With lazy eyes, he moved his vision that was once focused on the moon to the area where he heard the sound coming from.

Thanks to his still working night vision goggles, he was able to witness everything ahead of him clear as day.

In front of him was a large man, his bulging muscles easily seen through his heavy dark blue armour, the black bandana on his forehead emphasizing the obnoxious red hair that spiked up above his head.

Unlike what he had assumed, it was not the retrieval team… No, far from it...

Ray was able to recognize that man at but a glance… How could he not when he was forced to live and suffer with him for over the past week?

It was none other than Jason… A crazy, predator-like, twitchy smile on his face that looked slightly more damp than usual, walking rather stiffly in his direction.

Seeing him walking towards him ready to devour him, no injuries on his body like he had no care in the world only confirmed his earlier suspicions that Moby did in fact lose as he feared.

However, that revelation did not surprise him in the slightest since he had already come to terms with the outcome long ago. He was foolish to think otherwise, there was no way in hell Moby was able to defeat 2 A rank students fighting him, both being equal or above his power level. Even if not all at once, he would have been too drained from the first fight to even stand a chance in the second one.

What did truly surprise him was the fact that his earlier assumption of him having no more value to them was completely false, proven by Jason who he knew was no doubt there to take him along with him.

”So you came back!? Did you not have enough the last time? What do you want to fucking do to me now huh? You want to make me a full-time sweatshop worker!?” Ray yelled with mad, over the top hand movements, the craziness in his distorted smile and uncanny eyes growing wider and more immense as he spoke.

'Heh… Maybe working under them for a bit longer would not be so bad, they might be able to save me from the school's wrath… Plus, now I could be able to meet up and join forces with Moby again, and maybe we could take them out together from the inside… Maybe the heavens have not forsaken us after all!' Ray thought, his jittery smile that radiated pure madness growing even wider on his face as he started to laugh like a mad-man seemingly out of nowhere.

Yet, for some reason, he could not shake the feeling that there was something definitely off…

Despite Ray's clearly deranged provocations, Jason did not at all react, making him extremely confused.

The Jason he knew would have snapped, both figuratively and literally, mocking and belittling him with an amused laugh. So, why now of all times was he quiet? It made absolutely no sense to him. It was almost like he was an entirely different person.

However, that confusion did not last for long as it was quickly answered by Jason who had now lifted his right hands, putting his index against his thumb ready to snap, making Ray laugh in the realization that he was most likely low on time and just wanted to beat his ass before yelling at him when they got out of the forest, making his already disturbing laughter somehow even louder and far more grave.
