Disguised As A Teacher In Magic Academy

Chapter 27 - Abraham Van Helsing (2)

"Mm, more than that.…."

Ludger interrupted Hans as he was about to mention his real name.

"Now my name is Ludger. Call me Ludger Chelysie."

"Ludger Chelysie, you say? Uh. Come to think of it, you also used that name when sending me letters. What the hell is going on? Why didn't you meet me in the capital where we were supposed to meet? "

"Long explanation. More than that...."

Ludger shook his head as he glanced at Hans.

"You still cause accidents no matter how long time has passed, huh. What was it like this time?"

"Dam. Who do you think would want to be like this?"

Hans's current appearance resembled that of a werewolf which could make anyone walking on the streets scream and run away.

However, it was because the surroundings were dark, but if people saw this appearance in bright daylight, they would feel a bit strange rather than running away.

Hans' appearance had absolutely no ferocity typical of werewolves.

To be exact, he even had a cuteness that did not match his size.

"What did you bite this time?"

"I don't know. It's some kind of brown-haired puppy. Who would have thought that he would bite me after suddenly jumping from the arms of an old woman?"

"I can tell roughly what kind of dog it is from its appearance."

Hans, who was half human and half animal, had brown fur.

However, the brown fur was not the dark and dull color of the wolves that had wandered in the wild, but rather the bright brown that was visible.

Most importantly, the shape of his face was very different from that of a wolf. He had a shorter muzzle than the wolf's long head and larger eyes.

Is correct. 

He looked like a Pomeranian dog that was famous for his cuteness as a pet.

The fluffy puppy Hans thought had bitten him was a Pomeranian.

"I've been feeling this way for a long time, but you have a very attractive body type."

"Damn. Don't make fun of other people's difficulties. I wonder if I really have been cursed."

Hans is a human who was born with a rather unusual body type.

When an animal bites it, the animal's genes are expressed into its body, and it mutates into its shape.

The legendary werewolves whose human skin was suddenly torn apart and their wildness exploded upon seeing the full moon…

That's Hans.

'However, should I say that it was flawed that he was different from an ordinary werewolf?'

"Werewolf" means simply turned into a wolf, as the name suggests, and only reacts when the full moon rises, but Hans is not like that.

Hans was intact even when he saw the full moon, but only when he was bitten by an animal did he forcibly mutate.

And he will turn into an animal that bites him.

If he was bitten by a wolf, he would become a werewolf.

If he was bitten by a tiger, then he would become a tiger man.

If he gets bitten by a bear, he'll be a bear.

Hans, who could mutate through that path, had immense strength.

The problem is that he was born in the wrong generation.

'Where are wolves, tigers, and bears in cities today where civilization and science have flourished?'

They were the ones who had to go somewhere in the deep and dangerous mountains to find the beasts.

And the prerequisite that they could only change when bitten was ridiculous.

If they were bitten by a wild predatory beast, they would die with a single bite, let alone be able to change, so why would they only change when bitten?

If they didn't want to die, it was better to give up on the idea of mutating into something more wild.

As a result, Hans could only transform himself into an animal in the city that was easy to find, whether it was a wandering street cat, a stray dog, or a pet kept by a noblewoman.

It seemed that his unusual body type might have some sort of effect, due to the matter when the animals rushed over to Hans overlapping each other.

It didn't matter if something like animal fur just touched his skin.

As soon as the animal bites it out of interest, that damned ability awakens.

There was no such thing as letting him mutate to his own will.

There was also no right way for him to control his abilities.

If Hans were to lower his vigilance even a little, he would be bitten by a small beast and forced to mutate into a half-human and half-animal form.

—Same as his appearance in front of Ludger at the time.

—Different strange powers of magic.

What Hans had was actually more of a super power.

"Take this."

Ludger took an injection of an ampoule containing green chemicals from his pocket and threw it at Hans.

Hans hurriedly grabbed the ampoule with both hands and injected it directly into his forearm with a joyful face.

Shoot it!

Then change happens soon.

The fur that grew bushy on his body thinned, and his large body size gradually diminished.

The bright and cute Pomeranian's face had also turned into a somewhat cruel-looking man.

Returning to his original state, Hans touched his body here and there and heaved a sigh of relief.

“Fieh. If it wasn't for you, I would have suffered a lot for a few more days."

"I'm thinking about it right now."

Ludger had met Hans for a long time.

At that time, Hans was chased here and there, called a monster because he could not control his own body.

Still, if he had the strength to turn into a ferocious beast, he could pretend to be a king in the back alley, but he was a person who could not fight, he said, so he just wandered from one place to another to avoid persecution.

It was a once-in-a-lifetime fortune for Hans to meet Ludger then.

"I almost died the first time I met you."

"really. I thought you were Cryptid wandering around town."

Cryptids are mysterious creatures that appear implicitly throughout the city after monsters disappear.

They are some kind of monster remnants.

Compared to monsters in the real world, they were more like supernatural phenomena.

Magical beasts, spirit beasts, and other strange beasts.

That is Cryptid.

Ludger also met with Hans because he was asked to eradicate Cryptids.

But when he first meets Hans, Ludger is quite surprised to realize that he is not the werewolf he imagined.

This was because Hans at that time was a half-human and half-animal figure who had a shape similar to the Chihuahua.

He is the so-called werechihuahua.

"I was quite surprised to find out later that you are a human with decent speaking ability."

"Is that a surprise? I'm kind of surprised at your ability to develop a cure in such a short amount of time."

"It's not a drug. It's more like neutralizer."

"Well, there it is."

Hans grunting.

"If it wasn't for this medicine you made for me in the first place, I might have been hunted as a monster somewhere in the back alley."

Ludger nodded as he did not deny such a statement.

"But this time, you said your alias was Ludger Chelyise. And a Professor at the Soeren Academy? When did you create an identity called Ludger Chelysie? Sounds a bit fucked up. How shocked I was to hear that you suddenly became professor Soren in the letter."

"It's not long to explain the situation."

Ludger explains how he became a Soeren teacher, starting with the attack******* on the magic engineering train.

When Hans heard his last sentence, he could not help but laugh.

"Luck-up. Ahahaha! You are also amazing. How can you say that you're Ludger over there?"

"I'll have to do it if I want to live."

"If it were me, I would stutter and act very suspicious. Worse, Ludger was originally a member of an unknown secret society?"

"He's also an executive named First Order."

"Hmm, first order..First order, yes."

"Do you know anything about that?"

Hans was immersed in contemplation while stroking his chin.

It was his habit when he tried to think of something.

"Well, I think I've heard of it. No, it must be in my memory. Have you heard of the recent chaos in the Empire's underworld?"

"No. Not yet."

"Well, this is pretty new, so you probably don't know. They say there are a lot of new people out there, but they're all pretty strong and crazy. Oh well, those people call each other as members or whatever and classify each one of them with what-what-Order."

"I think they must be. What's the name of the society?"

"They're called the Black Dawn Group. Some people call them the Black Dawn Society."

Black Dawn Group, or Black Dawn Society.

Ludger pondered the name.

The people involved with him were clearly abnormal, nor average.

They have stationed many of their members in Soeren, killed employees, hidden their identities, and even infiltrated.

They must be very vigilant people.

"It's very new, so I don't know the details. All I know is the name of the organization and its rank, but have you just become their First Order?"

"I'm not the First Order. This is a situation where I have to wear the original First Order mask."

"Right now, you're lucky they're going through it with that face, but if you make a mistake, won't you get caught?"

"Yes." Yeah."

And if he was caught, he would be tortured in a way that surpassed imagination.

Ludger clicked his tongue and stirred his pockets.

"So I have to get ready."

Ludger took out a pill box and tried to take the pill inside, but he realized that he had eaten all the pills a few days ago and extended his hand towards Hans.

"My suitcase."

"Ah, I brought her here."

Hans carries a black suitcase hidden in the darkness of the alley and hands it to Ludger.

Ludger made sure that the suitcase was intact.

"So you didn't open it."

"You think I'm crazy enough to open your bag? I can't open it even if I want to."

Hans was fed up and rejected Ludger's half-joking sentence.

"I knew. More than that, did you meet Sheridan?"

"That little boy? Well, of course I met him before. He was the one waiting for you in the Empire at first."

"I'm sorry about that."

"You don't have to apologize. Did you or did we know this was going to happen?"

Ludger opened his suitcase and checked all his personal belongings inside.

It was still the same as when he arranged and stuffed the luggage into the suitcase before it was shipped.

Ludger took out two pills from the medicine box and poured them into his mouth.

Hans looked at Ludger with rather pitiful eyes.

"You also suffered greatly."

"Well, you're not the only one."

"Well, I'm suffering too, but come to think of it, you and I both live with a huge dependence on drugs."

"But unlike narcotics, fortunately our drugs have no side effects."

"So what are you going to do with your future plans? Do you have the right method? Ludger is an accidental identity, so there must be a lot of boundaries for him."

"I'll have to think about it later."

Originally, he had intended to use Soren's power to control them or interfere with their plans, but that alone didn't seem enough.

Too optimistic to expect Soren alone to take care of the Black Dawn Society.

He also needs to move more actively and uproot them.

"Hm."

Ludger, who was trying to lock the suitcase again, suddenly remembered something, so he suddenly asked Hans a question.

“Hans. If you arrived here two days ago, why didn't you ask me to meet you on that day? Why are you asking me to wait two more days?"

"What do you mean?"

"Why are you asking? Rumors spread all over Leathervevelk that werewolves showed up at night two days ago. There's even someone who saw you in Soen."

"Eh? Whatchu mean? I just arrived at Leathervevelk today."

"What?"

Ludger asked back without realizing it.

It was the same with Hans.

"More than that, there's a rumor about werewolves in Leathervelk? Even before I came?

"Yes. I thought it was you."

"No, I just came here today. And you know my personality. If I had come yesterday the day after tomorrow, I would have asked you to see me immediately. What's the reason I have to stand here for two days?"

The two men were silent for a moment.

So who caused the werewolf rumors to spread?

Owooooooooooo!

At that moment, screams sounded from behind the misty darkness.

In a civilized society, they should no longer face the danger of wild beasts.

It was impossible for the two men in the present to be unable to identify the cry of such an iconic beast.

"Hi."

"Yes." Yeah."

Ludger leaned his back against the wall and kept watch, watching his surroundings.

The sound of something moving quickly with a rough breath blown by the wind echoed in his ears.

"It's really a werewolf."

"So it's not a rumor. That real?"

"Maybe."

At that moment, Ludger and Hans looked up simultaneously.

Among the factories built with bricks…

On the tall roof, they could see a black shadow swiftly flashed by.

A black-haired beast spilled a blood-red light in its eyes through the air.

The disgusting smell of beasts could be smelled at the tip of their noses.

His instincts felt that it was not fake.

"Crazy, it's real... Should we leave this place now? I don't think he can recognize us right away." Hans asked as he swept the goosebumps that appeared above his skin with his hands.

"It's just a matter of time."

The werewolf moved quickly.

But it didn't go far. Currently wandering around the factory in the industrial area.

They are currently looking for prey.

'It looks like there's something on that werewolf's neck.'

When the werewolf showed its appearance in an instant…

Ludger's eyes had pierced through the thick fog and were clearly observing the werewolf.

What caught his attention was something akin to an identifying mark hanging around his neck.

'Does it belong to someone he eats? No. gabe. It's more like a rope.'

Maybe he's wrong.

It was a very instant moment so he might have misunderstood.

But the fact that werewolves appeared in Leathervevelk and his rumors also spread in Soeren caused him to be disturbed.

"Hans, I think I should check it out."

"Check, you say? Don't tell me you're gonna catch that werewolf?"

"There's something fishy about that werewolf. Maybe someone made it artificially and let it go outside."

"What's? Who the hell..."

"I have to check it now."

Ludger said so and took his things one by one from his suitcase.

He wrapped a leather belt around his waist. The multifunctional belt was full of empty sheaths.

Ludger stuffed all sorts of items into the empty slots on the belt one by one.

—Guns throwing, melee combat weapons, medicine bottles with chemicals.

—Last, two black revolvers.

Cocktail.

Ludger inspected the firearm quickly and attached it to his back.

Clik.

Ludger even finished wearing gloves with mechanical devices on both arms.

Seeing Ludger wearing his equipment one by one, Hans recalled the first time he had met him in the past.

"It's been a long time since I've seen you use it."

Despite the addition of all types of fixtures, Ludger's appearance has not changed.

Thus, the tool he used was a very secret and seemingly unobtrusive object.

"Was that when you were a Cryptid hunter? Didn't you also use a pseudonym?"

"You're right."

"What was your name then? You've used so many aliases. I don't remember it that much. Va... What van?"

“Van Helsing.”

With all the equipment attached, Ludger got up from his seat while closing his suitcase.

His face was covered by his hat.

“Abraham Van Helsing.”

It was the name Ludger once used when he was a hunter.
