Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

Gabriel had taken a completely different look, thanks to the Ring of Apophis. Because of the ring, he wasn't restricted to just one look.

His new look appeared to be inspired by a young man he had seen before in the city of Abadon. Since he didn't want to waste time trying to come up with a completely new look, he used one from his memories, especially since there was no way for that person to be there.

He kept his attire the same as any other Mage of Light was supposed to use at the academy. The only thing different in the attire was the badge.

Since each student badge had a different number, he made the badge show a random number instead of the one that actually belonged to him. He did everything he could to make sure that suspicions didn't reach him in case something went awry.

He entered the Dorm behind Hawrin without raising much suspicion. He even maintained a safe distance of five meters while keeping his footsteps silent as he followed the young man.

Even though it was so late at night, he could still see some students walking in the hallway. Most of them appeared to be senior students.

Unfortunately, one of those senior students paid attention to him.

"Wait right there." A call came from the back.

Gabriel stopped in his tracks and looked back.

He noticed a young man who had long black hair. The man was in his mid-twenties and already a third-year student.

"I've never seen you before. Are you a new student?"

Gabriel didn't want to lose Hawrin, but he also couldn't ignore a senior at a time like this.

"I'm a new student. I joined just today," Gabriel answered. "That's probably why you haven't seen me."

"Senior!" The dark-haired man firmly stated.

"What?" Gabriel frowned. Why was this man shouting a random word?

"I'm your senior. You should call me Senior when addressing me. I didn't hear 'Senior' in your statement! You think you can answer me like I'm your equal?" the man started scolding Gabriel, wasting even more of his time.

If the man's intent was to frustrate Gabriel, then he was succeeding. Not only was the man wasting his time, but he was also scolding him.

Fortunately, Gabriel didn't lose his calm.

"I apologize, Senior. I am new. I'll keep that in mind from now on."

"Oh, a new student. Did no one tell you the rules? What are you doing out here so late? First day and you're already breaking the rules? Why aren't you in your room?"

'Just my luck. Even Hawrin should be a first-year student, but this idiot just had to stop me.'

Being interrogated in the middle of the hallway while Hawrin kept going farther from him was frustrating. However, Gabriel couldn't do much else other than answer.

"I was in my room, but I dropped something while standing on the balcony. I had to go out to retrieve it. Senior, can I go back?"

The man opened his lips, but before he could speak, a shout came from behind. "Roy, what are you doing there? Come fast; we're going to be late!"

The man looked at the source of the voice, gazing at another third-year student standing near the entrance, gesturing for him to come.

"I'm coming!" The dark-haired man responded as he started walking to the man, but not before warning Gabriel. "Next time, don't roam out so late."

"Himself going out so late, but scolding me for the same. What an idiot," Gabriel muttered under his breath, watching the man leave.

"Ah, right! Hawrin!" He looked back, wondering if it was too late. He started chasing in the direction Hawrin went in.

Fortunately, at this time, Hawrin hadn't reached too far. Hawrin had just started climbing the stairs.

Gabriel also went up the stairs. Fortunately, he was able to catch up to the young man, never truly losing him.

Hawrin stepped into the hallway, which was on the floor right beneath Gabriel's floor. It was the same floor where Lelin was also staying. Surprisingly, the room of Hawrin was also right beside Lelin's room. The two were technically neighbors.

Hawrin stopped before his room. He opened the door with the key he was given and stepped inside the room, closing the door from inside.

At the moment, there was only Gabriel in the hallway. He stopped before Hawrin's room and checked his surroundings once again.

After making sure no one was there, he used the Ring again. He changed his attire, making it appear like the attire of the Mages from Element of Flames.

When he first received the ring, even he hadn't expected that the ring was going to be so useful. He was literally the lord of disguise with the ring on his fingers.

He changed his looks, making him appear like Yann Raini, the young man from the Raini Family who seemed to be the leader of Hawrin's group. If there was any person that Hawrin was going to allow inside his room without making much noise, it was Yann.

The only thing he did differently in his disguise was to leave the badge. He didn't show a fake badge since he didn't know the number of the badge which was used by Yann. Instead of using a fake one and making Hawrin suspicious, it was better to use none.

After preparing his new look, he knocked on Hawrin's door.

****

Hawrin had just taken off his robe when he heard the knocking on the door.

He left the robe on the bed and walked to the door. "Who could be here at this hour?"

He opened the door. His eyes widened as soon as he saw Yann standing at the door.

"Brother Yann? Come inside fast before anyone sees you!" Hawrin grabbed the hands of Gabriel and pulled him inside his room. After bringing Gabriel inside, he peeked outside to make sure no one saw him.

He sighed in relief.

"What are you even doing here? Do you know how dangerous it can be? You can be expelled, even if you're from the Raini Family. If you needed something, you could've waited till tomorrow."

He closed the door and turned around. However, as soon as he turned around, his face turned pale. Yann wasn't standing behind him! Instead, it was Gabriel!

Gabriel had removed all his disguise, returning to his real form. Now that he was here, he wanted Hawrin to see who it was.

Hawrin was so shocked that no voice came from his throat initially. It was as if he had lost his voice in shock.

Before he could find his voice and react, Gabriel appeared before him, holding a wooden bat in his hand that he had picked up from the room itself.

The bat came swinging, straight hitting Hawrin's skull.

Thud~

The smack sent Hawrin flying through the room. His head bled as he crashed on top of the table.

The whole debacle was very loud, but still, not even a shred of voice got out of the room. From what Gabriel was told by Riya, all the rooms in the dorms were made soundproof. No matter what they did inside, it wasn't going to trouble the people in the surrounding rooms or outside.

"I must say, I see the appeal of the bat. I understand why you used it to attack me," Gabriel glanced at the bat in his hand, smiling devilishly.
