Dark Magus Returns

Due to a series of strange events, one way or another, Raze was able to get out of his old classroom and had managed to come out of it with the special Enchanted Blazer that had been made for him long ago. He also had managed to grab the magic books continuing the different attributes of magic as well, giving him great detail on the use of spells and more. He didn’t manage to get hold of his special items that were sealed away, but for now, they would be kept in the same place.

‘It does make me worry a bit though,’ Raze thought as he continued to walk down the hallway. Back to the event he had left. He was half expecting Alen to come past him, since he had to be heading to the same event as well, but he hadn’t done so far.

‘There is a chance that Alen could choose to go back on his word. Judging by his character and the fact that he had let me go, I doubt he will, but if he knew who I was, he might be conflicted between his duty and his morals.

‘It was a good thing I didn’t use Dark Magic in that short scuffle we had.’

Thinking back to the scuffle itself, it was also good that Raze had the Blazer. If it hadn’t protected him from those attacks, then when it went through his body, the amount of mana that would have been needed to restore his body back to the way it was, he doubted he would be able to stay in the world of Alterian any longer. He could tell his mana was already on its last legs; the last of the pills had been used as well. But in order to cause no trouble for Kelly, he wanted to leave the academy the same way they had entered together.

When Raze got close to the event, he could hear the talking between people. He slowed his pace down, as he was worried that maybe Ibarin would be mingling with the guests. Although he doubted it based on his past character. He didn’t seem to like talking to strangers very much, not unless they were able to benefit him in one way or another.

He waited a few more moments, and he imagined the event had to be coming to an end, and took a peek through the door. He scanned the room, and as expected, there was no sign of Ibarin.

“Did you manage to get what you needed?” Kelly asked.

“More or less, everything has somewhat worked out in the end.”

The event had only lasted a few moments more, and the other teachers in the room stated that they would escort the guests as well as the students out of the academy. The teachers led the way, and as they left the place, a mage was standing guard and looked to be doing some type of register, looking at the guests as they left, which reassured Raze that he had done the right thing in making sure that he had left with Kelly.

Some of the students were getting in their flying vehicles, or were using other modes of transportation, while some were using the same train that they had used to get in.

For a brief moment, Raze’s eyes had made contact with Alen, who was with his sister Aurora, who had quite the smile on his face.

“Hey, can you not embarrass me,” Aurora said, hitting her brother with her shoulder. “I wanted you to do something cool today, and all you’ve been is pretty lame. Ahh! I’m not in the best of moods!”

At the station, Kelly was getting ready to leave, and she turned back to look at Jake; she was about to purchase two tickets for them like they had done before, but she noticed that he hadn’t been following right behind her, like they had done so far.

Taking a few steps back, she soon went back to him. “What’s wrong?” She asked.lightsnovel

“This is where the two of us part ways again,” Raze replied.

With everything that had happened today and spending the full day with someone for the first time, Kelly had almost completely forgotten that the Dark Spirit needed to go. That this day, where she would have someone right by her side, wouldn’t last, that it was always meant to be a temporary thing.

“We will meet again at the regular meetings, and don’t forget the task that I have given you. It will be quite important,” Raze said.

Kelly nodded, but she wanted to say something else as well, something that she was a little too afraid to say but had decided to anyway.

“Thank you for today,” Kelly said. “I know you came because you needed to do something, but today, you did things that you didn’t need to, and had to pretend to be my brother, so I have to say thank you.”

Raze was happy to hear those words; it reminded him a lot of the times his students would thank him when he helped them with their issues as well. In a way, it was what he had enjoyed; it was problem-solving. Whether it was to do with the world of magic or not, he enjoyed the challenge.

“I have something to say to you myself,” Raze added. “The path that you wish to take, I have been down that path myself before, and I don’t think it is a good one for you to choose. Because, there is a big difference between me and you, who had both lost everything back then. You are still young; you still have time to make relations with people that will continue to be by your side. People that will be willing to bring you out of the Darkness. I want you to do me a favor. If you ever find a light, someone that is willing to bring you out of the Darkness, then take it, take that hand, and forget about this world. Forget about the Dark Guild and leave it, because the longer you are in it, the harder it will be for you to leave before you can never escape.”

Raze could feel his body weakening, and before he could even hear a response, he needed to go. He had to rush off, as he ran away from the train station, heading to somewhere private, away from the eyes of others for his body to disappear.

While looking at him, the words, Kelly truly was listening to them.action

‘Well, maybe you are my light,’ Kelly thought.

A short while after the appearance at the Central Mage Academy, Ibarin had quickly left because there had been a call.

He was currently in a pitch-black room; there was no light and no way to see who else was in the room, but Ibarin knew that there were only five in the room.

“I have called the Grand Magus here for no small reason. It seems that there is word of a name being spread around in the world of Pagna.

“I’m not sure if it’s anything we need to worry about or some type of coincidence, but there is someone there known as the Dark Magus.”
