Re: Love & Magic

Zevien played the video clip, and it actually showed the restaurant footage when the conflict happened.

The clip was edited as it focused on a man that was sitting at table no. 9 and looking at the conflict between two groups.

Afterward, the video clip changed, and it showed the same man multiple in different clubs and places, which matched the same places that Frad and his friends visited that night.

In the end, they hear Yowen’s voice from the clip, “I know that man as I have all information about him. To put it simply, he is an assassin. He was hired by the Dotlet brothers to kill Frad.

“Dotlet brothers had a conflict with Frad’s father, and that’s why Frad’s father gave that gun to Frad for safety. He feared that the Dotlet brothers would harm his family. So…

“Even if you didn’t go there, those four would’ve died because, in the last club, their drinks were mixed with a slow-acting poison. That assassin would’ve killed them later that night when Frad would’ve crashed his car due to the poison effect.”

“But you four made it easier for him, and if you left some clues, you four will basically become the scapegoats for this incident.”

After the video clip was finished, it was automatically deleted.

“If this incident didn’t escalate like this, police wouldn’t have investigated thoroughly,” Zevien muttered before he shook his head, “but now that the four of them died, they will investigate very thoroughly.”

“Which means that they might come to us after sniffing out something,” Dan said with a sigh.

Zevien stood up and spoke calmly, “don’t worry. Go and attend the classes as usual. Nothing will happen to us because we didn’t kill them.”

“What about you?” Vernisia asked, raising her eyebrows, “you sound like you are not coming to the classes with us.”

Zevien looked at Dan and nodded, “I will not attend the classes as I have some work to do. In fact, I will not be much seen in the academy for the next seven days. Don’t ask me anything now, but I will tell you about it after seven days.”

Dan and the others didn’t say anything and nodded as they left the dorm.

On the other hand, Zevien was going to contact Touma, but before he could, he received contact from him.

Touma—, “Zevien, a car is waiting outside for you. Enter and come to the lab.”

Zevien—, “what happened?”

Touma—, “just come here, first. It’s urgent.”

The contact was cut, and Zevien hurried outside since Touma sounded urgent.

…

After arriving at the lab, he entered inside and saw that Cargil was sitting on a sofa in the hall.

“What are you doing here?” Cargil asked as he raised his eyebrows.

“Touma-sir called me.”

Hearing that, Cargil’s face changed, but he took a deep breath and spoke, “go inside, fast.”

Zevien was confused, but he nodded and went inside.

Touma, Merax, Raven, and Blondina were inside the glass chamber, and there was a young man around 20 years of age sleeping on the bed.

Seeing Zevien, Touma hurriedly spoke, “Come here and infuse your mana in him.”

Merax was holding Lopaz’s wrist and checking something with his eyes closed.

“Put your hand on his forehead and infuse mana slowly,” Raven said to Zevien,

Zevien rushed inside the chamber and did as told. He put his hand on Lopaz’s forehead and started infusing his mana.

“Let’s hope this works because his magic eidos body is crumbling slowly,” Blondina spoke as her eyes mysteriously were glowing as if she was using some sort of ocular magic power.

“If something can work, then it can only be Zevien’s mana as he went through a similar process and had his magic eidos body transformed successfully for good,” Touma said as his brows were creased.

*Zrrrrr…*

Suddenly, Zevien’s eyes went backward as he fainted, but his mana was still getting infused inside Lopaz. His hand was stuck to Lopaz’s forehead, and his mana was getting infused in Lopaz.

“What happened?!” Touma asked.

“His magic eidos body is getting repaired by Zevien’s mana!” Blondina exclaimed.

“Check, Zevien! What happened to him?” Raven snapped.

Merax grabbed Zevien’s hand to check his inner condition.

After a minute, he spoke with an uncertain expression, “his body is perfectly fine, but his magic eidos body has some strain. His mana will be drained completely in the next five seconds.”

“So It’s only some strains and nothing fatal, right?” Raven asked.

“Nothing as far as I see,” Blondina nodded.

“It’s really annoying to see things happening that are outside of our knowledge,” Touma muttered frustratingly.

After five seconds, when Zevien’s mana was completely drained, Lopaz opened his eyes groggily, “my forehead feels heavy.”

He put his hand on his forehead only to touch another hand, “huh?”

Seeing Logan waking up, everyone sighed a relief.

“How are you feeling?” Merax asked with a grin.

“His conditions are normal,” Blondina nodded before she turned to Zevien, “Zevien’s conditions are also normal except that his magic eidos body is strained, and he has zero mana.”

“Zevien? Isn’t that the guy who succeeded in the first experiment?” Lopaz asked before he wondered, “is the hand on my forehead belongs to him?”

Lopaz turned to the side and saw Zevien hanging beside the bed while Zevien’s hand stuck to his forehead.

“What happened to him?”

“Nothing so far,” Blondina said as she was constantly checking Zevien, “without him, you wouldn’t have survived, though.”

“Oh…,” Lopaz was dazed before he nodded strongly, “I must repay this favor to him.”

“How are you feeling? Can you feel that faint trigger that you couldn’t feel before?” Merax asked with interest, “try and see if you can awaken your magic labyrinth now.”

“I…I can,” Lopaz stammer due to excitement, “I can already feel that faint trigger that I previously couldn’t.”

He closed his eyes and focused. After several seconds, Lopaz disappeared.

Everyone was startled, “what happened? Why did Zevien also disappear?”

Indeed, Lopaz disappeared as he awakened his magic labyrinth, but Zevien also disappeared.

“Lopaz awakened his magic labyrinth and went inside physically just like Zevien after the experiment,” Touma said as he drummed his fingers on the bed, “so Zevien also likely entered his magic labyrinth…again.”

“Fortunate boy,” Blondina wryly smiled, “generally, classless magicians could only go inside their magic labyrinth one time every thirty days, but he had entered three times in three days.”

“Well, that’s good for him, hahaha. Anyway, let’s go and give good news to the old man,” Touma said with a laugh.

“Yeah, after seeing Zeiven, he should have become even more worried about his grandson,” Touma said with a laugh.

…

Touma and others were right about Zevien entering the magic labyrinth again, but…they were wrong about Zevien entering his awakened magic labyrinth.

Zevien didn’t appear in Violet Spectrum Magic Labyrinth, but…he appeared in an entirely new magic labyrinth.

He awakened a SECOND magic labyrinth, which was unheard of!
