บท 91: Not a normal bird
Black Bulls base
Night
Secre could be seen sitting near the window of Julian's room looking at the sky. She was informed by Julian that he was going to the Witch forest while talking to her like he always does.
She was worried about him as she somewhat remembers hearing about the witch queen. Her master, the first wizard king told her that she was a very scary woman and anyone who angered her never saw the light of the day again.
For some reason, she never leaves the witch forest but the witches that are said to be her daughters are scattered all over the clover kingdom. She knows this because she had come across many witches while going on missions with Julian.
It was near midnight but there was no sign of Julian. Unknowingly she fell asleep waiting for him.
Yami who was in his room wondered why Julian wanted to go to the Witch Queen like no one in their right mind will go there.
He knew that Julian was a bit different from the others due to his monstrous comprehension speed and speels that can replicate the effect of other spells.
Then there are his strange eyes that he tells he got from the dungeon. In his entire life of being a magic knight and dungeon records, he has seen a person receiving a new organ or similar thing. He had seen people receive strong magic powers and spirits but never an eye like that.
Those eyes feel like they can see through a person's soul. Entering mind space forcefully, reading movements, mind control, paralysis, etc. but they all work under mana.
The real anomaly is the anti-magic brat whose existence makes no sense. Every living being requires mana to live but that brat is alive without a single drop of mana.
A smile bloomed on his face "Squad of outlaws indeed "

Next morning
"Secre wake up " a gentle voice reached her ear as Secre opened her eyes to find Julian back in his room. Seeing him safe and sound her mood became cheerful as she flew and took her position that was his shoulder.
"Were you worried about me? " Julian asked giving her some food.
Secre nodded while she started eating.
"Secre….you are not a bird but a human right " Julian dropped the bomb
Secre went silent and stopped eating to process what Julian said. She looked at him and saw his menacing red eyes looking into her eyes as if staring into her soul.
"Since the first day I met you, I knew you were not a normal bird. As time went on I could differentiate different mana signatures.
Birds cannot use mana but you can.
You are immune to mana pressure that would make birds immediately lose consciousness.Your entire body is enveloped in a layer of forbidden mana most likely a seal or after effect of using too much-forbidden magic. "
It was true as Julian could see a black aura being emitted from Secre which he didn't see in anyone. Everyone he came across except Asta and William emits a white aura. Asta because he has no mana or William because he has another soul in his body that is supported by forbidden magic.
He had suspected Wizard King's time seal to be forbidden magic too but his aura was the same as others too.
More Julian spoke more Secre felt stoned and didn't know what to do. She liked Julian but didn't want him to kick her out for hiding something.
Julian took out the magic stone from his pocket and kept it in front of her.
"This thing can open your seal right"
Secre was shocked beyond anything. She wondered how Julian knew so much but her gaze met with the red eyes. ' Don't tell me he can see the future.
" I checked some records and found that the first wizard king had an assistant that helped him make magic items, her name was Secre Swallowtail. After the fight with the giant demon, both of them disappeared. It was near the statue of the first wizard king when I first met you. You are the same person right" Julian said making eye contact with a smile.
'Seems like there is no other choice…' Secre nodded her head.
"Were all my conclusions correct? " Julian asked
Secre nodded again with a sad face.
"Don't be guilty, maybe you wanted to tell me but could not do so " Julian gently said.
"So Secre, do you wish to be freed from your seal? "
Secre's eyes lit up with surprise as he heard Julian. She looked up asking if there was a way. She knew that gathering all the magic stones would do it but she had no idea where the magic stone was or if they are usable anymore.
If she is freed from her seal, she can inform him about the true history and the devil that will awaken soon.
"You want it right? So be it. It may take a few days but I guarantee you that it would work " Julian said as all the gloominess of Secre disappeared.
" So Secre let me tell you a story about the Ragnvindr clan "
Secre didn't mind and got close to him to hear the story.
…
..
.
"So this is what I know about myself so far…
When I unlock my eyes a step further….I will be able to help you and unlock your seal"
*Flashback to a day before *
"So you are telling me I can use forbidden magic to an extent without any side effects because of my eyes? " Julian asked shocked by the information
"Yes, you can "The witch queen replied
"Can you teach me forbidden magic? " Julian asked the witch queen.
" I can but currently your eyes are not enough to negate the effect of forbidden magic " Witch queen.
"When you reach the next stage of your eyes, come to me and I will teach your forbidden magic"
She gave Julian a piece of paper with complex magic circles made on it. As soon as Julian held it, the paper shined and the same structure formed on his Grimoire.
"This will give rise to new spells for you when you unlock your third tomoe"
"Where did you get this from? "
"This page was created by my mother for you to pass on to when the time comes," Witch queen said
*Flash back ends*
[Aye Kiddo, why are you sure about telling her about your past ] Kirin's voice rang out inside Julian's head.
'Don't worry about it, I trust her. Have you started working on the stone?'
[Yeah, don't worry about it. The new spell on your Grimoire…I recognize that spell. I will help you master that when the time comes]
'Thanks for that'
Secre who heard Julian's past had tears in her eyes. She never had expected the history behind his eyes and the witch queen could be that.
"You don't have to shed tears, I have a family right, and a friend like you who listens to me "
