Beast Evolution

"Are you sure you aren't going to regret your decision, I wanted to fight barehanded" Ray said making the girls around shocked.

"I really want you to use your sword, so you wouldn't complain in the medical center," Jake said.

"Medical center... hmm you guys should get your friend a bed, he's going to need it" Ray smirked.

"You have a way with words, that's really nice," Jake said.

Leia walked toward Ray and unsheathe her sword.

"Ray, why are you doing this?" Leia whispered.

"This... I'm training, I want to see how I would fair against a mage in combat situations" Ray said.

"Isn't this going too far, that guy is in his third year and you are a first year" Leia said.

"Don't worry, I would win"

"Don't think of using magic, that would cause a lot of problems you know right?"

"Yes, thanks," Ray said and collected the sword from Leia.

Leia smiled and wished him luck, she turned around and walked towards Gabriel.

"So why is he taking it this far?" Gabriel asked.

"He wants to see how well he would fair against a mage," Leia said.

"Haha, I knew he would say something stupid, hope he's not planning to use magic?"

"No, I warned him"

"I'm really confused about Ray, I mean why would a mage join the knight academy, what made him join," Gabriel said.

"We should ask him after the battle, I'm also curious," Leia said.

"Anytime you are ready," Jake said.

"Ready and waiting" Ray replied.

"Back up this is an official duel," one of the boys that came with Jake said.

Everyone around moved back to create a large space for the battle, Ray held his sword tightly and waited patiently.

"Ready..."

"Wait," Ray said.

"Is something wrong?" the boy asked.

"No just give me some seconds"

'Just in case, maybe I should use my blood spear, that would be too damn suspicious, I can't open my [Void] and remove my spear with everyone watching'

'I should see his attribute and assess his strength before coming up with a plan' Ray said inwardly.

"Okay I'm ready," Ray said.

"I wonder what he just did," Leia said to Gabriel.

"Well let's find out"

"Okay, Ready... fight"

Ray smiled and took a battle stance, he clearly had a plan cooked up somewhere in his brains.

"I see your confidence is still soaring, you should attack now that I'm giving you a chance," Jake said.

"Don't worry, I'm waiting for you to strike first"

"I'm going to end this quickly but I should have some fun first, I should test his strength" Jake muttered.

"I really think you should strike first, knights are specialized in close combat so you shouldn't let me get close to you," Ray said.

"Really, well some mages are also specialized in close combat"

'Since he asked for it, I should strike first'

*Swoosh*

Ray burst forward with speed, he wasn't going to take any chances, Ray felt Mana gathering around Jake but he wasn't going to let him cast a spell.

*Boom*

Ray swung his sword as hard as he could towards Jake but it didn't get to him. His sword was stopped by an invisible wall.

Ray tried attacking Jake from a different angle but still, his sword was stopped and Jake stood perfectly still.

Ray quickly retreated and moved away from Jake.

'What kind of spell is that, he didn't raise a finger'

Then Ray remembered what Alice told him, even if he was releasing Mana from his whole body Ray didn't know why his attacks didn't reach him.

Jake smiled as he saw Ray's face, Ray was looking at Jake pondering how he was going to attack him.

"I like the look on your face, now you know you don't stand a chance," Jake said and took a battle stance.

Ray raised his sword, he was ready for anything Jake would throw at him, fire, water, wind, Earth.

'I should try my new spell, he would be the perfect target practice hahaha' Jake said inwardly.

[Invisible Air Blast]

Jake stretch his hands but nothing came out, Jake looked at his hands in surprise.

"What it didn't work," Jake said loudly.

'Wait I know I felt Mana, maybe it was the shield he was putting on, but how come his spell didn't work maybe he's putting on a show so that...'

*Boom*

Ray was hit by an invisible force, the strong wind sent him flying and he landed with a thud, his sword fell a few feet away.

"Argh" Ray felt pain in his head.

Ray quickly regain his composure and stood up, he didn't expect the attack and he couldn't see it, or he would have dodged it.

"I knew this knight was full of himself," one of Jake's friends said.

"Yeah, he can't even lay a finger on Jake, now I know why Jake made this match an official duel, so he can beat the hell out of him and no one would question it"

'What kind of attack was that, that's why he hid his attribute from me, so it was wind' Ray clenched his fist in anger.

"So you really thought I didn't cast my spell, well why wouldn't you it's not like you can sense Mana" Jake laughed.

"What kind of spell Is that?" Leia asked Gabriel.

"That guy is really talented, I don't think Ray can win this" Gabriel said.

"Did you guys think your friend would win against Jake the strongest wind user, he's going to end up in the medical center" a girl close to Gabriel told them.

"The strongest wind user..."
