Disguised As A Teacher In Magic Academy

Chapter 41 - Steps to Truth (3)

"Damn! Brother!"

Bruno reacted once he confirmed that Veron's head had been decapitated.

Countless insects wriggled through the gaps in his clothes.

Bruno quickly twisted his brain.

'What the man was using was sound waves... And he even used metal magic...'

The properties of the elements are divided into 10 elements:

Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Plants, Electricity, Metal, Ice, Darkness, and Light.

There is also an unknown property that has not been revealed.

In the case of sound magic, it is often considered a branch of the wind element because it uses atmospheric vibrations.

And what Ludger used to stop Tesla's weapons was Metal property magic.

'Metal is an element that comes from the earth. The elemental properties that a magician could normally handle only consisted of similar characteristics.'

According to Bruno's judgment, the Ludger elemental magic he was able to handle was Wind, Earth, and Metal.

Usually, in the case of magicians, there were about two to three properties they could handle.

No matter how skilled they were, they could only handle up to four properties.

If they can handle five properties, it can be said that they are within the area of natural talent.

As a result, witches basically cast three elements that their opponents had to face.

That is basic common sense, and that is the obvious thing.

'If he were to deal with the wind element, the characteristics of a small flying insect would not be good to fight against him. Then I have to finish it with my giant men.'

Since he was not convinced yet, he could not rule out the possibility of Ludger possessing the fourth element.

A giant centipede with a thick crust poking out from Bruno's sleeves.

It was an insect that could not be seen in the general ecosystem, created through black magic and hybridization of a subspecies of certain insects captured in the southern forest.

But the neck of the centipede that Bruno pulled was instantly cut off.

It took less than a second for the sharp sword to point towards his neck.

"Ughhh!"

Bruno twisted his body and escaped from Ludger's sword.

Hidden beneath his clothes, the hard beetle wrapped around him like a chain of armor.

'Is he willing to do close combat? Is she a war witch?'

Bruno immediately tried to distance himself from Ludger.

At that moment, a spell technique was carved in front of Ludger.

Bruno's eyes widened.

'That Fire Flutters!'

A spell technique that seemed to form a flame was carved in just a few milliseconds.

The level 3 fire element spell, Fluttering Flame, engulfed Bruno in less than a second, emitting a powerful flame.

“Aaaaaaaaargh!”

The flames blazed along with Bruno's shout, lighting up the surroundings. The soldiers, who were staring at the entrance, looked back and opened their eyes wide.

"That's .. that's the enemy!"

"What the hell is it ?!"

But in the meantime, Bruno twisted his body in the heat.

The most difficult magic element for a magician dealing with insects was definitely the property of a flame.

He did not believe the intruder was utilizing an element that had nothing to do with the other three properties.

That's unbelievable.

"W-how the hell?"

All the burned insects could barely survive, but Bruno's condition was not very good either.

As he was half melted from the burns all over his body, he looked at Ludger as he collapsed on the spot.

He thought that he was not off guard, but he also did not expect that his enemy would become this extreme.

"Who are you?"

“…”

Bam!

Instead of answering, Ludger pulled out a revolver and shot Bruno in the head.

At the same time, the backup power is activated, and the light is on inside the laboratory.

"Ooh!"

"No .. no way, the insect brothers are dead."

The soldiers in charge of security in looking at the bodies of Bruno and Veron were brothers and confused.

Even if they all combined their strength, they would still lose at the hands of one of the brothers, and the intruder itself had defeated the two brothers.

The soldiers lost their fighting spirit.

There was no way they could fight such a monster.

Everyone retreats from Ludger's fear, and changes occur to Veron's body, which has been decapitated and collapsed.

Whooshing sound!

“…!”

Ludger responded immediately. As soon as the body flew forward, a large hand scratched the space where Ludger was standing before.

—It was the front leg of the insect, full of sharp spines in its delicate shell.

"Are you not dead?"

Ludger looked at Veron, who moved his body and asked the question.

Veron's decapitated body rose from its place again. It was his strangely changed right hand that extended towards Ludger.

Veron extended his left hand that was still human.

There's a mouth in his palm.

"I'm surprised. I didn't expect such an ambush."

"… Is that your insect form?"

"Oh. So you know?”

Brunolah whose expertise deals with insects.

Instead, his older brother, Veron, had a large body and did not deal with insects, so Ludger wondered why they were called insect brothers.

"Is it because of that?"

Veron is a black magician whose own body mutates like a kind of insect.

Such a body would not appear naturally, so he actually used his own body as a black magic experiment.

Veron is an example of why black magicians are full of crazy people.

"Although that's the case, your head is cut off, so I don't expect you to be okay."

"My body is no longer the body of a normal person."

At the same time, when he said that, Veron's body mutated with a terrifying crackling sound.

The black robes surrounding his body widened, and countless thorns sprung up.

Ludger backwards.

Veron—who already has a giant body—looks at Ludger who is getting bigger.

He had the form of a monstrous monster that looked like a mixture of various insects.

At that time, it was hard to tell whether he was a black mage or a Cryptid.

[I can't believe you killed my brother. I'm not sad, but I'll make you responsible for it.]

Veron's arm was pulled back and shot towards Ludger like an arrow.

Ludger immediately flew in a wire launcher.

Veron's puncture passed Ludger's feet and pierced through the soldiers who were marching behind.

“Aaaaaah!”

"Run!"

Veron did not care, though his men screamed and died.

[Gosh. You move quickly. You are like a flying insect.]

Veron looks up and tries to find Ludger.

Boo-booms!

At that moment, the steel structure on the ceiling collapsed and struck Veron's head.

Bam!

Veron was fine, although a fairly heavy iron hit him. There were only a few scratches on his shell, and no cuts.

[Are you trying to draw my attention with this?]

Veron turned his big head and looked at Ludger, who slowly landed on the ground with a cable.

It was clearly a provocative act, but Ludger did not respond much.

'Truly troublesome.'

Veron's body was already beyond the reach of ordinary insects.

The shell surrounding such a large body was also hard, so it was no wonder that he was called a monster that was more than just a black mage.

'This is why they're black magicians.'

Ludger, who was about to fire his revolver, stopped and pulled all his weapons.

He realized that even a hundred shots would not work for Veron.

[Oh. Did you give up?]

Veron laughs at Ludger's actions, but Ludger instead extends his hand toward Veron.

[What did he do?]

Ludger's actions, which spread his hands towards Veron, surpassed Veron's curiosity and even sparked his displeasure.

[Is he trying to use some kind of magic?]

However, it was almost impossible to attack Veron unless it was a spell above the fourth level.

Ludger, according to his judgment, was a 3rd rank magician.

The speed of casting his spell was so fast that it was strange, but that was all.

He doesn't think that Ludger can deliver the damage he deserves.

[It's not bad to give a little generosity and see what this cute intruder is trying to do.]

Veron made that decision.

"But I don't want to use this in this situation."

[Hmm?]

"Well, that can't help."

As soon as Ludger finished his sentence…

The inside of the laboratory was filled with white light.
