Beast Evolution

"So Ray has something to do with all this, even if he has nothing to do with all this he must know something, that would be why those mages were looking for him," Authur said.

"When we get to the capital, we should meet a mage and cast a spell on him, and ask him everything we need to know," Alfred said.

"That seems like a good plan, we should continue the journey, we need to arrive today," Authur said and the knights headed back to the carriage.

The journey to the capital continued as the senior knights entered the carriage, the other had been destroyed completely.

The senior knights confirm this when the fog started to disperse, so they all had to fit in the small carriage, James sat with the riders in front of the carriage so Authur and Alfred sat with the students.

The journey was smooth, at least for the senior knights because they didn't encounter any beast, but for the students it was bad.

Even Ray was nervous as he was sitting side by side with Alfred, Gabriel was no different, only Leia was carefree and didn't care at all.

...

"Hey Ray, we are here" Ray felt someone touching him.

Ray yawn loudly and stretch his hands, he was pretty tired after the battle that he slept off as soon as the journey continued, his hands hit someone but he didn't care, it would either be Gabriel or Leia because he was sharing a carriage with both of them.

"I see you now think of me as your younger brother" Ray heard Authur's voice.

'Shit, I forgot about the attack, I'm currently in the carriage with the senior knights, then my hands are probably in Authur's face' Ray slowly turned around.

As Ray completely turn around, he found Authur staring at him with killing intent on his face and his hands on his sword.

"I'm very sorry Sir" Ray knelt down and pleaded.

"It's okay, move out," Authur said.

As Authur got down from the carriage, Ray didn't stop begging him till he told Ray if he begs one more time he going to cut off his tongue.

"Welcome Sir" the guards greeted Authur and pave the way for him and the others.

"It seems Sir Authur is quite popular" Gabriel whispered to Ray.

"Yes, we didn't even need to show identifications even though it's night time"

The moon was shining brightly as they stepped into the capital, Ray was reminded of the first time he entered the capital, and then the vision he had came to his mind.

"We'll stay in an inn for the night, or should we stay at the knight's academy," Authur said.

"The knight academy is far from here, I need a proper bed to sleep in," Alfred said.

"Then we'll rent a room," James said and walked in front of everyone.

The students were shown to their room, and they were at least excited to see it was different from the room back at the academy.

The room contained nothing but two beds and a room to their left, Leia happily took one of the beds, and Ray and Gabriel had no choice but to share a bed.

Leia took her bath, Ray also took his bath and changed his clothes cause they were a little sweaty.

"So what are we going to do tomorrow morning?" Gabriel asked as all three of them had settled down.

"Well, Sir Authur said we are free tomorrow morning and we can do whatever we want but I really don't know what to do," Leia said.

"Maybe we should go to the mage academy and see your brother" Ray suggested.

"That's weird, you don't know my brother so why would you enjoy spending time at the mage academy," Gabriel said.

"Don't worry, it would be fun" Ray said.

"I totally forgot you are a mage, that's why you want to go right?" Gabriel asked.

"You haven't really shown us any evidence that supports you being a mage, care to show us some proof," Leia said.

"I wanted to show you guys back at the dorm, but we were caught and I ended up getting suspended," Ray said.

"Okay so show us now," Gabriel said.

"If you have the guts to cut yourself I would gladly show you," Ray said.

"Okay, show us," Leia said and looked at Gabriel as if waiting for him to cut himself.

"So I have no choice but to cut myself" Gabriel sighed and brought out a small knife.

"Wait" Ray shouted and stood up and check if the door was locked.

"What are you doing?" Gabriel asked him.

"I'm not taking any chances," Ray said and locked the door well.

"Okay, are you sure you are going to heal me," Gabriel said.

"Don't worry, even if I don't we are going to the mage academy so you will find a healer, all you have to do is hid it or tell the knights there was an accident" Ray joked.

"Okay" Gabriel used the small knife to cut his left palm, enough for him to bleed.

"Why did you cut it so much, Ray quick heal him" Leia shouted.

"Coming," Ray said as he placed one of his hands on Gabriel's palm.

[Strong healing]

A white light shone on Ray's hand and the blood stopped immediately and then slowly his hands started to heal up and soon it was completely healed.

Gabriel looked at his hand and then back at Ray and was fascinated, how come a healer like this choose the knight academy over the mage academy, he just couldn't understand.

'If I was the one that was able to use magic, I won't think twice before applying for the mage academy and I'm sure everyone would feel the same way, but why is Ray different' Gabriel thought.

"Wow, so you are really a mage," Leia said.

"I told you guys but you wouldn't believe it, Ivan would be so mad if he finds out, please don't tell him," Ray said.

'Shit, what am I saying, I won't return to the knight academy after I defeat the golden haired man' Ray mumbled under his breath.
