Academy’s Undercover Professor Chapter 287

◈ Episode 287 raid on the secret branch (2)

“Don’t lie! Do you think I would fall for such a trick?”

“If you’re really unreliable, send a signal.”

“what?”

Carl stared at Ludger with the gaze of a madman.

But Ludger’s expression was serious.

‘no way?’

Carl immediately sent a signal to Pyrene through the beacon.

It was normal for the signal to return periodically after sending a signal like this.

But the result is silence.

Carl licked his lips.

Even if he seemed to be fooling around, he never didn’t reply.

Even so, if there is no reply, there is only one remaining case.

It was Pyrene.

‘Pyren’s personality is garbage, but his ability is certain. But did you get hurt? How? Did he send a high-ranking knight?’

In reality, it wasn’t even a high-ranking knight, but a master knight of the leader level. Of course, Carl didn’t know that far.

The important thing is that he has now lost all means of intimidating the monster in front of him.

The end of a person who made threats, not negotiations, was, as always, a bad law.

“Have you finished talking?”

Rudger slowly approached the knife.

Carl felt the illusion of a giant like Mount Tai walking toward him.

A giant who could crush people like himself like worms with just a light wave of his hand.

Carl gritted his teeth and pushed away his desire to be weak.

“Yes, no matter what you do, you won’t be able to get the information you want from me.”

It was a courageous statement, but Ludger responded with a cold gaze.

“Most people say that. You don’t know what will happen to you in the future.”

“No bluff! I am different from the ordinary Liberation Army comrades! I have been trained for a long time and will never open my mouth no matter how much I torture you!”

Carl’s voice contained a firm conviction that he could endure any pain.

Rather, he even sent a provocative look at Rudger, telling him to try it if he could.

“Ludger Chelsea. I admit that your skills and manners are great. But can a mere teacher really know how to make people open their mouths?”

“You have to do it to know that.”

Rudger said that and placed the palm of his hand on Carl’s forehead.

It was the moment Carl was about to ask what the hell he was doing.

“It’s dark…!”

He immediately poured blood from his mouth.

It wasn’t just the mouth. Blood flowed from his nose, and blood came from his eyes and ears.

My head was dizzy and I felt like my intestines were twisting. My tinnitus rang like a sting, and nausea continued to rise.

Carl still didn’t understand what had happened to the incomprehensible sensations on his body.

“Why? Weren’t you confident that you could endure all the pain?”

“Cool! What are you doing… …!”

“You look pretty surprised. I guess so. What you are going through now will be a new pain that no one knows about.”

Carl glared at Ludger with wide eyes.

However, unlike the moment before, when there was no shaking, his eyes were clearly shaking.

“What was that just about?”

“It is magic.”

“Magic?”

“What else can a magic teacher do other than magic?”

The magic Rudger used was simple.

It uses sound magic derived from the wind attribute.

Sound is, after all, vibrations in the air.

If the vibration is raised to the limit, it can cause great pain to the opponent, just like the werewolf subdued before.

The vibration applied inside the body distorts the flow of blood, shakes the organs of the body, and eventually damages the brain and semicircular canals.

“There can be no magic like this….”

“That won’t be. Because this is a magic I devised myself.”

“What?”

“It is a technology that was originally conceived only theoretically. But it was too dangerous, so I was considering using it. There won’t be much use for something like this.”

But now I used it on Carl.

Carl was speechless at that.

How could a person who would become a teacher at a magic academy study such terrible magic?

“Of course, this magic isn’t perfect either. conditions are difficult Since it is the process of infusing mana into the body of the opponent, it is useless if the mana repulsive force occurs, and it is only possible if there is contact with the palm of the hand like this.”

Rudger said that and placed his palm on Carl’s forehead again.

“In other words. It is a magic that can produce the highest efficiency now that satisfies all of those tricky conditions.”

“Quaaaaaagh!”

As Ludger’s mana, which had penetrated his body through his forehead, vibrated violently, Carl could not stand it and let out a scream.

Until now, I thought I was confident that I could endure most of the pain, but this was a different level of pain.

Carl tried to make a fuss, but when Ludger cast his magic, a shadow rose and bound his limbs.

“Ouch! stop! Oh no!”

Ludger withdrew his hand as Karl coughed up blood and screamed.

Carl immediately lowered his head.

Perhaps because of the pain, he salivated at the corner of his mouth.

“Ouch. Ah, the academy teacher… …How could you do such a terrible thing… ….”

“You say something interesting. Yes, you Liberation Army guys were like that in the beginning too.”

“what…?”

“The magic engineering train terror incident that happened on the day I was appointed as Seorn. The wizard who was dying then said the same thing. It’s amazing. How can you keep all these brazen people in one organization?”

Rudger said that and roughly trampled the kneeling Karl’s thigh with his shoe.

“Keugh!”

“The pain you inflicted on my disciple is not even one thousandth of this. But you don’t even think about what you did, you only think about what you received.”

“…It was necessary for our compatriots.”

“At the expense of their compatriots? It’s the exact opposite of what you do for your fellow countrymen.”

“It is an inevitable sacrifice! I couldn’t help it to make the world right! Because the world has to give up something to gain something.”

Carl shouted desperately as the veins built up in his neck.

It was a word that wouldn’t even work, but at least he sincerely believed it.

It was only because of endless hatred towards those who had it and repeated self-brainwashing.

Rudger growled.

“So you threatened the child’s family by holding them hostage? Even by forcibly joining the liberation army and threatening the lives of innocent people who have nothing to do with it?”

“They are the same commoners! It’s my duty to break the damn nobles and bureaucracy! Compatriots from all over the world must unite and fight for that! That’s your duty!”

“….”

Rudger kept his mouth shut.

It wasn’t that I was speechless, it was that I didn’t even feel the need to.

Carl’s ferocious eyes showed that he was speaking the whole truth.

Rudger suddenly remembered the reason he got caught up in this absurd incident.

Magic Train Terror.

Even at that time, the liberation troops who rushed into the train attempted suicide terrorism by giving their own lives even after being hit by John Doe’s magic.

Those who want to achieve what they want, even at the cost of their own lives.

Rudger had seen such people much longer than that.

It was Bretus Castle.

There seemed to be no difference between them and the Liberation Army, who shouted indiscriminate praise to God.

Maybe that’s why he didn’t think to convince Carl.

I didn’t even want to do that in the first place.

“okay. I was just talking useless nonsense. There are certain things to be done anyway.”

“…!”

It was only then that Carl remembered that Ludger was torturing him for a different purpose in the first place.

When he regained his reason, his face turned pale.

The skin was pale, but the blood was flowing, so it was like seeing a living ghost.

“Don’t expect it. May your faith endure yet more pain.”

“sleep…!”

Rudger didn’t listen to Carl and placed his palm on his forehead again.

And the magic worked.

Leo was restless with anxiety.

Aidan, who was watching from the side, couldn’t help stopping his actions.

It was because Aidan knew how nervous Leo was right now.

Leo made the right choice even though he knew he would be in danger.

But that didn’t mean he could accept the death of his family.

The Leo Aidan knew was brusque on the outside but kind on the inside, strong on the outside but tender on the inside.

“It will be fine. Because Mr. Rudger stepped in.”

“….”

Despite Aidan’s consolation, Leo didn’t say anything.

It was like someone who thought that if he opened his mouth right now, some misfortune might come.

At that moment, Leo shook his shoulders and straightened his posture.

Aidan could immediately understand the reason for Leo’s sudden change of attitude.

It was because Rudger was approaching from afar.

Ludger had such an overwhelming presence that even from a distance one could tell that it was Rudger Chelsea.

Next to Ludger was a young blond-haired young man who moved with him.

Behind them, two women were escorted along.

“ah.”

Leo’s eyes widened.

It was to find out who Ludger had brought.

Leo jumped out of his seat and ran towards his family.

Leo, who stopped in front of his mother and sister, confirmed that the two were fine, and then moved his lips a few times before turning his head away.

“brother. Don’t you have anything else to say to Mom and me?”

The younger sister glared at her as if she didn’t say that she was okay.

Leo’s younger sister had the same hair color as Leo, but was tall enough to be called an older sister rather than a younger sister.

When I first saw Rudger, I even wondered why she was my sister.

“Hey Lennar. stop it.”

It was Leo’s mother who stepped forward to stop his younger sister, Lenar.

This is also quite unexpected for Ludger.

Looking weak, she looked very young, unlike a mother with two sons and daughters.

From the looks of the sons and daughters, I knew that the mother’s beauty was not normal, but even her body was small, so she far exceeded the level of her baby face.

Kind of like Caroline Monarch.

Rudger could see that Leo’s height, which was small for his age, resembled his mother’s.

“Leo must have had a hard time too. So stop.”

“But Mom!”

“And now is not the time to talk about this. You should say thank you first.”

Leo’s mother, who had scolded her daughter Lenar in a grown-up manner, looked at Ludger and bowed her head.

“Thank you for your help. My name is Leo’s mother, Helena.”

“My name is Rudgar Chelsea.”

“Nice to meet you. And I want to say thank you again. Thanks to that, my family was able to stay safe.”

“I was just doing my job as a teacher.”

Only then did Renard and Leo, who realized the situation, bow their heads to Ludger.

“Thank you for your help.”

“thank you.”

Leo was especially sincere.

He gritted his teeth and endured the emotions that were about to burst out even now.

Rudger looked at the scene and put another word in his mouth.

“The long-awaited field trip has gone awry.”

“…yes?”

“Then my family came to visit me, so why not just leave it like this? Take Leo’s mother and sister and go to a safe place.”

Leo’s eyes widened as if surprised by the words.

Things worked out in the end, but Leo was still accused of collaborating with the Liberation Army.

However, Ludger did not hold Leo accountable at all.

Rather, he even took care of me by telling me to stay with my family.

I should have felt grateful and relieved for that, though.

Leo couldn’t help but ask.

“Why the hell is this….”

“Do you hate being with your family?”

“…That’s not it.”

“Then, we can use this opportunity to talk about what we couldn’t finish.”

“Then why….”

“Leo. That’s what family is like.”

“…!”

Leo opened his eyes wide, and soon he shed tears like chicken droppings.

Leo immediately wiped his eyes with his sleeve and bowed his head again to Ludger.

“Thank you very much.”

“It happened. Go ahead and see.”

Eventually, when Leo became distant from his family and joined Aidan, Pasius, who had been a little farther away, approached Ludgar and asked,

“That child still has ties to the Liberation Army, can you leave it as it is?”

“Does that student appear to be terrorizing like the other Liberation Army?”

Pasius shook his head after seeing Leo rejoicing at his family.

“It’s not like that.”

“So it is.”

At that, Pasius put on a disapproving expression.

It was because I wanted to do too much for myself as a master-level knight.

“I didn’t expect him to be so full of faith in his students.”

“I didn’t trust the students.”

“Then what?”

“I trusted a man with a precious family.”

“Seeing you say that, it seems that Mr. Rudger has been through a similar situation.”

“….”

Rudger didn’t bother to answer.

Pasius didn’t even ask for an answer.

“So did you get the information you need?”

“Soon there will be a massive terror attack. You wiped out an entire branch, but there are at least 3 more similar. And they dug a tunnel under each hideout, so they are all scattered.”

“Do you know where the main target of the terrorism is?”

“A place with a lot of people. Especially, the Crystal Palace and the Grand Plaza are the main targets. A lot of wealthy people also go there.”

“Then I guess I’ll have to tell you this soon.”

Rudger nodded.

“I will contact the Knights.”

“I will warn the mentors.”

The two immediately decided on their roles and moved.

Pasius walked away with a fast pace like a knight, and Ludger also left his seat, but suddenly stopped and looked back in the direction of Leo.

The argumentative younger sister, the grumbling Leo, and even the mother watching over them with a hearty smile.

Aidan was also in the middle, talking to Leo.

Rudger smiled at the sight and moved on.

The work in the capital is not yet finished.
