Beast Evolution

Ray was surprised at her actions and he was wondering where he went wrong, he had never been in a relationship before, and he wasn't even sure if he and Lily were in a relationship.

"She wants me to close the door," Crystal said and wanted to close the door when Ray held the door.

Crystal tried to close the door but Ray didn't bulge, he held the door like his life depended on it. Crystal turned it into a challenge to test her strength, she and Ray kept dragging the door back and forth.

"What are you guys doing?" Lily shouted but none of them listened to her.

Ray thought of a nice idea then he quickly removed his hands from the door, Crystal slammed the door shut and they heard a cry from outside.

"Ouch..." Ray shouted loud enough for the girls to hear and then he fell to his knees.

Lily opened the door and rushed towards Ray immediately, she quickly apologized on behalf of Crystal.

"Are you okay, I'm very sorry" Lily said but then Ray Ray stood up.

Ray held Lily's face and invaded her mouth with his tongue, Lily was shocked by the sudden kiss from Ray, she held Ray's shoulder and shoved his away.

'This was supposed to play out differently, all those romantic movies are lies' Ray cursed inwardly as he stare at Lily.

"You can't kiss me here, we are in the hallway, what if a knight cones in" Lily sneered.

'Huh...wait, she isn't angry that I kissed her, she's angry because I kissed her in the hallway'

"So should we go in?" Ray asked.

Lily faced down and answered shyly, "Yes"

"You guys should go kiss somewhere else" Crystal shouted and slammed the door.

Lily and Ray didn't realize that they were watching them all this while, Lily stepped backward and rested on the wall. She didn't say a word Instead she was just staring at Ray.

"I'm sorry I made you angry," Ray said.

"Why did you run off, since when you came back from the capital, you seem different, did I do something wrong, why are you avoiding me?" Lily asked.

"No... I'm not avoiding you and you didn't do anything wrong, I had an important thing to do that's why I left earlier," Ray explained.

"What important thing, but before you left you were talking to Leia and Gabriel, as soon as I came close you ran away...why" Lily shouted this time.

"We were talking about something, and again I'm not avoiding you" Ray spoke.

"You look really cool today, I'm sorry I missed the final moment," Ray said.

"Ohh... I've just been training hard" Lily blushed a little as she spoke.

"...If you have time, can talk in the evening?" Ray asked.

"I'm not sure...but the day after tomorrow" Lily's face lit up as she spoke.

"What's the day after tomorrow?" Ray asked.

"We don't have training, and we're free to leave the school ground, we should go out on that day" Lily suggested.

"Okay," Ray said.

"Bye..." Lily said and knocked on her door.

"Bye" Ray replied and walked towards his room.

Ray opened the door and walked in with a huge smile on his face, he just kissed Lily, and even though it was for a short while he was still happy.

As Ray walked in only Leia and Ivan were inside, Sofia was part of the Archery class and they were still in training.

"What's with the smile, did something happen?" Ivan asked.

"Ohh... I'm just happy that's all" Ray replied.

"So Ray what did you find out," Leia asked him.

"Wait before you ask him anything, Ray what happened to you" Ivan questioned him.

"I don't understand..."

"Why did you surrender to Jack, I know you, and I know you did it for a reason why..."

"What are you saying, didn't you watch the fight, Jack was clearly stronger than me, and I didn't have my sword what can I possibly do," Ray said with laughter in his voice.

"You can fight without a sword, I clearly remember when you fought that guy from the martial arts class and both of you ended up in the medical center, you were stronger than him," Ivan said.

"Did something happen in the capital, Jack and Lily defeated both of you, I think something is wrong what is it?" Ivan said.

'Ivan has gotten really sharp these days, but still I can't tell him what happened at the capital, but I can tell him something else'

"I was injured in the capital..." Ray said in a low voice trying his best to sound sincere.

"You were injured, how?"

"When the capital was attacked, the knights told us to stay put, but I'm sure you know how I behave..." Ray said, Leia was surprised at what Ray was saying.

The knights told them to keep this to themselves and not tell any of the students, but Ray was exposing it to Ivan.

"I ran in danger trying to defend the capital then I broke my arm, but it's just a minor case, I can use them well I just need time to heal completely" Ray smiled.

"Ohh, so that's why you couldn't battle properly, you should have told Sir Jake, he would understand," Ivan said.

"Don't tell him or anyone, the knights told us to keep it a secret" Ray quickly said.

Leia looked at Ray and was surprised, Ray was a true liar, he twisted the story in a way that was partly true so Ivan would understand.

"I'm so full of energy, maybe I should train a little before resting," Ray said.

"How are you going to train in this tiny room?" Ivan asked.

"I'm just going to do some light training, like push up and squats"

Leia couldn't ask Ray what she wanted, she lay on her bed as Ray and Ivan did strength training.

'I wonder what dad is doing right now, it's been too long' Leia smiled as she stare at the second bunk bed which belonged to Sofia.

After a while Ray and Ivan were both exhausted, they had been training and soon it turned into a competition, who could do more push up and squats.

The door opened and Sofia walked in with her bow on her back, this was the bow she bought on their way to the survival training so it was her personal bow.

"Hi guys" she greeted them as she walked in.

"Hello Sofia"

"Hieeee," Ivan said jokingly making Sofia smile.

Sofia turn around to lock the door but someone stopped her, she opened the door to see who it was and she saw a knight.

"I'm sorry" she quickly said.

"Don't worry...who among you is Ray?"

"I am" Ray raised his hands.

"Follow me" the knight said and walked away.

Ray quickly wore his shirt despite the sweat on his body, he was planning to take his bath if he was done but he had no choice but to follow the knight.

'All the knights here behave the same, and they all have the same hoarse voice, follow me' Ray repeat the word in his head.

Ray followed the knight and they walked toward where the senior knights were staying, he knew that Arthur was the one looking for him.

"Sir," the knight said to Arthur and left.

"Good evening Sir," Ray said as he looked around.

James was lying down on a bed not minding if Ray was in the room, Arthur was sitting on a chair taking small sips from a cup while Alfred was staring at him.

"When did we tell you to see us?" Alfred said.

"I'm sorry sir, I woke up late and I had to go for training, then after training, I forgot and went for my swords training, I wanted to visit you after training but I didn't know if you would be around" Ray bow his head.

"Your magic teacher is here, and you would take classes with her in the evenings, that's what we want to tell you," Arthur said.

"Okay Sir, Sir did you say her?" Ray asked.

"Yes, Selena sent a female, is that a problem," Authur asked.

"No Sir" Ray said, Selena told him she would come by herself but he was relieved to hear that it was someone else.

He didn't know how he would feel given she already know that he was a beast.

"Are you the one" a voice spoke and Ray turned around, it was a female but he couldn't see her face clearly.

"Yes ma'am" Ray quickly answered.
