BXBX NOVEL Chapter 190 190 Extra Training
After a while both of them were left alone In the room, they looked at themselves with bloodshot eyes ready to tear each other apart.
"What are you?" the boy asked.
"What do you think" Ray snorted.
"Yesterday, your body was covered by something, are you infected?"
"Have you ever seen an infected human?" Ray sneered at him.
"Then what was that yesterday, what was the shadow that covered your body,"
"Were you scared, were you scared of a mere first-year student..." Ray teased.
"Why would I be afraid of you, I\'m a hundred times stronger than you, if all of this is over we should duel" the boy declared.
"That\'s a nice idea, but one thing you need to know about me, you should be afraid of me... I\'m not a normal first-year student" Ray smirked.
The boy looked around and stretched his head close to Ray, "What are you?"
"Even I don\'t know, yesterday was also surprising for me, I\'ve never seen those black shadows that enveloped me, I was also shocked" Ray snickered as he spoke.
"I know you are joking with me"
"Why did you guys pick on me yesterday, you were lucky I was tired...I would have carved you guys" Ray frowned his face.
"You are really strange, normally all first-year students are supposed to be terrified of upperclassmen...you are confident I\'ll give you that, but you can\'t beat me in a duel, you should know better," the boy said.
"Maybe...or maybe not" Ray smiled.
"What\'s your name?"
"I\'m Ray, what about you"
"I\'m Matt"
The door to the room opened and the other two boys from last night stepped into the room, there were surprised after seeing Ray and their friend talking.
"You guys escaped last night right, I would have knocked you guys out" Ray spoke making both of them angry.
"You are still disrespectful, you should learn your place" one of them shouted.
"I give respect to only those that earned it, you guys are bullies, I have no respect for bullies" Ray sneered.
"Looks like you need a beating, we\'ll wait till you leave here, then you would spend the rest of your days in regret," the boy said with a smirk on his face.
"Really, I\'m sure the senior knights would allow that, maybe I should report you guys for picking on me," Ray said.
"Do you think the senior knights would believe what you say, you punk"
"Really, last night a dark shadow covered my entire body and the knights placed me in the medical center, isn\'t that strange, why do you think that is, if this happens to you where do you think you would be..."
"What are you trying to say"
"The senior knights know about me, they know about my powers, what do you think would happen if I tell them that you guys assaulted me?" Ray asked.
"You punk, do that and the till the day we graduate we would torment you every single day" the boy spoke with a hoarse voice.
"So you think I\'m afraid of you," Ray scoffed.
"You guys should stop it" Matt spoke.
"What do you mean the knights know about your power, what power?" Matt asked Ray.
"Sorry I misspoke, I don\'t have powers," Ray said.
"Then what was that darkness that covered you, are you a mage, that looked like dark magic," one of the boys said.
Before Ray could speak the door opened and Alfred walked in, he had a look on his face that tell everyone he was angry, the boys stepped back a little while Ray and Matt stood up from their beds.
Alfred looked at all of them and sighed weakly before speaking, "I don\'t want to hear what caused last night\'s conflict, and I don\'t want it to repeat itself, am I clear"
"Yes Sir" all of them answered.
"I\'m not supposed to tell you guys to keep it a secret right..."
"Yes Sir"
"I was told you are fine now, you can go back to your dorms, and Ray wait behind" Alfred spoke before walking outside.
The boy looked at themselves before looking at Ray, he wasn\'t lying when he said the knights would believe what he said, the boys left the room leaving Ray alone.
After a while, Selena walked in and found Ray doing situps on the ground.
"I don\'t think you should be training" Selena spoke and Ray looked up.
"Good morning" Ray greeted her.
"Morning, are you supposed to be training?"
"My hands are still not up to shape, speaking of my hands do you have any powerful healing spells?"
"If you want me to heal your hands, I can\'t. You aren\'t supposed to be using them,"
"I just need more training"
"What happened last night, you would have died if I wasn\'t around" Selena spoke in a serious tone.
"I don\'t know what happened, I got angry and then next thing I know, my body had been covered with a [Dark cloak], then I tried to heal the other boy then the cloak began to cover my head then I couldn\'t breathe, that\'s all I can remember" Ray explained.
"You tried to heal...do you know any healing spells?" Selena asked.
"Yes, only one"
\'What is this...how would a dark mage have healing spells\' Selena wondered.
"Why didn\'t you try healing your hands?"
"Ohh I tried, it only heals wounds and injuries, it didn\'t work on my hands" Ray sighed weakly.
"So you don\'t know how or when he cast the [Dark cloak], but you studied the magic circle right?"
"Yes...but I didn\'t try to cast the spell, it just happened"
"Tell me what really happened, I need to know what triggered the spell," Selena said.
"When we were done with training and you told me to go back, those upperclassmen stopped me and we got into a fight, they were stronger so they knocked me down"
"Then my mind went back to the magic circle and I stood up, my memory is still a little fuzzy from there but I remember chasing the upperclassmen, and then I got Matt"
"He punched me but I didn\'t feel a thing, then I punched him and he fainted, so I tried to heal him, that was when I also passed out" Ray explained.
"So can you cast the spell again?"
"I don\'t think so"
"Why, do you still remember the drawing of the magic circle?" Selena asked him.
"Yes...partially"
"All your classmates are already in training, do you want to join them or we should train," Selena said with a smile.
\'I need to learn that spell, it would be a good defensive spell when fighting high-level beasts, I have lots of time to train with my spear so I would use this time to learn a new spell\'
"We should train..." Ray said hoarsely.

Ray and Selena had left the medical center, both of them were currently in their confined training ground.
"First try to draw the magic circle on the ground"
"I should draw it on the ground... but yesterday you could draw on the air," Ray said.
"You haven\'t learned to manipulate darkness so you can\'t draw the magic circle"
Ray used his hands to draw a smaller version of the magic circle he saw yesterday, Selena nodded her head telling him he was doing a good job.
"I\'m done" Ray spoke as he finished drawing.
"Wrong, you got it all wrong"
"Huh! but this is exactly what I saw yesterday," Ray said with disappointment in his voice.
Selena raised her hands and a magic circle was drawn, she looked towards Ray and told him to compare both of them.
"Okay, yeah I see the mistake now, there\'s supposed to be a line, here and here, then I need to erase here and here and done, right," Ray said as he looked up again.
