Chapter 42 - Rankings (2/2)

Kyle then looked towards me.

”Ray can you help out here, I don't think I can hold them back any longer.

I had been sitting at my bed the whole time not wanting to get involved. Their business was their business after all. There arguing was annoying me so I came up with a simple suggestion.

”Why don't you two just have a rank battle?”

Kyle's eyes looked as if they were going to pop out of his head as if I had just made the worst suggestion possible.

”Fine tomorrow after basic training well duel and see if you're black knight skills are as good as you say they are.”

Kyle was just shaking his head at what just happened as Monk and Gary went back to their dorms.

”Why would you say that?” Kyle said coming up to me.

”Did you forget that you all live together, what are you going to do if they carry on fighting in your room.”

”If they carry on doing that I'll step in and teach them both a lesson.”

Kyle laughed at the thought.

”I know we're both black knights but me and you are miles from them, I'm ranked at 160, and you're even lower then me, how could you stop then two.”

I simply walked off and headed back to the dormitory, I couldn't be bothered to give Kyle his answer and he wouldn't believe me anyway.

I got back to the room later then Gary and Monk. When entering the room the atmosphere was tense between the two of them and they both were keeping silent.

Sylvia came over towards me.

”What happened to those two, they've been like this since they entered the room?”

”They had an argument.” I didn't really want to explain much it wasn't my place to say anything.

Just then Dan came barging into the room all excited.

”Is it really true? that Monk and Gary are going to fight tomorrow!?” Dan said.

The whole room was in shock at what they had heard. It wasn't a normal thing for someone of high rank to accept a match with someone several ranks below them unless they had a personal grudge. But that wasn't the only thing, this was between two people that we all knew well.

”From the looks of things, I think you hit the nail on the head,” Sylvia said.

Seconds later it seemed like the whole school was talking about the upcoming fight between Gary and Monk and I could only guess who it was that spread the news so fast.

Kyle.
