Everyone in the training ground was staring at Ray as he stood there looking at them.
"What is this idiot doing there, doesn't he know that this training ground is for the upper class"
"Maybe we should teach him some lesson"
'What's wrong with them, why are they looking at me like that, maybe I should look more intimidating'
Ray frowned his face and walked close to them, the mage there was shocked by Ray's action and a group of boys left their post and approached Ray. They stopped right In front of Ray.
"I'm looking for someone," Ray said boldly.
"Then why are you here, or is the missing person here?" the boy in middle asked.
The rest of the mage laughed and glared at Ray, they were five in number, and the boy in middle was clearly their leader.
Ray looked at him with a smile on his face, this person right here reminded him of Steve, he had short black hair with a slender body.
Looking closely Ray noticed that none of them were built up like him, he was sure they didn't go through three months of training as they did in the knight academy.
"Ray" Leia shouted.
Ray turned around and saw Gabriel and Leia walking toward them, Ray turn back and laughed.
"I guess I found them, I'm not sorry for wasting your time" Ray smirked.
"You are not sorry, look at this ugly punk," one of them said.
"Ugly... you should go look at yourself in the mirror before you say stuff like that" Ray replied.
"What..." the boy shouted.
"You are with those knights, that's why you don't know your place maybe we should teach you some lessons," the boy in middle said.
"Hi," Gabriel said as they came close to them, the boys glared at Gabriel before setting their eyes back on Ray.
"Hi beautiful, I'm Jake" the boy in middle smiled and stretch his hands forward to shake Leia.
"Hi," Leia said but before she could stretch her hand Ray already held Jake's hand.
Ray raised Jake's hand and pushed it backward making Jake stumble a little before gaining his composure.
"Ray do you know them?" Leia asked.
"I don't but they do remind me of some bullies I know," Ray said.
With this, all eyes in the training ground were on Ray.
"What is happening, did that guy just provoke an upperclassman," a boy said.
"Not any upperclassman, Jake the strongest wind user in the mage academy"
"We remind you of bullies, wow I see you have no fear, maybe the knight academy had become so soft" Jake smiled.
"If we remind you of bullies, you must be angry, should we have a go" Jake said and his group laughed.
"I'm sorry for the misunderstanding, we'll get going now," Leia said and tried to drag Ray away.
"Are you asking for a duel?" Ray said.
"Yes and I'm asking politely because of the lady," Jake said looking at Leia.
"Okay, it would be nice to get something out of my system," Ray said.
"What Ray what is wrong with you, hey Jake you can't duel with him, you are a mage what if something bad happens," Leia said.
"Don't worry, we are in the mage academy training ground, this whole training ground is covered with a spell" Jake said.
"A spell..."
"Magic can't harm anyone on the training ground, that's why we use it for training," one of the boys said.
Gabriel didn't even butt in, he just stood there silently, he was waiting for any of the mages to make an unnecessary move, two of the boys left them and walked towards their training center and removed all the training dolls to create a space in the middle.
"Really, so if I was to shoot a [Fireball] at you, nothing would happen?" Ray asked.
"Haha a Fireball, that's right, if you were to shoot a Fireball I wouldn't get burnt I would only feel the pain of getting burnt," Jake said.
'What is Ray thinking, does he want to expose himself here just because some group of boys made him angry, that's beyond stupid' Leia said inwardly.
"So what attribute do you possess?" Ray asked.
"Why do you want to know, are you scared or do you want to find a counter" Jake said.
"I'm just curious that's all"
"You will find out soon"
"Gabriel you should stop Ray, isn't this going too far" Leia whispered to Gabriel.
"I don't think Ray is going to back down and I also want to watch a battle between a Knight and a mage," Gabriel said.
"Shall we?" Jake said to Ray and pointed over to the space that was clear by the two mages earlier.
"What are they doing?" two boys whispered to themself as they watched what was happening from afar.
"What does it look like, they are going to battle, I can't watch from afar I'm going close"
"Are you mad, you want to go close to the upperclassman training ground to watch a battle you must not value your life here in the academy"
"See, people are going we should go too"
"You are right, let's join the crowd"
Ray walked towards the space in the middle, the mages there were standing still watching what was happening.
The mages were dressed in similar clothing, the only difference Ray could spot was the rank on their shoulder.
Among the students there some of them had two stars on their rank while some had three, Ray didn't know what it meant but Jake and his group all had three stars.
Ray arrived at the center of the training ground and looked around, he was surprised by the attention he was getting, the whole school was whispering about them.
"Isn't he supposed to use a weapon?" Leia asked, she and Gabriel followed Ray.
"Yes of course, he's a knight after all" Jake said.
"Are you sure you aren't going to regret your decision, I wanted to fight barehanded" Ray said making the girls around shocked.
"I really want you to use your sword, so you wouldn't complain in the medical center," Jake said.
"Medical center... hmm you guys should get your friend a bed in the medical center, he's going to need it" Ray smirked.
