Chapter 139 139 Strength

"That's right, but if you enter into a dungeon and tell Gabriel and Leia to keep watch, would they obey you or follow you into the dungeon?"

"They would follow me into the dungeon" Ray answered.

"Why"

"Because I'm not strong enough and they are worried about me"

"You are right, putting yourself in danger to save others is foolish," Authur said.

"Then...I should leave them"

"I didn't say that, you are weak, very weak, you should have known that you are weak because of the recent battle, but the next time you run away to do something on your own, make sure you are strong enough to get it done, am I understood"

"Yes Sir" Ray shouted.

"Authur what are you saying, you are giving him an open invitation to run towards any sign of danger" Alfred said.

"When he ran away during the survival training, didn't you punish him and he promised it wouldn't repeat itself again, what happened it repeated itself"

"If he likes to be a hero then so be it, run towards danger and save lives, that's what being a knight is about, but be strong enough to do it" Authur spoke.

Authur stood up to leave and the two knights followed him and they exited the room.

"Ray...are you sure going back to training is a good idea?" Leia asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, I have a plan, I'm going to kick back in no time, my hands can't stop me" Ray said.

Leia and Gabriel looked at themselves, they couldn't understand what Ray was saying, what kind of plan who he possibly have they would heal his hands.

"Do you have a healing spell that you can use on yourself?" Leia asked with hopeful eyes.

"Yes, but I don't know if it would work, but it's worth a shot" Ray answered.

"Why didn't you say so, you made us very worried, so you can still become a knight right?" Gabriel asked.

"Yes, but I would probably need more training, and I'm going to get stronger, stronger than anyone in this world" Ray said confidently.

"We are going to get stronger together" Leia said.

"And the next time we meet Draco, I would surely defeat him" Ray vowed.

'I should check my status page, there may be some changes, I should see'

Ray thought of his status page and a light blue screen appeared, but what Ray saw immediately crushed his hopes.

'Huh, my strength, Dexterity, Vitality, Health, and Stamina are reduced, never mind the rest, my strength is 5, what is happening'

'My hands, my strength is in my hands, with my transformation reducing 40% my strength is roughly 3, isn't that a love tap'

'How will I raise my strength back to 60, in just a month, and I won't participate in the knight tournament, I was looking forward to fighting upperclassmen'

"Ray we should go outside," Leia suggested.

"Outside...okay, there is no harm in walking a little" Ray smiled and stood up.

"Here" Leia used a coat to cover Ray's body.

"Why the coat, I'm fine if people see my hands, i don't mind" Ray said.

"What are you saying, it's snowing outside, that's why she's covering you up, so you don't catch a cold" Gabriel said.

"What were you thinking," Leia smiled.

"Ohh N-Nothing"

"When did it start snowing?"

"Three days ago, we were told that after Draco escaped, few minutes later it began to snow" Leia arranged the coat for Ray as she spoke.

The three of them walked out of the room, Ray followed them as he wasn't familiar with this building, but he knew there were in the mage academy.

"It's really chilly" Ray shivered slightly.

"Yeah, isn't it beautiful" Leia took a deep breath.

From where they stood Ray could see the training grounds, and the large buildings beside them.

"I didn't see this building when we first came here" Ray said.

"Right, I also didn't notice, but apparently the building was there" Gabriel said.

"What are you two talking about, when we came here I saw all the buildings, the dorms, the training grounds, the storage room, the medical center, all of it" Leia scoffed.

"What are you trying to say, we have bad eyesight, huh"

"I'm not saying it, but since you mentioned it, I think you guys have bad eyesight" Leia laughed.

"We should go over there and watch their training" Ray suggested.

"Isn't that the tamer, miss Luna" Gabriel said.

Luna was rushing somewhere when her eyes fell on Ray, she quickly changed direction and rushed towards him.

"She saw you and she coming, tell her you want one of her pets" Gabriel whispered.

"That's really a good idea" Ray whispered back.

"Huh! I was joking, besides why would she give you one of her pets, when she was the one that tamed it"

"Morning" the three of them greeted her as she came close.

"Morning, how are you feeling?" she asked Ray.

"I'm feeling better, thank you"

"I heard what you did, thank you for saving my life, I'm in your debt and I'm really sorry about your hands" Luna said.

"Oh this, no problem I'm fine"

"Fine, but I heard you wouldn't be able to battle again, I'm really sorry about that" Luna apologized.

"This is nothing, I would train harder and become stronger" Ray said.

"Train harder, I thought your hands were... nevermind, I wish you luck" Luna said.
