The Academy’s Undercover Professor – 246



◈ Episode 246: Director of Planning, Department of Magic (2)

“Leo. “What’s going on?”

Aidan who noticed that Leo’s expression was worse than usual asked cautiously.

Leo stared at Aidan.

“Oh what’s on my face?”

Seeing this idiot laughing and touching his face here and there made Leo burst into laughter without even realizing it.

“He’s usually oblivious but he’s only quick at times like this.”

“uh? what?”

“it’s okay. Anyway it’s no big deal.”

Leo had no choice but to act like that.

‘There’s no way I could tell you that I was related to the liberation army in the first place.’

Also asking for advice.

Asking for help was also impossible for him.

So I had no choice but to make any decisions alone.

‘Maybe it’s good.’

Leo honestly doesn’t like the Liberation Army.

I belong to this place but if I had to be honest I hate it.

They force fellow commoners to participate in the liberation army and accuse them of being stooges of the nobility if they do not do so.

An organization filled with hatred and anger rather than fighting for a greater cause.

In fact the Liberation Army was defined as terrorists who carried out bombings around the world.

Although they actually claim that it is a false instigation by high-ranking nobles to drive them away.

Leo knows that it’s not really a lie.

‘But that doesn’t mean I can go against their will.’

The reason Leo belongs to the liberation army is because his family is being held hostage.

If it weren’t for that I wouldn’t have joined the liberation army.

So should we step forward now and help other students out of danger?

Leo thought so and then shook his head.

‘Actually I’m fine with them no matter what happens.’

Leo hates the liberation army but he also hates the pretentious nobles just as much.

Stupid immature people who act like they are great even though they only met their parents well.

Nevertheless they look down on others based solely on their status without any respect for others.

‘If you really want to ask I don’t care how many of those guys die while fighting the liberation army.’

Leo looked at Aidan.

Even Tayce and Iona.

‘That can’t be possible.’

The friends you make because you are so negative about everything.

On the contrary I think that these friends are really too much for me such a social misfit.

Leo couldn’t bear the thought of these guys being caught up in what the liberation army was doing.

‘These guys have no sin.’

Leo ultimately had no choice but to make a choice.

‘I have to question that guy.’

When Leo made a promise to himself.

“….”

Iona stared at Leo with an expressionless face.

When students can’t hide their excitement about field trips.

Some of the teachers were literally in a state of extreme emergency.

“Holy shit!”

Hugo Bourtegue slammed his fist on his desk.

His assistant trembled with an anxious gaze.

‘That damn bastard is going to be the head of the planning department!’

It was annoying that he couldn’t stop it but the smile the president gave him at the end still remained in his mind.

That is the ridicule that the winner makes towards the loser.

The factional balance within Seorn that had been maintained for a long time was completely destroyed by this incident.

‘That damn bastard will definitely take action to keep our nobles in check.’

Ludger completely turned to the rector’s faction.

The meeting held today was initiated by the President and the President also put his efforts into Arcane Chamber’s thesis presentation.

Hugo who had been fuming for a while stroked his hair with his thick hand.

‘But it’s still okay. Even if he sits in a good position he will not be able to immediately fulfill the role of Director of Planning which has been vacant for a long time.’

As it is a high-ranking position the work is also intense and large in volume.

As the position was vacant there was a high possibility that it would not be handed over properly.

‘If you think about it it will take at least a few months to move in earnest. Until then we just need to be fully prepared for a counterattack.’

It was said that there were plenty of opportunities to get out of the way before Ludger prepared in earnest and attacked this side.

‘How well can I do my job as the head of the planning department? You can hold a committee meeting later and force him to resign due to lack of qualifications. Until then…’

“Mr. Hugo Hugo!”

Hugo who was trying to tell his teachers to be careful frowned when he saw the person who suddenly opened the door and entered.

“Something suddenly.”

“That thing…!”

“Don’t hesitate and speak quickly. “I’m already in a really bad mood right now.”

“Ludger Chelsea. “He’s on the move now.”

“what?”

Hugo thought for a moment that he had heard something wrong.

“That guy moved?”

“yes. So right now I’m going around the research labs to figure out whether the budget is being used properly…”

“This is crazy! “Why are you saying that now?”

When Hugo screamed the teacher who ran to inform him of the situation felt aggrieved.

‘no. ‘I came right away as soon as I found out.’

But I didn’t have the courage to question it.

“Maybe it’s better now than that? “It looks like they sharpened their knives a lot over there.”

“What can I do? What can I do!” Do you think I’ll just stay like this?!”

‘no. What are you going to do if I don’t stay still?’

The one holding the sword hilt is the opponent.

Even if I just bowed my neck and bowed down a lot it wouldn’t be enough so there was nothing good about getting out emotionally like that.

Of course Hugo didn’t know that either.

However it was impossible to suppress this boiling anger.

‘If I bow down and retreat from here he will become more energetic and try to bite me!’

There is nothing more dangerous to a person sitting at the top of an organization than being belittled by someone.

The moment when people below doubt your qualifications.

The strong fortress he has built so far will collapse like a sand castle.

‘It will never happen like that!’

Above all else Hugo didn’t think it was completely hopeless.

Since this side is also a part of Seorn’s axis I thought that even Ludger would not be able to easily bite it.

If they were going to do that they should have given enough warning in advance to prevent them from touching it hastily.

At least it was enough to make them realize that this was not an easy opponent.

“let’s go!”

“yes yes? Oh yes!”

Hugo got up and left the office.

Ludger looked at the documents in his private office.

Now that he has taken up the position of Director of Planning he has been given a new private office but for now he plans to work in his usual place of work.

‘Just by looking at it there are a lot of problems.’

The documents were materials that Ludger had brought with him while visiting various laboratories just a moment ago.

Sedina was still moving a lot of data whining.

Ludger lightly glanced at the contents of the document visible through his rimless glasses.

‘The self-audit evaluation is a mess. The budget numbers don’t even match. Since no thanks would come anyway they must have decided to do it among themselves.’

Where is that?

From the establishment of the department to budget constraints many things were done in a haphazard manner.

The personnel organization was a mess and most of the cases were passed on without proper review of the regulations.

‘No matter how vacant this position was it’s such a mess.’

I understood why President Elisa tried to fill this position in any way possible.

‘Obviously these are minor problems.’

But if those little things are scattered everywhere.

It is true that it becomes a problem then.

It’s not like water is leaking one drop at a time from one place there are holes all over the place so there’s no way it’s a problem.

From the president’s perspective this tragedy occurring all over Seorn must have been unbearable.

‘This is why we can’t simply close our eyes and overlook it.’

I tried to be reasonable as long as I sat down but I wasn’t so shameless as to remain silent after witnessing so many problems.

‘no. It’s better.’

It may be at the level of a needle thief now but there is no guarantee that it will be like this in the future.

It would be more beneficial to pull out all the buds beforehand.

‘At times like this if you work hard the president will like it.’

This gratitude is a kind of show of ‘sincerity’.

Therefore Ludger planned to select the particularly severe people from the list and punish them.

‘I did select people who were relatively evil.’

It was a time when I quietly stared at the familiar names on the list.

bang!

“Master Ludger Chelisi!”

The door burst open and Hugo Bourtegue came in with a grinning look on his face.

Behind Hugo were about three noble teachers.

“Huh? Now wait a minute! “If you come in without the teacher’s permission…!”

“Get out of the way!”

Hugo pushed Sedina who was blocking his path.

Sedina who was holding a pile of documents fell slightly backwards and the documents fell.

“Oh no!”

That was when Sedina shouted.

The documents that had fallen to the floor floated in the air and eventually flew to one side of Ludger’s desk and piled up.

magic.

That was also wind magic.

‘Piling up paper with the wind.’

It was incredible horsepower control even after seeing it.

How many people can handle wind magic in such detail?

It was the same with Hugo.

While trying to argue something he was left speechless by Ludger’s almost miraculous use of magic.

“so.”

Ludger who had piled up the documents neatly looked at the teachers including Hugo with a sharp gaze.

“Why did you barge into the teacher’s office without permission from me the owner?”

Hugo swallowed his saliva unconsciously due to the indescribable pressure.

He soon gritted his teeth at the fact that he had lost momentum.

“…I came here because I have something to tell my teacher!”

“If you had something to say you could have asked someone else to do it.”

“That’s because it’s something I have to say directly.”

“Are you going to bring someone else with you like that?”

Ludger said that and looked at Sedina.

Sedina quickly left her seat and went to the teaching assistant’s office.

Ludger took off the rimless glasses he was wearing took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the glasses.

“You didn’t show basic courtesy.”

“what?”

For a moment Hugo didn’t understand what Ludger was saying.

Immediately after his face turned red.

“How dare you now…!”

“How dare you.”

Ludger’s powerful voice cut off Hugo’s words.

“How dare you? “Then say what you want to say.”

“….”

“I know that the people behind him including Hugo Bourtegue have worked at Seorn longer than me.”

widely.

After cleaning all his glasses Ludger folded them up and placed them on the desk.

One of the noble teachers standing behind Hugo opened his mouth in displeasure.

“Then at least treat him appropriately….”

“You mean the treatment you deserve? “I’m doing this for you right now.”

“what….”

“If I hadn’t treated him like a senior in the industry I would have heard harsher words from him.”

At Ludger’s answer which was almost a provocation the teachers’ expressions which were already harsh became cruelly distorted.

“Is it as if you can’t see anything just because you’re sitting there? “If it weren’t for my position I wouldn’t have even been able to answer so shamelessly!”

“It was my own ability that earned me that position. And the person you just spoke of. “This is teacher Median Moren who is in charge of the second-year implementation department.”

When Ludger pointed out his name accurately Median widened his eyes with an expression that asked what to do.

Ludger wordlessly pulled out one of the documents on the desk.

A gentle breeze blew and soon it flew towards Median.

Median accepted it casually and widened his eyes when he saw what was written inside.

“You ordered a special metal with high magical conductivity that you needed for the class but the amount and quantity written on it did not match.”

“That…”

“He also serves as an advisor to the club but the club is made up entirely of noble students.”

“…is there any problem with that?”

“Originally it would not have been surprising if the club was shut down immediately due to lack of results but strangely enough it was maintained well. In addition it seems that the budget was not properly audited every year.”

At those words cold sweat broke out on Median’s back.

The other teachers were horrified by the sight but were relieved that it wasn’t them who were there.

“Are other people relieved that their names haven’t been mentioned yet?”

However Ludger had no intention of being considerate of the people who came this far.

When he pointed this out people who had internally sighed in relief trembled as if they had been stabbed.

“Did you think that the documents piled up here were simply for show to show that I was doing my job?”

“That thing….”

“There are many trivial things here that don’t even need to be pointed out and overlooked. “But it can’t all be seen as small.”

The teachers who came to protest those words felt horrified.

Hugo also felt that things were not going well.

“Look. “Mr. Ludger.”

“Mr. Ludger? Mr. Hugo Bourtegue. “Be careful what you say.”

“….”

“Currently I am sitting here as the Director of Planning.”

After saying that Ludger got up and said that it was a good time.

“It just so happens that you’re all on the list of people I’m keeping a close eye on.”

It wasn’t a list specifically aimed at Ludger.

They simply selected those who had committed more serious sins among many people.

But did the thief say that his feet were numb?

Amazingly the teachers who came to question him were all on the list.

“Look forward to it.”

Ludger spoke in a heavier voice.

“I don’t know how to do things in moderation.”
