Beast Evolution

"A C rank adventurer, okay have a nice time in Avalon, don't cause trouble, and stay safe," the guard said and they created a way for Vincent to pass.

Vincent smiled and thanked the guards before walking into the capital.

'Don't worry I won't cause trouble, I won't just open a portal and invite trouble here' Vincent smirked as he looked around for a decent accommodation that could fit the five of them.

Morning was finally here, it took forever for the sun to rise, maybe it was because Ray couldn't sleep and kept waking up every hour, or maybe it was due to something else.

But finally, Ray and Leia had been called by the knights and were on their way there, Leia was still angry and didn't speak to Ray.

"Hi guys, I'm glad we are going on this trip," Gabriel said as Ray and Leia arrived.

"Yeah, me too" Ray replied.

"Leia is something wrong, or don't you want to go?" Gabriel asked because her face was a little gloomy.

"No I'm fine, I also want to visit the capital and see my mum while I'm there," Leia said.

"Okay, this would be really great, but I was wondering, do you guys know why they are taking us?" Gabriel asked.

"Yeah, I was thinking about that too, maybe we would be tested," Ray said.

"So we have to put out our best performance, this is great," Gabriel said.

"You are really hyped about going to the capital, is there a hidden reason for that?" Ray asked with a smile.

"You found me out, my brother just became a teacher at the Avalon academy so I wanted to pay him a visit," Gabriel said.

"Your brother teaches in the mage academy, wow that means he's really skilled in the usage and study of magic," Leia said.

'Oh, the Avalon academy is the mage academy, I've never heard that name before'

"Yes, that's why I wanted to see him, I want to know what it's like being a teacher" Gabriel laughed.

"It would be great as long as he likes teaching," Ray said.

The door to the room where the three of them were was opened and the senior knights came in, Authur, Alfred, and James stepped in.

The three of them stood up as soon as they stepped in.

"Morning Sir," they all said.

"Morning have your seat we have something to tell you before the journey," Authur said.

The three of them sat down waiting, the three senior knights sat down opposite them.

"Do you students know why we are taking you on this journey?" Authur asked.

"No Sir," Gabriel said.

"First we should tell you about the world now," Authur said.

'About the world, I wonder what's wrong, maybe infected beasts are still attacking'

"You witnessed the power of an infected when your survival training was interrupted right," Alfred asked them.

"Yes sir," Gabriel said.

"They don't die unless you kill them in one strike," Ray said.

"How do you know that?" Authur quickly asked him.

"I fought one of the infected boar back then before the knights came to our rescue" Ray answered.

"And you killed it?"

"Yes sir, I attacked it but it healed itself after every attack, then I managed to pierce the boar's neck and it died," Ray said.

"Okay you are lucky, but what he just said is true, and someone is behind it, we don't know much about him," Authur said.

"I fought with one of the men that intruded the survival training, I cut off both of his arms but a black shadow enveloped him and his hands grew back," Authur said.

"His hands grew back, that's the highest level of healing, there's only one healer in Avalon who can regenerate lost limbs," Leia said with shock in her voice.

"Yes, so whoever is controlling that shadow is a powerful mage and he's also behind the beasts going frenzy and attacking," Authur said.

"But Sir why are you telling us," Gabriel asked.

"We wanted to tell the whole students but that would make everyone afraid but you students are protected here in the academy so there's nothing to worry about," Authur said.

"But the three of you are following us to the capital, so the journey won't be safe but we would protect you" James spoke.

"All cities and kingdoms are on high alert and have increased defense because of the increasing rate of infected beasts everywhere," Alfred told them.

Ray was just processing the information he was receiving, infected beasts are attacking almost all the cities now that must mean his dream was not just a dream.

"No" Ray shouted as he recalled something.

"Is something wrong?" Authur asked as they all looked around.

"I'm sorry, it's nothing Sir, I'm very sorry" Ray quickly said.

Ray just remembered something very crucial, when he had that dream, he saw himself and he was there with Leia and Gabriel, Authur and Alfred were also there.

And now they are going on a journey to the capital, the three of them along with Authur and Alfred, just like it was in his dream.

That means the capital would really be attacked and they wouldn't be able to stop it.

'No, I'm going to stop the attack and defeat the villain in this world, if that's the only way this world can be safe and I would return back to my world, I have to defeat the villain'.

'But firstly how will I go about it, I need a solid plan'

"So that's all, we are leaving very soon get ready," Authur said.

Ray had no idea what Authur just talked about because he was thinking of a plan. The three senior knights left the room and the three of them also stood up to leave.

"Hey Gabriel what was the last thing Authur said," Ray asked.

"He explained why we are going to the capital," Gabriel said.

"Really what did he say?"

"The senior knights were called to the capital to discuss about the defense of the knight academy, they are planning to move the mage to the knight academy," Gabriel said.

"Move the mages here..."
