Beast Evolution

Chapter 178 178 An Accident

"Where is she going?" Ray asked.

"The second year and third year are on the other side of the knight academy, over there" Leia pointed to the far end after the large empty training ground.

"I've always thought that place was empty, so it belonged to the upperclassmen, we are finally going to meet our direct seniors, I wish we could challenge them..." Ray said.

"Challenge them, of course we can, the tournament is coming soon" Gabriel reminded him.

"Ohh...that's right the knight tournament, we would be able to...damn it" Ray shouted

Leia gave Ray a surprised look before asking, "What's wrong"

"I can't participate in the knight tournament because of my hands" Ray hissed in anger.

"Why don't you plead with the senior knights, they may allow it," Gabriel told him.

"You're right, tomorrow I'm going to plead with them" Ray clenched his fists.

"You are planning to plead with the senior knights and you are clenching your fists, are you going to beat them if they don't agree?" Leia asked chuckling.

"I'm just showing my determination, that's all" Ray flashed her a menacing smile.

They finally arrived at the dorm only to find them empty, they went to their separate rooms to rest because the other students were in training.

After settling down, Ray summoned Silver inside their room to feed him the meat he kept.

"So Ray are we going to stay here or we should...Woah" Leia flinched when she saw Silver.

"Don't worry it's Silver my pet" Ray told him.

"I haven't seen it up close before, it's really big..."

"I just want to feed him, It wouldn't take long" Ray opened his [Void] and brought out the meat he kept there.

The meat was still fresh as if the [Void] was an oven for preservation of food.

'Wow...how can someone be gifted with magic like this and not attend the mage academy, if he attended the mage academy he would be respected even if he's a first-year students'

'And he doesn't talk about his parents at all, I should ask him'

"Ray what about your parents?" Leia asked.

Immediately she asked his face became pale, he inhaled sharply and sighed before answering her.

"They are dead, they died in an accident..."

"I'm very sorry," Leia said immediately.

'I suspected that's the case, if his parents weren't dead he would have talked about them, with a magic ability like this Ray would be adopted by nobles if they find out that he's an orphan'

Leia watched as Ray lay on his bed and a second later, a white light enveloped Silver and he vanished.

"Quick question, where do you keep your pet, and do you have more pets?" Leia asked.

'How should I answer her, I don't know where the system keeps the pet, ohh...got it' Ray smiled and faced Leia.

"I only have one pet, and he's in a spatial space separate from this one"

"So he's in another world wow ... Isn't your pet going to get lonely, you know wolves stay in packs," Leia told him.

"Don't worry about him...we should join the others in training" Ray suggested.

"Right now...we are supposed to rest, you are supposed to rest, and you told me your hand was dislocated, I don't think it's a good idea to use a sword in your state" Leia reprimanded him immediately.

"I shouldn't have told you that..." Ray scoffed.

"It's for your own good, what if you continue training and something happens again, do you think the senior knights would allow you to participate in the tournament," Leia said with a smirk on her face.

She knows if she mentions the tournament he's going to obey without a thought and it worked.

"Then if we're not going to train, what are we going to do?"

"We should rest..."

"I'm bored, at least let's play a game" Ray suggested and Leia's face lit up immediately.

"A game, what kind of game?"

"A game like truth and dare," Ray said and his eyes widen immediately.

'Shit I got excited and said that I should just laugh it off as nothing'

"What's t-truth and dare, is that a game, how do you play it?" Leia asked.

"It's not a game...we should think of another game" Ray laughed weirdly.

"If you don't tell me about the truth and dare, I'm not going to play any games with you," Leia said and faced away.

"I'm not sure you are going to enjoy playing the game, that's why..."

"Why won't I, as long as it's a game, tell me the rules"

'Well I also haven't played truth and dare before, I never had any friends so this is my first time'

"The rules are simple, each of us takes turns and chooses either truth or dare then the other asks a question or commands the person" Ray explained.

"I don't understand...so if I choose dare, you would command me to do something, what if I refuse..."

"Usually something is done if someone breaks the rules but I don't know..."

"Ray, have you played this game before?" Leia asked with her arms crossed, so was now sitting on her bed.

"No, but I've watched people play it all the time, we should put a punishment in place that would make it more interesting"

"What kind of punishment, like...slap yourself or slap each other"

"Let's just start, we'll decide later"

"Me, I'll start, I choose truth," she said with a smile and waited for Ray's question.

After thinking for some seconds he finally spoke, "What's your last name?"

"Ohh, I haven't told anyone before, my last name is woods, okay your turn," Leia said in excitement.

"So you're Leia woods"

"Yes, is something wrong with my name?"

"No, it's nice" Ray answered.

"I choose truth"

Leia smirked making Ray to wonder what she wanted to ask him.
