Beast Evolution

'Lily on the other hand has changed, she rarely talks anymore and it's like she's angry with me' Ray thought as he laid down to sleep.

...

"Hey wake up" Ray heard voices calling him from afar.

"He really love sleep a lot", "yea I wonder how he's going to do in the knight academy".

That was the only word Ray heard that resounded in his ears "knight academy", immediately his eyes opened and he stood up like a vampire.

"Wait, is he sleep walking"

"I'm not sleep walking" Ray yawn loudly and cleared his eyes, "again you guys didn't wake me" Ray complained.

"You stood up only because we woke you, idiot" Jack said as he wore his clothes

The girls were already dressed, Ray quickly took his bath.

He was given a warrior clothes by the merchant but it was uncomfortable so he still wore ordinary clothes, Ray was not used to clothes like that, the group ate together before leaving for the knight academy.

"I hope the knight academy test don't make us fight against each other" Arya said, "I wonder what they are planning".

The walk to the arena was quick as it was morning, the street were not busy at all, the group made a stop at the adventurer guild so that Ray can collect his reward for the quest he completed.

Ray was given 1 silver coin for his quest. "Hey how many bronze coin is one silver coin" Ray asked as they arrived at the arena gate.

"Don't you know anything?" Jack said mockingly.

"I just asked a question" Ray sneered at him.

"It's 100 bronze coin for a silver coin" Arya answered him.

'wow that's nice, I wonder what I can get with it.'

The group entered the arena and were taken to a hall where the other candidate were, "woah, so many" Ray mumbled to himself.

The group took their seats as they waited for the knight to give them further instruction.

A knight with black short hair, wearing a black coat walked in front of all the students after some minutes, *clears throat*

"Hello"

"Good morning sir" all the students shouted in response while Ray was dumbfounded even his group shouted.

"Today is the day your skill will be tested to see if you can make the knight academy, this is the first time this type of entrance exam have been done, but you are in luck"

"I will now explain the rules of the exam, this year exam is a free for all battle, free for all meaning that all of you are going to battle your self in one ring."

"What", "that is absurd" the hall was filled with mumbling sounds.

"Silence" the knight in front shouted and the hall was immediately devoid of any sound, "now for the rules, you are all going to be given a wooden sword..."

"The sword has been laced with magic, and you will also be laced with magic, to pass the test, you should avoid getting hit by your opponent sword, that's all" the knight said and wanted to leave.

"Sir" a young boy shouted.

"Yes.." the knight turn his back to see who called him.

"it's a wooden sword, even if we are hit it wouldn't deal any damage, how will you pass?" the boy asked.

"The sword has been laced with magic as I said, so if your are touched with the wooden sword 3 times, you will be automatically teleported out of the arena meaning you failed..." the knight said and emphasize the failed part.

The boy who asked the question was shocked so where the other students.

"This is very unexpected" Lily said.

"Just three times, and you will be in the ring with almost two hundred people, how will you avoid getting hit, it almost impossible" Arya was angry.

"We need to stay together to watch each others back" Jack said and everyone agreed but Ray didn't said a word, they all looked at Ray and noticed that his eyes were on something else.

Ray turned his head to the left side and seating besides him was a very beautiful girl, she had silver hair with hint of black that drapes down to her shoulder onto her back.

Her golden pupils that have a hint of red were like a piece of expensive gem, she was wearing a black top and a black trousers with red linings.

Ray could feel some sort of strange aura coming from her, the girl noticed his gazed so she turned her head and looked at him in the eyes.

"What is it?" she asked with a cold tone.

"N-nothing.." Ray gulped and turned his head, he was captivated by those beautiful eyes of her, he took a deep breath to calm himself down and saw the rest of his group staring at him.

"Did you come here to look at girls or pass the knight exams" Jack said and shook his head.

"Focus, we were talking about protecting each other" Arya said, "don't worry, we wouldn't lose" Ray said and still stole a glance at the girl.

Few minutes later, Knights entered the hall with wooden swords in a box and started to distribute them, the hall was filled with almost or more than two hundred candidate, 'it's really laced with magic' Ray could feel Mana around the wooden sword.

A man with light green robe stepped in front of the candidate.

"Everyone stay still" the man said and began to mumbled some words.

"What is he doing?" Ray asked

"I don't know but he's a mage, aren't you supposed to know are you not a mag..." Ray stopped Jack midway,

"keep that to your self, we are in the knight academy" Ray whispered to him.

The man finished what he was doing and stretch his hands forward, a white light shined brightly that all the candidate had to close their eyes.

When the light faded, the mage was gone, "Okay, you are ready, and 1 more thing there are 300 candidate here, and we only need 100 students so two hundred would be disqualified before the exams will come to an end".
