Beast Evolution

"Martha you don't have to stammer just because boys are here," Crystal said and they all laughed and walked towards the training ground.

'I have a nice life here unlike when I was in my world, I have friends who care about me, a beautiful girl who loves me, and a pet wolf'

'I won't let anything or anyone take that away from me, not even the golden haired man'

...

"Don't worry Vaan he would be okay, Aurora is the best healer I know"

"I know Ian, I'm just anxious I'm not worried," Vaan said.

Vaan was one of the silver haired men that attacked the knights and his brother Vincent was the one that had his hands cut off by Arthur, Ian was the huge man that wields an axe.

The two of them were in a small room that was located in an abandoned castle, well not so abandoned because that was where they were training their army secretly.

Aurora walked into the room, she was the lady with the red hair and the healer among their group.

"How is he?" Vaan asked.

"He's doing fine, though he's unconscious," Aurora said.

"I told you he's going to be fine" Ian laughed.

Vaan sat down and sighed, "That's great"

"How did he get so injured that both of his hands were cut off, where were you?" Aurora said.

"I was busy, he told me to leave that he's going to take care of the knights"

"And you left him there"

"I left him with only one knight, the rest of them followed me and I exhausted my Mana and I had to return back to the dungeon," Vaan said.

"That knight must be skilled to be able to do that"

"Yes, but master took care of it," Vaan said.

"The knight survived," Aurora said.

"What!!! how did he survive, I thought he sent that powerful boar there?"

"Yes, the boy you were sent to bring killed it, master said he's a beast, but he had never seen a beast like him"

"He's a beast, so he can transform into a human" Vaan said.

"Yes," Aurora said and sat down.

"What is master planning to do with him, should we kill him or what?" Vaan asked.

"No, he wants us to bring him in"

"Bring a kid in, to do what, use him for target practice hahaha" Ian laughed.

"It's not funny big man, he wants him to be part of us," Aurora said.

"Be part of what, a kid, is he serious"

"I don't know, he just said the kid has potential to do lots of things, and it would be nice to have a kid around, that's what he said"

"Can I see my brother now?" Vaan asked.

"I don't know, Edith is looking after him"

"Okay"

...

Training went great, the students were asked to train in the field but there was no supervision so they did as they liked, something interesting even happened.

"Place your bets here" Ivan shouted.

The students were betting their coins for a battle, the students ranked 10 challenged the rank 3 to a duel.

Ray went to the toilet to ease himself when he got back Ivan was collecting money from the students.

Ray wondered what was happening and decided to ask a student, "hey what's happening"

"Jack is going against Gabriel, he challenge Gabriel to a fight after someone said no one among the students could beat Gabriel"

"I'm betting on Gabriel to win," the students said and ran towards Ivan.

Ray walked toward the rest of them, "Hey guys do you know what Is happening"

"Yea, Jack challenged Gabriel, and that idiot Ivan turned it into a game, most of the students are betting against Jack," Leia said.

"Can you believe Martha and Crystal bet against Jack?" Lily said.

"Well we should watch and see what happens," Ray said.

Most of the students had gathered around a section of the training area. The crowd of students formed a square shape of people to use as a ring, Gabriel and Jack were standing away from each other ready to fight.

The knights obviously didn't know about this or else everyone would be punished.

Ivan had unexpectedly turned into the organizer of the battle, he told the students to form the square ring and collected the bets from students.

Ray stood close to his friends when Ivan came to meet them.

"Hey Ray, want in on the action," Ivan said.

"No thank you, I just came to watch"

"Okay, what about you girls, want in" Ivan smiled.

"I can't believe you Ivan," Sofia said.

"This is just a way to make money, some people bet against Gabriel while almost all of them bet against Jack, so if Jack manages to win, lots of money"

"He's going to win," Arya said.

"Bye, I have to start the duel," Ivan said and ran towards the center of the duel where Gabriel and Jack were standing telling everyone that the betting was now closed.

"Ray who do you think would win," Lily asked him.

"I don't know, Jack is strong but I don't know about that guy," Ray said.

"Let's watch," Crystal said smiling.

...

"So how much did you make" Sofia giggled.

"Yeah you can laugh all you want, I didn't make any money," Ivan said angrily.

"I knew this would happen from the start," Leia said.

"But the senior knights were all resting, how did they hear about the battle," Ivan said.

"We didn't get to see who won," Ray said.

"Yes, we'll try again next time" Ivan smirked.

The group heard a knock on the door, and a senior knight stepped in.

"Ray follow me," the knight said and Ray immediately obeyed and followed the knight.

They walked outside of the training field and towards a house not too far from the training field.

As he entered the house the knight stopped outside and only Ray went in, he walked through the passage and got to a room, Authur, Alfred, Ivy, James, and a knight named Bernardo was present in the room.

They were all seated around a square table and one of the chairs was empty and he was directed to seat on it.

Ray's heart was already racing, he was going to be interrogated and it wouldn't be easy, he's not mentally strong, maybe he is he just didn't know, well we're going to find out.

"So are you okay now?" Authur asked.

"Yes sir" Ray replied.

"So why did you leave the camp when all the students were told to stay?" Alfred asked him.

Ray didn't know what he was going to say, he can't tell them his system gave him a quest or the fact that he was a beast, so what was he going to say.

"I saw a beast and I chased after it," Ray said.

"Do you really think that you can lie to us?" Ivy said.

"What made you enter that forest?"

"To tell you the truth, I heard a voice in my head telling me that I should enter the forest, I wasn't going to listen but then a wolf appeared and the voice told me that he sent the wolf as a distraction that I should come inside the forest" Ray lied with a serious face.

"So what happened?" Bernardo asked.

'Wow, they bought that, that's great I should keep on going'

"As I went inside the forest, the voice told me to come closer, then a hand hit my neck and I fell unconscious," Ray said.

"But why did you obey the voice, what if they were trying to kill you?" Authur said.

"I don't know, it was like something came over me, I was reluctant to go but I still went and I don't know why," Ray said.

"It must be that beast doing, the wolf was his, but why did he help me back then," Authur said.

"Maybe he wanted to trick you and take something from you," Alfred said.

"But he treated me, I was injured and he healed me, he also killed that boar, so I don't think he's the one that sent it," Authur said.

"What about that stupid thing he told us, should we believe him," Alfred said.

"What did he tell you?" Ivy asked.

"He told us that the people that attacked us would attack the capital in a few week time," Alfred said.

"And you are just telling us now" James shouted.

"I didn't know if it was true or he was joking," Alfred said.

'You guys should better think of a plan to stop that attack, I was there when the attack happened, I wonder if I would also be in the capital when it actually happens' Ray thought

"You can go, but expect your punishment tomorrow" Alfred said.
