The Academy’s Undercover Professor – 33



◈ Episode 33 A step toward the truth (2)

“Holy shit! brother!”

Bruno reacted immediately after confirming that Veron’s head had been cut off.

Countless insects wriggled from the crevices of his clothes.

Bruno quickly shook his head.

‘What he used was sound waves. And they even used metal.’

Attribute elements are divided into a total of 10.

<Fire> <Water> <Wind> <Earth> <Plants> <Electricity> <Metal> <Ice> <Darkness> <Light>.

And unknown properties that have not yet been revealed.

In the case of sound magic it was often seen as a derivative of the wind element because it used the vibrations of the atmosphere.

And what Ludger used to block the Tesla Gun was <metal> attribute magic.

‘Metal is an element derived from the earth. The attribute elements that can usually be handled are composed of only similar series.’

According to Bruno there were three elemental magics used by Ludger: <Wind> <Earth> and <Metal>.

Usually wizards have about 2 to 3 attributes that they can handle.

No matter how capable you are you can only have 4.

Starting from 5 it can be said to be an area of ​​innate talent.

As a result wizards basically base their opponents on three elements.

Because that was basic common sense and obvious.

‘If it’s the wind element small flying insects are not a good match. In that case I guess I’ll have to use the big guy to solve it.’

Just in case the possibility of Ludger handling the fourth element was not ruled out.

What stuck out from Bruno’s sleeve was a huge centipede with a thick carapace.

It was a bug that could not be found in the normal ecosystem created through black magic and subspecies crossbreeding of a unique individual caught from the southern jungle.

However the head of the centipede that Bruno pulled out was cut off in an instant.

It took less than a second for that sharp sword to aim for his neck.

“Ugh!”

Bruno was able to twist his body and block Ludger’s blade.

Hard scarabs were wrapped around his body hidden beneath his clothes like chainmail.

‘You’re engaging in close combat? Could it be that he is a War Mage?’

Bruno immediately tried to distance himself from Ludger.

At that moment a magic formula was engraved on Ludger’s front.

Bruno’s eyes widened.

‘That’s [a roiling flame]!’

Comma A magical technique that resembles a blazing flame engraved in just a few seconds.

Fluctuating Flame a third-tier fire elemental magic emitted intense flames in less than a second and engulfed Bruno.

“Kaaaaak!”

With Bruno’s scream flames erupted and the surroundings became bright. The soldiers who had been staring at the entrance looked back and widened their eyes.

“That’s the enemy!”

“How on earth!”

But in the meantime Bruno twisted his body from the intense heat.

The most difficult magic for those who handle bugs is definitely the fire attribute.

You’re dealing with elements that are completely unrelated to the other three systems.

It was unbelievable.

“How on earth?”

Although he barely escaped his life by getting rid of all the bugs Bruno’s condition was not very good.

With his entire body burnt and half of his face melted he collapsed in his seat and stared at Ludger.

I thought I wasn’t letting my guard down but I didn’t expect that we would be on the same level as this side.

“Who on earth are you?”

“….”

pop!

Instead of answering Ludger pulled out a revolver and blew off Bruno’s head.

At the same time backup power was activated and light returned inside the laboratory.

“Huh!”

“Brother Burr Bug is dead.”

The soldiers in charge of security inside were at a loss as they saw the bodies of brothers Bruno and Veron.

Even if they all worked together it would all be taken care of by one of the brothers but the intruder single-handedly defeated all of the brothers.

The soldiers lost their will to fight.

There’s no way I could fight a monster like that.

As everyone was backing away from Ludger in fear a change occurred in the corpse of Veron who had fallen with his head cut off.

Boom!

“…!”

Ludger responded immediately. The moment I threw my body forward a huge hand scratched the space where Ludger had been a moment ago.

It was the front leg of an insect with a smooth carapace full of sharp thorns.

Everyone else who was watching the scene was dumbfounded.

“Isn’t he dead?”

Ludger asked that while looking at Veron who was shaking and moving.

Veron’s decapitated body rose again. What struck Ludger a moment ago was his grotesquely deformed right hand.

Veron held out his left hand which was still in human form.

The palm had a mouth.

“I was surprised. “I never thought I would be attacked like this.”

“…is it insectification?”

“oh. Did you know?”

Bruno handles bugs.

On the other hand his older brother Veron was so big that he didn’t even handle bugs. But then I wondered why on earth they were called bug brothers.

‘Is that something like that?’

Veron was a warlock whose body itself mutated into a kind of bug.

Since there is no way for a body like that to change naturally he was actually using his own body as an experiment in black magic.

Veron gave a clear example of why warlocks are full of crazy crazy people.

“Even so I never thought I would be fine even though my head was cut off.”

“My body is no longer that of a normal person.”

At the same time as saying ‘Kuddeuk!’ With a creepy sound Veron’s body changed.

The black robe surrounding his body expanded and soon countless thorns came out.

Ludger stepped back.

Veron who was already huge became even bigger and was looking down at Ludger.

A hideous monster that looks like a mixture of several insects.

At this point I couldn’t tell if it was a warlock or a cryptid.

[You killed your little brother. It’s not sad but I still have to take responsibility for it.]

Veron’s arms seemed to be pulled back and shot toward Ludger like arrows.

Ludger immediately flew upward using the wire launcher.

Veron’s stab passed under Ludger’s feet and the soldiers lined up behind him were pierced by it.

“Ugh!”

“Run away!”

Even though his men were screaming and dying Veron did not care.

[this. I want to make a move. There are literally no flying insects.]

Veron raised his head and tried to look for Ludger.

Kugugoong!

At that moment the steel structures on the ceiling collapsed and fell on Veron’s head.

Kugwagwang!

Even though a considerable weight of rebar fell Veron was unharmed. There were only a few scratches on the carapace but no injuries.

[Did you plan on attracting attention with something like this?]

Veron turned his now gigantic head and looked at Ludger who was lowered to the ground on a wire.

Although it was clearly a provocative action Ludger showed no particular reaction.

‘It’s becoming a nuisance.’

Veron’s body has already gone beyond the realm of an ordinary bug.

Because of its enormous size and the hard shell surrounding its body it was no wonder that it was called a monster that surpassed that of a warlock.

‘This is why they are warlocks.’

Ludger attempted to fire his revolver but stopped and retrieved all of his weapons.

I realized that even if I shot it with a hundred blades it wouldn’t work.

[oh. Are you giving up?]

Veron laughed at Ludger’s behavior but Ludger instead stretched out his hand toward Veron.

[What are you trying to do?]

Ludger’s action of extending his arms in this direction not only stimulated Veron’s curiosity but also aroused his discomfort.

Are you trying to use some kind of magic?

However it is virtually impossible to hit the current Veron unless it is a level 4 or higher magic.

In his judgment Ludger was a third-tier wizard.

The speed of the magic’s development was strangely fast but that was it.

I didn’t think that Ludger would be able to deal a real blow to me.

It’s not a bad idea to be a little generous and take a look to see what this cute intruder is up to.

Veron decided that way.

“I didn’t want to use this in this situation.”

[hmm?]

“There’s nothing I can do about it.”

No sooner had Ludger finished speaking.

The interior of the laboratory was filled with pure white light.

* * *

“Write it. Phew. “It’s still chilly.”

Hans who was waiting for Ludger outside the abandoned factory put his hands in his pockets and shivered in the still cold night air.

It’s already been 30 minutes since Ludger went inside.

‘Now it’s time for it to end.’

Although Ludger did not make any effort to show it Hans realized that he was quite angry.

Actually I would have done the same.

These guys are kidnapping a 7-year-old child and his parents and using them as human experiments.

No matter how dishonest he may be there is a ‘line’ that even people who do such things must follow.

The school of Shamsus crossed that line too far.

‘It’s a little late. Was it difficult having two warlocks?’

Especially if the warlocks are guys with their own name the Bug Brothers.

But Hans didn’t think Ludger would die.

How many years have we known each other?

Ludger is a person who would have been dead long ago.

There’s only one thing that I didn’t do.

That means he is strong.

‘I don’t think I show it off much.’

Wasn’t he the one who hunted the monster of Jevaudang alone when he was working as a hunter in the first place?

The number of knights eaten by that monster was more than five. Ludger hunted it alone.

Ludger was not only a hunter whose identity was ‘Abraham Van Helsing’.

Private investigator.

Phantom thief.

Crime consultant.

mercenary.

artists etc.

He has many faces and the masks he has worn in the past have always caused quite a stir.

Flash!

Just when I thought the timing was right an intense light that hurt my eyes emitted from the entire abandoned factory.

Grumble!

At the same time the light turned into flames turning the abandoned factory into a sea of ​​fire.

A terrifying force that blew up a large factory.

Hans knew very well whose work it was.

‘I wrote that.’

Hans himself referred to it as that but in fact he doesn’t really know what kind of ability that is.

I once asked Ludger about this.

All that came back at that time was the strange answer ‘Real magic.’

‘If it’s magic it’s magic but what is real magic?’

In any case the fact that Ludger used that probably meant that the opponent was not formidable.

And that means Ludger was sincere as well.

* * *

Ludger packed the materials in the laboratory and the experimental drugs used on the test subjects into a suit case and came out.

Hans who was waiting outside greeted him.

“Are you here? Let’s get out of our seats first. It was done so extravagantly that the police would raid even an abandoned factory. “What’s inside?”

“Everything has been taken care of.”

After defeating Veron Ludger checked deep into the laboratory.

The sight of terrible test subjects locked in iron cages in the dark.

They were all ordinary people going about their daily lives.

But their daily lives eventually fell apart.

Those who suffer as their bodies mutate lose their reason and cross boundaries that make it difficult to call them humans anymore.

The only mercy Ludger could give them was to let them go without suffering.

Ludger blew up the entire laboratory killed the scientists and took their research reports and experiment results.

“Is this it?”

Hans asked looking at the ampoule filled with red liquid inside the suit case he received from Ludger.

“okay.”

“The world has become so scary. I never would have thought that there were people conducting human experiments on people in a place like this. “I never imagined that so-called scientists and inventors would join hands with a warlock.”

“It’s not just that.”

“yes? “What else is there?”

“How do you think they saved such a large secret laboratory?”

“that….”

“There is someone who provided a huge amount of money behind the scenes.”

“…I guess that’s not a normal thing.”

It wouldn’t normally take money to build a laboratory like that without anyone knowing.

It was said that there was a lot of support behind them.

“Don’t worry. “Because I already know who it is.”

“Is that true?”

“okay.”

Ludger’s answer made Hans feel uneasy.

“Brother no way.”

“why.”

“Well… isn’t it?”

Ludger didn’t ask what it was. I just stared at Hans once.

ah.

I can never stop that.

Hans who realized immediately accepted the suit case.

“I will go to the hideout first. “If you want to stop by after work please come.”

Hans left the place without hearing Ludger’s answer.

Ludger stood still for a while.

The bright red flames of the factory burning in the distance brightly illuminated the dark abandoned factory area.

It was like a candle burning most splendidly just before it went out.

* * *

“Did you bring something like this as food?”

Clink!

Inside a gorgeous mansion. Rich man Bellbot Rickson threw down the plate containing the food the maid had brought him.

The maid who was hit by it fell to her seat bleeding from her forehead.

The food on her plate stained her clothes and face.

But no one could support or help her.

An old man in his 60s with a long white beard glared at the maid in disgust and clicked his tongue.

“Did they serve something like this as food? “They’re like trash who can’t pay the price properly even if you give them money.”

Bellbot got up and left the restaurant.

He was a man who stood tall as a very successful capitalist in the changing times.

But when he achieved success the bellbotry in the mirror was an old man full of wrinkles.

He ultimately sacrificed his youth to get to this point.

So I wanted to regain that youth.

So I supported the warlocks conducting some kind of experiment.

Recently I heard that some of the test subjects escaped and the experiment was disrupted.

Damn it! You idiots! You bastards!

How much money do you think I invested in you guys?!

Bellbot returned to his room angry in his mind.

‘Still the experiment itself was not meaningless. ‘The proper results will come out soon.’

A medicine that will restore the weakened human body to its prime.

The elixir of youth is not far away.

It’s not just about getting younger it’s about becoming healthier and stronger.

While thinking that it was the moment when he was about to turn on a light in his large dark room.

“Belboat Rickson.”

“What?! “Who are you?”

There was someone in the center of the room.

Bellboat tried to turn on the magic light but for some reason the light did not come on.

In the darkness where there is no moonlight Bellbot is trapped in a room alone with an unidentified intruder.

“Branch guard! expenses!”

“Even if I call you you won’t hear me.”

Because there was already a sound barrier in place in the room. Of course since this is the home of a wealthy person if you use magic like this an alarm will go off right away.

Ludger’s magic was so secret that it was not even affected by alarm magic.

Ludger who was sitting in a chair stood up.

And then he slowly approached the bellboat.

“Belboat Rickson. “Let me ask you something.”

“What is it? Who are you! Reveal your identity!”

“A 7-year-old child desperately tries to survive in this terrible reality while seeing himself and his parents become monsters.”

Quack!

Ludger stretched out his arm and grabbed Bellbott’s collar bringing it close to his face.

His eyes glowed red in the darkness.

“How do you think it would feel for someone who knows that but has no choice but to burn them to death?”
