Disguised As A Teacher In Magic Academy

Chapter 62 - James Moriarty (1)

Walking alone in the dark hallway of the stadium, someone pulled his head out of the corner as if he had been waiting.

"First, no, Professor Ludger."

“Sedina, right?”

Sedina Rochen, who has voluminous brown hair. He brightened his face as he looked at Ludger, as he waited for him.

After looking around for a while and checking if there was anyone else, he opened his mouth when he thought it was okay to talk.

"Happy for winning the bet."

"Yes." Yeah."

"More than that, are you okay? Maybe you got too much attention from within the Academy because of this incident. The other members were worried as well."

The part that Sedina was worried about was that.

Ludger is hiding in Soren with a false identity.

However, his recent movements have attracted too much attention in Soeren.

In that case, no matter what he did, their eyes would follow him, which would significantly annoy him in his long-term plans.

Ludger shook his head in his concern.

"No problem. I prepare myself for a time like this."

“You prepare yourself..”.

“Sedina, do you know anything about Principal Soren?”

Sedina immediately nodded when the name of the headmaster came out.

"Yes. Her name is Elisa Willow. She was a famous magician who reached the 6th rank of the Lexure class at a young age. He is now the principal of the school of Soren. She's a woman who can never let you off guard."

"Yes. He is currently suspecting me.”

"You mean... Professor Ludger?"

“The head of the school knows that our people are hiding in Soeren. Maybe I am now included in the list of suspects, even though I am a professor.”

"That's…"

“I have to get rid of her suspicions now. Therefore, it is impossible for me to contact the other members, but what can I do."

“But you came here as Professor so you are not too suspicious.”.

"After all, it's something I have to do. It's a lucrative deal if I get reliability from Soren through this incident, but we need a little more time to do it."

“As expected, it is. I believe you!"

Sedina, who had been completely blinded by Ludger, believed Ludger's words without question.

Actually, it's not entirely a lie either.

Ludger's behavior that distinguished him in Soren was based on his intention to look good in the presence of the principal.

However, for Sedina, there was some concern that Ludger might receive too much attention.

In fact, when he secretly listened to the other members, there was even talk that said that Ludger was First Order but he had nothing to do until it became strange.

'Yes! As expected, there is no way Professor Ludger is like that!'

He believed in Ludger, and he also wanted to believe in him in the future.

This is the first time…

Someone listened to him very well.

Having suspicion of such a person alone feels like committing a crime that cannot be eliminated.

“Sedina. The same goes for you. Do your best as a student now, because you are now a student in Soeren."

"Is ... is that so?"

"Yes. You are the only one among the other members who can be easily contacted because I am a Professor, and you are a student. They won't doubt us just because we met and talked, but I can't carelessly meet students who have no real business with me."

“Sure... of course.”

"You have to make yourself stand out as an exemplary student. The more you do that, the more suspicion from others will subside."

"I understand!"

"Yes. In other words, it is a mission only for the two of us to fully adjust to our own identities in our own positions. Do you understand?"

“A mission.... only for the two of us.”.

Sedina's eyes became empty when Ludger used the word 'we'.

Looking at his expression, Ludger thought it was luck.

'If I explain it so far, he'll understand well, right?'

He has worked hard because he is engrossed in his work as a professor of Soeren. However, Ludger never ignored the existence of the Black Dawn Society even for a moment.

In their eyes, he was nominally an executive who held the title of First Order in the Black Dawn Society.

The problem is that Ludger doesn't yet know what to do as an executive after he infiltrated Soren.

What he learned from the interpretation of the cipher was that he infiltrated the Soren and got their help.

And after that…?

Have their initial plans been decided, or will new orders be issued in the future according to the next situation?

Ludger doesn't know that.

But he couldn't even ask Sedina. How could he know for what mission an executive came?

'In the end, I have to find out for myself.'

Most likely he was ordered directly by the Zero Order, or another First Order shared the work with him together.

The way to find out right away was that he had to find another First Order that had infiltrated Soren.

However, in a situation where he was unable to find another First Order, Ludger had to work to the fullest extent possible while dispelling the suspicions of the Black Dawn Society.

That's why he deliberately moved more excitedly as a Professor.

'It's true that the principal suspects me, and it's true that I need time to clear his suspicions. Using that as an excuse, I can at least dampen the growing dissatisfaction from the secret society.'

And it is also possible to extend the deadline given under this pretext.

In fact, despite just explaining it like that, Sedina seemed to be instantly convinced.

'No. Couldn't he be a fair example since he highly praised the First Order?'

But it's okay.

If Sedina could come forward and explain it to the other members, not him, it would be easier for Ludger.

In fact, Sedina was already full of such thoughts.

'As expected, Professor Ludger! We were worried that something happened to him, it turned out that he had planned it from the beginning!'

Sedina's social status has led to similar bullying within the organization, but recently, the other members stopped upsetting her because she had acted as if she was Ludger's full-time subordinate.

It made Sedina respect Ludger even more, thinking that it was also a blessing.

'He was even worried about someone like me and gave me such advice! He's really great!'

As Ludger said, Sedina decided to obey orders even after she died.

"Explain well to others."

"Yes! Leave it to me!”

"A hand…"

"Yes! Do you have anything else to tell me?

"…no. Never mind. I'll call again. And it's good to see you more confident than ever."

Ludger's final praise gave Sedina a tingling and electric shock all over her body.

"Yes! I will do it even if I have to die!”

"Don't die."

"Yes! I would never die even if I had to die!”

"…Yes. Anything." anything."

Ludger leaves Sedina, who becomes more and more burdensome each time he sees her.

***

Returning to my private accommodation, I entered the room and briefly summarized what I should do.

'First of all, through this open duel, I have extensively developed the image of being a faction of principals. I don't know how the principal will take it, but he has his own circumstances, so it will be difficult for him to expel me.'

For now, the headmaster faction seemed to be more dominant, but the noble faction led by Hugo also could not be looked down upon.

No matter what people said, the greatest power among the students was the power of Freuden, who had gathered the noble students.

The aristocratic professors, including Hugo, had joined hands with Freuden.

The principal's power seemed powerful, but if they were to oppose the principal's will properly, it would be difficult for the principal to decide things carelessly.

'And thanks to the fact that I caught the attention of the principal, I got the justification that, even though I was an executive of the Black Dawn Society, I still could not move in a hurry. The other members of the secret society also did not want to contact me carelessly.'

In other words, I got an exception from doing anything at the Black Dawn Society for a period of time.

'So let's postpone the Black Dawn Society for now.'

'As expected, is the Soren party the most important?'

With that open duel, I am completely hostile towards the Hugo faction.

But I don't really care about that part.

I will stop after two years. Being obnoxious to aristocratic teachers would not cause me any major problems.

They would mess with me a little unpleasant, but it was just on a funny level compared to all the groups of people I've experienced all my life.

Most importantly, I saw some sort of possibility through the duel that day.

'Aidan, I've felt it before, but he must be a good man. He has common sense, a moderate good side, and he's hardworking.'

It was amazing that he had learned the Moving Magus in three days, even though I had taught him a little intensively.

Was it his talent, or was it more like a persistent effort?

Considering that a magician cannot fully master the Moving Magus just because they are good at using their heads, he might be born with the ability to use his body as well.

His movements as he cut magic using Anti Magic…

It was definitely a show that could be seen from someone who had practiced with a sword before.

Considering that, Aidan would most likely stand out in the real battle.

'Indeed. That was understandable, considering who his teacher was.'

That can be deduced because I once met a magician whom I assumed was Aidan's teacher, I was actually pretty sure about that.

The posture of Aidan's body that he showed once was exactly the same as the textbook example of swordsmanship that was usually used by the person I was thinking of.

I thought that he would live alone all his life and die without anyone knowing about him, but it turned out that he had obtained a disciple.

'If Aidan were the owner of Anti-Magic, at least he would rise to a fairly high position in Soeren.'

I finished a simple calculation in my head.

'I will use Soren and some special students to fight the secret society of Black Dawn.'

When I was sandwiched between the two with one foot on either side, the last thing I needed was to increase the pressure that was weighing on me.

The thing that bothered me the most was the Black Dawn Society.

If I reduce the strength of the members of the public in the Academy by squeezing out their strength little by little…

'I'm sure my chances of survival will be much higher.'

Aidan, Leo, and Tessie.The abilities of the three shooters are objectively worthy of evaluation.

If I look at the talent they have, it could be the best among the first years.

If I add Lynne, who has the Eye of Judgment, to the group.

"It won't be bad."

Of course, that might not be enough, so it seems like I need to find more others for reassurance, just in case.

If I make them collide with each other, I will be able to get out of the dead end.

'That's all I have to do for the 'let the barbarians fight amongst themselves' method'. I have to build strength on my side as well.'

My situation is under pressure from both organizations and I, as an individual, will be devastated.

Weakening both groups alone cannot be a fundamental solution to the situation.

So what's the method?

'I also have to create my own organization.'

In fact, I prefer to move on my own.

But as long as I have to stay in Empire, I can no longer play solo.

I need more people.

Besides Hans, I need to call the people I came into contact with earlier and create a new organization.

That organization will be my strength, and that power will make me able to resist the forces that oppress me.

'Talk about the Devil, and he will definitely appear, they said.'

I was just thinking about it, and the crystal ball I left in my room started to sparkle.

The fact that the marbles for personal communication I handed over to Hans rang.

“Hans. What's problem?"

[I checked everything around the area according to your order.]

Is it because of that?

"Considering your skills, you will have as much information as I have. However, since you contacted me separately, it seems like you need strength."

[. You are very fast in catching it. You're correct. From now on, I need 'armed forces'. You know that too, don't you? That I'm not good at fighting.]

"I didn't expect anything from you in that department from the first time."

[By the way, I need your help now.]

"I understand."

That's not a bad time.

I got up from my seat, wore a black long coat for outdoor use, and wore a men's hat on my head.

[So when are you coming? I think we have to deal with it no later than the end of the week.]

"I'll come now."

[Sorry?]

Since he did not know that I would say I was leaving right then and there, I heard a confused exclamation from outside the crystal ball.

"Don't you think it's better to handle it fast?"

[That's how it is, but.. Will you be okay? But you are very busy.]

"It's gonna be over soon anyway."

[How are you so sure about that?]

"Because I'm gonna make it that way."
