The entire Crimson Crane group was still trying to get over the fact that this person in front of them was the Dark Magus. His smooth skin, his smaller body frame that had yet to fill out, as well as the lack of deep wrinkles in certain places, all pointed to him being at least a student.
An older teenager who had yet to become a full adult. This was the person they had been working with, this was the person they had been fighting against literal demons to keep by their side.
There were quite a few that were a little unhappy with the fact that they had done so much and gone against so many to get him on their side before. One of them was Kizer, but he had been convinced after receiving a new item from the Dark Magus, and he had done his best to try to convince the others, but it was hard for them to see.
Nonetheless, they would listen to Alba because she was their leader, the one they trusted, and the person who had allowed them to get so far.
