Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 302 The Central Mage Academy?

Chapter 302 The Central Mage Academy?

Kelly felt her knees weaken a little; she almost fell straight to the floor when she heard the request from the Dark Spirit. From what she knew, the Dark Spirit was a creation of the Dark Magus that continued to do his bidding after he left.

So why, of all places, did he want to go to the Central Mage Academy, the academy which she was currently attending? She wondered for a moment if the spirit maybe knew her identity, but as she calmed down, taking in a deep breath, she realized, based on the way the question was asked, that it wasn't possible that was the case.

"The Central Academy?" Harvey repeated. "That is a difficult place to enter. Not even I think I could get you in there without reason. On top of that, although you might have strong Dark Magic skills, if you were to venture into a place like that and someone found your identity, you would be killed on the spot. There are far too many high-ranked mages there."

Raze already knew this, and it was a risk that he was just going to have to take. In the end, if his spirit form was killed, it wouldn't affect him, but the reward of the items he had left behind was something he needed now, if he wanted a chance of taking on the academy and the main families of the Dark Faction.

"I'm not sure where we currently are," Raze replied. "I understand that it will be difficult to get into the academy, but there are important things at the academy that are needed in order for the Dark Guild to thrive."

Harvey was thinking hard; he wanted to help the Dark Spirit, but at the moment, he couldn't think of anything. "The Central Academy is not far. One can take the Blink Train there, and you could get there in about an hour. The main issue is entering the academy itself, where I can't help."

"I think I might be able to help in that department," Kelly finally spoke up.

She had been silent for a while because she wasn't sure if it was the best thing to do. With her just being a student, she wouldn't have been able to get the Dark Spirit in, at least not the way he was before.

However, with his body in the form it was in now, he looked just like any other person, and there was an event that the school was happening where guests could arrive. This was perhaps the only chance the Dark Spirit would have, and it was a way she could help.

"This matter might involve revealing my real identity," Kelly said as she turned to Harvey and gave a small bow.

Harvey knew what she meant by this. One of the rules of the Dark Guild was to not reveal one's real identity to each other. Although Harvey knew the identity of most who had joined the meetings before since he had invited them, he didn't know the real identity of Kelly since she was invited by another member who was now dead.

Because of this, the two didn't know each other's real identities outside of the Dark Guild.

It was important for them to use the tools of the real world to help them in their pursuit in the Dark Guild and their goals, and to do that, they needed to do everything they could to keep their identity a secret.

With this, it was less likely that they would be caught, especially for using things like Dark Magic.

"I understand. I will continue with the task I have been doing before. We will have a meeting again at the same time and place. Hopefully, there will be more of us that are able to aid you, Dark Spirit," Harvey said, as he bowed down and had decided to leave the area.

The two of them waited a while, and Kelly made sure that the area was clear before she went back to talk to the Dark Spirit. She seemed to be cautious even about the other Dark Guild member.

Raze felt like it was actually a sensible thing for the woman to do. To not trust anyone, and that would include him who was using her.

"I do have a way I can help you," Kelly said. "But, it's important that we don't get found out in any way. The use of Dark Magic will be forbidden; otherwise, both of our lives will be taken."

After saying this, she was wondering if that was even possible anyway. Wasn't this just a spirit? Could it even die? Really, the only one that was risking her position was herself.

"Doing this means that I will have to reveal my identity to you, and I wish for you to keep it a secret from the others. At the same time, the only way this would work is if people are able to see a face of yours as well. Is that possible?"

Since Kelly was unable to directly see what the Dark Spirit looked like, she didn't even know if it would just be flows of magic. So before telling him everything about the plan she had come up with, she needed an answer first.

"That is certainly possible," Raze answered. If it was the same situation as before, he wouldn't have tried. Too much magic was leaking out of his body, and the teachers would have noticed something was strange in a heartbeat. Although the leaking of magic still existed, it was in small amounts.

With the help of the light blue Qi pill, Raze was sure it would be impossible for other mages to trace it, unless they directly touched his body. After all, mana was all over the world, so it wouldn't be so strange.

"Alright," Kelly took a deep breath again. "I am currently a student at the Academy. So I have no problem coming in. Usually, guests aren't allowed to visit either without getting pre-proven permission either."

"However, tomorrow, there is an open day at the academy. Students are allowed to bring family members to the event. If you want to get into the Magic Academy, your best bet will be to come with me as a fellow family member to tomorrow's event."
