C207: Delica Kingdom (3) Chapter sponsored by Raven. Thank you for your support. “Is teacher going?” “I can’t help but go since I was invited. Personally, I am also interested.” “I can’t believe I’m going to a place called a treasure trove of knowledge. That’s truly amazing! It was a place I really wanted to go, too.” “Arte, I’m sure it’s possible for you.” Looking at Arte smiling, Rudger glanced at the invitation. The date is tomorrow and he didn’t have anything to prepare because all he had to do was to go there. After all, what they wanted was his knowledge. They wanted to know how he solved the problem. ‘If you enter the society, you will have a chance to read books that are not available to the public.’ She was frustrated at the bottom of her heart because the progress of the investigation was slow, but a good opportunity came. Casey folded her arms and looked at Rudger’s figure. ‘I see. This was the reason why this man became a professor at Ordo University.’ When she wondered how Rudger, who was focusing only on personal research in the room, became a professor, she didn’t know there was this inside story. ‘More than that, his response was rather lukewarm. It’s a place where people who are involved in learning are anxious to enter even if they have to pay a lot of money, but he doesn’t seem to be very happy even if he was invited.’ The dean invited him himself. ‘And...’ Casey squinted her eyes. The most interesting thing was Rudger’s research. There was data with all kinds of various shapes and formulas that were so difficult that even Casey, who had been watching from the side, could not understand. No matter how fast the flow of dreams was faster than the actual time, it hurt her pride quite a bit. ‘I was confident that I had some knowledge in this field, but I don’t understand this no matter how much I look at it.’ The few clues show that Rudger’s research is an area that no one has touched so far and the main thing is mathematics, but it can be combined with magic. ‘Come to think of it, during James Moriarty’s time, he was called the top authority on topological mathematics.’ Until then, this study, which was called an extension of geometry and belonged to a subfield, was completely overturned by a man. The perception of mathematics known to the public was a study that handled intuitive objects with the logic of numbers. However, topology did not play with numbers like other disciplines. It was more like something beyond cognition rather than mathematics, dealing with abstraction with logic. ‘If the research this man is doing right now is topological mathematics, it’s normal that I don’t understand it.’ Topology was an incomprehensible esoteric study for Casey Selmore. Nevertheless, as a result of peeking at Rudger’s research data from time to time, he realized an unexpected fact. ‘These pictures that I thought were just figures for phase space resemble a magic spell.’ Geometry dealing with space and further topological mathematics were combined and created the space magic that James Moriarty showed. ‘Space movement, phase change, coordinate setting. What kind of magic was this man trying to create?’ She saw him use something similar during the Kunst auction house incident. The fact that he turned into a black dot and appeared in a different place was definitely spatial movement. ‘Space movement magic. That’s what James Moriarty made.’ She vaguely recalled hearing that there was a coordinate designation magic among the magic shown by the teacher named Rudger Chelici. Was it said that magic is launched from completely different coordinates within a certain range around the wizard? Although it did not receive much attention because it seemed difficult to use compared to the highly versatile source code. Thinking of it as a prototype of space movement magic, the possibilities are more than the source code’s. ‘But what the hell are you planning to do with this kind of magic?’ To say that he made it to enjoy great wealth didn’t make sense because he did not show this ability well. All that was shown was the prototype coordinate designation magic. If space magic is commercialized, the impact it will have on this world will be impossible to estimate. Even if he put his name up as the founder, he could become a great wizard who will go down in history but he didn’t. ‘Making spatial movement magic is not his main purpose.’ For Rudger, space magic was just a ‘means’ to achieve something. His real purpose was beyond that. ‘What the hell are you planning to do?’ To think that creating this level of magic was merely a process. She couldn’t imagine how huge his ambition would be after that. At start she simply wanted to look at the past of that day but she felt like things were going out of control. ‘But let’s wait and see.’ Casey comforted herself. * * * The next morning Rudger was ready to go out. “Wow. Teacher is so cool!” “Is that so?” Because he was called by the society, Rudger dressed more neatly and in an antique style than usual. Shiny shoes and black pants with no wrinkles along with a vest with a tie, and a black frock coat over it. His long flowing hair was pulled back with a hair tie, and a hat was worn on top of it. He even wore a gold monocle over one eye. “Asking for such a position when you don’t have a career or a reputation, you’re too greedy.” “Did you become arrogant because you solved one problem?” Most thought that Rudger’s requirements were excessive however Dean Gord stared quietly at Rudger as if to confirm the authenticity of his words. Rudger also did not shy away from the dean’s gaze. “Are you serious about that?” “Yes.” “That’s nice When the dean’s words of consent came out, some scholars protested but the dean spoke in a solemn voice. “Stop. I told him to tell me what he wanted, and I said I’d do it for him. This is a decision made under the authority of the dean.” “But giving him a professor’s position just for solving one problem is too much.” “Too much? Then, is there anyone here who can solve Nemar Equation more neatly than James Moriarty?” His words silenced the crowd. “I believe that this is a great achievement for those like us who walk the path of learning.” So don’t belittle your opponent by saying that you only solved one problem. Respect his achievements and treat him accordingly was the underlying meaning of the dean’s words. “Of course, I won’t give you the position of a full professor right away. For now, you’ll only have a temporary position.” When he said so the other people could not resist since people in temporary positions could be kicked out if they don’t prove their ability. ‘From the beginning, Dean Gord was going to support that man.’ Rudger is young, capable and doesn’t even have a distinct affiliation. Of course the dean would want to recruit such a talented person for the reputation of the society. ‘Rather, the dean would have thought that this man’s suggestion was right since he was going to offer him a position as a professor anyway.’ But Rudger said he wanted to become a professor on his own and the dean liked it because he wouldn’t have to do something else for him. ‘Without knowing it was his trick.’ In the first place, Rudger’s position as a professor was nothing more than a sham. Rudger wanted the authority to read the important papers written in the Central Library of Ordo University and the position of professor was just a means to it. ‘He can change his identity at any time anyway.’ For the dean, who doesn’t know the inside story, it must feel like a pie fell from the sky. Thus James Moriarty became a temporary professor at Ordo University. * * * A week has passed since Rudger became a temporary professor and news about him spread among the students and that he will soon be taking the full professor appointment test. “Wouldn’t it be okay to be a temporary professor placed by the dean?” “Well, there are other executives besides the dean.” The students headed for Monas Hall where the appointment test would take place were talking. “It’s starting.” In the darkened interior of the hall light gathered in the center of the place and a man was seen. He was a steel man who didn’t feel any tension even though there were over a thousand people watching. “Nice to meet you. James Moriarty, temporary professor.” He held a chalk and did a slight salute. “I’ll start right away without dragging on. This is a geometry formula that I’ve been working on recently.” He said so and began to write down some of the contents he was studying on the blackboard. As the people in the hall were watching at first they thought it was the work of a temporary professor who had no ability and there were many hyenas waiting to bite if any loopholes were seen. However, as Rudger continued to write down the formula, no one could come forward because there was nothing to point out. Casey, who was watching the situation by Rudger’s side, was convinced. ‘That’s why.’ Casey realized again why Rudger, whose identity was unclear, could become a full professor of Ordo. The reason was obvious and so simple, he was just too excellent. He could become Professor James Moriarty because the people of the Ordo University Association longed for the knowledge he had. ‘Knowledge and ability are power.’ Rudger has won everything on his own ability. ‘It’s not just one specific field, but all sorts of different fields.’ How on earth did such a person hide his identity and lead such a false life even though he had the ability to be treated well wherever he went? “That’s all.” There was silence in the hall. He just showed some of his knowledge and everyone had no choice but to admit it. “It’s great.” Dean Gord nodded with a proud face since the person he supported showed better performance than expected, so he was as happy as if he were flying now. “Is there anyone that has doubts?” Since the audience responded with silence to Dean Gord’s question he continued with an excited voice. “Congratulations. I wish you well in the future Professor James Moriarty.” This is how the story of the man known as Professor James Moriarty began.
