Beast Evolution

A loud sound echoed throughout the whole academy as a giant bell was rung.

"That's the bell" James spoke.

"We are leaving now... Selena come with us" Alfred shouted as all of them ran outside of the prison.

"The enemy is really smart to attack us at midnight using beast, first we have to access the situation, we're going to the Frontline," Authur said and Alfred and James nodded.

"Selena come with us, we need someone with your powers," Authur said and Selena nodded.

She also wanted to be on the Frontline, she isn't a regular mage who has only long-range spells and prefers to stay far from the enemy.

"First you guys should take the students to safety, take him with you," Alfred said to the knights that were with them.

"What!! you can't take me away, I need to be on the frontlines" Ray shouted.

"You need to be where...this is a war, are you familiar with wars, this isn't a one on one battle where you can focus on one opponent, go with them, and will end this once and for all" Authur sneered and dash forward.

Alfred, James, and Selena quickly followed him, the knights held Ray and dragged him back to the dorm.

Ray was pissed off, he knew they were right but he still wanted to fight, Draco would most likely be among them, and given the size of their army, they couldn't have possibly walked here.

As Ray was being dragged back all the academy was already under alert, all the students were already outside and the knights were already in the armory picking out weapons and armor.

"What is happening?" a student shouted.

"That's Ray...why is he being dragged," Lily said.

"Don't panic, all of you should come with me" the knight shouted as he reached where the students were.

Ray had no choice but to join the students as they were led to where the second year students were.

Ray's friends immediately jogged towards him, Gabriel, Ivan, Sofia, Leia, Jack, Lily, Arya, Crystal, Martha, Dan, and some other students Ray had interacted with.

They reached where the second year students were and all of them were already outside, some knights were there and they began to jog toward the underground room.

"Ray, what is happening?" Leia asked him.

"Leia...is your body okay now, how is your head?" Ray asked her.

"Leia is fine now...what is going on?" Ivan shouted as they began running.

Ray knew all of them had an idea of what was happening, but still he didn't want to scare them.

"I don't really know...the knights just told me to go back and then we would be taken away till the issue is resolved," Ray told them.

"So it's nothing major," Sofia said.

"If it's nothing major, why would we be transferred to the underground room, that's to protect students in case of emergency" Gabriel spoke.

'I can't possibly stay here with them, I saw a message that the awakening was completed, if Kaan is right then I can use all his demon powers, even though I won't be as powerful as him, I should be able to avoid dying'

'Draco would be the one leading the army, but why would he bring an army just to obtain a scroll...wait does he wants to destroy the knight academy?'

'When he attacked the capital, even though he brought an army they would be killed off by the Royal knights, but here Draco can be able to conquer the knight academy'

"Ray... Ray... Ray" Ivan shouted and touched him.

"What, what's wrong?" Ray shouted.

"You were in deep thought and moving slowly, what are you thinking about?" Ivan asked.

"I can't be here...I need to leave" Ray said and looked around.

"Ray what is wrong with you, are you mad...what do you think you are trying to do" Lily shouted in anger.

"She's right, this is not a situation where you can jump in, don't forget what happened at the capital, do you want something like that to occur again," Gabriel said.

"We are here... everyone in" the knight in front of the group announced.

As Ray looked around, knights were running around in the academy and if he tries to make a run for it they would spot him.

"Move move..." a loud voice shouted and the sounds of footsteps echoed drawing everyone's attention.

The third-year students were fully dressed in armor and had swords along with shields, some of them with bows, and most of them had dual swords.

"If I join this group, no one would question me but I need equipment...wait I have a [Transformation spell]" Ray mumbled.

Ray was still looking at the third-year students when he was grabbed by a knight.

"What are you spacing out for, move" the knight pushed Ray inside the room and he had no choice but to walk down the stairs that led to a large room.

The underground room was large enough to hold all the students in the knight academy, crystals were at every end and corner lighting up the room, Ray could feel intense Mana radiating from the walls of the room.

"A powerful spell...I'm not sure I would be able to leave here"

All the first-year students were now inside and the second-year students were next, Ray and his friends gathered at one corner of the room.

"Gabriel, what happened to Ray at the capital?" Lily asked.

"Nothing..." Gabriel quickly replied.

"You said something happened to him and it shouldn't repeat itself, what are you hiding?" Ivan questioned Gabriel.

"I have to leave here," Ray said making all of them look at him.

"Are you mad, where do you think you are going besides you can't leave here" Crystal snorted.

"Ray please tell us, what is happening?" Lily asked.

"I'm going to tell you guys, but you shouldn't freak out or get scared" Ray whispered.

"We are knights, why would we get scared" Jack sneered.

"Hold that thought..."
