Academy’s Undercover Professor Chapter 594

Episode 594: A person who is difficult to meet (1)

Gariel moved in frozen time.

As we entered the magic tower, we saw wizards inside who had not yet grasped the situation.

They stopped at the sudden shock and loud noise with expressions of ‘What’s going on?’

Gariel moved carefully without colliding with those wizards.

In this frozen time, he had no need to be impatient at all.

If Ludger had proceeded as planned, what we had to do was simple.

‘Even so, going all the way up the stairs is hard work.’

Because time stopped, the elevator did not move.

No matter how slowly you walk, climbing the high stairs of the Magic Tower requires a lot of stamina.

Even though I tried to catch my breath, I couldn’t help but gradually become short of breath.

“Whew. Phew. “If I had known this would happen, I would have exercised.”

Even if I said this, I was determined not to do it even if I had time to spare.

Gariel finally arrived at the destination stairs and looked inside.

Because I had the map memorized in my head, I knew where the warehouse was.

“Here it is.”

It was easy to find even if you didn’t know the map.

Because a huge tunnel has formed throughout the entire floor.

I never thought that I would be able to break through the defense system of the New Magic Tower.

Everything was blown away in the path of Ludger’s magic.

It was a disaster because no one lives here, otherwise there would have been a lot of casualties.

Even though it was an act of breaking up a magic tower, it was quite unpleasant to cause the death of innocent people working here.

Ludger seemed to be aware of that as well and only aimed for the right pinpoints.

“You really drilled it properly.”

The place where Ludger’s magic passed was neatly cut, as if it had been gouged by something, creating a path.

And where the road passed, there was also a place to store important materials and objects of the Magic Tower.

Gariel headed inside the warehouse.

This place, filled with all kinds of items from the New Magic Tower, even stored magic artifacts to be released by the New Magic Tower in the future.

As we went inside, a feast of all kinds of different items unfolded.

The moment Gariel saw it, she swallowed her saliva.

‘How much is all this?’

It was enough to make a lot of money by picking up and selling anything you could get your hands on right away.

If you don’t have self-control, you might roll your eyes and end up taking everything with you.

Gariel shook her head and remembered her duty.

‘Calm down, Gariel. ‘Right now, the ingredients for the medicine to heal Rine are more important than money.’

It’s more of a curse reagent than a medicine, but what does that matter?

Gariel recalled the information she had received in advance and began to search the warehouse to find items.

“Take this. Take this too.”

Remains of a beast with a long history of medicinal herbs that are hard to find. Remnants created by the ice elemental spirit from the Perennial Snow Mountain.

“But maybe a little bit of something else would be good too.”

Gariel also wrapped herself with artifacts that could be easily carried.

The moment an item was taken carelessly, the theft alarm would go off, but that was only possible under the assumption that time would pass.

No matter how many objects were lifted and moved in the frozen time, the alarm could not be set off.

Gariel packed all her belongings.

Although it was quite heavy, it was not so much that it was impossible to carry it by one’s own strength.

He whined and went down the stairs, exited the New Magic Tower, and reached a deserted alley.

Since we’re far away from the Magic Tower, those eyes won’t reach here.

“Time stops. clear.”

Tick. Tick.

The second hand of the clock hovering above Gariel’s head began to make a sound and move.

Time stopped and passed again.

Kwaaaaang!

As an explosion exploded in the distance, people passing nearby turned their heads to stare at the new magic tower, wondering what was going on.

Soon, a loud alarm sounded from the New Magic Tower, and people panicked.

‘That guy. Will you be able to get out safely?’

Gariel suddenly started to worry about Ludger.

Ludger took on the most dangerous role in this operation. Since this was done against the Magic Tower, it was clear that even 10 lives would not be enough.

“no. What am I doing worrying about a guy like that? “I’ll figure it out and come back alive.”

Gariel decided to carry out his mission properly first.

The first priority is to pack up the items and return to the secret hideout.

Susssseu.

Gariel, who was preoccupied with Liné’s treatment, did not notice the young sign of evil approaching secretly.

Just before the enemy’s surprise attack reached Gariel’s body, the artifact stolen from the God’s Magic Tower that Gariel wore glowed.

Suddenly!

“Huh?!”

Gariel opened her eyes wide as she felt a burning pain in her left arm.

The one who carried out the surprise attack was Nikolai’s special experiment, wearing a black coat and a fedora.

‘How on earth?!’

How did you figure out your location? Or rather, how long has it been since we caught up like this?

‘no. Come to think of it, that guy was like that. The other party has taken control of most of this city’s surveillance system.’

Even so, I tried to move to a place with no surveillance devices as much as possible, but I still got caught?

‘They were targeting me from the beginning and had troops stationed nearby.’

Nikolai stared at the bracelet he wore on his left arm.

‘If I hadn’t brought this from the New Magic Tower.’

It would not have ended with just a stab wound to the arm, but the neck would have been blown off.

Although Gariel felt grateful for this situation, she had no choice but to focus on the enemy in front of her.

Ludger was not the only one Nikolai was targeting.

Nikolai targeted Cravat and also targeted Gariel, who was accompanying him.

‘Are you planning on killing everyone associated with him? In that case, Line is also in danger!’

I had to get back to Lynne right away and move her to a safe place.

Meanwhile, the test object that failed to attack took its stance and rushed towards Gariel again.

Just before the sharp steel sword held in both hands cut off Gariel’s head like scissors.

His new brother disappeared like a mirage from his seat.

“…!”

The test subject suddenly braked.

His body glided for a long time, and his rolling eyes followed Gariel’s traces.

However, Gariel, who stopped time, had already run away from the spot.

“Huh. “Huh.”

Gariel gasped.

As I tried to evacuate in a hurry without being able to control the bleeding, my physical and mental strength was extremely drained.

Gariel took out the recovery potion she had prepared in advance and poured it into the wound on her arm.

After checking the quickly healing wound, Gariel used time magic again in response to the sudden sense of crisis.

Quang!

Magic was inserted vertically into the spot where Gariel disappeared.

“this. “You really are a rat.”

The War Mage who had used the surprise spell clicked his tongue.

Following orders from above, he waited nearby, confirmed the enemy’s impressions that he had heard about in advance, and immediately attacked.

There is only one command from above.

The order was to kill that opponent unconditionally.

So I fired a magic spell and the guy disappeared like an illusion.

‘What on earth?’

As the War Mage was so puzzled, a signal from a friend came from afar.

[Suspect found in area B-12. It’s the young man with messy hair. He’s carrying his things neatly.]

“What? “He was here a little while ago?”

You moved from A-54 to B-12 in such a short period of time? What do you mean, even jump over space?

Immediately after, new news came.

[for a moment. He disappeared.]

[Oh. This is area C-42. I found the messy-haired suspect I just mentioned. Now wait! It disappeared again!]

“What?”

What on earth is going on?

Disappearing suddenly and appearing suddenly. Since it happened almost simultaneously, the war mages were confused.

“Everyone, come to your senses! It seems like he can jump through space. Think of it as magic and move! “With magic of this level, the consumption of magical power must be extreme or there must be some limitation!”

The war mages regained their composure and moved in order.

It was a reaction that even the chased Gariel could clearly feel.

‘Holy shit. It’s been a long time since I felt chased like this.’

Gariel couldn’t help but frown at the burning pain she felt in her arm.

Although I quickly used a recovery potion, the internal wound was not completely healed.

No, it wasn’t that kind of wound in the first place.

‘My arm is numb, just a little bit. Damn it. Did you put poison on the weapon?’

When I heard that my breathing was becoming difficult for some reason, I never thought I would have prepared for something like this.

It seemed like Nikolai had a very persistent personality, even using poison in case his attack missed.

‘damn. My arms are going numb because of the poison, and I’m losing my ability to concentrate.’

Time magic does not consume a lot of magic power if you keep it for a long time.

Once you expend mana to unfold it, that’s it.

Unless you make time flow again, it is possible to move in a world that has stopped.

In some ways, it was magic with incredible cost-effectiveness.

Instead, it just continues to exhaust its lifespan.

However, even this type of time magic is easily broken if the user’s physical condition is poor.

In order to maintain time magic, homeostasis of the body and condition is required.

So Gariel always tried to stay calm while time stopped.

But it was different now that I had been poisoned.

After walking for a bit, the magic wore off.

Gariel felt the passage of time and gritted her teeth.

“This way!”

These persistent pursuers knew his location right away and were following him.

It seemed like the siege had been spread wide, and it seemed difficult to escape unless you went down to the third floor.

‘I was too complacent. If only I could somehow get down to the 4th or 3rd floor.’

The moment I thought that, I felt a wave of magical energy from afar.

Gariel gritted her teeth and used time magic again.

However, perhaps because of the poison, the magic did not manifest in time.

Time stopped just before the flying magic barely touched my body.

Even if it had been just a little bit later, it would have been hit.

But it wasn’t completely unharmed.

Because some of the materials of the God Magic Tower he stole were swept away by magic.

‘damn. damn!’

Gariel didn’t have time to check how much damage there was.

The top priority was to get out of here before the spell was broken again.

How much did it move?

Gariel, who was walking slowly, fell from her seat.

Perhaps because the poison was gradually spreading, my legs stopped responding.

Time stopped and the things he had packed spilled out onto the floor.

“Oh shit.”

Gariel looked around with blurry eyes.

I don’t know what this place is, but there were all kinds of steel miscellaneous items lined up in the large vacant lot.

And through the gaps between the miscellaneous and miscellaneous, the pursuers began to appear one by one.

“under. Look at this rat. “Have you been sleeping here?”

“It’s really amazing. “What kind of magic did you learn to come all the way here?”

“If we had been a little late, we would have escaped the siege. “It’s a shame.”

Gariel bit her lip when she heard those words.

The feeling of helplessness washed over me like an ebb at the thought that I could have escaped if I had held on just a little longer.

“What should we do with this guy?”

“I have to kill him.”

“Isn’t it a waste? “I don’t know what kind of magic it is, but let’s take care of it.”

“That’s good too. “How could anything possibly withstand torture?”

“If that doesn’t work, why not dissect the brain yourself?”

War mages who mutter terrible things without any hesitation.

It was at that time that Gariel’s complexion darkened.

“Who is making noise here?”

Cooung. Cooung.

A harsh shout was heard from one side of the clearing, followed by the sound of pounding footsteps.

The War Mages were embarrassed and looked back to where the sound came from.

There was a huge pile of steel moving there.

“What is that?”

I thought the pile of steel was moving, but that wasn’t the case.

To be exact, there was someone holding it with both hands and moving it.

“What the…”

A large, shirtless man was lifting miscellaneous items that were ten times his size with both hands.

His sweaty upper body was writhing with vicious muscles.

What’s even more absurd is that while the man was walking, he was repeatedly raising and lowering the miscellaneous items he was holding with both hands.

“Huh. Huh. Okay, 5 sets finished! Ounwan!”

Wow.

The man slapped the object in his hand on the floor as if he was satisfied.

The debris hit the floor of the vacant lot, causing a small earthquake.

‘What on earth is that? ‘You heard it alone?’

‘But what is Ounwan?’

‘Isn’t today’s exercise complete or something?’

As the war mages exchanged glances among themselves, the bandit-like man rolled his eyes and spoke.

“What are you guys doing, running amok in someone else’s training camp? “Don’t you know that I hate being interrupted when I’m exercising?”

The war mages were furious and glared at him.

He seems like a pretty strong knight, but even so, he’s still bare-chested and without a weapon.

How dare you be so arrogant and say such nonsense to the wizards of the New Magic Tower in Isla Machina?

Who is the man who read the war mages’ disturbing gaze and hostility? He burst out laughing.

“Not only is it not enough to interfere with exercise, but even hostile action? “It was very unpleasant to see so many people bullying one person, but it turned out better.”

The man said that and clenched his fists.

A bluish magical energy began to form clearly on his fist.

No, wait a minute. Mana in your fist?

The war mages realized that something strange was going on.

Among them, a war mage who was watching the man closely opened her eyes the size of a flower lantern and shouted.

“Why are you all here!”

The War Mage, feeling a sense of crisis, hurriedly tried to express an apology, but the large man spoke first.

“Uh, it’s late.”
