Academy’s Undercover Professor Chapter 243

C243: Rhapsody on a Rainy Day (2)

Do you have any business with ?

Despite Rudgers lack of emotion, subtle hostility was revealed in his voice. To that extent, the person in front of him could not be considered good.

The Holy Land of Bretus was the headquarters of those who branded him, denied his existence, and tried to kill them. Above all, the Lunsis order is a group of fanatics who extol only the Lord Lunsis.

They didnt do that in the past, but now they are left with only pure obsession and madness and committed a myriad of atrocities in the na of faith.

Its a coincidence that I t such a famous teacher. My na is Freden, a lamb who believes in the Lord Lunsis. Its humble, but I serve as the parish chief of Leathervelk.

Freden, the parish chief of the Leathervelk church, had a familiar religious figure that could be seen everywhere. From a gracious smile to a figure that is not at all daunting.

She looked like the kind lady next door that could be trusted but Rudger knew that this was a mask made to deceive others.

Her voice, tone, and every little action are impeccable therefore it was artificial and even unpleasant.

Mr. Rudger Chelici, right? I wanted to see you once.

You havent answered my question yet.

A cold voice ca out from Rudgers mouth, freezing even the rain but Freden bowed her head without changing her smile.

Ive said too much, right? Forgive .

I didnt say that because I wanted to apologize. Just explain the purpose of coming to properly.

Fredens appearance was a coincidence, but Rudger knew that shes been hiding and watching him for a while.

Yes, I see. I ca to see Mr. Rudger Chelici because I wanted to see if youre the sa as the rumors say.

Thats why you waited for on a rainy day?

Rain is the grace of Lunsis, who makes crops grow abundantly. Theres no reason to hate it. Im even feeling grateful.

Too much rain makes the roots of plants rot and the rivers overflow. Do you feel grateful for that?

If grace does harm, it is also his will.

Rudger did not contradict Fredens words. He didnt even feel it was worth refuting.

Mr. Rudger doesnt seem very pleased with .

No one welcos surprise guests. Not to ntion that you are a mber of the Church of Lunsis.

Hmm. Thats strange. We, the Church of Lunsis, should have had no contact with Mr. Rudger Chelici.

Now you had contact and its very unpleasant.

You dont have to be so wary.

In the first place, the church that defines magic itself as a heresy, isnt it very suspicious to visit a mage?

At Rudgers words, Freden smiled, covering her mouth with her hand.

Hoho. Did I look like that? It may have been like that in the old days, but our teaching has changed. Now wizards are the children of the wise Lunsis.

You talk too much.

Rudger cut off Fredens words.

State your requirents. I dont feel like talking to anyone right now.

.

Seeing that, Freden let out a small sigh. She realized that no matter what she said, Rudger would not take it favorably.

All right. First of all, the reason I ca to Mr. Rudger Chelici is out of curiosity, but also to make a suggestion.

What do you an?

Please dont be surprised and listen. Others may not feel it, but I can see that you were blessed by God.

Rudger closed his eyes for a mont, then opened them. His eyes, still cold, tried to read if Freden was serious about what she said.

What do you an by that?

Holy power flowing out of Mr. Rudger. Its definitely proof that youve been blessed by God. It is a loss to the whole world to rot that talent elsewhere. So

Are you asking to join the Lunsis Order?

Yes, exactly.

I was wondering what you were going to say, but its simply not worth listening to. Ill pretend I didnt hear what you just said.

Despite Rudgers cold answer, Freden refused to give up.

Although others couldnt see it she could see the energy flowing from Rudgers body. It would definitely bless the world if it was used in a good direction, but on the contrary, it was a force that would be a disaster for the world if it was used in the wrong direction.

Im not saying this lightly. I really think of Mr. Rudger.

If you think of .

Rudger glared at Freden.

You shouldnt have co.

Freden was at a loss for words due to his intense hostility toward her.

She raised her hands and prayed.

Ah, God. Give this lamb the right light.

It wasnt that Rudger didnt hear the murmur, but he didnt bother to point it out. No matter what he says here, she will only get more annoying.

Before I leave, Ill let you know one thing.

.

Theres been a lot going on in Leathervelk lately. After the resurrection of the Devil King, there was a hideous flush outside the city today. I hope you dont get hurt.

Freden was genuinely concerned but Rudger laughed at her words.

Ill be on my way. Have a good ti.

Freden left with another prayer.

Rudger stared at Freden and turned his head. He stared at the night view of Leathervelk under the umbrella. With the gradually thickening rain, fog began to rise throughout Leathervelk.

The clear sound of the falling raindrops hitting the umbrella was like a rhapsody.

Its a bother.

But even that static beauty did not impress Rudger much.

If it hadnt been for the eting a while ago, he would have been alone in lingering emotions, but what Freden said was on his mind.

Is the power of God, which had been suppressed before, now visible to the parish leader?

Freden said he had a divine energy blessed by God. The parish chief, who is much higher in position and more capable than an ordinary priest, said such a thing so it was not a lie.

Perhaps if this was the reason for her approach, Rudger could not help but understand.

I didnt get caught by anyone before.

Since he maintained the seal, Rudger has not been pursued by the Lunsis Order, and he has not been caught even when he t the Lunsis Order while wandering around the world but today Freden, the parish chief, saw the energy flowing out of Rudger.

That ant that the force he had been suppressing began to flow out.

The cause its the frequent use of Gods power in recent tis.

He thought he did a thorough calculation when he used the power of God but the result was different from what he thought.

Seeing that she withdrew for the ti being, she must still feel ambiguous about it.

If Freden had really known Rudgers power, she would have tried to persuade him even if her eyes were turned upside down.

No, she may have guessed Rudgers identity. Since she is a parish chief, she mightve heard sothing from the ho country.

Is it ti to seal it again?

That the power of God cannot be completely ruled out in the events he will face in the future.

Moreover, the Church of Lunsis has begun to move in earnest. Now that theyve opened the door that was closed for so long theyre starting to influence the outside world and are probably all over the place.

The process of succession to determine the next king has finally co to an end after a long period of ti.

Sooner or later, the world will be noisy about the rise of the new king.

Since he had to deal with the Black Dawn Society, the moves of the Holy Land of Bretus were not a good thing for Rudger. Even if he tried to ignore them, Rudgers birth will soday co back to haunt him.

He could flee again by sealing the power of God and hiding his identity but he would just delay the inevitable.

In the end, I have to speed up, too.

In order to do so, he had no choice but to collect the Relic fragnts.

The next target is the Relic fragnt in the imperial family. Ill have to pack for the trip.

* * *

Ugh, its annoying.

Back at her accommodation, Casey Selmore flopped onto the bed.

From the standpoint of being held in detention until just before, today was the worst but it would have been more terrible if she hadnt known the officers.

When she turned her head slightly while lying on the bed, she saw water droplets flowing outside the window.

It was raining outside.

Co to think of it, it rained when I first ca to this city.

Casey choked up when she rembered her purpose for coming to Leathervelk.

Co to think of it, its all because of that person that today beca like this, right?

In fact, Rudger did nothing, but for Casey, Rudger had already established his image as the source of all evil.

Casey took a piece of paper out of her pocket.

Tainted with Rudgers magic, it was the only key to his past.

Even now.

It was a mont when she thought that she should watch.

Tap, tap.

The sound from the window raised Caseys upper body from the bed. When she looked, she saw that a crow was knocking on the window with its beak.

Crow?

The crow had a letter in his mouth, and when he saw Casey saw him, he left it on the window fra and flew away.

Casey opened the window and picked up the letter. It was a little wet, but it didnt matter.

When she gently created a spell, the water that perated the letter turned into a drop and escaped outside.

This is

As soon as I saw the crow, Casey naturally thought of a man.

Jas Moriarty. Whats his trick this ti?

Casey opened the letter and examined the contents. Contrary to what she thought that there would be quite a lot of writing, the words inside were monotonous.

Be careful.

Straight and neat letters as if they were printed by a typewriter. However, Casey, who realized the aning of the letter, unwittingly raised her alertness to the limit.

Be careful?

There may be no particular reason why Rudger sent the letter but Caseys instinct recognized that the warning was sincere, and that it was a blatant representation of her situation now.

Caseys eyes looked inside her room. Her own dizzy but quiet space, full of her own things. No one questioned the natural interior appearance that was no different from usual.

never minded. What am I thinking?

Casey shook her head and roughly threw the letter in her hand into the trash.

Then a white blade popped out of her chest. It was a surprise attack from a black shadow that fell from the ceiling.

What?

Casey saw the blade of the sword that broke through her chest but she smiled.

Soon, Caseys figure turned into water and disappeared as if it were torn down.

What?

The assassin couldnt hide his surprise when he saw a person suddenly turning into water.

At that mont, Caseys voice ca from the air.

Why are you surprised? Did you think I didnt know?

From the mont Casey entered her room, she knew that was hiding inside. However, the analysis and reasoning close to Caseys superpower did not miss even a clue to a very subtle change.

I purposely created an opening with her water clone just in case, but she didnt expect soone would kill it.

A surprise like this when he just sent a warning letter.

Casey, who was hiding by distorting light with a thin film of water, laughed at the assassins.

She could roughly guess who instigated this kind of thing.

Youve had bad luck.

The hidden assassins appeared at once on the ceiling, on the floor and over the curtain. Their movents were silent and stealthy just like beasts.

They threw daggers at Casey, but Caseys expression didnt change.

Well, today its a rainy day.
