Disguised As A Teacher In Magic Academy

Chapter 34 - Wolf Man (3)

Talk to Lynne?'

She had given criticism to him and told him to calm his mind and such, but he had actually asked Lynne a question in a more caring way.

While he was thinking about whether to debate it or not, the werewolf that was burning by the flames jumped up.

“Pr-professor! There!"

"I know."

Ludger looked at the werewolf while standing in a position of protecting Lynne and Elendil.

Most of his injuries caused by magic had healed, but were still dazed because of his pain.

The werewolves, who were staring at them with boundless hostility, suddenly moved.

Not to make them rush but to escape.

"ah! It was escaping!

At the same time Lynne shouted, Ludger chased after the werewolf.

He never had the slightest intention of losing the werewolf he had found.

Lynne and Elendil had not noticed it yet, but the werewolf's neck was also tied with a rope.

Luckily the rope was covered in fur and could not be seen well.

However, if someone else found it after that, it would be difficult for him to dispel the evidence.

Ludger came out of his place with mana at his feet.

As he chased the werewolf through the dark grass and across the park, he could see the werewolf crawling up to the roof on the outer wall of a nearby research building.

—Her sharp nails easily penetrate the outer wall of the building, and its large body soon reaches the roof full of towers.

"I won't lose it."

Ludger immediately used his cable launcher to fly vertically into the air and settle on the roof.

Elendil and Lynne, who were still watching the scene from afar, were astonished, with their mouths wide open.

"Is that floating magic?"

"Maybe?"

—Floating magic that can be implemented by releasing casting mana.

They do not believe Ludger's ability to operate mana, which he can use naturally while he runs.

The two, who could not see the wire launcher because it was dark at night, saw Ludger's entire movement as part of his magic.

The two silhouettes on the roof faced each other.

Although not clearly visible because it is far away, it is not difficult to distinguish Ludger between the two based on the size and approximate appearance.

"Ah. Full moon.”

The clouds in the sky were cleared, and soon a cold and soft silver layer flowed over it like the hem of a curtain.

It was full moon night.

Ludger moved first as he balanced himself on the roof of the tower-filled building.

The werewolves also rushed towards Ludger.

The two crossed each other, and a fierce fight ensued.

"Gee."

"Jeez."

Lynne and Elendil witness Ludger's battle, forgetting that they must leave.

There was something about Ludger's fighting style that made it difficult for them to take their eyes off him.

Under the moonlight, Ludger moved like a dancer and dodged werewolf attacks.

The attack made their skin shudder despite being away from the battle.

But none of them touched Ludger's body.

And his brilliant spell that was cast in the middle of the werewolf attack gap…

Fire, ice, wind. The spell elements were shot out like arrows.

The spell was second-rate magic, but the spell actually hit the vital part of the werewolf.

"They said he was a soldier before he came here."

Elendil remembered what he knew about Ludger Chelyie.

He wasn't particularly interested, but the waiter who cared for him brought his data to read just in case, so he had read it all to pass the time.

Back then, he recalled that Ludger Chelysie had been a soldier and had military achievements while hunting Cryptids.

Words written in his personal history ...

They really took place before his eyes.

Elendil sees a witch fighting for the first time.

No, could he see it as a witch fight?

It was more controlled, neat, and thorough.

Rather than a magician, his fighting style was more like a warrior, or perhaps more like a hunter aiming for his purpose accurately.

Goodbye!

The werewolf rolled on the roof while making a loud noise and slipped on the slope.

Ludger did not miss the opportunity.

He is a predator who never misses the gap created by injured prey.

His appearance when using magic to attack werewolves seemed to be more akin to that of wolves themselves.

Whooshing sound!

The ice fangs Ludger shot through the chest of the werewolf.

Three fist-sized ice spears pierced through the bodies of consecutive werewolves and pierced them on the roof.

No matter how formidable a werewolf was, he would definitely soon die from such injuries.

The fight is over.

'Well, I'm tired.'

Ludger realized that he had spent a lot of mana to deal with werewolves.

'But it's not good to use a lot of mana.'

She was happy to meet Hans and bring the cure again. He would be in big trouble if he didn't.

Originally, he did not need to use magic to deal with those werewolves.

There are many ways more certain than consuming mana in vain.

The deteriorating condition of his body also played a role in the consumption of mana.

If he had to point out the problem, that place was Soren.

There were a few eyes watching him from time to time.

'A magic professor must have used magic in front of his students.'

First of all, he was the so-called professor Soren, so if he used a tool or method that he often used in the days he became a hunter and not magic there, then, they'll be suspicious of him.

'I have to finish it quickly before it becomes more troublesome.'

There are still other werewolves hiding in Soen.

He'll finish his job to get rid of the werewolves that night.

Goodbye!

As Ludger slowly approached the werewolf, the stumbling werewolf suddenly raised his arm.

There was still a long way for him to reach the werewolf, so even though he swung his arm, he would not be able to reach it. What would the werewolf do?

Ludger's question vanished as soon as he saw the debris of the building being thrown by a werewolf.

'What?'

It was fortunate that he was on guard.

Ludger built a barricade around his body immediately releasing mana.

Debris flying like arrows struck him and bounced, but the problem was that the werewolf was dragging time for his next move.

The crack!

Due to the strong muscle strength of the werewolf, part of the roof collapsed, and his body fell from there.

Debris dispersed, and clouds of misty dust swirled around it.

Ludger narrowed his eyes at the sight.

'Wolf people use their surroundings as tools?'

No matter how artificial the non-Cryptid creature was, since it was based on wolves, his instinct as an animal naturally preceded his actions.

Even if he could use his brain, it was mostly about distinguishing whether he could touch his opponent or not.

But from the previous werewolf to the one in front of him…

Somehow it is doubtful to call them werewolves.

Ludger also did not expect the werewolf to escape once he felt the emergency situation, but he never expected to dispose of the wreckage of the damaged building in particular.

'Have I lost it?'

Ludger, who entered the building through a gaping hole, clicked his tongue when he realized that the werewolf itself had disappeared.

However, he did not completely lose it.

There was still a delicate scent in the air that stimulated his nose.

'Luckily I buried my scent in the middle of the fight, just in case.'

Ludger followed the scent left behind by the werewolf.

His intention to solve everything at the end of the day remains unchanged.

—Because he wants to live.

“Tessie! Tessie! Where are you?"

“Aidan. We couldn't find it no matter how much we walked. Wouldn't it be better to just give up?"

Aidan and Leo search for Tessie with great difficulty in places no one visits.

Last time, they heard that Tessie was going into the woods in the east, and the two continued to search for Tessie even after sunset.

But there was no sign of Tessie's presence.

Leo spoke first as he slowly began to feel annoyed.

"I'm sure Tessie must have backed off when she realized she couldn't do it alone. Isn't that so if we can't find him, even in a place like this?"

"But you never know. Even though Tessie was the one to bet, it was our fault for not rejecting it properly."

Leo seemed to pout as he listened to Aidan's argument.

She's obviously the one who thinks Tessie is troublesome because she keeps clinging to them and lying to him to drive him away.

He feels a little guilty.

That's also why they went around looking for Tessie.

"But we are also in danger if caught by the professor. Others will say it was just a penalty point, but it was also a big penalty for us because we also have to pay attention to our rankings."

"But we can't let it."

"Do you really believe that Tessie's still looking for a werewolf?"

"I don't usually believe that, but what we're talking about is Tessie."

In fact, Aidan did not know why he was so sure after saying so.

But the look in Tessie's eyes when she asks him to fight with her again and when he's just chatting on an ordinary occasion…

The look in his eyes always seemed very desperate and obsessive, like a person who wanted to achieve something.

The thought that he might actually be wandering around with his chaotic body to catch a werewolf appeared in his mind.

“Fieh. I've understood. Let's check it out in 30 minutes, but if we don't find it then, let's go back to the dorm."

Leo sighed as he looked at the boy beside him, who had a strong sense of justice.

Even so, Leo could not stop him.

He knew that his kind-hearted companion, who approached him to be his friend at first, was someone who was so stubborn at crucial moments and unwilling to compromise.

It was the moment when the two people who had rested for a while would move again…

Kyaaah!

There was a distant cry belonging to a girl.

The familiar strange voice was clearly the voice of the Tessie Friad, which was highly sought after by both of them.

"Leo!"

"Yes. I heard. That way!”

The two ran through the grass and branches to where the scream came from.

At that moment, the grass across shook, and someone appeared out.

And Aidan, who was running in front, collided with that person.

Aidan fell backwards as he was squeezed under something.

"God. What's all of a sudden?"

"Hngg."

Aidan raised his head as he felt something shatter his body as he fell backwards.

The first thing he saw was a woman with red hair who had a strong presence, even with the moonlight shining down on her.

“...Tessie?”

“...Aidan?”

Tessie immediately raised her body when she realized who the person below her was in a cuddly position.

“You.... you! Why are you here?!"

“That's because I heard your screams..”.

"What?! W-what do you mean scream?! I never did that."

Looking towards Tessie who blushed and snapped at Aidan, Leo sighed as he said, "I'm worried for no reason."

Then they heard the cries of beasts.

Grrr.

"Oh! Aidan's. Did you hear that?

"Yes. Is that really the werewolf of the rumor?"

The wary gazes of the two men turned to the bushes. Aidan and Leo both pulled out their sticks.

Then Tessie stood in front of the two.

"You two. Just a minute."

“Tessie. What are you doing?"

When Aidan asked such a question, Tessie hesitated, unlike her usual self. He put his finger on his lips and signaled for them to follow him.

Aidan and Leo look at each other out of curiosity about what happened and finally decide to follow in Tessie's footsteps.

The three of them, who were moving silently, immediately reached the front of the basin where the ground crashed.

"See that."

As they looked in the direction Tessie pointed to in a soft voice, they saw something writhing in the middle of the basin filled with fallen leaves.

“It...”

Aidan, a country boy with good night vision, soon discovers what it is.

"Wolf Man?"

It was clearly a werewolf. It was full of wounds everywhere and panting all the time, but it was definitely a werewolf.

And…

"But that's a puppy?"

The little werewolf is an immature puppy.
