Academy’s Undercover Professor Chapter 407

Chapter 407 What’s Left After (2)

People were nervous.

The revived wizards swallowed their saliva and contemplated whether or not to cast magic.

beast.

It was a very dangerous guy if you look at the aura he gave off.

A pre-emptive strike before he attacks first…

‘Oops.’

However, the moment Yeongsu’s eyes turned to him, he had to put that thought aside.

That was not an opponent that he would dare to defeat just because he jumped at him.

The moment I met them, I could feel that I was being pushed to the bottom of Mother Nature’s food chain, even though I was a human being.

“Youngsu. That is a receipt.”

Someone who recognized the deer muttered that.

The wizards reacted more violently to the word Yeonsu.

“You said Yeongsoo was real?”

“Why is a guy who has never been seen in Kassar Basin until now…”

Young-soo shouldn’t touch him even more.

Young-soo’s existence has high academic value, but we couldn’t treat him carelessly.

They have intelligence comparable to that of humans and perhaps even more.

Besides, the wizards gathered here are those who seek magic and mystery, not those who catch and skin mysterious creatures.

Of course, there were people who were blinded by the existence of Yeongsu and showed their greed.

Gregorium of the old magic tower was representative of this.

However, he failed to show his hostility toward Young-soo.

It was because a person jumped down behind Yeongsu’s back.

“Uh huh? It’s a person!”

People’s eyes were soon focused on the person who rode the spirit beast.

The man who fell from the air landed on the ground gently generating magical energy.

There is also a section.

also light

Ekaterina widened her eyes when she saw the man sitting next to her.

Derek and Gregorium were also surprised.

“Lou Rudger Celish…”

Unemotional blue eyes staring at her.

Ludgar Celish, who headed to the forest to stop Belkat, was safely brought back to life.

And even while riding the spirit beast that exists in the forest.

People opened their eyes after closing their eyes at the unbelievable sight.

what now A person came riding a spirit beast? does that make sense?

As people’s attention focused, Ludger opened his mouth to Youngsoo.

“You may as well go. Thanks for taking me.”

Surprisingly, Youngsoo nodded as if he understood what he was saying.

Huh. The wizards burst into admiration.

It was rumored that at the age of Yeongsoo, he could understand human language and communicate with them.

Whoa!

A huge amount of magic power emanated from Youngsoo’s body.

The momentum of that magical power was so great that even Arpa and Sempas Roina, who were returning to the outpost just in time, felt it.

Young-soo, who gradually rose high into the air, was soon enveloped in pure white light.

Brilliant light as if looking at the stars in the sky up close.

A mass of flashes was shot in the direction of the forest.

The white and golden mana drew a long trajectory and scattered in the air.

People were mesmerized by the beautiful sight.

Eventually, as Youngsoo completely disappeared beyond the forest, they turned their heads and stared at Ludger as if possessed.

Landing on the ground, Rudger tidied up his disheveled hair and lightly pulled his collar.

The same calm face and attitude as usual.

People felt a strange feeling at the sight.

It’s great, but it’s so calm that it feels rather unreal.

Then Rudger opened his mouth.

“There must still be issues for us to deal with. The Gregorian Wizard.”

“…”

Gregorium bit his lip.

The flames of jealousy were burning in his eyes as he stared at Ludger.

It was not enough to be alive in that situation, so to return to the outpost on Yeongsu.

Gregorium could hardly think of a more attention-grabbing act.

But what’s important now is what’s happening right in front of you.

“A problem to deal with? Was there anything like that between us?”

Gregorium insisted that he knew nothing at all.

“Are you saying you’re going to stay ignorant after running away to live alone?”

“ah. It is unavoidable that they split up because of ‘differences of opinion’.”

At those words, Rudgar slightly curved the corners of his eyes.

Are you going to come out like that?

“If you can call a unilateral withdrawal without consultation an opinion.”

“What’s wrong with that? In the end, our judgment was correct. The leylines of the cliff burst, but the Cassar Basin did not collapse.”

Even if the process is not good, if the result is good, isn’t it enough?

Gregorium’s words had such a meaning.

“I guess so. However, the Kuma Tower forsaken their duty and only sought a way to live on their own. The resulting loss of trust will be unavoidable.”

In a way, the Kuma Tower’s move was to strangle them.

It was said that if everything was moved according to the profit relationship, even a close relationship could be easily knocked out at any time.

The Kuma Tower is not an organization that simply serves the domestic market.

They also get funds by collaborating with various external organizations and corporate families.

Because that’s modern society.

The most important thing in such a business relationship is mutual trust.

There are two types of trust.

Either human trust or trust made up of a relationship of gain.

However, the weight of this trust is not established with only one side.

It’s just a difference in proportion, but both are bound to be included.

However, the Kuma Tower has completely destroyed even the minimum human trust relationship in this area.

Right now, we trade because it’s mutually beneficial, but what about later?

The move that the Kuma Tower showed meant that they could change their attitude as easily as flipping the palm of their hand if it didn’t go against their will at any time.

At Ludger’s words, Gregorium felt ashamed as well.

In fact, Gregorium was also concerned about this part.

It was because the moment he retreated from here, he left a pretty big mark on the reputation of the Kuma Tower.

It was also an act that put Gregorium’s own position in his exorcism tower at risk.

However, compared to risking a position versus risking one’s life, the former is of course much better.

Don’t you have a position to live in?

‘I didn’t know that he would come back alive in this situation in the first place.’

Gregorium judged that the Cassar Basin was already hopeless.

It was certainly not a bad decision to move with the thought that those who live should live.

But whether it is correct is ultimately determined by the result.

In that sense, Gregorium’s judgment was greatly wrong at the point where the Cassar Basin had not collapsed.

Every choice comes with a price.

And Gregorium had to pay the price for the wrong choices he made.

“Don’t be ridiculous! What’s wrong with making the obvious choice!”

However, Gregorium could not accept the situation as it was.

I couldn’t help it, even if it was shameless.

It was unfair because it was unfair.

In his view, the collapse of the Kasar Basin was a catastrophe that could not be prevented.

Besides, it was vaguely felt from afar, but the wave of magic that was felt from the side of the cliff was by no means ordinary.

At least 6th tier great magic.

From Gregorium’s point of view, who had witnessed it in the past, there was no way he wouldn’t know that such magic had unfolded.

“You should have fought against a 6th tier wizard? Even so, it only increased the damage, but is it so wrong to want to reduce the damage!”

“Because the only ones who reduced the damage were their own people. And didn’t you decide to retreat before you even knew your opponent was in the 6th tier?”

Ludgar reacted sharply to Gregorium’s reaction.

Gregorium let out a sigh and looked around.

It was a disadvantage, so I tried to ask for help from others.

There were also some businessmen and magician nobles who had connections to the Kuma Tower.

But no one tried to help Gregorium.

Rather, as soon as their eyes met, they pretended not to know and turned their heads away, ignoring Gregorium.

They didn’t know that if they step out here, let alone help, they would fall into a pit together.

“this person….!”

These ungrateful humans!

Gregorium was furious, but from the perspective of others, he had to be careful not to spark unnecessary sparks.

On the contrary, I didn’t even have a little hot heart.

If they ran away without fighting, why are you asking for help now?

Feeling that gaze, Gregorium felt a sense of dismay.

But he didn’t give up his pride until the end.

“….so. Are you trying to hold me accountable now? Wasn’t it those suspicious guys who killed people in the first place! They are all dead!”

“I plan to find out more about them later. The important thing now is to point out the behavior that increased the number of victims through arbitrary actions even though the damage could have been reduced.”

“Is this asking me to take responsibility for all of this?”

At that, Rudger laughed.

“I didn’t mean to take responsibility. I just thought it would be good for everyone here to know.”

“…..”

“I have no right to punish you. As Seorn’s teacher, if I touch the exorcism tower, it will cause a big problem. But telling the truth doesn’t matter.”

Rudger said that and looked around.

“And those who accept the truth are free to decide what they think of the Kuma Tower and how to respond to it.”

As if to prove that, Derek Olsen and Ekaterina proudly stood next to Ludger.

Gregorium’s face flushed red.

He felt that people’s gaze toward him was not good.

Gregorium instinctively felt the crisis that if he couldn’t solve it here, he would be doomed.

But no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t see a breakthrough.

Even if this side backed up their authority and tried to press Ludger back, the situation was hopeless.

Wasn’t he the one who rode Yeong-soo and returned in the first place?

In this place, Rudger has become a separate entity that is now difficult to touch.

How do you deal with that?

“…wait and see.”

Gregorium quietly backed away, realizing that anything else would only make him uglier.

Of course, I didn’t forget to promise myself that I wouldn’t be easily defeated like this.

Ekaterina, who was watching the wizards of the exorcism tower retreat like defeated soldiers, burst into laughter before long.

After that, isn’t it to hold on to the stomach and laugh at it?

It was a shame that the sound was so low that only Derek and Rudger could hear it, otherwise everyone else would have been shocked.

The real Ekaterina barely smiled at Ludger.

“thank you. Thanks to you, an annoying problem has been solved.”

“It was nothing.”

“Rather than that, how the hell did Young-soo get on board? What happened in that forest?”

Ekaterina’s eyes were full of curiosity about this situation.

It was Barencina who just returned from simple treatment, and her older brothers, Bartali and Derek Olsen, who supported such a younger sister.

They were not unaware of the situation, so they were staring at Rudger.

“I’m sure the story will be long.”

Rudger let out a small sigh and entered the barracks.

The people around looked at it in bewilderment, and Ekaterina ordered them to do their own work for now.

* * *

Several people gathered in the barracks.

Most of them were the heads of each organization who gathered to share opinions before starting the operation.

Of course, compared to before, the number was considerably reduced.

There was a dead person, and the exorcism tower, including Gregorium, which accounted for a large part, did not even shine.

Instead, Arfa and Sempas Roina, who should not have been there originally, were in the seat.

Where should I start talking?

Rudger weighed it in his mind before opening his mouth.

“I don’t know anything else, but it’s better to start by explaining what happened in the forest.”

No one vomited at those words.

There was no one here who did not wonder what was going on in the woods.

The existence of the spirit beast, and most of all, even the appearance of the elemental lord of the earth.

“First of all, I think everyone will know the existence of the culprit by hearing the story in advance.”

Belkat Benmark.

He faked his own death in the mansion and was actually behind all of this.

It was the same with Limray who collaborated with him.

“Belkart broke the leyline of the cliff. But just in time, the overflowing leylines in the forest began to stabilize again.”

“How is that possible?”

Liumea, one of the people in charge of the New Mage Tower, asked.

Her complexion was not very good, for she had suffered the most from Amar’s poison.

It wasn’t because he was careless, but rather it was because he took his place instead to protect the same colleagues.

Fortunately, thanks to the antidote, life is not affected, but it is a state that should be rested and rested.

Even so, I came here because I wanted to know how the situation was going.

“Once a leyline burst, it is difficult to suppress it with normal magic power in order to stabilize it again. It can be broken by a 6th tier mage alone, but it takes 5x that to stop it. But if you blocked it, who the hell is that?”

“They were beasts of the forest.”

Rudger quietly nodded at Liumea’s disbelieving gaze.

“The organisms that have lived and stayed in the Cassar Basin for a long time. The beasts, who were never defeated by the amount of magical power they possessed, came together in one mind to stabilize the leyline.”

“It can’t be…”

Liumea couldn’t believe it, but Roina stepped forward and answered instead.

“There are plenty of possibilities. Right away, we also confirmed the existence of Yeongsu, right? With that in mind, it wouldn’t be surprising if the animals in Kasar Basin showed special movements.”

“In fact, even Yeongsoo fought against Belcart to protect the forest. In the meantime, Belkat tried to destroy the stabilized leyline again, but then a new miracle happened.”

“Elemental lord of the earth.”

Someone’s muttering echoed in the barracks.

There is no one who has not seen the existence of a huge rocky mountain rising beyond the forest.

Everyone saw the scene, so of course they knew how this incident ended.

But even though I saw it, I still feel like I’m dreaming with my eyes open.

There is much more credence to the hypothesis that it was simply a group hallucination caused by the mysterious phenomenon of the Kassar Basin.

“That’s how it happened.”

However, Rudger, who was watching the situation closely, gave a definite answer.

The people gathered at the table eventually had no choice but to accept reality.

* * *

All the people in the barracks dispersed, and Ludger also left the barracks.

The fight was over, so I thought I’d take a break to clear my messy head.

Fortunately, in the midst of the chaos, the barracks he rented were safe even in the midst of this chaos.

Someone followed Ludger as he headed towards the barracks, thinking that at least he would not have to carry his luggage again.

“…Queen Ekaterina?”

He wondered who it was, and saw Yekaterina, who had followed him alone without an escort.

why is she here

Before such a question, Ekaterina bowed her head politely toward Ludger.

“Thank you for your help. Thanks to that, we were able to survive.”

“…Keep your head up. It’s not nice when someone sees it.”

“It doesn’t matter if you look at it. Of course, benefactors have to do this.”

“I didn’t do much in the first place.”

“It’s something I’m grateful for just fighting with my best.”

She is truly a stubborn girl in this area.

‘But did you come here separately to say thank you?’

The moment I thought so, Ekaterina threw a question like a surprise.

“By the way, Mr. Machiavelli, why do you hide your true identity and work as a teacher?”
