Disguised As A Teacher In Magic Academy

Chapter 3 - Car Attack (1)

Dust that flew like fog due to the explosion subsided.

"Uurgh."

Shaas.

I woke up shaking off the debris covering my body.

Fortunately, there were no wounds on my body. Even the broken debris could not penetrate the coat I was wearing.

"It's a good thing I'm wearing a sturdy coat just in case."

The corridors and walls of the carriages, which had previously been fine, were completely destroyed.

The cold wind blowing in the snow field blew through the crack and scratched my face like a knife.

"...I thought it was a regular robbery."

I can't believe he has detonated a bomb wrapped around his body in a situation where he was electrocuted by electrical magic.

It was something that would never be seen from a train robber.

That's worse than robbery, and they're more like******, if I may say so.

The mindset died together even though he knew he was going to die.

'Are they the rebel remnants of the Prince's faction that fled the Utah kingdom? No, they're busy hiding now. This bastard is different.'

As I swept my face with frustrated hands, I sighed, feeling my sagging skin.

No wonder the cold wind was on my face.

"But it's expensive. Too bad."

Ripp.

I took off the camouflage mask I had put on my face.

I don't need to keep using it because it's been torn as a result of the blast shock and scratches from the wreckage of the train.

Since I could no longer keep the face of a man in his 40s with wrinkles and whiskers, I threw away the camouflage mask from the carriage.

I thought the train would be a little safe, but I didn't expect an unexpected incident to happen.

'Come to think of it, where is he?'

Ludger, who said he would be a professor at the Soeren Academy, was nowhere to be seen.

Soon after, I realized something.

When the explosion occurred, he could not react and seemed to be swept away.

The wall that was destroyed was half destroyed and destroyed. There's no trace of Ludger.

When I slightly stuck my head out and looked down, I saw a steep cliff.

Deep below the cliff, there was a raging snowstorm and foggy snow clouds burying its base.

'… He must be dead.'

Anyone who thinks he is just a regular robber will be confused when the robber blows himself up with a bomb.

If he knew before, he could set up a spell, but unexpected situations always happened.

It's so sorry for him.

It was unexpected that he had died the day he was appointed as a professor at the famous Soren Academy. I pray for the serenity of Ludger's soul with a small prayer in my heart.

"It's also not the time for me to relax."

Since I knew that they were no ordinary robbers, my level of vigilance was several levels higher than before.

If they were all going to blow themselves up when their plans were muddled, no matter how powerful the Magic Technique train was protected by various sorts of spells, it would definitely suffer damage.

'That could be their true goal of seeing such extreme measures happen.'

'Let's run.'

After making that decision, I headed to the carriage in the back.

Sraak.

When the door from compartment four to compartment five opened, a conductor with a tense face appeared.

"Oh, sir, are you okay? W-what really happened..."

He was a little confused and stuttered as he saw me standing alone in the corridor and in the bulkhead that flew away.

“There were robber attacks, they were armed with dangerous explosives. I almost got hit by such an explosion” replied I calmly.

"I .. I understand."

"I think they're focused on compartment number one, so we'd better back off."

"Oh. I was actually about to evacuate the other passengers to the back."

"That's a relief."

I approached the conductor with a relieved face.

And as soon as I narrowed the distance so I could reach him by stretching out my hand, I grabbed the conductor's collar and threw it to the ground.

Bam!

"Argh! Why...why are you doing this?"

"Do you think that kind of petty acting would work out to trick me?"

“M-sorry?”

The conductor looked at me with a confused face.

If it was someone else, they would clear their doubts by looking at an apologetic expression like wanting to help others, but I didn't.

"I think there's something strange. I refuse to believe that it is very easy to break through the Magic Engineering train, which is protected by powerful defensive magic and magic stones attached to it. And just as it was speeding through the rugged Arette Mountain, robbers appeared as if they had been waiting."

"W-what..."

"This is practically impossible without the help of someone working from inside the train... Unless someone shuts down the magic that was supposed to operate."

“…”

At that moment, the conductor's face changed in an instant.

He moved his hand and tried to pull something out, but I already knew and was already preparing for it.

I thrust a sharp knife under his chin.

"Shut up."

"Ugh."

"You move fast. As expected, this was no ordinary robbery. Tell me, where are you guys from?"

“…”

"...Hmm shut up. Well, that's up to you."

I'm not too curious anyway. I lifted the man up with a knife around his neck.

If my prediction is correct, something may have happened in his original carriage, the fifth carriage.

"Street."

With a knife held by my right hand around his neck, I beat him by bending both arms back with my left hand and then kicking his leg.

Uurghs.

He gritted his teeth and refused to move, but when I twisted his arm a little more, he immediately moved.

He should have done it from the beginning.

"How many plotters do you have here?"

“…”

"So you don't want to say it? Then I'll have to make you talk."

At that moment…

Something was heard from carriage number five, where he came from.

It was a small, almost inaudible sound from the number four carriage, where a gust of cold wind blew from outside the carriage from the gaping door out.

My very alert ears caught the sound properly.

Clik…

It was something I heard so often that I instantly recognized the sound I knew metal was colliding with each other.

It was the sound of a rifle hammer being pulled.

Knowing that, I threw the conductor forward and immediately fell face down.

Ratathathathata!

Right above my head, countless barrage of bullets pierced through the door and passed through it.

───!

The conductor I just pushed down fell down as he was nested with a bullet hole without being able to react.

Debris and dust scattered. I covered my head with my hands and stared at the door.

The bullets showed no sign of stopping.

'Is that a machine gun? They have prepared themselves very well.'

Then they had no choice but to take action right then and there.

When I thought about it, they stopped shooting, thinking it was enough.

'He shot his partner mercilessly even though his partner was passing by. They didn't even let him send any signal.'

That meant the conductor, whose body was already hollow, had told them beforehand.

If they hadn't heard from him for a while, he would have already been caught, so shoot him non-stop.

'Why did this happen when I got on this train...?'

I rose from my position sighing at my poor life.

After shaking off the debris and dust in my body, I glared at the door again.

Immediately after, the door was smashed, and three burly men rushed into the corridor.

"What's? There are still living"

"We shot that many, and he didn't die?"

"Who are you to talk about dying or not as you like?" I said it in an annoyed voice while seeing them talking amongst themselves.

They exchanged glances and immediately began to approach me ferociously.

The corridor was narrow enough for just one person, so if I were to fight them, I would have to deal with one person at a time.

It was obvious that they looked much rougher and bigger than me.

I don't want to fight if I can avoid it. I refuse to clash in a useless place.

'But if I give up now, they won't accept it.'

Looking at the people who approached me with the determination to kill me, no matter what I tried to do to calm them down, they would not forgive me.

They did not have the slightest intention of letting me live.

"I want to ask you one thing…"

My unfriendly tone made them raise their eyebrows in offense, but I had no choice. It's just my nature.

"What's? Are you going to cry for your life now?"

'Imust.'

"...How dare you attack this train? Are you not afraid of death? The rescue team is coming soon, right?"

"Ha! I was wondering what it was, so it was just a lousy intimidation?"

The man in the front line snorted at my warning and unsheathed a sword that matched his size.

I had asked him seriously, but he didn't seem to think my question was worth answering.

"I'll cut you in half with one slash."

The big man slowly approached me, and I slowly retreated.

However, the partially destroyed carriage cabin had its limits, and of course, my steps had to come to a halt.

If I tried to retreat further, I would fall outside the broken train.

"Hehe. There's nowhere for you to run anymore."

"I understand."

If I jump out of the train from there, I'll end up like Ludger.

However, my front was obstructed by her large body, so I had to pass through it to advance.

"I'm busy, so I'll finish you as soon as possible!"

That was when he would jump towards me while saying such words.

I used the spell I had prepared earlier.

The explosion!

The sound of an explosion spread in the air as the man who was about to swing his sword towards me bounced backwards like a cannonball.

Bam, bam!

Those who stood dazed behind him could not react and bounce off each other before rolling on the floor.

“Uuurgh. A-what.”.

"A Witch?!"

It was quite a powerful magic power, but there were no signs of damage as they were quite powerful.

No. gabe. They were wearing something inside their clothes, to be exact. Is that like protective clothing?

'Then I have to deliver a much stronger blow ...'

I carved magic while releasing the mana I had gathered. The three-dimensional pattern that was drawn in the air immediately turned into a spell, and in an instant became a strong wind and lifted those who were about to stand up into the air.

They must be confused because it feels like there is an invisible giant hand gripping them.

"Oh, ooh?"

"Take off..let go of this! Lower me!"

"I'll put you down, just like you asked."

I use the wind to move them.

Outside the wide open train.

"Save me, please! I beg!"

They screamed in despair, but I did not say yes or that I would forgive them. They were bastards who attacked the carriage with the intention of killing everyone. They will stab me in the back if I show them mercy.

As I threw them out of the carriage, their cries echoed and slowly faded into the distance.

"Ck."

After getting rid of the assailant, I took out a hair tie from my pocket while styling my already messy hair.

Since I did not pay much attention to beauty treatments, my hair became very long, and if I did not arrange it in time, it would be very troublesome.

I tied my hair that decomposed into one behind my neck.

"Now it's better."

While I was thinking of escaping again, the door of carriage number three opened and new people appeared.

As soon as I got rid of one group, the others kept showing up.

There seems to be no end.

That's why I want to leave quickly.

"What is..."

The people coming from the third carriage saw me standing alone inside the fourth carriage that was half crushed, and my face hardened coldly.

"Kill him!"

Someone who seemed to be their captain was furious as he gave the order.

At the same time, the people who were waiting pointed their rifles at me.

Seeing him, I desperately tried to resist their attacks.

'Yes. What can I do? Now that I have come this far, I will see the end.'

"Shoot!"

The captain gave the order and his subordinates pulled the trigger.

But the bullet didn't come out.

Crack down! Crack down!

"Oh, ooh?"

"What are you doing?"

"Se.. his weapon is broken!"

"What?"

While everyone was talking, I prepared my next spell.

If they were together like that, it was easy to get rid of them from where I stood.

But there's one thing I noticed…

There were also witches among them.

Holy hooch!

The spell I used was canceled in the air.

The witch looked at me with wary eyes as she pointed her wand at me.

"I didn't know there was a witch among the passengers of the train."

“…”

"Suire, since it's already like this, you should die with them as well."

What's with his words? He was determined to kill me from the beginning.

I think those people are******** and anything I say there will not work.

I took my watch out of my pocket and checked the time.

Ten minutes had not passed since they started attacking.

'Is there still ... little time left?'

The scenery passing outside was still cold and gloomy.

When I saw it through the window, I thought it was beautiful, but as the bulkhead wall in between disappeared, it became very scary.

There's still time before the train leaves Mount Arette.

It will be difficult for the support forces to come soon.

'I have no choice…'

When I think about the location of the train and the time that has passed, at least I have five more minutes.

'… But to hang in there.'
