Chapter 161 - Brotherly Bond
Ray opened up his status screen to have a look at the new skill he had just obtained. If Ray's theory was correct and he gained a new skill every ti he saved a life, it ant that the True infected would have been able to kill everyone there.
He wasn't able to gain a skill of the students because he saved them all before but he had received a new skill for saving the life of Ann Woodwock, Martha's mother.
This skill can only be used when the skill Doppelganger is activated. The user is able to swap its real body with one of its clones no matter how far apart they are from each other. Once this skill has been used there is a cooldown period of one hour.
The skill was useful for Ray, Ray always had a worry in the back of his mind that if he went out hunting one ti and the Academy found he was missing or was under attack, there was nothing he could do. It would take him too long to get back. This solved that problem for him.
Although, even if the clone was able to take his place in training and be seen, the clone was unable to interact with people. It didn't have the ability to speak.
When Ray closed his status screen, he was surprised to see another ssage appear and it was from Von.
"I would like for you to call a eting between the Red wings and inform them of how to deal with a True infected. I also have a request. I would like to invite Wilfred, Sir K and Ann to the eting."
Ray knew what Von's intentions were, he was most likely asking Ray permission to invite these three people into the Red wings. Ray actually thought it was a good idea as he always welcod more power and these three were strong but would they even join? This was his main concern.
The other concern that Ray had was he had indeed found out how to defeat a True infected but was unsure if the others could use the sa thod as his.
Ray sent a reply back to Von agreeing to call a eting tomorrow. Ray then imdiately sent a ssage to all the mber of the Red wings. Just as Ray had finished, the sound of the door opening to the Dorms roof was heard.
"Hey, how are you doing?" Gary asked as he ca over to join Ray at the ledge. "It's been a while since it's just been us two hasn't it?"
"Now that you ntion it, it has." Ray didn't know why but it was as if he was avoiding Gary without even realising it. He had long decided to invite Gary into the Red wings but sothing was holding him back.
"What's wrong?" Gary asked.
"When you found out Amy had died, how did you deal with it?"
Gary looked out at the city before giving his answer.
"I haven't Ray, even though everything that's going on with the city at the mont I still think about revenge every single day. It's like there's a weight on my heart that just won't go away until I find the people who killed my sister."
For the first ti, Ray felt like he could really connect with Gary, he currently had the sa feeling tugging on his heart. Ray hoped the feeling would have gone away so he asked Gary. The answer Gary gave was not what he was hoping for, it ant Ray would have to deal with this pain until he had dealt with the Shadow plague.
"Gary… I want to invite you to this special group I'm a part of."
"I know about it Ray."
Ray stood there for a mont.
"What!?"
"Did you think Monk could keep a secret or that Kyle would be able to keep his mouth shut gossiping about it with the others."
"Then why didn't you co to
sooner."
"It's your choice right, after all, aren't you the leader. Your Nes right?"
Ray took a few steps back, he had been trying so hard to keep the secret but here Gary was saying he already knew?
Gary continued.
"I saw you use ice abilities and fire abilities before when we were fighting the Pureblood mbers and back at the arena before Nes" Gary said using his fingers as quotation marks. "Before Nes left the arena I saw him summon a wolf that looked exactly like the one you had that ti."
Ray didn't know how he was ant to feel but for so reason, he felt bad about the whole thing and he naturally said, "I'm sorry."
Gary then slapped Ray on the back.
"Don't be, this isn't like you. Rember I'm the one who should be apologising to you Ray. I owe you my life and I know you have your secrets and when you're ready you will tell them."
Gary then put out his hand in front of Ray.
"Let's do this together."
Ray looked at the hand and shook it.
"Together."
Ray then opened up the system and offered Gary a contract. Just like the others, Gary couldn't believe his eyes, a piece of paper had appeared out of nowhere and all the conditions were set. Just what was Ray? Gary thought.
Gary signed the paper and after doing so imdiately looked at the list of mbers.
"What the! You're telling
I was the last person you invited, bro. I thought we were like brothers. How the hell did Dan get an invite before , he Hated your guts at one point and that little creep Harry is on here."
Gary continued looking down the list.
"Huh, the elder is on here too!"
When Gary had finally cald down Ray explained to Gary that there would be a eting at the martial arts hall tomorrow between all the mbers of Red Wings. The two said goodbye and Ray planned what he was going to do for tomorrow.
