The Academy’s Undercover Professor – 92



◈ Episode 92 Celebration (2)

A banquet held to celebrate the arrival of new teachers in Seorn.

As I entered the banquet hall at the appointed time their eyes flew towards me like arrows as if they had been waiting.

‘There are a lot of people.’

I was embarrassed for a moment because all the eyes were filled with interest that was burdensome but I maintained my natural appearance and headed inside.

Rather than that don’t you usually play in a banquet hall to maintain a subtle atmosphere? Why are you still?

‘The banquet hasn’t started yet.’

Thinking that to myself I approached one wall and stood with my back to it in order to get as wide a view of the banquet hall as possible.

Time which had stopped for a moment began to flow again.

People who were talking among themselves continued their previous conversation and some people rolled their eyes and laughed as if they were having fun.

However the underlying behavior was full of pretense that was difficult to hide.

Rather it almost feels like an illusion that it is flowing outward and spreading around like a black fog.

‘Everyone is watching someone else not the person they are talking to.’

Especially me.

If I say this it may seem like I’m overly self-conscious but there’s no way I wouldn’t know because I’m sensitive to this kind of attention.

Most of the people were squinting or staring at me.

I could fully guess why.

‘It’s a celebratory banquet and this banquet hall itself is a kind of place for socializing.’

Seorn’s new teacher.

Since it has been proven that he is young and has excellent magical skills he probably thinks it would be good to create a little relationship with him.

As if my prediction was wrong the people who were just watching started to move one by one.

“Ohh. Miss Selina. nice to meet you “My name is Congressman Charles.”

“Are you a teacher Merilda? My name is Walt Miller director of a potion manufacturing company. “Are you interested?”

“oh. Count Chris Benimore. “As rumored you are really stylish.”

I checked the faces of the people gathered in this banquet hall.

All rich and noble people.

City council members nobles wealthy businessmen etc.

‘They are all supporters of Seorn.’

Seorn requires a huge budget for its operation.

Magic research class textbooks special materials all kinds of infrastructure etc.

Considering the cost of training one wizard the amount of money spent by the academy to train a large number of elite wizards every year is bound to be astronomical.

Wasn’t it enough to make your mouth drop just looking at my starting salary as a new teacher?

This is the amount of money spent just on the salary of a new teacher.

Considering other miscellaneous costs it would be difficult to imagine the exact amount.

‘It is difficult for Seorn Academy to cover the money on its own.’

Seorn is not an international bank and cannot print and distribute money like a factory.

In order to invest a large amount of money it is inevitable to receive external support.

And there are people everywhere who are amazingly good at smelling money.

People who need money.

People who have a lot of money but want to get more things.

This banquet hall was the place where the two people’s interests were precisely interlocked like puzzle pieces and the transaction blossomed.

‘That’s why Ceorn belongs to the Empire but not purely to the Empire.’

All types of countries are involved in Seorn’s investments.

Not only the Exilion Empire but also the Delike Queoden Utah Bretus Fatimid Dynasty etc.

And even giant capitalists without borders regardless of country.

It wouldn’t be surprising for them to put face stamps on talented people who might make a name for themselves in the future.

This is a kind of annual event that is held so often that it is now boring to ask why.

It is an opportunity to build personal connections under the pretext of congratulating the newly appointed teacher.

As I was looking at the sight of my desires wriggling someone approached me.

“nice to meet you. Are you Master Ludger Chelisi?”

I answered by nodding my head slightly.

“yes. “Yes but.”

“nice to meet you. “I am Count Deckers one of Seorn’s patrons.”

I was wondering why it wasn’t moving until now but I guess they were measuring the angle.

When Count Deckers took the first step the people who had been watching began to move one by one.

It’s difficult for someone to take up the gun at first but it’s easy after that.

I wasn’t happy about it.

‘What should I do with this? If we leave it like this all kinds of flies will be attracted.’

The reason I came here is not just to have an informal conversation with people I have never met.

I came with the intention of finding the First Order of the Black Dawn hiding in the banquet hall.

The process had to be natural and I didn’t want to be disturbed by anyone but people stuck with me from the beginning and things got complicated.

Now that things are like this I have no choice but to come out a little stronger.

“I’m sorry.”

I took on a somewhat heavy tone and spoke firmly to Count Deckers who had spoken to me.

“I don’t feel like talking to anyone right now.”

“Uh what?”

“I said I would appreciate it if you would leave for a moment.”

A blatant tone that said he didn’t even want to come here.

When I said that with narrowed eyes Count Deckers swallowed his saliva and quickly nodded.

“Uh um. That should be it. I’m sorry. I wasted my time for no reason. Heh heh!”

I’m fortunate that he’s a quick-witted person.

And the same goes for the people around him.

“Adventure adventure.”

“Hmm.”

When Count Deckers could not do anything and retreated the people watching from a distance cleared their throats and stepped back.

They are clearly inferior to Count Deckers.

Since Count Deckers couldn’t talk to him he immediately gave up and thought he couldn’t talk to him.

‘It looks like the first water change is roughly finished.’

The problem is that there are many people who haven’t given up yet.

I don’t know exactly who Count Deckers is but considering his position he must have been at least mid-ranking among the people gathered at this banquet hall.

The fact that there are people who do not give up their persistent gaze on me even though such a person has retreated naturally proves that their level is high.

‘It’s clear that they are quite annoying people.’

I don’t like it when people like that come forward and talk to me directly.

As I was wondering how to solve this a woman with pink hair and a pink dress caught my eye.

Ms. Selina.

She was now embarrassed by the blatant approach of a young man.

hmm. perhaps.

I turned away from the wall and walked towards Teacher Selina.

Some people see me moving and look at me curiously.

I lightly ignored them.

Someone tried to muster up the courage to talk to me but I blocked all of their actions with a light wave of my hand.

“Mr. Selina. How about having a drink somewhere nice over there? “I know a good place.”

“Ehehehe. sorry. “I don’t like unfamiliar places like that so…”

“no way. What are you leaving out? “It’s a place that’s hard for ordinary people to go to?”

“Oh no that means….”

“Let’s leave it at that.”

As I stepped forward and spoke the person who had been teasing Teacher Selina looked this way.

“What is this again?”

He must have thought he had been interrupted and his face twisted in frustration.

I stared at him in silence examining his appearance.

‘He is in his late 20s. Clothing that looks luxurious. Gorgeous decoration. Poor posture such as not standing properly and crossing one’s legs. A defiant look full of pride.’

And looked around.

‘All the guys who were targeting Teacher Selina retreated.’

Although Teacher Selina is a commoner she is skilled enough to become Seorn’s teacher at a young age.

Moreover she was strikingly beautiful and had a good personality so she must have seemed quite attractive to people looking for connections.

On the contrary it would have been easier to approach him because he was a commoner and not a noble but when that young man stepped forward there was only one reason why the others backed off.

‘It sounds like you’re a young master of quite high status.’

It’s also a family so good that even some middle-aged nobles can’t say anything about it.

but.

That has nothing to do with me.

“It’s rude to do that to a woman who is in trouble.”

“Ah so who are you?”

At that time Teacher Selina turned to me and opened her eyes.

“Mr Ludger!”

“Ludger? what. “Who is that?”

Even though I said your name you still don’t understand it?

I was quite embarrassed to see him say that sincerely and not intentionally.

I was just wondering whether I should introduce myself as a newly appointed teacher at Seorn.

An older-looking man hurriedly approached from among the crowd walked up to the man in front of him and whispered something to him.

It’s dressed according to the dress code for this party but I can feel it.

That man who is whispering to me right now. He’s a wizard.

I guess he’s telling me who I am right now.

“what. so?”

But this man’s reaction far exceeded my expectations.

“Ludger Chelsea? “Well I’m a new teacher who just took office so what does that have to do with me?”

“That thing….”

“hey. “You there you’re a Ludger or something.”

A man who openly points at me and treats me rudely.

I was so dumbfounded that I just watched without answering and then he pointed at himself and shamelessly asked.

“you. “Don’t you know who I am?”

Do I need to know that?

As I was staring blankly with that intention in mind the man sighed as if he was dumbfounded.

“under. really. Maybe it’s because he’s a fallen aristocrat but he doesn’t have anything in his head. “I got it.”

At those words the faces of the nobles who were watching this situation became cold.

However some people who knew about this man showed signs of resignation as if they knew this would happen.

If you look at that reaction it’s not like you’ve been acting like this for a day or two.

“My name is Ivan Luke. Have you heard of it? Don’t you know Luke? “When it comes to Luke’s even beggars in the back alleys have probably heard of it.”

How could I not know?

I am also familiar with Luke’s company.

Luke Corporation founded by Theodor Luke is one of the wealthiest conglomerates in the empire.

Rook Company has spread its capital influence so widely throughout the empire that it is known that if money exists there it will reach out regardless of field.

Of course as a businessman the name Luke was something he could never take lightly.

Above all.

Luke Corp. is the owner of Kunst which is hosting the upcoming auction.

Considering that Ivan’s last name is Luke he is probably related to Theodor Luke the founder of Luke.

When I thought of him as a second-generation chaebol with no scruples the image of the person in front of me immediately made sense.

“I am Isaiah of such a place. know? “It’s just that a fallen noble like you is not someone who would dare look into the eyes and talk to me.”

“….”

“If you understand get out of the way right? “I’ll forgive you for interrupting my enjoyment for so long.”

This situation is getting annoying.

I just intervened with the intention of removing the flies that were stuck to Miss Selina and the ants that were stuck to me as well.

After all the person involved was the director of Luke.

A second-generation chaebol who is not cheap at all.

It was like hitting a beehive while trying to avoid a fly.

but.

Come on.

Teacher Selina’s delicate hands holding my sleeves behind my back were trembling.

If I step down from here that bastard will try to drag Teacher Selina away by force.

…I guess this can’t be helped.

“hey. “You want me to get out of the way quickly?”

“I’m sorry.”

I said staring at Ivan with unwavering eyes.

“Miss Selina has a prior agreement with me.”

I naturally blurted out a lie without even putting saliva in my mouth.

“Isn’t that right? “Mr. Selina.”

“ah.”

She must have read something in that action and quickly nodded.

“yes yes. that’s right.”

Ivan Luke’s face was distorted horribly.

“hey. “Are you kidding me?”

“Do you think I’m joking?”

“what? under. This is a fun guy. hey. “Did you think I would step down because you were Seorn’s teacher and all?”

Ivan said that and walked towards me.

Then he raised his right hand and tried to push my shoulder.

But he couldn’t do that.

Because it was quicker for me to grab his wrist.

“You… what are you doing? “Aren’t you going to let go of this?”

“Since you said so I’ll give you the same back.”

I said tightening my grip on Ivan’s wrist.

“Did you think I would step down if I became the director of Luke’s company?”
