Chapter 823: Why Are They After You?
Although Himmy's wounds had been restored, the rest had decided to give him some time to rest before they further questioned him. Giving him food among other things so he could be back in complete shape.
At the same time though, Amir had ordered one of the Bonum Society members to keep guard at the door. Many of the core members had risen and spread throughout the faction including that of the academy.
Although Himmy was part of Alter, he wasn't from a world with specific powers and only had a strange weapon known as a gun. Still, Amir wouldn't take any chances underestimating him. "He should be alright in there, right?" Amir asked.
Raze and the others had left the room, and had headed to a tea room stationed around the Zen garden where Safa would regularly come. It had a sliding door that opened out to the garden which was currently open.
Most of the group were sat at the tables including Raze, while Dame and Amir were both standing by other entrances. With their backs against the wall, both of them were keeping their senses sharp about them.
It was clear they were uneasy about the whole situation.
"You placed a guard that you trust to look over him," Raze commented. "He should be fine, unless Alter is already in the academy itself and is targeting him. As for himself, I doubt that he will try to escape, but if he does then, there is a chance he could find a way out."
"He said to me once that he was a detective, and he seems to be a smart person."
"Right Alter, that group that has been brought up a few times in the past," Dame said. "An organisation of otherworlders and I'm guessing that he's one as well, but what he said about these Deleters that the group have, do you think it's true."
"That the organization has such strong people that they could wipe out entire clans? I mean, wouldn't we on Pagna, the clans know about it at least. The Demonic Faction certainly don't know about those capable."
"Did you guys know about us and our strength?" Amir asked. "Alter has been gathering items, powerful items from other dimensions for years. They have done so with the goal of protecting Pagna, and many of them have joined them thinking this is the case."
"Because of that, they haven't exactly been using these items freely, if they did it would go against their goals and people within the organization would question them. But if they hand these items to a few powerful people all under the guise of their goals, then I can see it."
"I said before, due to all of your help and continuing to stay by my side I will tell you what I can, and it's up to you to decide." Raze said. "If you were to mention the name Dark Magus to anyone from Alterian, they would instantly know who I was."
"If my name was mentioned, then fear would strike all of those that heard it, wondering if I would be around the corner. The name I obtained was because I used Dark magic, a magic that is banned in my world."
"It was a power that I learned, to get rid of those that did me harm, those known as the Grand Magus. I believe they are also involved in all of this mess in Pagna, but I just haven't connected the dots."
"I continued using the name the Dark Magus here in Pagna, hoping that it would ignite something and it seems it has. So a link has appeared between the Grand Magus and Alter. Since they are after me, I guess I need to do whatever I can to stop them as well."
"What did the Grand Magus do to you?" Safa asked.
Raze opened his mouth about to answer but then he stopped. "It appears I'm not ready to relive those moments myself. Maybe when my anger has been quenched slightly I can tell you the full details. But I can tell you all one thing, the man in front of you is not a good person... we are on the same side. None of you have wronged me, so there is no worry though." Liam started to think of the times he saw Raze have a hint of anger. He was starting to imagine what he might have done in Alterian, but didn't dare to casually ask further.
"So for now, we should follow Himmy's warning," Amir said. "I will ask the society to be on the lookout for any people that don't fit in."
"What is there to worry anyway, I'm sure the Deleters' powers will have been exaggerated," Liam commented, waving his hand.
"Right, but you have to know that even the past Dark Faction leader was worried about Alter," Raze added. "Anyway, whatever we do, let's not attack Alter."
At that moment, entering into the academy area was a group that had never been at the academy before. They were wearing the regular Pagna clothing, thin and soft on the skin, but the way they were observing the place, it was quite clear they were outsiders.
"So we need to gather as much information as we can right, about this Dark Magus person?"
One of them asked.
"Right, and I think I know the perfect place," one said, pointing to the sign. "They say that information passes regularly through these types of places, but what a strange name for a place... the Perfect Noodles shop."
