Chapter 140 140 The Truth

"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 smiled and walked away.

"What about your wolf, ehnn...your unique summoning, is it okay?" Ray asked.

"Oh, he is fine" Luna said.

"U-Unique summoning...what is that?" Gabriel asked in a low voice.

"The battle between the tamer and Draco, the tamer summoned one of her pets, the battle was crazy" Ray said in excitement.

Best

"Tell me about it" Gabriel told Ray immediately.

"Why do you want to hear about it, it didn't end in her favour" Leia said.

"It wasn't her fault, she could have won against Draco but the spell she used could only last for some time"

"Which spell is that?"

"She turned into a werewolf..."

"Huh! what rubbish are you saying, the tamer turned into a werewolf?" both of them were surprised.

"I'm telling the truth, why would I lie to you guys, the tamer summoned her unique wolf and both of them turned into werewolves"

"How is that possible..."

"The first year mages are coming out, are they planning to train under the snow"

"Maybe, there is an instructor behind them I think they are planning to train" Leia said.

"We should watch them, I want to see new spells" Ray said.

"I want to ask you something..."

"Huh, ask me what, is something wrong" Ray asked Leia.

"Later... let's watch the mages for now" Leia smiled as the three of them went closer to the first year training ground.

The third year and second year students were all in their dorms, only the first year were outside in front of an old beared mage with a staff.

"Is that all the first year students, they were much when I saw them before" Ray said.

"I don't think it's all of them, maybe it's an element training" Gabriel said.

"Element training, maybe it's water cause it's snowy"

"The instructor spotted us, I think he coming towards us, he's actually coming towards us" Ray whispered.

"Morning Sir" the three of them greeted.

"Morning, how are you feeling" the man asked Ray.

"I'm fine sir, thank you for asking" Ray replied politely.

"What you did was truly brave...but also foolish, instead of running towards an enemy you can't defeat, you should wait for backup or stall for time, but in your case you should have waited for backup" the mage said.

"I'm very sorry" Ray apologized.

"You don't need to apologize, I'm Eric by the way, did you come here to watch us train?" the mage asked.

"Yes Sir" they all answered.

"Ohh okay, you can come closer if you want" Eric said and head back to the training ground.

Eric had black long hair and beards to match, to Ray he looked like he was in his late thirties but Ray knew looks can deceive.

Eric held a long staff with a curved top, he looked just like a wizard in a fantasy comic expect he wasn't wearing a robe or a pointy cap.

There were a total of 30 first year mages outside, each of them were shivering in the cold snowy weather, the mages looked at Ray and whispered to each other, it seems what he did had spread around the academy.

"Okay, we are going to start with warm up, each one of you would come forward and shoot shot a fireball" Eric shouted.

"They all have fire attribute, how are they going to train in this snowy weather, wouldn't that hinder their training" Leia said.

"You are right, fire wouldn't have any effect" Gabriel added.

"That's why they are doing it" Ray said.

"So they want the snow to hinder them, hmm I see," Gabriel shook his head.

"What do you see... even though your brother is a mage you know nothing about magic," Leia said.

"They are starting"

The first boy walked to the front of the group and faced an empty space, he was shivering as he tried to cast the spell.

The boy stretch his hands forward and shot a fireball towards an empty space, the fireball was the smallest fireball Ray had ever seen.

It travelled a few meters before vanishing into the air, Ray burst into laughter from where he was standing making all the mages to turn around.

"Ray, what are you doing stop laughing" Gabriel told him.

"W-What was that, is that a fireball, hahaha"

"I'm very sorry" Leia apologized to them.

Ray sealed his lips together but he still couldn't stop laughing so he turned around and faced the other way so they wouldn't see him.

"Ray snap out of it, what's wrong with you" Leia shouted.

"I'm sorry, it's just that I've never seen a fireball like that"

"It's not only him," Gabriel said making the two of them to look.

The next boy that came also shot a weak fireball, weaker than the first one. The snow was causing it, the cold was interfering with their spell.

The mages continued their training while Ray, Leia and Gabriel returned back to the medical center, why... Ray was hungry again.

"Ray, I wanted to say something to you before, but... please tell us the truth" Leia said.

"What is it"

"What is special about you that you can't tell us, back then Draco said something"

'Shit, this is bad what am I going to say, I can't tell them I'm a beast, they wouldn't even believe me'

"If you can't tell us it's fine, just say so but don't make something up cause I know you are good at that"

"Can I trust you guys?" Ray asked.

"Why not, we are friends, we train together, dine together, laugh together, fight together, and you still don't trust us"

"It's not that, the truth is that, I'm not..."
