"Huh? Why would you ever want to go back there? Didn't they treat you like literal trash there?" Yosel asked which brought a smile to Arthur's face.
"Yes, that's exactly why I would like to go back there. I want to mess around with them one last time," said Arthur to which Yosel took a deep breath in as he needed to explain a few things to Arthur.
"You see Arthur, I actually killed one of the most valuable soldiers of the council of sorcery. You probably have not heard about them but they're basically the sole government in this world. Even though there are actual governments in every country, the council of sorcery stands above all of them. Anything they say or do is followed without any questions," Yosel began to explain.
"So you must understand that both you and I have a bounty on our heads probably worth more than what the average person can count to. You see, the council of sorcery is very egotistical. If something does not go their way, they will do anything in their power to make sure it does or they'll get revenge on whoever messed up their plans. In this case, they will be coming after us. As for their methods; they have enough money to fill this entire world with gold," Yosel explained to which Arthur had a question to ask.
"I've always wanted to know this. Can't you just make gold out of magic? It should be pretty easy to replicate right?" Arthur asked to which Yosel nodded his head side to side to signify that he disagreed.
"You see, that's the wonderful thing about magic. All magic comes from within. Anyone who chooses to wield magic implants a part of their souls into a spell. So if someone were to create gold from their soul, they would be caught eventually. Even if they managed to trade that gold through people they didn't know, that gold would eventually reach the banks. There; they check if the gold corresponds with the source soul that is responsible for creating all gold. If it does, the money is accepted and everyone can move on with their day. However, on the off chance that the gold's soul does not match with the source soul, the criminal is hunted down like a criminal that had committed over 10000 murders all at once. The council of sorcery does not take stuff like this lightly," Yosel explained.
"What exactly is the source soul?" Arthur asked out of confusion as he had never heard about that. Even so, Yosel intended on answering all of Arthur's questions so he once again began to explain.
"Well you see Arthur, the council of sorcery is seen as this great group of people that maintain balance to the world, however that's not the case. They're actually some of the most twisted minds that have ever lived. If people knew what they did in their free time, the council would have been overthrown in a mere instant. However they make sure that anyone that knows about their deeds keeps the secret using a high tier spell that even I could not break out of," said Yosel which Arthur replied by giving a confused look.
"But you're telling me all of this right now so that must mean that their spells aren't that strong," said Arthur to which Yosel smiled while preparing to correct his student.
"Well, not technically since they cast many secret keeping spells depending on how important the information is. The source soul's information is backed by a pretty strong spell but I managed to break it quite a while back. The source soul is simply the soul of the person who creates all of the gold that's in circulation in this world. That being a member of the council of sorcery," said Yosel with a rather confident tone as he expected Arthur to clap for him and be surprised while asking how he did it. However none of that took place.
"Okay, cool," said Arthur to which Yosel seemed offended.
"That's all you have to say to me?" Yosel said as he turned red with anger.
"Why do you look so angry, just take a deep breath. It's not the end of the world. Anyway, since we're already being hunted down by the council of sorcery, can I just go to my school? It's not like I have a reason to be afraid. You already stated that you could hold up pretty well against the top forces of the council and since my demon form is much stronger than you, there should really be no problems, right?" Arthur asked.
"Well, I guess you're right. However don't expect me to save you if you end up in some predicament. And something you should know is that the teachers and principal are at least 5 times stronger than what you have them envisioned as in your head. In terms of power you would hold up pretty well even without your demonic form. However, they know magic chemistry and could easily take care of you if they wanted since they studied how to make full use of magical spells. If you encounter them, run for your life because they'll really kill you and won't feel even the slightest bit of remorse," said Yosel as a final warning before snapping his fingers which led Arthur directly to the middle of the school before Yosel disappeared from the area by snapping his fingers once again.
"Wow, it feels a bit awkward to stand here alone while everyone is still in class," said Arthur to himself.

…
On one of the highest floors of the school was Leon who was attending his class while bored due to him being so much more superior than his classmates. As he looked outside of the window, he saw a familiar figure. He couldn't believe his eyes and as such took a closer look and there was no mistaking it. It was none other than Arthur, the kid who humiliated him during the genius magic competition.
Instantly, Leon broke the window of his classroom with his bare fist before leaping out of it like a mad man while yelling. It was as if he was a superhero about to enter the fight and kill the main villain.
Time began to slow down for Leon as he made his spectacular appearance.
"Tier 8 Spell: The Sun Lord's Paradise"
Fire began to flow outside of Leon's body like it was art as it made circles and twists all around him before a portion of it covered his fist as he brought it down right at Arthur's head with the biggest grin on his face.
Right as his fist made contact with Arthur's head, a large area of the field was instantly covered in flames and smoke as would be expected from a tier 8 spell. The ground began to shake in fear of Leon's fists which made everyone turn towards their windows so that they could watch what had occurred.
Had Arthur really been killed by a single blow?
