My Dragon System

The notification screen had appeared, and Ray was starting to wonder if this would ever come up.

It seemed that as soon as the slaves that Ray had saved from the auction stepped into the city; the system had deemed Ray as having saved their lives.

'Does this mean, if I had left them to fend off on their own, they still would have died? I remember the Divine being saying it could predict a little about what would happen to them and that was somehow linked to my system,' Not fully understanding what was going on, this was the only guess he could come up with.

With many tasks to do ahead of him, Ray would look at them a little bit later. After greeting Jack, he informed him of everything that had happened and also said how he would be going to the empire.

"Ray! You have to let me come with you!" Jack pleaded, but it was useless.

"They need you more." Ray said, pointing at the werewolves behind him, who were nervously looking around at the humans. Although they had chosen to go with Jack, and knew that there would be humans here, they were still scared from the events before.

Looking at them, Jack knew Ray was right.

"Ray… Just don't do anything stupid." Jack said.

"And I say the same to you." He replied as they both laughed.

After informing Jack, Ray went on to speak to Katy, as there was some important information he needed to tell her as well. He simply said that she was to follow the orders of Slyvia to the best of her ability. She didn't argue about it and would do what she was asked to, but she couldn't help but wonder who Slyvia was to Ray.

"Is Sylvia the queen." Katy asked.

For a second, Ray took a pause to think about it. She certainly did run the place a lot more than he did, and all of the others respected her like she was one.

"I guess she kinda is." Ray replied.

At that point and time, it felt like a dagger was shoved into Katy's heart, but she kept on a brave face and gave a salute to Ray.

"I shall deliver the goods to her as you ordered." She said, as she quickly went off.

There was one more reason to why Ray had decided to meet the others at the gate. He knew that it would be a while until everything was sorted, and he wanted to get a few items from the carriages himself.

They had completely raided the auction house at the town of Zrey, and there were some good things in there. This included king tier beast crystals. After taking all of the king tier beast crystals, that was possible. The next step was to meet the dwarf Raiden, to see if he could not only create a replacement weapon for Jack but also perhaps some new things for himself as well.

After the meeting had ended, both Bliss and Lenny headed to their research room and had also invited Kyle, Harry, and the two students there as well.

Everyone had gathered in the room. Behind both Lenny and Bliss, a table could be seen with several cuffs attached, as well as chains going across the floor. It wasn't a pleasant sight to say the least, and seeing this they knew it wasn't going to be easy either.

Infront of that table was another one to the side, and it was filled with beast crystals which had been separated into piles based on what beasts they had come from. On the table there was a total of six different basic tier crystals, and only four were to go through the beasting process.

"Okay," Lenny said with a huge huff. "Me and Bliss have been talking, and it looks like we should be able to match these beasts to any of you. What I will say though, is to make sure it is one that will compliment your skills. You all saw how much Martha improved and how well it complimented her bow out on the field."

"If your movements require you to be fast and stealthy, then there is no point choosing a beast that won't compliment that." Lenny then panned his eyes around the room as he looked at the four, before pointing towards Harry.

"I believe it's fair that Harry gets the first pick. After all, he will be competing in the All kingdom tournament so it's best if he gets first choice."

The others had no complaints about this. Out of all of them, Harry had done the most work when it came to hunting and killing the beasts, so the others only thought it was fair.

Walking over to the table, Harry looked at each of the crystals and started to think back to when they had fought against the beast. Trying to think what could possibly be useful to him.

Finally, after thinking back for a while, he finally had chosen one, and thus picked up the crystal.

"Yes!" Kyle cheered in excitement. "I mean… Oh no! That's the one I was going to pick."

The others looked at him like a fool. Did he think no one could see or hear his words?

Due to the way Kyle had acted, Lenny decided to allow the two students to go before them picking their own crystals as well, leaving Kyle with the last choice.

As Kyle walked up to the table, he dragged his feet across the floor and his head was down depressed. The one that he would have chosen was chosen by the black knight student Flynn.

Not caring anymore, Kyle didn't even think about what was the most suitable for him and had just chosen one from the table.

"Okay!" Bliss said in a cheery, upbeat voice. "The first people to come up will be you two." She said pointing at the two students.

Immediately, they started to shake. "Wait, why can't we let one of them go first." Flynn replied. "That way we can you know, see how scary it is?"

Wendy didn't say anything, but for once she actually agreed with what Flynn had said. The idea that the beasts they had just fought would become a part of them in some way, was just still all too surreal to imagine.

"The reason is, we need them to hold you down. If you start going out of control and shaking about, then they are going to hold you down."

Bliss words were not helping at all. They were now imagining just how much the process must possibly hurt for them to react like that. But as Wendy thought of her little brother, and how Ray had kept all of his promises of looking after him, she decided to step forward.

"I'll go first." Wendy said.

Wendy walked up to the table, and climbed up top, while Lenny continued on with the preparations of the rest of the crystals.

"You disappoint me, Flynn." Kyle said. "If it was me, that's when I would have volunteered. Saying, "No, I'll go first. It would have been a very, very cool thing to do."

At this point, Flynn took a step away from Kyle. Other than a teacher student relationship, Flynn didn't spend much time with Kyle and now he was starting to see that he was a little strange.

The doors were shut and after a few hours of screaming and bearing through the pain, each one of them went through the process. More guards were called in eventually to help, when it was the a.d.u.l.ts' turn, but there were no hiccups along the way and they had all completed their beasting process.

The special human beast unit had been created and Harry was feeling stronger than ever, ready to take part in the all kingdom tournament.
