Dark Magus Returns

Sabrina went ahead and recalled everything; she remembered every last detail now that she had gotten her memory back. She was investigating the warehouse that belonged to the Noble Guild and what she had discovered in all of those crates.

When she turned around, the last person she expected to see was Idore. He didn't say much to her but placed a round item on top of her head. After that, she couldn't remember anything, apart from waking up in the park and losing her memories.

"There were so many crates there! We've uncovered a bigger operation than we thought. This isn't just simply selling illegal substances to kids, with how much supply was there, they could be sending this all over Altieran!" Sabrina said.

"Just calm down for a moment," Raze said, gesturing for her to sit back down. The two of them had been sitting as Raze heard everything she had to say.

"Alright, I know it's just... you see these things happening on TV all the time, I just never thought I would be involved in it," Sabrina said.

Raze didn't like this at all. Everything made sense to him now, the strange feeling he had. How could anyone catch Sabrina by surprise with her magic skills, the only answer was for someone to be better skilled, and there were few who matched that criteria.

Now that it was clear it was Idore, another 8-star mage, it made sense, but right now, Raze didn't want it to make sense, he didn't want it to be him.

"Was Ibarin and Idore working together then, or did Idore's product just happen to come into contact with the school?" Raze started to wonder.

"It could be possible that this is his Guild's doing rather than his own," Sabrina clicked her fingers afterwards. "That wouldn't make sense why he cleared my memory then. It's clear he wanted to hide this fact. But still, it's hard to imagine, right?

"I mean, Idore is world-famous, head of the Noble Guild that has a boatload of money due to his enchanted items, would they really need to sell illegal items as well to increase their markup?

"I mean if this was found out, it would ruin his whole image of being a noble, and I just can't see Idore doing that."

Images flashed in Raze's mind again, causing him to touch the side of his head as if he was going through a migraine.

'That's not true at all, although many on the outside would see it that way, including you, Sabrina, I know that he is capable of dark things, something like this would be child's play compared to what he did in the past.'

In the end, Sabrina let out a big sigh. She knew it would be tough, if she went out there and made a report, the police would do next to nothing.

They would laugh it off, thinking that it was just some delusional mage trying to get their five minutes of fame.

"I just thought of something, I don't think if we reported this anything would happen, but what if someone of equal influence reported this," Sabrina suggested.

Raze wasn't quite understanding what she meant.

"What if I talked to Gizin. He's also one of the most influential people in the world because of his healing products.

"If he was to report this it would be taken as a serious matter. These problems are going on with companies that he is dealing with. He will be more inclined to investigate the situation so it doesn't fall on him.

"I know him well, he's done a lot for me and trusts me, so if I get to speak to him and convince him I'm sure he'll help out," Sabrina said.

She was excited by her plan and development, but when looking at Raze he didn't seem to share the same excitement, and instead wasn't even looking at her in the face.

"I think…we should just forget about this whole matter," Raze answered. "Let's not drag ourselves into this when we don't have to.

"Right now, Idore thinks that you have lost your memory. He thinks that his operation is safe, and while he thinks that we are safe as well from him doing anything to us."

"What!" Sabrina slammed her hands on the table. "Don't you have any backbone! He removed my memories, if it was anyone else, then they might have been lost forever.

"He also might be the person behind ruining your life. We have to go after him, we have to do this. Are you scared, that you might have to fight him, that he might attack us, you're an 8-

star mage as well you know!"

Sabrina was practically huffing and puffing at this point she was so vented up with frustration.

"I am scared," Raze admitted as he turned and looked at her directly in the face. "I don't care about what happened to me, I don't care

about it anymore. The one thing I'm scared about more than anything is losing you!"

Sabrina immediately sat in her seat after that and folded her arms.

"Ah crap, and now I feel bad, when you put it that way and say something so sweet…"

——

After much discussion, in the end, Sabrina had agreed. That the two of them would leave the whole thing be, that they wouldn't go to Gizin or the police, and forget that this whole thing had ever happened.

The next day, Sabrina was at work as usual. She had her hands on a giant square tablet which doubled as an interactive screen.

Several designs were placed in front of her, along with information on enchantments and what could be used and what was needed.

Higher-tier products needed her own involvement because it needed a high-star mage to perform them. At times, even Gizin would be required, since he also was a light magic-based mage.

It was said that those with Light Magic cores were kind-hearted people that was how they got said cores when learning magic in the first place.

"Sabrina are you okay, you haven't touched the screen for even a second?" one of her work colleagues said.

"Yeah sorry, I just got a lot on my mind," she replied back.

She was thinking about things, the anger inside her was building up. Because of Idore, Raze had to go back to the academy and get the book.

He had to revisit the place that had tortured him for the last few months, and now, they would be tortured again and again.

She knew Raze was a pushover, a person who needed to be forced to do things. She couldn't believe that he had done something and knew how hard it would be for him.

'I'm sorry Raze but this is something I have to do, for my sake and yours, I don't want you to keep living in guilt over me, I will make sure everything goes away.'

With those thoughts in her mind, she exited out of the room and ran up the stairs. She then gave a knock at the main door, until she heard the words 'Come in.'

Letting herself in, she was now looking at Gizin.

"I have something to tell you, sir."
