Chat Group For Magicians

Chapter 138: Escape and New Plan

It was all too sudden for the female magician that she immediately retreated away from us after being zapped by the lightning all of a sudden. I didn't expect her to die from that but to see her survive a lightning strike means she already surpassed the human realm limitation a human possesses.

"Cursed brats! This is not the last time we will meet each other and by the time we will meet again, you all will become rotten corpses! I will kill you all!" and after that, she disappeared.

The black taboo also dissipated like dust as it scatters into the air mysteriously after the disappearance of the magician. Perhaps the Black Taboo is connected to that woman? There is no answer. But it was evident that the battle has now ended as the mirror world starts to shatter and repair itself back to reality...

...

In the end, the mission was deemed successful and unsuccessful at the same time. Successful because the cause of the Curses and the ritual that ruins the students has finally been removed. Unsuccessful because of the losses and with the fact that Yaya is now blind, fighting now will prove everything to be difficult. Yaya can still be cured but the potion needed for her recovery is still not available so it will remain like that until the time of the potion's availability.

As for Raigaki, Yaya resealed his broken seal so there is no more problem in the meantime but just as always, he has to be muted for quite a while. Kuma is also in a mess but I think Yaya will be able to repair that guy. Godou got serious injuries after forcing himself to push himself further in the battle. He has to rest for 3 weeks for a while due to this.

Now, as for me...

Although my result is undetermined yet, the experiences in the battle against the female magician are quite a big one even for me. I also realized that my body is having a hard time fighting against her. Despite not fighting head-on, she was a formidable opponent., Her ranged attacks are annoying and her ability to defeat the enemies just by touching a spell or something that belongs to them is also quite alarming. I might be more of a user in melee magic and semi-range magic skills which is why fighting against ranged enemies like her has proven it to be a challenge. If I have to be a magician that is versatile in things like melee and range magic, I have to get stronger.

...

While Kazuma is steeled to practice his magician skills, the council of magicians that are formed by Voltaire and the others who participated during the reclamation of the Phantasmal Reality has gathered on the lounge except for Yaya and Raigaki, and Godou who is injured in the battle. Moonlight is also not present due to the matters on her family so only a few participants in from the war last time are gathered.

"Looks like the pawns of "Shadow" has finally made a move. And from the looks of it, they are stronger than the last time we faced them," Voltaire said as he sips coffee from his table.

"How many years has it been since we have a face-off against the forces of "Shadow? 20 years? Or more than that? If they managed to injure Yaya who is experienced in many battles already, they might have gotten stronger than before or they might have found another source of dark magic to leech upon, causing tremendous amp on their powers," Catmod said.

"It's getting dire and now they are involving normal people to the war. It won't be long before they will also drag the normal people and use them for their dark dealings. They are too active in the neighborhood and crippling their dealings one by one seems to not work that much. They also managed to recruit some magicians to their cause which is now getting troublesome to handle, "Tsugimoto added.

"If that was the case, are they also responsible for the demons to cause rampage every day? Lately, the apprentice magicians have dealt more than 20 dens of demon lairs disguised in many business buildings. They have been slowly merging with human society at a fast pace. Should we consult these matters to the higher-ups?" Rena looked at the others.

"No. Zacharias and the others have plenty of problems they have to face already and if they help us again, their troubles will never end. It's best to handle it ourselves and only call for their help if something dangerous that can threaten the city. We are senior magicians and handling these matters should be enough," Voltaire explained.

"Still, it is quite a proof that Yaya and the others have been toppled and almost got killed if they have been careless enough. We shouldn't underestimate those guys. Their abilities are strong but they are almost defeated. Which means we have to get stronger more than ever. If they managed to resurrect "Shadow" once again, the war that was prevented a few decades ago will occur again, "Catmod said calmly.

"Magic wise, we are a bit advance than them since we also rely on magic tools but in terms of firepower, their magic is somewhat on a dangerous side. They can fully destroy our barriers and kill us. Aside from that, they have rare ability traits like what Yaya's group encountered. If all the rouge magicians who have sided with "Shadow" has these kinds of abilities, we will be having a hard time. Which is why we need to make sure we are up to the tasks. Practice your magic skills and bodies everyone. Dying is not an option," Voltaire said before adjourning the meeting.

All of the magicians except Voltaire and Catmod are left in the room. Catmod licked his fur before looking at Voltaire.

"Are you sure that is the better course of action? You already know that the situation is much more dangerous. You didn't even reveal the situation the councilors are dealing with the others. Will that help everyone avoid the same fate as Yaya does?"

"You managed to see those things huh, old man. As expected of a cat," Voltaire smirked as he pulls out a cigarette from his pocket and stood up from his chair.

"When you reach my age, perception is one of the things we old people have the most enhanced ability. Which is why we can easily spot anything wrong. So back to the question, why are trying to hide the real info?"

"There is one of those secrets we can't just let go of that easily. They might be seniors but they are still not ready to handle the truth," Voltaire puffed out a thick smoke to the air as he looked into the window.

"Heh, I am looking forward to the time where it will all backfire to you, Voltaire," Catmod said before disappearing like the thin air.

...

5 days passed by. The revolving curse ritual disappeared after we made a mess with the original creation which is most likely the woman we fought against during the quest we needed to destroy enemies causing the curses. I have returned to classes and Godou also managed to return to school. Moonlight is still busy with her family affairs and is currently excused.

Due to the outcome of the battle where we barely survived, Godou is now hanging out with me more and drags me with his physical training especially after school.

"Let's get physical Kazuma! If we don't practice our physical strength and body, we will never be able to be strong guys!"

"Eh, you are certainly buff enough to do things in physical terms but do I have to do that? I am already practicing back at home though, isn't that enough already?"

"Push-ups and other kinds of exercises that can be done indoors are always not enough! We should get real PHYSICAL!" Godou grinned and tap my back.

"Alright, alright. So, are we going to a gym after class?"

"What are you talking about? I already told you indoor exercise is not enough. Going to the gym might help bodybuilders and the likes but we are not showing off our muscles, we are going to use them for our battles! We have to do it real hard!"

I don't have any idea what kind of exercise he is talking about. Running on the streets during the afternoon is fine but I can run for how many hours without getting tired already due to how my body got trained to supply energy using excess mana to avoid losing stamina immediately. When the last bell rang, we met at the entrance and left the school together. People might find me odd for hanging out with Godou who is famous in the school as one who hangs out and commands delinquents but I don't mind. After all, that was just the guise of Godou.

"What are we going to do? Don't tell me we are going to run a few kilometers?"

"If we are going to run, we should have done that on the field. We are going home first and drop our bags and uniforms to avoid it getting dirty. Also, you should change to something you are comfortable to move around. We will be moving a lot later on."

After dropping our bags and changing comfortable clothes, we meet up again but this time, we returned to school. It's already dusk and the gates of the school are about to close already.

"Why are we back at school?"

"Just wait for a bit," Godou said and led me to the track field. Are we going to run or something real?

"Let's wait till it's already 6 in the evening. It will tick in after 5 minutes so let's be patient," Godou said.

Even though I am so confused at the moment, I decided to wait. When the bell on the school started ringing as soon as the clock hit 6, Godou grinned and looked at me excitedly.

"Activate your Mana Scan Kazuma!" 

Even though my Mana Scan already transformed into [Insight], it is still similar to [Mana Scan] so nothing is wrong with it. The moment I activated my Insight, I was surprised and did not expect this to see in the middle of the track field.

"What the hell? Why is there a G.A.T.E.S inside our school!?"
