Academy’s Undercover Professor

et go of the chance I’ve just caught?’

‘I’m sure they understood what the vice president was saying.
But now that Ms.
Marie came forward, we’re going to be hit if we go further.’

Chris’ advice was correct.

Hugo argued with the president based on an excuse, but not everyone condemned the president’s actions.
On the contrary, Hugo’s actions, which did not come up with an alternative but only scuffled, made his image worse.

‘So what do you want me to do? Back out cleanly?’

‘How about this?’

Chris whispered something to Hugo, and his eyes flickered as he heard it.
Having said what he had to say, Chris quietly stepped back.

Hugo drew attention by coughing.

“Well, if the president really does that, it’s not something we don’t understand.”

Elisa was surprised by Hugo’s sudden change.
Seeing his smiling face made her feel anxious for no reason.

“Well, it is inevitable that the festival has already been moved forward.
Hasn’t it already happened? Good.
That’s all good.
Still, there are requirements since this has already happened.”

“Requirements? What else are you going to do?”

“Can’t we at least give our opinions?”

“Say it.”

“Hmm.
What I want to say is, since we’re holding the festival early, why don’t we put in a different event than the previous one?”

As if this is the point Hugo naturally offered his opinion.

“Which one?”

“We will be adding something new to the fighting event held in the Magic Festival.
For example, yes.
Something like a special event where teachers will duel with each other.”

Hugo’s face was full of insidious plans.

When I checked the official letter that came to my office, I lightly touched my temple with my fingertips.

‘I think it’s confirmed that the festival will be held as soon as the second test is over.
The schedule is tighter than I thought.’

We’ll start preparing for the festival right after the second test.

The preparation period alone will be so large that it will take a week, considering that there are a lot of employees and wizards living or working inside Theon.

‘Rather, it’s more surprising that it takes a week to prepare even with those people.’

It hasn’t been long since the first test results were released, but it’s time for the second test already.

‘Still, it’ll be easy for me since the second test will be the magic square practical test.’

To be honest, I wanted to believe that.
Surely there aren’t any students here who are sloppy?

‘Still, I solved the conversion in my own way.’

Maybe I’m the only one who thinks so.
The magic square it’s fascinating but it’s not really that amazing.

The framework for the magic square already existed in this world.
The magic square research stopped at some point, but the system itself was not a completely new magic.

That is, I did not create something out of nothing.
Now, I just put new firewood into the bonfire where only residual fire remained.

It’s rather shameful for me to brag about it.

‘I’m hoping for some good responses.’

Now that the second test is approaching, I was thinking of going out a little farther.

‘Roteng Village of Durman Kingdom.’

Now, I was going to stop by a place where there was nothing left because it was burned down by fire to check the identity of the first order.

So, Sedina, who would normally remain, was also sent home right away.
Sedina said she would stay longer, but she couldn’t break my strong will.

‘Shall I go?’

Just as I was putting on my coat, someone knocked on the door of the office.

“Come in.”

The door opens and I can see the familiar blue hair.
It was Flora Lumos, one of the students in my class, who came into my office.

I wondered what had brought her here suddenly, but I immediately guessed why.

“Flora Lumos, are you here to get the framework?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“You came later than I thought.”

Except for her, the other four came before and took the framework from me.
Her being the last one was quite unexpected.

“I’ve been a little busy.”

“Did something happen?”

“………It’s none of your business.”

It was just a ritual question, but that answer came back.
But it’s too much of a stretch to ask questions here, right? Because I have to respect the privacy of the students.

When I didn’t ask any more questions, Flora became slightly annoyed.

“Aren’t you curious?”

“You said it’s none of my business”

“……Hmm.
That’s enough.”

What is it? You look angry.
I was quite taken aback by Flora’s sudden, clueless attitude.
Is it because of the late onset of adolescence?

“Anyway, if you’re here to get the framework, I’d like to say you came at the right time.
If you were a little late, you would have knocked on the door of an empty office.”

“……That’s a relief.”

“Flora Lumos, congratulations on winning the first place, albeit belatedly.”

I gave Flora a light compliment.
I know she’s good and smart.
Still, she’s the student who took first place in my class, and as a teacher, I had to praise her this much.

Flora opened her eyes wide since my congratulations were unexpected, and avoided my gaze.

“It wasn’t a big deal.
It was a piece of cake for me.……Of course, it’s a shame that I was tied for first place.”

“I understand.
Your opponent was also a formidable prodigy.”

1st year Julia Plumhart.
She performed on an equal footing with Flora Lumos, earning the reputation of being tied for first place proving that she didn’t get the attention of many teachers from the beginning of the semester for nothing.

“Oh, anyway.
Give me the framework.”

She’s so confident.
However, Flora deserved to be so confident because she won the prize given by her ability.
That kind of behavior suits her more.

I lifted my palm and when I tried to use magic to float the framework my hands were covered by Flora Lumos white and thin hands.

“…….”

I stared at Flora Lumos, who put her hand over my hand without saying a word.

“What’s wrong with you? Are you not going to give it to me?”

She still didn’t seem to know what she had done wrong so I sighed softly.

“Flora Lumos.”

“Why are you calling me?”

“The framework procedure is something that does not need to be received by skin contact.”

“What?”

Flora Lumos gave a curious reaction.

One second.

Two seconds.

When exactly three seconds passed.

“……!!!”

Flora Lumos realized what she had done and hurriedly removed her hands.
Her face was red to the earlobes like ripe mussels.
