Academy’s Undercover Professor Chapter 70

After Flora left, Rudger recalled the conversation he had just had with her.

I asked how she found , but it was because of the sll.

Flora Lumos was born with her constitution to feel magic in a different way. When she sees the sa magic, she sees different colors and feels different slls.

I was skeptical about her at first, but her reaction to Kleins disease convinced .

There was a loophole in my Ater Nocturnus.

It was not possible to avoid everyones gaze by simply erasing my existence. Flora felt the very subtle magical reverberation that flowed in the magic water and found him.

She perceives magic through her senses of sll and sight. Indeed, there must have been a reason for being number 1 in the 2nd year. Its understandable that she made fun of several teachers so far.

If so, what to do next?

From Floras reaction, it was as if she had not seen what Rudger had done in the Silent Forest that day. She had a slightly suspicious gaze, but there was no solid evidence.

The opponent is a daughter of the duke family that the Empire is proud of. If I touch her, it will be troubleso.

Still, the academy is buzzing thanks to the recent events, and I cant do anything over the top. However, it seed necessary to keep an eye on Flora more closely than usual.

Ill let Hans do the background check. Even so, Im sure Ill find soone with that kind of constitution in Theon.

After all, this is the best academy that teaches magic. Both teachers and students are extraordinary people. Even those whom I have seen so far were only a small fraction of this academy.

Do I have to live in a place like this for 2 years?

Its been a while since Ive worked here, and two big incidents have already occurred. How many more will it happen?

It was then that I felt a presence in front of the door.

Co in. The door is open.

As Rudger said that, he felt a shudder through the door, and then the door opened cautiously. A girl with dense facial features, clear blue eyes and gray hair that is hard to find in Theon poked her face through the half-open door.

Is it Rene?

Yes.

What did you co here for?

The bookI finished it.

Book..

Rudger recalled that he had handed Rene a book about non-attribute magic. With only her face sticking out, Rene entered the office with her careful steps. She looked as if she couldnt make the slightest mistake.

I thought I should give it back to teacher.

You an that?

Yes, Mr. Rudger.

Rudger shook his head and said.

The book is not mine. I, too, am only giving further what I have received.

Then this book.

Keep that book with you.

Yes?

You may have read it many tis, but you will always need it. Sotis you wont rember parts of it so its better to have it just in case.

Still.

So things show their value only when they have a suitable user. The book about non-attribute magic will shine more when you have it than if it is in my hands.

Rudger took a mont to catch his breath and took off the rimless glasses he wore on his face.

I believe that you will take good care of it.

.

Rene couldnt say anything because Rudgers words cluttered her head.

Do you believe in ?

Rene was dizzy as Rudgers words kept echoing in her head.

Why do you believe? Do you have a good reason for that? Or is it simply because I am the owner of non-attribute magic?

She suddenly had a thought.

Rudger knew the previous owner of this book. If so, did he hear sothing from him?

I.

What?

That, so.

Rene couldnt help but ask. Even when she opened her mouth, only unlisted languages co out. It was because of Rudgers outspoken words that her head was not spinning properly.

If you have nothing to say, just leave. Classes are starting soon.

Yes.

In the end, Rene gave up and was forced to leave the office. She walked down the hallway with staggering footsteps as her head was still a ss.

* * *

Oh right.

It was only after she wandered aimlessly and reached her sparse garden that Rene finally regained her sanity.

I was going to ask about the assistant position as well.

She was so embarrassed and out of context that she didnt even think of asking.

By the way, it seems that senior Flora also ca to see Mr. Rudger. Did she co here for Mr. Rudgers assistant position too?

As a senior in the second year who holds the title of genius, which is rare in Theon Flora Lumos was pretty popular even among the freshn.

Although she cos from a great family, she does not belong to a faction unlike other nobles and stays with her childhood friend.

No. Lets stop paying attention for now. I have to start preparing for the next class at the library during the rest of the ti.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a conversation coming from over the trees in the garden.

Uh?

Rene had no choice but to stop her steps when she saw the students who had finally appeared. They were students from aristocratic families that stood out even from afar. Also, she doesnt get along well with them as usual.

Ah.

Among them there was a man who left a great impression on Rene when he approached her and wanted to date her as if he was doing her a favor. In the end, Rene relentlessly pushed him away, and naturally he began to harbor a grudge against Rene.

I really hate it.

In addition to that, a group of people who were jealous and secretly quarreled after seeing Rene getting along with the 3rd princess recently joined the situation.

I didnt know she was going to et them here.

There was no way they would leave her alone. It was better to avoid any clashes and Rene has realized through her past experiences. She imdiately turned her gaze away.

Lets go inside.

Rene headed deeper into the garden. Since the site of Theon is so wide, even the size of the garden was different. There were marble fountains, colorful flower fields, and a long avenue of trees. Even so artificial forests or small open spaces have been created, and sotis the students used them to socialize outdoors.

So say that there is a secret place in this large garden that other people dont see, but she didnt know that.

Lets hide for now.

Rene moved imdiately and went inside the garden.

Vines and beautiful pink flowers grow to block the sunlight, creating a long tunnel of arched pergola.. As she walked through it, it was as if she were passing through a door to another world.

As she exited the pergola, she saw the lush greenery.

There was a place like this?

She had just entered this place and was still not familiar with the geography or structure, so whenever she encountered a new place, she was simply amazed.

Rene pricked her ears and listened to the situation outside.

Did they go?

She could still hear the soft chatter between them. Are they thinking of staying here?

I dont think theyll co this far.

Killing ti in this area in moderation, avoiding the noble students, and going back through a detour were Rene thoughts when she leaned her back against a suitable tree and suddenly turned her head in one direction.

Is this a song?

A voice ca from inside the forest.

Who is inside?

It was sothing she could just ignore but Rene was curious. So of the songs are good to listen to, but its because she felt a sense of dj vu as if she had heard it sowhere.

It feels similar to when I got the book from Mr. Rudger.

Rene was curious and unwittingly moved her steps towards the source of the sound.

Lets just check.

Theres still ti until Rudgers class anyway. With that in mind a small open space that greeted Rene, who was heading into the forest. It was not a natural place since the vacant lot was very neat as if soone had been managing it before. Besides, there was even a small flower bed nearby.

Who is it? Did the gardener do it?

With that thought in mind, she slowly walked towards the center of the vacant lot. The lody that had been heard a while ago was no longer heard.

Who are you? This is a place no one cos to.

A voice ca from behind her back.

Rene looked back in surprise and saw soone sitting on a thick branch and looking down at her.

Who are you?

Well?

The young man, who seems to be the owner of the flower bed, questioned her reaction and eventually realized that he had just co here by chance.

He let out a small laugh, then jumped off the tree and landed lightly in front of Rene.

Renes eyes widened at the quick movents.

Did you co here by chance?

Oh that.

Rene was belatedly able to recognize who the other person was. He was a sophomore and above all, the dark blue hair color he had was easy to recognize.

Senior.. Freuden?

Freuden Ulburg, the eldest son of the Ulburg family, who symbolizes the wolf, one of the three duke families of the Exilion Empire. He is also a student who is regarded as the head of the noble faction in Theon.

Is this the flower bed that senior Freuden was managing?!

Rene realized that she had entered the tigers den.

The rumors about Freuden had already spread among other students and his notoriety among the commoners grew because he is the leader of a faction made up of noble students who openly despise and harass commoners.

He was also the eldest son of the Freudian family, unmatched by anyone except the imperial family, so commoner students were afraid of Freuden. The fact that aristocratic students looked down on and harassed commoners was to the extent that it was even said that this man had given orders from above.

For commoner students, Freuden was the final boss to be wary of and fear more than anyone else.

To see such Freuden Ulburg alone in a place like this.

No, its ruined.

Rene thought about whether she should run away right now.
