Beast Evolution

Ray had seen his face and he was going to find out what was in the potion bottle.

'Should I tell the senior knights about this...' Ray wondered.

'If it turns out to be nothing what would I say, the system had never failed me, but still I would refrain till I find out more'

Ray walked back to the building where the sword class was training, on his way he found the knights l he saw joining the others at the training field.

Ray carefully studied all their faces as he wasn't sure if they were working together, the knights were 5 in number including the knight that joined them.

After looking at them for a while Ray went back to their training ground, as he walked in Leia and Lily were already done, two boys were currently dueling.

"Ray" Sir Jake called him as he stepped inside.

"I thought you went to see the senior knights, how come you are back?"

"I couldn't find them" Ray quickly lied.

"Okay..."

Ray returned to where he was sitting and Leia stood up from where she was and sat beside Ray.

"Ray, what happened, did you find out something?" Leia asked him.

"Yes, I'm going to tell you later, and who won?"

"Won what?" Leia asked.

"Between you and Lily..."

"Ohh, the duel...she won, but I was distracted because of you, I knew something happened as I looked at your worried face," Leia said and faced away.

"Lies...she defeated you fair and square, you just don't want to admit it," Ray said and Leia chuckled softly.

'As soon as training is over I'm going to follow that knight and find out what's in that bottle' Ray muttered under his breath.

"Look at them, I told you Ray likes her" Lily said angrily.

"You don't know that, maybe they are talking about something important" Arya assured Lily but she didn't agree.

"What is so important that she stood up and sat close to him, she could have waited till training was over..." Lily scoffed.

"I didn't think you were this jealous" Arya said mockingly.

"I'm not jealous, I'm just angry, Ray hasn't seen me in weeks and he didn't think of spending time with me"

"Maybe he's angry that you slapped him and accused him...or have you apologized"

"...W-Well I haven't apologized, but do you think he's angry with me, maybe that's why he's with her"

"I don't think Ray would do something like that just to get on your nerves, they are just talking like friends, nothing is going on"

"You girls are too loud" Jack whispered and they looked around, the students close to them were all listening to their conversation.

After more than half of the students were done, Sir Jake called quits and told them he had something to take care of, and the rest of them would continue tomorrow.

Gabriel walked towards Ray and Leia as they walked outside.

"Hey guys"

"Gabriel whatup"

"Whatup...why did you run out earlier, and Leia I don't remember the senior knights telling Ray that he's not going to participate in the tournament if he doesn't visit them"

"I discovered something" Ray whispered.

"Is it related to Draco?" Gabriel asked immediately.

"Yes... it's related to infected beasts" Ray said.

"What did you find out, are infected beasts here In the Academy or what?" Leia was surprised, she couldn't believe Ray found something about infected beast here in the bullmar academy.

"There are no beasts, just a suspicious knight" Ray answered her.

All the students made their way outside and Lily walked towards Ray.

"Hi," Lily said as she went close to him.

"Hey Lily, how are you, I didn't get to see you win," Ray said with a smile.

"Yes so did you..." Ray cut her off because she could finish her sentence.

"I'm going to see you later..." Ray said and quickly ran away.

He saw the knight and quickly followed the knight, he knew the building the other knights stay in but there were different rooms and he wanted to be sure of the room this particular knight was staying in.

Lily watched as Ray ran away from her, she couldn't believe that Ray would treat her like this, he couldn't even spare some of his time to speak with her.

Lily sniffed as she held back her tears, she was trying hard not to cry but she was heartbroken. Arya saw what happened and went to cheer Lily up.

Ray sneakily followed the knight without making a single noise, the knight entered their dorm which was meant for senior knights.

Ray couldn't follow the knight inside because they would recognize him and question him but he had another trick up his sleeves.

He haven't tried it before but he was sure he could do it, Ray looked around and made sure no one was looking at him then...

[Transformation]

Ray closed his eyes and imagined every detail and a white light enveloped him and when the light dispersed he had transformed.

There was no way for Ray to see if he looked like who he wanted to impersonate but there was no time, he quickly rushed towards the dorm of the senior knights and entered inside.

The building was much larger than theirs from the outside but still, the inside surprised Ray a bit. It wasn't like theirs which had a hallway with rooms on each side of the wall.

This dorm was built like a room for Royal knights, it had stairs that led up to more rooms, as Ray was looking around admiring the design he saw the knight he followed walking upstairs.

"Sir," a knight said to Ray and Ray shook his head.

'The transformation worked, so I now look like Sir Authur, now I can follow that knight without repercussions' Ray smiled at his intelligence but it all went down the drain as z knight walked up to him.

"Sir, I have a question," a knight asked him.

"Later..." Ray tried his best to sound like Sir Authur.

"Sir, I'm not sure this can wait, it's about..." before the knight could come close to Ray, he flashed the knight a scary look and the knight backed off.

"I'm very sorry Sir, I will tell you when you are not busy," the knight said and walked away.

Ray had seen all he wanted to see, the knight he followed entered the second room as he went upstairs, Ray turned around and walked outside the dorm building.

'Wow, that really worked in my favor, now I just have to find time to come back here when the knight is out, then I'm going to see what's in that bottle'

Ray looked around and set his eyes on Arthur, his heart almost jumped out of his chest but he was lucky Arthur was facing somewhere else.

He was disguised as Arthur and the real Arthur was just a few miles away, he quickly ran towards the other side even though he didn't know where it led to.

"Hmmm... strange, I saw someone that looks like you," Alfred said to Arthur.

"Really...I'm not sure there's someone that looks like me" Arthur said jokingly.

"Then who did I just see, maybe it's because we are far away" Alfred mumbled.

Ray found another path back to the dorm he was staying after he transformed back to himself, he went to Lily's room as soon as he entered the dorm.

*Knock*

"Who's there" Crystal shouted from inside.

"It's Ray"

The door opened slightly and Crystal stuck her head outside and looked at him without opening the door completely.

"Is Lily in?" Ray asked, wondering why she was staring at him.

"Yes, what is the matter?" Crystal asked in a cold tone.

"I want to see her," Ray said angrily, Crystal was getting on his nerve with her actions.

"She doesn't want to see you, bye"

"Who are you to decide for her, tell her I want to see her" Ray sneered.

"I don't want to see you," Lily said angrily.

"Huh! I'm sorry, are you angry"

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.
