Nina Wraith, the witch of necromancy.

After learning our first spells, we continued to talk with Lilith.

Leo told about his old world to Lilith while Lilith explained many things about this world to us.

Lilith taught one more spell to Leo.

[Black Flame]

[Affinity: Dark/Fire]

[Tier: 1]

[Mana: 25]

[Mastery Rank: F]

Now having dark affinity, I too was able to learn this dark magic.

After learning black flame, I had completed the latest magic system quest.

I had successfully learned three spells namely telekenisis, black bullet and black flame.

<You have completed a Quest>

[+1000 Magic Experience, +10 Magic Point]

Later that evening, we arranged some old clothes from Hank. He gave us three pair of clothes that were enough for some days until we recieve proper clothings from academy.

After wearing our new clothes, we exited our form and made our way to cafetaria.

The cafetaria was filled with many students who started to scream the moment they saw Leo.

They all wanted to see him. Many girls even tried to flirt with him but Leo just ignored them and proceeded to eat his breakfast.

Lilith, who followed us to the cafetaria, didn't let go of this chance and started to tease Leo.

Leo quickly finished his food and left the cafeteria.

On his way back to the dorm, Lilith suddenly said, "Leo, don't stop walking and don't turn around, there's someone following you."

"What! Who is it? What do they want from me?"

"It's a magic student judging by her uniform."

"Huh? It's a female student? Then I don't have to worry too much about it. She's probably an admirer of the previous Leo."

Lilith left his side to go check the stalker's identity.

When she returned to his side, she said, "I don't think she's an admirer."

"How did you come to that conclusion?"

"Because that student is Nina Wraith, and she's a witch."

"So what? If the old Leo could date someone like Valery, he could attract other witches as well."

"Actually, Nina Wraith is also known as the Witch of Necromancy. Don't you think it's too much of a coincidence that someone like her shows up right after you 'came back from the dead'? She probably thinks you got resurrected with magic or something, so she's spying on you."

"What an ominous title. Can she resurrect the dead with her magic or something? And most importantly, is she dangerous?" Leo asked.

'Nina Wraith… I don't know any students by that name in my old world.' He thought to himself.

"No, she cannot resurrect the dead. I don't know if she's dangerous or not, but she has a bad reputation in the academy."

"How bad?"

"Rumors say she likes to experiment on corpses and other things that are related to the dead."

"Isn't there some kind of law that prevents people from messing with corpses in this world?"

"Well, it depends on what she does with the corpses, but for the most part, what she's doing is not illegal, and she's probably just practicing her magic, which is pretty normal for magicians that study necromancy."

"Hm? Is necromancy considered Dark Magic?" Leo then asked.

"Yes."

"I see, so she's also—"

"Both of you! Watch out! She's casting magic!" Lilith suddenly shouted.

"What?"

However, before Leo could even react, two hands appeared from the ground beneath him and grabbed his ankles, preventing him from moving.

The hands that came from beneath me were instantly crushed by my kick. Even though my strength has disappeared, I still have a half angel body that is the strongest counter to dark magic. Such weak dark magic would dissipate just by touching my body.

"What is the meaning of this?!" Leo shouted out loud.

"Calm down, she's just restricting your movements." Lilith said, still confused how the spell under my legs disappeared.

A small figure approached him from the shadows a moment later.

"Please calm down. I won't harm you." Nina Wraith said to us while lifting both of her hands up in air.

"You…"

Leo was taken aback by her appearance.

Nina Wraith had a petite body and a delicate face, making it seem as though she was no older than 14 years old. She had long black hair that reached the back of her knees, and her eyes were dark but clear.

When Leo saw Nina Wraith, he subconsciously muttered out loud, "A child?"

Nina's eyebrows twitched after hearing his words.

"Who are you calling a child?! I am 19 years old, a full-fledged adult!" She shouted in a frustrated voice before kicking Leo in the knee with her black mary jane shoes.

"Fuck! That hurts!" Leo fell to the ground while clutching onto his knee.

"I thought you said you weren't going to harm me!" He shouted afterward.

"That was before you insulted me." She snorted.

"It's against school rules to use magic outside of official matches and the training center! You're going to get into a lot of trouble if the school finds out!"

"It's just a Tier 1 magic spell. I won't get punished over something so small as long as I don't kill you." Nina shrugged.

"You skipped a few steps there! It should be 'as long as I don't hurt you'!" Leo exclaimed.

"Don't be naive, Leo. She's a witch. She can beat up another student in front of the teachers and get away with it." Lilith laughed.

Leo gritted his teeth after hearing such words.

"Can I ask why the witch of necromancy is here?" I interrupted.

"I am sorry, Oswald. I need Leo for something important." Nina replied while bowing a little.

"What do you want from me?" Leo asked her after forcing himself to calm down.

"I would like to take a look at your body and see if you'd been resurrected with magic," she said with a nonchalant look on her face.

"What? That's crazy. Of course I am not resurrected with magic!" Leo refuted.

"If that's the case, then why do I sense dark magic coming from you?"

"Dark magic? I have no idea what you're talking about." Leo frowned.

Lilith flew in front of him and explained to him, "Black Bullet. When you use magic, its mana residue will linger around you for some time before disappearing, and people with the same magic affinity will be able to sense it coming from your body."

"Why aren't you responding?" Nina asked him with narrowed eyes, clearly suspicious of his behavior.

"I-I don't know what you're talking about, but I was definitely not resurrected with magic! This is a misunderstanding!"

"Since you're so confident that you're not a reanimated corpse, you wouldn't mind me inspecting your body, right? I will immediately leave you alone afterward— if this turns out to be a misunderstanding."

Hearing her words, Leo stared at Lilith in the eyes.

"Let her." Lilith nodded with an amused smile on her face.

Even though Leo did not trust her, it was not as though he had another choice.

"Why me? This oswald here has also died. In fact, many teachers even saw him die!!" He sighed out loud.

"What?!" Nina jumped back in shock.

She stared at me for answer. I simply nodded my head.

"T- Then can I c- check your b- body..?" Nina spoke with a red face.

"What?! Why is the treatment so different?! You asked him politely but used magic on me? So unfair!!" Leo screamed at her.

"You wouldn't understand it, little Leo. This is the power of charm." Said Lilith while teasing him.

"You can check my body but I must tell you that it is going to be a waste of your time."

"Thank you for your cooperation." Nina nodded with a red face and spinning eyes.
