions so he openly showed that he disliked Ludger in a business-like manner to anyone.

‘If Mr. Ludger reacts like that it’s not an ordinary relationship.’

Although Ludger’s reaction was no different from annoyance.

Selina felt that this was similar to behavior seen between close friends.

‘It must be an illusion right? ‘It must be an illusion.’

While I was desperately praying for that to happen Casey said.

“ah. Not this guy…! This person? I just found out by chance. Of course we are not that close. “How much?”

“You’re a useless person who only causes trouble to me so you don’t have to worry too much about me.”

Casey was furious at Ludger’s answer.

“what? No wait. Isn’t that a bit excessive? “What a nuisance!”

“I was just stating the obvious.”

“ah. “I agree with that too.”

Betty who was quietly listening also joined in Ludger’s words.

“It’s really funny. “If you measure the level of nuisance you are the worse one right?”

“joy. “Isn’t that your personal impression?”

Selina’s complexion darkened as she saw the two people bickering with each other.

“ah. “You two were very close friends.”

Glancing.

Selina’s gaze immediately turned to the fork she was holding in her hand.

‘what?’

Casey shivered from the sudden chill he felt.

It felt like I just felt like my life was in danger.

Casey looked at Selina.

It may have been an illusion but her eyes seemed empty as if they contained darkness for a moment.

‘I guess not? ‘It must be an illusion right?’

As Casey thought that Ludger looked down without realizing it.

A small mouse was looking up with a note in its mouth.

‘Hans?’

Ludger naturally accepted the note from the rat just in case others saw it.

The contents inside the note contained a warning to be careful.

‘Is someone following me?’

Ludger deliberately pretended not to know anything and acted naturally.

If you reveal it here the person you are following may notice something strange.

‘Well done.’

Ludger thanked the rat for bringing him the note and gave him a nut.

The rat bit it with its front teeth and then squirmed away.

The rat trying to avoid people’s gaze and return to its owner naturally moved under the table.

As the rat tried to pass under Ludger’s table it grazed the ankle of Casey Selmore who was sitting next to him.

“…!”

Casey shivered at the feel of her ankle.

Her mind couldn’t comprehend what was happening.

The rat he hated so much touched his body.

My body rather than my head recognized that fact in a split second.

At the same time I brought out a behavior that was deeply engraved in my bones.

It has increased magical power.

And the magic power raised by Casey a single-attribute magic user produced only one result.

Fuuuuuuu!

Moisture in the air began to gather around Casey in an instant and was soon replaced by a large spray of water.

A large spray of water sprayed all the way outside the restaurant.

Utensils flew and tables overturned.

It was a complete shock to the people inside the restaurant and people passing by on the street outside also stopped and watched the scene.

“what?”

“Did a sewer burst?”

As people’s eyes were focused on one place a wet mouse ran across the street and returned to Hans.

The rat proudly displayed the nut it was holding and raised its front paw as if to praise Hans.

“uh….”

Hans sensed something was wrong.

* * *

“This is true.”

Before Casey Selmore made a splash.

Ludger moved quickly as soon as the magic power came out of her body.

He immediately got up from his seat approached Selina and instantly created a magic spell using [source code].

As it was Selina and herself were surrounded by protective magic that protected our bodies.

A splash of water exploded soon after but thanks to Ludger’s quick response the two did not suffer any damage.

“Miss Selina. Are you okay?”

“yes? yes.”

It happened so quickly that Selina was late in understanding the situation.

Only later did he realize that the magic had occurred and that Ludger had saved him.

And the warm yet strong hand holding one of her shoulders clearly belongs to Ludger…

Pow!

Selina’s face was so red that she exploded.

“Hey me. Mr. Lou Ludger. “The hands…”

“Rather than that I think I should leave for now.”

Looking at the restaurant that quickly became a mess Ludger grabbed Selina and led her away.

If not now there was no chance to get rid of that annoying woman.

‘I wasn’t specifically aiming for it but it worked out well.’

Casey was probably acting like that as if he was having a fit because of the rat.

In other words the series of events that have occurred now is a coincidence.

Ludger thought it was rather fortunate.

Hans warned.

It seems like someone is following me outside.

The best option was to take advantage of the commotion and leave the place.

Ludger immediately left the restaurant naturally taking Selina with him.

The action was so secret and natural but it could not fool a single person’s eyes.

“oh! wait for a sec!”

Casey immediately tried to catch Ludger as he disappeared with Selina but the situation was not on her side.

“customer! “How on earth is this happening?”

Casey who set off a water bomb inside the store was embarrassed by the looks of people criticizing him.

“Oh no I mean the mouse….”

“yes? What does that mean? How clean is our store! “Are you sure you saw it correctly?”

“No I’m not sure if it exists but I acted reflexively.”

“So you’re saying you did this without any certainty?”

Casey had nothing to say even though he had ten mouths.

It definitely felt like a mouse as it passed by her feet.

But the rat had already disappeared and now it was unclear whether it was a real rat.

‘Could it be this human?’

Casey immediately remembered Ludger’s face.

It’s crazy to think that Ludger may have done something to get rid of him.

No that was clear.

However even if she complained of injustice right away there was no one who would listen to her voice.

The guests whose meal was interrupted were glaring at Casey with cold gazes.

I was in big trouble.

“Betty! “Help me!”

In the end I asked Betty for help but there was no answer from her either.

“Betty?”

When I looked closely I saw that Betty was frozen in her posture.

The moment Casey saw that he thought it was a disaster.

‘Could it be that water got into your body?!’

Even though Betty looks like that she is an automaton made up of very precise machines.

Although it was said to be waterproof it was not strong enough to withstand the spray of water coming from a short distance away like before.

Geek.

Betty’s body which had stopped tilted to the side and fell to the floor.

The restaurant manager who saw the scene hurriedly approached Betty checked her condition and exclaimed in surprise.

“Four people are dead!”

“I’m not dead!”

“You’re not breathing! “Then you’re dead!”

“that…!”

Is that so?

Casey was like oh no.

It was impossible to refute it.

“what? “Someone dies?”

“Is it murder?”

“oh my god. “Murder in broad daylight!”

Murmur.

The atmosphere of the store was unusual. People who were checking out what was happening outside also heard the news and the rumors began to spread.

“Oh my god what do you mean a murder was committed in a store?”

“Murder in broad daylight like this. “How much you must hate the other person.”

“It’s not like that!”

Casey protested but no one believed him.

“Ahhhh! Ludger Chelsea!”

As she watched Ludger disappear taking Selina with her all she could do was shout the man’s name out loud.

* * *

Selina thought she was dreaming.

Ludger was protecting him and even holding his hand to lead him.

I want to hold this hand a little longer.

I didn’t want to miss this warmth.

But that fantasy-like moment eventually came to an end.

Ludger deciding that she was far enough away from the restaurant stopped and let go of her hand.

“ah.”

Selina was so disappointed that she sighed without even realizing it.

“sorry. “Mr. Selina.”

“Yes yes?”

Selina was taken aback by Ludger’s sudden apology and asked back.

“I guess you interrupted your meal for no reason.”

“no. “Mr. Ludger didn’t do anything wrong.”

As she said it was painful for Selina to have her long-awaited meal interrupted.

‘What happens next?’

Originally I planned to eat leisurely and decide my next destination.

However her plans were disrupted as a series of unintended events occurred.

Selina tried to move her head which was not moving.

I had to somehow come up with an excuse to avoid being separated from Ludger.

Ludger stared at Selina in silence.

‘I had a strange feeling at the restaurant a little while ago.’

Although it was only for a moment I felt an eerie feeling from Selina.

Could it be that there are still remnants of Esmeralda left in her?

no. Since she had fully attained Buddhahood perhaps some remnants of Quasimodo remained.

“Miss Selina.”

“yes. yes?”

“I have a question. “What happened to the contract with the spirits after the festival?”

“ah.”

Ludger’s questions were quite incoherent but Selina felt relieved that they could continue the conversation.

“For now I have made a contract with a new intermediate spirit but the children I used to control are still resting.”

“okay.”

The last day of the festival.

The three intermediate spirits under Selina’s control consumed too much power while fighting Quasimodo and took a break.

In other words a big gap has been left for Selina who used to command three intermediate spirits.

Fortunately Selina seemed to have ended her contract with the new spirit.

“Can you tell which spirit you made a contract with?”

“First of all there are two spirits who signed a contract. One is a water spirit and the other is….”

Selina hesitated for a moment while trying to speak.

Ludger felt suspicious about that appearance.

“What is the other one?”

“…Don’t be surprised when you hear it? “I haven’t shown it to other people yet.”

I’m only showing it to Professor Ludger.

Selina whispered softly so that only Ludger could hear then closed her eyes and unleashed her magic.

Selina put her hands forward.

Ludger’s gaze naturally turned to the palm of his hand.

Eventually Selina’s magic disappeared and something like a black cotton ball appeared in her palms.

“This is…”

“It’s a dark spirit.”

“Spirit of darkness?”

Ludger looked at the black cotton ball in Selina’s palm with an unexpected gaze.

At that time the black cotton ball opened its pure white eyes and rushed towards Ludger.
