Chapter 145 - One Ti
*Ding
Suddenly, a notification sound could be heard. Ray opened his status screen and smiled at the result.
"looks like Slyvia accepted after all." Ray was pleased with Jack's work, honestly, a part of him thought that he wouldn't be able to do it but sohow, he had managed to. Just then though Ray also spotted another na.
"Von…. THE OLD MAN!" Ray couldn't believe his eyes.
If Jack had told him he had invited the old man, Ray would have been shocked but to find out the old man actually accepted. Without even realising it one of his teachers had beco a follower of his. Ray felt a little guilty but he had no choice. The best thing to do was to keep his identity secret.
Everyone was already trying to kill him and he didn't need more people.
The next day once training had finished, Ray had decided to go look for Slyvia. He was currently waiting outside in the hall just around the corner from one of the eting rooms. Ray had learnt from Jack, Slyvia's schedule so now it was easy for Ray to bump into Slyvia whenever he wanted.
The eting finally finished and Slyvia was burnt out. So much information had been shoved into her head over the last few days and she was really struggling with it all.
"I'm sorry." Von said, "I wish I could do more."
Slyvia but on a brave smile.
"It's alright, I'll get the hang of it soon don't worry."
As Slyvia turned the corner, she suddenly saw Ray standing there. Slyvia quickly turned and went back behind the wall. She then peeked around the corner just to check if it was really Ray.
"It is him, is he waiting for ?" Sylvia thought.
Slyvia then started to look around her, she finally spotted a shiny tal ornant on the side that was part of the academy decoration.
"Look at ," Sylvia said as she stared into the shiny ornant and started to sort out her hair.
Von then cleared his throat to signal that he was still there.
Slyvia face then went bright red, she had completely forgotten he was right next to her. Slyvia took in a deep breath and then walked out into the hallway.
"Hey Ray," She said as she waved, "What brings you here?"
"I need to ask a favour."
Slyvia, Von and Ray decided to head to the roof of the dorm which was Ray's favourite spot. Ray liked this spot not only because of the view but it allowed him to keep an eye on the people around him better.
Ray then cut straight to the chase.
"I need permission to leave the city walls."
"That's going to be quite difficult, the other elders are keeping an eye on you more than anyone else, why do you need to go out so bad? maybe if you give a reason, I can convince them."
Ray thought about what to say for a while until he had finally decided on what he wanted to say.
"I need to get stronger; you see Slyvia I have this ability. I'm able to absorb Ki from living creatures and add it to my own."
This was the most Ray was willing to tell them. Slyvia had already experienced Ray giving her Ki so it wouldn't co as so much of a surprise and Ray suspected that Von had an idea after what happened to the students in the arena.
Of course, this was a lie, Ray's body currently couldn't handle any more mana or Ki, what he needed was the beast's crystals to evolve his own body.
"So it's true then," Von said.
"We both talked about the possibility of this." Slyvia said, "Is there anything else you can do?"
Ray shook his head.
"I need to prepare myself; you know I'm a target and I need to get more powerful. The fastest way to do that is for
to go hunting."
Slyvia thought about it for a while, in truth she currently thought that perhaps outside the city was safer for them all, then in the city at the mont.
"I'll try my best."
"Thank you."
A few hours later and Slyvia went to the dorm to et up with the others and Ray once more, the two of them left the room and went to the roof again to speak.
" and Von talked about it, we think it's dangerous to ask permission from the academy at the mont. There was no way they would accept a request like this but we have co up with a solution. Von is a friend with one of the rchants that regularly visits the city for supplies. He is also close with the guards on shift at a certain ti of day."
Slyvia then lifted her hand and showed one finger.
"One ti, this will only work one ti so you need to make the most out of it. The rchant has agreed to hide you in his cargo next week. He will return the next day but this is the only ti we can do this."
One ti was all that Ray needed. Ray was currently at 79 interdiate points so he only needed to hunt a few more beasts to level up. If he could, he would like to also obtain enough crystals so Noir could also level up but he was the current priority at the mont.
"Oh, and Ray, there was more thing, be on the lookout around you, Von told
that the academy has soone watching you most of the ti these days. They call him the Lurker."
Slyvia's words had brought back a mory of Ray's. He had heard this na once before from Jasmine. When they had escaped the red door, Jasmine said Sir K had been inford by the Lurker. Just who was this Lurker?
Then another thought ca back to Ray, perhaps this man was the sa person who was at the library at that ti. If that was true then this Lurker person was bad for Ray, as his dragon eyes ability had no way of detecting him but no matter what Ray needed to leave the city.
