26 Chapter 26: Retaking the Magic class tes

The guards stationed at the entrance of the adventurer association castle entrance instinctively stepped aside as Derik approached and even took the initiative to greet him. Just a few months ago these same people treated him and John Angus with contempt when they came here for the recruitment program but after witnessing Derik's performance in the inter-class competition, they dare not provoke the young lad. At this point, they were lacking both in strength and influence, even though these guards were more powerful than recruits they only possessed as much strength as normal foot soldiers in the military and cannot solo a level five ogre. Even in terms of influence, they were mere guards working for the adventurer association, while Derik was amongst the top ten in the inter-class competitions and also served as the Knight of the Lockwood family thereby earning their support. According to the various pieces of information they received, Derik has a strong relationship with the Lockwood family head; Scott Lockwood.Derik at this point is an existence they dare not provoke, even the adventurers association would penalize them if they caused trouble for the young archer.

Noticing the change in the attitude of these guards Derik could only smile, the last time he visited the adventurers association, these guards treated him and his father with contempt, now they dare not look him in the eyes.

[Maybe later I will have dad tag along and make these guys apologize] he thought as he made his way into the adventurers association castle. It was still the same as he remembered only that the ground floor was empty, he quickly scanned the room with his eyes briefly before approaching the woman seated on a wooden chair with a wooden desk in front of her and a crystal orb on the desk. Upon arrival, pulled out the scroll given to him by the grey-haired man and handed it over to the woman

"According to this, you served as the representative of the archery class during the inter-class competitions yet I don't recognize you" The woman said with a suspicious look on her face, she knew Derik Angus very well, Short brown hair and brown eyes yet this young lad claiming to be Derik possessed pitch-black iris and all the pitch-black hair on his head stood upon giving it a spiky kind of look. Even though deep down she knew the teenager right in front of her looked like Derik but the change in hair and eye color greatly confused her, even now the boy looked slightly taller and more manly in various ways.

"What do you mean by that… I'm Derik Angus… See" Derik was shocked by the woman's statement and hurriedly pulled out his recruit medal where his name was boldly written.

The lady quickly inspected the medal and returned her gaze to the black-haired teen in front of her with traces of shock and suspicion in her eyes

"How did you change so much…" she asked

"Change… I changed?"Derik muttered, at this point, he finally understood where the problem originated from

"But it took effect fast" he muttered. The magic enhancement potion simply speeds up the magic development in one's body and when such a person's energy pathways have been blocked crippling his chances of developing a magic affinity, the magic enhancement potions simply shatters the blockades enabling the users magic to develop even further, but naturally this required some time to take effect. The changes need sometime before they become visible it should take about a month or two before the process completes, yet this was completed in less than a day in his case only requiring just a few hours.

[Could this be because of my werewolf side] he thought, this was the only reasonable explanation he could come up with, maybe its healing factor was not limited to external wounds alone.

"I was able to procure a magic enhancement potion and consumed it… that is the reason for my change in appearance… I would like to take the magical class test once again…" he said as he pulled out a small leather pouch from his back pocket retrieving a silver coin form it and placing it on the table.

"I see…" the lady nodded her head in agreement after listening to Derik's short explanation. She was no stranger to the effects of the magic enhancement potion and was aware of the physical changes that occurred once a person unlocked his magic affinity. Only that she never expected Derik to have such influence and connections capable of proclaiming a magic enhancement potion, that was why she gazed at him suspiciously earlier.

"I guess I underestimated you, Derik Angus… We have already spent too much time here… let us begin the test" she said as she carefully moved the Cyrstal orb closer to Derik after picking up the silver coin.With a nervous look on his face, Derik slowly placed his palm on the orb and almost instantly the semi-transculent crystal orb turned pitch black, a dark purple mist completely shrouded the orb and gloomy energy filled the room. even the guards stationed at the entrance of the castle rushed into the castle with their weapons unsheathed

"Such evil energy… Dark magic… no, this can't be right… I have never felt such evil energy before…" she gasped in shock as she stared at the pitch-black orb in Derik's hands and shuddered involuntarily. Her eyes shifted to Derik who remained calm all through the process, steadily gazing at the pitch-black orb as if he was searching for something inside the orb.

"Enough!!!..." the lady as she quickly pulled away from the orb, she stared at Derik who has been silent ever since he placed his hand on the crystal orb with a terrified expression. For over two years since she began serving the adventurers association, she has come across people with blood magic, dark magic and so on and still didn't feel terrified. Yet the energy which emitted from the orb when Derik placed his hand on it was beyond anything she has ever felt

"I hope you can stay with us for a while… the result of this test is quite unclear … I can't place your class a the moment… I will need a professional to look into it" she spoke not daring to look Derik in the eye as she spoke

"How long will that take… I'm meant to be with the rest of my team now… I can't afford to waste much time here" Derik quickly responded, he sees the lady shudder in fear and all the guards on the first floor had their weapons unsheathed. They were all afraid and fear makes people do stupid things if he hung around a little longer something unfortunate may happen.

"Just a few hours… please" The lady added as she stared at Derik nervously. Derik could only smile bitterly in response, escaping the guards here was childs play to him, the real problem was the adventurer teams on the second floor. The second floor in the adventurers association branch office served as a meeting center where adventurer teams meet up and a pick quests and requests. The third floor is where the requests are turned in and rewards are given out. Even though at his current level he was on par with the average low ranking bronze level adventurers in terms of strength and speed thanks to his wolf side, he still lacked experience and exposure which these people possessed. There is a high chance that these people may high ranking bronze level adventure teams present or if he was unlucky there maybe even silver level adventurer teams present.

"Very well then… Does the association have a vacant room for guests?... You must have heard I just regained consciousness today…I'm a bit tired" Derik laughed as he spoke. His cheerful expression calmed everyone down and they slowly sheathed their weapons, returning to their various positions but their eyes remained fixed on Derik

"Ahh yes thank you for understanding" the lady quickly responded and led Derik to one of the rooms in the castle

…

…

…

He gazed at the mirror and marveled at the changes that have taken place, with such a villainous face coupled with the possession of such evil aura why wouldn't they act the way they did. He even considered himself lucky that the guards on the ground floor were not to rash in their response, even he was taken aback when he felt the evil aura that emitted from his body. During that moment he heard a sinister laugh and a cold voice reciting some words

"Death…" he muttered

"So this is how I'm meant to look if my magic developed properly…I look amazing" He laughed. He laid on the bed and closed his eyes hoping to rest for a little while even now he felt a little bit dizzy

…

…

…

Derik opened his eyes and found himself in the same room, he liked out the window only to realize everywhere had gone dark

"Didn't they say it will take only a few hours… yet they kept me here the whole day" he said. He quickly walked towards the door attempting to open it but the door refused to open

"They locked me in?" He frowned slightly. His expression changed and his eyes glowed blue, his began bulging as he punched at the door

Bam!!!

He retreated by a step yet the door remained steadfast, out of frustration he growled and punched out repeatedly

Bam!

Bam!

Bam!

After throwing the about fifty punches at the door he felt exhausted

"What kind of sorcerer is this… a magic barrier capable of withstanding the strength of a level 9 supernatural beast easily… I doubt even Scott Lockwood can shatter it" He said with a bitter smile. With a confused expression on his face, he returned to the mirror and decided to check himself out a bit to know whether any new changes have occurred. Upon arriving, he stared at the mirror for a while and everything seemed to be normal

"No new changes huh?"He said. Instantly his nose twitched instinctively, the odor of a rotten corpse and for a time he felt nauseated by the dour. Returning his gaze to the mirror he saw a figure whose face is covered with a hood, the figures purple eyes glowed as it stretched out its hands and reached for Derik'sshoulde
