The Academy’s Undercover Professor – 53
by Jessie@AFNCC
◈ Episode 53 James Moriarty (3)
Hans didn’t bother to ask Ludger why he gave him the wolf’s tooth.
Because it was he who knew his constitution better than anyone else.
“No matter what if I go alone the atmosphere won’t be lively. “You need someone big enough to threaten you from behind.”
“…I don’t know if a fight will break out like this. “I will run away right away.”
“You don’t have to worry about that part.”
“ha.”
Hans sighed took the wolf’s tooth in his hand and stabbed it into his palm until it bled.
Passsss.
Immediately afterwards black fur began to grow on Hans’ body centered around the wolf’s teeth.
When the genes contained in the wolf’s teeth cross the skin and come into contact with the blood a constitution in which the beast factor is expressed is activated.
Crash.
With the sound of bones twisting Hans grew almost 1.5 times bigger than usual.
Eventually what replaced Hans was a werewolf with black fur wearing clothes that were almost bursting.
Hans feeling stuffy carefully took off his jacket and placed it nearby.
“Are you okay?”
“hmm. Not bad. “Well I was going to say I didn’t need pants but…”
“…Please take a look at that.”
“okay. “I need you to understand that part.”
If the transformation ends later and you take off all your pants there would be nothing more terrible than that.
Hans breathed a sigh of relief.
“That’s a good thing.”
“hmm. The size isn’t bad either. “It is clear that the shape it changes into varies depending on which animal’s teeth are used.”
“…Well that’s something I couldn’t help but know from a variety of horrifying experiences. “I didn’t want to know.”
“It’s a shame. “I also wanted to get some bear or tiger teeth if I could get them.”
Hans does not need to be bitten directly by the animal.

His constitution is activated only when the beast’s factor comes into contact with the inside of his body.
In other words the conditions for transformation are met by simply cutting the skin with the teeth of the animal in question.
“Still I think these wolf teeth are particularly impressive right?”
Hans said this while looking around at himself.
Since Hans had transformed into many different forms against his will I could feel even more how special his current appearance was.
My body was full of strength and my muscles and bones were 1.5 times thicker than usual.
I was certain that it was not just a wolf’s tooth.
“okay. “Because it is the tooth of the Black Fang that exists in the Northern Continent.”
“her. Those beasts that are so dangerous that their ferocity is unparalleled? somehow. “They said I had more energy than usual.”
“Compared to anything you have changed so far you can be confident that you are at a high level. “Of course if you use ‘that’ I gave you as a gift just in case you can become stronger than anyone else.”
At the word ‘it’ that came out of Ludger’s mouth Hans’ face frowned to the point where it was clearly recognizable even in his wolf state.
“older brother. Anyway it’s a shame to use something so dangerous. “If I’m not careful I might get eaten by the wild.”
“I told you to keep it just in case. Because I don’t know how things will go in the world. If your life is in danger use it. “It’s better than dying.”
“That’s true but…”
Hans remembered those huge molars.
It’s a tooth but it’s so big that the tooth was carved into the shape of a dagger.
It was a special gift from Ludger for Hans.
Hans who considered his constitution a curse kept the tooth despite his reluctance.
“Then let’s go.”
“I tell you again if there’s a fight I’m going to jump right away.”
“I told you. You just need to set the mood. “I will go in first so follow when I give the signal.”
“Whew. “I understand.”
Ludger dressed in black and Hans who had become a black beast immediately disappeared as if melting into the darkness of the alley.

Porges Street located on the outskirts of downtown Lederbelk is famous for its many shops restaurants and music halls.
In addition in some areas there were workshops making power devices made of mechanical springs so it was a place where not only adults but also children actively visited.
The depths of Poges Street.
The boundary between the bright outside of the city and the back alleys.
In a large bar that everyone knew instead of customers men with scary faces were crowded together creating an uncomfortable atmosphere.
“Damn it!”
Among them there was a man with red hair who drank alcohol from a bottle while blowing a trumpet.
He had a physique that was nothing special compared to others with massive muscles but his face was not like that.
He had long sideburns and a large scar across one eye giving him an unusually ferocious appearance.
When he got irritated the subordinates around him just looked at him.
At that time the subordinate who played the role of advisor mustered up the courage to step forward.
“older brother. Are you okay?”
“Do I look okay now?”

“…Honestly it’s hard to say that.”
The man was Dutri the Red Snake the leader of the Red Society.
In a way it was natural for him to be angry now.
This is because Bellbott Rickson who could be said to be the biggest source of funds and money for the enemy society died suddenly.
From Dutri’s perspective who was closest to Bellbot and built an enemy society on the back of his power one of the great pillars that supported him has collapsed.
There were still a few more pillars to help them but the problem was that before Bellbott Rickson’s death the Red Society had invested a huge amount of money in his business.
It is a self-evident fact that since the leader of the project has died all his assets are scattered.
Most investors would share but for Dotree who spent dishonest money it was difficult to recover the invested principal.
Although the enemy society would not be completely ruined because of this it was inevitable that the atmosphere would become chaotic.
“But it’s still worth holding on to so why not find a new way?”
“That’s why I called you here. “I think we will have to expand our business significantly soon.”
Business expansion.
As I said it will be a job that involves some blood and violence.
Perhaps we will have to fight with other organizations that have only glared at each other until now.
But no one worried about that.
Because they were enemies and were the best in the alleys of Lederbelk in terms of military force.
“First of all let’s take a picture of those Black Rose bitches somehow…”
When Dutri mutters like that.
I’m sorry.
The door to the bar creaked open and a person came inside.
“ok?”
“what?”
At first I thought he was a member of the organization who came in late but I soon had no choice but to change my mind.
The man looked too neat to be considered a member of an enemy society.
Black Inverness coat and cane in hand. A black top hat on his head and a monocle over one eye.
He looked like a gentleman who seemed to have a lot of money and leisure.
“What is that bastard? hey. “Don’t you know the store is closed?”
Dutri glared at the uninvited guest with a red-faced drunken face.
As if nothing had happened to the gaze the man took an empty chair nearby and sat down in the center of the bar.
The sight of him sitting with his legs slightly apart supporting his cane with both hands was full of a strange majesty that was difficult to express in words.
“What is that kid?”
“Are you crazy?”
All members of the Red Society glared at the uninvited guest.
After emptying the bottle Dutri got up from his seat.
“Who are you?”
“Dutree. The leader of the enemy society. Is that right?”
“okay. That person… is a face I’ve never seen before. Are we spherical?”
“It’s our first meeting.”
Dutri laughed as if he was dumbfounded.
“Huh. Even though you knew we were an enemy society you came here alone? Brother. “Is there anything you believe in?”
“A corner to believe in? “That’s why I came here.”
Despite the glares from all directions the man was confident and did not look at all scared.
Dutri felt strangely uneasy at that sight.
It didn’t seem like he was bluffing.
Having lived in these back alleys for a long time he has come to the point where he can distinguish between the bravado of an incompetent person and the confidence of a truly skilled person.
The person in front of me was the latter.
‘The clothes she is wearing look luxurious and the atmosphere she is giving off is also unusual.’
A person like this came to see you?
Dutri thought it was necessary to hear the story first.
“hmm. “Why on earth did you come to see me?”
“I just recently came to this city. So I’m thinking of starting something new.”
“ah! business! Good! “I think you found this person well.”
Dutri clapped his hands in joy.
This man talked about business but there was no one here who didn’t know that it was money and even dirty work.
The clothes and the atmosphere are like that.
Considering that he came here after knowing something this man must be of the same type as Bellbot Rickson.
A wealthy merchant with a lot of money and a dark heart.
Customers who want to make money in some way.
‘It’s a line of money that must be held!’
But Dutri was not hasty in being happy. Isn’t this the rule that it’s easy to get stabbed in the back if you blindly trust in a situation where there’s still a lot you don’t know about the other person?
If you don’t know the other person never trust them.
Even if you know the other person you only half believe them.
Betray yourself before you are betrayed.
That was the way and discipline of people living in the gutter.
“So what is your name?”
In response to Dutri’s question the man spoke in a rather soft tone.
“His name is James Moriarty.”
“huh? James Moriarty?”
Dutri was puzzled by the name which gave him a sense of déjà vu. I think I’ve heard of it but I don’t really remember much about it.
At that time his adjutant and advisor his right-hand man seemed to have noticed something and hurriedly approached Dutri and whispered to him.
‘James Moriarty! It’s him.’
‘Who is it?’
‘A big man who once dominated the backworld of the Delica Kingdom.’
‘ah.’
Dutri could barely remember the name after hearing those words.
James Moriarty.
People call him Professor Moriarty.
He called himself a professor and was a criminal consultant who was notorious in the underworld.
Delica the iron kingdom that has made remarkable progress in the steel industry.
It was this man who shrouded the darkness there and stood just below the light.
The rumor was so famous that it was almost a legend in this field.
‘But that was true?’
Dutri was suspicious.
Professor Moriarty disappeared from Delica several years ago.
Rumor has it that he met his end at the hands of a famous honorary nobleman detective.
Some say he was captured and rotting in the deep dungeons of Delica while others say he chose to kill himself before he was captured.
Otherwise there would have been no news for several years.
There was a possibility that this Professor Moriarty in front of me was a fake.
‘I guess I can check it out.’
Dutri cleared his throat and greeted me.
“You were Professor Moriarty. “I’ve heard that name a lot.”
“I’m glad you noticed.”
“Hmm. But isn’t this a bit ambiguous? “It’s a bit ambiguous whether Professor Moriarty is real or not.”
“Do you think I’m an impersonator?”
“A person who suddenly disappeared a few years ago suddenly appeared before my eyes.”
Moriarty glanced around at his surroundings.
One by one the subordinates were pulling out weapons from their waists and holding them.
Considering how easy it is to carry is it closer to a pistol than a dagger?
The faint smell of cheap gunpowder irritating my nose confirmed that thought.
The fact that all these low-level people have been given guns makes me realize that the enemy society is quite a big place.
“Let me warn you.”
“Please tell me.”
“I recommend not pulling out your gun if possible.”
Moriarty immediately raised his right hand.
Do it yourself!
At the same time countless subordinates around him took out guns and pointed them at Moriarty.
If you do anything even slightly suspicious you will become a beehive.
But Moriarty was not afraid at all.
Dutri’s detached attitude as if telling him to do it if he could made him increasingly wonder if the man in front of him was real.
“It’s quite loud.”
Moriarty’s provocative tone made some gang members raise blood on their heads.
They looked at Dutri and asked him whether to shoot or not.
Dutri thought for a moment and then nodded slightly.
After confirming the signal the subordinate slowly pulled the trigger of the gun in his hand.
Aim for the shoulders not the head.
If you give it a shot of lead bullets it might show its true colors.
Crash.
But no bullets came out.
“Uh huh?”
“The gun doesn’t fire right?”
That wasn’t all. The guns of all the gang members gathered in the bar now have stopped working.
“Didn’t I warn you?”
Moriarty laughed quietly amidst the embarrassment spreading across the situation.
“Don’t pull out your gun.”
“Demon wizard!”
Dutri didn’t know that all the guns suddenly stopped working.
This was clearly [Silence of Fire] a magic used by wizards.
That means that even if we don’t know anything else it is certain that this man in front of us is a wizard.
At that moment Moriarty whistled.
When the sound rang through the bar and spread beyond.
Soon the door of the bar was broken and a big man came in.
“Ugh!”
“What on earth is that!”
The giant was a huge wolf that walked on two feet.
A huge creature covered in black fur all over and standing over 2.5 meters tall. And sharp claws growing on both arms.
Not long ago there was no one who did not know about the werewolf incident that had caused an uproar in Lederbelk.
The werewolf slowly entered the bar and stopped behind Moriarty.
As if protecting him.
Dutri immediately changed his stance upon seeing that.
“oh my. You really meant it. “I don’t know you.”
“Is this enough proof?”
“haha. “It’s not enough; it’s too much.”
“Then we can have a full-blown conversation now.”
“yes. What kind of business do you want? “Do you need anything from us?”
“Rather than that I have something to tell you first.”
“What do you want to say?”
Dutri’s eyes widened as he asked what Moriarty’s words meant.
“I am a horse. “I don’t like things that are this dirty and obscene.”
“yes?”
“What that means is that the enemy society will disappear from here as of today.”
