Chapter 323 - Not the Real Ray (2/2)

”What are they doing with Van?” She thought. ”No It can't be, is the tower master and Nes actually working for the Shadow.”

She seemed to have remembered that the old man Wiz had said multiple times that he was after Van and yet, here she was seeing him being taken away again.

Although she couldn't be a hundred percent sure and didn't want to alarm anyone, so she decided to secretly follow the two from a safe distance behind.

”You know we're being followed by your friend, right?” Mia said.

Ray nodded once again.

”Do you want me to do something, get rid of her?”

Ray shook his head this time, indicating he did not.

”I guess it's your call.”

Back on the open field, Roy had only just gotten the flames to settle, but in the centre of the field, where Ray and Blake were fighting, it was nearly impossible to see anything.

Just as the fireball had hit the ground, Ray had landed as well. To make it harder for the others to see, he activated his ice attribute while using his fire in his other hand to create thick mist over the centre.

Then finally, when the mist started to settle down, they began to see two figures. The first thing the students saw was the tower master Dez knelt down on one knee as if he had been severely injured.

��Was the fire from Nes too strong for him!” The students thought.

But the next thing was even bigger news for them. All of the mist had now disappeared and holding on to Blake in the air with a single hand, was Ray.

While most of the students had never seen Blake look so weak before, the students of Del's class had seen this exact seen somewhere else before. In the shadow continent, the Redwing member known as Ray had done this exact thing.

”You know, you just had to do it, didn't you?” Ray asked.

”Do what?” Blake cried as he struggled, kicking his legs into the air.

”Did you have anything to do with the empire starting a war with the group known as the Redwings?”

In a monotone voice as if Blake was under a spell he replied.

”I sent a letter to my father, who is head of the magic division in the empire. I told them everything that the Red-headed man said that day about not being afraid of the empire. My father sent me a message back, saying they will be dealt with.”

The colour returned to Blake's eyes.

”Let go of me, if you don't, do you know what will happen?”

”I didn't have any poison powers before, so I thank you for giving me two wonderful gifts.”

”Nes put the student down right now!” Betty shouted.

As Ray looked around, the three-tower masters had him surrounded.
