Chapter 245 The Second Of The Dark Guild
Separating from the other robed figure, the woman had exited from the underground facilities as well. She was rushing and turning a blind eye to the things around her.
It was more upsetting than she realized every time she came to this place, and a lot of it was because the scenes reminded her of her own hometown, which she had grown up in as well.
'The surface is not much of a better place for you people. It needs to be fixed before you come up there,' she thought.
Exiting from the underground sewage system, she didn't take off her robe immediately. In the alleyway she resided in, she was looking at the wall by her sides. She was skimming it with her hand until eventually running her fingers, she felt a slight edge. Then sticking her hand onto it, somewhat like glue, she pulled, and a large slab of the wall came off. Taking off her robe, she soon placed it in the slot on the street, then lifted the large slab and placed it back.
As for the clothes she was wearing underneath the dark-colored robe, she had a light blue dress on underneath. On top, a small blazer that reached just down to her ribcage that was light in color.
The woman in question had short brown hair that only came down to around her ears. It equally went all around somewhat like a bowl was on top of her head. For most, it might have looked like quite a ridiculous haircut yet somehow it suited her. Maybe it was just because the rest of her facial features were that outstanding that it felt like any type of haircut would suit her. She had a relatively young-looking face, one that was clear and many would assume full of innocence.
The last thing one would expect from a baby face like hers was them to be a user of Dark Magic, but she had her reasons.
The woman's name was Kelly. She was currently heading to one of the transport stations, where a flying train would take one to several destinations, and she was looking for one in particular.
She soon got on a large square device that had multiple seats on board. Paying her fees, she sat by the window and just stared out as it lifted into the sky. She could see all the lights from below, the people enjoying themselves, and some even putting on magic shows, firing off fancy displays that looked like fireworks.
'It's been a long time since I thought about the past,' Kelly thought to herself. 'That Dark Spirit, is it even possible? I've never heard of Dark Magic being able to create a summon before, or a puppet that could be used with its user so far away.
'But then again, the details of Dark Magic haven't been greatly researched either. But it makes me wonder if that really was a Dark Spirit, the details he explained, weren't they too vivid.'
Kelly was taken back to that moment; she was younger back then when the Dark Magus had attacked her town, but there were more details than what the Dark Spirit let on.
The Guild at the time, they weren't only forcing the town to do their work in creating illegal drug-misused items, but they were also forcing the workers to take them as well. They had gotten the entire town addicted, forcing them to do their bidding. There would be those that tried to fight back to try to stop them, but the guild would force it upon the others.
They had the whole town as their customers, and Kelly saw it firsthand. She had only lived with her mother at the time, but her mother was one of those addicted to the magical drugs that were handed out.
She had tried to break the cycle; Kelly had tried to help her, but the guild had come around to their house and forced her. They had even tried to leave the town a couple of times, but nothing was working. In the end, things spiraled worse; her mother could no longer speak clearly, she had become more than just a regular user but to the point where she was no longer able to even work. When that happened they kicked her to the curb.
Her mother had tried to steal some product from the guild, and they ended up killing her. Kelly at the time was only a 2-star mage, and even then, what could she have done to take on an entire guild, it would have been impossible, but that was when one person had come and done it, it was the Dark Magus.
The news report had stated that the Dark Magus had killed the citizens as well as the guild. At first, the Dark Magus was just killing guild members, then the guild claimed anyone who helped get rid of him would be offered more product.
The Dark Magus simply killed those who got in his way. When the guild finally disappeared, Kelly was able to pack her things and leave the town. To her, the Dark Magus was her savior, which was why she had gone down the path she had done at the time.
Learning Dark Magic, learning everything she could about the Dark Magus. The news reports, everything that the media started to spin, she knew it was all lies.
Her trust in the world disappeared, and she felt like the only truth for her was the Dark Magus. If she could help him even a little, then that was good enough for her.
The flying vehicle was slowing down as it was coming to the stop; it was the last stop. When she stood up, there were a couple of other boys and girls wearing similar clothing to her.
It was a pride for them to wear the uniform.
"Last stop, Central Mage Academy," the speaker shouted.
'At the Mage's Academy, I'm sure I'll find what you're looking for, and I'll help you achieve your goal.'
