Chapter 344 - New White sashes (1/2)

After the meeting had finished, Jack had decided to go over to the white sash knight area to meet his old friend Harry. The white sash knights mainly trained just outside in the training area attached to the academy.

When Jack had finally arrived, he could see all of the students training outside diligently. On each of them around their wrists, they had the watches on indicating their rank. They were currently going through there daily spar where whoever won, would switch places with the other in the ranking system.

A soon as Harry heard giant footsteps clomping up behind him, he thought there could only be one person who was so unsilent when trying to sneak up on people.

He turned around and said. ”It's been a while, dear friend.”

”Yes, it has,” Jack replied as the two of them bumped knuckles.

They both had a lot to catch up on as the last time they had seen each other was just before Jack had set off to journey with Ray and Gary. In that time, Harry had been promoted to master knight as well as head of the white shashes.

Jack also talked about everything that happened on his journey as well. What him and Ray had gone through during this time as well as all the troubles. Jack then explained the beasting process that Martha went through, and Harry was surprised.

”And she's really gotten that much stronger!” Harry said.

”Yes, it's like she's a completely new person, one that can probably now compete against me.”

Hearing that Jack now acknowledged Martha as someone worthy, meant she must have had an enormous improvement. Before Jack had never said any great things about her.

”Is it possible for me to go through this process?” Harry asked.

”I thought you would ask that,” Jack replied. ”It was why I didn't want to really tell you in the first place. In the end, it's your decision but why, why do you need to get stronger Harry?”

Harry thought about the past, how not only his mother but his brother had been killed, and it was all because of the Shadow. He was even forced to kill his own father, who was the main cause of everything.

Yet he still felt empty inside. He knew his father had done so many bad things, sent so many people to their deaths and sometimes even he had played a part without realising it as well.

He needed to make up for it. This was his resolve.

”From the sounds of it, I think whatever my father was involved in, his research, it was most likely something to do with this as well. Maybe they were trying to do the same process but failed. I need to find out the truth, and it's still out there somewhere.”

Just then, the kids had finished sparing and directly went to line up in front of Harry. However, this time they couldn't help but stare at the man who was standing by his side. The large man with bulging muscles known as Jack.

Harry looked at the students and then looked at Jack, seeing they were interested in him.

”Alright, guys we have a special extra lesson for all of you today!” Harry said. ”This here is the former Rank 1 of Avrion academy.”

”What, really, so he was a white knight just like us?”

”Of course, everybody knows the white knights are the most skilled and talented in the academy.”

The thirty or so students were proud to see someone so strong and mighty be their former rank 1. They started to look Jack with a sparkle in their eye.
