Chapter 296 - Nes and Nes (1/2)

Being in the shadow world, Ray needed his full abilities to fight, he not only needed to use his magic skills but his fighting skills as a knight and his other abilities as well. So he decided there was no need to disguise himself while in the shadow world.

He could have disguised himself as the adventurer Nes but it had been a long time since he had just been him. He would only use adventurer Nes when he had to talk to the Red wing members as a whole.

The leader of the Red wings was to remain a mystery to most, a powerful man that was rarely seen that they could rely on.

This way he also wouldn't reveal to the student's that he was the student Nes as well.

As the others saw the young a.d.u.l.t walk through to the village, with the large wolf calmly following behind him, they all had one thought. This person was strong. They didn't need to see him fight but unlike the rest of them there was no fear of him being in the shadow continent and it was clear he was the master of the beast.

”Hey, do you think that boy is the one who owns the wolf then?” Bliss asked.

”It would seem like it but the question is, is he friend or foe?” Springett replied.

As Flynn looked at the person closer, he noticed the red hair. ”Wait isn't he a part of your special unit Bliss, he has red hair?”

”No, I know what everyone looks like in that unit and this person I have never seen before.”

While the students were worried and discussing just who the mysterious man was, there was one person who decided to step forward.

”Ray?” Max said. ”Is it really you?”

Shocked that Max was friendly with the beast, they were now shocked again that Max also knew this stranger.

”Wait you know this person?” Bliss said.

”I think so, unless I'm imagining things but I think he's my sister's boyfriend.”

”Huh!!!” The group surrounding Max all had the same reaction. They knew Max was a noble but not form one of the big families. To know someone who was able to command such a powerful beast as this.

They started to wonder who Max sister had manged to snag.

Of course, what Max had also said wasn't true. Max had only assumed that the two of them were an item. Every time Max would hear from his sister it would always be about Ray this, or Ray has done this for the city, and I don't know what Ray is doing. The amount she talked about Ray, he could only assume the two were together.

When Ray finally got close to the village, he allowed Noir to go back and lie down in the spot he was in before. He always felt bad for her being stuck in the system but there weren't many chances where he could bring her out and she could roam about freely.

Seeing the village, Ray was quite surprised to find all the students here, he had decided to follow the strange energy source that was drawing him here. The energy had long gone but he still wondered what it was only to find out that all the students had arrived.

”Is this your beast?” Springett asked.

”Yes,” Ray replied.

Springett then got down on one knee and bowed down to Ray.

”Thank you, when we were in deep trouble your beast saved our lives.”

It was a strange sight for Ray to see. While in the academy he always saw Springett as a threat, someone who was out to expose his secret but now she was here bowing down to him.
