A Banished Failure Survives in the Borderland and Becomes an S-Rank Exorcist

Third border city. We were going to take a short break here, but that wasn't Cyrus's purpose. His purpose is to meet someone. Then, in the meeting place, Cyrus will change his appearance into another person and meet him.

"Long time no see. How are you, buddy?

"Ha... yes, so what can I do for you?

"That's right. Where do we start?"

Two people in the alley. There was a conversation between Cyrus... and Dan. Dan hasn't seen Cyrus since two years ago. I am also surprised because it suddenly contacted me. Dan had a lot of backlash. At that time, gold certainly dazzled my eyes, but there were many things I thought Julia was definitely dead. Even so, Dan was not worried about the incident because he heard that Cyrus had erased all the evidence. The question was... is there something else?

Honestly, I don't want to do the same thing again. I still have some money I got back then. Besides, he's almost ready to become a soldier. I can't do anything bad... that's what I thought.

"... Julia Curtis is back alive."

"Eh... hey!? Julia is dead!!

"It was unexpected, but he survived two years at dusk... and gained strength. It's comparable to a superior vs. magician."

"Ugh, that's a lie!! That can't be happening!!

"Do you doubt what I'm saying?

"Ugh...."

"Well, that's what I thought, so I pulled out the photo and the database information. Take a look."

"... thank you"

And Dan looks through the materials. First of all, from the photo, Dan was sure. Hair colour and facial expression have also changed, but Yulia is definitely the one. And now you're studying in the Seventh Border City? More notably... it says 13th in the Premium vs. Magus series.

"Premium vs. Wizard Series # 13?

"Ah... that's still unofficial, but there's a ceremony to appoint him as a Premium vs. Mage in the First Frontier City you're heading to."

"Nh, nnh... that's impossible... how could that fall... even now..."

Dan covers his face with his right hand. Why, why would he... if he thought that was normal, it would have ended here. Dan doesn't want to do anything special to Julia either. Sure, it's hard for Julia to tell me about that time... but I can't help it... Dan had reason to think about it. But Cyrus's hand gradually stretched towards Dan... and it was shaped like a shoulder tie.

Then pink particles flow from behind. Dan inhales it properly, and at the same time his consciousness becomes blurred.

"You hate Julia Curtis, don't you?

"No... I..."

"You hate it, don't you?

"... yes"

"You want more power than he does, right?

"... yes"

"And the human race is over. Don't you think that's a good idea about this side?

"What is this side...?

It's a demon race. I am the Magus. The Magus raid will begin shortly. You catch him there and offer him to me. [M] Do you understand me?

"... yes"

Dan's consciousness is already ambiguous. I don't know what I'm talking about. Still, there was a rebellious thought in my head.

I hate Julia. Hate. Hate. Hate. Hate. Hate. Hate. Hate. Hate. Hate. And we have to act for this one. Yes, you must.

Then I'll give you this.

"... thank you."

Silas takes out the crystal and puts it in front of Dan's forehead. The crystal is then embedded in his head.

……

Are there any rejections? That's good. Now, the Curse. "

Cyrus engraves the Curse on Dan, who is no longer in focus. It is a kind of curse, a magic that controls thoughts and actions as you wish. As a precaution, Cyrus carved a curse on Dan, the Curse.

"All right, I'll take care of it later."

"Yes...."

Dan then made a rough move, but gradually it became solid and walked on.

Looks like it worked.

It was Claudia who came out of the shadows. The particles that clouded your consciousness earlier are the magic Claudia used. Just in case, I had a backup for her. That said, Cyrus could have done it alone, but he has a big job waiting for him in the First Concord City. I didn't want to put so much effort into it now.

"Ah, but I'm afraid it's a bit confusing to remember. You probably don't remember most of this interaction."

"Even so, can you use it?

"A little experiment. There is no obstacle to the plan."

"Can humans acquire the ability to become demons? How do we solve the mystery of Twilight Syndrome?

"Just curiosity. Never mind."

Hmm.

Cyrus and Claudia are only working together with a convergence of interests, and we don't really trust each other. Occasionally, she didn't even know what Cyrus was doing.

But it doesn't matter. Almost there, almost there... the grief will be fulfilled...
