Disguised As A Teacher In Magic Academy

Chapter 30 - Black Dawn Society (1)

I squeezed the note and put it in my pocket, and then I was immersed in contemplation.

First of all, I know that the Black Dawn Society is linked to the werewolf crisis.

However, given that it was urgent to capture werewolves and get rid of them if not possible, it meant that the werewolf escape might also be unexpected by them.

'The problem is, if the werewolf is caught, the Black Dawn Society will suffer greatly.'

If they suffer so much, it makes no difference to my benefit.

Even if I pretended not to feel anything outside, I welcomed such a situation with open arms inside.

But if there is a problem, it is written in the last sentence.

there is a possibility that your identity will be discovered.

In other words, it means the identity of Ludger Chelysie is somewhat related to the creation of werewolf experiments.

I must capture at least three werewolves. No, it's two.

In other words, I had to find and capture werewolves before Soen did and then kill them.

'In case to think ... there's a mark on the werewolf.'

Perhaps the sign itself is related to the person conducting the experiment.

The problem is that Ludger Chelysie is somehow involved in it.

To be honest, if it had nothing to do with me, I would leave it to Soren to take care of it.

But because I was involved there, the story was different.

If I get caught, I'll die.

"Professor Ludger? Are you sick?"

"It's okay."

I racked my brain while answering that I was fine with professor Selena's question when she anxiously asked me about my well-being.

For now, it has been confirmed that there are as many as three werewolves.

I've caught one, so only two are left.

—One in Soeren and one in Leathervelk.

"I have to hunt them down."

Meanwhile, a war of nerves between the headmaster and Hugo is gradually heading towards the end.

"Well, it's up to Professor Hugo to be narrow-minded, but I just want to make sure that you get the job done."

"So, do I need to intensify the patrols?"

"That's not all. I'll increase the number of people who patrol a little, and most importantly, we can't keep quiet until all the students return to the dorms late at night."

Hugo looked very upset at the words.

Instead of worrying about that student, he seemed to dislike the fact that someone like him had to do patrols that only employees should.

However, the incident had happened, and other professors were also aware of the seriousness of the situation.

Even Hugo was in a position where he could not directly defy the order.

"Well, of course."

"good. And other professors should also warn their students not to go out late at night. If they break the warning, you can give them penalty points. It was a directive that I, the principal, ordered myself. Understood?"

“Ck. Understood."

After the meeting, the professors got up from their seats and split up one by one.

I would also get up and return to my office, but some people blocked my path first.

"Are you Professor Ludger Chelysie? I'm glad to meet you. My name is Daniel Masrak, and I'm in charge of astrology."

"Professor Ludger, this is him in charge of the reinforcements class..."

It is clear why they approached me.

—They want to ask me about the source code spell.

The greed that radiated in their eyes had already told me that.

"I'm sorry, but I have to go because I'm busy."

I immediately dispelled their interest in me and left the conference room.

***

Instead of heading straight to my office, I moved to a remote warehouse.

I stopped at my place because I thought it was enough.

"Get out."

The person who sent me the message at the meeting must have been waiting for me to come out.

There must be something they want to say because they cannot convey all their intentions in a few lines of message.

As soon as I spoke, I could feel the presence of someone hesitating over the pillar and sticking out his head.

"Eh..."

"Speak."

His first impression was of a girl who looked like a squirrel.

Well, I think I've seen him somewhere, but he was one of the subordinates of the Black Dawn Society who tried to approach me 15 days after I entered Soren.

"What's the problem?"

"J-so..."

He looked confused, as he did not expect to see me again.

Then he showed himself completely from behind the pillar, and I was a little surprised to see him in a Soeren uniform.

I didn't expect him to be a student there.

The reason why most members of the Black Dawn Society hid as employees there was because the status of students could not be manipulated just like that.

To get in there, I believe they must have the talent or ability to pass the entrance examination.

I had no idea that the person who seemed to be a low-ranking member of society was a student there and he was also a new student who had just entered school.

At our first meeting, I didn't know because he wasn't wearing a uniform either.

"Let's move out of here first. Follow me."

"Ah yes."

I lead, and he follows.

I suddenly remembered something, so I looked at my back and asked.

"Do you like coffee?"

"I'm sorry?"

* * *

I sat face to face with the Third Order students in a deserted cafe.

He had been puzzled for quite some time and shrunk his shoulders.

I glanced at.

—White skin and complicated facial features, thick brown short hair with slim body.

I couldn't see her ears and her bangs were so long they almost covered her eyes.

It was like looking at a little squirrel.

I guess I wasn't wrong when I saw him tremble because of my bullying back then.

I sipped hot coffee in front of me and placed it on the table in a loud voice.

Knocks.

"Geek!"

The sound of the coffee cup and the table touching each other made the girl's shoulders flex.

"Name."

"I'm sorry?"

"I won't ask you again. Names."

"I. I'm Sedina Rochen."

"Is that a real name?"

"Yes yes."

"It's not an alias?"

'This is unexpected.'

Having a surname in this world meant that they came from a higher class than ordinary people.

—A noble, priestess, or wealthy merchant.

Why would a woman who grew up in such a perfect environment enter into a secret society? And he also had the talent to enter the Academy but could only become the lowest Third Order?

'No. It's possible that from the more prestigious family he came from, the less pleasant treatment he would get.'

The strangest part was that he was only a Third Order with such a level of talent.

Well, I'll ask you later.

I flicked my finger lightly.

"Tell me exactly what happened... Without missing a single thing."

"Oh, that's our neighborhood..."

"I cast a sound-blocking spell. Even if we yell here, the conversation won't leak."

"Sound blocking spell? As expected of Mr. The First Order."

It was strange for him to keep saying that I was First Order.

No, honestly, it's uncomfortable.

"We have to fix that nickname first. From now on don't call me Mr. The First Order."

"Sorry?!"

Hearing my words, Sedina opened her eyes wide as if she had just heard the news that suddenly appeared.

I don't think I'd make that face even if people said that the country was destroyed without being exaggerated.

"Yes yes. That's right."

"From now on, call me Professor Ludger."

“Ho, how could I be so indecent..”

"That's an order."

"O.. message."

He nodded as he said, "Understood," as I spoke in a strong tone that it was an order.

However, contrary to the obligation ordered to her, her lips continued to lift up for the pleasure of being able to call out my name.

"So, what's the situation?"

"Ah yes. I'll explain everything. The recent werewolf incident that occurred at our Black Dawn Society, or, to be exact, at an affiliated organization that joined hands with us."

For a moment I was confused by the sudden change in tone of speech, but I nodded naturally.

"Keep talking. Without missing a single detail."

"Just like the First, no, Professor Ludger already knows, there are factions within the Black Dawn Society. Especially with Victor Dreadful, the other First Order, who pushed this project with great enthusiasm."

"Yes, of course."

Actually, I don't know anything.

But I pretended to know everything when responding to his words.

'Victor Dreadful.'

"The Shamsus school, created by gathering scientists expelled from the association for its habit of using black magic and unethical experiments in the back alley, went to Cryptid experiments as usual."

"What experiments do they really focus on?"

"Only a few of us know that, so I don't know much... Oh, come to think of it, you lent your name when Mr. Victor asked for help."

"I just lent my name to him. I didn't expect him to come this far."

Looking at his response, Ludger seemed to be rather close to the person named Victor.

It was just that their closeness would be toxic to me back then.

The Shamsus School must have been undergoing experiments on Cryptids, and their lab rats finally escaped, and it turned out that way.

"It was their fault, so they should have taken care of it themselves, but one of the escaped lab rats was hiding in Soren through the sewer."

"That's why there were casualties the day before."

"Yes. This is something that even we, the Black Dawn Society, did not expect at all."

“…”

"Oh, I'm sorry. I'm too chatty... I often make this mistake when I get too excited. As expected, someone like me..."

Sedina Rochen's attitude had turned passive, probably because she was looking at me in a different way.

I immediately shook my head.

"No. Unlike your stuttering at our first meeting, your explanation was excellent, so I was impressed."

"I'm .. I just feel sorry."

"You speak better than I expected. You can explain further. Glad to hear your explanation."

"Is it... is it true?! Yep! Understood!"

After throwing some compliments, Sedina was immediately pleased and continued her explanation.

In my heart I breathed a sigh of relief.

If he stops explaining, I can't find any more information.

I have to take out all the information as long as I am respected by Sedina as I am covered in the First Order's shell.

'It's easy to use.'

For now, Sedina Rochen is a member of the Third Order under the Black Dawn Society, but her own abilities are quite outstanding.

From gathering information to continuing the explanation, our own conversation was quite long and smooth.

Sneaking notes sent to me was also part of his magic.

However, why would he only become a Third Order with that level of skill?

"He doesn't seem to be in his place."

The fact that Sedina has a last name means her family is a fairly wealthy noble family.

'His reaction showed reluctance when he said his last name in his introduction. In other words, he doesn't like his family. Aversion? Insubordination sense? Something much bigger than that.'

The problem was that he might have entered the Black Dawn Society of his own accord, but it didn't look like it at all from the other members' point of view.

They thought that maybe he was a spy, and he himself had a loose personality, so he could not get along well with the other members.

'To send me magic in secret, to be literate about a lot of information, to be accepted at Soen as a student ... His position was rather low compared to the outstanding ability he had. It seemed, within the organization, he was only considered a pawn that was used roughly before being thrown away.'

Only by looking at it, which seemed like he was dedicated to me, in the identity of someone known to have a trashy personality, could I get a rough estimate.

Sedina herself may have been so excited that she swore allegiance to the Black Dawn Society, but the community itself was unhappy with her presence.

He tried to work harder because he seemed to be aware of that fact, but the situation did not improve well against him, and he fell into a deep hole.

'From the Black Dawn Society's point of view, they held him back for now, but he was like something they were hesitant to use because they were not interested in him, but they still could not give up on him.'

No, it was impossible for a First Order executive to care about him from the start.

They might try to use it as a sacrifice to carry out a mission that requires him to risk his own life.

I can imagine his future without seeing it.

'Will someone from the Second Order get rid of him?'

Some time ago I saw a crack inside the Soeren at that meeting.

And at that moment…

I could also see the cracks engraved inside the Black Dawn Society.

There is no perfect organization in this world.

After all, the people's residences were all the same.

'It's possible...'

It felt like I could see a way out when I discovered that both sides had considerable disagreements with each other, in a situation where the Soren and Black Dawn Society are stuck in a layered problem like a sandwich.

If I do well, maybe I can get something from Sedina?

"Once you catch a lab rat, it's better not to leave any evidence. The priority is to capture them alive, but we have no choice but to get rid of them as quickly as possible because people are getting noisier about it. There are many three of them, so we will try our best to.”.

"No. There are two of them.”

"I'm sorry?"

I took out the werewolf rope that I had put in my inner pocket and showed it to Sedina.

"I-this is impossible..."

"I've caught one of them."

"When are you on earth ……."

"Two days ago, in Leathervelk."

His face was blank because he did not know that I had already captured one of the three werewolves.

"As expected of Mr. First Order."

His expression was one of extreme respect.

His level of trust in me was always maximal, but it felt more and more advanced.

"By the way, are there still two of them left?"

"Yes yes."

"You said werewolves hide here through the sewers, so I'll expand the search around the gutters first. Soren still doesn't know this information, does he?"

“Yes, you're right, but I don't know how many more days this will last...”.

"Then I have to move on immediately."

I said so and got up from my seat.

Sedina looked at me as if asking if the conversation was over and immediately lowered her head because she thought her behavior was disrespectful.

I removed the sound barrier that I had surrounded with us.

"Sedina Rochen, I've heard your story well. See you next time if you get a chance."

"Yes yes! Uh.. Professor Ludger.”

Sedina blushed in embarrassment after saying so.

If I see her like that, she looks like a young girl her age.

How could such a child end up in such a monstrous organization called the Black Dawn Society?

Well, he must have his own circumstances.

"All right then…"

I left the cafe after finishing all the coffee.

***

Flora Lumos would go to the library and study casually because she had no classes that day.

He would usually just laze around, but recently he couldn't sit idly by because of a professor who ignited his desire to learn more about magic.

Thinking so, he was walking in the outer corridor with a long curved pillar.

'Oh?'

Outside the window of the second-floor cafe not far from him, he could see a familiar face.

How could he possibly forget such a face?

It was the man who taught the class he took back then.

Ludger Chelysie's.

But there was something suspicious about his attitude.

'Who's the girl on the other side?'

Ludger, who looked somewhat softer than usual, was talking face-to-face with a schoolgirl.
