Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 308 The Handsome Stranger

Chapter 308 The Handsome Stranger

The soft voice of Raze's had caught the attention of many who were in the front row. They had turned their heads to look at the one who had claimed Kelly to be his sister of all things.

Immediately, as judgmental people they were, they had decided to look the stranger's body up and down. They could see that he was well-clothed. They fit well onto his body, and his body was in spectacular shape. 

Next, when looking at his skin, it was practically glowing with next to no impurities; there didn't seem to be a mark on his skin, and even though his hair was colored white, it looked incredibly healthy and vibrant. 

They had never seen such a glowing person enter the room, and his appearance stood out nearly as much as Aurora's brother, Alen. All of this was because Raze had the body of a Pagna warrior. 

Although Raze didn't realize this himself, but Pagna warriors were quite handsome and beautiful compared to their Alterian counterparts. This was because of the way the Pagna bodies worked as one would advance through the stages. 

Each time impurities would exit from their body, making them have less of a human body, and in doing so, as Raze went up the stages, his body was becoming closer and closer to that of a Divine being.

Seeing this glowing person, the students at the front row couldn't help but whisper:

"Hey, did you see Kelly brought a hunk with her?"

"Wait, doesn't that mean she brought a family member? But I thought she was an orphan."

"Aurora told us, remember, that the town she was in, they were attacked by the Dark Magus. So many people were killed, and her mother, I think she killed herself or something."

"Wait, how did someone like that get in a place like this in the first place then?"

They were quite shocked to see Kelly bring someone. Many of them expected her to bring no one, and the person she had brought stood out quite a bit. Naturally, they were curious as to who he was.

Aurora's eyes were darting across the room; she could hear all of the others talking. The attention was on Kelly and the stranger, and it wasn't good at all.

"Well, are you not going to introduce him to your classmates then? It would be good for us to get to know each other, right?" Aurora asked.

Kelly was hoping that when they entered the classroom, no one would pay them any bother. That the two of them could just walk and head to their seats at the back. What she didn't count on was that Raze's appearance would attract so much attention. 

Maybe it was because she knew he was a Dark Spirit, and not a real person, she didn't feel the same way as the others. Or maybe it was because she didn't have the time to care about one's appearance like the others did. She didn't quite foresee this happening.

"I had given him good clothing because I didn't want anyone to look down on him. If he wore some shabby clothes, I could already foresee Aurora saying all types of crap," Kelly thought, shaking her head. She then gestured her hand out toward Raze as she introduced him.

"As I'm sure many of you know, I have no family, but the person to my side I treat very well, like family of mine. Jake was in the same situation as me; he is from the same town as me and lost everything. The two of us have gotten close to each other, and ever since, we have treated each other like brother and sister. He is my older brother, of course," Kelly explained.

Hearing this brought a smile to Aurora's face again. Because she had learned that the person who had been brought was of no significance, just like Kelly herself.

"I see, well, it's a shame; I thought that maybe our families could connect with the others. Share information of what we know, and maybe talk about the new magical theories that are being implemented in the military and their uses. But I guess all of that would go over your heads. Why don't you just take a seat at the back and relax?" Aurora said with a smile.

Once again, the students who were standing close by to Aurora couldn't help but giggle away. The parents and family members that were with them didn't seem to even care about what their students were doing.

"Magical theories within the military?" Raze replied a little confused on this note.

Seeing this, Aurora nudged her brother, who was in the conversation with another, to get his attention.

"Brother, you were talking about these new magical tactics that are taking place in the military?" Aurora asked.

Alen looked at Raze, and looked at the people around; they didn't seem to be the type to be interested, but since his sister was asking, he thought he would just blabber on anyway.

"Well, the situation is quite complicated. In the past, a country's might was dependent on the powerful mages they held. In turn, there was then the creation of the mage academies as well as the Mage's Guild, and finally the creation of the Grand Magus.

"The Grand Magus now somewhat keeps a leash on the Guilds that try to support individual countries. Although nearly everyone in Alterian can use magic, just because one can use magic doesn't mean one is a mage.

"Because the Grand Magus is somewhat forbidding Mage Guilds to take part in battles, militaries around the world are getting mages to help in other ways that won't break the code set up by the Grand Magus.

"Magical theories are a term the military has started to use as a way of thinking up ideas of ways magic can be used in the military."

"Such as enchanted items?" Raze commented.

"Correct," Alen replied. "Mage advisors are being brought on to think of ways of helping the military to its best without breaking the rules. Now, the better advisor one has, the better the strength can be."

"Bullets could be enchanted with freezing spells," Raze commented. "Magic circles could be placed on bandages allowing Light Magic to be used as well to heal the wounded. It certainly would change the wars between countries compared to before."

A slight smile had appeared on Alen's face this time. He had never spoken to someone who was so interested in this topic, and had even come up with an idea that he hadn't thought of himself, such as the Light Magic circles.

"Ah, it looks like the class is about to begin," Alen stated. "I would love to pick your brain a bit more; hopefully, we have more chances to talk in the evening."

With that, Kelly walked past, along with Raze as they went to their seats, leaving Aurora a bit dumbstruck. That wasn't what she thought would happen at all. Many times, her brother would just sigh and wave the other person off once they had no clue what he was talking about.

"Aurora, that person, he seems to have a lot of knowledge about magic," Alen commented. "It would be good if you became friends with her."

Hearing these words, Aurora had to bite her lip; she was shaking with anger. 'Friends with her, I would never, with that wench.' Her fist was shaking.

Alen turned around to have a look; because the man named Jake looked quite young, at most he had to be in his twenties, yet he knew so many formations and different uses of spells.

As Alen was one of the youngest five-star mages, he was quite competitive, and he kept track of all those that were of a similar age that were close to making the same achievements. So why did he know nothing about this person in question?

From his upper pocket, Alen pulled out a device, and he started to text away to his agent.

[Look up what you can about a Mage named Jake. They would have to be a 4-star mage at least, around the same age as me, and get back to me... oh, and he has white hair, that should be a dead giveaway.]

It was a few more minutes before the lesson would start and things were starting to settle in. That was when he received a text back.

[Need more information. Because at the moment, based on what you asked, no such person exists.]
