Chapter 247 - A Threat (2/2)

”I don't understand.” Ray said, ”There is a freak in Roland, I haven't seen anyone who would look like a freak?”

”You know what I'm talking about, perhaps you sympathise with him, or you're doing it to make yourself feel better treating him nicely. But I'm telling you now. If you don't listen to my warning, you are the one who will truly suffer in this academy.”

”Are you threatening me?” Ray asked clenching his fist.

Nano could see this and placed his face right over Ray's.

”Interpret my words however you like.”

After the tense confrontation with the middle-class students, Max and Ray went to relax on a nearby outside bench.

”Now will you finally listen to me. ”Max said, ”They blatantly came out and said if you continue to get involved, they're going to attack us.”

Ray thought about it for a while, there were two options he could use to deal with this. Either he could beat the students to a pulp, or solve it politically.

Ray was more inclined to go with the second option as Lenny had given him advice before entering the academy. He didn't know enough about the other students. According to Lenny, many Nobles spread through Alure kingdom sent their family members here.

What Ray needed now more than ever was to gather strong members into his army to fight against the shadow in a year's time. Ray had to be careful who he allied with and who he went up against in this academy if he had any hopes of recruiting them in the future.

And if he went around beating up all his future allies then, Ray could only blame himself when the time had come and Ray needed their help.

”Hey, Max you're from the heart family right?” Ray asked, ”Maybe you will be able to gather some information. Out of all the students get information on which ones would be able to ally with us, or are powerful enough to go against Blake's family. People who at least have the same backing as Blake, I doubt that the only reason the academy is turning a blind eye is because of his potential but I suspect it has something to do with his background as well.”

Without anyone realising it though, Van actually had the strongest backing in all of Roland with the Queen as his mother, but for some reason, Van was hiding this.

”It's time we investigate into this?” Ray said.

”Investigate, what do you mean?”

”Well let's just go and ask Van what happened, you never know maybe he will tell us.”

Ray had made up his mind, even though he had to be careful who he fought with there was one person he couldn't forgive and that was Blake. It was clear that Blake was the one who sent Nano to deliver that message. According to Max, Nano was practically Blake's right-hand man.

If he couldn't get the information from Van about what happened, then he would just have to go with plan B and beat it out of Blake.
