Chapter 51
Sebastian could no longer stand. blood dripping from every part of his body, his face was an unrecognisable mess, split lips, torn ear and his once white sash now turned red.
With the fight now over. Ray had quickly fled the scene. Using his black night skills it was easy for him to disappear into the crowd and not be followed.
Ray's roommates were still in shock at the sight they had just seen. Even Slyvia and Ian who had their doubts about Ray being week were surprised. They knew he was strong but he was on a different level. It was as if a master knight was schooling a student.
"Wow, the black knight skills are too OP, how are we meant to stop an attack like that," Dan said.
Monk was replaying the scene in his head of when Ray had used the Phantom strike.
"No, none of us can do what he just did."
"Has he been hiding his strength form us this whole time?" Kyle asked.
"Wait, does this mean now Ray and Gary are going to fight for number the number one spot!" Dan shouted.
The people around them had overheard Dan they started to move closer towards the group hoping to catch some gossip.
Gary tried to wave off the people around him and said.
"He's already beaten me before, there is no need for a second fight, I know I have no chance.
Gary's words had shocked the people around him, they wondered when did the two of them fight, it had had to be before they had been given their ranking communicator.
But Gary's words were more like a confirmation to them, they had seen how easily Ray had defeated Sebastion. Although no one would say Gary was weaker then Sebastion, he would have never been able to bully Sebastion the same way Ray had done.
News had travelled quickly around the school. On one of the top floors in the central building of Avrion academy, the master knights had gathered for a meeting.
"He should be given the death
"You're letting blood ties drive your emotion, you must think like a knight and not a father. The boy broke no rules." Sir K said.
"Did you see the state of my son, his face will be messed for weeks, no normal child could torture someone this bad, he's as evil as Sen himself."
Rose backed up Delbert.
"I agree, he could become the destroyer of the kingdom just as the prophecy foretold."
"May I remind you the prophecy had also stated that a red-haired boy would be our saviour, trying to kill or expel them might be the doom for us all.
We shall cast a vote, those in favour of expelling the boy raise their hand." Wilfred suggested.
Delbert and Rose had raised their hand while Bernardo and Sir K head left their hand down.
"I guess I have the deciding vote, the boy shall remain at Avrion academy, there shall be no punishment on the boy."
Delbert slammed the table in response but said nothing. He knew there was nothing he could do to get the decision overturned, even he respected the rules of Avrion Academy. A sudden thought had come to Delbert's mind if he could not do anything to harm the boy, then perhaps someone else could.
Tonight had been a tiring day. When I had got back to my room Ian and Dan couldn't help but ask me all sorts of question. Where you always this strong? how did you do that Phantom strike? I just told them that I never liked to be in the limelight and preferred to stay low. The phantom strike was a black sash secret so I couldn't tell them anyway.
Monk had come up to me and thanked me but I was still unsure over what. Was it the fact that I had gotten revenge for him, or that I stopped attacking Sebastion when he asked to me? The whole situation had me confused.
I went up to the roof of the building as usual. It was my relaxing spot, my time on my own. I was looking at the night sky when I heard the door shut from behind me. When I turned around I was surprised to see Slyvia.
"I thought you would be up here." She said.
"I can think better up here."
Slyvia came over and leaned over the edge next to me looking at the view. I never found humans beautiful but with her silver hair flowing in the wind, she looked special compared to the rest of the girls.
"You're thinking about Monk, right? why he asked you to stop?"
"How did you know?"
"Ray, you're strange you know that? You've never been good at talking to people, its as if you don't understand human emotions. You don't understand why we get sad or happy. When I look at you I see a very angry person, whos confused. When I see you I want to help you."
I looked Slyvia in the eye.
"Are you scared of me Slyvia?"
It took a moment for her to answer.
"Sometimes, but I don't think you're a bad person."
I then activated my dragon eyes skill. Slyvia jumped back in response.
"You're eyes there...."
When I activated my dragon eyes skills during the day they looked normal but at night my eyes would change to a bright yellow. I knew to show a human this, they would react this way, scared, frightened. People hated those that were different from them.
Slyvia stepped closer towards me.
"There beautiful Ray, they suit you well."
She then began to walk off towards the exit of the roof, just as she opened the door she said one last word.
"You're not a monster Ray."
Humans are difficult to understand. When I thought I was starting to understand them there have been cases where they have not met my expectations. Gary had saved me when I was younger, Monk had seen me as family and Slyvia wasn't frightened of me.
As I let my thoughts run through my mind, I heard the door open again. I turned around expecting to see Slyvia come back for some reason.
Instead, a tall silver-haired man I had never seen before was standing there walking towards me.
"You are Ray correct, I'm here to teach you a lesson."
