The Academy’s Undercover Professor – 71



◈ Episode 71 Freuden Ulburg

‘If they find out you’re a commoner won’t they attack you right away?’

Line swallowed his saliva.

I was just wondering if I could just pretend not to know and get out of there.

“hmm. you?”

Freuden looked at Line and raised his eyebrows.

Then he came closer to her and stuck his head out.

Line’s heart sank at that reaction.

“Hmm.”

Seeing his slightly suspicious gaze in this direction Liné felt her stomach ache.

Did the head of the noble faction even recognize him?

I’m sure you’re not remembering anything related to the Dunema Romli incident are you? What if I ask you to take responsibility for that time now?

Line’s head was spinning in confusion.

According to the rumors she heard Freuden was famous for being a devil who hated commoners and had no mercy.

Meanwhile Freuden did not take his eyes off Line.

When his gaze finally rested on the book on non-attribute magical power that Rine was holding in her arms.

Liné hid the book behind her without realizing it.

Freuden narrowed his eyes.

“you….”

“yes yes?! “Something to do?!”

“…No it’s nothing.”

When Line reacted too strongly Freuden shook his head and said that it was enough.

“More than that how did you get here? “Normally students wouldn’t come this far.”

“That…”

Line wondered what to do about it.

Freuden was suspicious of Linne’s attitude and narrowed his eyes even further.

Line’s heart tightened at the sight.

Freuden is definitely a handsome man who stands out.

His skin is white and his jawline is thin giving him a very sharp image but his unique eyes give him a lot of charisma.

The parted hairstyle that exposed his forehead elevated his mood even higher.

The rumors were so strong that Line became intimidated without even realizing it.

Fearing that she might die if she lied she answered honestly.

“I heard that song.”

“Singing sound?”

“yes. So without even realizing it… W If this was my senior’s space I wouldn’t have come! It’s true! Please believe me!”

Line thought it was this time and prayed that it was a mistake.

Freuden looked at her with slightly wide eyes then turned his gaze elsewhere and muttered.

“I see. “You heard a song.”

“yes. Sing…”

“How was it?”

“yes yes?”

“No it’s okay. “I’m sure I ended up here by chance.”

“Really? thank god.”

“Instead I want you to keep it a secret from other students. This is my personal space. “My own space that even my guards don’t know about.”

“uh….”

Line was momentarily speechless at Freuden’s attitude which was completely different from what she had expected.

“Aren’t you angry?”

“Angry? Why me?”

“Oh no so I….”

I’m a commoner.

Liné couldn’t bear to say that so she just muttered to herself.

“I don’t blame you for coming here. It looks like he’s a first year freshman and he’s moving around all over the place. “You just have to keep what you saw in this place a secret.”

“Of course!” I won’t tell anyone! really!”

“Are you going to promise?”

“yes! “I promise!”

“okay. “Then that’s enough.”

Conversation goes better than you think.

Rine was suspicious that this was the infamous Freuden of rumors.

‘Could it be that they mistakenly thought I was a nobleman? ‘I don’t think so.’

At least according to the rumors she heard Freuden Ulburg always had a cold attitude as if he was going to eat someone.

But the Freuden I was facing now was not like that at all.

That was the case with the cute flower bed that Line immediately saw.

‘Are they all raised by seniors?’

Probably so. Judging by his reaction this must be Freuden’s personal space.

In other words Freuden himself took care of this neat small vacant lot and flower bed.

‘I can’t believe Freuden-senior made all of this.’

That Freuden?

The eldest son of the House of Ulburg one of the three ducal families of the Empire?

He is a symbol of fear to the commoners and even the nobles are embarrassed?

At least the nobles she knows are so extravagant that even their basic hobbies are tongue-in-cheek.

Buying expensive clothes flashy accessories or gathering together to drink tea and have a tea party.

Even low-ranking nobles did but if you were a great noble you added more never less.

But Freuden was different.

‘Such a simple great nobleman.’

In addition there was an empty lot a cute flower bed and even the soft sound of singing.

‘Could it be that that song was also sung by Freuden?’

Then who did you learn that song from?

Line tried to ask that but immediately withdrew.

‘no. It’s much better not to attract senior’s attention here for no reason.’

Contrary to what she thought Freuden was surprisingly merciful so taking advantage of this opportunity and escaping safely was the more right choice.

“I won’t start a rumor. Today I didn’t see anything. yes. So I’ll just go now.”

“okay.”

You’re not holding on.

Freuden really didn’t seem to have any intention of looking down on or making fun of himself because he was a commoner.

Liné was relieved inwardly.

“Then I’ll leave.”

It was time for Line to slowly take a step back.

“Rine.”

“yes?!”

“If you want to come you can come again.”

“…yes?”

“You can just come. hmm. okay. “I will give you special permission.”

“….”

Rine didn’t understand what this meant.

Are you kidding me? Or are you sincere?

Even if it’s not sincere and it’s just teasing it’s still scary in its own way.

Because Freuden was telling a joke to himself.

“Oh yes.”

I guess you just tried it?

Even as she distanced herself from Freuden Line could only think that she had dreamed.

Because today was full of unbelievable things.

Escape from Freuden’s Secret Garden with quick steps.

But why?

Even as I walked away from the clearing I felt like Freuden’s eyes were on my back.

Ludger’s class has begun.

Ludger who entered the lecture exactly on time without a single second of error naturally looked around the podium where the students were sitting.

Before this the students seemed quite bored but after showing them the coordinate magic their concentration returned.

At this rate it will easily last a month.

Ludger shook his head in satisfaction and opened his mouth.

“The first testing period is coming soon.”

That soft voice echoed throughout the classroom.

First test.

There are many exams to take during the school year but the word “first test” weighs heavily on students.

In particular for first-year students this is the first exam they take after entering Seorn.

The weight couldn’t have been light.

Above all there is only one sense of obligation: to do well on the first test.

“As I told you last time I plan to teach <source code> only to top students who do well on the exam.”

Of course Ludger continued.

“Of course the entire source code is not taught. What you can get from the first test is one of the <frameworks> that make up the source code.”

The source code technique consists of a total of four frameworks.

In other words even if you obtain a framework through the first test this time it is virtually meaningless if you do not rank in the top five in the next test.

If you want to learn source code magic start from the first test being taken this time to the final test at the end of the semester.

You must maintain an unprecedented ranking of being in the top 5 in all 4 tests.

“I’m also curious about who will learn my <Source Code> magic. “This first test can be seen as a stepping stone to mark the beginning.”

Gulp.

Some of the students swallowed their saliva and clenched their fists.

Reactions half mixed with anticipation and tension.

However in the meantime there were some who seemed relaxed.

“As this is the first test there will not be anything terribly difficult. “This is a test to check how diligently you have been attending my classes based on the basics.”

At Ludger’s words sighs of relief broke out everywhere.

Still since Ludger said he wouldn’t make it too difficult I decided there was no need to be too nervous.

“I think you know the subject itself but just in case you don’t I’ll tell you again. “If there is anyone who doesn’t know yet write it down now.”

As soon as those words were out the students took out pens from their writing utensils.

Even if you already know it they say they will tell you again so I decided to write it down in preparation for an unexpected situation.

‘Tsk. ‘I feel stupid.’

Flora secretly laughed at the students’ hasty actions.

She already remembered everything Ludger had taught her.

‘Of course I remember this because I’m smart. ‘I’m not saying whether that teacher’s class was good or not.’

While he was rationalizing this to himself Ludger introduced the subjects to the students one by one.

“The scope of the questions will be questions from Mana Mechanics I Basics of Natural Science Understanding Elements and Elementary Introduction to Elements. There are 20 questions in total all of which are subjective.”

The subjective format is to prevent people from taking pictures without knowing anything.

Moreover in the case of problems that require calculations there is even a strong warning to write down the entire solution.

“Even if the answer is correct if the interpretation is strange it will be considered wrong. In the opposite case I will still give partial credit. So don’t just vaguely assume you know something but review it properly.”

Ludger’s explanation was clear.

So much so that the students had nothing more to ask.

“It’s my first test so I’ll go light.”

“Light ramen?”

“It’s an open book test.”

“yes?!”

To that cry some freshmen responded by asking why.

The unexpected reaction came from the second graders.

‘You’re still a freshman so you don’t know the meaning of open book.’

When people say it’s an open book test they think it’s a very easy test because you just have to look at the answers and write them down.

But in reality the opposite is true.

There is only one case where a teacher allows students to read an open book.

‘I will make the test so difficult that it will be difficult to solve even if you look at the book.’

However some students who did not know the true meaning were just busy liking the term open book.

The second graders laughed internally when they saw the first graders like that.

You will realize it only when you taste the spiciness of the open book.

‘You said you were going light but open book from the first round? How difficult is the test after the replacement?’

Line who knew about the true nature of the open book looked slightly dazed but did not stop taking notes.

Meanwhile she suddenly felt eyes on her and turned her head.

‘uh.’

Flora Lumos was looking at her.

But that gaze immediately disappeared as if it were just passing by.

‘what.’

However without knowing it Liné felt a strange discomfort. I felt like she was looking at me with a slightly wary eye.

To dismiss it as an illusion she had always had a fairly keen sense of others.

“I will end the explanation of the test here. “Let’s go to class right away.”

At Ludger’s next words Line had no choice but to put aside her doubts.

* * *

Soon after class ended the night came signaling the approaching holiday.

Ludger immediately finished preparing to go out and came down to Leather Velk in a carriage.

Today was the day of the meeting.

About how to deal with the behind-the-scenes world of Lederbelk in the future.

He wore a long black coat and pulled his hat down while standing on a sidewalk covered with tile blocks.

At that moment a car coated in black stopped in front of him with the sound of an engine ringing in his ears.

One car door creaked open and soon a familiar face was smiling in this direction.

“older brother. Get in.”

“Where did you get the car?”

Ludger naturally sat down in the seat behind Hans and asked.

Hans who was behind the wheel answered as he started the car.

“Well the Red Society guys were messing around with all sorts of things. Among them there was a transportation business and I just brought the best-performing vehicles they drove.”

“I see.”

“Oh of course I’m not saying I’m using it for personal use or anything. Still since your brother is coming don’t you think you have to look cool like this? “That’s the place we need to go.”

“That’s right.”

“So how are we going to meet today?”

“How can I get there?”

Ludger took out a monocle from his inner pocket put it on and adjusted his collar.

“I’ll just go the way I always go.”

“haha. “After all you are my brother.”

Hans drove to the meeting place.

Eventually the place they stopped was a bar on the main street with lots of colorful lights on.

The entrance was crowded with customers and nearby women with heavy makeup were waving their hands to solicit customers.

“It’s needlessly flashy.”

“Well wouldn’t it be better than doing it in a dirty and dreary place?”

“That too.”

“Let’s get off.”

The two people got out of the vehicle.
