Chapter 792: I\'m Not A Good Person
"I can\'t get it out of my mind, even when I look at the wall," Kelly said. "I\'ve seen people die before, I\'ve seen sights like that, but this was the first time I was so involved in something. I saw everything, and the image of him losing his life right in front of me is constantly there."
"Meow." Sophie opened her mouth and walked past, brushing her tail on Kelly\'s face, trying to cheer her up, but it was useless and had been for the last four days now.
Due to the events that had occurred, Kelly had called in sick at the academy. She claimed she had come down with a serious case of the flu, something that could get her off for more than one day.
The academy, being who they were, had even offered to send someone with Light magic to come and help, but Kelly stated that she wanted to naturally fight it off to make her body stronger, which was an expected excuse.
The academy didn\'t try to get involved with politics in that matter. Some people were for and against the idea, so the academy just let students do as they wished.
However, the reason for calling in sick wasn\'t because she was sick, of course, and neither was it because she couldn\'t get the image of the day out of her head. It was because of what had happened that day.
Before leaving, Harvey had told Kelly to take a couple of days off school. The reason was to see if going after Bronk would have any effect on them. An investigation would be run on Bronk\'s death, and Harvey would be able to look at the files even if he wasn\'t an investigator on the project.
He could see if they had any idea or any suspects at all. Constantly checking her phone, Kelly was expecting to see something, and when she went to look at it again, she continued to scroll through articles.
"It\'s been four days and still nothing-this is crazy," Kelly said. "I understand we were careful so no one saw us, but they haven\'t even reported on his death. Didn\'t he have any family and friends that cared about him? Even on his social media, no one knows he\'s... gone."
She was sure it was safe for her to head back to the academy. She could have done so after the second day according to Harvey, but she just didn\'t want to. The academy, all of it, felt so small with all the problems Alterian had, and more were being discovered each day.
If it wasn\'t for the fact that the Dark Spirit found use for her being in the academy, then she would have dropped out already.Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn
Picking up her second phone, she went ahead and checked the messages.
"Today is the day, right? It will be happening in the evening, and he hasn\'t even sent a message. Nothing to reassure me everything is okay, or even a hello to check up on me."
Thinking about it more, a shiver ran through the entirety of Kelly\'s body. It was the look that Harvey gave once in a while, and how he was doing everything with ease, making snap decisions and judgments.
At times, it was exactly how she thought the real Dark Magus would act, or at least how people viewed the Dark Magus to act, but for her, the Dark Magus was more of an anti-hero- the real Dark Magus anyway.
"That man scares me," Kelly said, and then turned her head to Sophie, who was reading a book at the desk. "And you, that day you just went ahead and listened to everything he said. You didn\'t hesitate either. Why did you do that?"
Sophie stopped reading the book for a moment, then with her magic, lifted up a pen by the side. This was an enchanted pen that, when the top was clicked, would leave lingering words in the air for a few moments when waved about.
One could practically write in the air and use it as their canvas.
"Harvey is not a good person," the words read out that were drawn.
"I know that," Kelly answered as she propped herself up and sat on the edge of the bed. "None of us are completely good. I can\'t say I\'m a good person-look what I did. Regardless of how bad someone is or what they have done, it takes a certain type of person willing to commit murder."
The pen started to move in the air again. "You are a good person..." Then the pen continued to move. "Sophie is a bad person."
Right then, before Sophie could expand on that, the pen dropped to the floor. She had run out of magic and could no longer communicate more. Things seemed to be getting better day by day, but it was at a snail\'s pace.
"You\'re a bad person?" Kelly said. "When you look this cute, it\'s hard to imagine!"
Kelly came over, hugged Sophie, and started to stretch the cat\'s little chubby cheeks and patted its belly a few times. While doing this, though, in the back of her mind, she did have a thought—what was Sophie\'s past, what was Harvey\'s past?
Sophie did everything she was told with no hesitation, as if she had done it before or was willing to do such a thing. Sophie even said she was a bad person. If Kelly met up with Sophie in real life, read about what she had done to others, would she think the same thing?
What if someone who learned Dark magic was just like Bronk, with a bad past and history? What were they to do then, just accept them because they know how to use Dark magic?
All of these thoughts had lingered in the back of her mind for a long time-it was the first time they were coming to the front. Suddenly, as Kelly was playing with Sophie, both of them felt a weird energy.
All of the hairs on Sophie\'s body looked to be standing up, and when turning their head to look at the center of the room, they could see a black, dark ball expanding.
"That\'s what happens when the Dark Spirit arrives-he\'s arriving now, right here!"
