Chapter 155 155 Sleep

'My strength increased, I wonder why...I should be happy, but the senior knights are making me uncomfortable' Ray glanced toward Leia and Gabriel.

Gabriel and Leia were also stealing glances at Ray wondering when the senior knights would question him, but the knights didn't speak.

Authur and Alfred sat down with their eyes closed, James entered the carriage as soon as he finished discussing with the guild leader and the carriage began to move.

"We're going back to the capital, we can't continue to the academy" James told them.

"Okay Sir" they replied.

'I wonder what the senior knights would say, they may stop me from continuing the knight academy, or they won't stop me, all I know is that this is going to be a long day' Ray sighed and closed his eyes.

He wasn't sleepy but he couldn't open his eyes and look at the knights, all this while he had lied to them about everything.

'Ray is a mage, why didn't I think of that, that's why he's always rushing into trouble because he's a mage, but still he's an excellent knight'

'Mages don't usually train their bodies, Instead they train their spells and increase their Mana pool, but Ray became a knight, there must be a reason he became a knight, and I'm going to find out' Authur said inwardly.

The journey back to the capital was smooth, the group wasn't attacked by any beast on the way, and finally they arrived at the city gate.

All of them were required to come down even after seeing the leader of the guild, the three senior knights came down and the guards were surprised.

"I thought you guys left for the academy," the senior guard asked.

"We were attacked on the way, an entire village was wiped out" James spoke.

"What!! by infected beasts?"

"A high level beast," James said.

"That's surprising, I thought they rarely leave their dungeon...but you guys defeated it"

"Yes, but the village was burnt down, so we came to report back"

"Okay, let them pass" the senior guard shouted.

It was already night time, so the adventurers went straight to their house, the guild leader had a huge house in Avalon so they all went there, while the senior knights and the students continued to the knight academy.

The knights were quickly received back to the knight academy, some knights were sent to report what happened to the authorities so they can discuss it tomorrow.

Ray, Leia, and Gabriel were shown to the room where they would spend the night, the room was spacious with a total of four beds that were arranged side by side.

Leia slumped into one of the beds and sighed heavily.

"Today was the worst," Leia said.

"A high level beast is too powerful, I knew they were powerful but seeing it with my eyes was different" Gabriel said.

"That's the least of my problems" Ray spoke and sat on one of the beds.

"I wonder if they would allow me to continue the knight academy, I really like it there"

"Why won't they, you are a promising knight, just because you are also a mage doesn't change anything, if it wasn't for you, we would have been dead," Leia said.

"The senior knights would question you, just tell them that you didn't want people to know and you wanted to be a knight, that's all" Gabriel added.

"My hands are not yet healed, what if they force me to attend the mage academy because of my hands," Ray said.

"You are right, but I'm not sure the knights would force you to do what you don't want to," Gabriel said.

The door opened and James and Authur stepped in, the three of them quickly stood up, Ray already expected this but he still wasn't ready.

"We just came to check on you, you guys should make yourselves comfortable, we would leave in two days," James told them

"Because we have things to take care of you may not see us tomorrow, but feel free to roam around and there is a training ground here, you may meet any of the knights," Authur said.

"Okay Sir" they replied.

Authur and James left and closed the door behind them, before they wanted to question Ray but they decided to leave it and face the problem at hand.

"I thought they came to scold me, my heart is still racing," Ray said.

"I wonder what they are thinking, but first sleep"

"All you think about is sleep, I'm going to take a shower," Leia said.

"I'm really tired but still I'm also going to take a shower, maybe we should take a shower together," Ray said.

"W-What...w-why would we take a shower together, are you mad, why would you think that" Leia stuttered as she spoke.

"I'm just joking" Ray smiled.

'A joke, how would he joke with something like that, why am I thinking about the two of us showering together' Leia shook her head immediately.

"Leia is something wrong, your cheeks are getting red," Ray said.

"What, why would my cheeks be red, I'm fine" Leia used her hands to cover her cheeks and quickly ran outside of the room.

"Why is she going outside, there is a bathroom right here"

"I don't know, do you want to take a bath first or should I go first?" Gabriel asked Ray.

"I would go first" Ray stood up from the bed and began to remove his clothes.

The door opened and a knight came in, he brought a change of clothes for the two of them and left.

Ray and Gabriel took turns and bath before going to sleep, Leia later came inside the room wearing a new clothes, she had also taken her bath.

"Guys why do you think Draco is attacking Avalon?" Leia asked.

"I don't know either, maybe he has a grudge or he's working for another kingdom," Gabriel said.

"If he's working for another kingdom, why would they attack Avalon, I don't think he's working for another kingdom," Leia said.

"Ray are you asleep?" Gabriel looked towards his bed.

Ray was already asleep, he was tired from all the fighting, and the moment he laid down he fell asleep immediately.

...

"I'm not sure they would arrive today" Arya said.

"Do you think something happened to them" Lily said.

Best

"I don't think anything happened to them, they are senior knights of Avalon, nothing can happen to them" Martha told Lily.

"I'm really worried, maybe something happened to them"

"Lily you are stressing yourself, when we were coming to the academy, we left in the morning and arrived the next morning, maybe they are still on the way" Crystal said.

"That's true, so by tomorrow they would have arrived"

"Yes, now let's all close our eyes and go to sleep" Crystal said and faced away.

"Crystal all you think about is sleep"

"Apart from sleep what else can you do at night, or do you want me to bring a boy over"

"W-What...what would you do with the boy?" Martha said.

"I would do what your mind is thinking..." Crystal laughed.

"How do you know what my mind is thinking, I'm a good girl, I don't think about boys" Martha said.

"Who said anything about lewd thought, I wanted to bring a boy over and train with him, you thought I wanted to sleep with him"

"Have any of you ever slept with a boy?" Martha asked.

"Huh! I didn't know you were so lewd, but I've never slept with a boy" Arya said.

"Me neither" Lily said and the three of them faced Crystal.

"Why are you all staring at me, I've only done it once"

"What! so you have slept with a boy"

"Wow"

"How was it?" Martha said.

"I don't know, it was normal, a little painful at first" Crystal said.

"Who was the boy, is he in the knight academy?"

"No, even if he is, I wouldn't tell you guys, besides Lily when would you have sex with Ray"

"W-What, why would I...have sex... I'm not ready" Lily said.

"Ohh, I'm just saying, you know boys, but maybe Ray is not like that" Crystal said.

"He's not like other boys, I'm going to sleep" Lily quickly faced away.

"I'm also going to sleep,"

"The training Sir Jake had us undergo is really hard, I can't seem to get it" Arya said.
