The Academy’s Undercover Professor – 43



◈ Episode 43 Framework

“Flora Lumos. What on earth is going on here? “And you’re just loitering around the door killing me like a thief.”

At Ludger’s point Flora jumped up from her seat cleared her throat and brushed off the dust from her school uniform skirt.

Her forehead where Ludger hit her when he opened the door was still red but she tried to pretend she was okay and opened her mouth.

“Hmm. Nice to meet you Mr. Ludger. “I just came here because I wanted to ask you something.”

Arrogantly. Elegantly.

I acted like I was repeating it to myself but I couldn’t hide the subtle trembling in my voice.

Ludger was about to point it out but decided to ignore it.

“If you have questions related to the content of the class you can come at any time but there would be no need to wait outside like this.”

“no. Not that one. “First of all I would like to express my gratitude to Professor Ludger.”

“Thank you?”

“You saved me from almost going crazy when I failed that… magic.”

When I asked why he came I was wondering if it was because of that.

But you came to say thank you?

As Ludger stared with a look of surprise Flora became upset.

“why? “Why are you looking at me like that?”

“It’s nothing.”

“Sii.”

Perhaps because she had never expressed her gratitude to someone like this before Flora felt very awkward about herself.

Saying this made my skin feel itchy but I was determined to say it anyway.

“Thanks to that I didn’t get hurt either.”

“I just did what I had to do as a teacher.”

Ludger’s voice spoke so sharply that it seemed as if he was saying that he did not feel any selfishness at all.

Although Flora seemed fortunate it also strangely hurt her pride.

Anyway isn’t it okay to ask if this is okay too?

He seems like a man who cannot find any sense of sensitivity even after washing his eyes.

Still since I was here to apologize I decided not to complain.

“And… I don’t think what the teacher said is particularly wrong.”

She sighed twisting the side of her head with her fingers.

Ludger thought carefully about what else he said.

Isn’t that wrong?

And immediately I realized what she was talking about.

I’m guessing he’s referring to the fact that he nagged me about using nested element magic.

-Use meaningful magic. Don’t lower your value.

Was that it?

“I wish I knew.”

“…Is the teacher okay?”

Ludger wiggled his eyebrows in response to Flora’s question.

“What do you mean?”

“It’s not like you used up a lot of magical power. I was exhausted from trying to suppress my magic but didn’t you have a harder time than me? “Usually in something like this the person helping you carries a burden that is several times greater.”

“It’s nothing.”

Ludger said that but in fact he almost fainted from exhaustion of mana.

It was a shame because I had prepared a magical power recovery potion in advance just in case of an unexpected situation otherwise I would have collapsed ugly in front of the students.

It was a good thing that I always packed a lot of medicine in case I ran out of magical power.

Of course I ended up using up almost all of the medicine I had prepared to prevent Flora’s rampage.

‘Well I can make that again.’

This is Seorn.

Of course there are places where pharmacy classes are taught and the research building also has a pharmacy room where teachers can freely enter.

Since the pharmacy was equipped with all the ingredients to make any medicine they wanted teachers could just fill out the entry list and conduct experiments whenever they wanted.

Flora asked wiggling her fingers.

“How many elements does Mr. Ludger handle?”

“Why do you ask that?”

“Just like that. I heard you cover 5 topics in class. “Isn’t that quite a lot?”

Ludger suddenly wondered why Flora was asking him so many questions.

Most children who are geniuses do things on their own and have a strong ego so they don’t have much conversation with others.

Ludger thought Flora was one of those types. I thought that trying to arbitrarily use elements with three overlapping properties during this class was part of that.

Still I guess it’s because I’m still a student.

You probably want to check the level of skill of the teacher who teaches you.

Ludger pondered what to answer.

‘Actually I can handle almost all elements.’

The 10 most common elements that people talk about.

Ludger knew how to use it ‘all’.

It could be said to be the complete opposite of a single-attribute wizard who can only use one element and is the ultimate in that element.

Former property user.

However because of this it was not possible to achieve a certain level for any single element.

To others he may seem like an all-rounder with great talent but Ludger himself evaluated himself as a miscellaneous person who was not good at anything.

‘Even so if you say you know how to use everything here that’s a problem.’

Among the wizards remaining in the history of the Magic Tower the one known to have handled the most elements is eight.

This is the official first place record stated in <Wizard Book> which can be said to be the history of wizards.

However Ludger has already broken that first place record.

If this fact becomes known the Magic Tower will probably be overturned once more causing chaos. A person with an impatient temper would want to dissect Ludger alive.

In fact Ludger did not find it unusual that he handled all of these 10 major elements.

‘To begin with Master didn’t say anything nice about me either.’

If you were to choose the person who had the greatest influence on Ludger during his time in this world after his previous life the first place would naturally be his teacher.

The person who taught me magic from a young age taught me how to live in the world and passed on miscellaneous tips and various knowledge.

I took Ludger on as my disciple purely because he was unique and interesting with the idea of ​​raising him as a pet.

Even taking that into account Ludger felt quite grateful to his teacher.

However he was a very eccentric person so even when he looked at Ludger’s source code magic he only commented ‘It’s not bad.’

Of course it was such a teacher who gave advice to Ludger who uses all 10 elements saying ‘If you go somewhere and show off with something like that you’ll get stoned.’

So even though Ludger knew how to control all ten elements under his teacher’s sincere advice and teachings he never felt arrogant or thought he was great.

However because I was objectively aware of the seriousness of knowing how to use all 10 elements I did not tell anyone.

So Ludger decided to just skip to the five elements shown in this class.

“Those five are all.”

“Five… That’s surprisingly many.”

“Is that the end of the question?”

“ah. There is also something related to source code. “Is the source code provided to all students taking the class?”

During the first class Ludger deliberately showed the source code to attract students’ attention.

It wasn’t just for show. Ludger actually intended to teach students source code.

However it was not properly explained who would teach how much and when.

“no. Come to think of it I didn’t notice. Not everyone is informed equally. This magic is like a foundation for me. “There are conditions.”

“What are the conditions?”

“I personally teach it only to the top five people.”

Flora smiled as if she was interested in the answer.

“Five people. It’s a bit small. Still the total number of people is 80.”

“Because it’s magic worth it.”

“What about evaluation? Are you giving it as an end-of-semester evaluation? Seorn is evaluated in four parts in one semester. “It must be difficult to make a decision because the rankings keep changing with each evaluation.”

“I expected that to happen and devised a method. “This is it.”

Ludger immediately thought of a magic spell on his palm.

Because it was made up of pure white magic lines it could have seemed monotonous but the complex structure it created made it impossible to look down on this magic.

Flora also let out a low exclamation of exclamation at the color felt from the magic itself.

“That’s… part of it? “Exactly some of the source code magic you showed me.”

“I saw it correctly.”

Ludger nodded.

As Flora said the magic technique he just showed is one of the main parts that make up the source code.

“I call this <framework>.”

“Framework….”

“The source code which is the magic I manifest consists of a total of four frameworks.”

“So you want to give this framework to the top five people every quarter?”

“okay. The semester is divided into four parts and each of the four frameworks is taught one by one. In other words anyone who isn’t consistently in the top five won’t receive proper magic.”

Even if you rank in the top 5 just once you will not receive the complete source code.

In the end if you want to properly learn the magic of source code you have to take classes for one semester submit assignments consistently and do well on exams.

Realizing this Flora stared at Ludger with slightly bewildered eyes.

“…You’re very calculating.”

“What I’m curious about is is this the solution?”

“But can you just show this to me?”

“What do you mean?”

“Is it the framework? “What if I analyze it for no reason?”

Flora pointed to the framework spell still floating above Ludger’s hand.

Even if you don’t have the eyes to see continuing to reveal your magic skills like this is not what a magician should look like.

This is impossible unless you trust the other person that much.

‘ah.’

Ludger realized his mistake late.

Wizards basically do not show the techniques they have developed to others for a long time.

If you publish a thesis or submit a patent if someone copies this technique and claims it as their own it will be a pain in the ass.

In fact such things happen frequently.

This is why wizards keep their own arcane magic a secret.

Ludger recognized his mistake but decided it was not a big problem.

“It doesn’t matter.”

“yes?”

“It doesn’t matter if you see it anyway.”

Especially if the opponent is Flora Lumos.

Flora Lumos is a genius.

Even Ludger didn’t know about her genius because he had only heard rumors but he clearly realized it when he saw that she had completed the three-layered attribute element in today’s class and only helped her a little.

-ah. No matter what he does in my class he will get first place.

Even if it doesn’t get to first place it will consistently be in the top five so it won’t be a problem to show at least one framework anyway.

Because she can fully learn the entire source code magic.

“yes yes?!”

But Flora took Ludger’s words differently.

Her face turned red and soon her usual arrogance disappeared and she began to stutter.

“What on earth do you mean!”

“Why are you so embarrassed? It wouldn’t be wrong. “Anyway don’t you plan on taking first place in my class and receiving the framework?”

“Oh no that’s true but….”

Still it’s against the rules to say that.

Flora Lumos responded in a low voice so that Ludger could not hear.

It doesn’t matter if this side sees it.

It feels like you’re treating me special.

But even as I thought about that I couldn’t stop my heart from pounding.

Flora’s mouth twitched at the fact that this man was looking at her properly even if he pretended not to be blunt on the outside and tried to keep going up.

“Then I’ll just leave.”

When Ludger turned his back Flora called him out without realizing it.

“Ah teacher!”

“What else? “Are there any more questions left?”

“no. “It’s nothing.”

When Flora saw Ludger’s face looking at her with unwavering gaze her face turned red as if it were about to explode.

After hearing those words a moment ago I couldn’t look Ludger straight in the face.

Just by touching your eyes your skin becomes itchy and fluffy hairs sprout.

weird. I’ve never had anything like this before.

Ludger looked coldly at Flora who was confused and didn’t know what to do then turned his back and left.

Flora who watched Ludger’s departing back in vain finally regained her senses and calmed her excitement.

‘okay. calm down. Flora Lumos. You weren’t really this kind of person.’

Wasn’t he always arrogant and proud easily fooling others with his abilities?

Even though I challenged Ludger on the first day and failed miserably I lost again this time. The will has not yet broken.

Didn’t you promise to go beyond it next time?

I shouldn’t have felt this weak already.

Flora made up her mind to be weak.

‘Oh by the way I was going to ask you what you talked about with that commoner girl earlier but I forgot.’

Even if I pretended not to I was strangely curious about Ludger calling Line separately.
