Beast Evolution

"I don't think it works that way" Lily said and the group laughed. Ray looked at Lily 'at least she's not angry with me anymore, I wonder what made her angry before, well only one way to find out'

...

The group arrived at the knight academy before dawn, they were directed to a big hall where they settled down. The inside of the knight academy was like a regular compound it was just bigger.

"Is this where we are going to be trained?" Ray asked, "I don't think so" Arya replied, "the knight academy has different quarters all around the world, maybe we're going to a different place" Jack said.

After a while, a knight came forward, "welcome to the knight academy, you would be leaving the city in a short time, I hope you are all prepared, well technically you're all adults so it's not a big deal right"

"Yes" the students answered collectively.

"Do you guys know where we're going?" Ray asked again, "hey, you ask a lot of questions, we can go to any village or place to start training it doesn't matter" Jack said.

The knight left the students and went out, almost an hour had passed and no one came to the hall.

"Do you think they forgot about us" Arya said, "I'm really tired, we're just seating down doing nothing, when do we leave" Lily complained.

The door opened and all the students looked up to see who came in, people came in with food and served the students, the people that came in were wearing ordinary clothing and none of them looked like knights.

"Eat your fill we're leaving soon" a voice announced, "what's this" Ray said with a disgusted look, "what you don't like it, it's soup and bread not poison" Jack said as he saw Ray's face.

Ray took the spoon and took a little of the soup to taste it, "hmm, it's quite good, it tastes like Chinese soup" Ray said making the rest of them to look at him strangely.

"What's Chinese soup?" Arya asked, Ray realized that he wasn't in the urban world anymore, "nothing, it's nothing just a type of soup", "why do you keep saying strange things" Lily said.

"Strange things, I don't understand..." Ray said, "you keep acting like someone who lost his memories" Jack said.

Ray didn't say anything and just changed the topic, 'i have to blend in or else people around me would get suspicious' Ray mumbled as he ate his food.

"Time to go" the knight told them as soon as he came in, the students were already told to pack light, because their equipment would be arranged by the knight academy.

Soon they arrived at the city gate and found different carriages waiting for them, each carriage contained at least 10 students, the carriages were very tight but they had no choice.

The carriages were 11 in number, the first one was occupied by four knights who introduced themselves as Alfred, James, Authur and ivy who was the female knight.

It's has been 2 hours since they left the capital and they haven't arrive, the carriage Ray was in contained ten students all of them being boys were busy staring at Lily and Arya.

Lily and Arya knew that would happen so they chose to stay in the middle of Ray and Jack, the students mumbled among themselves, suddenly the carriage came to a stop. "We're finally here" one of the students said and rushed to get down.

As all the students exited the carriage, their happiness died out when they were told that they would camp here for the night.

The knights chose an empty space near the forest, the students quickly went to work as they were told to set up camp and dig fire pit to settle for the night.

The students were divided in groups to stay in the tent, five students were assigned to each tent, Ray and his group including the silver hair girl were sharing their tent.

The senior knight constructed their tent close to where Ray's tent was, the knights were bickering and joking with one another, most of the students had gone to sleep while some stayed awake.

The problem was the female knight ivy, she would often shoot glances at Ray, Ray knew she was still angry about the fight earlier but he ignored her stares.

Ray went to sleep first as was starting to get afraid that the female knight would beat him any second.

Ray lay on the sheet that was laid on the ground, it was like he was lying on bare ground but that didn't matter.

'Now that I've made the knight academy what next, I really don't know what I should be doing, hey system do I have a task or a quest'

[No tasks or quests currently]

Ray sighed weakly, he shut his eyes and tried to go to sleep.

Ray eyes opened and he stretched his hands, he touched someone, he quickly turned around and saw that it was Jack, "I fell asleep" Ray said and stood up.

It wasn't morning yet but he wanted to ease himself, Ray stepped out of the tent and went inside the forest a little far from the tent.

"Haa, nice" Ray smiled as he ease himself. A sound made Ray to stop in his tracks, he quickly bent his head down, he heard the sound again and slowly creep towards the direction where the sound was coming from he had already activated his night vision from the beginning.

"That's not a beast" Ray muttered, as he got close he saw the silver hair girl training, "wow, she's really talented" Ray muttered, "yeah, tell me about it" a voice spoke close to Ray.

"Haa" Ray shouted and fell on his butt, "shush it" the boy said quickly, "who's there" the girl shouted.

The boy put his hands on his lips and signal Ray to keep quiet, "I know I heard something is anyone there, maybe it's a beast" the girl said and rushed towards the bush where Ray and the other boy were.

Ray saw her coming close and as soon as she got there she swung her sword towards the bush.

*Clang*

Her sword hit another metallic object, Ray stood up quickly, her sword hit Ray's blood spear.

"Hi" Ray said, "are you spying on me" she shouted.

"No it's not what you think, I heard a noise and I followed it thinking it was a beast" Ray said and looked around him, the other boy was nowhere to be found, when she swung her sword, the boy had already dodged before Ray's blood spear appeared.

"What are you looking at, is someone there" She said angrily and looked through the bushes, "why did you shout earlier?" the girl asked him.

Ray couldn't tell her that someone was here with him, she wouldn't believe that, and even if she believed it she would think both of them were spying on her.

"I thought I saw a spider" Ray lied, "are you afraid of spiders, why would a boy be afraid of spiders" she scoffed and walked away.

"Hey, can we train together" Ray said, "why should we, go train somewhere else" the girl replied.

Ray left the girl and headed back to camp, 'how did that boy managed to slip away like that' Ray wondered as he walked back.

The boy that was with Ray was the third person who passed by touching a knight with the wooden sword, Ray could see him clearly because of his night vision but he had no idea how he managed to escape.

...

"How did he do that, I saw his hands, he wasn't holding a weapon, how come when she slash her sword two sword appeared in his hands" the blond boy mumbled to himself, he had returned to his camp without waking anyone up. 𝒇𝑟𝐞𝐞w𝐞𝑏𝙣𝑜vℯl.co𝑚

"That's strange, is he a mage... no he can't be".

Ray finally reached the camp, "who's there" a voice called, "it's me, I went to ease myself" Ray replied and turn around.

"You went to ease yourself with your weapon" ivy said pointing at Ray's hand, Ray already forgot about his weapon and he had no explanation to give, "what were you really doing" ivy asked.

"I was training" Ray answered and she shook her head, "we are going to have a rematch when we get to the academy, train harder" she said and left him.

"Wait, did she just encourage me, hmm I thought she was a bad person, turns out she's kind of good" Ray smiled and headed towards his own tent.
