Hair study! I mainly did this to practice drawing hair ^^; and that's the majority of what I did + minor eye adjustments/changing the gloves up I don't claim this as original, I referenced Lake and Monster's Crow Cleric heavily because I saw crow. I saw cleric. I saw black hair. My brain IMMEDIATELY went to Ludger as a dark cleric??? Like??? I needed to see what he looked like in this get up so here you go.

Academy's Undercover Professor sort-of review?? Lol (Part 1) (because there's a photo limit apparently)

A few days ago, I binged another manhwa in two days. What do I have to say about Academy's Undercover Professor? MC IS SO DAMN HOT???? AND BADASS??? SIGN ME UP!

(Kind of out of context spoilers if you didn't read it and plan to? Like, just screenshots of MC? But I also comment them, so expect spoilers there lmao)

He's DAZZLING

Scary bastard

Low bun, yes sir 🫠 he's sad here, but he's so charming... hot damn

And his internal monologue is funny lmao

"Shounen protagonist," says the MC about a Harry Potter-esque character. Literally, the adventures of that trio really give me a Harry Potter vibe

I mean??

Look at that kid lmao dollar store Harry Potter at your service. Like, at this point, the similarities are funny to me

If I had a nickle for every time a fictional character borrows Moriarty’s name, fully knowing who James Moriarty is, I'd have two nickles. Which isn't a lot, but it's funny that it happened twice. Albeit, Klein only used the Moriarty part. The first name was stolen from Sherlock in his case

Even so, I bet Rudiger is not the first nor last character to do this. I fully endorse it heh. It's amusing to me

EPIC PANEL! SLAYYYYY (literally)

Professor Rudiger Chelsea, please have some mercy on us poor folk 😢 you're just too stylish

Yassss king! Be an underworld kingpin slayyyy <33

Majestic. Absolutely majestic man.

WAIT WHAT, 10 PHOTO LIMIT?? I HAVE MORE SCREENSHOTS, I'm making a part 2 lmao

ANYWAY, you get the idea. I am infatuated with this man. Nothing unusual.

Storywise, the twists and turns are really entertaining. I looked into the novel, if it was worth a read after LOTM. A lot of reviews aren't that kind, citing it is repetitive and cliché, but if it's done right, I enjoy that type of stuff. So I'm letting it marinate a bit, so it can have a good translation lmao

I adore smart, badass MCs, so this seems like my cup of tea. It's really interesting how we're 60 chapters in and we still don't know Rudiger's real name, only past fake identities. And those identities are impressive! He's like a jack of all trades, it keeps things interesting

Also, the fact that he needs to be cautious on multiple fronts really adds a bit of anxiety in the mix, it keeps me on my toes.

(His poker face is hilarious lmao)

INCOMING PART 2

Closed Heart

(aup fanfic)

........

"Have you ever think about being in relationship?"

Someone asked.

Relationship? Impossible. He thought.

He was not blind of what's normal in humanity. But with his current lifestyle he can't imagine anything related to be part of his life.

Don't you feel lonely?

He has companions. A company built of sweat and blood.

A good workers, each one talented in unique way.

Friends he can fully trust and lean on.

People who shares his dreams, and pare nothing to support him.

But that? In that sense?

He can't imagine it.

Or maybe,

He just know,

It's not like he can't

It's just he don't want to.

Because he's a man living in the past.

.

.

.

He got invited to a lunch.

Not anything strange. They're practically a co-workers in the same academy and same generation. Even if he may be rising in rank of job faster than anyone, he didn't consider the other first years teachers as him as inferior. Having a lunch together in campus's cafetaria has become a routine to him, and way of socializing that just happened normally.

Rather than eating alone in his office, eating together with other colleagues teacher has become liberation. In another sense, he just enjoyed it more than he ever speak about it.

Everyone is colleagues, treated with respect and warm atmosphere.

Everyone talk and trying to get close to each other.

And he can't help but being oblivious

sometimes relationships with others.

Because he didn't mean anything or sought anything from them.

Having lifed a life with so many faces and names, a relationship that won't last long

With his luck that made his life turned upside down so sooner or later,

he had to leave never to be seen again anyway.

If he could maka a simple wish

He just want to bask in comfort of current life's peace.

Everything would be just another routine,

If only he could keep being oblivious and ignorant of occurrences.

No, not because of frequent teasing from other teacher when asking about *his* relationship topics. Or,

Subtly not subtle act of her friend everytime he and her in the same room of occurrence.

Not that.

After few more Invitation he can't help but notice.

How the invitation is only for two, not for a many colleagues.

How he got invited to lunch but missing people while at it, and he got roped too late to find the way out.

How he got frequent visit or daily conversation from the way of his class to his office.

Or how at party he got invited to be her dancing partner.

How he got invited to half promises to attend another campus's festival next year.

He became aware

And he became afraid

It will turn to worse

And just before he decided to mitigate the risk of getting another broken apple in his life...

She confessed to him. So.

There goes away the bliss of being ignorant and oblivious.

Her sincere heart is not for him. It's not right. He didn't deserve her. Nothing is accepted, and nothing is returned.

"it's okay", "I understand" she said.

He can only pretend to not see the flowing river in her eyes.

She deserves better.

Ludger my beloved <3

Recently got obsessed with this, so here’s a quick two minute sketch lol

I made an Academy's Undercover Professor fanfic because I'm starving

I took matters into my own hands, and made an AUP fic because I needed this so badly. Plus I'm craving any kind of professor/professor work in general. So I hope you enjoy.

Academy's Undercover Professor, where Ludger does more teaching than fighting.

I'm manhwa only and I'm craaaving more of Ludger's hilarious internal monologue and snarky remarks. I also wanted him to do more teaching because his school interactions made me happiest. I also wanted to challenge myself: can I make a romance for a character like him? It never felt right to me for the AUP canon to have romance, and I thought about what kind of enigma she'd have to be to match Ludger equally. What kind of character interactions would they have? What about their character arcs? How do I make it realistic? How do I make it enjoyable for people?

Anyway, I ramble because I got excited over writing this. I plan on writing more chapters.

wish その願い

academy's undercover professor

ludger x reader

where you drag ludger out for a moment of relaxation

“… Why am I here?” 

Ludger glanced around, finding himself in a grass field. He turned to you.

“Oh come on. You have been doing nothing but work for the entire day. I am doing you a favour by getting you some fresh air!”

“I believe a favour is something one does to help the other.”

“Correct. And I am helping you!” You laughed.

‘In what way?’ Ludger wondered. He was drawing up his next lesson plans in his office when you suddenly barged in and dragged him away by his sleeve, muttering something about ‘doing too much work’. He shook his head at that recollection, and silently prayed that Sedina, the unfortunate witness, did not interpret this as a kidnapping of her superior by a fellow professor.

‘Too much work?’ Ludger himself had never thought of it this way. He was used to such a life, even before Ceoren, even before coming to this world. Back then, he had spent all his time studying. 

‘Back then, I wanted so much to escape from mother’s religious teachings…’ 

So much that he never really had a chance to- 

“Slow down and take a breath. Even if it is just for today!” Your voice chimed in his ears. 

“…!!”

Ludger’s eyes widened slightly, as he slowly turned to face you. There you were, your figure illuminated by the warm glow of the setting sun. At that moment, your hair fluttered gently against the breeze. 

That same gust of wind reached Ludger, who slightly raised his arm against it.

It was such a simple sight, even more so for someone who had travelled around this world for the past 20 years. Yet such a simple sight somehow stirred his emotions. He could only stand dumbfounded, remaining still as you made your way towards him. 

“Ta da!” You shoved a bundle of something into his face. 

Ludger blinked at the bundle of blue flowers you had gathered in front of him, its sweet scent drifted in the air. He opened his mouth to speak, but was interrupted by a tug on his sleeve.

“Come! Sit down!” You instructed. Ludger complied.

‘She’s just like Teacher…’ Ludger mused internally, recalling all those times when he had to do Grander’s bidding. 

Another tug that was now felt on his hair prodded him back to reality. Instinctively, he tried to turn around. 

“Don’t move! Or it won’t look nice.” Your voice came from behind. 

‘What won’t look nice?’ He pondered. But his question was quickly answered as he felt his hair being weaved into a braid. 

As you braided his hair, you can’t help but notice how silky and smooth it was. “Hey. What exactly did you do to make your hair like this?”, you questioned. 

“I did not do anything.” Came the reply. 

“Tch. God is unfair”

‘… She is’ Ludger can’t help but agree wryly.

“Done!” You gently let go of Ludger’s hair, and stood up for a better look at your masterpiece. 

Surrounded by tiny blue flowers, sat the man known as Ludger Cherish. His raven hair that was usually pulled back was now in a French braid, decorated with the same flowers that surrounded him. As the man turned around, your can’t help but gape at how the light reflected off his sapphire orbs. Against the setting sun, it almost seemed to glow red. A red flower in the middle of a flower field. 

“You are like a giant flower!” 

“Please don’t give me weird names.” 

“Pfft” You chuckled. You spread out your arms and let yourself fall onto the ground. With a soft thud, your landing sent some tiny petals into the air. As you inhaled the scent of the soil, you gazed at the sky. 

“Look, the moon is coming up” 

“I can see that” 

“You must lie down to see it properly” 

“There is no need. I can strengthen my eyes with-“

“That beats the fun! Come lie down!” 

Ludger glanced at you, wondering if you were serious. But when he saw those clear eyes of yours, he sighed. 

“… Just this once”. He mumbled as he stiffly uncrossed his legs and lowered his back to the ground. You stifled your laughter, having never seen a more reluctant act.

‘Oi’ 

Ludger shot you a look.

“What’s so-”

“Look, a shooting star!”

Your exclamation drew Ludger’s attention to the night sky.

As he looked up, a silvery streak shot through the sky, illuminating the path it travelled. 

‘…’

The vast darkness that he had been expecting with was now a deep blue, draped by a blanket of stars. It was as if someone had spilled a jar of jewels. Ludger blinked at the sight, trying to take in everything. At the same time, that one nursery song from his previous life played in his mind.

‘They really are like diamonds’

“What did you wish for?” You turned to face him. 

“Wish…” he returned a blank stare. 

You noticed how he had just recovered from being literally starstruck, and chuckled. 

“Then I shall go first! My wish was… ” You closed your eyes and took a deep breath, before opening them.

‘Once this is all over’ 

“May the world be a place where you can smile at in the end”

As the words left your lips, Ludger froze slightly. 

‘This world…’ 

‘Is it even possible? Will I-‘ 

His thoughts were interrupted by you, who placed your palm in front of him. In the centre of your palm was a glowing four leaf clover, it emitted a silvery light, reminiscent of the stars. Unconsciously, Ludger reached out to it. As his fingers made contact with the clover, it burst into a trail of light, scattering into the air. 

“It will certainly be the case!” You spoke confidently. “Especially so with my good luck spell!”

Your words were met with a sharp intake of breath. Then.

“Pfft” A chuckle, followed by a soft, genuine laughter.

Your eyes widened at the sight in front of you. There was the man known as Ludger Cherish, now with a gentle expression, a soft smile gracing his features. 

“Thank you.”

‘May that be the case’

Extras-

The next day on Akashic Terminal:

“Yesterday night I saw Professor Ludger walking around with a flower braid!” 

"I saw it too! He looked, quite cute?"

"Ehh? Is it true?"

"Impossible"

“… Did you guys study too much?” 

“You guys must have hit your head too hard”

“The academy's counselling hotline is right here...”

"But I saw it!!"

Meanwhile, in your class:

The students glanced down at their lecture handouts.

'Are those... petals on our worksheet?'
