Dark Magus Returns

Naturally, after obtaining one of the bracelets, Raze wanted to get the second for inspection. He wanted to see if they matched up or possibly question the students about who they got the items from.

However, the mirrors were constantly following him, listening to what he said, and at the same time, he doubted that students at the low level would know much of anything.

However, when he had finally reached Charlotte, the loud alarm had gone off, and in an instant, the Light Faction warriors had all come around him.

One pointed a sword towards his throat, two to his side, one behind his back, and there were a few warriors that were standing on top of the maze wall staring down at him as well.

'These guys were quick. I noticed them coming, but I decided to leave things be. They didn't have any killing intent in their Qi; they were just here to stop me… I guess there are some things that they deemed as fair as well since they came as soon as the event was over rather than during the event, but that might just be because they're being watched by everyone,' Raze thought.

"It's okay, like you said, the event is over. I won't do anything else; I will head back to the viewing area," Raze said.

Yet, the Light Faction warriors didn't say anything. Instead, the maze started to sink back into the ground and was returning to normal.

All of the participants now could see what was happening; they could see Raze surrounded by the blades pointed at his neck.

Meanwhile, other Light Faction members came to the members and started to gather the crystals they had gathered, including picking up Harmon from the ground and starting to escort Charlotte away.

"They should kill him!" Cicle shouted from the viewing booth. "That man is a danger. It's clear his power is not that of a typical student. He must be a Clan Head under some type of disguise."

"We should get rid of him now before he causes more mess."

"Are you trying to declare an all-out war right now?" Ricar replied. "If we attack the Demonic Faction, the others will get involved, and there's no telling that the Dark Faction will just sit by and do nothing. That isn't a smart move."

"It will also show that we're afraid of his power. Besides, it's not the way the Light Faction operates."

After the two Light Faction warriors returned along with the others, the adult warriors finally dropped their swords, allowing Raze to head back as well.

'That was a close one; I thought I might have had to have gone all out. I even saw Alba and Anna getting ready in the crowd; it's good to know that they're ready to act at any point in time.'

'It's also good to know that they didn't ask me about the bracelet I took; not that they would be able to find it on me anyway,' Raze smiled.

When returning, the adults from the Demonic Faction were all smiling at him. Raze thought for what he had done, what he had shown, maybe the faction would be annoyed at him for almost starting a fight, but instead, they seemed pleased.

"That is what you should have done from the beginning!" Sha Mo stated; even he had a big smile on his face. "That is someone who truly is acting like a Demonic warrior!"

Lince had also approached Raze, giving him a small bow stating his thanks; he couldn't do more than that because of his position. It would seem strange to thank someone so young.

"I'm happy to know we have one more useful person for the single matchups at least," Mantis commented, leaning up against the wall with his arms folded.

"I was worried I would have to take them all out myself."

Although Raze showed his power right there and then, there was no need for him to show it in the individual matches either, and that was even if they got to that stage.

"Anyway, I wanted to ask," Mantis said, looking at Lince. "Through your information gathering, I thought the student we most needed to worry about was this White Dragon person."

"But I haven't seen them… at least not anyone I know."

Lince placed his hand on his chin and started to rub it a few times.

"The only thing I can guess is that it's one of the three from before; maybe it's the girl that we didn't see act. We should look out for them in the next events, and try to find out anything we can before the individual matches."

Raze moved away from the two that were having the conversation. He found it strange when they were talking about the White Dragon, and they would never get to see the White Dragon because the White Dragon they were talking about was with them.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are here to announce the results of our second event!" The announcer claimed. "After recounting all of the power stones, we have the results."

"In first place, it's the Dark Faction. For this event, they will be awarded with five points, giving them a total of 8 points currently!"

"In second place, we have the Demonic Faction!"

The room was quite surprised to hear the result. They didn't care about the actual points, but more so their appearance in this event.

Beret was then seen rubbing his head as Raze looked at him knowing full well that he wasn't the one that had gathered the points.

"I did as you asked; I ran and collected as many power stones as I could. It was the only thing I could do after you helped me out," Beret replied, his cheeks turning a little red.

"In last place, we have the Light Faction, only earning them a single point!"

"Which means, as we currently stand, the Dark Faction is in the lead with 8 points, followed by the Light Faction with a total of 6 points and the Demonic Faction with 4 total points!"

The crowd clapped out of respect, but they weren't loud cheers; it was quite clear who they were supporting.

"We will now take a long break before the next assessment; please come back for the next event!" the announcer claimed.

As soon as Harmon was brought in, he himself had asked to be checked by a physician. After the results of his check, the elders as well as many others were told to come in as they had heard the news.

Eventually, even the Clan Head from the booth above had entered the room. He could see Harmon lying down with tears running down his face.

"What's the result," Cicle, head of the Illumination clan asked.

"It appears… that his dantian has been damaged; there is not a trace of Qi, nor can he cultivate Qi into it… in the state he is in now, he will never be a Pagna warrior again."

Cicle's whole body was shaking, and rather than taking out his anger in the room, he turned around heading back out into the hallway.

'That damned Demonic Faction student, who is he, what does he think he's done to my clan! I will do everything I can; I will find out everything about him and eliminate him before this tournament ends!'
