The Academy’s Undercover Professor – 6
by Jessie@AFNCC
◈ Episode 6 False Identity (1)
In this world photography has not yet become popular.
Most photos exist only in black and white and the quality is not very good making detailed comparisons impossible.
When comparing people we have no choice but to rely on their clothes and overall physique for their age.
It was not unreasonable for them to be mistaken.
‘I’m sorry. Mr. Ludger.’
It’s a pity for the person who died but that doesn’t mean I can die too right?
The living must live.
And Ludger’s identity was of great help in avoiding this situation.
“This can’t be right. I heard you were the new teacher at Seorn Academy. As expected the magic I saw back then was….”
This is because the moment the name Seorn was mentioned Veronica’s voice towards me changed.
As expected she muttered something to herself.
I see. Have you seen me use magic?
Maybe it was because of that that I gained her trust even more.
Even the police officer who was half-suspicious of me and was about to interrogate me immediately bowed his head to me.
“This was rude! Given the situation please forgive me for being rude.”
“it’s okay.”
Even as I said that I thought to myself that the name Seorn was truly amazing.
The only magic academy that exists in the empire.
Seorn is one of the most prestigious academies on the continent.
Seorn’s name was never taken lightly and it was natural to be surprised to hear that he was a teacher who taught the students there.
“The teacher of Seorn.”
“You’re amazing at such a young age.”
Other guards and police officers also nodded among themselves.
This happened anyway so I decided to act more shamelessly.
For this moment I become Ludger Chelsea.

“We will guide you to the exit.”
“it’s okay.”
“no. He is the one who will foster the future of the empire so why would we just let him go? “You wasted your time for no reason because of us.”
“It’s okay.”
“It’s because we feel sorry.”
No moving with you guys is in itself uncomfortable!
I couldn’t shout those words out so I answered with a straight face that I knew.
“Mr. Veronica. I’ll just go now. “It was a short meeting but it was nice.”
Lastly before leaving I said hello to Veronica. It was a short meeting but I don’t think it was a bad relationship.
She seemed to think the same thing smiling brightly and waving at me.
“Yes Mr. Ludger! Let’s meet again later if we have a relationship!”
“yes. then.”
I’m sorry but I don’t think we’ll ever see each other again.
With the guidance of the security guard I was able to safely escape through the crowd of people to the exit of the train station.
As it was a train station with a lot of people coming and going the exit was also crowded with people.
I thought this was it and opened my mouth.
“It’s enough that we’ve come this far. From here on out I will move on my own. Anything more than that would be burdensome for me.”
“Oh yes. All right. Please take a look!”
The guard saluted me and then disappeared back into the station.
After greeting him with a light nod I relaxed my shoulders and sighed.
I really almost got into big trouble.
I’m glad they made a momentary mistake on the other side. Otherwise my false identity would have been revealed and I would have been accused of being an accomplice to terrorism.
Still we’ve passed the critical situation so it’ll be okay now.
“Are you Mr. Ludger Chelisi?”
At that moment I felt my blood freeze as I heard a voice coming from behind me.
There was no sign of presence in the voice.
When I slowly turned my head and looked back I saw an old gentleman with a calm posture looking in this direction.
I calmed my startled heart and answered calmly.
“yes. That’s right. “Who are you?”
“hello. My name is Wilford and I am a member of Seorn Academy. “I came to pick up Mr. Ludger.”
“…You mean picking me up? “Me?”
“yes. I heard that the train was attacked. “I rushed to find you because I thought something might have happened but I’m really glad that you seem to be okay.”
Wilford said that and opened the door of the carriage he was pulling.
“ruler. Let’s get on. “I will take you all the way to Seorn.”
“….”
I rolled my eyes. Can we say we got the wrong person here?
I don’t know how long that old man named Wilford has been around but he must have seen me parting ways with the police officer because he was sure I was Ludger.

Here it is virtually impossible to pretend otherwise and refuse.
Above all when it first appears there is no sense of presence and although it is hidden as much as possible this sharp prayer flows out subtly.
This man.
Definitely not an ordinary user.
“…Of course.”
I had no choice but to get on the carriage.
* * *
Veronica vice-captain of the Cold Steel Knights thought of the departed Ludger.
‘Ludger Chelsea.’
From the first time I saw him I thought he was an unusual person.
Because she saw.
The sight of him wiping out all terrorists with pure white flame.
The other knights might not have been able to see it clearly because they were far away but she who prided herself on having better eyes than the leader definitely saw it.
Even the opponent is a wizard like himself.
Ludger defeated such a person without even a single wound.
The man’s behavior was so natural as if it was natural.
Even when she brutally killed a terrorist by overusing her hands just in case.
Ludger’s face didn’t show any movement.
That wasn’t the reaction of someone frozen in fear.
Ludger the man was looking at the whole situation with cool-headed rationality.
‘He wasn’t an ordinary person.’
A neat suit and a simple yet gorgeous black frock coat with golden thread on top.
A quiet look and serious eyes.
Her long hair was slightly swept back and tied into a ponytail at the nape of her neck.
If you look closely he was a nobleman with a sharp look.
Above all what stimulated her nerves the most was the spirit subtly radiating from Ludger.
‘At first I thought he was a royal who hid his identity.’
The elegance that subtly emanated from Ludger was similar to what Veronica felt when she encountered a noble person in the imperial family.
So when I heard that Ludger would be appointed as a teacher at Seorn Academy I was convinced that this man could do it.
Or rather it occurred to me that even the great name Seorn was not a decoration for this man.
No one finds it amazing that fish swim well and birds fly across the sky. The same goes for Ludger being in the position of Seorn.
I accepted that it was very natural.
That strong feeling of déjà vu became confirmed when I heard the name.
‘Ludger Chelsea. I’ve heard of it. A young wizard who has recently gained fame. He achieved the youngest rank of 4 submitted 12 papers to Magic Tower and even redefined the Langaster formula one of the most difficult problems.’
In addition from what I heard he was appointed as an officer in the military and even specialized in cryptid hunting.
‘Did you say you will be appointed to Seorn this time?’
If so I’m curious.
Because her younger brother happens to be attending Seorn.
If I get a chance later I’ll ask my younger brother.
How was the class he taught?
* * *
My plan to run away as soon as I left the train station was disrupted from the start.
I never thought the Academy would send someone directly to pick me up.
I thought it was too much but when I heard it was Seorun Academy I was convinced.
If you are a teacher appointed to the best academy in the empire you will be treated well wherever you go.
Seorn must have been worried to hear that such high-quality personnel were caught up in terrorism.
I also understand sending someone to serve them comfortably.
‘It’s a big deal.’
I looked inside the carriage.
Soft red chairs and colorful patterns around. No matter how you look at it it was a carriage that only seemed luxurious. Even when running fast there is almost no shaking.
Leading this black chariot was a steam-breathing horse-shaped golem.
It was simply amazing to see this means of transportation which was one of the latest results of magical engineering created by mixing machinery and magic.
Above all Wilford the old gentleman driving the carriage was also unusual.
I didn’t even notice him until he got close to me. Moreover he has a muscular body that cannot be hidden by neat clothes.
‘The opponent is at least a knight.’
Knights do not become senile easily as they get older. Rather the old knight had to be even more vigilant.
Because they have superhuman bodies and years of experience.
It would be crazy to just run away in a situation like this.
‘If you make an excuse and try to leave it’s sure to arouse suspicion. You can’t sneak away and even if you succeed you will be tracked down immediately if a report is made.’
There were many other problems as well.
First of all it is about the identity I used previously called Gerard.
Since this false identity was virtually dead and disappeared it was necessary to create a new identity. And it was natural that a huge amount of money and time would be spent in this process.
What you need is not the regular route but the back world. It’s also a matter of gathering information in the back alleys of a city you’re visiting for the first time and finding a place to stay until you create a new identity.
Having lost my existing status I am no different from an illegal immigrant.
Not having status is no different from not having human rights. This means that even if you are taken somewhere and die without being noticed by rats or birds no one will notice.
After considering all these possibilities I decided to give up on running for now.
Right now it was time to save myself.
‘Now let’s not do anything that will raise suspicion.’
First let’s go to Seorn Academy. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to think about the future there.
All right. All right.
When the speed of the fast-moving carriage slowed down I realized that I had finally arrived at Seorn Academy.
As if to prove his words the front window of the carriage swung open and Wilford spoke up.
“Ludger. “We have arrived.”
At Wilford’s words I glanced at the scenery outside the window.
The first thing you see is the grand and huge gate. And beyond that was a vast land.
The road for carriages was neatly and neatly paved and green trees were evenly planted on both sides adding to its sophisticated beauty.
The buildings of Seorun Academy glowed white in the dazzling sunlight.
Is that the main building that villa that park that auditorium?
Aside from the fact that each and every item was large in scale it was difficult to estimate exactly how large the site was.
Isn’t this bigger than a decent city?
The guard guarding the main gate immediately opened the door and bowed lightly towards us.
As I passed the front door I could see how much magic was engraved nearby.
There were so many magic circles stacked on top of each other that the original shape could not be seen.
You’re crazy.
There won’t be a big guy barging in through the front door but if there really is one it will turn into powder and disappear in just one second.
All right. All right.
The place where the steel horse leading the carriage stopped was a building further inside than the main building.
It was truly a magnificent castle rising high like a crown.
“This is the place. Please get off.”
When I tried to pack my bag Wilford stopped me.
“I’ll be back anyway so there’s no need to carry your luggage.”
“…Of course.”
I got off the carriage and followed Wilford past the fountain and beautiful statues and entered the building.
The inside was as spectacular as it was inside.
The light shining from the window spreads as if gently reflected inside creating a warm color and gently wrapping the skin.
From somewhere a fragrant smell stimulates my nose and I hear the sound of birds chirping. It felt like I was dreaming.
The interior has a sophisticated yet clean design reminiscent of beautiful medieval European architecture.
While the adjacent city <Lederbelk> has a steamy steampunk atmosphere this one is much more fantasy-oriented.
-ha ha ha.
-Don’t do it kid.
As I followed Wilford up the stairs employees and students wearing academy uniforms passed me by.
Every time that happens I can hear a whispering conversation behind me. I guess they’re just gossiping because I look like a country bumpkin right?
Since I was getting stabbed for no reason I straightened my clothes and straightened my hair.
Before I knew it I had arrived in front of a large elevator.
Are you going to ride this again here?
“This way.”
I boarded the elevator with Wilford. I thought it was high when I saw it from the outside but I was once again surprised to see that it was almost 30 stories high.
I thought this was truly the scale of the empire.
When the elevator arrived and the doors opened there was a long hallway with a red carpet and a single wooden door at the end.
“The president is waiting. “I will wait here.”
“Thank you for the guidance.”
“no. “It’s my job.”
I crossed the hallway and stood in front of the door to the president’s office.
As I was about to raise my hand and knock on the door a languid yet alluring voice came from inside.
“Please come in.”
“….”
I opened the door and went inside.
“nice to meet you.”
A woman sitting at a desk with her back to the glass window greeted me.
The author is the president of Seorn Academy.
Considering that out of the eight existing ranks you must be at least a 6th rank Rexorer to sit in this position the woman in front of you is an undisputed first-class magician.
Looking at his appearance he appears to be only in his mid-twenties.
She was holding a fountain pen in her right hand as if she had just been organizing documents. She put the pen down loudly and stared at me.
Her pure white hair flowing like a curtain shines even more dazzlingly in the light from the glass window behind her.
The hair on the outside is white but the inside is a two-tone hair with a subtle pink tint.
‘what.’
The moment her golden eyes turned towards me I felt an indescribable feeling.
Deep in my soul I felt the beauty of that appearance.
I tried to ignore that strange feeling and spoke in a stern voice.
“This is Ludger Chelsea. “I came because the president called me.”
First of all I am Ludger Cellisi now.
