The weapon had been brought in by Tilon. Surprisingly, it was hidden behind the large shield he had on his back; when he took it off, it was attached to the other end.

Wrapped in cloth, it was slowly placed on the floor.

"Is that really a good place to put it? What happens if your shield breaks, and then it breaks the sword?" Dame asked.

"Ha!" Tilon laughed. "Someone would have to break my Qi reinforced shield to break it. I have yet to meet someone who can do so."

"Besides, if the shield is broken, then doesn't that give a reason for the Dark Magus to make my item next?" A cheeky smile appeared on his face.

"To be honest, if someone could break this sword, I don't think they would be in this realm," Alba commented.

Dame knew what she meant by that; she was referring to those in the Divine realm, but how could a weapon be so special.

When the cloth was unraveled, immediately a strange power could be felt from the weapon in front of his eyes. A slight orange glow could be seen in the reflection of his eye.

"This is not the same Ghost Blade that I know," Dame commented.

The blade itself was almost completely black in color. From the hilt, even to the sharpened blade was like that of obsidian.

However, running through the blade was a single line in the center. Branching on this single line were several swirls making it look like a mystic tree was growing up the sword.

All of it was glowing with a strong orange color.

"This blade, is it made out of Aldantium?" Dame asked.

"I thought you would recognize it; it's one of the hardest and rarest materials known in Pagna. Do you think someone could break it now?" Alba asked.

"But why? Why do you have such a powerful weapon for Raze, why would you give him something like that?" Dame asked.

He knew there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world. So there had to be a catch. Especially with the give and take relationship they had with the Crimson Crane.

"That's because the materials belonged to him in the first place," Alba replied. "I just got a well-known blacksmith to work on it for me, which was not easy to find. I'm hoping the next shipment of pills can be on the house because of that."

"He got those items, but where, and when would he have the time?" Dame went into a mumble.

It was then that Alba realized something herself. Although on the outside, Dame and the Dark Magus appeared close, their relationship couldn't be that close. There were things that the Dark Magus didn't bother telling Dame, or at least kept it from him.

Wrapping the weapon back up, they had decided to place it back with Tilon for safekeeping.

"It will be a nice surprise for him, and give him a nice edge when he wakes up," Alba commented. "Speaking of, maybe we should check if he's up right now."

The group, talking for a while, headed back out, and could see the students still gathered around Raze. Reno was no longer around him, and when Alba made eye contact with him, he just shook his head giving them an answer.

"He's not waking up then?" Alba asked.

"I used some potent poison on him; that should kickstart him, but nothing seems to be working. The good news is that he has a pulse and is breathing, although barely breathing."

"So what do we do, who's in charge now?" Cronker asked. "You told us to treat his order like he was the boss, and now the boss is silent."

"Hey, he gave us an order, remember, to help him take down the Dark Faction Pagna Academy, so that's what we will do, and what about you, any bright ideas?"

The question was placed on Dame.

"We might have to just head back and see what happens. In the academy, there were those that thought it was best we followed the rules.

"Amir, the Vice Principal, he knew that Feebie had a target on our back. If we explain we were attacked, and the other main disciples can back us up on that, as long as they're alive, we might still be okay."

"But won't questions pop up then?" Alba asked. "About where is Feebie eventually right. The clan will ask about it, when they find out Feebie is dead, they'll start to wonder how is that even possible, and all of you will either be brought in for questioning or killed on the spot."

"And I'm hoping it's not the latter. With Raze the way he is, it might be best to keep him here though."

The group was thinking about it, but while doing so, they could see Safa was shaking her head and lifted both of her hands in the air.

"That's it, I don't care anymore," Safa declared. "I don't care if he doesn't want me to do it. I can't stand him being in pain, even now he can't breathe properly."

Safa placed both hands across Raze's throat, and soon she started to use her magic, in an attempt to heal him. His body started to glow slightly, and as soon as they saw this, Simyon and Liam were telling the others to give them space and to go elsewhere.

They didn't want them to see her magic at work. It was still a secret after all, even between allies and not their secret to share.

The glowing around Raze's throat was strong, and slowly his breathing got better. More oxygen was being let in.

No longer did it feel like he was in pain, and his heart rate started to settle as well. Just from this, Safa could tell that her magic had worked.

It had healed Raze back to what he was. However, although his breathing got better, he seemed to still be asleep.

Doing this, she tried to use her magic in other areas. Trying to heal any part of the body including the head she could, to try and get Raze to wake up.

None of it was working though, and it seemed like it wouldn't work.

"Hey, you already did a lot," Dame placed his hand on Safa's shoulder. "Look he's a lot better, even his face looks calmer now he can breathe."

It was hard for her to be satisfied with this, but it was what they needed to be.

Now, what they needed to figure out was how to move forward without Raze. So far, the only plan they really had was to head back to the academy.

Staying here too long and some of the other students return, a party would be sent out looking for them.

"We should return to the academy," Dame stated. "And, Cornker, you're good at staying hidden, right? You should stay with us and report back to Alba when you can, while the rest of the Crimson Crane stays with Raze until he wakes up."

"Hey, but we still haven't even figured out how you are going to fight all the clan heads and the principal!" Cronker asked.

Dame just smiled back.

"That one is for him to figure out, and now that he's all healed up, I can't wait to see how much stronger he is when he wakes up."
