The Academy’s Undercover Professor – 82



◈ Episode 82 1st test (1)

The day when the first test is just around the corner.

Ludger finished reviewing his final exam questions in the teacher’s office.

Across from him his assistant Sedina was sitting and working hard to organize all kinds of documents.

“Sedina.”

“yes! “No Mr. Ludger!”

“Has anything happened recently?”

Ludger asked Sedina without taking his eyes off the test questions.

Seeing his concentration Sedina looked at the scene blankly without realizing it and belatedly came to her senses and answered.

“There was nothing special.”

“I see. “What are the other guys in the organization doing?”

“Everyone is taking precautions. “Perhaps because the Protector of the Nation recently visited Seorn everyone is acting cautiously.”

“Is it patriotic? “I see.”

Ludger shook his head.

Ludger was quite relieved to learn that the Black Dawn was not taking any action at the moment.

These guys had no idea what they were going to do so I didn’t know if they might do something wrong during the first test.

If that were the case it would have been quite embarrassing.

‘That woman is helpful in times like these.’

Terrier Lion Howl.

When we encountered enemies they were annoying in many ways but now it was different.

Because she visited Seorn under the pretext of investigating Ledervelk’s case the members of the Black Dawn took care of it.

A shield that protects the empire and a big name in the Security Bureau who is considered the most dangerous to the Black Dawn.

Considering the achievements she has made so far it is only natural that they would buy it.

How many secret organizations were destroyed by Terina’s hands and how many criminals died at her hands?

If Terina sensed something suspicious and began an investigation there was a high possibility that the Black Dawn’s strength would be drastically reduced.

‘Of course since this is an unprecedented secret organization there are probably many hidden strongmen.’

If the two fought Ludger would have absolutely no regrets no matter which side lost.

“Perhaps that is why there are many opinions within Seorn that we should be careful. Even if members of the organization are meeting each other they are meeting cautiously outside of Seorn…”

“Is it a meeting?”

“yes. “You can see it that way.”

“Sedina. “You didn’t go to that meeting?”

“yes? Yes. “I just…”

Seeing Sedina’s sullen appearance Ludger felt like asking something pointless.

In the first place she was an outsider even in the Black Dawn Society so wasn’t she the one who got it herself?

but.

Still Sedina would have been noticeably gloomy in the past but this time she didn’t feel that way.

There was no one around then but now there was Ludger.

Just as their conversation was about to end Sedina opened her mouth as if something had occurred to her.

“Now that I think about it one unusual thing happened.”

“There was one?”

“yes. Actually it would be pointless to even report it to Professor Ludger…”

“Explain. “I will judge after hearing it myself.”

“Oh yeah. Just the day before yesterday three members of the organization Lederbelk were arrested by the police. “They are all made up of only the Third Order.”

Got caught by the police?

It was a little strange.

“hmm. Even if it was Third Order it wouldn’t have been so disorganized that it would have been caught by the police.”

“Yes that’s right.”

“Someone else was involved in the incident. “Who is it?”

“It is said that he is a student of Seorn.”

“A student?”

Ludger took his eyes off the problem and stared at Sedina.

Sedina seemed embarrassed to be receiving that gaze but nodded while shrugging her shoulders even more.

“yes. There are a total of three students. There were two boys and one girl. “I don’t know if you know but I am also a student who took your class.”

“Are you a student taking my class?”

Two men and one woman.

Ludger was able to immediately think of that unusual combination.

“Aidan. Leo. And Taycee Freeard?”

“yes. you’re right. You remember right away. As expected from Perth… teacher.”

“How can those kids get members from outside the city… no. I see. “I understand without you having to say it.”

Ludger belatedly remembered the existence of a ‘bulletin board’ in Seorn.

The exact name is <Request Application Bulletin Board>.

It is a legal means of making money that Seorn students can use.

“Did the student who was carrying out the request find traces?”

Join our discord and ping me to update more chapters. Discord: https://discord.gg/93rmBjgP6B

“yes. “I guess.”

Naturally this request is similar to what mercenaries do.

Some difficult requests can be applied for officially through the mercenary request center but there are also miscellaneous requests that mercenaries do not take on.

Seorn’s tuition is expensive.

Although there is a scholarship system it only covers the cost of education and does not cover fellowship costs or other materials needed for research and experiments.

It is said that if you join a club you will receive steady research expenses but establishing a club is not as easy as it sounds.

‘In the end for students who are short on money this request bulletin board is the only way to make up for the shortfall.’

Apart from that there are many other ways such as working part-time within Seorun.

Still they are highly skilled people who know how to use magic so wouldn’t such a thing hurt their pride?

So the place to start is with a request.

‘It’s mostly used by lower-class students who don’t have enough money.’

Noble families or wealthy merchant families never lack money in the first place.

Because they always receive ample support and can get most of what they want.

Naturally the main students who used this request bulletin board had to be commoners or those who lacked money.

There are occasionally nobles who apply for entertainment.

It is said that this <Request Application Bulletin Board> can be used by anyone but of course there were conditions.

Requests also have levels of difficulty and risk so your grade is important to receive the request.

The higher your grade the more difficult requests you can perform. Otherwise you can only receive easy requests.

Of course even if the grade was lower a temporary certificate could be issued if one passed Seorn’s own verification test.

‘Even if that were the case they would only be in their first year.’

No matter how special Aidan uses magic he cannot receive high-difficulty requests.

Nevertheless while carrying out his given mission he made a mark by capturing as many as three members of the Third Order of the Black Dawn.

‘It may just be a coincidence but it’s also a truly unfortunate coincidence. It’s as if fate is leading him.’

Although he said so that was actually the reason why he kept an eye on Aidan.

I felt this way during the werewolf incident last time but there was something about this guy that drew events together.

Ludger came up with a plan in his head.

A large chessboard made of alternating black and white tiles.

Ludger confirmed his words one by one.

‘Words I can use.’

The members of the organization were all elites with extraordinary abilities.

Rook Knight Bishop.

That’s their role.

‘On the other hand Aidan and his friends are actually not even called phones.’

He was still just a child lost in idealism.

However in chess the presence of a pawn is sometimes more threatening than anyone else.

The pawn that survives until the end can become a bishop or a knight.

‘You could become queen.’

Promotion.

A phone may be nothing but it has infinite potential to become anything.

Ludger thought very highly of Aidan. The talent he had was a talent but his mental strength and grit were such that he could not be compared to other students.

Reality is different from chess so even if you survive for a long time you cannot always be promoted.

But if it’s Aidan.

If it’s a guy maybe.

Ludger suddenly thought that he might be able to go beyond queen and become king.

“Mr. Ludger?”

“Why are you doing that?”

Ludger returned to reality at the sound of Sedina’s voice.

“I asked about the treatment of those students.”

“You mean treatment?”

“yes. No matter how coincidental it may be it played a decisive role in capturing our members of the Black Dawn. Moreover doesn’t that student named Aidan even use a strange magic that nullifies magic?”

So Sedina is what is proposed here.

Let’s nip a student named Aidan in the bud.

He’s dangerous.

Ludger shook his head.

“It’s done. “Leave it alone.”

“Are you going to leave it as is?”

“okay. There is no threat to us right now. Besides if we touch Seorn’s students when it’s noisy there’s a risk that our existence will be revealed.”

“More than anything” Ludger continued.

“In the first place those who were arrested only because they were harassed by students are useless to our organization. “It’s probably a good thing.”

“I see!”

Sedina was impressed by Ludger’s words.

Perhaps because it was the First Order its perspective on events was unique.

To anyone he would be seen as a cold-blooded person but Sedina who had already used Ludger well seemed to have the virtue of an executive.

“Sedina. “Is there anything else?”

“yes. “The members are just telling us to stay calm until the test is over and are just staying quiet.”

“I see. i get it.”

Ludger said that and stood up.

Sedina stood up as if she had been waiting and picked up a bundle of test papers.

“egg plant.”

“yes!”

It was time for the first test.

* * *

There was tension in the classroom with 80 people gathered.

It was natural to be nervous now that the first test was approaching but the situation was a little different this time.

On the first day of the exam it was also the first exam.

It is none other than Ludger Chelsea’s test that will open the long-awaited relay that will last for the next three days.

Since it was an open book test it was no exaggeration to say that the final boss appeared from the beginning for the students.

“Aaaah! “I studied but I don’t know anything!”

“book. “Wouldn’t the answer be found in a book?”

“How difficult should the alternative test be open book…”

All the students sitting in their seats could not help but tremble as they watched the second hand tick.

Some people were shaking their legs and others were biting their nails.

The moment when the endlessly rotating clock hands point to the hour.

The promised time has finally arrived.

Grumble.

The sound of the door opening echoed like thunder in the quiet classroom.

At least the students waiting for the exam had no choice but to feel that way.

It was Ludger who opened the door and came in.

Unlike his usual coat attire this time he wore a simple style wearing a white dress shirt a gray vest and suit pants.

However his sharp gaze remained the same and the mood never eased.

“As everyone knows today is the first test.”

The small assistant who was standing next to Ludger whined and placed the test paper on the podium.

“The test time is 3 hours in total. As previously announced it is run as an open book. We’ll start in 5 minutes so if you haven’t gone to the bathroom yet go there now. “Once the test starts no one can leave until the answer sheet is submitted.”

It was to prepare for any unexpected irregularities.

In fact many such cases are discovered every year.

“If you study hard you will be able to do well on the test. “There are partial scores so you don’t have to give a blank score just because it’s difficult.”

And the important warning was this.

“Just one warning. “If I’m caught cheating on my exam.”

Ludger’s usually cold voice became even more serious.

Little bits of chicken meat appeared on the students’ skin.

“I promise that I will make sure you pay the appropriate price then.”

“….”

The entire classroom froze at Ludger’s warning.

Originally I knew Ludger’s fear so I never dreamed of cheating but after hearing the warning myself it became clear.

You should never cheat.

“Of course I will be the proctor for this exam.”

As expected!

If he were a supervisor no matter how confident he was in his magic skills he wouldn’t even dream of cheating.

Some students had no choice but to close their eyes tightly as their last hope was trampled upon.

“Okay then the test begins.”

As soon as Ludger finished speaking a wind blew over the podium.

Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Each and every sheet of test paper placed on the podium.

Due to Ludger’s magic they were all blown by the wind and scattered in all directions.

The test papers that were distracting the eyes eventually slowly came down one by one in front of the students.

‘and.’

Passing test papers to 80 students using wind magic.

I had seen something similar before but at that time I only had the vague impression that it was amazing.

But while attending Seorn I learned magic and realized things I didn’t know.

I once again realize how absurd and great the image Ludger shows is.

The more you know the more you can see.

“It looks like no students want to go to the bathroom. “It looks like everything is fully prepared.”

Ludger took out a golden pocket watch from his pocket.

“The exam starts now.”

The first wall that Seorn’s freshmen must face.

The first test began with Ludger’s words.
