The Academy’s Undercover Professor – 24



◈ Episode 24: Black Dawn (1)

I crumpled the note put it in my inner pocket and was troubled.

First of all I know that the Black Dawn is related to this werewolf incident.

However seeing as they urgently ask for their removal if capture is not possible the werewolf escape incident is probably unexpected.

‘The problem is that if this is discovered the Society of Black Dawn will suffer a huge blow.’

If they take a hit that’s good news for me.

Even if you pretend like nothing is wrong on the outside on the inside you have to welcome it with open arms.

However if there is a problem it is the phrase written at the end.

-There is a possibility that this person’s identity will be discovered.

In other words this person’s identity as Ludger Chelisi is somehow related to the creation of the werewolf test subject.

You need to catch at least 3 fish. No now there are two.

In other words I have to find and catch werewolves before the Seorn side and then kill them.

‘Now that I think about it the werewolf had a mark.’

Perhaps this mark itself is related to the people who conducted the experiment.

The problem is that Ludger Chelsea is involved in some way.

To be honest if this had nothing to do with me I would have just left the matter to Seorn to handle.

But if I were involved in this then it would be a different story.

If you get caught you die.

“Mr. Ludger? “Where does it hurt?”

“It’s nothing.”

In response to Teacher Selina’s worried question I shook my head and answered that it was okay.

First it was confirmed that there were as many as three werewolves.

I caught one so there are two left.

One each in Seorn and one in Lederbelk.

‘We have to hunt them down.’

Meanwhile the war of nerves between the president and Hugo was gradually coming to an end.

“Well it’s up to Mr. Hugo to act like that out of narrow-minded thinking. “I just hope that the assigned tasks are handled reliably.”

“So you’re saying you’re going to strengthen patrols?”

“It’s not just that. “We as teachers cannot sit still until we increase the number a little and all the students return home late at night.”

Hugo made a blatantly annoyed expression at those words.

Rather than worrying about the students he seemed displeased with the fact that someone his age had to go on patrol that only employees could do.

However the incident has already occurred and other teachers are aware of the seriousness of the situation.

Even Hugo was in a position where he could not openly oppose it.

“Whatever.”

“great. And other teachers please warn your students not to wander around late at night. If you break it it doesn’t matter if you give penalty points. This is an order given directly by me the president. “You understand right?”

“Tsk. All right.”

After the meeting the teachers stood up and dispersed one by one.

I also got up and tried to go back to the office but several people blocked my path.

“Are you Mr. Ludger Chelisi? Nice to meet you. “I am Deniel Maslach the person in charge of astrology.”

“Mr. Ludger. “This person is in charge of enrichment classes…”

It was obvious why they were approaching me.

I’m just asking about source code magic.

The young greed in their eyes said it all.

“I’m sorry but I’m busy so I’ll go first.”

I immediately shook off their attention and left the meeting room.

* * *

Instead of heading straight to my office I moved to a deserted warehouse.

I thought this was enough so I stopped in my seat.

“Come out.”

The guy who sent me the message at the conference room must have been waiting for me to come out.

You probably won’t be able to convey everything you want to say in a few lines so there must be something you want to say.

As soon as I spoke I felt a squirming presence beyond the pillar and someone stuck out his head.

“I….”

“Say it.”

My first impression was that she was a girl with a squirrel-like appearance.

No I thought I’d seen it a lot somewhere but it turned out to be one of the subordinates of the Black Dawn who tried to approach me fifteen days after I entered Seorn.

“What’s going on?”

“So…”

She was visibly upset probably not expecting to see me again.

Then he completely revealed himself behind the pillar and I was a little surprised to see that he was wearing Seorn’s uniform.

I wonder if he was a student here.

The reason why most members of the Black Dawn Society remain undercover as employees is because a student’s identity cannot be simply manipulated.

If you want to come here you must have the talent or appropriate skills to pass the entrance exam.

I couldn’t have guessed that this guy who looked like a low-ranking student was a student here a first-year student who had just entered school.

When we first met I didn’t know this guy was in uniform either.

“Let’s move on first. “Follow me.”

“Oh yes.”

I took the lead and she followed.

Something suddenly occurred to me so I looked back and asked.

“Do you like coffee?”

“yes?”

* * *

I sat across from a third order student in a quiet cafe.

She had been shrugging her shoulders a little while ago not knowing what to do.

I glanced at her appearance.

Pure white skin and delicate features. And she has voluminous brown short hair and a slightly slender physique.

Her ears are not visible and her bangs are so long that they almost cover her eyes.

It’s literally like seeing a tiny squirrel.

I guess he must have misread the way he trembled at my threats at that time.

I took a sip of the warm coffee in front of me and placed it loudly on the table.

Just right.

“Hi!”

When the coffee cup hit the table and a sound was heard the guy shrugged his shoulders.

“name.”

“yes?”

“I won’t ask twice. name.”

“This is Se Sedina Roshen.”

“Is this your real name?”

“yes yes.”

“It’s not a pseudonym?”

This is surprising.

In this world having a last name means you are not a commoner but a higher class.

noble priest. Or a wealthy person.

Why did a guy who grew up in such an environment where everything was lacking join a secret society and even though he was talented enough to be admitted to this society he only became a member of the lowest Third Order?

‘no. In fact the more you come from a family like this the worse you may be treated.’

The strangest part is that someone born with this level of talent is only in the third order.

Well I’ll ask that later.

I lightly snapped my fingers.

“Say it. Exactly what happened. “Everything.”

“Uh… the surroundings….”

“I performed a voice-blocking spell. “Even if we scream here the conversation won’t leak out.”

“A voice blocking spell? “As expected of you First Order.”

It was really strange that they kept calling me First Order.

No to be honest it’s uncomfortable.

“First of all we need to improve the title. From now on don’t call me First Order.”

“yes?!”

At my words Sedina’s eyes widened saying she had heard the news as if it had been astounding.

It seemed like he wouldn’t make that kind of face even if the country were to fail without even the slightest lie.

“Are you trying to arouse unnecessary suspicion? I am now a teacher in Seorn. And you are a student.”

“yes yes. “It was like that.”

“From now on whenever you call me please call me Mr. Ludger.”

“How could I be so disrespectful….”

“It’s an order.”

“Order.”

When I strongly stated that it was an order she nodded that she understood.

However on the contrary to being happy his lips kept rising as if he was happy that he could call his name.

“So what’s the situation?”

“Oh yeah. Let me explain it all. “The recent werewolf incident was an incident that occurred in an affiliated organization that joined hands with our Black Dawn Society.”

I was momentarily taken aback by the sudden change in tone of voice but I naturally nodded.

“Keep talking. “Every detail.”

“As Master Ani Ludger knows factions exist even within the Black Dawn Society. In particular the person who pushed this project the hardest was Victor Dreadful another member of the First Order.”

“okay. “It was like that.”

Actually I don’t know anything.

I pretended to know everything and agreed with what she said.

Victor Dreadful. I need to remember.

“The Shamsus School which was created by bringing together back-alley warlocks and scientists who had been kicked out of the association for conducting unethical experiments began experimenting with cryptids as usual.”

“What exactly was the experiment mainly about?”

“Only a very few people know about it so I didn’t even go there… Oh by the way Mr. Ludger lent his name to Victor when he asked for help.”

“I only lent my name. “I never thought it would come back this far.”

Judging from his reaction it seems that Ludger was quite close to a person named Victor.

However it has become poisonous now.

The Shamsus school must have studied cryptids and the test subjects eventually escaped leading to the current situation.

“First of all it was their fault so I should have left them to deal with it but one of the escaped test subjects ended up hiding in Seorn through a sewer pipe.”

“So there was a victim the day before.”

“yes. “This was a situation that even we at the Black Dawn Society could not have anticipated.”

“….”

“Oh I’m sorry. I talk too much… I often make this mistake when I get excited. W: As expected something like me….”

Sedina Roshen’s attitude became noticeably more passive as if she had taken my staring at her with a different meaning.

I immediately shook my head.

“no. “Unlike his stuttering when we first met he was surprisingly good at explaining things so I was just impressed.”

“I just apologize.”

“You’re surprisingly good at speaking. Feel free to explain further. “It was good to hear.”

“Really?! yes All right!”

When I gave her a few words of praise Sedina immediately brightened up and continued her explanation.

I sighed in relief and said to myself “I’m glad.”

If he stops explaining I can’t get any more information.

Now when I was wearing the shell of the First Order and earning Sedina’s respect I had to pull out everything that needed to be pulled out.

‘It’s surprisingly easy to use.’

First of all Sedina Roshen is a member of the Third Order the lowest level in the Black Dawn but her abilities are quite outstanding.

From collecting information to continuing the explanation the conversation itself is continuous and quite smooth.

Sending me a secret message must have been one of her magic tricks.

But why did a guy with this level of skill end up only in the third order?

‘You’re going crazy.’

First of all the fact that Sedina has a last name means that her family is quite good.

‘A reaction that causes rejection when mentioning one’s last name in self-introduction. In other words he doesn’t like the family. Rejection? Feeling rebellious? Something much bigger than that.’

The problem is that although he may have joined the Black Dawn of his own volition it did not appear that way at all in the eyes of other members.

She may be a spy and she also has a personality with a screw loose so she may not have been able to get along well with the other members.

‘From secretly sending magic to me to being up-to-date on information to enrolling in Seorn. His position is low compared to his excellent abilities. Inside the organization they think it’s just something to be used and then thrown away.’

You can get a rough estimate just by looking at the fact that they sent it to me who is known to have a dirty personality as if he was in charge of it.

Sedina herself may be passionate enough to pledge allegiance to the Black Dawn dedicating her body and soul to it but the organization itself is not happy with her.

I guess I know this but I try harder but the situation doesn’t get better and I fall further into the quagmire.

‘From the Black Dawn’s point of view it’s like a scum of a bitch that I’d like to have but I’m not sure how to use it.’

no. There was no way a First Order-level executive would care about her in the first place.

They’re probably just going to use them like consumables for missions that require them to sacrifice their lives.

Even without looking her future is pictured.

‘Do you think the Second Order will take care of it?’

It was only a little while ago that I saw a crack carved inside Seorn during a meeting.

And at this moment.

I could also see cracks etched into the interior of the Black Dawn.

There is no perfect group in the world.

In the end all places where people live are similar.

‘Maybe this…’

With Seorn and the Black Dawn sandwiched between them I knew that both sides had significant problems so I felt like I could see a way out.

If we do it well maybe we can get something out of Sedina?

“Once you catch a test subject it is best not to leave any evidence behind. Capturing them alive is a priority but in a situation where the public is noisy now we have no choice but to eliminate them as quickly as possible. “There are 3 of them so we can do as much as we can…”

“no. “There are two.”

“yes?”

I took out the werewolf restraints that I had kept in my inner pocket and showed them to Sedina.

“This can’t be right….”

“One guy. “I already got it.”

“When on earth…”

“Two days ago. In Lederbelk.”

Her face became hazy as if she didn’t know that she had already caught one of the three.

“As expected of you First Order.”

It’s an expression of genuine respect.

I had maxed out reliability from the beginning but it feels like I’ve broken through even further.

“Anyway there are two left now.”

“Yes yes.”

“They said he hid here through a sewer pipe so we’ll have to expand the search to focus on that area. “I’m sure Seorun doesn’t know this information yet right?”

“Yes that’s right. But how many more days will it last?…”

“Then we should move right away.”

I said that and stood up.

Sedina looked up at me as if it were already over but immediately lowered her head as if she thought it was rude.

I lifted the sound barrier I had placed around me.

“Sedina Roshen. I heard the story well. “If I get a chance I’ll see you again next time.”

“yes yes! “Mr. Ludger.”

Sedina blushes shyly perhaps because she is embarrassed to say it herself.

When you look at it this way she looks like a fresh-faced girl of her age.

How did a child like this end up in a vicious organization called the Black Dawn?

Well you probably have your own circumstances.

“then.”

I left the cafe after finishing my coffee.

* * *

Flora Lumos had no classes today so she planned to go to the library and study leisurely.

Normally she would just joke around but recently she couldn’t sit still because of a teacher who sparked her passion for magic.

While thinking that I was walking through an outdoor corridor lined with long arched pillars.

‘uh?’

I saw a familiar face through the second floor window of a cafe not far away.

How could I forget?

The teacher teaching the class she is taking right now is that man.

Ludger Chelsea.

However there is something suspicious about the man’s attitude.

‘Who is the girl across from me?’

Ludger who seemed somewhat softer than usual was currently talking face to face with a female student.
