ACADEMYS UNDERCOVER PROFESSOR
I gave Sedina Rochen two days.
Until then, I told her that she could slowly submit the application form to be a Professors Assistant.
But to overshadow my words, Sedina neatly finished the application form an hourter and came back to me.
She was gasping for breath from running so quickly.
I epted it with a nk face because I didnt expect her to want to be my assistant that much, and Sedina was appointed as my assistant through a formal process.
And the next day in my ss
I handed Sedina the ss material and told her to go first and put it on the podium, and then she went slowly on her way to the ssroom.
First of all, I need to show my students who my assistant is.
Sedina was very thorough and smart with others, even if she looked weak and delicate.
Rather, she often showed her vignce against others, and I guessed it might be rted to the reason why she entered the ck Dawn Society.
She was only acting weird in front of me, as she had mistaken me for the First Order.
I didnt know if I should like that part or not, but it made it easy for me to order her around.
I guess I should go in now.
Sraaak.
When I opened the door of the ssroom and entered, Sedina, who was standing on the podium, saw me and hurriedly bowed to me.
Good job.
Yes, yes.
With only one word spoken by me, Sedinas body shuddered with emotion, and she left the ssroom.
I naturally climbed onto the tform and nced at the students.
Their reaction is somewhat strange, huh?
Flora Lumoss gaze in particr was most noticeable amongst the students.
She clenched her teeth and stared at me with a sharp gaze to avoid showing her feelings, but for a moment, I thought I had be a sinner.
I ignored her gaze and looked at the other students reactions.
Maybe because its been a while since the school started, but some students gazes are starting to change.
Some students had spied on each other and hid themselves at the beginning of the semester.
Was it the end of their investigation?
The spirit of some students had changed considerablypared to the beginning of the ss.
The reason for that was probably Aidan.
Oh, huh?
Aidans body shuddered as he felt my gaze.
The open duel between Aidan and Jevan Felio had been enough to stir up the calm atmosphere in Sren.
There was also a werewolf case before, but the tant confrontation betweenmoners and aristocratic students must have been the decisive factor.
It was not necessarily Aidans fault.
That was bound to happen one day, and Aidan just happened to take the lead in making it happen.
It was not a lucky urrence for him in some ways.
Whatever one would call it, it was true that there was a new wind blowing in Sren.
It was about time for the students affected by the wind to start showing their true colors.
If there was a problem, no one knew whether the wind would flow in a good direction or not.
Thats probably why the ssroom is so noisy right now.
Whether they were surprised or amazed by the fact that the professor had picked an assistant, they were ring at me.
Looking at their various reactions, I thought that they were students after all.
Quiet.
The students who were talking among themselves became silent at my word.
In the end, all the fuss was a matter between the students.
It meant that I didnt have to care about it.
Lets start the lesson.
A professor should just do good in their ss.
***
Thats all. What you learned today will be in the next exam, so be sure to review it when you get back.
After a two-hour ss ended
Having given a simple assignment to the students, I organized the teaching materials and was about to leave the ssroom.
Professor Ludger, I have a question.
At that time, one of the students raised her hand and spoke up.
It was a principle that a professor shouldnt refuse personal questions, even after ss, but it was the first time that someone asked me questions like that.
Why?
Until then, everyone had just looked at me and couldnt even think about approaching me.
What are you curious about?
First of all, since there was nothing I couldnt answer, I asked the student who raised her hand.
The first thing I saw was white hair that resembled the snow.
It was the same color as the perpetual snow that I saw in the Northern Arette Mountains before I reached the Exileon Empire.
The moment I saw the distinctive hair color, I remembered her name.
Julia Plumheart.
Oh, my. So you remember my name.
Because you are a student who attends my ss.
Julia Plumheart
A woman with white hair, pale skin, and a strange atmosphere that made people feel like they would freeze just by getting closer to her.
But she had a captivating yet subtle smile all the time.
To put it bluntly, it was a somewhat dark smile.
However, If I had to pick the most memorable reason for why I remembered her, it was because she was the top first-year student who had been first ranked in Srens entrance exam.
Not only that, but she was an unrivaled rookie that the magic tower supported and had expectations for.
Before this, she was just taking my sses calmly, this is surprising.
I was just trying not to make it obvious, but I couldnt believe she had a question.
So, what are you curious about?
If it was a question from a rookie whom the tower supported, was it something rted to magic?
I stood still and waited for Julias question.
How did you pick your assistant?
I was wondering what she was curious about, so it was rted to the Professors Assistant?
There was no reason why I couldnt answer that.
I looked and picked her by myself.
Do you have any qualifications, then? For example, they have to be skillful enough at magic for them to be suitable for bing your assistant.
All the students stared at me curiously after hearing her words.
* * *
* * *
Julias question seemed to be just out of pure curiosity, but it wasnt.
Her intention was to pierce through Ludger.
He had suddenly picked an assistant, but was he sure that she had the suitable ability?
Her question was implicitly interrogating him.
Or, well, do they have to be from a famous ce where people can tell who they are just by hearing their name?
When Ludger didnt answer her, Julia asked a more explicit question.
That was the intention of the question, after all.
Did he gain something from his assistant?
Her subtle attack might be offensive to some people, but Ludger just stared at Julia with calm eyes.
Soon, when everyones attention was focused on him, his mouth opened.
When I pick someone as my assistant, there is only one thing that I see in them.
Whats that?
Personality.
Julia was at a loss for words at his very confident answer.
I dont see ss, status, or honor when I see or pick someoneI only see their personality. I chose my current assistant because she has a suitable personality.
Then you dont consider anything else at all when you pick your assistant?
Yes. I wee anyone as long as they have a suitable personality. Well have a basic inquiry session.
Ludger said so and gave Julia a warning.
However, you dont seem to be suitable for bing my assistant.
Julias face, which had been smiling, changed as she had been criticized.
What he said indirectly meant that she had a bad personality.
Ludger looked around at the other students without looking at Julias reaction.
Is there anyone else who wants to ask me a question?
Ah, here!
Ludgers eyes turned to where the sound came from.
It was Aidan, Leo, and Tessie. It seemed that Leo was the one who spoke, but it was Aidan who looked confused.
What are you curious about, Aidan?
Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks
Oh, pardon?
Werent you curious about something and wanted to ask me a question?
Aidan hesitated to answer Ludgers question.
It was obviously Leo who had raised his hand, but suddenly, the attention passed to him.
Leo pped Aidan on the shoulder next to him, saying, Cheer up with the movement of his mouth.
But instead of ming Leo, Aidan thought that it was a chance to ask Ludger a question.
But the question that came out of his mouth was of a way different topic.
Have you heard the rumor about a stone that listens to peoples wishes?
Aidan said it himself and he wondered what a silly question it was.
He was so confused that his brain went nk, so he just said anything without thinking.
He had originally been intending to ask about his teacher, though.
Tessie and Leo, who were cheering Aidan from next to him, also stared at Aidan with expressions like, What are you doing all of a sudden?
I heard it.
!
The students showed disbelief on their faces as if saying, He answered this kind of question?
That
I heard it, but I want to say that its a false rumor. Dont tell me that youre a student in my ss, yet you really believe in such false rumors?
No one could answer the question.
Because everyone knew that he didnt really ask the question out of curiosity.
When you have time to care about such rumors, use it to sharpen your magic, if even a little bit. You know that the first evaluation day ising soon, right?
Ludgers voice, which turned even heavier, weighed down the entire ssroom.
The first evaluation exam
The examination hall where all the Srens students of every year faced the new semester.
Those who dont produce the right results then will be considered to be distracted by rumors and not faithful to their studies. Ill know once I see the results.
Some students gulped down at Ludgersst words.
Does anyone else have any questions?
If theres none, Ill be going.
Ludger left the ssroom at the end of his sentence.
Sedina, who was waiting for Ludger with her back against the wall next to the door, weed him hastily when she saw hime out.
Ah. That you did good work for your ss, pr-professor.
Have you been waiting here?
Yes. Somehow.
Next time, just waitfortably in the assistant room. Dont uselessly waste your time here.
Ah, yes!
Even after Sedina answered so, she nervously fiddled with her hand, as she seemingly had something left to say to Ludger.
Do you have anything else to say?
Oh. Th-that.
Ludger saw the reaction of Sedina Rochen and recalled Julia, who had asked him questions.
Is it something rted to Julia Plumheart?
N-no, thats!
Looking at your reaction, it seems that Im right. Dont worry. I dont want to pry into your personal matters.
Yes.
Sedina nodded with relief at Ludgers reply.
Take this.
P-pardon?! Aah?
When Ludger handed over the pile of assignments he was holding, Sedina hastily reached out and epted it.
It was so sudden that she stumbled, but she managed to bnce herself.
Sort them out until I get off work for today.
Yes, yes.
Just answer once.
Yes!
Alright.
At that moment, the back door of the ssroom opened, and a girl with long, blue hair approached Ludger.
Flora Lumos.
Along with her appearance, Sedina stepped back while holding the pile of homework.
Flora Lumos, do you have any business with me?
That I heard that Professor is picking assistants
As you can see, for now, I picked one person, but why are you asking me that question?
That
Flora Lumos wanted to ask Ludger about why he hadnt told her when he was picking an assistant.
Then, she btedly realized what she was thinking.
Oh, my God. He would ask me why I didnt offer myself to be his assistant. Wouldnt it look like I was jealous?
Flora thought that it was not her usual behavior.
Looking at Flora, who kept grumbling inwardly and clenching her fists then opening them, Ludger spoke apathetically.
Or do you have any intentions of applying as my assistant?
N-no?! Why would I?!
Flora unknowingly raised her voice and shouted.
Btedly recognizing her indecency, she covered her mouth with her hands.
Her white, jade cheeks flushed red.
Is that so? If you dont want it, then never mind.
N-no, well
But the chance is always there. It doesnt matter if you apply after you change your mind. If its you, then maybe its possible.
Ludger turned his back after speaking those words.
Flora, who was left alone, stared nkly at Ludgers back as he went further beyond the corridor.
It was possible if it was me, he said.
What on earth did he mean by that?
Flora clenched her fist tightly and chewed her lips.
Its annoying.
Either it was her caring about something trivial, or it was Ludger, whom she had been focused on since the first ss.
Flora was at a loss because she had no idea how it had happened.
Hmph.
Even so, she didnt reveal it outwardly.
Because she always had to be haughty in Sren.
***
Returning to his private professors room, Ludger could not rest and had no choice but to get back out of his seat.
[Professor Ludger? Would you minding to my room for a moment?]
It was because the principal herself had called Ludger in person.
Why the hell?
Ludger had no time to ask about it.
Because the crystal ball turned off as soon as it was done with its business.
Eventually, Ludger was forced to walk to the principals office.
He got on the elevator to the principals office in the main building.
Thus, Ludger reached the door across the corridor and knocked on it with his fingertips in a modest way.
Knock knock.
Its Ludger Chelysie.
Please,e in.
The door opened along with the principals voice.
There was only the principal inside. Ludger naturally sat in an empty seat opposite of the principal.
Why did you summon me?
Professor Ludger, have you heard the rumor?
It was not an answer but a question in reply to his question.
What did the rumor mean?
The rumor about the omnipotent stone that makes peoples wishese true?
Omnipotent stone, you said?
Ludger nodded his head.
I heard a bit of it. It seems that its very popr among the students.
I see.
However, I didnt care much because I thought it was just a false rumor.
Ah. So Professor Ludger thinks that its a false rumor?
The principal shook her head with a mysterious smile.

Then she spat out a bombshell.
In fact, an omnipotent stone that makes peoples wishese true really does exist.
