Chapter 245 - Making a friend (1/2)

The morning sun had arrived and it was time for Ray to get ready for his classes. As he woke up and looked around him, he felt unfamiliar with the room. Roland was clearly a place of luxury with top of the line furniture everywhere. It was something Ray couldn't get used to living his whole human life in a village and then at Avrion.

It was the morning rush so most students got out at the same time in the morning to grab some food at the canteen. Van was still lying there in his sleep, so Ray decided to go out on his own. As he closed the room's door behind him and looked up.

He noticed that everyone was looking at him. If it wasn't because of Ray's super hearing he would have thought it was just because he was the new kid but it wasn't.

”Hey did he just come out of that room?”

”Does that mean he's sharing a room with the freak?”

”What terrible luck.”

The situation was worse than Ray thought. For the students to act like this just because he was sharing a room with a student. As Ray walked throughout the school it seemed like nearly all the students were already talking about it. The news had spread around fast.

While walking down the hallway. Max suddenly spotted Ray and pulled him away from everyone and headed to one of the empty storage rooms where no one could hear or see what the two of them were talking about.

”Hey Nes, I heard that you're sharing rooms with Van, is it true?” Max asked.

”Yeah, what's so wrong about that?”

Max's face suddenly dropped.

”This is bad, maybe I should have explained to you yesterday, you have to change your room, if the upper clansmen find out you're associated with Van, they will target you as well. ”

”For such a petty reason like that, if they want to come to attack me for a reason like that, then so be it,” Ray replied.

Again, Max's face was beginning to look like a ghost. He was trying his best to explain to Ray but it looked like Ray was unafraid. Max could only assume it was because he was new at the academy. He didn't know how scary these people were.

”Look, let me explain…” As Max was about to say something, he suddenly stopped midsentence as he saw a shadow standing behind Ray just behind a pile of boxes.

”Ahh!” Max cried like a little girl.

As the person stepped forward, they noticed who it was. It was Van, he had been in the storage room with them the whole time while the two of them were discussing things.

”What the, he was here the whole time?” Ray thought.

It was quite difficult for Ray to sense things these days. He realised that he had become too reliant on his dragon eyes to tell him where and if people were somewhere. But now he didn't have the dragon eyes anymore it was like he had lost another sense of his.

As Van moved from the pile of boxes, he continued to walk towards the door without saying a word to the two of them.
