Chapter 133 - Act with Fate (2/2)

”I'm okay, I was just having a look at the mountain,” Ray said as he walked off.

It was as Ray thought. It seemed like it was impossible If they were to try to sneak out of the gate. If Ray was on his own then perhaps he could do something about it using Noir but Ray had a group of eight with him.

Ray thought about it for a while until he finally came up with a plan.

Ray then went back into the dorms and called everyone over including Jasmine. He checked to see if anyone was watching them with his dragon eyes skill and it didn't seem like anyone was there. The feeling Ray had at the library didn't appear either.

Ray proceeded to tell the others of his plan. The others liked the sound of the plan but Slyvia was still worried about a few things.

”Won't the academy notice we're missing? What about if we don't come back for a while?” Slyvia asked.

”I wouldn't worry about it too much,” Gary said. ”You saw how the knights reacted when we were stuck in the arena. They abandoned us. If they found out we were missing, they wouldn't even have a search team look for us. We'll just take whatever punishment they give us when we come back.”

The others felt slightly awkward by Gary's words. Each one of them had a clear image of what happened at the arena and they knew Gary was right.

”So when do we leave?” Monk asked.

”On the first night when there's heavy rain,” Ray replied. ”It's best we do this at night time as well. Both of these things will make it harder for us to be seen and if we can, it would be best if we avoid the attention of the master knights. I don't want them wondering where we all went off to. This will give us a chance to come back before they ever find out.”

The rest agreed and eagerly waited for a night were rain would come and as if fate itself wanted Ray and the others to act, the very next day there was a heavy downpour of rain and heavy gust of winds. It was a full-on storm. The rain was so heavy that most of the knights took cover inside apart from the ones who were forced to stay on guard duty.

The sun went down and the storm continued on throughout the night. It was a full moon today but even the cries of the beast couldn't be heard through the storm.  The others decided to meet up in an alley behind two houses just by the back gate.

Finally, one by one everyone had arrived separately making sure that they didn't look suspicious travelling as a group.

”Is everyone ready?” Ray asked.

Everyone responded with a nod.

Then Ray opened up his status screen and proceeded with his plan.
