Disguised As A Teacher In Magic Academy

Chapter 8 - Fake Identity (3)

After meeting with the principal, I followed Mr. Wilford, who was waiting outside, to my residence.

Should I say that it suits the Soeren Academy?

Even the buildings dedicated to the teachers on the ground looked expensive.

I do not believe that my house is a two-story house similar to the one I saw in a fairy tale.

"We still have three weeks until the semester starts, so you can rest until then."

Mr. Wilford headed to his carriage after he said so.

When leaving, he was a figure who did not forget his disciplined attitude, so it can be said as an example of a gentleman.

'Should I go?'

I went home with a suitcase.

I can feel it when I see it from the outside, but it feels very different when I go inside. The furniture was decorated with all sorts of objects, and there was not a single speck of dust, it seemed to be constantly cared for.

When I checked the bathroom just in case, it was amazing.

The bathroom, which was covered with white ceramics, did not seem to be out of the norm for noble use. The hot water came out well, and there was even a tub where I could bubble bath.

It is understandable that this was the world where the Magic Revolution took place.

Thud.

After checking every corner of the house, I plopped down while lying on the cushioned sofa.

'From now on, I am an academy teacher?'

A lot happened that day.

I was accidentally caught up in terrorism, misunderstood as someone else, and even happened to come to the Soeren academy to work as a teacher.

I was amazed by what happened, but since I had gotten that far, I couldn't even escape.

'If I suddenly disappeared now, they would ask about Ludger, and since my true face had been seen, there would be no place for me in the empire.'

It is potentially fatal if my real face has been noticed by the people in this academy, not my disguised face.

In the end, I had no choice but to play Ludger Chelysie.

At that moment

"Gee. It's hard."

It's been 27 years since I came to this world.

I reincarnated in this world without any special abilities and only memories from my past life.

However, the existence of my parents in my life after reincarnation was so dramatic that I had to survive on my own.

At the same time, it was a strange life where I had overcome death several times by engaging in all sorts of incidents.

For me, the situation is just confusing.

I happen to be an academy teacher.

And it was also in the Soeren Academy, the best in the Empire.

I wonder if I can call it 'just happening'.

'This is actually a job where I have to use the identity of others.'

I didn't even do it on purpose, but I got this job by chance.

But I can't stop here either.

It's called 'riding destiny'.

When I go down, I will be eaten by a tiger. That's the situation I'm in.

It was a fight between me that would probably fall and be eaten by tigers and tigers that would probably get tired of me first.

'Yeah, two years. I just had to endure it for two years. Enough.'

I still need a new identity.

Ludger's identity in that situation was alluring.

Ludger Chelysie was a man who traveled to the empire far from his home; he would not meet anyone who knew him there.

Even so, I decided to find out more about Ludger, just in case.

I climbed into the bedroom on the second floor with Ludger's suitcase. When I entered the room, I closed the curtains near the window and looked inside the room carefully to look for any possible external surveillance.

"There's nothing suspicious in this building."

I thought everything was fine, so when I was about to open the suitcase…

Cocktail.

"Hm?"

'What's this? The suitcase's locked.'

I checked the leather suitcase in detail. Looking closely, a subtle magic circle was imprinted on the metal lock.

'This. security magic.'

'As expected of a teacher assigned to the Soeren academy.'

Taking a step away from the suitcase, I wondered what I should do with it.

I didn't give up, but I was looking for a way to open it.

'It would have been easier if I had some items I had already prepared, but I had already delivered my luggage beforehand, so I had to use another method.'

I picked up a medium towel and immediately wet it. After leaving the wet towel by my side, I took out a stick and lit a small fire at the end.

It was 「Pyro」, the basic spell casting of basic magic.

It was only the size of a lighter flame, but the heat was quite large.

I put the fire at the end of the stick into the lock of the suitcase.

Hot heat start heating brass.

A few minutes later, as soon as the brass heated up and turned red, I pushed the wet towel over the brass.

Shhh.

The heated metal cools rapidly with the sound of evaporating water. Immediately after, the key distorted, and the magic circle engraved on it also twisted.

Of course, it did not eliminate the effects of the magic circle.

Magic is not that easy.

'But this is the moment when I can make a crack in a sturdy wall.'

That time too….

I did not miss the brief moment and fired my mana sharply through the center of the magic circle.

It was an important part of the magic circle. What I do can be called 'hacking'.

Whooshing sound!

'I did it.'

The moment I broke it, the magic-circle effect disappeared.

At the same time, the key is opened with a single click.

"It's easy to open this."

It was not uncommon for someone to implant a magic circle or barrier on a suitcase.

Most magicians are very sensitive to security, so security magic is close to basic knowledge.

If they could not do so, they would even ask acquaintances or companies they knew to print magic circles professionally for them.

If you try to forcefully remove the security magic in such a case, a spell will be invoked to remove its contents.

It was a manifestation of an extreme ideology that was characteristic of witches that they would get rid of their belongings before revealing them to others.

However, in order to safely lift the security magic, it was necessary to analyze how the incantation was applied. Of course, the process was very long, and I couldn't afford it because I was in a hurry.

So I chose to do that method.

It was a method similar to a cheating trick that did not require me to analyze the incantation.

'Enough to know where the magic was carved and what it was made of.'

Normally, strong metal was the main material on which magic circles were carved. No one could carve magic circles all over their leather bags.

The skin is very inefficient as a medium of magic power transmission.

It is the same for clothes and paper. Unless the parchment is made by peeling the magic bark, it is impossible to carve magic circles or barriers on clothing or paper unless you are at least an archmage with a rank of 6 or higher.

Instead, it was a metal that had a good conductivity of magic power.

The most popular metals for it are iron and brass; better materials than that are silver, gold, and platinum.

The best material is jewelry made from gemstones, but the material itself is so expensive that it is not used unless you are from a high-ranking noble.

Obviously, cheap iron or brass is the most commonly used, and I am very familiar with the methods of attacking both materials.

It was a method of heating and widening the metal engraved with magic circles and then quickly cooling it with cold water to shrink it again.

The magic circle carved on the metal would deviate and rotate during the expansion and contraction of the metal.

Even after the deviation, the magic circle would recover automatically as if it was no big deal.

But the gap that existed at that time was a very fatal deficiency.

At that moment, I shot out the mana sharply, destroying and undoing the magic circle core technique.

"I'm glad it worked."

Well, it's not a commonly known method it's just a hoax created by applying science appropriately.

Most witches are people who are fixated on history and tradition, so they often underestimate science.

As a result, they usually do not prepare such a method, and that is what I want.

'If he were truly insane, he would carry an iron suitcase filled with magic circles.'

Fortunately, Ludger Chelysie did not go that far.

I opened the suitcase and checked the contents.

'Hm, this...'
