Chapter 251 - The Empires backing (1/2)

Originally when Ray started his search for Van, it was a task set to him by the queen. As a favour for helping him join the academy, Ray decided he would help find out why her son was being bullied and being called a freak in school.

Then when Ray found out the Divine being had tasked this person with a great task, Ray's own personal interest was piqued. If this person was to travel with him in the future Ray wanted to know what he was like.

And finally, after seeing what happened in the academy, Ray forgot about all the reasons before. He felt like he was able to connect with Van on some level and now Ray truly wanted to help him.

”Please just leave me alone,” Van said, ”Why are you trying so hard to get involved, it's none of your business?”

”Are you really okay with people calling you names, Monster, Freak, weirdo. It might be something that will happen for your whole life.”

”Yeah… I'm fine with it, because I deserve to be called all those things.”

That's when Max pulled Ray to one side.

”Look see, he said he deserves this, case closed, now let's go.”

Ray was amazed by how different Max was compared to his sister Slyvia. She was brave strong and always used her brain, where it felt like Max was the complete opposite. Trying to get out of things as soon a possible but Max was loyal and had stuck by Ray's side through all the crazy things they did.

”Fine,” Ray said, ”If you don't want to talk about it, then I will just go talk to Blake.” Then Ray started to walk off with Max out of the room while Van looked at Ray's back.

Van clenched his fist struggling inside with what to do, why did Ray care so much about his situation in the first place?

While the two were walking down the hallway Max couldn't help but worry about what Ray was planning to do.

”Nes, You can't be serious right, you're not really going to go talk to Blake?”

”Of course not, even if I did go talk to him do you think he would just give me an answer?” Ray replied.

”Then what are you going to do?”

For that, Ray didn't have an answer.

After having a confrontation with Ray and seeing how unafraid he was. Blake had asked his friends to gather as much information as possible. In one of the open meeting rooms In the upper-class building. Blake and two of his friends were discussing the information.

Crunk held a piece of paper in his hand and started to read it out loud.

”His name is Nes Talen, he didn't attend the first year at Roland academy apparently because of a really bad illness. It also states that he had had a weak body ever since he was young.”

”Weak, sick, if you asked me it didn't look like he was sick,” Blake said.

”He is now currently roommates with Van and they also attend the same class. Also, Max heart has been seen hanging around with them a lot.”

”Anything else?” Blake asked.
