Disguised As A Teacher In Magic Academy

CHAPTER 28 - Hunters in the City (1)

Five years earlier…

The Kingdom of Durman, one of the small countries in the southern part of the continent, was plagued by a sudden attack of Cryptids.

Wolves roamed the middle of the city, mysterious ferocious beasts ate people every night, and the nightmare of the endless scent of blood continued for over a month.

Even the officers are helpless.

Although soldiers and knights were deployed, Cryptid avoided their siege by disrupting the knights.

The situation is slow and unsolved.

Among them, there was one of the most notorious Cryptids.

It was a monster that invaded Jevaudan, one of the largest cities in the Durman Kingdom.

It was a rare monster that ate three knights that bore the title of elite warriors.

—Cryptid worst ever dominates the horrors of the kingdom and nightmares for Jevaudan.

Monster Javaudan.

King Durman thought that things would not go that way, so he had issued an official letter saying that he would give a huge reward to those who defeated the Cryptids.

After hearing the rumors, all kinds of loose magicians, wandering knights, and famous mercenaries from the continent gathered in Durman Kingdom and started a massive operation to suppress the Cryptids.

Countless cryptids had died, and a large number of humans had also died.

People called the hunt 'Bloody Night' because the blood that was spilled at that time dyed the ground red.

The Bloody Night was enough to instill fame in many people.

At that time, there was one person who managed to achieve the greatest achievement.

—One who singlehandedly defeated the most famous monsters in Jvaudan and recorded the most achievements in shooting down and slaughtering Cryptids.

He was not a famous magician, a high-ranking knight knight, or an elite special mercenary.

He's just a hunter.

The hunter was adept at handling all kinds of tools and weapons, and during the year after Bloody Night, he traveled throughout Durman, setting a record of defeating the Cryptids with a murder count of over three digits.

The name of the hunter, who was also famous as a mystic because he did not really reveal his identity…

The 'Abraham Van Helsing'.

***

With the equipment fully equipped, Ludger slowly walked to the boulevard.

The damp night mist enveloped his coat.

The opaque red light spread dimly around the street lights as if it had drained the water from the fog.

The smell of a savage beast, which gently came out among the smell of wet mud, touched the tip of his nose.

'What a memory.'

Dum!

Ludger immediately kicked the drum lying on the road.

Ka-boom boom!

As the drum collapsed, a loud sound echoed in the air. The werewolf, who was looking for prey, turned his head when he heard the voice.

His ferocious eyes found Ludger standing alone in the middle of the boulevard.

Grrr.

The werewolf leaps off the roof of the building and lands in front of Ludger.

'That's big.'

Ludger could take a closer look at the werewolf.

It was over 2.5 meters tall, had red eyes, and its body was full of black feathers.

His sharp claws pointed at both of his hands, and his energy was so sinister that Ludger could feel it in his skin.

If he was caught by that thing, even steel would be torn like paper.

But most importantly, what caught his attention was the metal rope stuck in the neck of the werewolf.

'I know that. I'm not wrong.'

It is impossible to just wander around a werewolf's neck for no reason.

There was no way a savage beast who lost its rationality would think for itself and wear it around its neck.

There is only one possibility:

'Someone deliberately raised or made that werewolf.'

He thought that it wasn't completely impossible.

It was a world where magic existed where and science had progressed in a strange direction, and Hans, whom he knew, was, it has a body type that makes it turn into a wild beast every time it is bitten by a wild beast.

Well, it's not strange that some secret organization made werewolves their experiment.

'The question is: why should it happen in a time like this?'

The incident happened not long after the start of the school semester when things went quiet without much news until then.

Also, in the year of his appointment as professor?

He could not help but be suspicious of such a glaring situation.

'Well, I'll find out once I catch and beat him.'

Ludger immediately entered his position.

The werewolf changed his face as he looked uncomfortable as the human in front of him raised his will to fight rather than flee.

Owoooo!!!

The roaring werewolf that stretched out his chest and raised his head to the sky immediately rushed towards Ludger.

The werewolf, who was galloping on the ground with all four legs, was faster than a car.

Ludger stepped back while watching his movements. The werewolf's claws passed through the air where Ludger was.

Grprr!

The werewolf waved his hand nonstop; ludger continued to take a step back and focused on avoiding the werewolf.

Thud.

As the tip of Ludger's brown shoe touched the ground, strange wavelengths spread around him.

Boom up!

Every time the werewolf attack missed, Ludger continued to tap the ground with his toes and spread the mana wavelength.

In an extreme situation where he might be torn to shreds just by brushing his claws, Ludger never let a werewolf attack him.

Ahaaah!

The angry werewolf roared and spread his hands wide. He would attack Ludger in that state and capture him so that he could not dodge his attack.

"So he used his brain."

Ludger's mouth, which was covered in the shadow of his hat, smiled.

Hiiiiiiiiying!

The werewolf, who was about to jump towards Ludger, suddenly changed his face and fell to the ground.

Bunk.

The werewolf slipped over the mud that covered the ground.

"Oh, ooh?"

Hans who was watching nervously from afar, suddenly opened his eyes wide, puzzled at the sight of the fallen werewolf.

Did he eat wrong?

"Your head will ring a lot."

Ludger gently stepped on the back of the werewolf, who was struggling in pain.

The werewolf was more like a beast than a human.

And because it's canid, it's very sensitive to high frequencies that ordinary people can't hear.

Ludger's move while dodging werewolf attacks was the initial preparation for casting such a spell.

That spell—which combines sound waves and vibration magic—may be nothing to humans, but different to werewolves, who hear sounds outside a certain frequency range.

Even so, the ultrasonic waves that rang the werewolf's ears in real-time and shook his brain continued to shake the surrounding area.

"I don't have to use expensive silver."

There was no way more suitable than that because the goal was to suppress the werewolf, not to kill him.

'Now, let's check where they made this guy.'

It was then that Ludger took out a syringe and tried to draw his blood…

Hiiiiiiing!

"Here we go! I heard a voice from here!"

"Everyone, move fast!"

With a whistle, uniformed police charged towards them from behind the fog.

The police officers who had been on patrol for two days due to rumors about werewolves would have already flocked once they heard the commotion here.

When Ludger looked away for a moment, the werewolf, who had remained silent obediently, jumped up.

Ludger hurriedly retreated and avoided the incoming accident.

Ludger was soon wary of werewolf counterattacks, but werewolves had no interest in Ludger from the start.

The werewolf shook his head a few times and immediately turned around and ran away.

'Menisic.'

'I didn't expect the werewolves to run away in this situation.'

Ludger sighed and unleashed a high-frequency spell that spread around him.

When the police officers carrying mana appeared one by one, Ludger decided to retreat slowly from his place.

"There! There's someone there!"

"Capture all suspicious people!"

Before he knew it, the werewolf climbed up the factory wall and onto the roof.

Ludger chased the werewolf.

He ran through the alley avoiding spells and whistle sounds.

Ludger, who was running through the dark passageway, spread his hands into the air as he felt the werewolf was getting further away.

Whooshing sound!

The engine spring, which hung below his challenge wrist, quickly rotated, and soon a hook mounted on the wire was fired into the roof.

Click!

As soon as the hook is mounted to the roof railing, the gears rotate and wind the wire at high speed.

—Tightening pulling force.

Ludger used the rebound to fly to the roof.

It was Ludger's favorite item when he was active as a hunter, commonly called the Wire Launcher.

Ludger landed well on the roof.

Whiiirrr!

Ludger, who pulled the wire and pulled out his hook, watched the back of the werewolf escape far away.

"I'm not going to let go."

Ludger put mana on his legs.

Witches who existed in that world had methods to strengthen their bodies with mana that had been widely spread in case of an unexpected situation.

Ludger stormed out the roof and chased the werewolf with his strong legs.

Whooosh's.

The night scene in the industrial zone quickly passed. He could see the fleeing werewolves gradually getting closer.

The werewolf looked back as he sensed a strange presence as he ran; he learned that Ludger was chasing after him, then accelerated his speed to escape.

The werewolf, who was constantly jumping over the roof of the factory, jumped onto the huge railroad tracks down there.

Just in time, a cargo train loaded with magic stones passed underneath.

The explosion!

The werewolf landed roughly on the cargo carriage.

Ludger jumped down and landed on the cargo train as well, fearing to miss the werewolves.

He minimized the shock of his landing by draining the mana loaded on his feet into the soles of his feet.

Ludger stared at the werewolf with a flick of his hand over his shoulder.

Perhaps the werewolf realized that he could no longer escape. He looked back at Ludger while raising his crooked body.

Clacky.

On top of the carriage, Ludger and the werewolf faced each other at a distance of about three cabins.

As the train drove, strong winds blew the hem of Ludger's coat.

Red street lights run along the way and are scattered as they reflect light.

"I'll only control you moderately at first."

Grrrrrr.

"But I can't do that."

Judging from the situation and the surrounding police officers who were chasing after him after hearing the commotion, he was unable to do so.

The night breeze that passed through the tip of his cheek and the steam coming out of the head of the carriage obscured his momentary gaze.

Happened!

Using that moment, the werewolf rushed towards Ludger.

It was a move sharp enough to break through his opponent's weak point using the moment when his opponent's gaze was closed.

But Ludger had already calculated a few steps ahead of the werewolf movement.

Ziii!

The werewolf, who was rushing towards Ludger, stopped running because of the strange sound that sounded in his ears—it was a kind of instinctive intuition as a beast.

His judgment is correct.

Something sharp passed quickly on either side of the werewolf's neck.

"Your intuition is good."

As they cut through the skin of a werewolf's neck, they turned around and returned to Ludger.

—They are boomerangs with sharp blades scattered like fans.

If he was a little late to stop, that sharp round saw would cut the wolf man's throat.

The werewolf quickly regenerated the wound running down his neck. He was angry that there were wounds on his body, and blood vessels appeared all over his body.

"I was just about to finish you off with that in one blow."

Ludger abandoned his regret and took out a stick hanging from his waist, and grabbed it.

It was Ludger's turn to charge.

He held a staff in his right hand and gathered mana in his left hand to create a spell called Shining Stone.

It was shot like a bullet and aimed at one werewolf eye.

Whooshing sound!

The werewolf lowered his head and avoided the Shining Stone. At that moment, Ludger flicked his left index finger.

Then, the Shining Stone that the werewolf passed through spun in the air and hit the back of the werewolf's head.

Bam!

While the werewolf was dumbfounded by the intense pain he felt behind his head, Ludger stormed the werewolf and swung his staff at the werewolf's face with all his might.

As soon as the werewolf tried to block it with his hand, the boomerang saw blade flew up and pierced the werewolf hand.

Ludger had predicted it and threw the boomerang early.

Aaaargh!

The bewildered werewolf opened his mouth wide and bit Ludger's wand because his arm could not move.

Crack down!

His powerful teeth gripped and bit his cane.

The werewolf's eyes were bent like a crescent moon.

Since he had already bitten his wand, there was nothing his opponent could do.

As soon as the wound on his arm regenerated, he would tear apart the arrogant human in front of him into pieces.

But as if he was mocking the werewolf mind like that, Ludger immediately took the next step.

Whrr.

The handle and handle of the staff were separated, and the white sword blade was pulled out.

At the unexpected sight, the werewolf could not even think of stuffing an empty stick shell into its mouth.

—Bissue stick.

Often referred to as a sword stick, it was more like a murder weapon that broke through the opponent's weak points than a weapon used directly.

And there was only one moment when he chose this in a fight that aimed to live with each other.

—It was only when he was sure that he could kill someone else.

Ludger's body spun once in place.

Whooshing sound!

White solid line drawn in air.

A very thin but clear light split the neck of the werewolf gently.
