Chapter 53 53 Second Chance
Ray eliminated the first one quickly and wanted to help Jack, "Ray dodge" Jack shouted and Ray turn his head and a sword was right in front of him.
Jack clashed swords with one of the boys and he retreated back and flung his sword towards Jack, Jack dodged the sword and it went straight toward Ray.
Ray couldn't dodge the sword and it hit him on the head, Ray was immediately teleported out of the arena.
Ray appeared back in the hall where the other failed candidates where, the hall was half empty meaning most of them had gone home in anger, 'shit, I really wanted to pass this exam' Ray sighed as he looked for a chair to seat.
In the arena Jack had quickly eliminated the boy that threw his sword in attempt to eliminate Jack, "okay, that is exactly 100 students, congratulations you have passed the knight academy exam" the knights announced.
The students that passed let out a sigh of relief, some fell to the ground and some of them shouted in happiness, 'that was my fault, I should have blocked the sword' Jack was angry, even though he always wants Ray to fail the exam, it still pained him that Ray actually failed the exam.
"Hey Jack, did you see Ray?" Arya asked as she and Lily walked towards Jack, "he failed, it was my fault".
"Did you eliminate him by mistake?" Lily asked, "no, a boy threw his sword towards me and I dodged it, I didn't know Ray was at my back".
"Okay students move back to the hall and await further instructions".
Ray didn't even look around and just sat down, 'i really wanted to pass this exam and see what it's like to train with a sword'
"I knew you would fail" a voice said from behind, Ray turn back to see who it was, it was the silver hair girl who he eliminated while she was fighting Jack, "it was a mistake, I wasn't supposed to fail"
"But you did, you can't even beat me one on one, if not for your that boy I would have been the one of eliminate you" the girl said coldly.
Ray didn't want to argue with her because he was very angry, "I guess your luck ran out" Ray said and faced his front.
All the remaining students entered the hall, some of them laughed at the students that failed while some sympathized with them.
"I'm sorry, it's my fault" Jack said, "what!!.." Ray was shocked to hear this from Jack, "it's not your fault, I wasn't looking at my back that's all, so did the girls also pass"
"Yes" Arya said happily then she lower her voice when she remembered that Ray had failed, "what are you going to do now" Lily asked.
"I don't really know, I think I'll stick to being an adventurer, maybe I may have the opportunity to join a top guild" Ray laughed.
"Attention" a knight shouted and the hall was silent, everyone rushed to take seats, "I received an update just now, the students that failed have one more chance left to pass the exam"
Hope returned to the eyes of students that didn't pass, Ray was one of them, he was extremely happy with this announcement, this time he would pass for sure.
"But" the knight said and everyone knew that something was up, "this time you are going to face one of the knight one on one, any knight of your choosing"
"What, that's insane, who can win against a well trained knight", "that's not fair" the students complained. "Most of the students are not going to take the test, will you take it?" Arya asked Ray.
"Yes, I'm feeling lucky" Ray smirked and they all looked at Ray wondering why he was smiling that way.
"If you still want to try, the rule are simple, you will be given three minutes, within that three minutes if you can land just a touch of your sword on the body of the knight you win"
"Just a touch, that's easy", "even if it's just a touch, to face a knight is not an easy challenge" the students mumbled to themselves.
"If you wish to retake the test come to the arena now" the knight said and the students quickly rushed to the arena, the students that passed also went there to watch.
Several knight stood in front of the students, "choose anyone of them and start".
A girl went first, she quickly chose the only female knight there thinking that she would be more easier than male.
The female knight was given a wooden sword and the girl was also given a wooden sword, "just a touch and it's over" the girl mumbled to her self and held her sword tightly.
"Start..."
The girl rushed towards the female knight and attempt to touch her feet, the female knight move with a quick action that none of the students could follow.
*Boom*
The female knight struck the girl at her back and she fell to the ground, "what just happened", "I didn't see a thing" the students were surprised.
The girl quickly stood up and attacked the knight again and the same thing happened, the rowdy crowd of students had gone silent and the other students who fail knew that there was no chance of winning.
Ray took his eyes off the battle and looked at the remaining knight, 'which of them am I going to face' Ray pondered.
"Time up" Ray heard and looked at the battle, the girl was on the ground with her sword far from her, "this is a waste of time, none of the students are going to pass unless we let them" the female knight said to the leading knight.
"Don't worry, I know".
The next candidate stepped up and picked a male knight, Ray used this opportunity to think of a way to pass.

As Ray continued to think of a counter measure, a surprising thing had happened, the students shouted loudly and cheered, a student had finally passed.
Ray looked to see who passed and was surprised to see the girl with silver hair had passed, "what happened?" Ray asked one of the students.
"Watch the battle, I don't know" the boy sneered at him as he was angry that he failed and she had passed, the students were given hope as one of them had passed, more of them kept on trying.
Finally it was Ray's turn, no other students had passed since the silver hair girl so no one expected Ray to pass, he stepped forward and chose the female knight surprising everyone.
After the skill and strength she showed in the first round no one chose her as they were all afraid.
"Why did he choose her, she is more stronger than the rest" Arya said, "maybe he has a plan" Jack said.
"Ready, start"
Ray stood still and watch what she was going to do, "what are you doing, attack me your time is going to run out if you don't attack" the female knight said.
"I'm know", Ray walked slowly towards her, "you know you can't beat me right" she said, "I know, I just wanted to test my theory".
"Your theory" she scoffed "as a female, I had to train twice as hard to get people to acknowledge me, so you really don't stand a chance to even touch me"
Ray charge toward her and swung his sword, she moved so fast that the students didn't see her, she swung her sword to hit Ray on his head but surprisingly he dodged the attack.
Ray quickly turn around to face her, "what happened, how did he dodge her attack" Arya was surprised.
"Hmm, that boy must have trained hard" the head knight said, "that's was just a fluke" she told Ray.
"We'll see about that, you think because you train hard you are stronger, sometimes talent beat hard work" Ray smiled.
"What did you say" the female knight was now
angry and ready to crush Ray, 'my plan is working, I wonder if I can really win, I just need her to lose her temper and attack me recklessly, then I may have a chance'
