Disguised As A Teacher In Magic Academy

Chapter 61 - Anti-Magic (2)

Chris thought that something destined was finally coming.

He's been betting with Ludger.

They have decided who will win the contest among their students and stated that the loser will give one of their magic research papers to the winner for free.

It was Chris himself, and not anyone else, who suggested it first.

He had stated that he would bet in front of many students, so he could not even make excuses and say no.

Chris tried to say something, and he glared at Ludger sharply.

"You... Did you already know that an ordinary disciple is the owner of Anti-Magic?"

"Yes you're right."

Chris bellowed furiously at the reply Ludger gave as if it was too obvious.

"Are you making this bet even after you figure it out ?!"

"Hm. I don't understand why Professor Chris is so angry."

"What empty omong…"

"So you didn't know that Aidan was the owner of Anti-Magic?"

“…”

Chris became tongue-tied to his words.

As Ludger said.

He does not know that Aidan is the owner of Anti-Magic.

Yep. He didn't know it, and that was why he allowed the duel.

"I heard that Professor Chris was in charge of the first year, but didn't you check out the first year of the Academy this time around?"

“…”

"Most importantly, Aidan had never used Anti-Magic throughout a duel. Did his Anti-Magic mastery affect the outcome of the duel?"

Kris closed his mouth.

As Ludger said, Chris was in no position to argue about the match.

He may know it, but he is the one who does not want to know it.

He did not pay attention to them because they were ordinary people and because they were insignificant children. He didn't think paying attention to them was necessary.

The narrow way of thinking he usually did finally turned around and flew towards him like a boomerang.

Who should he blame for that?

Was it Ludger, who knew it but did not tell him?

Is that Aidan, who studied Anti-Magic as an ordinary person?

No. gabe.

He's the wrong one anyway.

He had not even prepared anything thoroughly and had mistakenly thought that he would definitely win without thinking about gathering information first.

His arrogance was the cause of his defeat.

"If you had thoroughly examined what specialties the students had, events like today would not have happened."

“…”

Chris simply chewed his lips without being able to answer anything.

Yep. It was clearly his fault for not being aware of the Anti-Magic that Aidan had.

But what further hurt his pride was that the outcome of the duel was not determined by Anti-Magic.

Aidan did not even use his Anti-Magic in the duel.

He only knocked down Jevan using only what he had mastered and learned since coming to Soeren.

There was no way he could come up with words like 'cowardly' or 'cheat games'.

The moment he said those words, he would completely lose.

Looking at Chris, who was trembling and speechless, Ludger took his luck.

"I remember you telling me to use a magic academic paper as a bet price."

"…I did. All right, what can I give you?"

"No."

Chris was confused by his words.

"Now, what the fuck is this...?"

"I'm not gonna take anything."

"She.. hal? Why suddenly…?"

"Not suddenly. I'll say this from the beginning."

Chris was unable to understand his actions when he heard Ludger's words.

No. gabe. He completely understood it, but it was more like he was trying to deny reality.

"Mijacking other people's teaching materials is cheap as a betting price."

At the end of his sentence, Ludger turned around and left.

—Like he had no intention of continuing the conversation with Chris.

Kris was stunned to see the sight.

'Cheap, say?'

He is not too upset when he is ignored by Ludger or when he loses a bet.

But after Ludger wins the bet and says that the bet itself is cheap not even take anything away from it…

Chris went beyond feeling irritated and even felt sadness.

The man was like a mirror.The mirror of the heart reflected his ugly side very clearly.

The more Chris glared at him with growing hostility and hatred, the more he felt fed up with his own appearance Ludger had shown him.

'I... Chris Benimore... Cheap?'

Chris bit his lip; a stream of blood flowed in his mouth.

He didn't even think of wiping it, he just stared at Ludger's back with red eyes.

'Ludger Chelysie's...'

How much more did he have to trample on Ludger's self-esteem to dissipate his anger?

He can't forgive her. That's not acceptable.

Next time, he would definitely avenge Ludger with double the amount of humiliation he experienced.

"Professor Chris."

Hugo approached and called out to him, but Chris did not respond.

Not wanting to show his ugly appearance to anyone back then, he hurriedly left his seat.

Hugo changed his face upon seeing her, and he had no choice but to stifle his irritation upon seeing the headmaster, who was smiling gently.

It would be remembered as a very embarrassing day for the aristocracy.

'Ludger Chelysie's...'

He thought of the man who was the cause behind it all.

Hugo Bourtag gritted his teeth in silence.

Aidan, who was intoxicated to victory with his friends, suddenly remembered the promise he had made with Jevan.

His gaze drifted towards Jevan who was standing from his place.

The three people looked at each other, then nodded and walked over to Jevan.

"What?"

Jevan looked at Aidan and his friends who came towards him and spoke in a weak voice.

"Is there anything left for you to laugh at me?"

"Jevan, you didn't forget the promise you made before the duel, did you?"

The word 'promise' made Jevan's face wrinkled badly.

He could not think about it because he could not escape the shock of defeat.

"Jevan Felio, you should respectfully apologize to my friends here now for saying rude things to them."

"How dare you.. You tell me to apologize, now?"

"You who bet and participated in the duel, Jevan, I only told you to keep your promise. Hurry up and apologize. With respect."

“…”

Jevan clenched his fists, but that was it.

He was completely defeated by Aidan; even his sudden attack had failed.

It was not a mere defeat, it was a bad defeat after he desperately tried to win.

There was nowhere left for him to stand in Soeren.

Jevan was crying in frustration.

"Damn. All because of you! Because of you, I—!"

"Jevan."

"Shut up! Don't call my name! If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have suffered this ugly appearance in front of everyone! Yep! It's all your fault!"

“…”

Tessie was about to step up, full of anger, when she saw Jevan speaking in a state of panic.

But Aidan raised his hand to stop him.

"Maidan's... Why?"

Aidan realized something when he saw the action that Jevan showed.

Two people quarrel because they do not understand each other, and he believes that the story will be different if they understand each other.

He thought that people could get to know each other while conversing with each other, and then they could get closer to each other afterwards.

But Aidan still could not forget Jevan's face that was filled with killing intent.

Jevan's expression swung his mind.

Meanwhile, jevan yelled even more desperately.

"Damn it! Motherfucker! Since you are filthy commoners, I can't even stay in Soren anymore! The Felio family can't lift our heads anywhere in the future! Because you! Because you all are!"

Jevan has already wiped his dirty play and cowardly actions from his memory.

He simply did not understand why he had to go through this to the point that he felt annoyed and deceived by it.

"Why?! Why would a person like you have that ability?! Why don't I have it?!"

"Jevan."

"Damn. God fucking. I just... want to improve my family's reputation!"

Jevan lowered his head and shouted.

He would not stop, even if he knew the method he used was wrong, because he had that goal as his goal.

Aidan was about to say something while looking at Jevan, but he kept his mouth shut

Under those circumstances, it was difficult for them to continue a decent conversation let alone him receiving an apology from Jevan.

Even Tessie, who usually gets angry when telling people to act properly, becomes disinclined at the sight of Jevan's devastated state.

He also felt something tight in his chest when he saw Jevan doing it to lift his family's degree.

'Maybe I. It could be like that too.'

He shuddered in fear at such thoughts.

At that moment, a cold voice sounded between them.

"What are you doing here? The duel is over."

"Professor Ludger..."

Ludger, who was dressed all in black, had a strange atmosphere that they could not resist.

He looked at Aidan and his friends, then looked coldly at Jevan, who was sobbing and collapsing in place.

"Jevan Felio, what are you doing, showing an unsightly appearance after you lost a duel?"

“…”

“It is not enough for you to lose a fight, you do not accept your defeat and even try a bad surprise attack. What's so unfair about it that makes you cry? Do you deserve to cry now?"

"Professor Ludger."

No matter how bad Jevan's behavior was, Aidan thought Ludger's words were too harsh, so he stepped up, but Ludger did not stop.

"You're petty, so. You're so petty. Your current appearance is much worse than the ordinary people you have always hated and despised."

"…What do you know?!"

In the end, Jevan who could not help Ludger's words stood up from his place and glared at Ludger.

"What...what do you know about what I feel ?!"

"Do I have to know?"

"… A-what?"

"Do I really need to know?"

"You, you…!"

Jevan was about to shout something, but when he saw Ludger's eyes, he swallowed back his words.

His burning anger quickly exploded, and fear dominated his emotions.

—Ludger's eyes, and a cold gaze directed at him.

It was like having a nightmare in the dark.

"You fight, and you lose the bet. It's all your own fault that you don't even accept your defeat and pass out. But after that, you want others to understand how you feel. Why should we know how you feel? "

"That-that's…"

"You think this place is still your home? Do I look like a babysitter listening to you complain?"

"Me, me..."

"You're a real bad boy who can't even take care of himself, and now you're yelling your anger like a baby bird. You, who have no idea how embarrassing your actions are, have been disqualified as a witch." . Nobles and witches, my ass."

Jevan could not keep his mind as he listened to Ludger's almost rude words that were unlike his usual self.

"Me, me..."

"Silent. I don't even want to listen to your reasons. I'll refer you to the disciplinary committee for your behavior that I saw just a moment ago, so get out of my sight right now."

At Ludger's warning, which was almost menacing, Jevan, whose face had turned pale, stepped back with trembling steps and then left the stadium.

The three musketeers, who were watching the scene in silence from start to finish, all had the same thought.

'He really served Jevan, but isn't that overkill?'

Aidan's expression was not good.

"Aidan."

"Yes, Professor."

"You have practiced the Maneuvering Technique correctly. Good job."

"It's all thanks to you, Professor."

"But you don't look happy to win the duel, so."

"That's..."

Aidan did not understand why his mood was so low.

Obviously, he won the duel in front of everyone in a cool way. He couldn't help but agree if someone said he should be happy about it.

Probably because of Jevan's screams afterwards.

"I. .. don't really know why."

"You don't really know, do you?"

"I was obviously happy at first. Jevan humiliated my friends and started fighting with me. I'm sure my intention to beat Jevan remains unchanged. But. the problem after that."

"Have you just been affected by Jevan's whining?"

"I really don't need to listen to his words. Yeah, that's enough if I ignore it, but I can't do that."

Aidan showed a bitter smile and spoke frankly.

Ludger looked at Aidan in silence.

He already knew that Aidan was too godly and had truth values from before, but he did not know that Aidan would have such a weak heart.

He even sympathized with Jevan who had been ignoring and looking down on him.

But if someone asked Ludger if it was a bad performance, he would answer no.

Aidan is young and a student studying in a shining world named Soren.

Because he's still a student and he's young…

That's very possible. Its alright. Ludger couldn't blame him while saying that Aidan was stupid and that frustrated him.

—Because that's how he looks at the world.

"Maidan..."

"Yes. Professor."

"When you live in this world, one day you will meet different types of people."

"I'm sorry?"

"Remember. It means not everyone is like you. Someone will hate you, dislike you, and be hostile to you. In the end, it will be like that because your world and the world of others are different ."

"…Is that so?"

"But it changes depending on how people behave."

Aidan, Tessie, and Leo looked at Ludger as they were slightly surprised by those words.

"It's not a bad thing to take care of your own things. And your actions that sacrifice everything are not stupid either. But in the end, all you need to live in this world is moderation."

"Moderation…"

"Only half of them. Aidan's. You can choose half of selfishness and selflessness. If I give half of it to someone instead of taking half of them, then there will be a day when we both understand each other."

Aidan looked back at Tessie at Ludger's words.

She clearly remembered that the first time she met him was not so good.

Tessie is like a rose full of thorns.

But at some point, the two became close and often gathered together.

"I didn't tell you not to give up and not to consider others because it seems impossible for you. That's why I'm saying this. It's okay not to fully consider others, but it's okay for you to be at least half selfish."

Half of…

Aidan felt anxious, as he caught something from those words.

"I talk too much. I'm going to go now."

"Eh, Professor Ludger!"

"What?"

"That word I will remember."

Looking back at Aidan, who replied with a face full of determination, Ludger left the stadium with a light nod.

The three quietly stared at Ludger's back until he disappeared.
