Chapter 105 - Thats my Job (1/2)

The atmosphere of the remaining contestants was anxious and nervous, yet Kyle seemed to be excited when his match was announced. He happily rushed forward towards the stage.

”Do you know what's up with the guy?” Martha asked.

Monk was just shaking his head staring down at the ground, he was ashamed to know someone like Kyle.

”Kyle always gets like this when he sees a pretty girl.”

As Kyle stepped on to the stage, he started to shower Nay with compliments.

”That dress and whip is the perfect combination to your slender moving body. My chain and your whip could be the perfect couple item!”

But Nay had heard it all before. She had been asked out by many of the third years but turned them all down.

”If you truly wish to impress me, then prove that you are stronger than me.”

Nay wanted a strong man but out of the third-year students, none had met her criteria so far. Jack was the strongest student by far but his idiocy was a big turn off for her. Killer who was ranked second was always silent and never to be seen, so it left him out of the equation. And being ranked fifth out of all the third years, the rest above her were female.

As the fight was about to start, Ray started to walk away.

”Aren't you going to stay and watch the fight?” Martha asked.

”There's no need. I already know who is going to win.”

Ray continued to walk off and started to make his way to the medical bay.

The others thought Ray was being a bit harsh. Even if their teammate was going to lose, the least he could do was stay and support him.

Ray had finally reached the medical Bay and saw Slyvia lying down on the ground. She had already been treated by the doctors and there wasn't much they could do apart from suggesting that Slyvia get some good rest.

Ray approached Slyvia and sat down next to her. Slyvia immediately covered her face with her arm as soon as she saw Ray. But that still didn't stop Ray from seeing the tears roll down her face.

”I'm sorry Ray, even after you helped me…” Slyvia said as she cried.

Ray wasn't good in situations like this. He had decided to come to see Slyvia so he could take his mana back but now was clearly not a good time.

”Ray, will I ever get stronger?”

”Slyvia, you were amazing. No one watching would have said differently. You just happened to go up against a monster.”

”But that's not an excuse. What would happen if we were to meet a strong magical beast out in the wild? It's fine saying that now, but what would I do if I couldn't protect everyone?”

Ray knew what it was like to want to protect everyone around him and fail. He did with his entire race. He was more powerful than his fellow dragons and he had wanted to protect them, but he failed.
