Academy’s Undercover Professor Chapter 638

Episode 638: Unforgotten Grudge (3)

Flora was astonished at the sight that unfolded before her eyes.

It was surprising that Ludger suddenly appeared, but unlike before, the magic he showed was so excellent that it could almost be said to be close to the level of a god.

‘What the hell is this…’

I could tell that Flora had a more sensuous understanding of magic than anyone else.

Ludger is now in a state where he has escaped something human…

A sweet scent that fills the surroundings…

And a feast of all kinds of brilliant colors that disturb the sight…

What it brought was the death of the priests of the cult, but Flora was distracted by the magic shown by Ludger.

The stimulation was so excessive that my senses of sight and smell were paralyzed, and my head was unable to accept reality.

However, this pleasure was short-lived, lasting only a few seconds.

Flora, who regained her senses, was surprised to see that the church’s pursuers had turned into cold corpses in just a few seconds.

There were no injuries on their bodies…

I didn’t understand what happened…

Magical power surged like a storm, and only the surrounding enemies died like ghosts.

“Teacher… what the hell…”

“Don’t worry about Cheryl Wagner, she’s okay, she’s recovered from her wounds, so there won’t be any aftereffects.”

“Thank you for that, but are you back? “Where on earth have you been?!”

“There is not enough time to explain…”

“Oh that’s right! Lumos! People in my family are moving strangely! As if trying to rebel against the empire…”

“But that’s why I came to see you.”

Flora opened her eyes wide.

“Me?”

“Okay, now the time has come.”

“What time are you talking about?”

“It’s time for you to come to terms with your family…”

“····”

Flora trembled at those words…

Although her mind did not understand what Ludger was suddenly saying, she felt it in her heart.

“How do I do that…”

“I know it’s a burden for you, but it’s not something you can just ignore forever and run away from. Now is the time to make a decision.”

“But the distance to my family is far, there is not enough time, and realistic limitations are too great.”

“Not now…”

As soon as Ludger finished speaking, Flora felt her vision change.

From Seorn’s deserted outdoor lot to the inside of a mansion…

Flora felt that the mansion looked familiar…

‘This is the place where my father gathers every time he gathers the family members.’

I thought it was a dream, but it wasn’t a dream…

Flora came to Lumos’s home from Seorn in that short period of time…

Moreover, her father, Kayden Lumos, was even staring at her in this place…

It was when Ludger placed his hand on her shoulder that Flora regained her senses.

The warmth she felt from her shoulder made Flora realize that this was reality.

I realized that I was at a crossroads in my life.

“Flora·”

Kayden called Flora’s name.

His voice was indifferent, as if he was calling someone else’s child, without any fatherly affection.

On the contrary, there was even a bit of irritation.

“Are you daring to rebel against Lumos?”

“I am····”

No, it’s not like that…

Flora, who was about to make such an excuse out of fear, kept her mouth shut.

I don’t know why… Flora looked back at Ludger without realizing it, and seeing him nodding towards her gave her an unknown courage…

“···I’m also Lumos… So I’m qualified enough…”

“As an illegitimate child, you have no qualifications…”

“Even if it’s only half, I have my father’s blood… That’s why I’m also Lumos… Flora Lumos… That’s what people call me in the world…”

“you····”

Kayden’s eyebrows wrinkled at the sight of Flora’s unusual appearance.

“I know… that your father is trying to rebel against the empire… and that he is plotting something by joining hands with the Holy Kingdom of Bretus…”

“What do you mean by that?”

“Quit everything, report this to yourselves, and be judged fairly. That’s the best suggestion I can give to your father.”

At those words, Kayden’s lips twisted crookedly.

“How dare you suggest that to me now? “The illegitimate child of the family to the head of the family?”

“It doesn’t matter that the child is illegitimate. What matters is that the head of the family is trying to make a choice that puts the entire family in danger.”

“As expected, what the Cardinal said was right… You were used by the devil…”

“You don’t want to believe that, do you?”

Flora glared sharply at Kayden and shot him a shot.

“My father, who is a faithful believer, did not want to leave behind the stains of his past, so he treated me poorly… because every time he looked at me, he was reminded of the mistakes of his perfect life, and that was painful…”

“···what?”

“What will the people of the world think? They believe in the Lumensis Church so faithfully, but in the end they say it is no different from other nobles. They react sensitively to that too, so they pretended to take care of me and left me alone.”

Flora knows…

That Kayden Lumos doesn’t truly love him…

Nevertheless, she had no choice but to long for affection.

His mother passed away, and the only bloodline he had left was his father, Kayden…

Foolishly…

I realized it and threw it away.

Just because you’re related by blood doesn’t mean you can become a real family…

And that he had been ignoring this reality and was just running away…

“You said Lumos never forgets grudges, right? So, I will return it exactly as it was said… I have not forgotten… the harsh and difficult indifference and cold treatment I received from my father, and the humiliation I experienced from my brothers and sisters in name only…”

“····”

“Just because you don’t forget doesn’t mean it’s lumos.”

Flora’s voice, which was trembling at first, gradually became calmer.

It was a strange thing. I thought that if I said it out loud like this, I would become more intense and emotional, but my mind became strangely clear.

As if he had finally realized his true self…

ah·

This is it…

This is the real me…

“Matriarch… No, Duke Kayden Lumos, a traitor to the Empire… This is the last mercy I can offer… Surrender and pay for your choices…”

“You seem to have forgotten where this is and who I am. This is Lumos. And I am Kayden Lumos. I am the matriarch of this place.”

Kayden glared at Flora with a subtle expression of anger.

“I am Lumos…”

“No, you are not Lumos, you are just a cowardly and timid man who has fallen in love with religion.”

“Ha, just because you say that doesn’t change anything? Do you think the family will even listen to what you have to say?”

“Right now, yes, but shouldn’t I just make it that way?”

Flora looked back at Ludger, spitting out bitter words towards Kayden.

“Yes? teacher·”

“okay·”

Ludger nodded and Flora smiled brightly.

The fact that someone was by her side couldn’t have been more reassuring to her.

“Don’t arbitrarily judge your family name because of an outsider!”

Kayden shouted loudly.

The fact that he screamed, which was unusual for him who was always calm, meant that his emotions became that much stronger…

“Yes… If you join hands with Princess Eileen and put pressure on Lumos, you will be able to change the position of the head of the family. Lumos’s power will decrease compared to before, but you will be able to leave behind a skeleton and take control of it for yourself. It wouldn’t be a problem to change it to Lumos.”

Kayden realized what Flora and Ludger were after…

Since they were preparing for treason, the Lumos Duke family could not feel wronged even if they became traitors and were punished.

Because the cause clearly lies with the imperial family…

The shrewd 1st Princess Eileen must have also fully calculated this situation.

“But if the imperial family falls before that, the story will be different…”

“That won’t happen…”

Ludger said with confidence…

“Because I won’t make it like that…”

“you? Now, I, and my entire family, are being looked after by Lord Lumensis…

Kayden released the sacred power that was fluctuating within his body to the outside.

The sacred power was so pure and powerful that it seemed no different from magic.

Ludger realized the divine power the moment he saw it…

“Yes, the curse placed on Linne was your own doing, Lumensis.”

Even if you don’t want to know where that divine power originated, you will know…

The third sealing technique is lifted and the heavenly gate is opened.

In Ludger’s mind in that state, along with the voices of the gods, knowledge and information crossing the past, present and future were rising and falling like bubbles…

In it, Ludger realized what had happened…

“I never would have thought that someone who had the potential to escape the cage would be branded…”

Spatial attribute magic power·

The possibilities it had were endless…

Lumensis wanted birds to live in cages.

Not wanting them to escape his control, he oppressed them…

But human potential has always exceeded expectations.

Among humans, there were people born with magical powers that stood out especially…

The magic of time was like that, and the magic of space attribute was like that…

Lumensis was wary of the latter·

No matter how fast time passes in a cage, no matter how much time stops, in the end it still happens inside the cage.

Spatial attribute magic is different…

Magical power that has the potential to go beyond the world…

Because Lumensis was the most wary, it left the curse called blessing to the magical power owners for generations.

May their lives be short before they spread their wings…

“In the end, it was you…”

Kayden frowned, perhaps sensing Ludger’s subtle irritation.

“How dare you call Master Lumensis’ name in vain? You blasphemous bastard. Is the name of a god funny?”

“Is it funny? Of course it’s funny…”

Ludger sneered as if he couldn’t stand the idea of ​​Kayden saying something like that.

“How can it not be funny that the gods serve only one human?”

“this guy!”

No matter how cool-headed Kayden was, he couldn’t bear to have his faith in him insulted.

He wanted to attack Ludgar with the holy power granted by Lumensis, but…

Paaaat!

The pure white light he shot out was so easily neutralized in front of Ludger…

Kayden widened his eyes as he saw the divine power scattering like sand powder.

“You still don’t understand? “The power you have received is only at the level of a small creature.”

Ludger lightly snapped his fingers, and Kayden, who had been sitting arrogantly in his seat, fell forward and fell to his knees.

Kayden tried to resist somehow, but his face only turned red and his body did not move as intended.

“What on earth are the people of the Ga family…”

Kayden was about to speak, but he saw Ludger’s eyes and kept his mouth shut.

The entire family has already been suppressed by Ludger…

Since it possesses a transcendent power that transcends distant spaces and exists here at the same time, it would not be impossible…

Kayden’s resistance was meaningless…

“If you oust me like this, what do you think will happen to the future of Lumos?”

Kayden said, glaring at Flora.

He truly believed that it was right for him to remain as the head of the family for the sake of Lumos’ future.

Flora felt very disappointed to see Kayden like that.

In the past, I thought he was a really big person who didn’t even dare to rebel…

I never thought it would look so foolish and shabby…

Did I get bigger? Did he get smaller?

No, actually, it was always like this, but maybe he was just scared…

Flora looked down at Kayden, who was now kneeling, with a look of pity.

Kayden felt that his daughter’s gaze, which he did not acknowledge, was more painful than the eyes filled with hate and loathing.

“My honest feeling is that I want to get rid of this name, Lumos.”

“Are you going to abandon the empire’s historic family?”

“You tried to abandon the empire first, but are you still clinging to the imperial family?”

“····”

“Don’t worry, I will make the Lumos that led you with your petty attitude become greater.”

“Even if I step down, there is no justification for you to become the head of the family.”

“Why am I not there?”

Flora laughed softly at Kayden’s almost unreasonable resistance.

“The other two brothers and sisters also participated in the rebellion…”

“you···!”

Kayden’s eyes widened as he realized what Flora had said.

“Don’t worry· Your brother and sister will do well in the Lumos family· However, they will be much more humble than before· And Lumos will prosper even more than when you ruled· I can promise you that·”

Kayden couldn’t say anything and just lowered his head.

Flora looked at this with satisfaction and expressed her gratitude to Ludger.

“Thank you, it’s all thanks to you, teacher.”

“I just did what I had to do…”

“Are you going again now?”

“Okay, there’s still work left to do.”

Flora gazed beyond the screen that Kayden Lumos was viewing through the artifact.

There was a Ludger here, and there was a Ludger there too…

I couldn’t understand what was going on, but Flora said what she could…

“I hope you succeed.”

“Thank you…”

“and····”

Flora tried to say something but shook her head…

“···I’ll talk about it next time…”

Ludger nodded with a faint smile towards Flora.

His appearance disappeared like a mirage.

Flora stared beyond the artifact screen as if fascinated.

* * *

Ludger, who focused his mind on the crater again, did not hide his annoyance as he looked at the surrounding punitive forces.

“Are you saying that because of the aftermath of me opening the door, you too can use your power in this underworld?”

The punitive forces who were timid and scared of their own power just a moment ago…

He was clad in pure white divine power and was spilling his deadly energy towards us…

Whether you’re a wizard, a mercenary, a hunter, a priest, a saint, or a knight…

All·

“Yeah, it wouldn’t be fun if we came this far and it ended up being a trivial fight…”

The energies of countless gods were felt through the black hole in the sky, and they appeared one by one around Ludger.

Silver Arm·

Golden Geumgangjeo·

Sword of Fire·

A huge bong·

Shining window·

All kinds of weapons hovered around Ludger…

“Let the battle of myths begin…”
