Chapter 38 - Sir K (1/2)

After everyone had finished eating their meal in the dining hall, we were organized into separate groups based on our colours. The black sash students and white sash students looked tiny compared to the other colours.

I quickly went over to join Monk and Gary and noticed another student in front of them.

The fourth student also wore a black sash, he was one of the other boys from Renny town. I had recognized him before but didn't bother to learn his name until now.

His name was Kyle. Kyle was a bold headed energetic person but there was something that stood out about him. It was his eyebrows, his eyebrows were the shade of red so he was also one of the students who had red hair. Judging by his age and the little streaks of hair that could be seen, it looked as if Kyle shaved his head rather then born bold.

Each of the master knights were to lead the students to the training area associated with there colour. We were being led by the Knight dressed in black.

As we walked through the hallway together the master knight didn't say a word to the four of us, having no idea where we were heading. Kyle had been constantly fidgeting on the walk over, it looked like he was trying to find a chance to talk to the master knight but failed to do so.

Eventually, he took a deep breath and just went for it.

”Ermm, Sir, Master knight, what should we call you?”

Suddenly the knight stopped walking. There was silence for a good minute. Sweat had begun to run down the other three faces as if Kyle had just made a big mistake.

”You can call me K.” He finally responded.

The knight then continued to walk and we followed along. Strangely our path, unlike the other students, took us outside the academy. The moon was shining brightly and howls from beast creatures nearby could be heard. Monk and Kyle couldn't help but shake at the noises.

”The magical beast resides in the caves nearby. On a full moon like today there powers increase, on the rare occasion they have been able to enter the city so be on the lookout.” K said.

Kyle and monk gulped, they were so frightened I could have sworn I could hear their heartbeat.

”Have you ever been to the caves?” I asked, thinking it might be a good place to hunt.

”Although you a free to leave the city in your free time, I would not recommend hunting there unless you have a death wish.”

It seemed as if K knew what I was thinking. K gave me a strange feeling. It didn't feel dangerous but It didn't feel safe with him either. Usually, when I first meet someone I could tell there intent straight away. Even with the other master knights, I was able to tell. But K had been the first person were wasn't able to read him. In truth, it frightened me a bit.

Up ahead was a mansion-like building. It looked run down from the outside as if no one had lived in it for years. Out of the building came a tall figure. The darkness made the figure unclear.

The figure carried on walking towards us, Monk and Kyle couldn't help but shake in fear at the dark shady figure. Gary had his hand on his hilt ready to strike at any moment.

”Greetings, Sir K.”

”Same to you, Sir Delbert.”
