Chapter 299 - I want you (2/2)

After finishing his task, he no longer had anything to discuss with the group so he decided to go relax and lie down on Noir. The people who had gathered around Noir quickly left as soon as they saw Ray come over.

Although they were grateful to have someone strong and powerful on their side, they were scared. Perhaps if they had a fighting chance it would be different but it felt like they didn't even have that if they were to go against Ray.

As Ray laid on Noir, he would constantly open one of his eyes all the time to look at a certain person.

But this strange action didn't go unnoticed by the others either.

”Hey Bliss, that boy keeps on looking at you,” Norah said.

”Yeah I know, I don't know why but I have the strangest feeling I've met him before.”

”Do you think he likes you?” Norah had an innocent smile on her face. With her short frame, it looked as if a little kid was all giggly and excited.

”Don't you remember what Max said, he's already taken by his sister.”

”So are you saying if he wasn't you would try going for him?”

Bliss face was now bright red, she turned away from Norah and started to storm off.

”Wait I was only messing around.”

”That woman, why does she have to look like the witch so much.” Ray said, ”I think I'm going crazy staying at this academy. Once this is all over, I just need to find the divine being and get out of here.”

Just then, Noir started to growl.

”What's wrong girl?”

She then stood up and growled in a certain direction of the forest.

A figure had appeared from behind the trees and out of the shadow. He looked like a hooded mage dressed in a black robe and in his hand was a long staff with a crystal at the end.

As he exited the forest, he walked to the edge of the village just outside where the houses were.

”How has an old man been able to survive in this place for so long?”

The old man stopped just at the edge of the village and started to scout and look at the people around him, until he finally pointed his staff at a single student.

”You come with me, if you want the rest to live.” The old man said.

The student he pointed at was Van.
