The Academy's Strongest Undercover Professor

Alexandra was MAD at me, and I had no clue why. I honestly didn't do anything against any rules, and I was quite calm during my stay in Atlantis.

The only thing that had been quite intense was the auction house, and when I questioned Lurok at the end, there was no way that Alexandra should even know about those things, so why was she acting like I had done some crazy stuff again?

"Do you realize what kind of enemy you made in Atlantis? I already got reports on it from other professors about how you made an enemy of the strongest criminal group in Atlantis."

"A report? By which professor?"

She sighed, unable to believe those were the words coming out of my mouth right now. "Are you serious? That's what you're asking me right now?"

"Yes, who told you those things about me."

She shook her head in disbelief. "Do you really think I'll tell you? I already know that you're gonna up to that person and beat him up just like you did with Derek."

"Derek? That was different. He was a fucking demon. He deserved everything coming his way without a doubt."

Alexandra shook her head. "Whatever, it doesn't matter. Why did you make yourself an enemy of the Ocean Outlaws?"

I smiled. "Enemy? What are you even talking about? I don't know who told you that stuff, but they don't know what happened whatsoever."

Alexandra took a deep breath. "Then tell me what really happened."

I was tempted to tell her, but I would much rather tease her beforehand. Wouldn't that be a little bit more fun?

I sat comfortably in the chair and brought my legs on top of the director's desk with a big smile.

"I'll tell you, but tell me the name of that professor. Is it Oliver?"

Alexandra frowned. "How do you even know that?! Tsk, whatever, it's him. Now tell me what really happened."

"Alright, alright, calm down. I'll tell you everything."

"And get those feet off from my desk!" She shouted out of pure anger. I could see fuming sitting in that chair, looking at me dead in the eyes with a frown.

Still, I kept my feet and her desk and quickly went over everything that had happened during my stay in Atlantis.

Alexandra was still mad but the anger quickly went away when I told her everything that happened. Still, I didn't reveal everything I knew and everything that had actually happened. I kept all the information about Perdere somewhat secret apart from one thing, Zero and his location.

However, I didn't mention anything about the underworld auction. I kept that a secret mentioning Zero by creating a new story.

"You really think that he was part of Perdere, that Zero or whatever his name was?" Alexandra asked with a frown, not expecting me to have gotten such valuable information.

"Yes, I'm almost sure that he is."

"Do you have any idea where he is located?"

"I got word that he was located in the North, close to the Snowy Mountains."

Hearing that, Alexandra sighed. It seemed she didn't like that location for some reason. I had never been, so I had no idea what was in the Snowy Mountains.

Well, apart from snow. I knew that much.

Still, that was about it.

"The Snowy Mountains, huh?" She shook her head. "It might be complicated to send you there with your students."

I frowned. "Why? Is it dangerous?"

She looked at me for a few seconds with pure confusion written all over her face.

"Are you making another one of your jokes, or do you really not know?"

"I swear. I don't know about that place at all."

Alexandra just sighed as she couldn't be surprised with what I knew anymore. Nevertheless, she brought out a few pieces of paper and showed them to me.

It was multiple newspapers with similar headlines.

[Disappearance in the Snowy Mountains!]

[Deaths in the Snowy Mountains!]

[An Unknown Beast is Roaming in the Snowy Mountains!]

I looked through each of them quickly and looked over to Alexandra again.

"So, yeah…what's the problem? We can still go. I thought there was some kind of restriction. Who cares about that stuff? It won't happen with me around?"

Alexandra sighed even more loudly this time around, looking at the ceiling, unable to understand what I was saying right now.

"Nothing?! There have been deaths in the Snowy Mountains, and no one has returned alive from there in literal months. What do you mean by saying that you can bring the students there?! They will die, and then all the parents of those special students will come after the Royal Academy."

I shook my head. "I think you're forgetting about something."

"And what would that be, smart ass?"

"Me." I smiled widely. "As long as I am there. No one will die. I can swear on it if that's what you want."

"No is no. You aren't going to the Snowy Mountains, and this is an order. You will stay at the Royal Academy until I say otherwise. I need to talk with the Emperor about all this."

I just nodded as I clearly different plans in the back of my mind. Just as I was about to stand up and leave her office, I remembered that I forgot to mention something.

"Oh, and by the way, I got a new student while in Atlantis. Oh, and two assistant professors."

"You got Fishman under you now?" Alexandra asked, unable to believe it.

"Tsk, three elves. It's complicated, but yeah, they are now under me."

"I see, whatever. As long as you take care of them properly, you can do whatever you want. It's not like I can stop you."

'Damn right, you can't,' I thought in the back of my mind while smiling, as I knew very well that nothing would happen to me at all. In fact, that order she had just given me wasn't something that I was planning to respect at all.
