When Raze gave his answer, Alen looked down at the pocket device in his hand. It wasn't the answer that had made him react, but instead, the device that made his eyes nearly pop out from his head.
"You're telling the truth," he mumbled to himself. "But how?"
As Raze thought, the device in his hand was a rare enchanted item that could detect if a person was lying or telling the truth. Due to the question asked, Raze knew he had nothing to lie about.
"Telling the truth in this situation should also get his interest off my back," Raze thought to himself.
It was obvious as day that Alen was interested in who he was. Perhaps the conversation the two had had made Alen think highly of Raze or believe that the two of them could be some type of rival.
Raze knew that feeling well; the top was more of a lonely place than one would think. Usually, one would gain joy in beating others and being better than them, but when you were at the top, that was when you started to welcome competition more.
The competition of someone being able to match you gave you excitement, and now Raze needed to extinguish this excitement.
"Now I know," Alen thought. "I know why we weren't able to find any information on him because he's not special at all. He's just a normal mid-level mage."
"Anyway, I promise that I will stick to the cause and will find out any information you wish. I would have still done this before, but I just wanted you to know that I won't go back on my word," Kelly stated.
There was something else she wanted to ask, she wanted to bring up, but she wasn't sure it was the right time. The thoughts in her head: was he really a spirit, a puppet, a creation, or an actual life? Was it quite possible that this was a person? And if that was the case, could it be... was 'Jake' actually the Dark Magus? Was he still alive?
It was a crazy thought for her to have. The age didn't match up, the level of magical abilities didn't make sense, and in a way, she thought that maybe she just wanted it to be the truth.
The one she considered her savior from the past, who had taken her out of her situation, and had gotten revenge on her behalf, had just saved her again; she wanted it to be true.
"Jake... I wanted to ask... are you..."
"I can't," Raze replied, breaking her off mid-sentence. "I just calculated how much time I have left. I can't go to what I need after the event."
Based on how much time Raze had, he needed to go to the vault, at least during the event. He had to find a way to slip out and get what he needed.
"You mean, you don't have much time?" Kelly asked.
She knew his body was a bit strange since touching it, and how he had appeared out of nowhere; this part of him really was like a spirit, and she somewhat understood that because he had saved her and used his magical powers that it might have been her fault in all of this.
"I will need to go during the event; I will be back for the end, but after that, we will have to part ways immediately," Raze explained.
"I understand," Kelly nodded. "I don't think we have to worry, though; that lesson was the last lesson. We're heading to the main hall now... the evening event is about to begin."
