Chapter 322 - A Distraction (1/2)

After hearing Ray's intention, the student's mouths were left wide open. Perhaps they would have understood more if he thought Blake had lost his powers like before. But everyone had just witnessed only a few matches ago, how Blake had beaten his opponent with ease and almost killed him.

'What are you doing?' Mia thought.

The plan was to cause a big distraction not to have everyone's attention focused on him like this. She also didn't understand why was there the need to pick Blake. Mia didn't know how powerful this Nes person was from the Redwings. But she found it hard to believe he would be able to defeat the number one student in school, especially under the guidance of a tower master.

Once again, Mia tried to communicate with Ray telling him to stop, but this time when Ray received the message from the system, he blocked it.

'How, how is he able to stop my communication form going through to him.'

Out from his seat, Dez had stood up a little offended.

”Don't you think you're being too c.o.c.ky boy?” Dez said, ”Not only are you part of the lower class and selected an upper-class student but the strongest one in this whole school.”

Although it may have seemed strange for a tower master to call his own student the strongest, it just made everyone else in the stand realise how confident Dez must have been in teaching him.

Ray smiled at Dez. ”Was I talking to you, if you don't have anything useful to say, then shut your mouth.”

”Ho, ho!” Roy shouted, ”I kind of like this kid.”

A large vein could be seen sprouting on top of Dez's head. If no one was around, he would have secretly poisoned the student by now. Used something that was untraceable.

”Fine, if you wish to be humiliated then go ahead, Blake, take him out,” Dez shouted up at the stands.

Blake did as asked and walked down to the centre of the field. To be honest, even Blake didn't like Nes's c.o.c.ky attitude. He remembered when the two had first met, and he had protected Van. And for some reason, he reminded him of someone else.

”Hey, do you really think Nes is going to be okay?” Norah asked.

”I'm not sure, he's the only one out of the lower class to challenge an upper-class student,” Bliss said. ”If it was one of the others I might have said yes, but I'm afraid Blake is just too powerful.”

”Ha, Ha,” Just then a laugh could be heard coming from one of their group members. As they turned to look at who it was, they could see it was Max covering his mouth.

Of course, Max was the only one who knew who Nes really was. ”Guys relax, I think we're in for a good show.”

The others looking at Max thought he was crazy. They just couldn't understand where all his confidence was coming from.

Back on the field, the two students were now stood opposite each other. Mia was on the ground as the judge and couldn't stop looking at Ray.

'Just what are you thinking, do you have a personal grudge or something, if so your mission should take priority. I guess this is what happens when they put a kid on an important mission.'

Ray really did have a grudge against Blake, and it wasn't just for all the stuff he had done to Dan. Ray was holding back every time he saw Blake. He was most likely the whole reason why the Redwings were going through everything.
