When the mages arrived after Ray fell unconscious, his blood spears was taken by the mages, Authur could recognize the spear but he didn't pay attention as Luna was on the ground.
So the mages kept both of Ray's blood spears in their storage room cause they found residue of magic so they wanted to examine the spear, Ray could have taken them but he didn't, he waited till now when they were leaving Avalon, and no one would suspect him.
The cold air felt nice, even though it wasn't snowing the wind was still chilly, the group followed James till they got to where Authur was.
Authur was talking with a woman so they stood a few feet away to give them some privacy, the woman looked familiar but Ray didn't think too much of it.
Authur and the woman walked towards the group and the woman exchange pleasantries with James before the three students greeted her.
"Hi" the lady smiled at Ray.
She must have heard about his heroic act, Ray had been acknowledged by mages in the academy, even though he didn't defeat Draco, he risked his life to save Luna so they praised his bravery.
"Hello ma'am" Ray replied.
The lady looked at Ray strangely like she knew him from somewhere, the rest of them were surprised as she looked up trying to remember where she saw Ray.
"Ah ha, you are the boy that summoned that wolf" the woman said.
'What!! h-how did she know me' Ray said inwardly, he was scared but he showed no weakness.
"I think you got the wrong person, I'm not a mage, I'm a knight" Ray said boldly.
Leia and Gabriel knew what the woman said was true but they looked at the woman strangely like she didn't know what she was talking about.
"He's one of the first year at the knight academy, he's not a mage" Authur said.
"He's a mage, and a tamer I saw him some months ago when I was on a mission, you summoned a black wolf" the woman said.
"I knew you were a knight, you may have forgotten but I asked the guards to search you when you returned back from your quest"
"Ohh, I remember now, you were standing by the wall staring at me, so that was the reason, I thought you liked me" Ray said.
"W-What, why would I like a boy, is something wrong with you" the woman shouted.
"Sorry for that, we should leave now, I'll see you around" Authur said.
"Have you seen her before?" Authur asked Ray.
"Yes some months ago when I came back from a quest, the guards were asking me strange question, so she was the one behind that"
"Maybe she mistook you for someone else she saw"
"Yes, I think so" Ray sighed and continued walking.
'When did she see me summoning Silver, I have to be more careful, I can't expose myself now that all eyes are on me'
Authur and James walked in front and led the group towards the carriage they would use, both of them knew that something was wrong.
They had also been seeing a black wolf recently, but it belonged to a beast and Ray was human so they couldn't jump to conclusions, maybe she mistook him for someone else.
"Hey Ray, how did..." before Gabriel could finish what he was saying, Leia jerked his arm so he would stop.
Even though the senior knights were in front they knew what was happening in the back.
"Why did you hit my arm, I wanted to tell Ray why he thought that lady liked him" Gabriel said.
"When I came back from a village after completing my task, she stood at the gate staring at me till I left, so I thought she had a thing for me" Ray laughed.
"She doesn't have a thing for you... maybe you are the one that have a thing for her" Gabriel smirked.
"hmm...Gabriel maybe you are right," Leia said looking at Ray's eyes.
"W-What, I can't believe you guys would think that," Ray sighed.
'i don't think there is anything strange, we suspected Ray when we came to the capital but after the attack he proved himself to be a knight of Avalon' Authur mumbled under his breath.
'Leia and Gabriel knows the senior knights are suspicious, at least I have good friends, they quickly covered for me' Ray said inwardly.
'What if the attack is just a faze, and Ray is working with the enemy, what if his broken hands is a trick, well that's why I planned ahead, he can't possibly use his hands after one month, so we'll see'
The group walked for a while before reaching the capital gates where they were allowed to pass because of Authur and James.
A carriage was already waiting for them outside and by the carriage Alfred was swinging his sword around.
"I've never seen the senior knights training" Ray said.
"Me neither, I would love to see Authur and Alfred spar, it would be awesome" Gabriel said.
"Maybe we should tell them, wouldn't that be fun"
"Tell them to spar, getting your hands broken wasn't enough, it seems you want your head to be broken" Gabriel said and Leia laughed.
"That's not funny, the senior knights can admonish our bravery and decide to spar" Ray said.
"Maybe you haven't noticed be sometime you are a little crazy" Gabriel said.
"Isn't this carriage a little different" Leia said to them.
"Huh...how is it different, we should..." Ray paused as they reached the front of the carriage.
From the back it was a normal carriage, but now that they were in front, it was very different, there were no door to the carriage, to put it plainly, the carriage was opened, the top and back were covered but that was all.
"Sir isn't it chilly?" Leia asked.
"We are hunting for something" Authur said.
