The Academy’s Undercover Professor – 4



◈ Episode 4 The Great Train Attack (2)

“Get out of the way!”

“It’s a distraction!”

The wizards stood in a line pushing away the people blocking the entrance.

They glared at the man left alone in car number 4 with slightly nervous faces.

A black frock coat with gold thread worn over a neat suit that clings to the body.

Long black hair tied tightly at the nape of the neck.

Even sharp eyes that feel colder than the cold wind blowing outside.

Everything about it from its appearance to the energy it gave off was unusual.

In fact his compatriots who rushed in from the rear of the train died at his hands.

‘Who on earth is this guy?’

The terrorist who led the attack on the train frowned at the man in front of him.

I never would have guessed that there was a wizard like that on board this train.

Was it late to obtain information in advance?

‘no. It doesn’t matter what happens. There are only five wizards here.’

A large number of highly qualified people who had learned magic were recruited.

Even if there are internal security personnel they can be wiped out with overwhelming force.

I didn’t expect there to be a wizard but even so there was only one opponent. Even considering that their skills are outstanding they will no longer be able to respond once their number reaches five.

Moreover Mayhem who can be said to be the leader among the wizards here is a 4th rank wizard.

‘Unless your opponent is a famous wizard of at least 5th rank or higher you will never be able to respond.’

There are not many wizards with that level of skill on this entire continent.

Especially if he had achieved rank 5 or higher at such a young age rumors would have already spread.

In that case no matter how high the opponent is he is ranked 4th.

That is exactly the same number as our Mayhem.

The man in front of me probably knew that too so he didn’t try to use magic.

“hmm. There are five wizards. “It certainly is.”

“You’re surprisingly quick to agree. But it’s still too late.”

“In that case we have no choice but to change our methods a bit.”

The man said that and then threw himself out of the broken train the hem of his frock coat flying.

“Uh huh? “Did you jump?”

“Did you decide to commit suicide because you thought you couldn’t win?”

Puzzled terrorists.

One of them a wizard stuck his head out beyond the broken bulkhead to see if anything but he couldn’t see anything beneath the distant cliff.

“It looks like he fell to his death!”

“I thought you would do something but you were just a coward.”

The moment when everyone is about to come to that conclusion.

Push!

A flash of light passed through the head of the wizard who was sticking his head out.

The body which lost its balance tilted forward and fell outside the train.

“What the hell!”

“Hanson is dead!”

Dead? Why? Rather where did that flash come from just now?

While everyone was puzzled Mayhem the leader of the wizards looked up with his face distorted.

“We’re up! “He’s on the roof!”

“On a train? But didn’t you jump outside a little while ago?”

“Could it be that they used flight magic?”

“Is it possible to catch up with a moving train using flight magic and get on it?!”

“Make a lot of noise and chase after him!”

* * *

‘It’s a shame. I was going to take one more after I let my guard down.’

A loud noise coming from below.

Now that they have realized that I am alive they will try their best to kill me.

I pretended to jump hung on the wall and then climbed straight up to catch them off guard.

I have no choice but to be satisfied with taking one of the five wizards.

“Hurry up!”

“Kill him!”

Voices rang out between vehicles and then one by one they started climbing the ladder and climbing onto the roof.

But it won’t be that easy.

As if I had been waiting I shot tangible magical energy at them then turned my back and ran toward the vehicle behind them.

Those who tried to climb up had no choice but to go back down due to the attack passing over their heads. Climbing onto a roof without cover will only make you a target.

Thump thump thump thump.

As I ran intentionally making footsteps the guys waiting in the car heard the noise and followed me.

“Back! “He retreats to the rear vehicle!”

“Chase!”

It’s really easy to understand and follows along.

It seemed like getting rid of one wizard had quite a big effect.

Does this mean that even if we risk death and commit suicide we cannot tolerate the death of our colleagues at the hands of others?

It is truly a contradictory mindset.

‘I would be more grateful if you showed up emotionally like this.’

The more you do that the easier it becomes to shake it.

* * *

The terrorists split the crew in half to catch the wizard who escaped to the rear of the train.

Since the opponent is a wizard anyway unless they are the same wizard it will only be a hindrance.

Except for a few people who would assist the wizards the rest decided to target the first class of the first vehicle that had not yet been penetrated.

Of the two groups that separated from vehicle number 4 the wizard troops headed toward the rear.

“Damn it! “Where is it?”

“What about the compatriots who went up above? “Why aren’t you saying anything!”

“Anyway let’s go back!”

The moment I hurriedly took the lead and opened the door.

Quaaaang!

The door exploded and bright red flames engulfed the terrorists.

In an instant the five people turned into black charcoal and fell to the ground.

The magically created flame fulfilled its role faithfully and then went out like a candle.

“You wicked bastard!”

“You set a trap in front of the door!”

Mayhem the leader of the wizards sobbed as he looked at the bodies of his dead compatriots.

‘You set up a magical trap in front of the door in that short period of time?’

The speed was surprising but what made him more nervous was the other person’s behavior.

Usually the noble wizards he knows are imbued with arrogance from birth and are extremely reluctant to move their bodies.

When they use magic they always stand up and show off their magic as if others can see them.

But the man he was pursuing now did not.

‘As the situation seems to be unfavorable he runs away like a knife catches the opponent off guard and then launches a surprise attack. This can’t be the normal way of a wizard.’

It is overly practical and thorough.

Isn’t this a move closer to that of a mercenary or hunter rather than a wizard?

‘What kind of guy is…’

At first I thought he was just another wizard who killed his compatriot.

Anyway most of the people on this train were nobles or wealthy merchants.

They are all people who suck the blood of poor commoners and stand on top of them.

They were enough for anyone to die.

‘But he’s different.’

What on earth does this mean?

Mayhem who had been thinking so much opened his mouth with an even more serious expression.

“Everyone be careful. From now on we will take the lead. “I don’t know what kind of trap he may have dug so move as carefully as possible.”

“yes!”

The wizards led by Mayhem took the lead checking to see if there were any traps set up in the hallways or walls.

As a result a considerable amount of time was wasted every time I had to jump between trains.

“Don’t be impatient. “He can’t escape the end of the train anyway.”

In the end it’s like a rat in a poison.

It was clear that the guy had fled in the rear vehicle.

Mayhem the leader of the wizards walked slowly but suddenly stopped.

I felt a strange feeling that couldn’t be described in words.

I quickly realized why I was suddenly feeling this strange feeling.

Shake! Kiiiiing!

A loud noise echoed from the end of the train.

The moment the terrorists who were moving slowly heard the sound they instinctively realized something was wrong.

“Oops! Separate the train and run away!”

It was too late for me to realize it because my head was so hot.

In the first place there was no need for the opponent to fight this side. All I had to do was just bide my time and run away.

After using a trap to deliberately raise their awareness and take time.

He is trying to escape safely by quickly jumping to the last vehicle.

“Chase! “Don’t let him escape!”

Now they were in a hurry and the only thought they had was to chase down and kill the wizard who had run away in his sleep.

They hurriedly ran the train and eventually arrived right in front of car number 12 which could be said to be the last.

The moment they opened the door all they saw was a snow-covered mountain range and a railroad track not the sight of Car No. 12 as it should have been.

Mayhem gritted his teeth.

‘I made a mistake. I had to keep reminding myself that he didn’t need to fight us.’

My head was so hot that I overlooked that important fact.

Who would have guessed that the other person would decide to run away like this?

“Did I miss it?”

“That bastard. I remembered how to make a good impression. “I will definitely find you and kill you.”

When everyone is gritting their teeth and glaring outside.

Mayhem felt a powerful wave of magic coming from behind her and got goosebumps all over her body.

“What is this….”

He quickly turned his head and looked back.

And what I saw

It was the man who should have disappeared along with the separated car number 12.

“Why here…”

But what was important was not the existence of that man.

What he needs to pay most attention to is the magic that has been completed in front of him and is almost ready to be activated.

It was also a very vicious and dangerous type of elemental magic.

“Avoid everyone!”

Mayhem shouted and raised his magic power as much as possible.

In the limited time we raised our capabilities as much as possible and created a barrier of magical power as strong as possible.

Grumble!

Immediately afterwards a huge spell engulfed the entire car 11 and swept through the interior like a storm.

A dazzlingly white flame.

Embers of the same color as the snowstorm gently swirling outside.

It swept away all the terrorists who were unable to evacuate or react.

* * *

“Is it over?”

I muttered that as I watched the magic flame gradually disappear.

They thought I was going to run away in car number 12 and were focused on that.

That’s right. If you dig a trap to waste time and separate the vehicles in the meantime anyone will think so.

But that is also a trap.

At first they pretended to take time by surprise and ran away.

In the end running away was nothing more than a deception tactic to deceive them.

It also helped that their heads were really heated up.

Thanks to this I was able to take the flow and gather it all in one place like this.

‘It looks like there are still some left in the lead vehicle but it won’t matter since we took care of all the wizards.’

While I was thinking that something rose from the pile of rubble.

“You managed to survive.”

“You…”

The one who stood up was the leader who led the wizards. He may have defended himself by deploying a barrier at that moment but he was able to survive.

But that’s it.

His physical condition was so miserable that he was barely alive.

I tried to block it but I wasn’t able to completely block it so my face was half melted and my whole body was burned. Even one arm is missing.

Even breathing seemed painful so I figured I wouldn’t be able to endure it for long anyway so I decided to just leave it alone.

“Why on earth did you kill him? “Don’t you feel sorry for our compatriots who work hard for the world?”

“what?”

What on earth are you talking about? Isn’t this just too novel bullshit?

When I closed my mouth in bewilderment he glared at me with angry eyes wondering how he was taking it.

“Don’t you feel sorry for the people who died at your hands?”

“I thought they were crazy from the beginning but they were even crazier than I thought.”

“what?”

“Then why are you talking so loudly about attacking a train and killing all the passengers?”

This is why I am dumbfounded.

These guys attacked the train and killed every passenger on it.

These guys are gritting their teeth because their colleagues are dead and treating me like a bad guy but honestly it just annoys me.

“They were worth dying for!”

“Aren’t you the ones who tried to kill me in the first place? “We are already in a situation where we have to kill each other so why are you talking about how bad you are?”

“That…”

“If you tried to kill him but couldn’t you should die.”

“You… who are you?”

He gave up arguing and asked about my identity.

But I couldn’t answer that.

This is because he saw countless shadows flying towards us from beyond him.

Slurp.

The sound of a sword being drawn is eerily audible even in the swirling snowstorm.

A white flash of light flashed through the wide open back door and cut the wizard in half.

Suddenly!

A solid line is drawn from the crown of the head to the groin. And the moment the pure white shadow jumped over the wizard and landed on the ground his body split apart and fell on both sides.

No blood flowed from the corpse. Because the cut section was frozen solid with pure white ice.

What can be seen beyond the fallen corpse is the figure of a female knight flapping a pure white cloak.

“Are you okay?”

I nodded my head in response to the woman looking around and asking worriedly.

The pattern on the shoulder epaulet is the shape of a pure white eagle.

It was the sign of the border guard knights in charge of protecting the empire.

“Don’t worry now. “Because our border guards came forward.”
