Chapter 323: A parting gift

Dark Magus Returns

Breaking through the shelves that were stacked with books at the very end, Raze could see it hung up on a model doll. It wasn't a robe like he would often wear, but it was a uniform, a black blazer with light white trim that had a number of different symbols and designs that went over the shoulders. It was similar to what Raze was wearing now, similar to what Kelly had asked him to wear.

'Who would have thought, I always said that you had the worst taste when it came to fashion, but it looks like everyone has started to follow your trend now as well,' Raze thought as he inched closer to the uniform.

He looked up at it for a few moments, wondering what the best thing to do was. This wasn't just any blazer; this was a specially enchanted blazer. It wasn't strong in the same way as the other two robes that he had in the cabinets. This blazer was still strongly enchanted; it was at the mythical level. It was an item that wasn't sealed, meaning he could wear it, and with its strength, it would allow Raze to have some extra power to fight against his enemies. But it was special to him in more ways than one.

'This was made by you; it wasn't made with my tainted Dark Magic, with the idea of killing, but instead, it was made with Light Magic, with the idea of protection.'

It wasn't sealed away because at the time, Raze felt like he had no right to, but it was important to him, and he didn't want anyone to take it, so he tried to hide it even further than anything else.

Now, it was the only thing, other than the books, that he could use to help him in his cause.

"I guess it is something that needs to be done," Raze thought to himself as he went ahead and grabbed onto the uniform.

Right there and then, he thought it was best if he changed into it. He removed the clothing that he had received from Kelly and placed it back onto the model. Then he replaced the blazer jacket that was in a similar style but a different color and design and hung it above his shoulders. It didn't fit very well at first, but the enchanted magic started to do its thing. It expanded in size slightly before gently laying on top of his clothes, then it shrank down until it was a perfect fit on his body.

As soon as it touched Raze's skin, he could feel the power of the enchanted blazer flowing through his entire body.

'I don't have Light Magic to allow it to show me its effects, but I remember what it does,' Raze thought as he continued to walk out of the room.

Upon doing so, he picked up the books he had placed to the side and stored them away inside the special storage in the blazer. The blazer had a similar effect to the robe that Raze had enchanted. It allowed him to store items away in it; however, the amount of items that could be stored wasn't limited like that of the robe. Raze could store as many items as he wished as long as they were non-living items. There was an exception to this as well; if they were magically enchanted items, he could place them inside the blazer as well. So items like a large shield that was bigger than the robe itself or a spear, if they were enchanted, he could place them inside.

So it was a more powerful version of his robe, and since it wasn't made with Dark Magic, it didn't have the downside effect of needing to be fed crystals.

'I guess with the robe, I could always hand that over to one of the others; I'm sure they can find some use for it as well,' Raze thought.

The other effect of the blazer was also granting him an energy shield. Just like the robes of the mages Raze had fought against that were able to block a number of spells, Raze's enchanted blazer had the same effect but was at a much higher level.

'The blazer could also protect not just mana-based attacks but physical attacks as well. So even a swipe of the sword from a Pagna warrior can be stopped.'

Lastly, there was one more effect, an added trait for one using Light Magic, and that was that the blazer was able to heal the user considerably while they were wearing it. If attacks and wounds could get through the magical barrier created by the blazer, then it would just heal him, and it was at a considerable speed as well. To the point where one might think he was immortal due to how fast wounds would heal. It truly had earned its status as a mythical item, just for that effect alone.

'The blazer that you created for me, as a gift for our wedding day, is now helping me out now more than ever,' Raze thought to himself.

Walking out of the room, Raze had now returned to the room that was filled with all the other items. Unfortunately, with the seal, even with the blazer, Raze was unable to store the items away.

"It looks like I will have to come back for you all another time. Perhaps, when my real body returns to Alterian, you can be used, and the first place I will use it is to topple down Ibarin's empire that he has built right here and now."

Raze went ahead and started to draw the magic circle on the ground again. When he was done, he placed both of his hands together, using his Dark Magic; the cabinets started to disappear, all ten items that he would use in a future time. Eventually, all of them disappeared, and he was left again in a dark, pitch black room.

'I still have mana left; I still have time. I should try and make a final appearance with Kelly if I can. It will avoid her from getting into any trouble.'

'The event should be over soon, so I won't run into Ibarin,' Raze thought.

Magic was cast on the exit door again, and the doors slid open. When Raze stepped forward, they slid again, closing behind him.

Now the classroom looked the same as it did before, as it always did; it was just another classroom to everyone in the outside world.

"Who would have thought that there was a secret room in one of these classrooms? You know when I went to Central Academy, they always talked about secret rooms being in this giant place, but of course, they were all rumors, so who would have thought they were true after all."

The voice came from Raze's left side, and immediately he turned his head. He saw him exit from the place; someone was following him. If that was the case, this was bad news not just for him but for all the items and Kelly.

"I decided to follow you; it seemed you left the event in a hurry. I was just going to ignore you, but something kept hitting me in the side of the neck, telling me that there was something about you," Alen said.
