Beast Evolution

"Something to do...we are free today, no training nothing, what do you have to do that can't wait, you can take her out in the evening, you can stroll around the city and treat her to something delicious," Sofia said.

"I'm busy, like I said I have an important issue," Ray said.

"Okay...what important issue? You made her cry in front of everyone, how do you expect her to face them tomorrow" Ivan asked.

"I don't know, I'm tired so you guys should stop asking me questions, and I need to change my clothes" Ray replied flatly.

"Ray what is wrong with you, if you know you don't like Lily just tell her, you are making it hard for her" Sofia shouted.

"What is wrong with me, you think I don't like Lily, I like her and I'm angry at myself for making her cry, but what do you want me to do"

"I have to train and become stronger so I can stop that bastard, we are in the knight academy, we're going to have plenty of time to see each other, why can't she be understanding huh" Ray shouted without hiding his displeasure.

"You guys should leave me alone, I'm quite pissed now"

Ray faced his bed and took off his shirt and pants, his underwear was still there but Sofia and Leia quickly turn their faces away.

"I'm out" Ray spoke and left the room without making eye contact with any of them.

"What is wrong with Ray, and besides what training does he have today," Ivan asked.

"Maybe we should follow him" Sofia suggested.

"Training...what training is that" Leia whispered to herself.

"Aren't you coming, you are going to follow him and see what he's up to" Ivan spoke and opened the door, Ray had left the hallway so the three of them quickly followed him.

Ray left his room out of anger, he didn't know what time they were going to leave so he went straight to their training room and sat at the gate.

"What's wrong? you are here early" a voice spoke.

Ray raised his head and found a cute girl looking at him, he blinked his eyes and stood up to take a good look at her.

He knew the voice belongs to Selena but her appearance was different, she had long black hair that was tied in a ponytail.

She wore a long sleeve and a short skirt barely reaching her knee, Ray looked at her again and smiled.

"Why did you change your appearance, it's hard for me to think you are my teacher," Ray said with a hint of laughter.

"Really..." Selena smirked and punched Ray in his stomach.

The punch wasn't that strong but Ray stumbled backward because he wasn't expecting it, Selena walked towards him and he put his hands up admitting defeat.

"The weather is nice, you should leave now"

"But why did you change your appearance, you look like a high school girl," Ray said.

"High school girl... what's that? I just didn't want too many eyes to be on me" Selena said with a cute smile.

"If you didn't want many eyes to be on you, you should have changed into a grandma that way people would think I'm your grandson" Ray spoke and immediately moved away from Selena.

"A grandma..." Selena's face twitched from anger, she hated being called ma'am and now he was calling her a grandma she was beyond pissed.

"We are going to train and duel before the end of today, and you are going to regret calling me that" Selena spoke like a true villain.

"I'm ready to leave anytime you are," Ray spoke with confidence.

"Good, we are going now, first..." Selena stopped and looked around then she clicked her tongue.

"Is something wrong?" Ray asked immediately.

"No let's go," Selena said and led the way.

"So this is what Ray is up to, who is that girl? I've never seen her in the academy before and she punched him and he didn't react, something is going on" Ivan said.

"We should follow them and see where they are heading" Sofia whispered.

"I never thought Ray was the kind of person to do something like that, I'm quite disappointed in him" Leia whispered, her voice barely audible.

Ray and Selena walked out of the academy and his three roommates followed behind, the three of them could leave the academy because today was a free day for them.

"So today we're only going to focus on increasing my Mana pool right?" Ray asked.

"Yeah, then we're going to have a duel later on, where I'm going to beat the hell out of you," Selena said as they walked through the streets.

"I know you're joking but a duel would be nice, Draco is a mage as well as a swordsman, so it would be great if I know how to handle a mage"

"So all this training is for Draco? Don't you have another reason to get stronger?" Selena asked.

"To protect my friends as well as Avalon" Ray replied sharply.

They walked for a while and when they were also at the gate, Selena took a turn. Ray wanted to ask but he thought she had another reason so he didn't bother.

"We're being followed, I want you to sniff them out," Selena said as she slowed her pace.

"We're being followed? And you want me to sniff them out... I'm not a wolf you know"

"Yes but you're a beast, your nose must be good and besides you were supposed to spot them before me, I thought you would notice" Selena shook her head in disappointment.

"How long had they been following us?" Ray quickly asked.

"Since the academy, take a turn here I'm going to catch them," Selena said and both of them turned right.

"Where are they going, we've been on their tail since the academy, I'm kinda tired," Ivan said as he saw Ray and the girl make another turn.

"Maybe this is their stop, we should follow them," Sofia said and the three of them creep closer.

"Who are you people" a voice spoke behind them.

The three of them flinched and stumbled forward before turning around, they were surprised to see the girl they saw just now was now behind them.

"You are just students, did Alfred tell you kids to track us" Selena spoke in an irritated tone.

"Kids...track you...what are you doing with Ray," Sofia said not afraid of Selena.

​ "What are you guys doing" Ray spoke from behind them.

Ivan turn around quickly, "Ray what are you doing with her, is this the training you were talking about," Ivan asked.

"What do you think we were doing" Selena continued in an irritated tone.

Leia didn't know what to say, she just stood there looking at them and also watching Ray closer to see if he was truly cheating on Lily or not.

"Ray has a girlfriend, so you should stay away from him," Sofia said to Selena in a hoarse voice.

[Sleep]

Selena used the tip of her finger to touch Sofia's forehead and immediately she fell unconscious and slumped to the ground.

"A mage...what did you do to her" Ivan quickly raised Sofia from the ground.

"This is a misunderstanding..." Ray shouted.

'Wait...is this the magic teacher that was going to teach Ray, that would explain everything' Leia muttered to herself.

Leia moved close to Ray and whispered to him, "Is she the magic teacher that the head of the mage academy sent to you?"

"Yes," Ray whispered back.

Leia nodded in understanding, she was there when Selena came to meet Ray, when they left the academy, she didn't know that a teacher would still be sent to Ray.

"We should leave now, and can you wake her up" Ray pointed to Sofia that was napping happily on Ivan's hands.

[Dispel]

Selena whispered and touched Sofia's forehead, she turned around and walked straight to the capital gate and Ray quickly followed her.

Sofia stretched her hands and yawned weakly as she woke up, she was expecting to be on a bed but she was in Ivan's hands and both of them were on the ground.

"Why are we here?" Sofia asked with a puzzled face.

"Can you walk?"

"Yes, but I'm feeling very tired, wait...we were tracking Ray just now, did I pass out?" Sofia asked.

"We should head back," Leia said and Ivan carried Sofia on his back.

"What are you doing...keep me down," Sofia said with a cute smile, she was actually happy that Ivan was carrying her.

"Don't struggle you are tired, I'm going to carry you till we reach the academy" Ivan spoke.

Sofia smiled brightly before wrapping her hands around Ivan, "I don't have a choice then"

Ivan flinched slightly as Sofia held him, her breast was touching his back as she wrapped her hands around him.

Leia looked at both of them and sighed weakly, she walked in front of them and went back to the academy.
