The Academy’s Undercover Professor – 32



◈ Episode 32 A step toward the truth (1)

Ludger headed to the entrance of a secret testing facility decorated with large wastewater pipes.

It looked real with rust everywhere and a foul odor but that soon changed as we went a little deeper.

The interior walls become cleaner and even the odor disappears.

Quickly.

A sound like that came from beyond along with a soft scarlet light.

Ludger immediately killed his presence and moved slowly.

“under. I’m so bored to death. “How much longer do we have to stay now?”

“Well that’s fine. “There are still more than two days left so shouldn’t we wait a little longer?”

“Why would those damn test subjects escape?”

“It might be okay because we haven’t been caught up yet. “Just in case I try to organize everything and leave.”

“Still it’s better to stand guard like this. “It’s a mess inside right now trying to organize the equipment.”

“It’s shift time soon anyway.”

“Oh. “If only those bastards hadn’t escaped.”

Ludger leaned his back against the wall and listened to the conversation between the two.

The two who were bored just standing guard at the entrance didn’t stop chatting.

“I was outside at the time. How did that happen? Did I mismanage it?”

“I guess there was a mistake. They say that the kidnapped kid didn’t receive much treatment so he became less cryptid. “I think it’s probably because I’m young.”

“so?”

“So what? So when I tried to drag him out to administer more experimental drugs he met resistance.”

“I heard that taking that drug is very painful. Is it true?”

“I guess that’s what happens when you see them screaming. But the problem is that the parents made a fuss there.”

“what? Parents? “You tried to protect your cub even though you were already a werewolf?”

“okay. Even scientists had no idea that reason still remained. “They struggled harder than expected so the inside became a mess.”

“Damn. Is that why they escaped? “Then isn’t it a bit dangerous?”

“Fuha! The risk is crazy. don’t worry. I already heard that you asked a trustworthy person about that. Anyway if I had been there at that time that kid would have stepped on me a lot. “You made us suffer like this.”

I see.

Ludger felt no need to overhear their conversation any longer.

Because I knew how the situation went.

Slosh.

The two people who had been chatting at the sound Ludger made as he stepped on the water that had accumulated on the ground immediately closed their mouths and stared in this direction.

“what. “Who is there?”

“Aren’t you a rat?”

Magical lights were shining around the entrance but the place where Ludger was standing was relatively dark and invisible.

The two men took out guns from their waists.

But even faster than that two rays of light flew out of the darkness and pierced between their eyes.

Sigh! Sigh!

The two people guarding the entrance collapsed in their seats without even being able to scream.

It happened in the blink of an eye.

Ludger slowly walked out of the darkness.

Leather boots that came up to his shins a gray vest with black pants full of pockets and a shabby brown coat over it.

He had a black bandana wrapped around his face that went up to his nose and a hood that went down to his forehead on top of his head.

Ludger walked past the corpse with quiet steps like a ghost and headed inside the secret laboratory.

And not long after he went in.

A scream echoed from inside.

* * *

“Ugh! “Help me!”

A man patrolling near the entrance desperately ran away from a monster that emerged from the darkness and killed all of his companions.

I don’t know where this guy suddenly appeared.

Because he suddenly appeared like a mirage and instantly killed his colleagues who were patrolling with him.

‘What did those bastards guarding the entrance do?!’

The moment I thought that my vision turned over.

“uh?”

The body tilted and fell forward. There was no strength under my shins.

“Why on earth?”

He looked down at his legs and only then did he realize.

Both of his legs were cut off below the shins.

The moment I recognized it pain came to me later.

“Whoosh!”

He gritted his teeth and glared at the darkness behind him.

Beyond the huge passageway all the lights were turned off and it was pitch black.

Footsteps were heard there.

A chill ran down my spine and the hair on my entire body stood up.

It’s a guy.

An intruder who suddenly appeared and killed all of his colleagues.

The guy had already followed him.

Jeez.

The intruder slowly emerged from the darkness.

He appeared through the black curtain but his identity was unknown because his face was covered tightly.

However looking at his sturdy physique it was clear that he was a man.

He warned in a trembling voice.

“You you. Did you think you would get away with touching us? “I don’t think you know who’s in there but you’re finished now.”

The man had no reaction.

Rather the eyes seen through the shadows on the hood became sharper.

My lips were dry and my throat was burning.

The moment I was wondering whether I should beg for my life a large number of people came rushing in from across the aisle.

“think! “The sound came from here!”

From afar mercenaries were seen approaching this direction with magic lanterns.

They were all carrying firearms and among them a heavily armed man stood out.

The man shouted as he discovered his comrade who had come to save him.

“hey! This way! This way! ha ha ha! You are finished now! “It’s like a beehive in a narrow street like this… Wow!”

Ludger thrust a dagger into the mouth of the chattering guy. When the dagger was pulled out blood splattered and the body fell to the side.

It was at that time that the troops that came in at the right time discovered Ludger.

“There it is! “Shoot it!”

Perhaps because they were well-trained troops they immediately pointed their guns at Ludger without even asking him what he was.

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

“Shoot!”

I immediately pulled the trigger but there was no shot fired.

“uh?”

“What is it?”

Crash. Crash.

No matter how hard I pulled the trigger the bullet did not come out. It was not the gun itself that was broken but the gunpowder that had failed.

A trickle of cold sweat ran down the cheek of the captain who had given the order to shoot.

He knew of these cases through his own experience.

“[Silence of fire]! “He’s a wizard!”

As the world changed a considerable amount of time passed since weapons using gunpowder appeared.

But despite this wizards and knights maintained their position as one of the greatest forces in the world.

There is one reason.

This was because guns were not a threat at all to knights and wizards.

Knights with superhuman physical abilities could easily dodge or cut down ordinary bullets.

On the other hand wizards didn’t need to do that.

Because the magic they use called [Silence of Fire] made that possible.

[Silence of Fire]

It is literally a magic that suppresses the performance of gunpowder within a certain range focusing on the wizard.

Its power makes it possible to neutralize even machine guns when used by a 3rd level wizard.

If used by a level 5 player the cannon can be neutralized.

If it is used by a 6th rank Lexorer level wizard the game of war will change from then on.

That was why wizards and knights were able to maintain their positions even when the age of guns and gunpowder came.

However the magic that Ludger can use is limited to the 3rd level.

Then Ludger realized that he could not go any further and made up for the shortcoming by strengthening his existing magic.

When a typical 3rd tier wizard uses [Silence of Fire] the maximum effective range is 20m.

And the effective range of [Silence of Fire] used by Ludger is.

──It has a radius of 200m.

“Holy shit! “Everyone pull out their swords!”

The judgment of those belonging to the Shamsus school was quick.

They threw away their useless firearms and immediately took out their swords and clubs.

Fazizik.

An electric current passed over the club.

Ludger looked at that and raised both hands.

Each of his hands held a revolver.

“How stupid! If you use [Silence of Fire] your weapon will be useless…!”

Pow!

The man who was laughing at Ludger fell backwards blood spraying from between his eyes.

Everyone watched the scene with pale complexions.

What just happened?

“What?”

“How on earth…?”

Ludger clearly fired the gun. But what he fired wasn’t a bullet.

magic.

To be exact a bullet of magical power.

Therefore there was no sound when firing the gun and it was not affected by the silence of the fire itself.

“this person…!”

“Did you hope for an equal fight?”

Ludger laughed at the soldiers and fired magic bullets at random.

Ta-ta-ta-tang!

However although it seemed like he was firing roughly the gun was aimed precisely between the eyes and hit his head.

In an instant blood and screams were rampant.

“You idiots! Everyone get out of the way!”

A large figure dressed in huge armor came to the front. The reinforced armor made of black synthetic metal easily deflected the magical bullets fired by Ludger.

It was an external suit called reinforced armor created with the advancement of engineering.

Although it was slow it was very sturdy and produced tremendous power so it was used exclusively against knights.

That might be a bit annoying.

“asleep!”

A large man wearing reinforced armor spread his arms wide and rushed towards Ludger.

The sight of him stomping and walking gave off an intimidating feeling like a tank rushing by.

Ludger was not embarrassed or scared.

After retrieving the raised revolver he took out two crescent-shaped karambit daggers from his waist and held them.

“You want to engage in close combat with a wizard?”

The moment he shouted like that and stretched out his arm to grab Ludger’s collar Ludger’s new form collapsed and disappeared.

what? Where have you disappeared to?

The moment the man in reinforced armor was taken aback by the sight a terrifying pain shot through his forearm.

Blood spurted out from the gaps between the armor and the armor.

“Aaaah! “What the hell!”

The sword was inserted precisely between the seams of the armor.

“How on earth? No it was so fast that I couldn’t even see it…”

The moment I tried to move my left arm there was no strength in it.

This was because something cold and sharp passed under my armpit.

“What…”

Next was both ankles.

Before he could come to his senses the tendons in both his legs were cut and he fell to his knees.

And finally.

A cold touch touched my neck.

“Save me…”

Sigh!

Ludger did not listen any further and slit his throat with a karambit dagger.

“shit! Gabe got hit!”

“Get out of the way! “I’m coming!”

This time it was a slightly different type of reinforced armor.

He was wearing brass armor that was more yellowish than black and white steam was billowing out from behind both shoulders.

A reinforced exoskeleton made from a steam engine.

What he was holding in both hands was a huge gun barrel and the end of the barrel was connected to a large Tesla coil hanging behind his back.

“asleep!”

Let’s go!

A purple electric current engulfed the passage. The Tesla gun’s high-voltage current which could not be suppressed by [Silence of Fire] spread in all directions and sparks flew.

“Hahaha! How do you feel?”

But he couldn’t help but stop laughing.

It was as if the high-voltage current he had fired was blocked right in front of Ludger’s nose and he was unable to move forward.

“What?”

No more precisely it was reacting to a metal rising in front of him and seeping into it.

Is that metal magic with a touch of alchemy?

Could it be that he was someone who used metal among the elements?

It’s a disaster. The Tesla Gun which shoots high-voltage current does not work on wizards who use metal elemental magic.

I realized that but it was already too late.

The revolver Ludger pulled out again shot out magical power.

It hit the Tesla gun’s muzzle exactly and exploded.

Let’s go!

Electricity spread in all directions and everyone nearby was completely burned to the ground.

The only survivor who managed to survive leaned his back against the wall and glared at Ludger who was slowly approaching towards him.

Half of his body was already charred and he was barely able to breathe.

“Huh. Huh. This crazy guy. “Why are you doing this to us?”

I felt it was unfair so I argued with him but Ludger didn’t even reply and just passed him by.

don’t kill

Since I couldn’t survive in that condition anyway I was thinking of leaving it in pain for a longer time.

‘How many people have you dealt with so far?’

Approximately twenty people.

There were still about half of the troops left inside.

And seeing as it wasn’t coming towards this direction it was clear that it was preparing to greet him from the inside.

More than anything I felt eyes on me.

Eyes flying from the cracks in the pipes that filled the wall.

The eyes were clearly searching this way.

‘Is this black magic using bugs?’

I said there were two warlocks inside.

I heard that some warlocks can explore areas that are difficult for others to see through the bug’s shared vision.

He’s probably the one watching right now.

“Whoa.”

Ludger exhaled lightly lifted his right foot and rolled it lightly on the ground.

Tung.

The noise of his boots hitting the floor.

It became a wave and spread inward widely and deeply.

* * *

Inside the laboratory.

There the scientists could not help but tremble with great anxiety.

“Is this okay? “We must immediately destroy the data and take the experimental drugs…”

“Oh I guess it’s okay.”

The person who stopped the weak scientist was a blond man with a tattoo on his neck.

They were wearing fairly light clothes but they didn’t have any weapons so it looked like they were out on an outing.

However no one knew that this man was the most influential warlock in this laboratory.

The same goes for the large bald-headed man standing silently next to him.

The bald man’s name is Veron.

The blonde man’s name is Bruno.

Although they were not related by blood the two were warlocks with a reputation even in the underworld where they were called the Bug Brothers.

“After all there is only one opponent.”

His younger brother Bruno shared the information that confirmed it was a bug.

okay.

Surprisingly there was only one intruder.

There was only one guy who single-handedly wiped out two soldiers in reinforced armor and armed with firearms.

“Who on earth…”

“Well we don’t know either. “Maybe the Imperial Security Service has noticed us.”

“Bo Security Department!”

Security Bureau.

An organization comprised only of the empire’s elite.

Among them there is one knight order belonging to the Security Bureau.

Nightcrawler Knights

Of course they are a little different from ordinary knights.

The scary thing about them was not only the power of each individual but also their cruelty using any means to achieve their goals.

Although he is a knight he does not act as stubbornly as other knights.

Rather they kill themselves by thoroughly digging into the other person’s weaknesses.

These are people who can mercilessly kill children as young as three years old if they determine that they are harmful to the country.

It was no wonder that he was called the devil of the back world.

“But the way you fight is a bit strange.”

I wanted to check further with bugs but I don’t know what kind of trick he was using but all signals from the bugs I sent were cut off.

I wonder if he noticed me watching him.

Not only did I come alone but I’m not an ordinary person.

“brother. “I need to get ready.”

“okay.”

My older brother Veron stood up. The subordinates guarding the laboratory also held up their shields and weapons in great tension.

A passageway leading from the entrance to the center of the laboratory.

It was at that time that I stared intently at that place and was ready to greet the intruder.

Ugh!

Strange waves swept through the interior of the laboratory and soon all the lights went out and darkness fell.

“What! “Hurry up and turn on the lights!”

“Turn on the spare power switch!”

Bruno his younger brother looked at his older brother as he watched his subordinates moving urgently.

“brother. “I think he did some trick.”

“….”

“brother?”

There was no answer from Veron.

Bruno looked back at Veron. Even in the dark his large figure was clearly visible in silhouette.

That Veron silhouette.

The head was cut off and rolled around on the floor.
