Chapter 251 - The Empires backing

Chapter 251 - The Empire's backing

Originally when Ray started his search for Van, it was a task set to him by the queen. As a favour for helping him join the academy, Ray decided he would help find out why her son was being bullied and being called a freak in school.

Then when Ray found out the Divine being had tasked this person with a great task, Ray's own personal interest was piqued. If this person was to travel with him in the future Ray wanted to know what he was like.

And finally, after seeing what happened in the academy, Ray forgot about all the reasons before. He felt like he was able to connect with Van on some level and now Ray truly wanted to help him.

"Please just leave me alone," Van said, "Why are you trying so hard to get involved, it's none of your business?"

"Are you really okay with people calling you names, Monster, Freak, weirdo. It might be something that will happen for your whole life."

"Yeah… I'm fine with it, because I deserve to be called all those things."

That's when Max pulled Ray to one side.

"Look see, he said he deserves this, case closed, now let's go."

Ray was amazed by how different Max was compared to his sister Slyvia. She was brave strong and always used her brain, where it felt like Max was the complete opposite. Trying to get out of things as soon a possible but Max was loyal and had stuck by Ray's side through all the crazy things they did.

"Fine," Ray said, "If you don't want to talk about it, then I will just go talk to Blake." Then Ray started to walk off with Max out of the room while Van looked at Ray's back.

Van clenched his fist struggling inside with what to do, why did Ray care so much about his situation in the first place?

While the two were walking down the hallway Max couldn't help but worry about what Ray was planning to do.

"Nes, You can't be serious right, you're not really going to go talk to Blake?"

"Of course not, even if I did go talk to him do you think he would just give me an answer?" Ray replied.

"Then what are you going to do?"

For that, Ray didn't have an answer.

After having a confrontation with Ray and seeing how unafraid he was. Blake had asked his friends to gather as much information as possible. In one of the open meeting rooms In the upper-class building. Blake and two of his friends were discussing the information.

Crunk held a piece of paper in his hand and started to read it out loud.

"His name is Nes Talen, he didn't attend the first year at Roland academy apparently because of a really bad illness. It also states that he had had a weak body ever since he was young."

"Weak, sick, if you asked me it didn't look like he was sick," Blake said.

"He is now currently roommates with Van and they also attend the same class. Also, Max heart has been seen hanging around with them a lot."

"Anything else?" Blake asked.

"Yeah, he was the first person to ever receive a perfect score on the admission test. It's why they allowed him to join as a second-year student rather than a first-year."

"Now it's all starting to make sense, that brat was so arrogant just because he got a perfect score on a stupid test."

"What are you planning to do?"

Blake then grabbed the advance beast crystal that was on a table by his side and held it in his hand.

"Of course, we need to teach those arrogant bottom feeders to never go against us upperclassmen again."

It was now night time, and with everything that had been going on for the last few days, Ray needed time to clear his mind. Unlike at Avrion, there was no public roof on the dorm. Since most of the building was slanted roofs on the top.

But that didn't bother Ray and he decided to climb on top of the roof and look out at Roland. In the distance, surrounding the city Ray could see the glowing orbs that protected the city from ariel attacks. Ray started to think back as his time as a dragon, the human race had no such thing.

They truly had advanced in all these years. With nothing else to do and his progress going slow at the academy he decided to contact Jack using the system.

"Hey boss, how are you doing?" Jack said, "Did you manage to make any new friends at the academy?"

"That's not what's important, I'm struggling with the queen's request at the moment, it seems like Van doesn't want any help. It's strange, here it's like all the students have been hypnotized by someone and targeting the prince. All calling him freak or monster."

"Sounds a bit like you boss when you first joined Avrion, why don't you just do the usual and shut them up with your fist."

"Well, it seems like this Blake Dornway person is behind it, and I was about to today but stopped myself."

"Dornway?" A females voice said.

"Oh is that Martha, it seems like she has arrived at Roland then."

After Monk had left Avrion city, Martha had been obsessed with wanting to do something to get him back. She was causing a disturbance to the whole city always asking Slyiva what they should do. In the end, Slyvia decided it would be best to send Martha to team up with Jack to grow the guild's presence.

"Yes of course." Martha replied," The Dornway family are a famous clan of Noble's who have produced many top tier magicians in the world. In fact, it is said that the head of the family is working for the empire at the moment."

"Well if that's true then no wonder everyone's afraid to touch him, even if they were to find out that Van was the son of the queen it wouldn't stop someone coming from the empire," Jack added.

Ray didn't know too much about the political affairs of the outside world. After all, he was always just concerned about him and his task he had set himself.

"Ask Lenny to look into the Dornway's family background more, if the head of the family is a high ranking official in the empire it could start another war regardless of the current war against the shadow."

Learning more information about Blake didn't help Ray at all. He thought back to the incident earlier today where he had nearly hit Blake. If he did that would have been a serious problem and he would have been kicked out of the academy.

But Blake was sometimes taking things to far, and Ray wondered how much longer he could hold himself back.
