"Wait...do you work for Santa Claus?" Ray asked eagerly.

"How do you know" the elves quickly asked back.

"Do you know them? And who is Santa Claus?" Leia asked.

"That's not important, what are these creatures wearing? I haven't seen anything like it before" Ivan shouted.

Immediately the elves removed short daggers from their back and pointed them toward the group.

"Do you think we would be afraid of a tiny dagger from a tiny creature" Sofia laughed at them.

The elves looked at themselves and back at them, immediately both of the elves threw the dagger toward the group. They were still outside of the building so they jumped sideways to avoid the daggers.

Before they could stand up the two elves dashed out of the building with speed, their speed was unbelievable and for some reason, they could run on top of the snow without sinking in.

"We should chase after them" Ray shouted.

"Don't worry" Sofia mumbled, she inhaled the cold air that blew around and exhale slowly till her hands were steady.

"Don't kill it...we need to question it?' Leia said.

"You don't need to tell me" Sofia sneered as she let go of her arrow, the arrow traveled with a swooshing sound and landed on one of the legs of the elf.

As soon as the arrow landed the elf fell into the snow and the other elf stopped to help the first one up, but the group was already running toward them.

"They said they were waiting for their master earlier...so he had to be the one that stole everyone" Sofia spoke.

"Then their master is Santa Claus..." Ray was still surprised by all that was happening.

'First, how did Santa manage to cross over from the modern world to this world, is not like Santa has magical powers or does he'

The group caught both elves and raised them by holding both of their hands.

"Speak...where are the people you captured?" Leia shouted.

"Who are you guys? Are you really elves? Are elves normally tiny or are you guys exceptions?" Ivan asked immediately.

"That is not important Ivan, the students and knights are the main priority...then we can ask them about that later," Sofia said.

"The people we kidnap are with our master" the elves spoke.

"Where is your master right now" Leia shouted.

"Ho Ho Ho" a loud voice echoed throughout the whole knight academy.

'Santa Claus' Ray mumbled under his breath.

"What is that" Sofia pointed to the sky, all of them looked towards the sky and saw a flying object heading towards them at full speed.

"Magical beast..." Sofia shouted and grabbed an arrow aiming at the flying reindeer coming toward them.

When the reindeers came closer all of them could see it was carrying something behind it.

"What's that?"

"Wait... that's really Santa" Ray shouted.

The reindeers flew with a sleigh behind them, and a figure was on the sleigh, the reindeers flew past them without stopping and the group watched as the reindeers flew past them.

[Dark Energy detected]

"Infected beast" Ray shouted and alerted the others and all of them looked around searching for the beast.

*Boom*

A loud sound made all of them turn around and that was when they saw it.

In front of them was a portly, white-bearded man, wearing a red coat with white fur collar and cuffs, white-fur-cuffed red trousers, red hat with white fur, and a black leather belt and boots.

"Santa..." Ray shouted unconsciously.

Santa Claus's eyes were pure black and two sickles were in his hands as he stare at the group with bloodshot eyes.

"Master" one of the elves shouted.

Without wasting time Sofia fired an arrow toward Santa but despite his size, Santa sidestepped to the right and avoided the arrow fired at close range.

"What just...how did he dodge that?" Sofia was surprised.

"Guys...I think he's angry" Ivan spoke in a low voice.

Ray stepped in front of them and dropped the sword he was holding into the snow, immediately both of his blood spears appeared and he inhaled sharply.

*Boom*

Both of them ran towards each other at top speed, Santa was the first to strike Ray with his sickle.

Ray held his spear and blocked both of the sickles, his spear was still in its smaller form so he pushed Santa away and stretch the spear forward.

"Increase" Ray mumbled and his blood spear increased in size immediately.

Santa reacted quickly by jumping backward, he scoffed because speaking to Ray.

"Let my elves go" Santa spoke in a cold voice.

"First tell me where you took everyone then we might consider freeing your elves, and I didn't know Santa was evil" Ray sneered.

"What are you talking about...how am I evil, and I didn't take anybody" Santa spoke in a confusing tone.

"Wait...what are you doing here?" Ray asked.

"I came here to deliver gifts, I had people cause a distraction so I can deliver gifts to everyone secretly"

"I thought you always deliver gifts at night?"

"That's because I have to get to earth at night to deliver more gifts," Santa said.

"Then what about your eyes I thought you were infected," Ray said.

"These are newly developed contact lenses," Santa said as he removed one of the black contact lenses and his eyes were revealed.

"How do you two know each other? And what is he wearing? that's very strange I wonder who made it?" Ivan asked question after question.

"Ray, if he isn't the infected one, what did you sense?" Leia asked.

"I don't know...Santa how do you know how to use a weapon?"

"A weapon...well I usually visit lots of worlds so just in case some of them are hostile, they are coming, I should get going, you never say me" Santa said as he ran towards the group and grabbed both of his elves.

"Wait..."

[Strong healing]

Ray healed the leg of the injured elf and Santa whistled and his reindeers came running towards him. Santa climbed his sleigh and his reindeers took to the sky.

"Merry Christmas, Ho Ho Ho" Santa shouted as he flew away.
