Dark Magus Returns

The mask was placed back onto Dame's face, transforming his looks back to his student self known as Pink.

The group had reached the portal entrance where they had entered from and they had one more person with them, Cronker from the Crimson Crane.

A member of the Crimson Crane that hid in the shadows attacked with his dagger and was well known for his assassination styled arts.

'If it's him, he should be able to stay out of trouble, and even if he's found, he should be able to escape.'

"I believe my job is the highest-risking one here," Cronker said with his arms folded. "Therefore, when the Dark Magus is awake, I shall be the first person to request a new item from him."

Nodding along to his own words, it was the only thing that would somewhat satisfy him.

"Everyone remember, they're most likely to investigate the dimensions that we entered. Each one of you is to state that you faced a member of the Lethal Bite Clan and managed to come out alive," Dame announced.

It might be hard for them to believe that the students managed to beat full-fledged members of the Lethal Bite Clan, but in the cases of some of them, it was true.

It was also the only way to explain the death of the guards by each portal, to pin the blame on the Lethal Bite Clan.

If they tried looking for answers, it would be impossible because the Head and Vice-head of the Clan were dead.

Once they found this out, this was where the problems would start, but at least they would buy some time.

'I still haven't achieved the Middle stage just yet, but I can tell I'm close. I need to breakthrough before any of this kicks off,' Dame thought, stepping through the portal.

Once they had reached the other side, Cronker said the last few words to the group.

"Try to stay together; otherwise, if you're in trouble, I won't be able to protect you." Just like that, right in front of them, it looked as if Cronker had disappeared from their eyes.

But they were sure he was around somewhere watching them all.

"Man, I hope we get to be that skillful someday," Tinson commented. "Watching everything has been quite amazing."

'System, did you manage to catch that?' Liam asked.

[Negative, the user's skill level is too low to catch the movements. I am limited by the user's perception skills]

'Are you saying I suck too bad?'

[Affirmative]

'If you had balls, I would be kicking them right now.'

Walking back to the academy, they all had to admit they were nervous. Their leader in a way, the one that was in charge of this pushback against the academy, was in some type of coma.

They were nervous to say the least. Sure, they now knew that Dame was some type of powerhouse, but could that save them if they were made suspects?

Eventually, they had reached the Academy, and the staff at the front looked at each other for a few moments with raised eyebrows.

"Where are your respective guides, why are you all together!" The staff declared.

"An emergency matter has come up," Dame replied. "We met each other on the way, after being startled; we would like to report this matter to the Vice-principal!"

Dame was very careful with his words. He wanted them to think this was a matter not too important for the Principal, but of importance that the Vice-principal would be asked to come out.

On top of that, the Vice-principal knew the history between the Lethal Bite Clan.

One of the staff members had told the group to wait outside, meanwhile another rushed in to get more information on the situation.

A short while later, he had returned.

"Follow me," the staff member stated.

While following the staff member they walked across the large courtyard, and in the distance, they could see the other students, the new first-year students training away.

They were practicing the first skill books they had gotten from the library. Just a few months ago, they too remembered being in their place.

It felt strange that they were doing this, while they were always fighting with their lives on the line.

They carried on forward until they had reached the main academy building. Then they continued until they reached a large empty hall.

The hall was filled with dark tiled floorboards, and upon entering they could see Mada and Ricktor present, standing there with their hands behind their back.

At one end of the hall, there was the Principal Murkel, the Vice-

principal as well as Gunther as well.

The students stood next to the others and started to line up side by side.

"These two only arrived a few moments before you, and they stated that they had something to report as well," Amir, the Vice-principal, commented. "Please inform us why you were not escorted back by the Erupting Fist Clan members."

The others looked at each other glancing, too nervous to speak. It was in this situation where Dame felt he needed to take the lead and take charge.

"There was a situation in our dimensions. We did as asked, and when entering we were fighting against beasts, but for some reason while in there, there were other members inside."

"I was attacked and found out that they were from the Lethal Bite Clan. I did my best to fend them off and managed to defeat them."

"When exiting, I found that the guards as well as our escort had been killed. I was worried for my classmates and rushed over."

"We eventually met up, and it seems that they were all in similar situations."

The Principal and Vice-principal seemed to be taking in what was said before eventually asking another question.

"And to you, Mada and Ricktor, is it the same, did you experience the same thing?" Amir asked.

They didn't answer immediately because going into this they didn't know what to say. Mada was ready to repeat the words that his brother had told him, but the situation had changed.

"It's true," Mada blurted out.

"It is the same for me. I found the Clan's symbol on their clothing. The Lethal Bite Clan targeted us for some reason," Ricktor answered.

Hearing this, Murkel let out a big sigh.

"I will run an investigation into the Lethal Bite Clan. This is unacceptable. I will try to get an answer from Feebie and see what she says about this, but I have a question, have any of you seen the student Raze."

The group swallowed their saliva that was building up into a lump before every one of them shook their heads.

"This could mean he is still stuck in the portal," Amir stated. "I am a bit worried about it. Feebie seemed to have a grudge based on what had happened before. I wonder if this is the reason why she sent her clan members to go against you."

"He is an important student for us. If I may, I would suggest that I go into the dimension to go look for him." Amir suggested.

"Agreed, bring him back quickly, and see what's up," Murkel ordered.

Dame was a little worried, would the Crimson Crane now have to go up against the Vice-principal?

'Well, who knows, maybe we'll be able to just take them out one by one this way as they investigate.' Dame thought.contemporary romance
