The Academy’s Undercover Professor – 76



◈ Episode 76: Kalsapa Assassin (2)

Ludger had been waiting for this situation from the beginning.

We already knew that the assassins were hiding among the crowd and waiting for us to get tired.

Ludger had no intention of matching their rhythm.

‘If we try to loosen the siege and escape quickly they will have no choice but to come forward as well.’

Assassins are given a situation and carry out their mission with frightening calmness.

Secretly in the dark.

In other words if you just break the situation they created they will have no choice but to show themselves.

The moment the game is over there are only two options available to the assassins.

Are you going to leave like this and plan the next step?

‘Or do you step forward to complete your mission to the end?’

They belonged to the latter group.

As Ludger went up to the rooftop he did not forget to look out for the group following him.

As expected as he expected the assassins quickly climbed to the rooftop revealing their true colors in an attempt to avoid losing sight of Ludger and Violetta.

The number was three just as he had guessed at first.

Among them I waited for the guy who was coming up the stairs outside quickly and stabbed him with the sword stick at the right time.

“There are two left.”

“What are you…”

Violetta stared at Ludger in disbelief.

“How on earth did they know they would move like that?”

“Southern Assassins are usually like that.”

The reason Ludger was confident was because the opponent was an assassin from the southern continent.

To be exact <Khalsafa Assassins> led by the Fatimid Dynasty.

They are the most famous assassination group on the continent and also the most notorious.

Normally assassins would retreat in situations like this but not the southern guys.

To put it in a good way they have strong beliefs and in a bad way they are single-minded.

As a result I rarely had to back down.

It was inevitable that they were taught and grew up in such an environment.

If a mission is given it will be completed no matter what.

The teachings bordering on brainwashing combined with the religious doctrines they believed in and followed made the Khalsa faction’s assassins very famous.

Because they were able to grow and become stronger thanks to strict discipline.

‘But the discipline of having to complete a mission can actually make you stranded.’

But we couldn’t use this to point out that they were stupid.

Those assassins were just bad opponents.

Who would have thought that he was a wizard capable of close combat and even armed with strange devices?

“I just plugged that loophole.”

“…You are also knowledgeable about Southern assassins.”

“I’ve been hurt a few times.”

“yes?”

Violetta asked back in disbelief.

Ludger suddenly recalled the past.

When he was still a child he was targeted by Khalsa faction assassins.

At that time I really thought I was going to die.

‘If it weren’t for Master I would have already died.’

Because of the experience I had back then I was able to deal with it so easily now.

Compared to the people who chased him in the past the people who are targeting him now are nothing more than greenhorns.

Judging by the fact that they have flowed to Lederbelk they must have either been kicked out of their original place of activity after failing in a mission or came to improve their skills.

No matter what if you look at it from an objective level you could say that they are quite professional.

Compared to the real ones in the South they are far inferior.

“Are you coming again?”

Ludger standing on the railing looked down the alley.

Two assassins move busily in the darkness where light does not penetrate well.

Eventually it escapes from sight and hides itself in the darkness.

“But still he’s an assassin from the Khalsa faction. “You don’t panic even though your comrade is dead.”

“What are we going to do now?”

“well. “What should I do?”

While Ludger was pondering for a moment the Assassins who had been hiding in the darkness moved.

They burst out from between buildings and quickly threw daggers.

“joy!”

But Violetta did not stay still either.

She opened the black parasol she was holding in her hand.

As if to prove that it was not an ordinary material the sharp dagger could not pierce her parasol.

But in the end it only happened once.

Chii Iik.

“Oh my.”

“It seems like that parasol has no resistance to poison at all.”

The poison applied to the tip of the dagger corroded her parasol.

Meanwhile the assassins hid themselves.

“How can I do this….”

“It is a special poison used by the Khalsa faction’s assassins. “If it touches the skin it penetrates into the body is quite dangerous and breaks down even a decent amount of armor.”

“You put that on a dagger and throw it?”

“It’s a special dagger. To be exact Kelbantium a rare metal found in the south was melted down and coated on the dagger. Kelbantium is the main export product of the Fatimid Dynasty and is a special product called the metal of the gods. “It is very resistant to corrosion.”

“under. “You did well.”

As the information flowed out of Ludger’s mouth Violetta decided not to ask him any more questions.

I have now accepted that no matter what this man says it is not strange.

“So how do you respond?”

“You have to hold on until you run out of daggers to throw.”

“Can you do that?”

“The parasol has melted so there is virtually nothing. “Magic is impossible right now.”

In other words if you don’t avoid the next attack you will die.

“Then we should move first.”

“Where?”

“Back down again.”

If you stay still on this side of the rooftop which is open on all sides it would be perfect to become prey for assassins.

Ludger silently extended his hand to Violetta.

Even though she hesitated she took his hand.

“Hold on tight.”

“….”

Ludger jumped down the alley holding Violetta in one arm.

“uh?”

Quack!

One of the Red Society members who dispersed to chase Ludger and Violetta had his head smashed by Ludger’s shoe.

Ludger got down into the alley using one person as a buffer and ran blindly without guessing the other person’s location.

‘Are you really trying to hide?’

The Assassins did not understand Ludger’s actions at first.

When you evacuate to the rooftop you suddenly come down again.

‘It is an unpredictable goal. ‘I have to be careful.’

One of my colleagues has already been hit. I couldn’t suffer any more here.

The two Assassins exchanged glances in the darkness. That alone conveyed the meaning.

One follows right behind and the other moves from above to block the path.

‘Catch me before I completely leave this corner.’

With that in mind the assassin who was secretly chasing Ludger and Violetta stopped when he noticed a black shadow in front of him.

Found the goal.

But something is strange.

‘A woman alone? What about men?’

Could it be that he abandoned it? Clearly just looking at the battle a little while ago that woman seemed like a burden to the man.

“Now wait a minute! “How could you leave me!”

She stood and stamped her feet as if she had actually been abandoned.

Assassin had to make a decision.

‘There’s no way he really abandoned it. Probably a trap. Are they targeting this direction in reverse?’

Running to the rooftop a little while ago was also a trap to catch them off guard.

Unless they are stupid they also do something called learning.

A man named James Moriarty is probably hiding somewhere nearby.

The Assassin slowly approached Violetta holding a poisoned dagger in his hand.

His eyes were focused on Violetta who was left alone but his ears were strained to catch the surrounding sounds.

Sigh.

At that moment a small sound came from the right side of his ear.

‘think!’

The Assassin decided that was where Ludger was hiding and immediately threw his dagger.

But there was nothing to see.

‘what?! There was definitely a sound.’

He is highly trained to handle situations like this. There is absolutely no way you heard it wrong.

“It’s a shame.”

But the voice came from behind him.

As if it had suddenly appeared out of thin air without any sound or warning.

Ludger was standing behind him.

How on earth and since when did it exist?

Rather than asking such questions Assassin unconsciously moved his body based on the training he had received so far.

Holding the dagger and swinging it towards the back…

Phew!

The sword stick held by Ludger pierced him from behind faster than the Assassin could react.

“Ugh! “How…”

The sound came from the right but it appeared from the other side?

There was no sight or sound?

“This is that kind of magic.”

Ludger said this as he pulled out the sword stick he had stabbed.

There are still remnants of the spread.

However Ludger took advantage of this diffusion trend in reverse.

Sound magic.

The moment a faint voice is released through coordinate setting magic the sound spreads loudly through the diffusion scent elsewhere.

In other words it becomes difficult to distinguish the direction of sound.

Thanks to extreme training I was able to figure out the general direction but even that was a trick.

It was a surprise attack that left me unable to move.

“Did you catch it?”

“okay.”

Violetta looked back.

How embarrassed I was when I was asked to perform an abandoned act out of nowhere. I did as I was told but I never thought I could catch an assassin this way.

Of course it was not caught in such a simple way.

Because even the Assassin knew this was a trap.

However the big thing was that I didn’t know that they would sell this trap twice.

‘Well it’s a magic that makes sound flow from a different direction. It must be embarrassing even for those who suffer.’

However there was absolutely no need to be considerate of the opponent in a fight for one’s life.

It would be truly unfair for the dead but what can you do?

If you don’t know you’ll die.

‘Now there’s only one thing left.’

Just then a cool breeze blows through the alley.

‘The diffuse scent is slowly washed away.’

Even if it is a diffuse scent it does not last forever.

In the end it has to remain in the air to be effective and because it is an alley it lasts for a long time but when the wind blows like this even that disappears.

Now time has turned against Ludger.

At that moment a black shadow fell on Ludger’s head.

“ah! Above!”

Violetta saw it and reacted but it was already too late.

Assassin threw something at Ludger.

“hmm.”

Ludger raised his sword stick as if he knew this would happen but what the Assassin threw was not a poisoned dagger.

It was a hook with a chain attached to it.

The hook hooked the middle blade of the sword stick and pulled it with strong force.

widely!

The sword stick falls out of Ludger’s hand.

The Assassin who came down to the ground threw the knife on the hook to the floor and rushed towards Ludger.

A sharp dagger was pulled out from his waist.

“It’s dangerous!”

Violetta shouted. Assassin was confident of victory.

There is no time to use magic. He also took away the cane knife he had learned in self-defense.

All that is left of him is his empty body.

Even though two of his compatriots died the mission was still accomplished.

Assassin who was thinking like that looked.

The gaze of Ludger who did not lose his composure even in the face of death.

‘what? Why on earth do you look like that…’

Were you too embarrassed to understand the situation? He wouldn’t be that slow to react would he?

But his thoughts could not continue any further.

At that moment when he rushed towards him Ludger’s hands moved faster.

Shashak!

“uh?”

It was faster for Ludger to cut him down with his sword than for the Assassin to swing his dagger.

The assassin who had cut the nape of the neck precisely lost all strength in his body and fell to the ground.

“You let your guard down at a crucial moment.”

Ludger lightly wiped the blood off the crescent-shaped Karambit dagger in his hand.

The Assassin in front of me was confident that I could kill him in the end so I ended up revealing my weaknesses.

If you are going to kill your opponent you must not let down your guard at every moment and do your best.

“That moment of complacency is what killed you.”

Ludger picked up the sword stick that had fallen on the floor.

After checking to see if the blade was damaged I decided it was still fine and immediately put it in the bag.

Slurp tap.

Ludger grabbed his cane and lightly adjusted his collar.

“…Did you just capture the Southern Assassin in close combat?”

“Why are you doing that? “What else are you curious about?”

“no. “I’m curious now but I just don’t want to ask.”

It was difficult to count how many times Violetta was surprised today.

She was always able to bend others to her will but was she still lacking when it came to dealing with the real thing?

The cries of the enemy society were heard from afar.

“think! “The sound came from here!”

“Hurry and catch it! “If you run away we’re all done!”

Violetta stared at Ludger.

“What are you going to do now?”

“How are you sleeping?”

Ludger shrugged his shoulders.

“All the diffusion scent has disappeared.”

“Oh really?”

“okay. So I’ll leave the rest to you.”

“I can’t help it.”

Violetta smiled seductively amidst the black cotton yarn.

Being able to use magic again which had been banned for a while means that she also has an opportunity to be active in her own way.

She lifted the almost skeletal parasol.

This was her weapon of self-defense but it was also a staff that helped her focus her magic.

“I will organize the rest.”

The sound of footsteps gradually getting closer.

A group of Red Society members busily moving across the alley appeared.

“think! “There are those guys over there…!”

And what greeted them like that.

It was a blade of wind that sharply cut through the darkness.
