The Academy’s Undercover Professor – 84



◈ Episode 84 First Test (3)

Dang dang dang.

The bell rang signaling the end of the exam.

“It’s over. Stop writing everything. “If you are caught doing something foolish here it will be considered cheating and you will be given 0 points.”

Ludger’s warning was effective.

Because students suddenly stopped playing with their pens.

Ludger would have been the kind of person who would have survived even if he had torn up the test paper on the spot and received a 0.

“Instructor Sedina.”

“yes.”

When Ludger called her name Sedina stood up and hurriedly collected the students’ test papers one by one.

When the test paper completely left their hands the students sighed perhaps realizing that the test was over.

“Ugh. “I should have studied a little harder.”

“ah! I know this! “Oh the equation is correct but I made a mistake and the answer is wrong!”

“Oh. Is this correct? hey. “What did you write about this?”

“Oh I’m annoyed. “I corrected it for no reason and got it wrong!”

“How can you not understand the book?”

The students gathered together and graded the answers but this did not change the answers they had already written down.

Sedina recovered all 80 test papers organized them neatly and brought them to Ludger.

“Good job.”

Ludger took the test paper and took it.

“Everyone had a hard time taking the first exam. “There are still two more days left for the first test so don’t overdo it and make sure you are in the best condition.”

Of course even if I say this a student who is going to cram will still cram.

Still as a teacher I only did it because students needed advice.

Ludger left the lecture room after saying those words.

“Whoa.”

This is the first exam I take after entering Seorn.

Although she had just finished the first part Line felt relieved as she felt that she had overcome the biggest barrier.

‘No. There are still a lot of exams left right? Let’s not become slack already.’

Still the reason I can think so positively is probably because I thought I did pretty well on the test.

Of the 20 questions not a single one was submitted blank.

This was thanks to constant review.

When I first saw the test questions I wondered if there was something so difficult but after looking at it closely I realized that wasn’t necessarily the case.

As I went with the flow and solved the problems in a trance three hours had passed.

‘thank god. ‘There’s no way I can’t solve everything because I don’t have enough time.’

Liné looked to the side with a slightly relieved heart.

I was thinking of asking Erendir if he had a good time.

‘But since she’s the princess and a senior she must have seen it better than me.’

Unlike her who was confused at first Erendir immediately started solving the problem.

Since Erendir is a senior and a member of the royal family this test must have been a little easier.

With that in mind Line who was about to ask had no choice but to hold off on doing so for a moment.

“senior?”

“Huh? “Why are you doing this?”

“Oh no. “He… he looked a little very embarrassed.”

“Uh huh? “Is that so?”

It was just as Line said.

Where had his confidence gone before taking the first test? After submitting the test paper Erendir was feeling restless.

Shaking legs and stuttering.

That reaction is like someone who failed an exam…

‘Oh I guess not. There’s no way your senior would do that right?’

Line asked trying to ignore the negative thoughts creeping up on her.

“senior. Did you do well on the test? Just like Mr. Ludger said everything came from what he taught me in class!”

“Uh… really?”

Is it true?

The moment she heard Erendir ask Rine felt the corner of her mouth twitch involuntarily.

My anxious imagination was gradually becoming reality.

“senior. “I… I don’t know if it’s okay to ask this question.”

“uh? Uh oh. doesn’t care. “If you have any questions please ask.”

“The test… did you ruin it?”

“….”

Erendir who answered confidently pursed his lips.

“…senior?”

“….”

Isn’t he even turning his head to avoid her gaze?

The tips of her ears visible through her gorgeous blonde hair were red.

Erendir was feeling embarrassed now.

“Senior no way….”

Liné felt like even her imagination was daring to insult her but she couldn’t help but ask.

“Did you really fail the test?”

flinch!

Erendir’s shoulders shook at Line’s question.

ah.

Liné realized that clear reaction.

Erendir is the third princess of the empire who was called everyone’s idol.

I ruined this test.

“…Really? Oh no right? Is it because you’re not in a good mood today? Are there too many things to worry about these days? Reflections on the future of the country? “Is it because of something like that?”

In fact his condition didn’t even look bad.

Wasn’t Erendir the one who focused more on solving the test than anyone else?

But Line was so confused that she had to believe it at least.

At least in her opinion the princess was a great person who easily ranked high in any field.

“Hmm. “That junior from Lin’s?”

After regaining his composure to some extent Erendir cleared his throat and opened his mouth.

“People. No matter what there is a specific field that you are good at. If there’s something you’re good at there’s something you’re not good at. So what this means is that no one is good at anything. Do you understand?”

“Uh… So it’s not that you’re in bad shape or that you’re particularly tired today… you just couldn’t take the test?”

“Rine’s junior. I can’t believe I didn’t pass the test. Just tell me it didn’t go as well as usual.”

“…Sir just in case what was your rank last year?”

As Line remembers Seorn has more than 800 students in each grade.

Of course as students go to higher grades the number of students who drop out or drop out increases so the number in upper grades decreases significantly.

Every year a similar number of new students arrive.

And Erendir is in his second year this year.

In that case it would not have been strange if her grades as a freshman were at least 800.

“…Why are you asking about Seokcha? Rine’s junior. “I’m sure you don’t judge people based on their rank or do anything like that right?”

“Surely it’s not in the top 500?”

“…!”

The moment Rine saw Erendir’s eyes widen as he looked back she was surprised.

I just filmed it as a joke!

Erendir who seemed like the best student in the world is actually really bad at studying theory!

It was very shocking.

The third princess always moves alone because even other nobles are overwhelmed by her aura and cannot approach her carelessly.

Just by looking at her appearance she seems like a typical model student.

In the theory class I barely ranked in the lower to mid-level!

“But still…! “When it comes to practical classes they rank high!”

Erendir desperately cries out as if making an excuse.

It wasn’t a lie.

In the case of theory writing 500th place out of 800 students. She was barely in the bottom half of the rankings but when it came to practical skills she was in the top 30.

However because he was born into a good family and has a natural bloodline his magical power is much higher than that of other students.

The parts related to actual combat were only possible because I received thorough early training before coming to Seorn.

However Erendir seemed like he would burst into tears if he did not at least acknowledge it so Rine hastily nodded and agreed.

“Uh um. Well you could say that! Moreover these days there is a stronger tendency to value practice over theory right?”

“Isn’t that right? Hmm. Of course I admit that I am lacking in theory and knowledge but I am also proud of my skills as a magician.”

Even though Liné was sweating coldly she responded to Erendir’s words.

But inside I couldn’t help but let out a slightly helpless laugh.

‘After all you shouldn’t judge people by their appearance.’

It would not be an illusion to feel that the noble image of the princess she knew was gradually being destroyed.

The president’s office is located on the highest floor of Seorn’s main building.

There President Elisa looked down through the window.

“The first test has finally begun.”

Wilford who brought the refreshments nodded to Elisa’s words.

“It would be nice if all students achieved good results.”

“If you try hard it will definitely happen.”

“I guess so?”

A test taken a total of 4 times per semester.

Since a year is divided into two semesters students must take tests as many as eight times a year.

The bachelor’s course itself was quite rigorous so it wasn’t just the students who found it difficult or tiring but also the teachers who submitted the exams.

Above all because the task was to raise elite wizards the tests sometimes became quite intense and extreme.

Therefore in Seorn as each grade went up there were a lot of students who fell behind.

First test of the first semester.

Students who pride themselves on being geniuses find themselves competing with students in similar situations for the first time.

You realize how narrow a well you have been living in.

You may have vaguely felt it during class but there is a clear difference between being vaguely aware of it and showing it as a clear result.

In the case of discouraged students it was not uncommon for them to leave Seorn after the first test.

“I hope many students will hold out this time.”

“So you deliberately asked me to take the first test lightly?”

“I did. Of course even if we do that the children who will fall away will fall away.”

Elisha felt sorry for that.

She didn’t see the competition itself as a bad thing. However my honest feeling is that I would like to avoid as much as possible the ruin of some students due to excessive competition.

As president of Seorn she wanted to ensure that the largest number of students could receive a great education and develop their talents.

“More than that how are all the new teachers this time? It must have been my first time working as a teacher and giving test questions. “I guess you weren’t nervous?”

“Would you like to take a look?”

Wilford took the test paper he had prepared and handed it to the president.

In the case of test questions this was possible because the president had the authority to look at them directly.

Among the new teachers those who gave the theory test were Brino from the Golem Studies class and Chris Benimore and Ludger Chelish from the Apparition Department.

In particular this test was a matchup full of curiosity even among Seorn’s teachers as two new teachers who were polar opposites of each other were taking a theory test in the same field.

“Hmm. In Mr. Brino’s case he raised questions about the magic circuit that drives the golem and the structural mechanics of the golem that is generally easy to operate. The level of difficulty itself seems to be okay.”

“yes. “I think it’s okay because he has a special affection for golems.”

Elisa quickly glanced over the test questions created by Brino and nodded with a satisfied face.

It didn’t show anything that exceeded expectations but since it was just average there didn’t seem to be any problems.

“What’s next for Chris Benimore and Ludgar Chelish?”

“Would you like to compare?”

“In fact you can’t help but compare.”

Wilford nodded with a wry smile.

Elisa quickly scanned the test questions created by Chris.

“Hmm. “Mr. Chris as if to show off raised problems with <Magic Release> and <Attribute Elements>.”

“yes. which….”

“The same goes for Professor Ludger.”

No matter how different the grade levels were the fact that the test questions were so blatantly in the same field was like Chris declaring war on Ludger.

“I guess losing the sparring bet at that time hurt my pride a lot.”

“After that day the Hugo Bourtegue faction had no choice but to walk around with their heads down for about a week.”

“That’s right. The sight of him complaining about everything and then keeping his mouth shut was really refreshing but it’s a pity. “I feel like I have regained my former self-esteem.”

Elisa chuckled as she looked at Chris’ test questions.

“Anyway this test question seems like Teacher Chris’s simple revenge. No isn’t that simple? “It seems like he put a lot of effort into other things.”

As a result Chris Benimore’s test paper was filled with difficult questions filled with jargon and full of all kinds of difficult words.

“I am indeed. What kind of test is this? “He’s just bragging about his knowledge.”

Elisha clicked his tongue and shook his head.

Chris Benimore’s excessive desire to win and boast about himself eventually led to the test questions being asked to an absurd level.

Will students be able to solve these problems properly?

Even worse the ability to differentiate was significantly reduced because it was just made difficult.

“I told you to do the basics for the first test but you’re already playing around like this. “In particular this theory can only be learned in the third year.”

Of course even though it was a course taught in the third year there were still students who knew about it.

Upper class noble students.

They would have received education before entering Seorn.

But on the other hand ordinary students could not do that.

The problem itself is differentiated so that only students from a certain class can solve it.

Favoritism toward noble students.

“ha. “Really.”

Elisha was having a hard time.

However you can’t blame teacher Chris Benimore for this.

First of all the test questions themselves are at the teacher’s discretion and it would be unsightly for her the president to interfere with this aspect.

Just because she was the president of Seorn she couldn’t do whatever she wanted.

“Well then let’s see how Mr. Ludger came up with the problem.”

If he was his usual self he might have been more not less than Chris.

Or maybe the problem itself is monotonous because of the overly rigid atmosphere?

Elisa looked at Ludger’s test questions with that thought in mind.

“…Huh?”

Her eyes widened as if she was completely surprised.
