Disguised As A Teacher In Magic Academy

Chapter 53 - The Past (2)

After having a face-to-face conversation with Ludger, Lynne walked down the hallway with a dreamy expression on her face.

He held the non-property magic book that Ludger had given in his hand.

Although his consciousness seemed to be preoccupied with something, he instinctively felt that he should treat the book with great value.

Lynne, who was walking down the hall with quick steps, stopped when she heard a voice calling out to her.

"Lynne."

“O-oh? E-Elendil?”

It was a soft and sweet voice that called out to him.

She was a second-year student who took the same spell-shredding class as Lynne, and she was the Empire's third princess who was definitely the best in the continent and was even famous in Soen.

Elendil looked at Lynne with a worried look.

"What brings you here…?"

"What do you mean? I waited for you because I was worried. You were called by Professor Ludger.”

"I'm sorry? Ah ah! Yep. Is correct. Hehe."

"Hmm?"

Elendil grows suspicious of Lynne's strange reaction.

"Lynne's... Did you experience any harassment from professor Ludger...?"

Elendil did not think of Ludger's previous behavior in the best possible way.

It must be because his first impression was the worst for him.

During the first orientation, Ludger had shown his mettle by not telling students what he would teach in his class. Because of that, there was a lot of talk among the students in the , so his attitude must have surprised them greatly.

In fact, it was Elendil who first asked Ludger the question in a slightly sharp tone.

To him who had true truth value, Ludger's actions were completely unacceptable.

After that, the teachings in his class were quite extraordinary, so he admired it, but that alone did not necessarily erase his bad perception of Ludger that stuck in his mind at the beginning.

Instead, he was even more annoyed at Ludger's unexpected cold-hearted attitude towards him in the werewolf incident last time.

It was clear to him that he had bad thoughts when Ludger took Lynne to the professor's office.

"It's .. it's not like that!"

Lynne hurriedly defended Ludger.

"Professor Ludger has just given me some advice....! Well, he didn't touch me or anything! Professor Ludger is not a pervert!"

"What?"

Elendil was a bit embarrassed when Lynne said that.

Elendil blushed and spoke in a somewhat surprised tone.

"I .. I didn't mean to say it like that. Lynne ... You're quite cunning, I get it."

“M-sorry?”

"I was just talking about him telling you to change your class or forcing you to take another class and get you out of his class. I. I don't believe that it is the relationship between a man and a woman that comes to your mind." …”

“O-oh? W-wait! Not like that!"

Lynne also blushed in embarrassment when she realized that she had caused a huge misunderstanding.

As he looked towards Lynne, who was desperately trying to say something out of embarrassment, Elendil burst into laughter.

"Ha ha ha. I've understood. Since nothing I worry about happens, I will accept it in a good way."

"…Through?"

“So, did nothing really happen? Nothing at all?”

"Yes. I'm telling you that there's nothing.

“Then what book is it?”

"Ah."

Elendil notices that Lynne is holding a book she has never seen before in her hand and points to it.

He noticed that Lynne Lynn had handled the book carefully as if it was something very precious.

Of course, he must be curious about it.

"This is the book that Professor Ludger gave me."

"Professor Ludger?"

Lynn nodded her head. Elendil opened his eyes wide, as it was a little unbelievable for him.

She doesn't know much about Ludger, but she never thought that she would take care of Lynne when she couldn't keep up with her class—mostly because of her personality.

He thinks that he's going to get Lynne out of his class.

"Yes. He told me that if I studied this book, it would help me a lot in following his class."

"Thank you?"

Seeing Lynne smile thinly made Elendil feel even more disbelief.

'Ludger did this much good for him?'

'Didn't the man sharply and brutally point out the shortcomings of the application of the elemental property by the students in the last grade?'

Of course, all of his words were true, and he understood that it was his way of motivating his students by interfering with their self-esteem.

Elendil did not particularly like such a method.

'Wait. I think he was also very kind to Lynne at that time.'

When the werewolves have attacked Soen…

He recalled that Ludger was a bit rude to him, who bore the title of Princess, and spoke a little softly to Lynne.

Of course, the memory of that time was slightly distorted due to his poor views of Ludger, but the overall context was unchanged.

If he saw the fact that he called Lynne separately and even gave her a book…

Impossible…

Elendil had a few words in his mind, but he did not say them out loud.

Back then, Lynne was worrying about something and asked the question carefully so that only Elendil could hear it.

"Do you think, perhaps, that professor likes me?"

“…”

Lynne really expressed a thought that only existed in Elendil's mind.

Elendil shook his head while thinking about how to explain it.

"No, it's not that."

"No?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"I understand."

Lynne also thought that what she said was not true.

However, after saying that, he also hesitated.

'Doesn't that mean Professor Ludger really likes me?'

If she puts it that way, it sounds like she's bragging, but Lynne is confident in her appearance.

"But am I not pretty enough?"

Lynne was actually a woman with a very beautiful appearance that could attract the attention of even a good noble.

Her hair color was also quite rare, but her matching beauty was enough to make Lynne's name known among all the boys in Soeren.

Suddenly, Lynne imagines a scene where she is with Ludger.

She thought they would be a suitable match, but Lynne immediately shook her head.

'No, no matter how good we are... To be with someone I don't know yet...'

Lynne has a pretty strong conservative personality in that sort of thing.

Elendil, who was staring at Lynne while shaking his head after showing a blank face alone, spoke carefully.

"Have you eaten yet?"

"I'm sorry? N-no. Not yet."

“Then, will you eat with me?”

Lynne was overjoyed at the Princess' offer to eat with her because she never expected it.

It was because he had thought that if it was Elendil, there would also be others eating with them.

But it was Lynne's misunderstanding.

Elendil has rarely hung out with anyone so far. Her status as a princess was great, but she was shunned by other students because the status she held was so high.

There were students from noble families who occasionally talked to him, but they only communicated with him for political purposes. They did not approach him solely because they liked Elendil as a person. All they saw was the third Princess, not Elendil.

Yep…

To be honest, Elendil was a loner who went alone, even in Soen.

Because Elendil was like that, he boldly offered, for the first time, a meal with his junior who was already close to him.

'Oh my. You were the first to ask me to eat with them!'

And in the eyes of Lynne who had been lonely because of the events at the beginning of the semester, the offer seemed like a great blessing given by her senior.

Perhaps Elendil thought Lynne's delayed answer was rejection, he twisted his blonde hair with his finger and spoke.

"healthy. I can not help it if you do not like it or feel uncomfortable. ”.

"No! I want to eat with you!”

At that moment, Lynne and Elendil, each for the first time, finally have a close friend they can eat with.

***

After sending Lynne away, I sat alone in the professor's room and recalled my meeting with her.

I don't think he knows it, but I know what power he has.

'Non-property magic... It is not surprising that the property itself does not exist.'

For me, non-property magic is a new form of magic that has never been invented, so there is nothing new about it.

—Because magic is always new to me.

Since I have lived in a world without magic before, the magic that exists in this world has always given me mysterious experiences.

Ironically…

I, who have memories and knowledge of other worlds, appreciate magic more than the witches who are the inhabitants of this world.

Witches have recently been in a narrow way of thinking isolated and stagnant in their own lives.

After experiencing death and a new life, moreover, realizing that magic was after, I was one level higher in receiving things than others.

Should I say that the barrier in my brain has loosened?

Another witch who discovered the new magic would say:

- Non-property magic? There can't be anything like that!

And even when their mouths are foaming, I would say:

- Non-property magic? This is a world where magic exists, so there can be something like that.

It has gone beyond the point of flexibility.

The perspective I have and the way I understand magic itself is different from that of a witch of this world.

Even my strict teacher used to click her tongue on certain topics when she taught me.

However, what I cared about when I saw Lynne was not her magic, but her eyes.

Non-property magic was only part of his strength.

His real power is his 'eyes'.

'The eye... It's worth thinking I've seen it somewhere.'

My old teacher had all kinds of antique books that were usually hundreds of years old that witches could no longer find about monsters and demons.

It was said that there were no monsters except a few Cryptids, but in the past, the continent was full of all kinds of monsters.

And there were even demons who had dealt with those monsters.

'That was just a moment, but the eyes he showed me ...'

I remember Lynne's eyes.

His eyes have a fine blue color.

But when we spoke a moment before, I noticed a subtle change in Lynne's eye color.

Among his blue irises, there was a white light that shone like starlight in the sky.

I would definitely recognize such strange eyes.

'The eye that distinguishes good from evil, the Eye of Judgment. If it's not wrong, Lynne is the owner of the Eye of Judgement.'

The Eye of Judgment is the eye that distinguishes good and bad in others, and more than that, clearly indicates whether they have hostility towards their owners or not.

It was an ability that could not be called magic, rather, it was really close to a miracle and a mystery.

The greatest thing about the Eye of Judgment is that its owner can see 'demons' hiding in the crevices of humans.

'Right now, most of those demons are treated as legends.'

To people today, demons are just evil creatures with red skin and horns on their heads that only appear in fairy tales.

—Products lies to scare children.

However, according to the literature, it seems that demons do exist.

'There must also be demons in this world where there is magic. I died and came back to life, so why is there no one like the devil?'

And Lynne's eyes have a strong connection with the devil.

I have seen with my own eyes that the Eye of Judgment, written only as a record, really exists.

In other words, the existence of the Eye of Judgment that distinguishes demons also proves the existence of demons.

Another characteristic of the Eye of Judgment is that, if it appears, a major event will occur, regardless of the time period.

Fortunately, Lynne's Eye of Judgment wasn't in a fully awakened state, and she probably didn't know that she had such an ability.

But one day, he'll realize it.

'Is this also what they call destiny?'

A book about non-property magic that I submitted to Lynne…

I didn't expect the book written by 'he' to go around and get back into Lynne's hands.

I don't think Lynne remembers it herself.

"A little dizzy."

The fact that I realized that he was the owner of the Eye of Judgment and the fact that I was faced with a relationship with my past again was like that.

'I can't believe I was involved in this kind of event in Soren.'

I got up from my seat while sighing.

Suddenly…

Some thoughts came to my mind.

If Lynne can use the Eye of Judgment properly, she may be able to find all the members of the secret society hiding in Soren.

The thing that was most threatening to me was especially the other First Order, which I still had a hard time identifying.

I don't know who she is and what she does, but that doesn't mean I can ask Sedina Rochen about her.

'I intend to increase my vigilance as much as possible, but I should be able to guess first to do that.'

Unless I know where they are and what the other First Order is doing, I have to be careful.

But if Lynne's Eye of Judgment is working properly, maybe it'll help me a lot.

The Three Musketeers, including Aidan and his friends, plus Lynne…

If I use those kids' powers cleverly, then maybe…

'No, it's okay. Let's stop working now.'

When I opened the door to leave the teacher room while wearing my coat, I had no choice but to stop when I heard the screams outside the door.

“Aaaaah.”

The dark blue haired girl was sitting on the floor with her hands holding her head as if her forehead was hitting the door.

Staring at him, contrary to my confused inner thoughts, I said in a cold voice.

“What brought you here, Flora Lumos?”
