Beast Evolution

"Because of Lily..." Leia sneered and walked away.

"Did I do something, Leia..." Ray shouted and ran after her.

"You didn't do anything, we are supposed to be in the knight academy remember," Leia said.

'Lily again... I don't think I can compete against her and win, why did that Sylvia tell me to seduce Ray, urgh... I'm not going to think about that again' Leia said inwardly.

"So you have spatial magic... and you joined the knight academy because Lily was joining too, even if you wanted to lie come up with something better," Gabriel said and walked past them.

"I really don't think spatial magic is that big a deal, I don't even know if mine is spatial magic," Ray said.

"Just stop talking," Leia said.

"Okay..." Ray sighed and followed them.

...

"Master, you haven't told us what we are looking for, you just said an artifact," Vaan said.

"Why are you in a rush, we haven't even gotten to the mage academy yet"

"Nothing... I just thought we should know so we can be able to help"

"I'm looking for a scroll that contains a forbidden magic, no more questions," the man said hoarsely.

"So what's the plan?" Aurora asked.

"Plan... we don't need a plan, we just go to the mage academy and kill everyone there and take the scroll," Ian said.

"If that's the plan, I don't think we need to use the infected beasts anymore, we should just attack only the mage academy and go back home," Vincent said.

"That's not possible, do you know the number of forces that resides in Avalon," the man said.

"But what if the beast ends up destroying Avalon, we didn't come to destory it right?"

"Avalon can't be destory... because of them," the man said and pointed to a group of fierce looking knights.

The knights were dressed in a complete black set of armor, with no part of their body visible except for their faces, each of them held their helmets in their hands as they matched in perfect formation.

"The Royal Knights" Vincent muttered.

The most vicious and ruthless knights in the whole world, this was one of the reasons Avalon can't be attacked.

Every year among all the students that graduated from the knight academy, a maximum of five students is selected to join the Royal Knights.

The black set of armor is one of the biggest strengths of the Royal Knights along with their skill in fighting.

The armor of the Royal Knights are formed from one of the strongest metal in the world, the metal is melted down along with a high tier beast crystal and finally enchanted by powerful mages.

"They look so vicious dressed in all black," Aurora said.

"They don't look vicious, they are vicious... and the worst part of it, their armor has incredible magical resistance, but there are still ways to win against them," Vaan said.

"Mages can't win against them," the master said.

"So what are we going to do, I'm a mage, same as Vincent and Aurora," Vaan said.

"That's why Vincent is here"

"That's a nice plan, so I'm going to swarm the city with infected beasts and the Royal Knights will have no choice but to defeat them, by then master would have retrieved the scroll, mission complete" Vincent smiled.

"Exactly, I'm going to the mage academy, while Vincent would open a portal to one of the dungeons, Aurora and Vaan are going to support him"

"Huh! then what am I supposed to do?" Ian asked.

"Go to that your favorite restaurant and protect the owner so he wouldn't die," Vincent said with laughter.

"You think it's funny, that man's food is breathtaking," Ian said.

"You are coming with me, we are going to the Mage academy together"

"Really, then I would kill anyone that stands in your way, hehehe" Ian smirked.

"So can we start now, it's been long since I fought someone," Vincent said.

"It's not been long, remember when your hands were cut off by a knight, if it wasn't for master and Aurora you would have been dead" Ian smiled brightly.

"Why are you smiling, I wasn't serious when I was battling with him, that's why he was able to defeat me," Vincent said.

"Let's leave that aside and focus on the mission," Vaan said.

"When are we going to get to the mage academy?" Ian asked.

"Stop complaining and keep walking," Vaan said.

The group walked and took a right turn and the mage academy was just some clicks away.

"Finally, I get to use my ax, it's been far too long," Ian said.

"The three of you should move away, so you would draw their attention, when you do we will attack the academy," the man said.

"Okay master," Vaan said and the three of them walked away.

The streets of Avalon were busy as people were everywhere going about their daily life, Ian and the golden haired man stood at the side of a large building and waited patiently.

The five of them wore long robes of different colors but their hood was not covered, only the golden haired man had his hood covered because he would draw attention to himself.

Ray, Leia, and Gabriel exited the mage academy, they didn't talk to each other and just walked quietly to the knight academy.

Ray looked around the capital as they walked through the street, a year ago Ray would never have believed a place like this existed but now he was here.

Ray set his eyes on two men in Black and blue robes standing at the side of large building.

'Those two look shady, they are probably waiting for someone, my imagination is messing with me, besides one of them has his hood off and he doesn't look like a villain' Ray muttered to himself as he walked past them.

"Hmm...so he's here, this would turn out to be an interesting day for you... chosen one" the golden haired man smirked as Ray walked past him.
