Academy’s Undercover Professor Chapter 520

Episode 520 Declaration of War (1)

“What do you mean by that?”

When Rudger asked, Sheridan spoke in a slightly downcast tone unlike usual.

“I honestly won’t be of any help.”

“There must be a reason for thinking so.”

“My specialty doesn’t work here. No explosives, no ingredients to make anything. There will be something if you look for it, but there is not enough time to combine it and create something new.”

Seridan’s specialty is assembling and making things.

In particular, her true value is most effective in making explosives.

Sufficient support is available from the outside, so there was no problem with Sheridan making something.

But it was different here.

There was no one to ten materials needed to make something.

Since the most basic things were lacking, Seridan couldn’t do anything he wanted to do.

His outstanding courage and reckless tendency to push anything were only effective when supported by his ability.

Even in this situation, Sheridan was not stupid enough to force himself.

“hmm.”

Ludger was not unaware of Sheridan’s feelings.

“I actually had similar thoughts.”

Sedina also confessed her honest feelings.

“My magic doesn’t work properly here. It takes a long time to unfold the magic, and most of all, I can’t hear the voices of the plants I heard recently.”

How happy I was to recently become a green wizard.

I was full of hope that now I could be of help to Rudger without holding anyone back.

But the result was now.

Plant voices were not heard in the dream world.

The plants that exist in this world are just illusions created by unconsciousness and memory.

Sedina couldn’t handle plants because they weren’t real.

In the end, he had to use only paper magic, but even that was not possible due to the nature of Dream Land.

Like Sheridan, Sedina thought she was of no use here.

“I fully understand your position. It might be better not to go than to hold on to the ankles of your comrades. But I don’t agree with that at all. Isn’t that what giving up after all?”

“But Nari. this is the reality If you blindly insist on something that doesn’t work, it will actually make things worse.”

Sheridan didn’t really want to say such a thing.

As you can see from her usual behavior, Sheridan was a dwarf girl with a very high self-esteem.

It’s not just about making something.

Now that his colleagues had to fight in a dangerous situation, he was feeling a lot of frustration at the situation where he couldn’t do anything.

It was the same with Sedina.

Ludger looked at Sheridan and Sedina alternately and then nodded.

“okay. I’m sure the two of you won’t be helpful right now.”

The complexion of the two people became gloomy at that naked point.

“But I forgot, isn’t that only limited to reality?”

“…Is there a way?”

“This is Dreamland, not the real world.”

“You mean this place has its own way?”

“I heard that one of the characteristics of this Dreamland is that what you imagine becomes reality.”

Like this.

Rudgar made the staff he used to use on his hand.

A cane with a crow shape embossed on the tip of a handle with a subtle golden color on a black background.

It was different from the way Rudger usually took out his wand.

Taking it out of the shadows and suddenly creating it in empty space were two different things.

Sedina and Sheridan’s eyes widened.

Seeing the same reaction of two small people, I thought it was like a child seeing magic for the first time.

“In Dreamland, magic, spiritism, and necromancy do not work properly. This is a world completely different from the reality we know, so we have to think of it as a place ruled by separate laws.”

So in Dream Land, I had to follow the Dream Land method.

“From now on, throw away your existing common sense. You have to have the confidence that you can do anything.”

“How did Na-ri do that?”

“I just did it and it worked.”

What is it.

Sheridan stared at Ludger’s dignified expression with a puzzled look.

It was possible because Rudgar was familiar with the method used in Dream Land.

The ‘real magic’ used by Rudger was the realm of emotion, not reason.

The law of Dreamland, in which one’s inner beliefs and imaginations become reality, was in line with ‘real magic’ in this respect.

“I know it will be difficult. It is difficult to immediately implement such a nonsensical request to realize what you imagined into reality.”

“Do you have any advice or something?”

At Sedina’s question, Rudger pondered for a while before coming up with an answer.

“The most basic thing is to think of what you do best and like first.”

“favorite thing?”

To those words, Seridan reacted with her hair standing upright.

As if she had sensed something, Sheridan shifted his right hand wide and stared at the palm.

“Turn it off.”

The moment I wondered if my eyelids were shaking and my face was convulsing.

An object magically appeared on Sheridan’s palm.

“done!”

Sheridan’s face brightened.

What she created was dynamite.

No matter what anyone says, Sheridan’s greatest specialty is making explosives.

She made the most rudimentary explosives she knew and tossed them into a small puddle nearby.

“Explode!”

The dynamite that fell into the water caused an explosion with a slight delay.

The surface of the water was greatly agitated, and a small column of water gushed out.

Hans and Sedina widened their eyes in amazement at the sight, but Seridan’s expression was not good.

“The power is not enough!”

Just looking at the size of the surging water column, what Seridan created was significantly less firepower than normal dynamite.

“What is wrong?”

“It’s because it’s my first time, so I subconsciously think that it won’t work out. This is where the unconscious also influences. It will be difficult if you don’t control that part properly.”

“It turned out to be harder than I thought.”

Rudger shook his head.

“I’d rather say great. Even if you tell them how to do it, no one knows how to do it right away. It didn’t live up to expectations, but the dynamite you made exploded properly.”

“Still, I can’t help but regret it. If you keep trying, it will get better, right?”

“okay.”

The dynamite made by Seridan was only lacking in firepower, but it was rather superior in other parts.

First of all, when Seridan threw the dynamite, he didn’t light a detonator or fire.

Even so, the fact that it caused an explosion meant that all the small processes necessary in reality could be ignored.

‘Perhaps he instinctively skipped other troublesome processes because he was only interested in the explosion itself.’

If you know how to properly refine and handle that imagination, it can become a better weapon than anyone else.

‘Even if I fall into this strange world, there must be another way as long as I adapt.’

Rather, there was a high possibility that a person who could not show his abilities and talents in real life would stand out in Dreamland.

‘It remains to be seen whether it will flow in a good direction or create a bigger crisis on the contrary.’

Ludger’s gaze was still on Hans and Sedina, who were still blank.

“Get ready. Before departing, you’ll need to learn the basics of how to handle power here.”

“Tongue brother?”

“For your information, there will be no mercy in my teaching.”

“Oh no, why all of a sudden…”

Before Hans could say anything, Sedina, who had a strong discipline, shouted faster.

“yes! All right! teacher!”

Hans swallowed.

Standing in front of his face, he understood why Rudger had such a notoriety among the students.

Rudger, who teaches something, was a completely different person than usual.

“So I imagined it in my head and it worked?”

“huh.”

Leo cupped his head with his hands at Aidan’s clear answer.

“…now you say that?”

“But it’s true.”

The unbelievable power that Aidan showed was one of the concerns of everyone gathered here.

How could you show such power?

The answer to that question was quite odd.

“Imagination.”

Even though I tried to argue if that made sense, I couldn’t deny it unconditionally again when I thought of Aidan’s appearance.

“So you mean you imagined cutting up those rock crabs with your staff so you could slice them all up?”

“huh.”

“Does that make sense? No, more than that, how do you picture that in your head? Don’t you think it usually doesn’t work?”

Aidan scratched his cheek with his index finger.

“Ugh. I felt like I had to do something because something was urgent. But if I go out and get beaten, won’t you guys be worried again?”

“Is someone you know well running away blindly?”

“Ahaha. sorry. But deep down I was sure something was going to happen. Is it the sense of wildness learned from the Beasts? It happened because I was convinced that I could do it beyond what I had to do.”

As they listened to Aidan’s explanation, the other students’ expressions became vague.

It was because Aidan’s concept of imagination did not reach the magicians who were faithful to the theory.

“That kid is right.”

Surprisingly, Flora, who could be said to be the representative of this position, stood up for Aidan at that time.

“If you think something clearly in your head, magic is implemented much better than using magic formulas.”

“Flora, is that for real?”

At the same time Cheryl asked, all eyes were on Flora.

Flora said, twisting her fingers through her now black hair.

“Considering that this is a dream world, it must be said that the uniqueness of the environment was applied. Is everyone like that? In a dream, anything can be. People can fly, and children can become adults. It is the same here.”

“Then we too…”

Flora cut Tacy’s expectations like a knife.

“Wouldn’t that be?”

“Why?”

“It’s attractive to completely embody what you think in your head, but it can’t be that easy.”

“You won’t know until you try!”

Flora snorted lightly at Tacey’s retort.

“okay? Then don’t ever think of a cat in your mind.”

“yes?”

“cat. is it easy? Just try not to think of the cat.”

For a while, Teishi was perplexed by that point.

A small cat appeared around her.

It was a cat with red fur, similar to the color of Tacey’s hair.

“Uh huh? what?”

“cat? suddenly?”

A cat pops out of nowhere.

Tacey looked down in disbelief at the cat rubbing its head against her leg.

“Why why is this…”

“See? It is proof that you are not properly controlling your thoughts.”

“But it’s just a cat.”

“Is that really a cat?”

Flora lowered her voice.

Tacey flinched at the cool atmosphere.

“Can you really think it’s a cat? In fact, what if it was a terrible monster mimicking its appearance? What if the act of rubbing your hair right now is not a favor, but a ploy to catch you off guard?”

Flora’s words permeated Tay’s ears like a curse.

Tay’s brain squeezed the imagination she didn’t want.

no. don’t recall don’t try to think

Contrary to Tay’s wishes, her hair had already taken in Flora’s words.

Kyaaaagh!

The cat’s face contorted terribly at Tay’s feet.

It was only for a moment that his mouth was torn open and his sharp teeth tried to bite Tacy’s ankle.

Perong!

Flora’s magical flash blew off the monster’s head.

The monster in the form of a cat turned into smoke and dispersed.

Tacey clenched her fists in a cold sweat.

“Did you see it? When people are told not to do something, they become more obsessed with that part. How are you going to deal with the power that does not go your way?”

Flora’s gaze scanned the other students.

The faces of the students who had been excited about the appearance of the monster cat a while ago were heavy.

“So are you. The power exerted here is obviously great, but if it is misused, then it will act as a great poison. I’ll leave it to your imagination what the outcome will be.”

In fact, Dreamwalkers exploring the middle layer considered mental training essential to avoid being eaten by their unconscious.

People can’t be perfect.

No matter how energetic and positive a person may be, sometimes he could fall into depression because of poor physical condition.

And in Dreamland, these negative and gloomy thoughts act as a reality that comes right in front of you.

“I have to thoroughly control your unconsciousness and emotions, but is that really possible without training?”

“Ha, but Aidan…”

“Aidan? he is different from you Do you know?”

Aidan is naive and upright to the point of being stupid.

He is not suspicious of people and always treats things in good faith.

And that mindset even led to action without hesitation.

A righteous person who does not fit this era.

That which was unsuitable for a thoroughly rational and calculating mage turned around and gave Aidan wings here.

It is the result of innate inclination and instinct, not calculation.

It was like a phrase from the story that hard work will definitely be rewarded.

“ruler. If you know, don’t vomit and move. I don’t have time to be doing this right now.”

Flora did not want to stay still.

Even in the midst of flirting like this, the threat that exists above must be gradually coming down below.

Deep in Dreamland.

In that deep world where all time and ideas were distorted, a humming sound resounded softly.

Nirva continued humming happily, then rolled her eyes.

Eyes shining with golden airflow turned in one direction.

“It is a face I miss. It seems like we haven’t seen each other in a while. How have you been?”

Nirva smiled kindly at Zero Order, the man who appeared in front of her.

“So what’s your business here? If you’re willing to join my great cause, I’ll gladly accept it.”

“Join?”

At that, Zero Order let out a smirk.

“I’m here to declare war.”
