Chapter 19

Chapter 19

"So any of you want to vicinity a wager on who's going to win?" Kyle used to be protecting a piece of paper with a listing of names and a tray of cash striking around his neck.

"How should you even ask us, we're buddies with each of them, roommates even, I would hate for them to locate out we had been having a bet on them."

Dan positioned down a Ten Sepy word in Kyles tray.

"Ten on Gary to win easy."

"Dan!" Slyvia shouted.

"Five for Monk from me, I constantly decide on the underdog," Martha said.

"I can't agree with you two, right Ian," Slyvia said.

Ian couldn't seem to be Slyva in the eye and began fiddling with his hands.

"Don't tell me?."

"The large man already betted on Gary to win," Kyle said.

Kyle then went off shouting to the crowd informing absolutely everyone that the betting was now closed and the battle would begin any 2d now.

"Well, at least I understand you did not guess whatever Ray, however I do have to ask do you assume Monk has a chance?" Sylvia requested with a involved appear on her face.

"Oh, so you also assume Garys going to win."

Slyvia did not reply however the seem to be on her face said everything.

"Monk has put in more effort into our distinctive training than any of us. He outperforms us in almost each thing of our training. Although Gary is naturally knowledgeable and should beat almost everyone, I would say Monk is the worst type of opponent for him now."

Dan who was listening in on us had his phrases to say.

"Well I fought Gary and misplaced in underneath a minute, I clearly do not suppose Monk stands a chance."

Everyone's attention now went to the two people standing internal the square. Kyle was once being a type of ref for the two of them.

The two had their weapons geared up in hand facing off to every other. Kyle stood in the middle with his hand in the air.

"3..2...1...Fight."

Kyle's hand went down to signal the begin of the fight, he quickly went again into the crowd. Monk commenced as the aggressor putting Gary as soon as possible. The crowd was once impressed Monk was once moving and attacking from all distinct angles. Left, right, below above. The extraordinary element was once how rapidly he would pass from one stance to the next.

It used to be brilliant as Monk was using his small physique body to his advantage. People in the crowd had been taken aback at would they had been seeing however what was once as equally superb was once Gary, who was once managing to block almost each and every single one of the attacks.

"Phew, Monk had me concerned there for a second," Dan said.

Monk was once relentless with his attacks but he used to be soon jogging out of stamina and energy unable to keep up the pace. Gary noticed this and used the possibility to strike back.

When Gary went to strike returned at Monk, Monk appeared to swap gear with his footwork. His toes have been now almost transferring similar to Sir K on the knight test exam. Gary used to be discovering it challenging to keep song of Monks movements. Every time Gary would strike had been Monk was, he would have moved earlier than his weapon reached his target.

"Go Monk! Don't supply up!" Martha shouted.

The battle persevered to go again and forth between the two of them for a precise ten minutes.

"It appears like this in shape should go on for a while," Slyvia said.

"No it will give up soon, our techniques are used for an assassination. Our total goal is to defeat our opponents quickly. Monk knew this, that's why he's been making an attempt so challenging this whole time. The 2d it went over the ten-minute mark Monk misplaced this battle, unless..."

Although I said this to the group, there used to be nevertheless a chance for Monk to win the fight. The reality used to be that Gary had been underestimating his opponent this whole fight. Gary hadn't been the usage of his full electricity this entire fight. He had been taking part in along with Monk making him go previous the ten-minute mark.

Monk was once now visibly sweating buckets of sweat, whereas Gary barely had any on him.

"Ready to supply up?" Gary said.

Monk didn't say some thing and tried to control his breathing. Gary had gotten frustrated at this point and finally used a full-strength attack against Monk. Monk lifted his blade to block the attack. The attack was once so powerful from Gary that the wooden sword had snapped into pieces.

"It's over,"

Just then, Monk grabbed one of the broken components of the wooden sword and held it in his hand like a dagger. He moved the dagger with full strength aiming right for Gary's neck.

The wooden splinter had made the weapon sharp. It used to be no longer the blunt piece of timber that we used for training but a real weapon now. When the wooden dagger was simply about to attain the Garys neck. A hand got here out and Grabbed the blade stopping it inches away from Gary's neck.

It was my hand.

I don't recognize when it happened, I was once watching at the sidelines like everyone else. I knew the battle was entering its final moments, so I decided to set off my dragon eyes skills.

I could see Monks electricity flow, after the ten-minute mark his power was getting smaller and smaller however when the sword broke and every person thinking it used to be over, his strength appeared to double in measurement as he used to be aiming to take hold of the portions of the damaged sword. A last-ditch effort to win the match.

That's when my body started to go on its own. Suddenly I used to be immediately with the aid of Monk's and Gary's side, I reached out my hand and grabbed the timber like dagger, inches away from Gary's neck.

All three of us had been frozen in area for a moment, the crowd used to be silent. Just seconds ago they have been cheering with excitement.

Monk eliminated his grip from the weapon and commenced to bow down in front of me and Gary.

"I'm so sorry, I don't recognize what came over me."

What Monk didn't be aware of was once I was thinking the specific same thing. I was originally going to let something occurred in this combat happen. It would have been a lesson for them both in the future.

Monk rapidly then used his capabilities to leave the field silently going via the crowd of people. Gary simply stood there in silence, attempting to know what simply happened.

The crowd of people commenced to speak amongst themselves.

"So who gained the fight?"

"I'm not sure, that red hared kid got here in when Gary used to be about to win."

"What are you on about? Monk was going to win."

The crowd then started out to argue over who had won the fight. Some believed that Gary had won, whilst others supported Monk. In the end though, the anger and hatred in the crowd started to steer towards one person. The character who had stopped the fight.

"Why did that red-haired have to get involved?"

"Perhaps he did not prefer to lose all his money?"

Kyle seeing that the crowd used to be starting to get riled up toward the match, stepped into the centre of the field.

"Hey guys, sorry to say but due to the involvement of a 0.33 birthday celebration member, the in shape has been voided from legit rankings. So don't worry you will all get your cash back."

I don't understand if Kyle used to be doing this on purpose or not. But his phrases simply made the humans steer their anger greater closer to me. It regarded like he used to be simply out there to shop himself.

As I used to be standing in the field, a bottle came toward me from the crowd. I moved my head barely backwards fending off the bottle. Once the first individual threw an item at me, the relaxation started out to join in throwing all varieties of distinct objects.

It was once impossible to avoid all the objects. So rather I virtually simply let the objects hit me as I walked away from the coaching field. Walking out from the crowd of people, I made be aware of each and every single character who threw some thing at me. As I would format my revenge on each single one of them.

****

Slyvia was standing at the sidelines of the area observing the fight simply as carefully as all of us else. When she saw Monk grab the damaged pieces of the wooden sword, she knew Gary was in trouble. Just as she was once about to shout out the phrases stop. Ray had already seemed in the front of them stopping Monk's weapon with his bare hands.

Slyvia used to be in disbelief at the sight. She ought to have sworn that Ray was just through her aspect a 2nd ago. And before she ought to even react with words, Ray had already moved and stopped the weapon.

"Did you see when Ray acquired over there?" Slyvia asked.

"No, I used to be too centered on Monk and Gary, he have to have been proper next to them the entire time," Dan said.

A lot of the college students notion the equal as Dan, in reality that Ray had been moving closer to them whilst anybody was too focused on the fight, geared up to quit the fight at any moment. It used to be difficult to consider that each person would have been capable to cross that speedy from the sidelines.

Slyvia may want to see that the crowd was beginning to turn on Ray due to his intervention. They virtually had no longer understood that Monk's last strike was once deadly and Gary wouldn't have averted it in time. There were solely a few human beings that had been observing the fight that understood what had happened.

Slyvia went and grabbed Kyle by using the arm seeing matters had been starting to get out of control.

"Kyle you have to do some thing earlier than there is a riot. This is your fault in the first region if you hadn't turned this suit into a stupid betting war."

"I know, I'll go out there and provide an explanation for everything."

Kyle at this second thinking the crowd at any second we're going to turn their interest closer to him.

"Hey, guys, sorry to say but due to the involvement of a third birthday party member the healthy has been voided from reputable rankings. So do not worry you will all get your cash back."

With the crowd's anger now focusing on Ray, Kyle quickly went back to cover in the crowd.

Then out of nowhere, an object was thrown towards Ray. A few seconds later it appeared like anyone used to be chucking objects at Ray. Slyvia, Ian, Dan, and Martha we're doing the first-rate to try to calm down the crowd of human beings but no one used to be listening. They then began to block some of the objects hitting Ray getting hurt themselves in the process.

When Slyvia grew to become to seem at Ray to see if he was ok she ought to see a seem on his face that apprehensive her. Rays eyes appeared to have a yellow glow to them, as he carried on taking walks away from the crowd.

Ray hadn't observed the involvement of his roommates, for he was once targeted on every character that had thrown some thing at him that day.

The state of affairs was now awkward at the Black squire coaching sessions. Kyle had been averting me ever due to the fact the whole situation, and Monk and Gary, they still hadn't stated a word to each different for the reason that that day.

What it did do for all of us though, used to be now they were a lot greater focused. There was no longer the pleasant chit chat between us all. No more talks after our distinct training sessions. We would turn up to Sir K lesson and then flip back to the dorm for the night.

Gary had saved his wide variety one ranking spot however now seeing the advantages of what the black knight training ought to do he began placing greater effort into the session. He even commenced to use the techniques in his ranking matches.

He also no longer played round with his opponents, now he would end most of them in the first few strikes.

I had also learnt a lesson my self that day, it appeared like I was spending too a good deal time interacting with the human race, it had made my heart grow softer over these years making me lose focus of my unique goal. That day was once a friendly reminder of what humans have been like.

After our simple and distinct coaching sessions ended Wilfred Came to super the four of us interior the mansion.

"It's nice to see you all again, I'm afraid I do not have an awful lot time for chit chat today, as I'm right here on behalf of the grand elders. Kyle, Ray would you please follow me."

"Don't you want us as well?" Gary asked.

"I'm afraid this count solely issues them for now."

We accompanied Wilfred along to the centre of the academy had been he lead us to one of the pinnacle rooms of the tower. The room was once adorned with artwork and monuments of the dragon knights, in the centre of the room used to be a large single meeting table. At the give up of the table standing were the four master knights. Delbert, Bernardo, Sir K and Miss Rose who was head of the inexperienced knights.

"Please take a seat you two." Wilfred Gestured us toward the seats at the table.

I sat down with Kyle while we waited patiently to be instructed further. A few moments had surpassed and the door we had entered from opened again. Three students had been coming into the room, one of them was Ian, the other two were additionally boys who appeared to have been equal twins. There was no longer a single element to tell them apart from each other.

When searching round the room it was challenging to now not note that there was once one factor we all had in common, and that used to be our purple hair. The 5 of us had been gathered in the room for a precise motive and we all knew it.

Wilfred went to the head of the table, he had a serious look on his face. Which often meant it used to be an necessary matter.

"I may not bore you with the small small print and cut to the chase, the five of you have been delivered here due to a prophecy that used to be informed fifteen years ago. The prophecy instructed via the divine being referred to that our land would be saved through a infant with crimson hair."

The different four began to appear at each different in shock, I already had little information about this from long ago however I was once amazed that they determined to inform us about this.

I determined to omit the rely and no longer let it subject me too lots due to the fact I really believed that they had made a mistake, for my hair was once firstly returned and even now there have been still strands of black hair

Wilfred continued, "So in the search for the boy in the prophecy, we sent knights to roam the lands, they came across ten children, all who have been the equal age."

Ten children? To my knowledge there were solely 5 which include me, even at the table, we sat at they had been solely 5 of us there.

"I see the confusion on your faces, you five do not wield any magical abilities, whereas the other 5 do. As you are stationed at Avrion academy, they are stationed at Roland academy."

"So one of us if going to retailer the world," Kyle said excitedly.

I could experience that Delbert's response and Rose's response changed upon listening to Kyle stated this. Almost as of they we're angry. It seemed like Wilfred was once hiding something from us, perhaps now not telling us the complete prophecy.

Behind Wilfred, a magical illusion started out to portray the five dragon knights.

"This is why I have referred to as you here today, we wish to recreate the legacy of our founders, simply as the dragon knights of the previous had saved us from the shadow plague, now this assignment will fall to you."

Kyle used to be now stood out of his seat, unable to incorporate his excitement.

"You mean.."

"That is correct you five will be the new dragon knights of Avrion academy, but this means you will want to put in the extra effort. On pinnacle of your primary and different training, you will now acquire more training as the dragon knights."

Everyone was edited at the news they heard, after all, it was a superb honour for the knights. I used to be also happy to play alongside for now as hopefully, it would additionally provide me extra statistics on the dragon knights abilities.

Wilfred defined to all and sundry the place and when we would meet for coaching but as we're all leaving the room Wilfred known as out to me and instructed me to wait in the room.

As Wilfred entered the room he said

"Ray there may be any individual here to see you."

Behind Wilfred was a girl who I known well, she nonetheless seemed as holy as ever. The first man or woman who had held me in their arms. It was my mother.

My mother had tears jogging down her face but I could experience that these were now not tears of joy.

"What's wrong I said."

As she slowly lifted her head she managed to mumble a few words out to me.

"It's your father."

As my mother stood there struggling to preserve returned her tears, Wilfred had left the room faster than a bullet out of a barrel. I sat my mom down in a seat subsequent to her, holding her hand trying to calm her down.

My mother used to be in no way like this usually, she used to be a strong girl who did everything with the aid of herself, she was once by no means the type to get bullied by means of others and usually caught up for herself.

After the tears finally stopped running down her face I managed to ask her.

"So what befell to dad, what's wrong?"

"Your father he is gone."

"What do you imply gone, is he... dead?"

I predicted this result to happen. When the shadow plague infected someone, at most they wouldn't make it past a year, it was a miracle that he stayed alive for this long.

My other shook her head.

"Your father has been taken, he used to be taken by the shadow plaque." Tears began to roll down her face again.

I was started up at what I heard. The shadow plague solely took humans if it used to be worth their effort. When a man or woman is contaminated by using the shadow plague one of two matters manifest to them. The first component is the host goes mad and dies inside the year.

The 2d component is extra instant, the shadow plague will attempt to host themselves inside the body, similar to the drop undergo king that I noticed a few years ago. Although this used to be a uncommon occurrence, it had a low risk of success so they would typically solely do this if the host physique used to be strong.

But my father's physique hadn't been takin over instantly, so we all had assumed it would by no means happen.

My mother continued

"Your father has been hostilities it inside his body the entire time, then one day he managed to take manage for a small moment. He informed me to tell the village to evacuate, that he could no longer battle in opposition to it. I helped the village evacuate however decided to continue to be by way of your fathers' side."

"Are you hurt?" I stated panicking searching over her physique to see if there have been any visible wounds.

"No, I tried my first-class to come up with something to help him, however when he grew to become I realised there was nothing I should do besides hurting him. HE instructed me.... he instructed me... to kill him, that it would be for the best... however I simply couldn't Ray, how ought to I kill your father."

My mom started out to damage down in tiers again. Looking at her face I was once angry. I was once indignant at the shadow plague for taking my father, I used to be indignant at the humans for doing nothing about it however worst of all I was irritated at my self.

Angry at myself due to the fact for the final fifteen years I had made close to no progress figuring out how to unlock my abilities. I had idea my father would be fine and one day when I had regained my dragon competencies I could use them to heal him, and now my coronary heart feels as if it has been torn in two, for my mother has had to endure all the burden.

The two of us talked for a whilst earlier than she left. I requested her what she would do now. She said that she was once going to work at the adventure in a guild helping the people out. happily away from the frontlines.

But simply before my mom left Avrion Academy she surpassed me a note. She said the notice was from my father and he wrote it before he used to be contaminated through the shadow plaque. He originally wanted to provide it to me once I had handed the entrance exam for Avrion academy, with the complete scenario occurring at the time my mother had definitely forgotten about it till now.

I went to my room to study the contents of the letter.

"Dear Ray,

I knew you were talented and constantly may want to do it, after all, you have mine and your mother's genes interior you. Although you regarded to combat a lot when you were younger I knew you have been extraordinary from the second I and your mother laid our eyes on you. After you got here lower back from the woodland carrying Gary on your lower back I went into the forest and saw the intermediate beast had been slain. For something motives it seems you are hiding your actual abilities however this is my message to you Ray, Don't ever let every person bully you, not for your unique purple hair or your interest or anything. I know you can emerge as the wide variety one knight of Avrion academy and I appear forward to being there the graduate as variety one."

I threw the letter into the bin and concept to myself.

"That dull father of mine, how is he meant to see me come to be the first-rate of Avrion academy now."

I went up to the roof of the building, it was the satisfactory location for me to acquire my thoughts. It was a full moon tonight and the sound of the magical beast in the distance should be heard. The view appeared to calm my thought down. It seemed like the world used to be adding to my listing of enemies.
