Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 564 Healing The Truth

After getting everything he needed, he held the pile of books and scrolls in his hand and decided to head to the office. It would be a long time until Ibarin would find out he had taken books from the prohibited section.

Hardly anyone checked the books in that place. Even when entering, it was only to place another book there. With the Central Academy being the place it was, with many of the most talented mages in the world gathering in one place and being lectured, there was a high level of security.

The only reason Raze was able to get in was because he had met the principal himself, Ibarin. With his talents, he could possibly sneak in, but it was far too risky.

And one had to remember that Raze was an 8-star mage. A number that could be counted on both hands, which was why it might have been only something he could have done.

With the keys in hand, he headed to Ibarin's office, checked to see if he was in before entering, and found no one present, which he was at least thankful for.

Ibarin purposely didn't turn up, perhaps because he didn't want to see Raze again, and the feeling was mutual between the two. After placing his keys away, Raze continued to walk around the rest of the Academy, and before he knew it, as if on autopilot, his legs had taken him to his old classroom.

There wasn't a lecture going on in his old class specifically at the moment; it was completely empty.

'Did my legs just guide me here out of habit? Now that it's recognized where we are, it's taken a step in the same building?' Raze thought.

Wandering in, he looked to see if much had changed, but it was nearly all the same. Everything down to the last detail. He hadn't been gone long, after all.

There were some differences though, the items he had on the desk were cleared. The posters that would be placed on the walls, everything that had been set up in his way, had been removed, leaving no trace of Raze, as if he was never here to begin with.

'Originally, I was so obsessed with finding out why Ibarin had done all of that. Why had he taken away my perfect life, my joy of research, and teaching the students that same joy.

'I would go out every day searching for an answer. I was so fixated on trying to get my old life back… I nearly lost Sabrina as well.'

Having taken a glance at the book, Raze was confident Sabrina would get her memories back. So he would have her by his side again, but he had nearly lost her, the old her.

Whoever had removed her memories, they could have easily killed her afterward, and that was something he didn't want to happen.

'Sabrina is the only person that has come into my life, after everything that happened in the past, as long as she is okay, then everything will be fine.'

——

Getting back to the apartment, there was a sigh of relief that had overcome Raze. He was worried that Ibarin might have ordered the local police or a guild to take care of him, reporting the fact that he had come back to the academy, but there was no such thing that had occurred.

Maybe because if that did happen, then there would be an even bigger case or report on the Academy's hands and that would just fall back to Ibarin's incompetence.

Raze was already imagining the headlines, a single mage manages to force the principal to his demands, enters academy. That would only look bad on him.

'Maybe I should have just done something like that.' Raze grinned to himself, but quickly shook his head at such foolish thoughts.

Entering the apartment, he was happy to see that Sabrina was still there. She had a smile on her face as she saw Raze.

"It looks like your mission was a success then!" Sabrina said.

"Yes." Raze answered as he placed the pile of books down and handed over the one that she needed.

"It looks like you got more than what you needed." Sabrina said.

"Ah, these are just for my own research. Not being part of the academy anymore, it's the first time I've been able to study something that's so in-depth." He stated.

Sabrina got to work opening the book. It would take some time understanding the ins and outs of the spell. Especially a high star one. After that, she would actually have to draw up the magic circle, and possibly get the items required for it.

According to Raze, it shouldn't be too much of a problem because Sabrina had a large amount of wealth accumulated from her job to use.

"You know Raze, I just have to tell you, I'm looking forward to getting my memories back. While you were away, I looked over the photos again, the future me… if that is the right term… I guess not really, but anyway, she looked really happy, and I can't wait to experience that again." Sabrina said as she stuck her head back into the books.

In the meantime, Raze had decided to pick up the few books that he could find that talked about Dark Magic as well as the scrolls. Some of the books were passed down techniques, talking about a few spells here and there.

One of the books was done by a past professor that leaned more into the side of researching Dark Magic. It talked about the basis of having a Dark Core.

The reason why Dark Magic was outlawed, and many people knew this, it was the requirement for one to get a Dark Core in the first place, or increase their affinity in getting a Dark Core.

'This does make me wonder, even just learning a little bit of Dark Magic, seems to throw mages off. According to the spells that I have seen as well, Dark Magic has a basis of destruction.'

'It's almost a magic that is exclusively used for battling… and killing.'

Looking into it more, what also interested Raze was in the research, it was stated at times that Dark Magic research could even be found in other dimensions.

In particular, there were talks of finding Cursed items that had a side effect when being used on the user in some way, and the link to Dark Magic with that.

Looking up, he could see that Sabrina was already drawing the magic circle on the ground. She was a quick learner and had already figured out what needed to be done.

"Wait, aren't any items required?" Raze asked.

"Not for this spell, I can just use my light magic. I'm not enchanting anything and my powers should be sufficient, I have a lot of Mana after all. Anyway, all is done… I have to say Raze, if there was one thing I was thankful for, it was meeting you all over again, and getting to fall in love with you again, I can tell you are a kind-hearted man." Without giving a chance for Sabrina to reply, she activated her magic and the circle started to light up.

It lit her own body, overcoming it with a bright glow that soon started to fade away along with the magic circle, and Sabrina opened her eyes.

"Did it work… Can you remember me!" Raze said with excitement and worry.

"It worked." Sabrina answered as tears rolled down her cheek, but they were tears of happiness between the two of them.

Quickly, Raze came forward and the two embraced in a tight hug. They held onto each other for a while and slowly started to waddle as if they were doing a dance.

"I thought I might have lost you forever, I'm so happy that it managed to work." Raze said. "I'm sorry for ignoring you that whole time, I'm sorry for you having to deal with someone who just felt bad for himself. I was just being selfish and never thought about you."

"Raze… I know what you are like, I know no matter what, you will always look out for me." Sabrina answered. "But there is something I have to tell you, I remember everything… including what happened to me."

"And the one that got rid of my memories, it was the leader of the Noble Guild, Idore." She answered.
