Dark Magus Returns

The spell that had been used by Aurora was a combination spell. It was something that not many mages knew about until later in life due to how dangerous they could be. Use the wrong amount of magic or wrong spells, and the effects could be disastrous.

With Raze being who he was, he had noticed it straight away. The way she was acting, the way the other student wanted to win, and what tipped him off the most was the look in her eye. He had seen that look before on others.

The bloodlust that they were able to feel in the hallway, it had to be from her, and she was going to act on it, by using a spell that would kill the others. In the situation they were in, she could claim it was an accident.

How was she meant to know that the combination of those spells would cause things to act like that? Which was why Raze was quick to act. He moved from his seat, and the barrier was the first problem.

However, there was one type of magic that would allow him to break through it, a magic that was known for its pure destruction: Dark Magic. Using it, he broke through the barrier and rushed to the other side.

The smoke had covered everyone, so they were unaware of what was happening. In all of it, though, what worried Raze the most at that time was the fact that he could only use his wind magic to speed himself up to reach Kelly.

By the time he had reached her, he didn’t have time to cast a spell; he had no choice but to grab onto her, to shield her with his own body from the spell. He could feel the magic being drawn out from his body at that moment and time.

lightsΝοvεl ƈοm His body was special; he knew he wouldn’t die, and any attacks that would harm the body would just end up drawing more mana. In that moment, the Cursed Qi pill had activated due to his Qi reaching lower than 10 percent, and with his body protecting her, he had time to cast a wind spell to block most of what was happening.

Standing on his feet, the smoke had cleared, and now Raze had his hand pointed toward Aurora.

‘Because of the stupid actions of this girl, my backup was taken away from me.’ Raze thought to himself. He still had plenty of regular Qi pills he could use to restore his mana, but with the Cursed Qi pill being used up, after a minute, several of them would have to be used to restore his body back to a certain amount, and then how many would he have left, how much time would he have left?

‘I don’t think anyone managed to catch what I did… but now my chances of getting to my vault might have been ruined. I still have a minute left; should I just?’

Holding out his hand, Raze was tempted to use Dark Pulse right there and then. The attack would go through her heart, killing her in one go. She had tried to kill one of his Dark Guild members; she had tried to attack those close to him, just like the others did before.

If he didn’t get rid of her now, then she would just do it again?

“Stop!” Trin shouted. “Family members are not allowed to get involved in academy affairs.”

The adults were shocked about what to do as well, and even Alen was standing up from his seat.

‘Damn it, what did my stupid sister do! She just attacked everyone, and she could have killed everyone. Right now, that guy has every right to be angry, but this is my sister; I can’t let her get hurt!’

There was still time within the remaining minute; Raze could use his magic, and if he did, he wouldn’t die, but then what about Kelly?

“You protected me,” Kelly said from behind. “Why… did you do that?”

Although she was doing him a favor, based on his actions, short responses, and more, Kelly was unsure anyone would risk their own to protect her. There was no one left in her life; the idea of someone protecting her, it was foreign.

“You promised to help me with my cause,” Raze answered. “So I at least have to do this much, besides you weren’t the one at fault.”action

Raze then decided to place his hand down by his side; no longer pointing it at Aurora. He could feel the minute had gone past, and now the regular Qi pills were activating to the point his body would return to at least above fifty percent of its regular Mana.

There was still a chance; there was still time to get what he needed.

“Why didn’t you help her?” Raze asked. “Why didn’t you try and save her life as well?”

When asking this question, the ‘her’ he was referring to was Kelly.

“The attack, I realized it too late. I had to make a choice, whether to save all of the students or one of them. I understand that you’re frustrated since your sister could have gotten hurt, but you should understand from my point of view,” Trin replied.

The professor was still in shock himself; he had realized what was going on, but he was surprised to see someone else had done so as well, and for someone to have gone from the stands to the platform, they had to have noticed it a while ago.

“As I thought,” Raze replied as he went to walk away from the platform back to his seat. “That’s just an excuse; you’re simply just stating that you’re not strong enough. If it was me, then I would have been able to protect them both.”

It was a clear insult to Trin, and he had to grit and bear his teeth. He wanted to shout back, argue, saying who was he to criticize him. What does he mean he could have saved both?

However, he was in a situation where he was somewhat in debt to the family member. Because if a student had died, then he surely would be punished.

‘Ah, what does it matter?’ Trin thought. ‘She’s just an orphan; the rest of these students have powerful families. If I had let any of them die, then I would have lost my job, of course I chose them.’

Now, though, the question was, what exactly was going to happen to Aurora.

“…his eyes… he was… I could feel it; he really was going to kill me.” she mumbled to herself.
