    ◈ Episode 30: Those who see, those who solve (2)

    Ludger stood still and stared at the spot where the werewolf had been a moment ago.

    He burned it all without a trace with his own hands.

    There is even evidence that it is an experiment and not a werewolf.

    It was good to feel relieved.

    Because it’s over now.

    But Ludger’s mind did not relax at all.

    Until other teachers who lit up with magic from afar arrived at the scene one by one.

    Ludger stood still as if he were nailed to his seat.

    * * *

    The werewolf incident that caused an uproar at Seorn Academy ended with the new teacher Ludger Chelisi eliminating the werewolf.

    Several students wondered if this incident was simply an exaggerated rumor but since there were many witnesses who actually saw a werewolf such opinions were accepted.

    Rumors had already spread among the students that Ludger had a bloody fight with a werewolf on the roof of the building under the full moon.

    Students have already talked about this incident in <Akashic Records>.

    -Is it true that he was a real werewolf this time?

    -I actually saw that. The new teacher fighting a werewolf on the roof of the lab building was really cool.

    -Isn’t that a lie?

    -Actually I heard that part of the roof of the 3rd lab building was broken and there were signs of a fight.

    -and. So the new teacher really caught a werewolf?

    -I heard that even though he was a new teacher he was a former soldier? Then it is quite possible.

    -amazing.

    So there were questions about what on earth a werewolf was and where something like that appeared.

    Some even claimed the dark theory that werewolves were actually secret experiments somewhere.

    However in a situation where there were no clues such opinions were nothing more than gossip.

    Because that wasn’t the important thing.

    -ah. I got caught and got 5 penalty points.

    -me too. If this happens your academic warning will be a bit jeopardized.

    -huh. I have no problem with 5 points~. I got it from the store in advance~.

    -Where do you live?

    Most of the students who set out to catch the werewolf this time were caught and received demerit points.

    As many as 130 students out of all students.

    There was even a third grader among them so it was understandable that it was noisy.

    I set out to become a hero but instead of solving the problem I only received penalty points so most of the students were tearing out their heads in regret as to why I did that.

    The same was true for Aidan and Leo Tesey.

    “Ahh! It’s ruined! It’s ruined! “After all I got caught by Mr. Ludger!”

    Currently the three people had been called into the interview room for a meeting with the president.

    Aidan still had a serious expression on his face as if he was thinking deeply about something but Tacie was different.

    She was restless.

    We should never have allowed any loopholes in order to establish a family but instead of receiving compensation due to this werewolf incident we were properly punished by Ludger.

    Feeling indignant for no reason Taysey glared at Aidan then chewed her lip and roughly shook her head.

    I couldn’t blame Aidan.

    Because without Aidan she couldn’t be here.

    In the end it was Aidan who saved her by running away from the werewolf attack.

    ‘okay. I just couldn’t do anything at that time….’

    Feeling so foolish Teishi grabbed the hem of her uniform with trembling hands.

    About 10 minutes passed like that.

    The door to the interview room opened.

    The three Musketeers Aidan Leo and Taysy who were sitting in their seats jumped up.

    President. A woman with unusual hair color pure white on the outside but pink on the inside was entering the interview room with a bright smile.

    Following the president is a cool-headed man.

    It was Ludger Chelsea who had defeated the werewolf the night before.

    Ludger looked the same as usual.

    The attire was a long red coat rather than the black frock coat worn the previous day but the unwavering neatness was still there.

    “now. “All three of you sit comfortably.”

    At the president’s words the three people including Aidan looked at each other and sat down again.

    The president also sat at the empty head table.

    “Mr. Ludger please sit down too.”

    “I will stand here.”

    “Well if you’re comfortable with that. Now let’s get to the point. Do you understand why I called you three?”

    No one was quick to answer.

    But there was no one who didn’t know.

    There is only one reason why the three people gathered together. Because he was the closest person to witnessing a werewolf and was caught up in it.

    Teish who had no idea that he would be face to face with the president thought that Ludger was really determined and gritted his teeth.

    What does it mean that they did not just end up giving penalty points but even informed the president?

    Isn’t this a declaration that ordinary discipline will never end?

    ‘It’s ruined!’

    I desperately tried to hold back the tears that threatened to come out.

    It was kind of a mistake.

    She never forgot that she promised herself that from that day on she would never cry again.

    More than anything I was stimulated by the sight of Aidan and Leo sitting casually.

    “What happens to us?”

    Aidan spoke first. But even as he spoke Aidan’s gaze did not leave Ludger.

    “Why do you think I called you?”

    “…I don’t think they did it just to give penalty points.”

    “That is correct.”

    It was then that Ludger opened his mouth.

    “You three ignored Seorn’s warning and went into the forest putting yourself in danger. And it almost happened. “If the situation had gone just a little bit wrong someone here would have died.”

    The three people who felt like they were being stung for no reason kept their mouths shut.

    “As a result no one died but I thought it was important to know how serious your careless behavior was. “It is because of that that I made a suggestion to the president.”

    I realize how serious it is.

    No one would know that those words never had good intentions on this side.

    As a heavy atmosphere lingered in the interview room the president clapped with both hands.

    “now. Everyone don’t make faces like the world is falling apart. Think positively. And Mr. Ludger. “The words that scared the students were a bit harsh.”

    “President. “This is not something that can be overlooked.”

    “Of course thanks to Mr. Ludger’s efforts it ended without anyone getting hurt and it is also true that the students were complacent. But it ended well in the end right?”

    “…I don’t understand.”

    “Because they are still children. And even though he sounded intimidating Mr. Ludger explained it to me in quite detail. Aidan?”

    “yes yes!”

    When he was suddenly called Aidan hurriedly answered.

    “I heard the story. “You said you threw yourself out there to save Taysi who was in danger?”

    “Oh no that’s just…”

    “Competition among students is important but it is better to see them helping each other. And the two of them didn’t run away to protect Aidan.”

    As the words of praise flowed from the president’s mouth one by one bewilderment appeared on Aidan’s Leo’s and Taysey’s faces.

    Why is the president like that?

    “Your actions are clearly wrong. So after receiving Mr. Ludger’s opinion I decided to give each of you 10 penalty points.”

    10 points!

    A score of 10 not 5 is twice that of other students.

    It is certain that it will work against them.

    “but.”

    At that moment the president’s clear voice woke the three from their thoughts.

    “The actions you showed in that moment of crisis definitely deserve praise. So I’ll give the store 10 points to all three of you.”

    “yes?”

    “Is that really true?”

    10 penalty points. However in addition with the store receiving 10 points the penalty points virtually disappeared.

    The president’s words did not end there.

    “Aidan. In a moment of crisis you showed the courage to think of your colleagues before your own body. “I will give you 10 additional store points.”

    “omg!”

    “Leo. Even in urgent moments you did not forget to calmly assess the situation and deliberately left a trace so that others could follow.”

    “How did you do that….”

    “I’ll give you 10 extra store points for that. and Taycee Freeard.”

    “Yes yes!”

    “The courage to fight instead of running away when faced with a werewolf. Some people may say this is a fool’s errand but you probably realized something too. “I hope you can maintain that unwavering heart forever.”

    “yes yes! All right!”

    “In that sense I will give you 10 store points.”

    As a result the three people actually received more points than 10 penalty points.

    The president who was smiling at the three people who still couldn’t accept whether this was reality looked back at Ludger while sitting down.

    “You don’t have any complaints Teacher Ludger right?”

    “…If that is what the President wants.”

    Ludger took a step back and drew a line saying there were no differences of opinion.

    The president clapped his hands.

    “congratulations. Guys. “Please continue to work hard.”

    “Oh yes! thank you! President!”

    “But don’t push yourself too hard. ruler. It took too much time. “Everyone go back quickly.”

    The three students left the interview room feeling like they were still dreaming.

    Aidan who was the last to leave stopped and looked back at Ludger but Ludger didn’t even pay attention to him as he left.

    What was Mr. Ludger’s reaction at that time?

    Aidan left the interview room with unresolved questions.

    The door closed and only Ludger and the president remained in the interview room.

    “Ugh. Mr. Ludger. Are you satisfied now?”

    The president said that when the students had completely disappeared.

    “I was really surprised. “I can’t believe Mr. Ludger himself asked me to take good care of those children.”

    The president who was tilting his head back and shaking his legs glanced at Ludger with half-hearted eyes.

    “And you want me to do all of this just like I did.”

    “Because if you did what I did there it wasn’t a very good picture.”

    “i know. Are you saying good cops are bad cops? You call yourself a villain. “Aren’t you sad?”

    “We just chose the most efficient method.”

    “Oh really? Well he says he’s fine so I won’t ask any more questions than that. In the end it was a good thing for the students.”

    The president got up from his seat and walked towards the window where Seorn’s figure was visible and swept the transparent glass with his slender fingertips.

    “Mr. Ludger. “You said you dealt with the werewolf yourself right?”

    “yes.”

    “What did you see there?”

    “What do you mean?”

    “Wasn’t there something unusual?”

    Ludger’s expression did not change despite the president’s somewhat sharp words.

    “I didn’t feel anything like that.”

    “is it so?”

    “yes. I just chased the werewolf and eliminated it because I was afraid it was a threat to the students. Just like I did in the military.”

    “Hmm. Well then there’s nothing we can do about it.”

    The president didn’t ask any more questions. Ludger’s fight against werewolves while protecting students was already famous enough to spread throughout the school.

    “Anyway I have to thank Professor Ludger again. Thanks to that no one died.”

    “I just did my job.”

    “I like that confident attitude. Looking good in the future. “I’m looking forward to it?”

    Ludger bowed his head in silence.

    After finishing his conversation with the president Ludger returned to his office.

    Ludger sat down leaned against the back of his chair and recalled what had happened the night before.

    What he was surprised to see.

    The body of a baby werewolf hidden in fallen leaves that others could not find.

    It clearly belonged to a human child who had not grown animal fur.

    okay.

    It wasn’t a mistake.

    It was clearly the body of a human who had not yet become a wolf.

    ‘The School of Shamsus did not use wolves as test subjects to create werewolves.’

    Rather it was the opposite.

    They… used people as test subjects to create werewolves.

    Rather than introducing human genes into wolves they captured humans and forcibly mixed them with the elements of beasts.

    Now I can understand the strange behavior of the werewolf who threw away the broken pieces with his hands when he was in danger.

    I wondered why his head worked so well unlike a guy who shouldn’t be rational.

    Of course the werewolf cub would be a child.

    It must be the mother who blocks the cub’s path to protect it.

    ‘Was it family?’

    The three werewolves who made Lederbelk and Seorn a fuss were

    It was a family used as an experiment.

    A child and two parents.

    Just ordinary people caught up in an unfortunate incident.

    Ludger killed the three with his own hands.

    quietly

    Ludger curled his fist.

    ‘I have no regrets about my actions.’

    Even if he could go back then Ludger would have made the same decision.

    If he hadn’t done that he would have been in danger.

    All test subjects had to be destroyed and the link that linked this side had to be severed. There was no other way.

    And there have already been deaths due to werewolves.

    They say they had no choice but to survive but they killed and ate someone.

    So I killed him.

    okay.

    Obviously that’s enough.

    ‘pupil.’

    The clear eyes of the cub that licked its mother and finally looked back at itself.

    Even as he was using magic to kill himself the eyes he was looking at did not contain any reprimand or anger towards Ludger.

    Just one.

    Just gratitude for ending this horrible life.

    “….”

    Ludger stood up.
