Academy’s Undercover Professor

Mr.
Rudger is the teacher in charge of the second grade, right? It’s unusual among new teachers.”

Rudger nodded.

“Even so, there are more students in the first grade.”

“Oh, that doesn’t matter.
Anyway, Mr.
Rudger hasn’t even worked for a year and although you adapted quickly you still lack experience.
That’s why…….”

The president was finally getting to the point so Rudger focused on her.

“Would you like to go to the planning department?”

President Elisa’s proposal was very unexpected.
She wasn’t asking him to reveal his identity but was giving him a new position.

“If it’s the planning department…….”

“To be exact, you will be one of the evaluators belonging to the planning department.”

“Me, an evaluator?”

“Yes.
You know that there are several affiliated organizations in Theon, right?”

Rudger nodded.

Theon was equivalent to a city so there’s not just the space for the students to study.
Residential facilities, living facilities, and rest facilities all exist.
There were even laboratories, administrative offices, central libraries and training centers.

Although it couldn’t compare to Leathervelk, Theon could be considered a small city but when it came to internal infrastructure Theon was comparable to a large city.
As a result, there were departments that shared various tasks.

One of them was the “Planning and Evaluation Department” where Elisa wanted to send Rudger.
Although the name might sound like nothing, its power was enormous.

It was in charge of performance management, self-audit, external exchange, and department evaluation.
However, their biggest authority would be ‘budget management’.

It takes a lot of money to do research and conduct classes and the planning office distributed those funds.

Rudger was suspicious since the president said she was going to let him into the planning office.

“May I ask why you made this proposal?”

“Actually, that seat in the planning office has been vacant for a long time.”

The president spoke in a casual tone, but it didn’t make sense to simply give him a seat.
The planning office is not an easy place to enter and even among teachers, only a person with experience and excellent performance would be admitted.

‘You’re going to put me in that important position that I can’t obtain even if I want to?’

Besides, from what she said, she didn’t seem to have consulted with others.

‘There are many things that must be done in the planning office but they also had a huge amount of power within Theon.
Even if I’m in charge of school administration, all I have to do is approve important documents and I can hire personnel to do the rest.’

Several teachers aimed for that position since they could gain strength in Theon but the president said she would give it to him under her authority.

‘You’re suspicious of my identity, but you’re giving me authority.’

It was something impossible to do unless a person was quite crazy.

‘You’re saying that you’ll purposely give me greater authority and watch me closely.’

Rudger had no choice but to admire the president.

‘Cause that’s how you reduce variables.’

She evaluated his track record and ability shown so far higher than his uncertain identity so she chose to give him more power and keep a closer eye on him than to limit his power and isolate him.

Was she so confident that she could control everything?

“What do you think?”

Elisa asked with a smile.

“If you just say you want to do it, I can push through with the president’s authority.”

“Does the president gain anything by doing that?”

“Me? No I don’t but Mr.
Rudger will.
People have to sit in the seats that match their abilities.”

“I see,” replied Rudger calmly.

The president’s actions are nothing more than gnawing at her own flesh.

How could she force a new teacher to sit in a position that others coveted for almost a year? There is bound to be a backlash and the first thing he thought of was Hugo Burtag.

The man would try to denounce the president as a tyrant and the same would go for the other teachers who supported the president.

Among them, there will surely be people who are skeptical of the president’s decision and jealous of Rudger.

Nevertheless, the president suggested it and she is not a fool that would make losing deals.

‘It’s because even considering all that, her gains are greater.’

Since she will get the talent named Rudger Chelici.

The president smiled on the outside and her eyes shone on the inside

‘The better you are, the more I want to keep you close.’

Dangerous?

‘That’s why I’m keeping him by my side.’

If she puts him near her, he won’t do anything dangerous.

She knows what others will say but so what? It is true that they have the ability to enter Theon but they have also overestimated their abilities.
In particular, the aristocratic faction led by Hugo, has been present for too long.

She couldn’t let those people flourish anymore when she was tired due to outside intervention so she needed a knife to cut them out and the most suitable one was Rudger.

He was a sharp sword that could cut anything and she would cut out the internal problems with it.

Rudger understood the president’s meaning as well.

‘The president said I won’t ask your origin or identity.
Instead, let’s work hand in hand.’

She was a great woman and made a choice that he wouldn’t make unless he would be out of his mind.
That’s why he liked her.

After all, the two knew each other’s situation well but they wouldn’t bother to say it out loud.
Because they were better than anyone else, they know even if they don’t talk to each other.

‘Theon’s president, one of my greatest treats, will protect me voluntarily.
This is an excellent development.’

Since the president reached out to him, he had one less thing to worry about.

Rudger, who finished the judgment, calmly opened his mouth.

“Your suggestion is very fascinating.
I’m even grateful that you made this offer.”

“Oh, really? I’m glad you liked it.”

“Yes, so in addition to your suggestion, I will give you a better opinion.”

“What is that?”

Tell me, the president’s golden eyes were saying so.

“It is not enough for me to be an ordinary member of the Planning Department.
If you give me the position of head of the Planning Department, I will accept it.”

Elisa’s smiling face cracked for the first time.
