Chapter 355 - Leaving again (2/2)

So Jack looked more like a normal civilian with bulging muscles.

”Jack!” Harry said. ”I promise the next time you see me, I will be a new person.” Jack gave a big old bear hug to Harry before leaving. Squeezing him tightly to the point where he thought one of his ribs had broken.

”Sylvia, I heard Ray came to your room late last night.” Martha whispered, ”Looks like someone grew up.”

Sylvia started to think back to last night about how Ray' words had made her feel and a smile appeared on her face. Martha seeing this took it as a sign that what she hinted at must have been the truth.

”looks like I hit the nail on the head.”

Then Slyvia had realised her mistake. ”No, you got it all wrong,” she said fl.u.s.tered.

Martha knew Ray was incredibly dense, it was like he was mature for his age but at the same time wasn't. Still, she couldn't help but tease Martha at every oputuinty she had.

The sound of footsteps and squeaky wheels turning could be heard and as they turned, they could see that the carriage had arrived.

Jack got on first and Ray looked at the others before getting on himself. ”Cure the area of the shadow, be careful of the beasting process, make sure the city continues to grow, and let me know if you need help.” With those few words, the door shut and the carriage was off.

”Was that his way of saying goodbye?” Said Bliss. ”Looks like he might really need to work on his people skills

”Short, sweet and straight to the point, how a leader should be.” van replied hoping to one day be half the man that Ray currently was.

Van had his own goals while Ray was away, thanks to the piece of Divine crystal that had been given to him, he could now use his powers without being detected by the Shadow.

For all these years he wasn't able to practice using his magic powers properly. For fear of who else might get dragged in, but now he had a chance.

Just as the group were about to head back into the academy, they noticed that a hooded person with high quality materials had a bag on her back, and he was walking towards the academy.

The members found it odd and readied themselves to be ready for a fight any moment.

It was strange because usually only students and other knights approached the academy. The city folk had no reason to be in this area.

So they could only suspect someone who was covered to be the ememy.

As she removed the hood of her face, her long black shiny hair came into view and a beautiful face was seen.

”I'm here to see my baby boy.” The female said.

”Baby boy? Martha repeated, finding it odd the choice of words she had used.

” Yes, he's my little ray of sunshine. Ray Talen.” She answered.
