Chapter 249 - Upper classmen trouble (1/2)

Ray continued to chase after Van through the crowds of people and the streets of Roland academy and it was only attracting the eyes of more and more people witnessing the chase between the two.

”What the hell?” Ray thought ”Why is this guy so fast, I'm actually trying to catch up to him but the distance isn't' closing.”

Ray was currently using Ki to enhance the speed in his legs but he wasn't giving it his all. He didn't want to stand out too much from the students watching.

”All right then, I'll just have to use a bit more.”

As Ray increased the amount of Ki so did his speed and when he got closer, he reached his hand out to touch Van's shoulder, but as Van turned around and saw Ray catching up, Van once again increased his speed.

However, while Van was running, he still held the fruit basket that he had received as a gift from the principal.

The increase in speed caused an apple to fall out of the basket and hit Ray right in the face exploding on impact.

That's when Van suddenly stopped.

”Oh, I'm sorry I didn't mean to.”

”Sorry!” Ray said, ”Don't use that word unless you mean it, just why are you running away from me in the first place?”

”Well you started running after me, so I naturally started running away. ”

”What? That makes no sense, you were the one who started running first.”

As Van was speaking, he started to look around, he noticed that they were now near the upper-class tier buildings. That's when he spotted three students sitting next to each other on a nearby bench and one of them was Blake.

”Hey what the hell, are you even listening!” Ray shouted.

But as Ray's voice was raised the upperclassmen who had been busy chatting away suddenly looked up to see what was going on and that's when Blake had spotted Van.

”Anyway.” Ray said, ”I need to ask you a few things/”

But as soon as Ray took a step forward, Van's face suddenly dropped with fear.

”Don't come!” Van shouted.

Ray was a bit shocked at this reaction. So far Van had been avoiding him but never reacted like he was scared or frightened.

”Please just don't come close to me,” Van said

Instead of listening to Van's words though, Ray decided to continue to walk forward.

”Do you really think I will listen to you just because you said so.” Now Ray stood directly in front of Van. ”Now what are you going to do?”

Just then Ray could now also be seen by the upperclassmen who were keeping an eye on Van. That's when Blake spotted Ray, although they had met once before with Max. Blake didn't really pay much attention and had already forgotten about him.

”Hey who's the kid?” Blake asked.

Ray had then stepped back away from Van to ease up the pressure a little.
