Magic Academy's
18. Fugitive rank S

"You're Ales?!" Selia was surprised to see the person in front of her.

She was Ales Viorlan, the personal bodyguard of the first concubine of emperor Erlin who was Zen's mother.

After the death of Zen's mother, he disappeared. Then after a few months, word got out that he kidnapped a lot of people and he became a fugitive.

But, until now he had not been arrested as well and therefore he became an S rank fugitive.

"Why did you kidnap me?" Ask Selia.

"I want to take your power, Princess." Ales.

"For what?"

Ales was silent for a moment, then he said "To bring the first noble concubine back."

Selia was surprised 'Turning the first concubine's mother back? Is that possible?' There was hope in Selia's eyes.

Ales smiled looking at the hope in Selia's eyes "Princess, you love the first concubine right? And you want to bring the first concubine back, don't you?"

Selia looked at Ales, then she lowered her head and nodded.

"Yes, I want the first concubine's mother back to life." Selia shed tears remembering the mother of the first concubine.

"Then give me your strength. With that power, I can revive the first concubine." Ales.

"Alright," Selia lifted her head and she smiled "But please let go of Lak and also, please revive the first concubine's mother."

"Okay, Princess."

Wia gives Ales a magic storage stone, Ales takes it and takes Selia's magic.

But, when almost half of Selia's magic was taken, Lisia and Zen came and attacked Ales using magic.

Ales stops Selia's magic retrieval and dodges.

Ales looked at Lisia and Zen "You guys came sooner than I thought." Ales stared dislikefully at Lisia and Zen.

'Done!' Inner Zen.

Lisia looked at Selia who was fainting at the moment.

Lisia looked at Zen, as if knowing what Lisia was thinking, Zen took out his sword and attacked Ales and Wia.

Lisia ran towards Selia, she immediately used healing magic to heal Selia.

'Why didn't he fight back when his magic was taken?' Inner Lisia.

Lisia looked at Zen, she was currently fighting with Ales and Wia.

Lisia stood up and went to help Zen. While Selia is currently being healed by her magic.

Lisia pulled out her sword and attacked Wia. Wia dodged the slash of Lisia's sword.

Wia used shadow magic and attacked Lisia from behind. Lisia slashed at the shadow of Wia who was behind her, making Wia startled.

Lisia kicked Wia so that she hit the wall. Lisia intended to stab Wia's heart using a sword but was stopped by Selia's voice.

"Don't kill him!" Selia.

Lisia undoes her intentions. He stuck the sword into the wall right next to Wia's neck.

Wia was trembling in fear seeing Lisia. In his eyes at the moment, Lisia was truly sinister.

Lisia used sleep magic and put Wia to sleep.

Meanwhile, Zen and Ales were still fighting at the moment.

They talk while fighting.

"You're the second person who knows me best, so you know I won't die easily." Ales smiled.

Zen looked into Ales's eyes "Why did you disappear? What is human experimentation for?"

The smile on Ales' face disappeared hearing Zen's question "So you've known it."

Ales stopped attacking Zen, seeing Ales who stopped Zen also stopped.

"Prince, do you want the first noble concubine to come back to life?" Ales asked with a serious face.

Zen was surprised to hear Ales question "Reliving mother back? That's not possible." Zen.

"That sounds impossible, but I'll try to do it. I took the power of many for this." Ales.

Hearing Ales' words, Zen remembered something. About the forbidden magic that he said could revive a dead person "Don't you want to use that forbidden magic?"

Ales smiled "You're right, prince."

"You're out of your mind. Even if you gather magic from 100 thousand strong people, it will not be enough to revive mother. You've really been blinded by your love." Zen stared intently at Ales.

Ales smiled "Yes, I've gone crazy. But, whatever I'll do for Evia."

"I have let Evia marry His Imperial Majesty, the important thing is that she is happy and I become her personal bodyguard to watch over her closely. But," Ales recalled the moment where Evia died right in front of him "Evia died."

Ales looked at Zen "And it's because of you, the prince of Zen."

Zen stared at Ales flatly, he was already used to being cast as the cause of his own mother's death.

"Look, you don't even feel guilty." Ales.

"From on killing you, I better take all your power until you die and use it to revive Evia." Ales.

Zen did not reply to Ales' words, he clasped his sword firmly "Ales Viorlan, as a disciple of the Magic Academy as well as the first prince of Erlin's empire. I, Zen Aslan de Erlin will defeat and capture you."

Zen attacks Ales and Ales fends off any Zen attacks.

It kept happening over and over again, no one wanted to budge from them.

***

"Lisia, don't get in my way! I want to help the Zen prince!" Selia tries to leave, but is taken into custody by Lisia.

"Daughter, this is the fight between the two of them. We better not interfere." Said Lisia with a serious face.

"Why?!"

Lisia did not reply, she then used sleep magic and put Selia to sleep.

Lisia saw Ales' There was a strange. If he did this because of the forbidden magic to revive Zen's mother, he should have collected all the magic he had obtained in one magic stone alone. But, why did he keep it in so many magic stones? And again, why did he cast that magic onto the bodies of so many people and not the bodies of Zen's mother? Something is strange.' Thought Lisia.

Lisia re-thought everything 'He couldn't possibly lie. Did someone set him up? But for what?'

Lisia thought of something, she looked in the direction where the human trial lab was 'Wait, if the extremely powerful magic was flowing into the bodies of those trial humans, then, then most likely those humans would obtain extremely great strength. Then, if their bodies could not they control then, its power would control their bodies!'

Lisia ran towards the human trial lab 'That must not happen! If they were that many, then it would be very difficult to defeat all of them, let alone with such great strength. This mission could have been an SS rank mission!'

Lisia arrived in front of the human trial lab, she opened the door 'May it's not too late!'

The door opened, behind the door was a man who was an experimental human who managed to get out of the tube.

'I'm late!'

Seriate...
