Chapter 101 - Protective (2/2)

”That's because Ray had a lot on his mind at the moment.”

Mathew then put out his hand to shake Ray's. Ray looked at it for a while and then accepted the handshake.

”I will trust you to look after my sister.”

Slyvia's face started to turn bright red.

”What does that mean? I can look after myself,” Slyvia replied.

”Slyvia is a good leader,” Ray said.

The four brothers were stunned by the first words that had come out of Ray's mouth and started to laugh.

Ray could tell when shaking hands with Mathew that he was strong. Ray was actually very tempted to use mana steal. It was the first time he had been this close to a mage and a powerful one at that. He couldn't begin to imagine how much mana the person in front of him had.

”Well Ray, you better win your fight today,” Max said. ”Then we can see each other again in the all kingdom tournament, I'll be part of the Roland Academy team.”

Ray's ears perked up slightly. One of Slyvia's brothers went to Roland academy?

”Sorry did you say you went to Roland? did you happen to know a female student that passed away recently by the name of Amy?

”I'm sorry, Roland is a big school, I'm not sure I have,” Max replied.

Although Max was trying his best to act normal and put on a brave face, Ray could tell that his attitude and feelings had changed once he had asked the question. Max was clearly hiding something.

”Why don't you two start getting ready for the tournament,” Mathew recommended. ”It will be starting any moment now.”

With introductions over, Slyvia and Ray walked off to sit next to Gary and the others who were on their own.

Mathew turned and looked over at Max.

”What are you hiding Max? You need to tell me everything about this Amy girl he asked for.”

”Yes, brother,” Max replied.

Then Jake approached by Mathew's side and whispered.

”What do you think of him?”

”The boy's eyes were fierce; he wasn't scared of us at all. In fact, he was almost looking at us like we were some sort of food. The boy is strong but dangerous as well.”

”Should we get rid of him?”

”No, leave him for now and let's just see what happens.”
