Beast Evolution

"I know... let's leave it's already late," Selena said and Ray quickly obeyed.

Both of them climbed on the horse and Selena waited for Ray to start moving but Ray was also waiting for Selena to tell the horse what to do.

"What are you waiting for?" Selena asked him.

"I can't ride a horse remember, you are the one that did something earlier," Ray said.

"So you can't ride a horse" Selena was surprised.

"I told you I can't ride a horse and you said you can't walk all the way here so we took the horse anyway and you controlled it here, don't you remember?"

"You were with my clone earlier, don't you remember?" Selena questioned in a loud voice.

"That's right! sorry I forgot...wait I thought the clones tells you everything that happened or you see it through the clone's eyes"

Selena looked at Ray and shook her head, Ray didn't understand the concept of cloning or how it works, she and her clone speaks through telepathy when she wants and she could sense if the clone is in danger.

"I talk to my clone and give instructions, I only ask about the important kinds of stuff not everything," Selena said.

"Ohh...I thought you could see through the clone's eyes, and I wanted to ask you, which elemental attribute do you possess...I know you have darkness but that is not all, you also have cloning, spatial magic, and probably many more"

"We should keep moving first, we have to go return back before the knights get worried"

"I'm not sure they would be worried, they know you are Selena right" Ray quickly covered his mouth as he said her name, she told him not to call her ma'am but he had never called her name before.

"I'm sorry for calling your name" Ray quickly apologized.

"Just hold the horse, I'll start moving," Selena said and Ray held the horse and they traveled back to the academy.

They traveled back in silence because Ray was afraid that she was angry after he called her name. Selena was just tired and she wanted to focus on getting back and resting, she was glad she found a dungeon crystal.

Normally it was hard to find a dungeon crystal, but Kaan found it immediately, Selena wasn't sure if this particular crystal was hard to find or easy.

"I'm sorry for calling your name" Ray spoke again in a mumble barely audible for Selena to hear.

"What did you say?" Selena spoke.

"I'm sorry for calling your name, master," Ray said making Selena burst into laughter.

"W-Why are you calling me master, I'm not angry at you so don't apologize" Selena spoke in between her laughs.

"So what should I call you?"

"I don't know, when we get to the capital I'm going to revert to the form that you first saw me in, my name is Mila"

"So I should call you Mila, but you are my teacher, should I call you Miss Mila"

"Okay, that sounds good," Selena said.

The silence continued because Ray couldn't bring up his question again, he wanted to know how Selena was able to cast different spells, especially the clones.

Archers were mounted on top of the walls and before they could even reach close to the gates all eyes were on them, it was night so any sudden move they make they would be receiving a shower of arrows.

Ray dragged the horse causing it to stop, even though he couldn't ride a horse he knew how to get them to stop, the horse was trained by knights so it wasn't aggressive which was why Ray could even control it a little.

"What were you doing till dark? I saw you guys leaving in the morning, what were you doing?" the guard outside of the gate asked.

"We went hunting," Selena said.

"Hunting I see...what did you hunt? Where are your weapons?" the guard asked.

"Both of you look suspicious, you guys should step down from the horse," the other guard said immediately.

Selena scoffed before speaking, "Knights... I'm really tired right now so you guys should let me in" Selena said angrily.

"Intruders, take aim" the first guard spoke into a crystal and immediately all the archers close to the gate took aim, the two guards also remove their swords and smirked.

"Uhmm... Miss Mila...you might wanna take it easy, archers are pointing their arrows at us, I don't know if I'm fast enough to dodge an arrow infused with Ki" Ray whispered in Selena's ears.

"I'm a first-year student in the knight academy, you guys saw us leaving earlier today" Ray said but the knights paid no attention to him.

"It seems you guys were bored with guard duty and think you can take it out on me" Selena smiled and closed one of her hands.

She brought the hand close to her mouth and spoke, "False alarm, focus on your duties, guards open the gates"

Immediately all the archers that had their weapons pointed at them retracted it immediately and continue their lookout, a small screeching sound made all of them look towards the door as it was opened from the inside.

Ray was surprised at what was happening, the archers were no more pointing at them and the gates were opened, all because Selena spoke in her hands, it made him even more afraid of her powers.

"Who asked you to open the gates?" the first guard questioned the two guards who opened the gate.

"You told us to open the gates?" the guard said in surprise.

"When did I...You who are you? What did you do with your hand just now?" the guard pointed at Selena.

"You know that we got the permission of Authur right, you wouldn't want me to tell him about what you did," Selena said.

"And what's that supposed to mean...you should go ahead and tell him" the guard shrugged before allowing them to pass after some time.
