Beast Evolution

Chapter 41 41 Knight Academy



The helping hand quest was 5 bronze coins each, but the last one was 15 bronze coins, right now Ray had a total 25 bronze coins, he had spent some to eat at a shop.

Ray finally arrived at the merchant's house and went inside, Lily, Arya, and Jack were already back and where in the living room.

"Hey guys" Ray announced his return, "where were you?" Lily asked, "completing some quest, the last quest that I did was stressful, the merchant made me carry heavy boxes around the city" Ray shrugged as he replied.

"You are just lazy, nothing else," Jack said and looked at Ray waiting for a reply, "I'm not in the mood, I'm going to sleep," Ray said and turned back to leave.

"Hey look" Arya called Ray and showed him her adventurer ID, Ray looked closely and saw E Rank on her adventurer ID, "you completed all ten quests," Ray said.

"Yes, it was a breeze.."

"Your quests were easy," Jack said as he had only completed four, "yeah, why didn't you get the easy ones then" Arya retorted back.

"Lily is something wrong," Ray asked her because she hasn't spoken since, she seems to be thinking about something.

"I'm fine" she replied, "I'm going to bed" Ray left the group and went to their room, as soon as he lay down on the bed the door opened and Lily entered.

"Where is your pet?" Lily asked Ray, "he's not available"

'Not available, I knew something was fishy about him, I will watch him closely' Lily said inwardly and also went to sleep.

'I think something is bothering her, but I can't figure out what, she's been acting strange' Ray said inwardly and glanced in her direction.

....

Finally, the day was here, three days had passed in the blink of an eye, Ray woke up early but the remaining three were already up and had dressed and were ready to leave.

"Hey guys, why didn't you wake me" Ray shouted as he quickly stood up from the bed, "well... I wanted to but Jack said I shouldn't disturb you that you hate it" Arya replied in a meek voice.

Ray looked at Jack with anger "why, have we ever talked to the extent I told you I hated if someone woke me up".

"I just figured that you would be angry," Jack said without sparing him a glance, Ray wanted to punch him but he didn't have time for that.

Ray really wanted to go to the knight academy, he wanted to know what was done there, he wasn't going to stay in the forest and kill beast for the rest of his life till he was killed.

This life he had was like a second chance, he wanted to live it to the fullest unlike the last one he had, he had the power to live well this time.

He wasn't sure how the knight academy recruit students but he knew if he missed this chance he wasn't going to get another till next year.

He rushed everything including his bath, he put on his clothes and took his spear, he didn't eat as he wasn't even hungry.

Ray rushed through the street, the capital was busy as always, Ray quickly navigated his way and ran straight to the knight academy that they went to the other time.

"Hi" Ray greeted the knights at the gate, "hi, are you here for the registration", "yes" Ray quickly replied, "okay, go in" the knights pointed a direction to Ray.

"Look at him, he thinks this is a joke right," one of the knights at the gate said, "see his dressing, maybe he thinks the test would be easy", "I especially love this year's entrance test, I'm looking forward to it", "yea me too".

After walking for a while, Ray reached where he was going and joined the line, that was when he also noticed, that he was the only one dressed differently.

All the students that came there to register looked at Ray with contempt in their eyes, the students were all dressed in warrior clothes as if they were prepared for battle, he was the only one who dressed normally.

Well, it was not his fault, he ignored them and waited for his turn and wrote his name down on the piece of paper provided.

The registration was over and all the students gathered together and a small stage was in front of them, Ray stood behind and watched.

After a while a knight stepped up and cleared his throat, "you are all candidates of the knight academy, but not yet students of the knight academy, you are wondering what the test this time is, but this time we are doing something different".

"Something really different, tomorrow all candidates are to be present at the arena, and you all know I don't tolerate lateness," the young man said and stepped off the stage.

He seemed like an important figure as all the students eased their noise when he came, Ray saw no reason to mingle with anyone so he decided to leave.

Ray went straight to the Adventurer guild hall, he saw a familiar face there, "Henry long time" Ray greeted, "did you see the Knight academy, it's time for new students to enroll" Henry said.

"Yes, I also enrolled in the knight academy, and we were told to come to the arena tomorrow" Ray replied.

"Tomorrow, wait the knight academy announced that there is a match in the arena tomorrow" Henry told Ray, "so that means we are sparing against ourselves in front of the whole capital".
