Chapter 810: The Goal Of The Dark Faction
When Jiyo had been asked to stay behind, there was a smile on his face, a satisfied look. Many of the guests were somewhat curious about what business the new Dark Faction leader might have with him, as many didn't even know his position.
"Why would he ask to meet with him? Is he from one of the top clans?" one of the men asked, walking away.
"No, I think he's someone who works at the academy. Since Murkel was the Head of the Academy and the Faction, now, the Dark Magus is probably going to take his place as well."
After learning that it was just another teacher, or more accurately, the librarian in charge of the academy's techniques, they decided it wouldn't be an important matter.
For Amir, though, he was even more curious about why Raze would single out a person that even he didn't speak to much during his time at the academy.
"Jiyo... I don't even remember ever having him on my radar. The Bonum Society doesn't have much information about him either," Amir thought.
He wanted to go forward, to try and walk side by side with Raze as he approached Jiyo. Maybe pretend that they needed to talk about matters related to the Academy, and what Raze's next move was, but that was when Raze turned to look at the others.
"Make sure the academy is running as usual, and gather information on the Dark Faction for me," Raze ordered. "I'll meet up with you all later; there's something I need to do."
It was the first time Raze seemed interested in getting involved in the entire academy, and even Amir could tell it was an excuse to get the others away. In the end, Amir felt like he had already pushed Raze enough to help them, and he would try to gather information later.
"In fact, you're not the first person who came asking questions about Bofan; Murkel did as well. He seemed more like he was obsessed with Bofan, and when he knew part of the academy had such a place, he sealed it off, and no one was allowed to enter, apart from the Principal themselves.
"Which is why I said those words to you," Jiyo continued with a smile. "I've been watching you, Raze, not as closely as I should have, but I knew something was going on when you showed an interest in Bofan, and it wasn't the regular interest one has in an old leader."
"In some ways, it felt similar to the interest Murkel displayed, yet somehow quite different. I thought this day might have come many years in the future, yet here it is, just a few months after our conversation."
"Right," Raze said as he thought back to that time. "Actually, the fact that you had this information, and my interest in Bofan in the first place, is what made me take over the academy."
"You could say that everything I've done was truly for this moment right now. I wish to learn everything you can and everything you know about Bofan," Raze requested. It was respectful but at the same time fierce.
Jiyo felt that if he lied or held anything back, this student in front of him would get rid of him on the spot, making him even more interesting in the old man's eyes.
It was then that the old man walked up to the fallen throne and stood by its side.
"I told Murkel everything, and I shall do the same for you now that you are in his position. Unfortunately, telling him everything didn't amount to much. His interest in the Dark Faction's founder was for other personal reasons."
"Which is why I hope telling you everything will allow something to bear fruit, and my hunch is that it will."
"The questions that need to be asked, which no one seems to do, are why the Dark Faction was even created in the first place, and why it came from a new clan that appeared out of nowhere with no history. What was Bofan trying to do in the first place?"
