Beast Evolution

"Outside the city...why?" Alfred said immediately.

"The training requires a forest, so we need to go outside, he would be under my protection so no harm would come to him"

"I can't allow that" Authur spoke with a stern voice.

"What!! I have the courtesy to ask for your permission and you are telling me off" Selena shouted.

"Who are you to speak to us in that manner" Alfred shouted.

"Authur!! tell him to pipe down before I run a hand through his skull" Selena shouted.

"Huh! wait...Selena!!"

As Authur mentioned her name the two other knights were shocked, Selena was the head of the Mage academy, they had seen her before and this wasn't what she looks like.

"Selena, what are you doing here?" Authur asked immediately.

"I'm training Ray, what do you think I'm doing, now that you know who I am I don't think I need your permission anymore" Selena sneered, she was obviously angry at Authur.

"Ray is a knight and he's with the knight academy, I don't think going outside is a good idea for the time being" Alfred spoke.

"Are you afraid he's going to get hurt?" Selena spoke with anger in her voice.

"It's okay you can go, but please protect him and don't let him do anything stupid because that's his fort"

Selena turned around and walked away, she raised her hand and gave Authur a thumbs-up before exiting the room.

"What is she doing here?" James asked immediately.

"I know she's not just here to train Ray...but we have just discovered another powerful addition, and she would be of big help," Authur said.

"We don't know when Draco is going to attack or if he's going to attack, but if he does what if he attacks on the day of the tournament?" Alfred asked.

"The All kingdom tournament is announced in all the kingdoms but the knight tournament being held is a secret that only the knights in bullmar academy are aware of... there's no way the enemy is aware"

'Finally...I should eat first before training so I would be in top condition'

The day had finally darkened and Ray was planning to train and sharpen his fighting skills, Sofia was the only person still awake in their room apart from Ray and she was in deep thought.

"I'm going out" Ray announced before leaving, he could see that she was stressed about something but he was also busy and she may not tell him the problem so he went out.

Some students were still walking around in the dorm but Ray didn't see any students of the sword class walking around, same as Leia and Ivan all the students of the sword class went to sleep immediately after training.

Ray walked through the hallway, people no longer pay attention to him only a few girls, and Ray wasn't interested in girls, in his past world he wasn't that handsome so he didn't have girls flocking around him.

When Lily confessed her feeling immediately Ray settled with her, she was beautiful, fierce, and caring, Ray was lucky someone like that was interested in him.

Ray finally reached the dining room, he looked around to see if Cynthia was still there but she was nowhere to be found, Ray sat down and ate dinner before venturing outside.

He went straight to the training ground where a dummy was, the dummy was surprisingly glued to the ground and the wood was sturdy.

Ray went towards the weapon rack where wooden weapons and steel weapons were kept, he looked around the field and a few people were training but none of them were close to him.

He chose this spot because it was far from where others were training, Ray opened his [Void] near the weapon rack and brought out both his blood spears.

To anyone around it looked like Ray took the weapon from the rack but he brought them out from his spatial space.

Ray walked towards the dummy and kept one of the spears at the feet of the dummy, he wanted to start with one then he would move to both of them.

Ray walked backward and when he was far away he threw the spear with all his strength, the spear hit the target and Ray smiled.

His timing and precision were top notch, he wanted to bring his blood spear back but then he remembered he was in a training ground with people around so he walked towards the dummy and took his spear back.

"Haaa..." Ray landed hit after hit on the dummy till he was breathing heavily.

He didn't have a method of training, he was just trying to get better at using his spear, which was by far his strongest asset.

Powerful weapons were created using beast crystals, normally a weapon can be created without beast crystals but it would be a normal sword or spear, and when faced with a beast of high level the weapon would break.

But if a weapon is created using beast crystals, the durability and power of the weapons are increased incredibly making it effective when fighting beasts.

Ray currently had possession of a high-level crystal that he got from the Minotaur, but he couldn't use it to create a weapon because he already has a weapon, so he was going to find another use for it.

After resting for a while Ray took his second spear and continued training, he aimed the dummy at different spots and tried to hit those spots.

He trained till his hands became so weak that he couldn't lift them up, Ray slumped to the ground as his chest heaved up and down.

He looked around the training ground and was a little surprised, he was so focused on his training that he lost track of time, the training ground was currently empty except for him.

'What would happen if I swallow the Minotaur crystal' Ray pondered in his mind.

'I'm very far from my next evolution, but I wonder how many evolution points would add if I swallow the Minotaur crystal'

Evolution crystal: (40/500)

After the first evolution, Ray had swallowed hundreds of crystals but still his evolution points was still at 40, but he had never swallowed high-level crystal so he was anxious of how many points it would add to him.

Ray stood up again and continued training, he was getting more tired after each session, and his stamina was burning twice as fast because of his strength.

He had the stamina to keep training but his hands wouldn't let him, so anytime he put strains on his hands his stamina was reduced.

"We are still on patrol today, I'm getting really tired of this" a boy complained.

"Hey there's someone over there"

"We should see who it is," Matt said and the three of them walked towards the training ground.

Matt and his friends were still on patrol today, their job is to go around the academy and make sure nothing weird is happening, but nothing would happen it's just part of training.

"That boy training over there is really skilled and from the looks of it, he has been there a long time, he looks tired"

The boys were coming from Ray's back so they still haven't seen his face.

"Who's there?" Matt asked as they got close.

Ray haven't forgotten his voice, he turned around with a smirk on his face.

"Hi, it's me again," Ray said without hesitation.

"You... aren't you the boy from yesterday" one of the boys shouted.

"Yes it's me...is something wrong" Ray spoke, after what happened yesterday he had no respect for them anymore.

"You are really skilled you know, maybe we should duel and see who's more skilled," Matt said.

"I'm a little tired but okay...I can't turn down an opportunity like this, besides I'm using my blood spears" Ray muttered.

"You are going to duel with him, you are stronger than him so why bother"

"He seems to have a misunderstanding after what happened yesterday so I'm going to clear that out," Matt said as he unsheathe his sword.

Ray was holding his blood spears while Matt was with his sword, both of them held real weapons and not the usual wooden type used in training.

"I'm ready" Ray spoke with confidence.

"Okay...here I come"
