Disguised As A Teacher In Magic Academy

Chapter 54 - Framework

“Flora Lumos, what are you doing here? After all, you're like a thief wandering around the door while hiding your whereabouts."

When Ludger pointed it out, Flora quickly stood up from her place and coughed while cleaning her school uniform skirt.

Flora's forehead was still flushed red after Ludger opened the door, but she opened her mouth while pretending to be fine.

“Ahem. Nice to meet you, Professor Ludger. I came here just because I wanted to ask you something."

'Act with pride and elegance.'

He acted while repeating those words in his head, but he could not hide the subtle vibrations of his voice.

Ludger was about to show that little vibe, but he decided to let it go.

"I don't mind if you come anytime to ask me about the lesson, so you don't have to wait outside like this."

"No. No. gabe. I want to thank Professor Ludger, first of all."

"Thank you?"

“I... uh.. You saved me from the failure of a spell that almost got out of control.”

He wondered why he was there. Is it because of that?

But he was there to say 'thank you'?

Flora was furious when Ludger looked at her with a surprised look.

"Why? Why do you see me like that?”

"No."

"Ugh."

Flora felt very awkward with herself, probably because she had never thanked such a person before.

Saying her gratitude made her feel something amused in her skin, but she was determined to say it at any cost.

"Uh, thank you, I'm not hurt either."

"I just did what I had to do as a professor."

Ludger's voice, which sounded very flat, seemed to say that he was never the slightest bit interested in her gratitude.

Flora knew clearly for him to be like that, but strangely it also hurt his pride.

No matter how she was not interested, couldn't she at least ask if she was okay?

He was a man whose sensibility was very hard to find.

Still, he decided not to complain because he went there to apologize as well.

“And, uh.. I guess the professor's words are not wrong.”

He said so while twisting his fingers on his bangs.

Ludger tried to recall seriously what his comments were.

'Not wrong?'

And he immediately realized what he was saying.

—What he meant was his scolding when he used overlapping element magic.

use meaningful magic. Don't lower your grades.

Was it?

"As long as you know it."

“... More than that, uh, are you okay, Professor?”

Ludger furrowed his brows as he listened to Flora's question.

"What are you talking about?"

"You must have spent a lot of mana. I'm also exhausted from suppressing mana, isn't that harder for you than it is for me? Usually, it should be many times more burdensome for the person who helps in such an incident."

"That's nothing."

Ludger said so, but in fact, he almost fainted from mana.

He was lucky that there was a mana recovery pill he had prepared beforehand in case of an unexpected situation, otherwise, he might faint shamefully in front of the students.

It was fortunate for him to have many pills if lacking mana.

Of course, he had almost run out of the medicine he had prepared for having to stop the uncontrolled mana Flora.

'Well, I can make those pills again.'

That place is Soren.

Obviously, there are places people study in pharmacology classes, and there are also pharmacology rooms in research buildings where professors can enter freely.

Because the medicine room, where professors can make as many drugs as they want, is equipped with many ingredients, professors can fill out a list of entries whenever they want and directly conduct experiments.

“Uh, how many elements can you handle?” Flora asked while playing her fingers.

“Why are you asking me that?”

“Only because.. You are dealing with five elements in the class. Isn't that a lot?"

Ludger suddenly wondered why Flora asked him so many questions.

Most genius kids do what they like, and they don't talk long to other people because they have a strong ego.

Ludger thought Flora was one of those kinds. He also thought that he had tried to use the triple overlapping property in the previous class because of that.

After all, students are students.

They wanted to see how well the professor taught them.

Ludger pondered about what to say.

'Actually, I think I can handle most elements.'

Ten elements that are often referred to by most people…

Ludger knows how to use 'everything'.

He could be said to be the opposite of a single attribute mage who could only use one element and could reach the peak of the related element.

—Owners of all properties.

However, that was why none of the elements he dealt with reached a certain level of proficiency.

He may seem like a very talented person to others, but Ludger rates himself as a jack-of-no-trade.

'Although that's the case, it would be a problem if I said that I could use all the properties here.'

Among the magicians that existed in the history of the magic tower, the magicians known to handle most of the elements only reached eight.

The witch had the official record number one set in the history of witches.

But Ludger has broken that number one record.

If that was known, the magic tower would probably be overturned once more and be in chaos. If there's a grumpy witch, then they want to dissect Ludger alive.

In fact, Ludger did not find it strange that he could handle all 10 properties of the element.

'Again, my teacher didn't say anything good to me.'

Of course, he was the number one teacher who had the greatest influence on Ludger since he was reborn in this world after his life in the previous world.

He was the one who had taught Ludger magic since childhood, and he also taught him how to live in this world along with giving him tips and other knowledge.

He had chosen Ludger as his student solely because he was unique and attractive, so he only considered Ludger a pet.

Even given that, Ludger was quite grateful to his teacher.

However, he was such a hot-tempered person that he only rated Ludger's source code spell as 'not bad'.

Of course, he is also a teacher who has advised Ludger— who is able to use all of the top 10 elements of— by saying, 'If you go anywhere and flaunt it, you will be hit by a stone'.

So, under his teacher's serious advice and instructions, Ludger never felt arrogant or great, even if he knew how to handle all the top 10 elements.

However, Ludger was objectively aware of the weight of knowing how to use all 10 elements, so he did not tell anyone about it.

So Ludger decided to limit it to the five elements he had shown to the students in his class.

“Fifth that element is everything.”

"Five elements, so... That's very surprising."

"Oh. There is also the question of source code: will you teach source code to all students in the class?"

In the first class, Ludger deliberately showed his source code and caught the attention of the students.

It also doesn't end just as a show off. Ludger actually intended to teach students the source code.

However, he has not properly explained to whom, how much, and when he will teach the source code.

"healthy. Come to think of it, I didn't give you any notice. I will not teach everyone the same thing because this mantra is like a foundation for me. There are conditions to learn it."

"What's the condition?"

"That I will only teach it directly to the top five students."

Flora smiled hearing her answer with interest.

“Five students, yes. It's a bit small. Still, the number of students is 80 people."

"Because the spell has such great value."

“What evaluation? Will I be given an evaluation at the end of the semester? In Soren, students are evaluated by dividing a total of four parts in one semester. It would be difficult to decide because the rankings kept changing for each evaluation."

“I've anticipated that and found a method. This..”

Ludger immediately cast a spell technique on his palm.

It could be considered monotonous as it only consisted of white lines of mana, but the intricate structure it posed made the spell not look ridiculous.

Flora also voiced a hint of admiration for the color she felt in the spell itself.

"That's... part of it, huh? To be exact, it's part of the source code spell you showed us."

"You saw it right."

Ludger nodded.

As Flora had said, the spell technique she displayed was one of the main components of the source code.

"I call it Framework."

"The skeleton….."

"That Source code, the spell I used, consisted of a total of four Frameworks."

"Then are you going to give this Framework to the top 5 people in each quarter of this semester?"

"Yes. The semester is divided into four parts, and I will teach four Frameworks in each part of the semester. In other words, students who could not continue to reach the top five would not be able to learn the right spells."

In the end, if students wanted to be taught the Source Code spell correctly, they would have to take classes in a burning spirit, submit assignments steadily, and do well on exams for a semester.

Realizing that, Flora looked at Ludger with a slightly bewildered look.

"… So you've calculated it carefully."

"Does this solve your curiosity?"

"But can you really show me this?"

"What do you mean?"

"The thought you made... What if I analyze it?"

Flora pointed to the Framework spell that was still floating in Ludger's hands.

No matter how few others saw the spell, there was no way a magician would continue to expose their spell techniques like that.

It was impossible to do unless the magician trusted the person they showed the spell to that extent.

'Oh.'

Ludger realized too late his mistake.

Witches basically did not show others the spell techniques they had developed long ago.

If perhaps they had submitted a paper or patent related to the spell, it would have been a different case, but if one copied the spell technique and insisted that it was theirs, it would be dizzying.

In fact, such cases often occur.

That was the reason why witches really kept their own vision magic a secret.

Ludger realized his mistake, but he decided that it was no big deal.

"No problem."

"I'm sorry?"

"It doesn't matter if you see it."

Especially if the one he showed was Flora Lumos.

Flora Lumos is a genius.

Ludger also didn't know if he was really a genius because he only heard it through rumors, but when he only helped him a little with the three overlapping elements in the class, it was, he realized that the rumor was true when he saw it.

ah -Ah. He'll get first place no matter what he does in my class.

Even if he didn't get first place, he was consistently in the top five, so it wouldn't be a problem if he kept showing him one Framework.

Because he could learn the entire spell of the Source Code.

“M-sorry?!”

But Flora took Ludger's words differently.

His face turned red and he started to stutter suddenly, unlike his usual arrogant behavior.

“Wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-what on earth do you mean by that?!”

"Why are you so confused? I don't think that's wrong. You'll take first place in my class and still get the Framework."

“T-no, well, that's it, but..”.

But it was a cheating game for him to say that.

Flora Lumos replied in a low voice so as not to be heard by Ludger.

It doesn't matter if he shows it to her, she said.

It was like he had given her special treatment.

However, while he was thinking so, he could not stop his pounding heart.

Even though he pretended not to be blunt outside, the corner of his mouth kept slightly raised due to the fact that this man had a good view of him.

"Then I'll go."

When Ludger turned his back, Flora called out to him subconsciously.

"Oh, Professor!"

"What else? Any more questions?"

"No. That, that, is nothing.”

When he looked back at the face of Ludger, who was looking at him with an unshakable gaze, Flora's face flushed red as if it was about to explode.

After hearing such words a moment ago, he couldn't possibly face Ludger.

Just by looking into his eyes, his skin became amused and he goosebumps.

Thats odd. He's never experienced that before.

Ludger looked at Flora with a flat gaze, who felt ashamed of himself and was at a loss for what to do, then immediately turned around and left.

Flora, who kept looking at Ludger’s back that was getting from away with a vacant stare, was finally able to empty again her senses and calm down her exception.

'true. Relax, Flora Lumos. You shouldn't be like this.'

He is always arrogant and confident and easily fools others with his own abilities.

In Ludger's case, although he challenged him on the first day and failed miserably and then lost again this time, his will has not been shattered.

Didn't he decide to surpass her next time?

He shouldn't be that weak.

Flora strengthened her weakened heart.

'Oh, come to think of it, I'll ask her what she was talking about with that ordinary girl earlier, but I forgot.'

Even if he pretended not to show his interest, he was curious as to why Ludger called Lynne separately.
