Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 445 You Are More Special Than You Think

Raze looked to the Vice-principal and noticed him straight away. There were a few run-ins while at the academy that the Dark Magus had with him.

What he didnʼt know was why he was there and what his involvement with everything was in the first place.

ʼDoes he know about the fact that we killed Feebie? If he does, then doesnʼt that make him the enemy?ʼ Raze thought.

The only reason why he was still calm at the moment was because the Crimson Crane werenʼt reacting either. It seemed after everything that had happened, no longer did anyone want to fight anymore.

”I came here in search for you,” Amir stated. ”When the other Red Headband students returned, they had informed me that members of the Lethal Bite Clan had aimed for their lives.”

”I had assumed that they would aim for yours as well, and with you not returning, it seemed I was right. I knew Feebie had a direct grudge with you. Do you mind telling me, did you happen to see her?” Amir asked.

Before answering, Raze was trying to measure everything up. Sure, the Crimson Crane were exhausted and tired, but if they truly had to, they could muster up something.

Looking at Amir himself, he didnʼt seem to be in the best condition either. The issue was that Raze had used up a lot of Qi as well. The move, although devastating, using all of the ten steps, was not something he could do repeatedly.

”Your lack of answer already gives me an answer,” Amir said. ”She was always too rash when it came to these situations.”

”If you hadnʼt done it, then it would have been done by someone one way or another,” Amir said, letting out a big sigh.

Raze was a bit confused. For such a large matter, the killing of a head of one of the five main clans in the Dark Faction, the reaction was abysmal. It was as if he didnʼt really care.

”Whatʼs your part in all of this? Judging by the reaction of the others, you were the one that killed the Dimension Boss. Why did you personally come just to get me, and why arenʼt you shocked by everything thatʼs happened?” Raze asked.

”Didnʼt I say that we had a lot to talk about?” Amir replied.

”Your growth has become outstanding to me honestly, and that was the real reason why I decided to come fetch you.”

”You see, I bet you yourself donʼt really understand how special you are, do you?”

Hearing this, Razeʼs heart almost skipped a beat. Too many thoughts were going through his head. Did Amir know that he was the Dark Magus, or did he know about the fact that the current body he had wasnʼt really his?

”I can see the confusion on your face,” Amir said and looked over to the Crimson Crane members. ”I have said this to you before, that there is so much in this world that you really donʼt know about. I thought you, Raze, were a bit different with you being a member of Alter.”

Immediately Raze took a step back and magic started to swirl around his arm. Those that knew about Alter were two types of people, the ones that were in Alter itself, or those in the Bonum Society.

Right now, Raze was trying to keep the power of his dark magic a secret. So if that was the case, he would have no choice but to eliminate Amir.

”Calm down, do you see me trying to start a fight with you? I have changed my view while observing you many times,” Amir explained, raising his hand.

”I knew you were part of Alter, the moment those other two showed up. They should have been more careful, or perhaps they were trying to figure out who was a part of the Bonum Society in the first place.”

Razeʼs eyes widened; it was as he expected. This man, the Vice-principal of the Dark Faction Academy, was part of the Bonum Society.

ʼI should have expected this, if Alter is a large organization that has its hands everywhere. Then the ones that Alter are weary of, the Bonum Society should be equally as big.ʼ

A memory had entered Razeʼs mind, though, of the night he was attacked.

”Was it you, were you the one that had sent that person to kill me, and that letter?” Raze asked.

Amir looked at the ground for a moment, averting his eye contact before turning back.

”That was to be expected, after all, Iʼm sure you have figured it out. Our two sides have been at each other for years.”

”I couldnʼt have someone spying in our academy right under our nose, but I want to make things clear. My stance back then, and my stance right now has changed.”

”Tell me something, Raze… are you from Alterian, or are you from Pagna?”

The question Raze was trying to figure out. Why was the Vice-

principal asking such a thing? Did it matter what way he answered? Would it change something?

If anything, with Amir being a part of the Bonum Society, maybe he could get the answers he was looking for.

”I… am from Alterian, I am a mage,” Raze answered.

This was what the members of the Crimson Crane had expected as well. Most likely he was a mage with the things he could do. After all, no Pagna warrior could do such a thing. freewebnoveℓ.com

Apart from the Light Faction Elder they had witnessed.

”I expected as much. You see, that was the mistake I had originally made, and this is why I was saying you are more special than you realize,” Amir went on to explain.

”I originally thought you were someone from Pagna working for Alterian. Sending in reports where you could, but as time went on strange things were occurring.”

”You, a Pagna warrior, were growing at an exceptional rate, you were winning more fights than you should have done, and things were happening that didnʼt quite make sense.”

”But thatʼs when I got my answer, perhaps it was because you are not a Pagna warrior, but you were a mage from Alterian. But this was so hard for me to come to a conclusion to, do you know why?”

While listening, the only thing Raze could think of was that it should have been a simple conclusion. Especially since Amir already knew about mages and Alterian.

”As I thought, you are a very confusing one,” Amir said, scratching his head. ”Itʼs as if you have been chucked in the middle of all of this with no explanation as to what is happening at all.

”Did you only join Alter because they were the first ones to find you?”

It was a rhetorical question; little did Amir know how right he was. Raze was in the middle of everything and had no idea.

”Those from Pagna are unable to learn magic. If they do, then the Qi in their body will strike their heart,” Amir explained.

This explanation matched with what Raze had experienced with Safa. She had nearly died, and if it wasnʼt for the fact she was learning light magic…

”Similarly, those from Alterian are unable to form a true Qi dantian. However, they can use mana to supplement their Qi, allowing them to still use martial arts.”

”But what this means is a person is only able to perform martial arts or use magic; they canʼt produce both of them together.”

The realization had hit Raze; why Amir had been calling him special.

”But you, young child, after watching you for so long, and seeing what you just did. You are able to perform both correctly, you have a magic core and a dantian,” Amir stated.
