Bell nodded. "After that, I couldn't muster up the motivation to rebel. Even now, I don't want to… but…!" He clenched his fists. "I have to do something…!"

Azael munched on chocolate chips. "You actually fought Sir Lucius… he teaches the Special Combat class."

"Someone that important teaches a class?" Bell thought.

Azael threw another handful of chocolate chips into his mouth. "It sounds like he used Imperium on you.

"Imperium?"

"Yeah, a technique that inflicts one's will on another. It affects the victim's brain to the point where their entire personality and moral code could be changed and they wouldn't notice. You could even command a whole army of loyal servants with Imperium."

Bell shuddered. "So that guy… changed me?!"

Azael nodded. "Mm." He ate some more chocolate.

"How am I supposed to go back to normal?! I can't do anything like this!!"
