"Hey Gabriel, how did it go, did you talk to her?" Ray asked.
"Yes I did, her name is Cynthia and I think she likes me," Gabriel said proudly.
Leia looked at Gabriel and burst into laughter, she laughed so hard that she sat on the ground.
"Why is she laughing?" Gabriel asked.
"We saw what you did, you messed that up pretty well, and the way you ran out, it was like you were being chased by a high level beast" Ray laughed as he told him.
"So you guys were watching!"
"Don't worry, you did well" Leia laughed.
"Leia stop laughing, I tried my best," Gabriel said.
"Sorry, I can't help it"
"Yeah, we know you did, now let's go to the training ground so you can forget about her" Ray said with laughter in his voice.
"So what am I going to do now, ohh...that boy said they were going to train, maybe I should go watch them," Cynthia said and removed her apron.
Well, there were not called apron, it was a white clothes that's worn when cooking along with a black cap.
...
"So how should we start?" Gabriel asked.
The three of them had arrived at the training ground, it was very different from the one at the main knight academy, the training ground here wasn't outside, instead it was inside a building.
The building was spacious and the ground was filled with sand, the wall was made of steel and different weapons were arranged at the side of the building, both real weapons, and wooden weapons.
"I don't know, but we should get some weapons first"
The two of them walked over and took two swords, Ray didn't need a weapon as he was going to use magic.
"Ray should we use real swords or training swords?" Gabriel asked him.
"Why are you asking me, use any of them," Ray said.
"We are asking because you are the one we would be attacking, so anything you want"
"You won't even get close to me, so use anything you want" Ray smiled.
"Okay, you would regret this" Leia said.
The both of them held their swords and stood in front of Ray, Ray shook his body a little before taking a fighting stance.
'What should I use against them, I can't use my fireball spell anymore but they don't know that, and they know about my dark Binds, so how would I play this' Ray said inwardly.
'We know you have fireball, shadow trap, and ice dome, that's all, if we play this right we would win' Leia thought.
"Okay, we are starting now," Gabriel said loudly.
'First I'm going to...'
The door to the training ground opened and Cynthia walked in, all three of them looked at her and she waved her hands.
"Please resume, I'm just here to watch, I don't have anything else to do"
"Okay, we are starting," Ray said this time.
'Yes, this is my chance, my chance to show her how strong I am, if she likes the way I fight she would congratulate me and I would use the opportunity to talk to her' Gabriel smiled widely.
'What are they doing, two of them against that boy, and he's not holding a weapon, does he have a plan or maybe it's a special training' Cynthia thought.
Leia and Gabriel rushed toward Ray, Ray also rushed toward them without a hint of fear, he knew he was stronger and faster than them so he had an amazing plan.
"You are underestimating me" Leia shouted as she closed the distance between them.
*Slash*
Leia and Gabriel swung their swords toward Ray from both sides, Ray already knew that was going to be their first move and he moved accordingly.
Before the blades could reach him he stopped and jumped backward and shot [Ice spear] from both of his hands simultaneously, but instead of shooting the spear towards them, he shot it so it would be easier for them to dodge.
Both of them saw the spear coming and quickly jumped sideways, for Leia the spear was shot toward her left side, and for Gabriel, it was shot toward his right side.
The best decision for both of them was to move sideways and as they did, they crashed into each other making it easier for Ray to capture both of them.
[Dark Binds]
Ray placed both of his hands together and Immediately dark roots sprouted from the ground and captured both of them making it impossible for them to move.
The both of them struggled to break through the binds but it proved too strong for them, and besides Ray was still infusing Mana to make sure they couldn't break through.
"Okay, you win," Gabriel said.
"Really, I thought I would regret it, should I release you guys now, that didn't even take a minute" Ray smirked.
"Yes, we get it you won, you caught us by surprise that's all," Leia said.
Ray separated his hands and the Binds returned back to the ground and the two of them were freed.
'Wow, so that boy is a mage, that's why he didn't use a weapon, and he has a dual affinity to both darkness and ice, that's pretty rare, but why isn't he in the mage academy' Cynthia wondered.
"Let's go again," Gabriel said to Ray.
"Sure, as many times as you guys want"
"Okay, we'll keep training till we run out of steam, that's the only way to get stronger," Leia said.
"Okay, we are going again, try not to get caught this time"
Ray looked at both of them and smiled, they seem really determined to win this time and they created space between themselves to avoid what happened last time.
*Boom*
Ray was startled as Leia rushed towards him, he didn't even have the time to react properly but she ran past him and fell to the ground.
"Huh!" Ray turned around.
Gabriel looked at Leia and burst into laughter, what happened was so funny that Gabriel dropped his sword and laughed till he faced sideways and saw Cynthia.
She was trying hard not to laugh but she was smiling brightly.
"Wow" Gabriel was awed.
