Chapter 98 - Handsome man (2/2)

Not wanting to be rude Slyvia walked up to the man and bowed down.

”Forgive me sir, but how do you know my name?”

Slyvia was being extra polite. Her family had relations with many people who she had only seen when she was young. The man in front of her looked like an accomplished adventurer so she thought it would be best for her to mind her manners.

Ray had realised the grave mistake that he had just committed and needed to think of something fast.

”It's is a pleasure to meet you. I'm here because of the Avrion tournament. Of course I would know one of the contestants participating in today's matches.” Ray said as he nervously smiled.

Slyvia's instinct was telling her something was off. Slyvia hadn't fought in the opening round meaning no one should know what she looked like. Slyvia decided to play along for the time being as she remembered Sir K's warning. The person in front of her might be a member of Pureblood.

”I hope I can put on a good show for you.” She said as she smiled and went over to the counter.

Slyvia was currently picking up a new single-handed sword. Ray took a look and could tell it was an upgrade from her last weapon. She was currently holding a shark fin tiger beast blade. It was a curved sharp blade with a blue finish on the back. It matched her outfit well.

Slyvia picked up the blade and started to walk back out the door.

”Is that an advanced tier weapon you are carrying?” Ray asked.

”Slyvia nodded, ”My brothers gifted me the crystal core for my battle today.”

Ray's feelings were currently conflicted. Slyvia had helped him out in the past many times and right now he wanted to help her out but he didn't know how. The spear that Ray received from Killer was also an advanced tier weapon but even Killer wasn't able to put a scratch on Jack's body until he drunk the purple liquid increasing his Ki.

Ray knew that Slyvia didn't have a large amount of Ki, she always used her brain to fight her enemies but against an opponent like Jack that wasn't going to help her. It was the worst matchup for her.

”You're opponent Jack is strong,” Ray said. ”His body will feel like it's almost impenetrable. Although your weapon is strong it won't be enough against Jack, you must find another way.”

This was all Ray could do to help out Slyvia. Ray himself didn't know how he could be of help to her. All he could do was warn her and let her think of something.

Slyvia was surprised to find out that the person in front of her was speaking as if he had fought against Jack himself before but she thought what the man was currently saying had to be impossible. She currently had an advanced tier weapon. The only person out of all the second years to have one, it was hard for her to imagine anyone having a body strong enough body to withstand a striking from one.

For some reason though, she felt like the man standing in front of her wasn't lying.

”What's your name?” Slyvia asked.

Ray had thought about this for a while if he ever needed to use an alias. He missed his old name.

”The name is Nes.”
