What Happened in The Back Alley Mage’s Return Chapter 17?

Things begin in The Back Alley Mage’s Return Chapter 17 with Aster meeting his new roommate, Paul, the best student in the combat department. Paul gives a few conditions, saying that he does not mind what Aster does and wants them not to bother each other, not to have any late-night conversations, and to avoid mixing things up. He is tested by Aster, who suddenly leaps, seizing him with his sword when he is naked.

The control of Paul impresses Aster, who smirks and simply tells him that they can do it his way, but he should not complain when Aster sings all night long. Paul retreats, and the friend of Aster, Damian, arrives, eager to visit the academy. Aster is dragged around the huge Zenyion Academy by Damian at night. They look like children on a field trip—Damian is so excited about a lake, telling him they do not have one at his place. Aster jests that he will simply excavate a hole and pour water in it and call it Blood, Sweat, and Tears.

They see a cool wizard statue, and Damian wants one as well, perhaps a dragon. Aster goes along; however, deep down he feels something off. He spies on concealed characters—troubleshooters belonging to the Deculan tribe—observing them. There are seven, probably ten in total, around the Second Magic Research Institute, where the laboratory of Professor Perun is. Aster notices that Deculan believes that Professor Perun is an accomplice to a person called Henzy.

They have something huge in mind. Later in the night, Aster peeps at two members of Deculan who are meeting on a rooftop. They talk of some emergency order: meet at the nest of the target (the position of Professor Perun) since Henzy will be moving an objective there at midnight. They fear that they will have a good professor without the finest reserves, but Fire Demon Kalahan, a cold-hearted deputy commander of the mage corps of Deculan, is coming.

What will Happen in The Back Alley Mage’s Return Chapter 18?

Probably in The Back Alley Mage’s Return Chapter 18, the author continues the furious battle at the laboratory of Professor Perun. Things are going to become complicated at Zenyion Academy since Aster has interfered with the late-night assault on Deculan. The focus of the chapter should be on the consequences of whatever magic battle just happened, maybe academy officials investigating the commotion and inquiring.

Aster is likely to have to cover his tracks in order to pass as an ordinary student. His roommate, Paul, would be curious of Aster being out late at night, especially when there were magical explosions being heard around. Paul has a keen sense of combat, and this may lead to him picking up on something that does not tally. In the meantime, Damian will probably be on the verge of fainting over his friend, and he will need to be reassured.

Their mission also failed, but the Deculan organization will not surrender easily. Their cold-hearted deputy commander, Fire Demon Kalahan, likely fled or withdrew and will be nursing revenge. This may imply more threatening agents getting into the academy or attacking Aster himself. Professor Perun also may discover that someone has saved him and begin inquiries about his mysterious defender.

On the less serious front, there will be a bit of humor; Aster has to find a balance between his secret mage activities and ordinary student life. His all-nighter may make him fall asleep in classes, creating embarrassing moments. A romantic subplot may also be developed in case any of the female characters become more engaged in the story.
