Chapter 342 - Getting them Back (2/2)

”Hey, watch your tongue,” Kyle complained. ”I am still here, you know.”

”Stand up,” Ray said. ”If you truly wish to learn from me, then prepare to accept the consequences.” Just then, a magical scroll appeared out of thin air. It had been a while, but it was the contract that they had heard about.

Although all knights of the Redwing army were made to sign the contract. Students were not. They were too young, and Avrion was more using them as a method to fund the city itself. However, with Avrion technically at war, many of the students had left the city, and those that left didn't have much of a family, to begin with. Avron had become their home.

While Ray knew he needed someone he could trust, he couldn't risk making his enemy stronger, or someone to betray him after he had lent them all this power.

Seeing the conditions, and seeing the contract, it was something Flynn had only heard about. Only the top members of the Redwings were able to offer one. 'Just who was this man really?' Flynn thought.

If he was a simple old friend of Kyle, it made no sense for him to be able to offer a contract. The only conclusion Flynn could come to was he must have been someone high up in the Redwings that was hardly seen.

Once the contract was signed, the students continued with their training. While Flynn was now tagging along with both Ray and Van to their next destination. Before that, Kyle stopped Ray just before leaving.

”Hey Ray, what's going on, you never offered contracts to the new students before,” Kyle asked.

Ray explained the beasting process that was taking place. How they needed strong individuals who would be able to survive the process. In a way, this team would become a special unit for them when fighting against the Shadow.

”I want in,” Kyle said. ”And before you say it's too dangerous or something like that please understand. Monk and Gary were my friends too, Ray. I miss the old times when it was just us four, and I want to do whatever it takes to get them to come back.”

Ray looked at Kyle, he was indeed strong enough to survive the process, but for some reason, Ray didn't even want to consider those close to him for it. He felt like the stronger his friends would get the more they would be targeted, and he didn't want them to burden that pain.

But hear Kyle was aksing him, practically begging him to help out in some way. Perhaps Ray's thoughts of not even asking his friends were selfish.

”Very well, Kyle, I will put you on the list.”

”Come on, you two,” Ray said. ”We have more places to go to.”

”Where are we going to next?” Flynn asked.

”Why don't we head to the white sash area next.”
