Chapter 310 - The Army Grows (1/2)
Ray and Roy were both charging into the centre of the field where the large battle had just taken place. Any second now the two of them would clash and the guards feared the damage that Roy had just saved the forest from, could end up in even worse condition.
”Nobody touches my men!” Ray shouted.
”Men, I didn't realize the shadow could be so loyal, isn't that why you mainly use the beasts to do your work?”
However, before the two men could clash, Lenny stood there in the centre.
”That's enough both of you!” Lenny shouted.
Ray then paused, and so did Roy.
”Old man, what are you doing here? I haven't seen you in years, have you finally gone mad and teamed up with the shadow?”
Springett then started running ”Wait!” She shouted, ”Tower master Roy, there has been a huge mistake.”
Springett was even in her breakthrough mode, using every bit of her energy to come over as quick as she could. She actually couldn't believe Lenny had gotten there before her.
Then she saw a magic circle underneath himself.
”Did he really create a small teleportation circle that fast?” Springett thought. ”He is still amazing as always.”

Springett had just finished explaining what had happened here today and how Ray and his guild were actually the ones that saved the Roland students. Lenny then went over to heal Jack and after Martha ordered the rest of the Underdog guild to start extracting the beast cores.
They could sell all of these for a profit to be used and would never have to worry about going hungry again.
”Ha, ha, I'm sorry, I nearly killed the saviour of our dear Roland students.” Roy said, trying to play everything off as a joke.
”Please master Roy, if you could apologize,” Springett asked.
”Of course,” Roy said, ”I'm sorry, the second I saw you I could tell you were strong and thought you had to be the shadow guard that the others were talking about.”
Ray was still upset at the fact that he had hurt Jack without even confirming who he was attacking. Yet still hadn't gone over and apologized to him. The two of them did not get on well with each other at all.
”An eye for an eye? Right.” Ray said, ”You burned my man, but you think you can get away with a simple apology? Why don't we see how much it takes to burn you?”
”Alright Ray, time for you to head back.” Martha said as she pulled him off to one side. ”Don't you have another mission to do.” She shouted, making sure she was heard.
”Ray it's best if you head back to the academy as Nes,” She whispered, ”It seems like Lenny knows the tower masters well and has managed to get one to help you on the inside. But if you're not back when everyone else is back at the academy, then it might cause some suspicion.”
”Very well.” Ray said as he took off into the forest and started to make his way the long way round back to the academy.
