I got a fake job at the academy C19: Commoner Girl Rene (2)

After I got out of the training ground, I went straight to a place where there were no people.

After looking around and seeing that no one was there, I took a pill out of my pocket with trembling hands.

'I thought I was going to die from enduring it.'

I poured the pill into my mouth and chewed it as it was. Intense magical power spread in my mouth with a bitter yet elegant sensation that touches the tip of my tongue.

'Whoa. I will live.'

As the medicinal energy spreads and magical powers are supplied to the brain, the organ that had been damaged gradually returned to its original state.

I sat down on a quiet bench and caught my breath.

The first signal came when I stopped at the 2nd training ground. My fingers tremble slightly and my head feels dizzy. It was kind of like a chronic disease after I came into this world.

'If it wasn't for the medicine, it would have been a disaster.'

Still, I thought it was tolerable, so I checked up to Training Ground 1 and tried to take the medicine right away but I had to intervene in the freshmen's fight. No I shouldn't call it a fight since there was a clear distinction between victim and perpetrator.

So I intervened in the middle and managed to prevent things from escalating. Afterwards, while talking about punishment, I felt the wave that had subsided once soared. Feeling my body telling me to put the medicine in my mouth, I quickly settled the situation and tried to leave but there was a problem.

Who would have thought that she would boldly say things like fallen aristocrat there? For a moment, I didn't even know if she was talking to me, and I thought deeply in my head for about three seconds.

I wonder if it was something the kid really said, and I had all kinds of complicated and long lines in my head, but my communication skills were poor. But the problem is that after hearing this, I can't just go as a teacher.

'I mean, why did you have to say that at that time?'

If I was alone I would have pretended not to hear it and passed it on, but there were too many witnesses around. In the end, in order to protect my authority as a teacher, I had to say something first, but my head did not work well, so there was nothing plausible to say.

-Originally, what you did is a clear challenge to the authority of the academy.

– It may be referred to the disciplinary committee according to the school rules.

-You may receive a penalty or even get attention from the president.

Well, I should have said these basic words, but I couldn't remember them.

'So I just spit out whatever came to mind.'

I was trying to manage the expression on my face that almost collapsed while I spoke. Maybe my face was a little distorted. There is a little bit of blood in my eyes.

'It won't be a big problem, will it?'

Anyway, Selina-sensei also came, so I succeeded in leaving in a hurry.

I got up from the bench, gulping the pills in my mouth. Fortunately, it is an early symptom. If this had gotten worse here, other people might have noticed my weirdness.

'Is this the last medicine?'

When I saw that the medicine box was empty, I sighed. I put the extra medicine in the pre-mailed bag, but I didn't know it was going to turn out like this because things went wrong in the middle.

'Next weekend, I decided to meet him. To be honest, it seems difficult to hold on until then, so I'll have to send him another letter and tell him to come earlier.'

If not, I have to rent a private medicine room and make it myself, but if I do, it will be recorded in the records, which is a big deal.

'I hope nothing will happen until then.'

With my head getting clearer, I took a deep breath and set out on patrol again.

* * *

"Are you okay?"

"Yes. Thank you for your concern."

"This is my job."

Although she vehemently said that she was okay Selina took her to her infirmary.

Selina gave her a warm smile and waved her hand, but Rene was sincere.

"That...Teacher Selina."

"Yes?"

"How is that kid?"

"You mean Dunema? I'm not sure."

"Oh right..."

"Still, according to the school rules notified in advance, it wasn't just a fight, it was a one-sided attack, so I wondered if she would receive disciplinary action even if she wouldn't be expelled from school."

It would be better if the academy would give stronger discipline to people with strong self-esteem like Dunema but both of them had a vague feeling that they wouldn't.

She was still a freshman who didn't know what to do, so the lenient punishment also played a part, but above all else, since her father is a count, they will try to take care of it.

"Why? Are you worried?"

"Nope. I'm just curious."

To be honest, I don't feel sorry for Dunema, who attacked this way. On the contrary, it was surprising that she was not expelled from school for what she did. I was just asking because I was confused.

"Are you worried?"

"Yes?"

"Your expression is showing it."

"Ah..."

Rene nodded her head slightly.

"It just seems to be more intense than I thought when I came here. I thought Theon was a place full of dreams and ideals."

"...."

"But this time, when I spoke with a noble student, it didn't seem like that at all. Even though the person who did the wrong thing will be punished, there is no guarantee that something like this won't happen again in the future."

"...yes."

Selina also agreed with Rene's opinion.

In Theon, royalty and commoners are said to be equal, but that was rarely true. Even if teachers mediate students as much as possible in a neutral position, there is no way that problems won't arise when students are alone.

Even some aristocratic teachers discriminated against commoners and subtly favored noble students. As a result, some who were proud of being nobles looked down on the teachers just because they were commoners or fallen aristocrats. Dunema's abusive language to Rudger was an extension of this situation.

"That's right. To be honest, I also think that was harsh on Mr. Rudger."

Rene put her hands on her waist and puffed her cheeks as if she was trying to prove she was mad.

Selina smiled softly as she looked at Rene, who had her eyes widened as if she didn't know what the teacher would say.

"But it's because Mr. Rudger passed on it. There is nothing more we can say."

"Aren't you mad?"

"Of course I am angry. I'm trying hard but it must have been Mr. Rudger who had the most complicated thoughts at the time."

"Ah."

Rene remembered the expression Rudger had made at that time. A shadow was cast on her face so she couldn't see well, but she must have been terrified.

After she met those eyes, Dunema's face turned white. Rudger was originally a terrifying teacher, but she couldn't imagine how terrifying he would be if he was truly angry.

Even so, Mr. Rudger offered to take care of her Dunema's mistake only this time. He must have been angrier with himself than anyone else.

It's not just about surrendering to the other's family and passing on it. Rather, it was more of a mercy for educating a student who was truly in need.

Sure enough, Rudger had consistently looked at her with her cold gaze. There was no way that a person who showed such an attitude would have resigned from the authority of the other person's family.

When he admonished Dunema, he frankly told herself that she was right. Rene looked at him and was completely surprised.

"So I'm going to try to believe it too. She must have done something wrong, but we're still young students, aren't we? I think there is an opportunity to change."

"Ah." Selina scratched her head.

"Hehehe. Sorry. Did I talk too much like an aunty?"

"No. Teacher Selina is also young enough. I would have called you sister if we had met outside."

"Oh, thank you for the compliment. Rene is a good kid."

Selina herself would think she was getting older, but in Rene's eyes, she was so young that if she wore her school uniform, she would only look like her senior.

She is beautiful and always smiling, Selina has already been the object of adoration by some boys but she's not really aware of it.

In the first place, I wonder if the mid-20s are that old.

"Yes. Sister~. That's a good word. I wish I had a younger sister like Rene."

"I wish I had an older sister like Selina."

"Really? Oh my, you're pretty."

"Hehe. Then, can you give me a little more points for the Elemental Studies class?"

"It'll depend on how hard you work."

Selina smiled and returned Rene's prank.

"The time has already come. I'll go look around the rest of the patrol area. You have to tell me if there is something wrong with your body."

"Yes."

Selina waved and left the infirmary.

She was left alone, and Rene looked at her body and thought she was fine, so she got up from the bed.

'By the way, Mr. Rudger called my name.'

When she used the training ground, she wore comfortable clothes because she was afraid that her uniform would get dirty. Naturally, back then, she didn't have a name tag, so no one knew her name. But Rudger Chelici called her name naturally.

'Did you remember my name after one class?'

For Rudger Chelici, she's just one of 80 students, and a commoner who doesn't even need to be noticed. Still, Rudger remembered her name.

Suddenly, she remembered what he said to Dunema.

'In Theon, everyone is equal.'

Like throwing a stone into a calm water surface, those words ripple through Rene's mind.

If he had only said it but didn't mean it Rene would have been disappointed but Rudger didn't. Through his actions and his unshakable convictions he instilled hope for a fair Theon.

'My first impression was obviously that he was a scary teacher.'

As a new teacher, I didn't expect much when I took his first class. However, I was surprised by the innovation of source code that Rudger showed.

Even after Flora's actions he mediated the situation, he ended up warning the student even though he had been insulted.

The figure that suddenly appeared and saved her in a moment of crisis was momentary, but it was like seeing a prince riding a white horse in a fairy tale. Involuntarily, her heart was pounding.

'No. Mr. Rudger probably didn't care just about me.'

I'm here to learn magic, not for dramatic encounters.

* * *

After the incident at Training Ground No. 1, nothing unusual was found on the patrol, so I was able to return to my dormitory with peace of mind.

When I got home, I immediately sent a letter to him. It was difficult to wait until next weekend, so he had to come earlier.

The reply came back early in the morning.

What was written on the inside was simple. The task at hand was finished earlier than expected, so he was going to come immediately.

The meeting point is in the factory area beyond the eastern commercial district of Leathervelk. I wrote the letter, thinking that it would be a suitable place for people not to see.

'Today is Friday. Tomorrow is Saturday, so one day should be enough.'

It's the first weekend after the start of the semester, so the students may be excited, but will the same thing happen as the day before?

With that in mind, I heard a strange story from Selina, who was having lunch with me.

"Werewolf?"

"Yes, werewolf."

Rumors about a werewolf began to circulate in Theon.

I got a fake job at the academy C20: Abraham Van Helsing (1)

Teacher Selina, who was smiling brightly today as well, nodded her head at my question.

"Yes. Rumors have already spread among the students. Werewolves exist only as urban legends. Is it funny?"

"..."

"No matter how many geniuses there are, I think they are still students. You don't have to care about such a joke."

Selina laughed bashfully saying that the students' imaginations were so cute, but I couldn't help but sigh.

It is said that the first source of the rumor was students who had gone out to the nearby city of Leathervelk the day before. At sunset the first eyewitness saw a black shadow gliding across the roof of a building through the night mist that subtly descended.

I shook my head.

"Aren't they still children?"

"Yes. Still, it was a little strange to hear that the werewolf that was seen outside the city was also seen in Theon."

"In Theon?"

"Did the children in the city spread the word, so the students inside the school saw something and thought it was a werewolf?"

"Theon is so wide and since it is a place where all kinds of magic are spread, it is said that there are cases where strange phenomena occur due to magical powers. There really are 7 ghost stories, right?"

"Are you talking about the 7th ghost story?"

"Yes. Did you not know?"

"Ms. Selina is well aware of ghost stories."

"Yes Yes?!"

These were just words of praise, but for some reason, Selina-sensei overreacted a bit. Her eyes widened and her cheeks flushed pink. Her hair stood up as if it had swelled a little.

When she looked at me wondering why she was reacting like that, she hurriedly said as if making an excuse.

"I was just thinking about what topics would be good to have conversations with students"

"Okay, calm down."

Seeing her arms swaying to and fro, it felt like if I made a mistake, she might bump into a plate and spill food.

"No. Not really."

However, Ms. Selina continued to make more desperate excuses as to whether she felt something impatient in my attitude.

When I thought our meal was unlikely to continue as it is, Ms. Merylda, intervened.

"Ah. Come to think of it, Mr. Rudger, I heard that you did quite splendidly during your first class, is that true?"

"What do you mean?"

"It is said that I showed a groundbreaking magic that increased the speed of spell casting. What did they say the name was?"

"Source code!"

Selina also forgot her embarrassment, turned on the lights in her eyes and shouted. Due to her loud cry, a momentary but silence lingered in the teacher's dining room.

Selina realized her own mistake and bowed her head. Her earlobes, exposed through her pink hair, were dyed bright red.

I sighed a little and nodded my head.

As I nodded my head in agreement, eyes flew in from all directions. It was the gaze of the teachers who were eating at the other table.

As I was wondering why, Ms. Merylda came closer and explained it to me so that I could hear it.

"It's because everyone is interested in Mr. Rudger's magic," she said.

"My magic?"

"Oh. Are you pretending not to know? Mr. Rudger had already shown his magic in his first class, and rumors spread within Theon."

"Hmm."

I put a piece of meat in my mouth and figured out how things were going.

'Are they interested?'

From the first day of class, I vaguely guessed that it was going to be like this.

From the point of view of the people of this world, the source code borrowing the 21st century computer programming method would be truly innovative. It was fully expected that the ripple effect would surely reach other teachers as well.

"I heard that it dramatically shortened the speed of spell casting. Is it true?"

"Yes. That's enough to make a lot of money by filing a patent to the tower."

Selina responded as well.

Well, to say the least, it's not wrong. Source code will become a wind of change in the now stagnant magic society. In fact, if I provide this kind of magic to the tower that has a magic patent system, I will be able to sit on a cushion of money.

"I don't care about that."

I pretended not to be humble, but I know better than anyone that it is better not to apply for a patent.

For those who do not yet know what it is, providing a newly developed magic to the tower would be a great thing, but the reality is a little different. There is definitely a magic patent system in Magic Tower.

Wizards who lack money want to make money using such a patent system, but such a good appearance is only superficial. Even a patent becomes a patent only if it is properly recognized by the tower.

The problem is that most of the magic that is submitted as a patent is usually hit with all kinds of excuses in the Magic Tower.

'I'd rather just make excuses. There are many people who would abuse this.'

Other new teachers may still have a positive perception of the tower, but I have a different perspective because I have already experienced how dirty and degrading the tower is.

Indeed, even if those old judges developed a new magic that could not be criticized, the problem still exists.

'If you don't have a supporter or the backbone of an aristocratic family, you will be robbed of the magic to be patented.'

Or, if a person is dissatisfied with the tower and does not apply for a patent, he may be dragged into a back alley and forced to give up the magic.

Actually there was such a case.

In other words, the patent system used by the tower is nothing more than a fake with no reputation. Knowing that, I did not dedicate my magic to the tower to make money.

'At least, Rudger's status is better now.'

Although he is a fallen aristocrat, he is currently working as a teacher in Theon, so it is not bad in terms of awareness. However, even with such a status, if I'm careless, my nose will be cut with my eyes open.

A stagnant place where greedy old men are rampant it's like gooey mud.

In any country, such a place is disgusting and deliberately showing the source code in Theon was an act that involved some calculation.

First, spread the word to the students and tell them that the groundbreaking magic source code was invented by Rudger Chelici.

Rumors among students spread will to the teachers, and even among teachers, rumors will spread to the outside of Theon. That's how it'll get into the ears of the tower.

For a person to go in with their head bowed first and apply for a patent, it is a mistake, however, when the other side approaches me because they are anxious about the appearance of a new magic, then our positions are reversed.

And the status of the Rudger will rise even higher. He is a teacher of Theon with considerable talent, rather than a new teacher who has nothing.

If you have a business card like this, they won't be able to ignore me easily. It will take some time, but there is nothing better to solidify my position.

'But the problem is that other teachers are turning their eyes to me.'

Selina and Merylda are fine because of their good personalities, but the other teachers have been blatantly jealous of me. In particular, Chris Benimore's eyes, one of the teachers who joined at the same time as me, seem to have the magma seeping in his eyes.

I'll kill people with those eyes.

"I'm sorry though..."

"You don't have to be sorry for showing it to students first."

I turned around like that and got up from my seat.

"I will go first. I have my next class."

"Ah yes! Work hard!"

"Goodbye~."

I nodded my head lightly to the two teachers who greeted me, and then quickly walked out of the teacher's dining room.

* * *

Merylda narrowed her eyes as she looked at Rudger as he left. From the first time she saw him, she thought he was a great man, but after talking to him a while ago, she realized for sure.

'Instead of revealing it to the tower, he kept it secret until now and showed it in the first class.'

From Merylda's point of view, Rudger's behavior was not like a wizard these days. Because he is too cold-hearted, he lacks a lot of empathy, so he is selfish and lacks consideration for others.

In the world of magic now, even a master who should teach someone does not trust his pupil. She felt desperate because she had also been through a similar situation.

But what about Rudger?

Although he possessed that great magic, he did not show off his skills around him. And what's even more surprising is that his magic was used in front of the students.

'No matter how young the students are, if you show them how to use magic, some savvy people might catch it.'

Doesn't that guy even worry about losing his magic? There are only two reasons for doing this. One, the magic is too difficult.

'Or.'

I determined that it doesn't matter if I lose it.

'Ah, maybe.'

But it wasn't until then that he showed the dignified attitude he showed when he ate a little while ago.

That can't be the explanation.

'This kind of person is a new teacher like me.'

The more she thought about it, the more humble she felt. Merylda sighed and turned to her side. Selina, her classmate and close friend stared blankly at Rudger's departure.

'I'm pretty obsessed with this one too.'

After Merylda shook her head, saying she couldn't help it, she immediately smiled mischievously and tapped her fingertips on the nape of her Selina's neck.

* * *

The Saturday after the theory class.

At noon, when the sun was shining brightly, I went to Leathervelk, a city near Theon. First of all, it was nominally a simple walk to see the nearby city, but in reality, it was because I had a prior commitment.

The appointment is in the evening, but there is still plenty of time left. I came out earlier to see what Leathervelk was like.

'The city itself looks pretty cool.'

Leathervelk, a city with advanced engineering, is a huge city with more than 500 km of Ramzier River flowing through its center.

The flowing rivers and countless railroads on the ground were blood vessels that instill the vitality of the city, and the people living in it are full of vitality.

Leathervelk, which has become the center of all kinds of commerce, magic, and engineering, has earned the reputation of being the most developed city because it is adjacent to Theon Academy.

I walked through 'Center Pod', the main street of Leathervelk. Unlike other districts, here, gentlemen and ladies in suits were quietly enjoying their leisure time.

Center Pod, a place that symbolizes the revival of Leathervelk. This is a residential complex inhabited by the wealthy, the trees were beautifully carved, and steam and golem wagons roamed every road.

I sat on the terrace of a secluded cafe and drank coffee. Even on weekends, the subtle scent of coffee beans that permeated the quiet cafe and the scent of the coffee I drink mix to evoke a strange mood.

'That's cool.'

It is a beautiful place and I want to live in a place like this at least once. It is natural to have such a thought.

'A house is definitely expensive.'

I got up from my seat, paid for my coffee and I headed to the next area.

'Grand Chapel' is the downtown area most frequented by people in Leathervelk. A huge white cathedral in the Gothic Revival style stood tall. It wasn't just the downtown area but it was full of all sorts of things that I had never really seen before.

Machines that emit white steam from external combustion engines made of brass and mechanics that work on those machines.

Children playing with small clockwork toys.

People on the street playing accordions, cellos, and violins, and citizens dancing while listening to the music.

"...."

As I wandered around the city like that, the sun was setting.

"Dang. Dang. Dang."

Huge clock towers towering all over the city rang the bells announcing that it was 6 o'clock. Since it was early spring, when there were still traces of winter, the sun set early and the air that touched the skin quickly cooled.

I fastened the front of the black coat I was wearing and headed to the meeting place.

So far, I have only seen the beautiful appearance of Leathervelk, but the place I go this time is the opposite. Shadows cast clearly under intense light. It was a place called the ugly bare face of this city.

Pushing the wide-brimmed hat on my head even deeper, I walked through the mist rising from the waters of the Ramzier River.

When even the clouds of blazing scarlet flames drifted westward, and the dark blue skies covered the entire city of Leathervelk I stood in front of an alleyway in the factory area where there was a thick fog.

There is no one here. Street vagrants also gave up begging and returned to the depths of the alleyways, and children coughing harshly and working to earn a living went home.

I am the only one here

The scarlet light from the street lamp collides with the fog and scatters haze. In that empty stillness, I leaned my back against the smudged bricks, waiting for the person I was supposed to meet.

'I came early and you're late.'

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a sound from the back of the alley where I was leaning.

'Creepy.'

It is a sound that a human vocal cord can never make.

I turned my back from the wall and looked into the alleyway. A pair of red eyes appeared from the inside of an unknown space where gray mist and black darkness were half mixed.

'It's true.'

I remembered Selina words from the previous day in the dining room, the rumor that the students saw werewolves. She went on to say that it was just a ghost story, but looking at that now, I wondered what she would think.

At that moment the being in the dark rushed forward in an instant. I stared at it and immediately raised my fist and slammed it on his head.

"Koo!"

Screams spread briefly in the fog.

I looked down at the guy sitting in front of me.

"Why are you late, are you trying to play with me?"

"It's been a long time."

Saying that, the guy who pats his aching head with his hand is the acquaintance I was going to meet, and can be called my subordinate.

"It's been a long time, Hans."

"It's been a long time, older brother."

He was the one who spread rumors of a werewolf among students.

I got a fake job at the academy C21: Abraham Van Helsing (2)

"More than that..."

Rudger interrupted Hans to reveal his real name.

"Now it's Rudger. Call me Rudger Chelici."

"You mean Rudger Chelici? Ah. Come to think of it, that was the name that sent me the letter. What the hell happened? Why aren't we meeting in the capital where we were originally supposed to?"

"It is long to explain. Rather…."

Rudger glanced at Hans and shook his head.

"Even now an accident happened. What kind of bullshit is that?"

"Damn it. Who wants to be like this?"

Hans's current appearance resembled that of a werewolf and anyone who would see him on the street would scream and run away.

It's dark now, but if they saw this in broad daylight, people would have felt puzzled rather than running away because Hans's appearance did not have the ferocity characteristic of a werewolf. To be precise, he even had a cuteness that did not match his size.

"What bit you this time?"

"A brown puppy in the arms of an old woman suddenly ran up to me and who knew she would bite me?"

"Looking at your expression I can roughly tell what happened."

Hans, half-human and half-beast, has brown hair. However, rather than the dark and dull color of a wolf roaming the wild, it is closer to the conspicuous bright side.

Above all, the shape of the face is very different from that of a wolf. A little shorter than the long head of a wolf, with a short mouth and bright eyes.

Its appearance was very similar to the [Pomeranian], which is famous as a cute pet dog. The hairy puppy that bit him was a Pomeranian.

"I've felt it for a long time, but you are born with a very interesting constitution."

"Damn it. Don't laugh at someone else's business. I don't think I've been cursed or anything."

Hans is a human born with a slightly unusual constitution. That is, when an animal bites him, he changes into its form and right now he looks like a werewolf.

'However, it's a flaw that it's different from a normal werewolf.'

Werewolves, as the name suggests, only transform into wolves during a full moon, but Hans did not. Hans remains normal even when he sees the full moon, but only forcibly mutates when bitten by an animal.

It can be said that Hans, who can change in this way, has quite a lot of power, the problem is the timing.

'In today's advanced age of civilization and science wolves, tigers, and bears are found only in the mountains.'

And the precondition that he can only change through bites is absurd.

As a result, Hans said that the animals he could easily encounter in the city were stray cats, wild dogs, or pet dogs kept by the ladies.

It even overlaps with the problem of whether his unique constitution is working in some way, or whether the animals rush to him when they see Hans.

If Hans is a little careless, he will get bitten by a small beast and forcibly transformed into a half-human and half-beast.

Hans' powers are different from magic and closer to supernatural powers.

"Take it."

Rudger took an injection ampoule of green reagent from his pocket and threw it at Hans.

Hans hastily grabbed the ampoule with both hands and put it directly into his forearm with a happy face. Then immediately a change occurred.

The hair that had grown on the body decreased, and his size that had grown was gradually reduced. The bright and cute Pomeranian face also changed into a man with a slightly mean look.

Hans, who returned to normal, touched his body here and there, and sighed in relief.

"Wheeyu. If it wasn't for the hyung, I would have been struggling for a few more days."

"If you think about it, yes."

It's been quite some time since Rudger met Hans. At that time, Hans could not control his constitution, so he was called a monster and was being pursued.

Still, if he had the power to turn into a beast, he could act as the king in a back alley, but he was a guy who couldn't fight by nature, so he just wandered around to avoid persecution.

Meeting Rudger at that time was the fortune of a lifetime for Hans.

"I almost died when we first met," he said.

"I thought you were a cryptid wandering the city."

Cryptid refers to a monster that appears in various parts of the city now that real monsters have disappeared. These guys can be seen as the remnants of monsters.

Compared to monsters that exist in reality, it was more of a supernatural phenomenon. Demon beasts, spirit beasts, and other strange beasts or beings shaped by negative emotions in response to magical powers.

The reason Rudger sought Hans was because he received a cryptid subjugation quest. But when he first met Hans, Rudger was quite embarrassed to realize that he was not the werewolf he had envisioned.

Hans at that time was half-human, resembling a Chihuahua.

"I was quite surprised to find out that you were a human being who could speak properly."

"Were you surprised by that? I was even more surprised by your behavior, who developed a cure so quickly."

"It is not a cure. It's more like a neutralizer."

"That's it."

Hans snorted.

Rudger nodded as he did not deny it.

"Rather than this, your pseudonym is Rudger Chelici. Are you also a teacher at Theon Academy? When the hell did you change your identity as Rudger Chelici? It sounds like you blew it up a bit. Do you know how surprised I was that you suddenly became a teacher at Theon?"

"It's a long story."

Starting with the terrorist train attack, Rudger explained how he became a Theon teacher.

After hearing the last words, Hans couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Pu ha ha ha! Big brother is great. How could you say you were Rudger there?"

"If I wanted to live, I had to."

"If it were me, I would have considered it rather suspicious. Rudger is even a member of a mysterious secret society?"

"He's an executive called First Order."

"Hmm….First Order."

"Do you know anything?"

Hans patted his chin and fell into anguish. It was his habit when he was trying to think of something.

"Hmm…I think I've heard of it. No, I definitely remember. Have you ever heard of the recent uproar outside the Empire?"

"Not yet."

"Well, it's completely recent, so you might not know. They say there's been a bunch of new guys lately that are pretty strong and crazy. They grade their members by Order."

"It seems you are certain. What is the name of the organization?"

"Some call it the Black Dawn."

Rudger pondered the name. Those with whom he was associated were certainly not normal.

They planted that many people in Theon and assassinated members of the academy to hide their identity.

"Do you have any more information about them?"

"It's so recent, I don't know the details. All I know is the name of the organization and its ranking. But now you're the First Order there?"

"It was a situation where I was wearing the mask of the guy who was originally the First Order."

"You were lucky enough to get over it, but if you make a mistake, it won't be noticed, right?"

"For now."

"If caught, you will be tortured in ways beyond your imagination."

Rudger grunted and rummaged through his pockets.

"So I have to be prepared."

Rudger, who took out the medicine box, was about to eat the medicine inside, but realizing that he had eaten the last yesterday, extended his arm to Hans.

"My bag."

"Ah. I brought it here."

Hans immediately took the black suitcase hidden in the dark alley and handed it to Rudger.

Rudger checked if his luggage was in good condition.

"You open it?"

"Am I crazy enough to open your luggage? Even if I wanted to open it in the first place, I couldn't."

Hans shrugged and denied Rudger's half-joking and half-serious words.

Rudger opened his suitcase and looked at all of his personal belongings inside him. It was the same as when he put it in after organizing it before sending it off.

Rudger took out two pills from the vial and popped them into his mouth.

Hans looked at Rudger with a slightly pitiful gaze.

"Brother is suffering too. Now that I think about it, both brother and I are in a position where we have to live on drugs."

"Unlike drugs, it doesn't have any side effects, so it's a shame."

"So, what are your plans for the future? You must have been restrained a lot because of your new identity."

"I will have to think about it later."

Originally, I had planned to use Theon power to suppress them or sabotage their plans, but that alone felt insufficient. It is too optimistic to hope that Theon will take care of the Black Dawn.

It was necessary to move a little more actively and uproot them.

"Hmm."

Rudger, who was about to lock the suitcase that had been opened, suddenly remembered something and asked Hans a question.

"Hans. If you had already arrived here two days ago, why did you ask me to wait?"

"What do you mean?"

"Rumors of a werewolf appearing spread all over Leathervelk, even in Theon, there was someone who saw you."

"Yes? Older brother, what do you mean? I came to Leathervelk today."

"What?"

Rudger asked the question without realizing it.

It was the same with Hans.

"There were rumors of a werewolf in Leathervelk? Before I came?"

"I thought it was you."

"No, I came today and you know my personality too. If I had come yesterday, I would have asked to meet you right away."

The two were speechless for a moment. So, who the hell is the werewolf in the rumor that is spreading now?

"Ooooooooo!!!"

At that moment, a cry was heard from beyond the misty darkness. There was no way the two men present could not hear the cry of this iconic beast.

"Older brother."

"Huh."

Rudger leaned his back against the wall and looked around him. The sound of something moving fast along with the harsh breathing in the wind resounded in his ears a little.

"A real werewolf."

"You mean it wasn't a rumor, it was true?"

"Maybe."

At that moment, Rudger and Hans lifted their heads at the same time and looked up. Above the high roof, just then, a black shadow could be seen passing swiftly across.

A black-haired beast shed blood-red traces of its eyes in the air. The foul odor peculiar to the beast filled their nostrils.

"Crazy, it was true... Brother, shall we leave for now? I don't think he recognized us right away."

"It is only a matter of time."

Werewolves were moving around quickly but it didn't go far. He was roaming around the factory area, wandering here and there.

The bastard is now looking for his prey.

'I thought there was something on the werewolf's neck.'

When the werewolf appeared in an instant Rudger's eyes pierced the thick fog and scanned his body clearly. What caught his attention in particular was something similar to a dog tag on the guy's neck.

'Is belonging to someone he ate? No. Rather, it was more like a restraint, a leash.'

Maybe I saw it wrong. It was such a fleeting moment, so I might have misunderstood something. However, the fact that that werewolf had appeared in Leathervelk and the rumor had spread to Theon was caught up in the news.

"Hans. I'll have to check it out."

"Are you sure? Are you going to catch that werewolf?"

Rudger said so, picking up items from his suitcase one by one.

He wore a leather belt around his waist and the multifunctional belt was full of empty holsters. Rudger put all the objects one by one into the empty slots on the belt: throwing weapon, melee weapon, vials of reagents and finally, two revolvers. Rudger quickly checked his guns, and then crossed them onto his back.

Rudger finished by wearing gauntlets with mechanical devices on both forearms.

Watching Rudger put on his gear one by one, Hans remembered the first time he had met him.

"It's been a long time since I've seen brother use it."

Although all kinds of equipment were added, Rudger's appearance did not change. As such, the tools they are using now are very secretive.

"It's the same equipment you used as a cryptid hunter? You used a pseudonym even then?"

"I did."

"What was that name? Brother has to use a lot of pseudonyms and I can't remember it."

"Van Helsing."

Rudger, with all his gear, closed the suitcase and stood up. A shadow fell on his face, with his hat pressed down deeply.

"Abraham van Helsing."

It was the name Rudger once used as a hunter.

I got a fake job at the academy C22: Hunter in the Mechanical Clockwork City (1)

Chapter 3/3 for the week. I finally made up for the missed releases.

5 years ago Durman Kingdom, one of the small and medium-sized countries in the southern part of the continent, suffered from a headache due to the sudden infestation of cryptids.

The nightmare continued for over a month, with wolves roaming in the middle of the city, bizarre beasts devouring people every night, and the smell of blood lingering for more than a month.

Even if the soldiers and knights were put in, the cryptids flirted with the knights and avoided their encirclement. The situation escalated without a solution.

Among them was one of the most infamous Cryptids. It was a monster who was active in Jévaudan, one of the major cities of the Durman Kingdom. This guy was a rare monster that ate three knights who could be called elite soldiers. It was Jévaudan nightmare, and the worst cryptid that reigned as the kingdom's terror.

King Durman sent out an official announcement that he would give a huge reward to those who subdue the Cryptids and all kinds of freelance wizards, wandering knights, and famous mercenaries from the continent that had heard the rumors gathered in the Durman Kingdom and started a massive cryptid subjugation operation.

Countless cryptids have died, and many hunters have died as well. People called the hunt at that time 'The Bloody Night' because the blood that was shed at that time stained the ground red.

The Bloody Night was enough to establish the reputation of many people. At that time, there was one man who left the greatest achievement. A person who defeated the most notorious monster in Jévaudan alone, and achieved the highest killing record for other Cryptids.

He was neither a famous wizard nor a famous high-ranking knight, nor an elite mercenary, he was just a hunter.

The hunter was adept at handling all kinds of tools and weapons, and for a year after Blood Night, he traveled all over Durman, killing more than three digits of Cryptids.

The name of the hunter who is also famous for not revealing his identity was 'Abraham van Helsing'.

* * *

Rudger, fully equipped, walked slowly to the side of the road.

A damp night mist fell over the coat. Around the street lamp, a hazy scarlet light spreads dimly, as if it drank water from the mist. The stench of the beast, which secretly wafted through the smell of the mud, brushed the tip of his nose.

'It's a memory.'

"Bang!"

Rudger immediately kicked a drum blown in the street with his foot.

"Kudang!"

As the drum collapsed, an intense noise echoed through the air. The werewolf, who was searching for his prey, heard the sound and turned his head. Those ferocious eyes found Rudger standing alone in the center of the boulevard.

"Crung."

The werewolf jumped from the roof of the building and got down in front of Rudger.

'Big.'

Rudger was able to take a closer look at the werewolf. His height was about 2.5m or more, his eyes were blood-drenched and his body was full of black hair.

He had sharp claws on both hands, which were so eerie that the anticipation could be felt through the skin. But most of all, what caught the eye was the metal restraint ball on the werewolf's neck.

'I wasn't wrong.'

There is no way that a beast that has lost its sanity would wear something like that around its neck.

'Someone purposefully raised or created that werewolf.'

I didn't think it was impossible. This is a world where magic exists and science has developed in a strange direction, even Hans, whom he knew, has the constitution to change into a beast when bitten.

Even if a secret organization made a werewolf as a test subject, there was nothing strange about it.

'The question is, why now?'

So far, there has been no news, but the incident happened not long after the opening of the Theon Academy? And in the year he took office? He couldn't help but be suspicious of such a situation.

'Well, if I catch him, I'll know.'

Rudger immediately took a stance.

The werewolf contorted his face, presumably displeased when the man in front of him rather than running away was confronting him.

"Ooooooooo!!!"

The werewolf let out a roar and rushed towards Rudger. A werewolf, who sprinted through the ground on four legs, was faster than a car.

Rudger watched the movement and slid behind him. The werewolf's claws cut through the air in the spot where Rudger had been a while ago.

The werewolf swung its arms non-stop but Rudger continued to back step and concentrate on dodging.

As soon as the tip of Rudger's brown shoe touched the ground, a strange wave spread out around him.

With each miss of the werewolf's attacks, Rudger continued to pound the ground with his toes, spreading waves of his magic. In an extreme situation where even a single touch could shred his bones, Rudger never allowed the werewolf to hit him.

"Wooooo!!!"

The werewolf roared and spread his arms wide. He was going to attack him in that state and hold him so he couldn't escape.

Rudger's mouth, which had been covered by the brim of his hat, smirked, the werewolf, who was about to run to Rudger, suddenly contorted his face and fell to his ground.

"Uh, huh?"

Hans, who was watching anxiously from afar, suddenly opened his eyes wide and puzzled to see the werewolf collapse.

"It will make your head pound a bit."

Rudger gently trampled the werewolf's back.

Werewolves are more like beasts than humans. And since it is part of the canine family, it is particularly sensitive to high frequencies that ordinary people cannot hear. Rudger prepared such a magic while dodging the werewolf attack.

A magic that properly mixes sound waves and vibration magic is okay for humans, but if used on werewolves who hear sounds beyond a certain band. Even now, the werewolf's ears are ringing in real time and the ultrasonic waves are still shaking the surrounding area.

"There is no need to use expensive silver or the like."

There was no more suitable method than this, since the purpose was suppression and not killing in the first place.

Now, let's check where the hell this guy was made.

It was at that moment when Rudger pulled out a syringe and was about to draw his blood.

"Beep!"

"It's here! Here comes the sound!"

"Everyone, move quickly!"

With the sound of a whistle, uniformed police officers rushed towards them from beyond the fog. The police, who had been patrolling because of rumors of a werewolf from two days ago, must have come to hear the commotion here.

'At this time.'

At that moment when Rudger had lost focus for a moment, the werewolf, who had been quiet, jumped to his feet.

Rudger hurriedly stepped back and was wary of the werewolf's counterattack, but the werewolf had no interest in Rudger in the first place…The guy shook his head a few times, then turned his back and ran away.

'This.'

Rudger sighed, dispelling the high-frequency magic that had spread around him.

As police officers carrying his magical powers appeared one by one, Rudger decided that he had to step down.

"There! There is someone over there!"

"Arrest all suspicious people!"

At some point, the werewolf was climbing up the walls of the factory to the roof, Rudger ran after him.

As Rudger was going through the dark alleyway, he felt the werewolf's presence receding and stretched his arms out into the air. The mechanical mainspring under the gauntlet's wrist turned quickly, and then a wire hook shot towards the roof.

The moment the hook was fixed to the roof railing, the gears rotated and the wire was wound at high speed Rudger used the recoil to fly to the roof. Commonly called wire launcher, it was the favorite object of Rudger when he was active as a hunter.

Rudger landed on the roof.

After pulling the wire to retrieve the hook, Rudger found the back of a werewolf running away in the distance.

'I won't let you escape.'

Rudger put magical powers around his legs. In this world, magicians also use magic to strengthen their bodies in case of unforeseen circumstances.

Rudger kicked off the roof with enhanced leg strength and followed the werewolf. The night scenery of the factory area passes quickly and the figure of the werewolf running away in the distance could be seen gradually getting closer.

While running, the werewolf looked back at something strange and found Rudger chasing him, spurring the speed of his escape.

The werewolf, who had been skipping non-stop between the roofs of the factory, jumped down onto the large railroad tracks below. At that moment, a freight train loaded with magic stones was passing underneath.

The werewolf landed rough on the cargo hold. Rudger didn't want to let him escape so he jumped on top of the cargo hold as well.

Rudger lightly patted his shoulder with his hand, staring at the werewolf. Realizing that he could no longer run, the werewolf got up and looked back at Rudger.

On top of the train, Rudger and the werewolf faced each other about three meters apart. The hem of Rudger's coat was blown away by the strong wind as the train ran.

"At first, I was just trying to capture you but now I changed my mind."

My vision was blurred for a moment as the night wind brushed my cheeks and the steam from the train's head. Through the gap, the werewolf rushed towards me.

A fairly sharp movement that takes advantage of the blind spot and pierces the opponent's loophole, however the werewolf rushing towards Rudger stopped at the strange noise ringing in his ears. It was a kind of instinctive intuition he had as a beast.

That judgment was correct as something sharp swept past the werewolf's neck at both ends.

"It feels good."

It passed through the skin of the werewolf's neck, spinning and returning to Rudger. It was a boomerang with sharp blades spread out like a fan and if he had been a little late, the sharp circular saw blade would have cut the werewolf's throat.

The werewolf quickly regenerated the wounds running down his neck. He was furious at the fact that he had been hurt, and veins sprouted from his body.

"I was going to finish it in one shot."

Rudger put his regrets behind him and took out a wand hung from his waist and held it. This time it was Rudger's turn to run.

He holds a staff in his right hand and uses his left hand to gather magical energy to use [Shining Stone] and fires it straight like a bullet at one of the werewolf's eyes.

"Swish!"

The werewolf bowed his head straight away and avoided the [Shining Stone]. At that moment, Rudger snapped the index finger of his left hand and the [Shining Stone] that passed by the werewolf turned in mid-air and hit the werewolf in the back of the head.

As the werewolf panicked by the intense pain he felt in the back of his head, Rudger ran up to the werewolf and swung his staff towards his face with all his might.

The werewolf tried to block it with both arms but a saw-bladed boomerang flew and pierced the werewolf's hands. The boomerang was thrown in advance by Rudger.

The werewolf caught the staff with his mouth and his eyes curved like a crescent moon. The moment the wound on his arm would be regenerated, he was thinking of tearing the cheeky human right in front of him but as if to ridicule the werewolf's inner heart, Rudger made his next move.

The handle of the staff was pulled and a pure white sword came out of it. The sight was so unexpected that the werewolf did not even think to drop the empty shell of the staff he had bitten in his mouth.

Rudger's body rotated once in place and a white line was drawn in the air. The light that was so thin but clear cut the werewolf's neck softly.

'Whoops. Seriously, I almost got caught.'

Hans, carrying Rudger's suitcase, walked slowly down the dark alleyway, avoiding the eyes of the police who suddenly came to the scene.

He arrived here today, but didn't get lost because Hans already had a map of Leathervelk in his head.

'You went to catch a werewolf. When are you going to come back?'

As he was thinking, something fell in the air in front of Hans. It was the head of a giant wolf that rolled to his feet.

Hans shrugged his shoulders, pinched his lips, and desperately resisted the screams that were about to escape.

"Are you surprised?"

In the darkness of the alley opposite, Rudger slowly walked out. Shoes and leather pants together with white shirt and a brown leather vest over it along with the long drab coat on the outside, and the hat on his head.

"Damn it, older brother when you show up, talk to me! I almost dropped your bag!"

"It's good you didn't."

"Is this the werewolf? Well, it's not that I'm ignoring my brother's skills, but I didn't think you could catch this terrifying guy in that situation."

After checking the dead werewolf's head with his tongue sticking out, Hans shook his body and handed the black suitcase to Rudger. Receiving it, Rudger turned his back and walked forward, Hans followed him.

"Can I leave that as it is?"

"I do not need it anymore."

"No, then why did you bring it?"

"You were surprised."

"…Did you still have in your heart what you were trying to scare your brother in the alleyway?"

When Rudger was silent, Hans sighed and raised his hands.

"I lost, so let's not do that again in the future."

"Look at what you're doing."

The two of them got out of the alleyway and came out onto a busy road where passersby could be seen to some extent.

"So what the hell was that werewolf just now? Was it really cryptid?"

"No. It was an artificially created test subject."

"Experiment? I'll have to take care of myself because the people who made it are here."

"Anyway, I have something to tell you about that."

"What to say? I am suddenly very anxious right now, can I not listen?"

"..."

"Oh, okay! Say something."

"I have to move ahead with what I originally planned."

"Original plan? No way..."

"I think this is better than the capital."

Rudger tossed two pockets at Hans.

Hans took them and checked the contents. One was full of gold coins and the other was his beast neutralizer.

"Older brother. This...?"

"Shouldn't we settle down too?"

"In this place where the secret society, Black Dawn, might exist? Even in a big city, there are gangs in the back alleys."

"Okay."

"I'll try."

"You have plenty of money, so try hard."

"Older brother?"

"First of all, I am a teacher, so I can't move freely. The president is still suspicious of me."

"So now you want me to do this all by myself?"

Rudger shook his head.

"First of all, it is important to gather important information. Who are the gangsters and the mafia in this city, and how the backstreet world flows. And how can I get a seat there? Find out and tell me."

Hans, who understood what Rudger was saying, swallowed his saliva, then smiled and nodded his head.

"That is my specialty."

* * *

Returning to the dormitory of the academy, I unpacked all my belongings. I've left Hans alone to gather information for now, but he'll be fine, his ability to gather information is unmatched.

'I will have to develop my own power in case of an unexpected situation.'

I can't move right away, so I decided to just prepare.

The president is still suspicious of me, and I'm not sure exactly what the secret society, the Black Dawn, is up to, so moving prematurely is counterproductive.

Having simply finished organizing my belongings, I sat down on the comfy sofa and replayed the events of the day.

'That werewolf wasn't a pure Cryptid, but someone deliberately created it.'

The existence of werewolves is no surprise. Monsters existed in this world as well, and they were driven out beyond the shadow barrier, which is now outside the continent, but their traces still remain.

Cryptids are a prime example of this. These beings, subspecies of monsters, are now more like urban legends or ghost stories from non-ideal occurrences of magical powers rather than real monsters.

The werewolf I caught this time is also a type of cryptid, but to be precise, it's just a fake.

'Experiments and witchcraft to create werewolves have existed since ancient times.'

There is a cursed potion made by adding various medicinal substances to the water with wolf paws and mixing it with wolf's fur, a transformation potion that allows ordinary humans to turn into a beast by drinking it. Of course, this is black magic.

Black magic is banned at the national level, so the death penalty is unconditional regardless of the reason for being caught.

'But how dare you make such a werewolf openly. Seeing that there is even a mark as a test subject, I don't think it's at the level that some power has touched it.'

Judging from the leash, did they capture a wild wolf and mixed it with human factors? The marks of restraints, as well as the traces of various experiments engraved on the corpse of werewolf were clearly the result of science.

Potions that corrupt humans and transform them into beasts are the exclusive domain of warlocks that have almost disappeared. That's where science intervened.

'Someone deliberately insisted on it.'

If so, who is it? In order to make a subject of that level secret, it requires a fairly large laboratory of the public eye. Space, confidentiality, and even experimentation, considering all that, means that a big hand who can provide a huge financial line is involved in this work.

Aristocrats, or millionaires.

'There are people in the Empire who are rich enough to be suspicious.'

I shook my head. I don't know who might be suspicious, but since I've killed the werewolf and collected my serum, I won't need to worry about this anymore.

It's a long weekend, and I don't want to get involved in troublesome work anymore. Tomorrow is Sunday, so let's take a good rest.

'More than that, I have to prepare for the next class.'

There are so many things to deal with, it hurts my head.

* * *

Monday morning marks the beginning of a new week after a peaceful Sunday.

After eating a light toast and coffee for my breakfast I went to work in my private office in the main building. Class is tomorrow, but first of all, as a new teacher, I have to show myself to go to work because that's social life.

After sitting at the desk in the office, I opened the newspaper I brought from the dormitory.

'...What the hell is this?'

On the front page of the newspaper that came out this morning, there was a single headline engraved.

[An unidentified killer appeared in Leathervelk!]

– Last Sunday, there were 5 additional deaths in Leathervelk. This brings the total number of deaths to over 10. The identity of the perpetrator has not yet been revealed, but eyewitnesses say it is a terrifying beast with black hair. Police have announced that he is just a maniac murderer and will be arrested soon, but citizens are still terrified.

'What is this?'

I read and read the article on the front page of the newspaper. This was, after all, the werewolf incident that I killed Saturday but the newspaper said the deaths were on Sunday.

'At that time, I definitely stopped his breath. And yet, when there are new victims, does that mean that there wasn't only one?'

There was a moment when I felt that things were going to be strange.

"Beep! Beep!" The translucent crystal ball placed on the work table began to flash with a strange sound. I know what this is.

'The president calls.'

Precisely, it's a kind of signal for teachers to gather.

'I have to go.'

I got up and put my coat on the hanger. Suddenly, I remembered what Ms. Selina had said during the meal last Friday.

She said there were testimonies from students that they had seen a werewolf even inside the academy.

'Victims in Leathervelk, even eyewitnesses within the academy.'

Even if I excluded the one I hunted, the number of remaining werewolves is at least two, maybe more than that.

Trying to put away such anxious thoughts, I headed to the conference hall where the teachers were gathered.

The conference hall, located on the upper floors of the main building, was full of teachers. Each of them is clearly competent in the field they teach.

As I entered, people's eyes turned to me. Most of what was in their eyes was curiosity, but I know that it wasn't for me, it was for the source code I invented.

'Mr. Rudger here!'

In that corner, I could see her familiar pink hair swaying. Seeing Ms. Selina waving her hand towards this side, I headed towards her.

'Is that person Rudger Chelici?'

'I heard he invented some pretty cool magic, is that true?'

Among some teachers, there were quite a few people who looked at me hostilely, as I was a fallen aristocrat. Their hostility and jealous gazes were quite stinging, but I simply ignored them.

As I sat in an empty seat next to Selina, she greeted me.

"Did you have a good weekend?"

"I had a good rest. Did Selina have a good rest, too?"

"Yes. I also took a really long break. Did you hear the news? Last night, two first-year students were attacked by a gangster and were seriously injured."

After listening to Selina's explanation, the situation was like this.

Last night two first-year students returning to the dormitory after going outside the academy were attacked inside Theon. It was not life-threatening, but it was a serious injury, and it was a great shock that this happened even inside the academy.

One of the students who just woke up this morning said that a terrible beast attacked him.

"The werewolf rumors that have been around since last week must have been true. It is said that victims have also appeared in the nearby Leathervelk."

"Okay."

It is difficult to dismiss it as simply seeing something in vain, and it is said that the wounds engraved on the victim's body are like being scratched by an animal.

This is probably the reason why they gathered all the teachers this time. First of all, the contract said that the teachers of Theon had to work with all their might in case of emergency.

That would mean that it would be difficult to calm the situation with only internal guards or users.

'If the opponent is a werewolf, it would be much better to send elite teachers than to pour in mediocre manpower.'

Being a teacher at Theon doesn't mean just teaching students in a normal way.

"The president is coming."

When the woman, who looked to be in her mid-fifties with wrinkles on her face, spoke, all the teachers they were conversing with became silent.

I looked to see who it was, and Selina explained it to me.

"Miss Marie Ross. She's been in office for over 20 years. Her field of teaching is pharmacy."

"Okay."

She held her position for more than 20 years? That is to say, she has great powers. As she stepped forward to sort out the situation, the other teachers kept their mouths shut.

"The president is coming."

Then the door opened and the president entered. She always looked beautiful. In addition to the alluring golden eyes, the two-tone hair of white and light pink naturally catches people's eyes.

"Good morning everyone. The reason I called this urgently today is because I have something to announce to you all."

The president went straight to the main topic without wasting time.

The mention of the rumored werewolf caused a stir among teachers as well.

"It cannot be. President, have you misunderstood? Cryptids in Theon."

It was a greedy middle-aged man who appeared to be in his mid-50s who stood up blatantly. He had his oily, turbid blonde hair neatly parted 2 to 8 and grew up to his mustache. It's like seeing an old-timer that exists in every school. However, when he appeared, the atmosphere of the meeting room changed strangely.

"Anything you want to say? Mr. Hugo Burtag?"

"This is Theon, a place that is protected by the Exilion Empire. I think the students made some kind of mistake by believing the ghost stories that were floating around."

"Mr. Hugo, didn't I just tell you there were two victims?"

"I know, the victims were both children of noble families so I don't think there is a werewolf."

Hugo Burtag took a glance at the crowd.

"I think the culprit is a student of Theon, this is commonplace."

"I beg your pardon?"

"Otherwise, of the many students, only the children of the aristocracy have been injured. Werewolves attacked this Theon? Rather, it is far more credible that some students deliberately pretended to be werewolves and started the case."

Those words certainly had some plausible persuasive power, but I had to feel something instinctively offensive by Hugo's words. He's just trying to take the president's words and pass the fault of this case on to certain students.

I looked at the atmosphere and nodded inwardly.

'Ah. I guess I get it.'

As long as Theon is an organization, the existence of factions within it is inevitable. Students are divided into commoners and nobles, but what about the teachers?

The reality is that teachers, too, have a subtle current between teachers from commoners and teachers from aristocrats.

Chris Benimore, a new teacher, refused to eat with me since I was a fallen aristocrat.

'I thought the Black Dawn would be at a disadvantage, but I guess that's not the case.'

Rather, I would not have known if Hugo was the only one who thought like that but, there were quite a few people who subtly agree with his opinion.

The aristocratic teachers were united and a faction was formed. And that faction didn't seem to get along very well with the president's faction. Even if we all work together, it's not enough for such a conflict to exist.

As I was wondering about Theon actual situation, a tiny bug crawled up the wall and climbed onto my shoulder. The moment I threw it down with my hand, I couldn't help but stop. It wasn't a worm but a small, thin piece of paper in the shape of a worm.

Fortunately, the others haven't noticed yet. I grabbed it naturally and checked the contents so that others wouldn't find out.

It was fortunate that most of the teachers' attention was focused on the nerve war between the president and Hugo.

"..."

After checking the contents, I pressed my finger on my slightly stinging forehead.

[Three test subjects escaped. Immediate capture. If not, remove them."]

I will quickly find out who sent this message and who was behind the creation of this werewolf. But the most important thing was the last sentence.

"There is a risk that the person's identity will be exposed if the subject material is stolen."

Why are you giving me such an ordeal?

I got a fake job at the academy C24: Black Dawn (1)

I crumpled the note and put it in my inner pocket.

I was troubled, first of all, I understand that Black Dawn has something to do with this werewolf incident. However, the escape of a werewolf was probably unexpected, given that I was given the order to remove him if capture was not possible.

'The problem is that if caught, Black Dawn will be severely damaged.'

If they take a hit, that's good news for me but the problem is that my identity might be revealed. In other words, Rudger Chelici has something to do with the creation of the werewolf.

You need to catch all 3 of them. No, now there are two. In other words, I have to find and catch the werewolves before Theon, and then kill them.

'By the way, the werewolves had a mark.'

Perhaps the mark itself has something to do with the guys who did the experiment. The problem is that Rudger Chelici has something to do with it in some way.

To be honest, if this had nothing to do with me, I would have just left it to Theon. But if I'm involved here, it's a different story. If caught, I die.

"Mr. Rudger, is something wrong?"

"It's nothing."

I shook my head in response to Selina's question.

First of all, it was confirmed that there were three werewolves. I got one, so there are two left, one in Theon and one in Leathervelk.

'I have to hunt them down.'

Meanwhile, the war between the president and Hugo was almost over.

"Well, it's up to you to act like that, Mr. Hugo. However, I hope that the given task will be handled seriously."

"So you are going to strengthen patrols?"

"It's not just that. We as teachers cannot sit still until the number of victims increases, and above all, late at night when all the students go home."

At that, Hugo had an annoyed expression on his face. Rather than worrying about the student, he seemed dissatisfied with the fact that a person his size had to go around patrolling.

However, the incident has already occurred, and the seriousness of the situation is also recognized by other teachers. Even Hugo was in a position that he could not openly oppose.

"The teachers should warn their students not to run around late at night. It doesn't matter if you give a penalty point for any violation of it. This is an instruction given by myself as the president. Do you understand?"

"All right."

After the meeting, the teachers got up from their seats and dispersed one by one.

I also got up and tried to go back to the office, but some people blocked my way first.

"Are you Mr. Rudger Chelici? Nice to meet you. My name is Daniel Masrak, the astrologer."

It was obvious why they approached me, the greed in their eyes said it.

"I'm sorry, but I'm busy, so I'll go first."

I immediately dismissed their interest and left the meeting room.

* * *

Instead of heading straight to my office, I moved to a less crowded warehouse.

"Come out."

If it was the guy who sent me a message in the meeting room, he would have been waiting for me to come out. It is not possible to convey all of your wishes in a few lines of messages, so there must be something he wants to say.

As I was afraid to speak, I could feel a shriek from behind the pillar, and then someone stuck his head out.

"I..."

"Tell me."

It was the Dark Dawn's member who tried to approach me after I joined Theon.

"What's going on?"

"That, so..."

She was visibly embarrassed, not knowing that she would ever see me again. Then she revealed herself completely behind her pole, and I was a little surprised to see her in Theon's uniform.

Maybe she was a student here. The reason most Black Dawn members are hiding as users is that the student's identity cannot be so easily manipulated.

In order to enter this place, you need to have the talent or skills to pass the entrance exam, if you don't know anything else.

At the time of our first meeting, she wasn't even wearing a uniform, so I didn't know she was a new student.

"Just move on. Follow me."

"Ah yes."

I took the lead, and she followed.

Something came to my mind, so I looked back at her and asked.

"Do you like coffee?"

"Yes?"

* * *

We sat facing each other in a quiet cafe. She had been shrugging her shoulders for a while, not knowing what to do.

I glanced at her. White skin and dense facial features, with voluminous brown short hair and a slightly delicate physique. I can't see her ears and her bangs are long, that are about to cover her eyes. She literally looks like a little squirrel.

I shouldn't have threatened her so much the last time we met. I took a sip of the hot coffee placed in front of me and placed it aloud on the table.

Just right.

"Hey!"

She shrugged her shoulders as the coffee cup and table made a sound.

"Name."

"Yes?"

"I won't ask you twice. Name."

"Sedina Rosen."

"Is that your real name?"

"Yes Yes."

"Isn't that a pseudonym?"

This is surprising, having a surname in this world means that you are not a commoner, but a higher class. Noble, priest or the wealthy.

Why would someone who grew up in such an environment where there was nothing lacking, had enough talent to enter Theon, but was only the lowest third order, join a secret society?

'No. On the contrary, the more you come from a family like this, the less you may be treated.'

The strangest part is that there are only third-orders with this kind of talent. Well, I'll ask about that later.

I flicked my fingers lightly.

"Tell me exactly what happened without missing anything."

"Uh, I...around..."

"I used voice-blocking magic. Even if we scream here, the conversation won't leak out."

"Voice blocking magic? W, as expected, First Order-nim."

It was really strange that she kept calling me First Order. No, to be honest, it's uncomfortable.

"First of all, you need to change the name. Don't call me First Order from now on."

"Yes?!"

At my words, Sedina opened her eyes wide.

"I am now a teacher at Theon and you are a student."

"Yes Yes."

"From now on, call me Mr. Rudger."

"How can I be disrespectful...."

"It is an order."

"Yes."

When I said strongly that it was a command, she nodded, saying she understood. However, as opposed to being mournful, her lips kept trying to rise because she was happy that she was allowed to call me by my name.

"So what is the situation?"

"Oh, yes. I'll explain everything. The recent werewolf incident happened in our Black Dawn, or to be more precise, in an affiliated organization that has teamed up with us.

I was momentarily taken aback by the sudden change in her tone of voice, but I naturally nodded.

"Keep talking. Every detail, without omission."

"Factions exist within the Black Dawn, as the First…Mr. Rudger, knows. In particular, Victor Dreadful, another First Order-nim, was the one who worked hard on this project."

"Okay."

Actually I don't know anything. I pretended to know everything, and responded to her words.

Victor Dreadful, I'll have to remember this name.

"The Shamsus School, which was created by gathering scientists expelled from the Society for conducting unethical experiments with the warlocks of the back alleys, engaged in Cryptid Experiments as they did before."

"Exactly what kind of experiment did they focus on?"

"Only a few people know that, so I'm up to that point... Oh, and by the way, when Victor asked Mr. Rudger to help him, he lent him his name."

"He only lent me his name. I never knew it would come this far."

From the reaction, it seems that Rudger was quite close with the person named Victor, but it has now become poison.

The Shamsus School must have studied the cryptids, and the subject eventually escaped, that's what's happening now.

"At first, it was their fault, so we had to let them take care of it, but in the end, one of the escaped subjects hid in Theon through the sewer pipe."

"So there must have been a victim the day before."

"Yes. This was something that our Black Dawn never expected."

"..."

"Oh, sorry. I talk too much...When I get excited, I often make this mistake. Um, like me..."

Sedina Rosen's attitude changed noticeably and passively, perhaps because she thought my stare had a different meaning.

I immediately shook my head.

"No. Unlike the stuttering when we first met, you were surprisingly good at explaining, so I just admired it."

"I'm sorry."

"You are surprisingly good at talking. Could you explain more? It was good to hear."

"I, really?! Yes! All right!"

Sedina continues the explanation as soon as I throw a few words of praise.

I sighed in relief, if she stops explaining, I can't figure out any more information. Now I had to pull out everything I could pull out while I was in Sedina's respect by putting on a shell called First Order.

First of all, Sedina Rosen is the lowest third order member in the Black Dawn, but her own abilities are quite outstanding. From gathering information to continuing the explanation, the conversation itself is quite smooth, without interruption.

The note I received must've been sent through one of her secret spells. But why is someone with this level of ability only a 3rd order?

First of all, the fact that Sedina has a surname means that her family is a pretty good place.

'Reaction that causes rejection when she says her last name in her self-introduction. That is, she doesn't like her family. Rejection? Resistance? Something much bigger than that?'

The problem is that she must have joined the Black Dawn of her own will, but it didn't seem that way to the other members.

She may be a spy, or she herself is a character with a screw loose somewhere, so she probably didn't get along well with the other members.

'Secretly sending a magic note to me, gathering information quickly and even entering Theon. Her position is low compared to her superior ability. The organization wants to throw her away after using her?'

Sedina herself must be passionate enough to swear allegiance to the Black Dawn by devoting her body and soul, but the organization itself doesn't like her. She tries hard but her situation doesn't improve and she gets bogged down further.

'From the standpoint of the Black Dawn, I'd like to have it for now, but I'm hesitant about how to use it.'

The First Order that she's under doesn't care about her. Maybe she's just trying to use it like a consumable item for a mission that requires her life to be thrown away. Her future was already decided.

'Will a Second Order take care of her?'

I just saw a crack in Theon for the first time at the previous meeting and now I could also see one in Black Dawn. There is no perfect group in the world.

'Maybe this...'

Knowing that Theon and Black Dawn both have significant problems felt like a way out for me. Hopefully I can get something through Sedina.

"Once you capture the specimen, it is better not to leave any evidence behind. Capture is a priority, but in the current situation there is no other choice but to get rid of them as quickly as possible. Since there are three, we can do our best..."

"No. Two."

"Yes?"

I took out the werewolf restraint orb from my inner pocket and showed it to Sedina.

"This is..."

"One guy was already caught."

"Damn, when..."

"Two days ago in Leathervelk."

Perhaps she didn't know that I had already caught one of the three, so her face went hazy.

"First Order-nim."

She has a very respectful expression.

"Anyway, are there two left now?"

"Yes, yes."

"You said that one hid here through a sewer pipe, so we will have to widen the search around that area. Theon doesn't know this information yet, right?"

"Yes…"

"Then I must move right away."

I said that and got up from my seat. Sedina looked up at me, wondering if I was already finished, but I thought she was rude, so she immediately bowed her head.

I unblocked the sound barrier and said,

"Sedina Rosen. See you next time if you have a chance."

"Yes Yes! That...Rudger, sir."

Sedina blushes shyly while she speaks. Looking at it this way, she just seems like a young girl of my age. How did such a child somehow end up joining the monstrous organization called Black Dawn?

"Then."

I left the cafe after emptying my coffee.

* * *

Flora Lumos was going to study at the library leisurely because it was a public class today.

In her usual way she would have pranked someone today but she recently found herself unable to sit still because a teacher ignited the magical will within her.

As she thought so, she was walking through an outdoor corridor lined with arched columns.

'Huh?'

Through the glass window on the second floor of a cafe not far away, she saw a familiar face, Rudger Chelici. But there was something strange about the man's attitude.

'Who's the girl on the other side?'

Now, Rudger, who exudes a softer feeling than usual, was talking to a girl face to face.
