Chapter 26

Currently I am in what looks like a big meeting room, sitting in the chair right next to me is Zelretch. The two of us were in a half full room with six other mages who I now know to be the Lord of the clock tower.

The two of us were currently innocently smiling while staring at the furious woman in front of us who if I'm correct right now, is the queen of the clock tower Lorelei Barthomeloi.

"Do the two of you know why you are here"

Hearing the rather clear message in the question, the two of us look to each other.

A clear message passed between us. We then look back to her, the most innocent look we have.

"I have no idea what you talking about ma'am"

"Agreed. Barthomeloi we have no idea what your talking about"

Hearing our words she looks at us with even more anger then before, if that was possible.

'Coff'

Oh, she just coffed blood, and even has a nose bleed.

"Are you ok ma'am. If you are unwell we can postpone this meeting for another day. Or I can use my magic to help, you may not have heard about it but my magic is pretty versatile"

"Indeed Barthomeloi, it's not good to push yourself when you're not well. The two of us are very kind and considerate people we have no problem waiting a few day if your not well"

'COFF'

'COFFFGGGHHRRNN' 'BANG'

Damn, more blood, even her eye is bleeding. It almost looks like she was useing the mangekyou sharingan. Also one of the guys sitting here just passed out, there is a puddle of blood forming below him.

"Oh dear, he seems like he needs help, allow me to send him to the medical wards"

With those words the man dissapeared In a flash of lights.

"Excuse me ma'am, I'm if not mistakes there are supposed to be thirteen lords right, how come there are only five here, well six if we include the guy who just left. Where are the other seven"

"Indeed Barthomeloi, where are they. I would think the prestigious lords would be here for such an important event"

Hearing our 'innocent' words, the Lord's in the room all had the same reaction. Rage.

"HOW CAN THE TWO OF YOU SIT THERE SAYING SUCH WORDS WITH A STRAIGHT FACE"

"HOW DARE YOU TALK LIKE THAT"

"ITS BECAUSE OF YOU"

"WHY DO HEATHENS LIKE YOU WIELD SUCH POWER"

"SILENCE"

At Lorelei's command, all the lords who are all screaming stop talking, taking a look at them I can see the rage in their red eyes, however that's probably caused by the blood leaking out of them.

"How about the two of you cease with the jokes "

"Ma'am I have no idea what your talking about"

"Indeed Barthomeloi, frankly the two of us are honestly offended that you could insinuate such things"

The two of us feigning being hurt from her words. I even pull a tear.

'Coff'

'Coff'

'Coff'

Look three down. No wait, only two, the woman is still conscious. Three left.

"Oh my, allow me"

With that the two down lords dissapear an a flash of light.

Seeing the situation, Lorelei who is now bleeding through her ears as well, finally snapped.

"I HAVE HAD ENOUGH, ARE YOU TWO EVEN AWARE OF THE CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR ACTIONS. THREE LORD HAVE DIED BECAUSE OF YOU TWO AND SEVEN ARE HOSPITALISED, LETS NOT EVEN MENTION THE GENERAL POPULATION OF THE CLOCK TOWER. IS THIS A GAME TO YOU. DO YOU DERIVE PLEASURE FROM TORTURING YOU FELLOW MAGUS"

Hearing her words we look to each other, then nod. Looking back to Lorelei we both say at the same time.

""Yes""

'Coff' 'Bang'

With that the woman from earlier drops. Looking at Zelretch we both nod. Two to go.

"Allow me"

With that the woman dissapear's. Now it's just Lorelei and suprisingly, someone I know, Marisbury Animusphere, the man who creates Chaldea in the future, I wonder if that will happen here, participating in the grand order will be fun.

Hearing our answer the two are shocked.

"Are you two serious, you are enjoying seeing you fellow magus suffer"

""Yes""

Hearing that the two are still shocked"

"Why, what is your reason for this"

Hearing Marisbury's question, I respond.

"Simple. I am an upstanding, good and moral person, who still possess a conscience. While you magus are a bunch of morally bankrupt scum of society who will happily torture and experiment of a baby it it will help improve your craft. I personally thing the world will be better if you all died, so torturing the hell out of you scum bags with pranks and watching you suffer from it bring me immense joy. Besides only the truly evil, the ones I mentioned are affected"

Hearing my words the two are shocked.

"So you are making every magr suffer like this, because you hate how magus operate and the length they go to for their craft"

"That's mostly right. I don't care what you do to advance your craft, however the moment you start cruelly experimenting on living beings, that's where I draw the line"

"You are essentially denying what you are, what it means to be a magus"

"You seem to think I see myself as a magus, no I see myself as a Magician spellcaster, I don't care what it means to be a magus. I honestly hate magus and how the operate.

I myself align more to the mundane masses, afterall, I am a civilised gentleman not a barbaric butcher like you magus"

Hearing my words Lorelei, seems shocked, then angry, before squeezing out her next words.

"I'm sorry, what did you refer to mage's as"

"Barbaric butchers. Frankly, from what I have heard about magus, it's the most accurate description. Afterall there are serial killers who kill less then magus do. If there animals then what does that make mage's"

"ARE YOU SERIOUS, DO YO UNDERSTAND WHAT YOUR SAYING. YOU ARE HONESTLY EQUATING A COMMON MURDERER TO A MAGUS"

"As far as I'm concerned their the same thing. In both situations, Innocent people pointlessly die for no reason at the hands of, pathetic, petty, trash"

With that the two lords look at me shocked. It's seems they finally understand what I'm saying as well as the type of person I am.

"Your not a mage"

"I never said I was"

"You are an insult to everything this place stands for"

" Thank you for your kind words"

"How can someone like you obtain true magic, this a slap to the face to all mage's in the world who seek the root"

"I known, that one of the reason I came here, to mock you mages. You will commit all kinds of atrocities to obtain it and yet here I am, a child and a good person with something you will never obtain. Truthfully I want nothing to do with this wretched hive of scum and villainy, however, seeing you mages suffer because of this, makes me believe in karma. Also pass the word around, the prank is set up on a newly created texture of reality. It covers the whole planet, anyone no matter who or where they are will be affected. With this evil people will suffer till the end of time while good people will live in peace"

The two lords look at me with horror.

"Wait you mean this isn't just happening at the clock tower"

"Nope, it's happening all over the world. You magus have spent so long doing what you want and getting away with it. You could do whatever you want and not worry about the consequences, because there were none, or just hide the evidence and be done with it. Well unfortunately for you there is no running or hiding from this, don't do the crime if you can't do the time"

"But there is no crime here"

"That's where your wrong. Every country around the world punishes murder, especially torture and murder"

"Do not use mundane laws on us"

"You live in this country so you come under its laws. End of discussion. Well I'm leaving I look forward to the future, of a future full of good magus, where live experimentation is seen for what it is, the actions of cruel and barbaric animals"

With that I leave the room, letting them digest my words.
