Chapter 138 138 Ray's Request



"What's she thinking?" Ray whispered.

Gabriel waved his hands in front of Leia's face but she didn't respond, "I don't know"

"Leia are you okay?" Ray asked.

"Huh! ohh I'm fine, I was just thinking about the knight academy and all our friends" Leia lied.

"When are we leaving?"

"When you recover, but I'm not sure you are going with us," Gabriel told him.

"You are not sure, what does that mean"

"We don't know yet, we should wait for the senior knights first," Leia said.

"Are they around?"

"No they went out, Avalon has become busier after the recent attack, and they are planning to put the tournament on hold"

"On hold...so no tournament then..."

"No, they are planning, it has not been finalized, the senior knights are keeping us updated for some reason," Leia told Ray.

"Hmm, I wanted to ask...what happened after I fell unconscious?"

"We were also unconscious, but we were told that the moment you passed out, the mages and knights rushed through the door"

"They all attacked Draco before he could kill you, luckily you survived because you were in the mage academy, and a powerful healer was around" Leia added.

"The..."

Before Leia could speak the door opened and the senior knights entered the room, Gabriel and Leia quickly stood up, Ray wanted to stand but he was stopped by James.

"I'm very sorry Ray," Authur said.

"Huh! sorry why..."

"For not protecting you, I'm very sorry" Authur apologized.

"Sir it's not your fault, I went on my own, I should be the one apologizing and thanking you, at least I survived"

"Yes, you are alive, and thank you for saving Luna," Authur said.

"Luna...who is Luna?" Ray looked at his friends and they both shook their heads.

"She's the tamer, if you didn't fight and you ran away, she would have been dead, and for that you have my respect"

Leia and Gabriel were surprised, Luna must mean a lot to Authur, Ray is like a hero.

"Thank you Sir, but you own me 1 now," Ray said.

"Yes, sure so you need anything," Authur asked.

"Yes, I have a request"

"Sure, what do you need"

" I want to continue training in the knight academy as a knight" Ray said.

"Ray...you can't..."

"I can" Ray cut Alfred before he could finish his sentence.

"Ray I know you want to be a knight, but training with your hands is like pouring oil in a flame, it would only increase your injuries," James said.

"I would continue training, no matter what you say, I can continue training, and I would..."

"Okay," Authur spoke.

"Huh! Sir you said okay" Ray's eyes gleamed with happiness, and Gabriel and Leia were surprised.

"But there are some conditions," Authur said.

"I don't think it's a good idea," Alfred said.

"I also don't think it's a good idea, if he continues training it would cause more harm to his hands," James said.

"I would be careful," Ray quickly replied.

"One, when we return to the knight academy, you have one month to show me the fruit of your training" Authur stated.

"One month..."

"Yes, if I see no change within that one month you would be stopped from training"

"Two, if you manage to recover, you can't participate in the upcoming knight's tournament"

"Knight tournament...I thought it would be put on hold" Ray replied.

"The authority decided that the tournament would continue, there are two reasons why, first Avalon is the strongest of all Nations, if a single attack makes the tournament to be canceled, the other nations would think we have been weakened"

"Two the tournament would be used as bait, just in case the attackers decide to return, they would be caught" Authur explained.

'Ohh, that's a great plan' Leia mumbled under her breath.

"I'm going to do my best," Ray shouted.

"Okay, now that we are all on the same page, why did you go after the attackers, and I need a good reason or else..." Authur stopped there and took a chair and sat down.

Alfred and James were already seated, while Leia and Gabriel were standing by the wall, they were all waiting for Ray.

Ray was confused, he didn't know what to say, even if he told them the truth would they believe him, he was going to say the truth.

"I only have one reason, I had a dream that the capital was attacked, so I went after the attackers to stop it" Ray closed his eyes as he spoke.

"I thought we discussed this last time you ran on your own during the survival training," Alfred said.

"I'm very sorry Sir, it won't repeat itself," Ray said with his eyes still closed.

"No it's going to happen again, and again," Authur said making Ray to open his eyes.

"Ray, I have a question to ask you, why did you want to stop the attackers?"

"Why do I want to stop them... because I don't want people to die," Ray said.

"You don't want people to die, what if you die in the process, and the people you save end up dying too," Authur asked.

Ray couldn't speak, he didn't know what to say, Authur was right, he wasn't strong enough and if it wasn't for the mages and knights he would have been dead and the tamer he wanted to save would also die.

"Let me give you an example," Authur said and Ray lifted his head.

"If I enter a dungeon and tell Alfred and James to keep watch, would they worry about me?"

"No Sir" Ray replied.

"Why?"

"Because you are strong and you can take care of yourself" Ray answered.

"That's right, but if you enter into a dungeon and tell Gabriel and Leia to keep watch, would they obey you or follow you into the dungeon?"

"They would follow me into the dungeon" Ray answered.

"Why"

"Because I'm not strong enough and they are worried about me"
