Chapter 299 - I want you
As soon as Ray had stepped into the magic teleportation circle, a strange message had appeared.
Ray thought there might be a chance for him to use the crystal the divine being had given him but instead it asked for his super tier crystal. This was the only one in Ray's possession that he had obtained a long time ago.
When he took the sash test back at Avrion, there was a test that asked him to wield the legendary sword and see how much power he could activate from it. But when he wielded the thing, the sword didn't activate but instead asked him if he wanted to take the super tier crystal and he did.
He had always kept it on him thinking when he needed to use it, it would give him a head start in his evolution. He couldn't take it out of his system like the other crystals. As soon as it left his hand it would disappear. But if the system was offering for it to be used by the magic circle, Ray assumed it meant it would work.
"Yes."
In the end, Ray selected yes, a super tier crystal was two more levels above Ray currently needed in the first place to evolve. Although it would have given him a head start, in the current situation they were in, using it now was a lot more important.
The crystal suddenly appeared from his body and started to hover and moving towards the centre of the circle just above the well. Then when It reached the centre, it lit up slightly. The lines that were being used to draw the magic circle also lit up emitting a powerful glow.
Kaito was in the middle of drawing the thing suddenly looked up.
"What's going on?" All he could see was Ray standing it the centre of the circle and a crystal by his side.
"It seems I have solved the problem of powering the teleportation." Said Ray.
"But how?" Kaito replied, "You would need an incredibly strong force of power to activate something as big as this?"
Ray then pointed to the crystal hovering in the well.
"I placed one of my beast crystals I obtained in the centre, I hope it can help you."
Kaito immediately got up from where he was and ran towards the centre of the circle. As he looked at the crystal, he noticed how clear it was. The clearer the crystal meant the higher tier of a beast it had come from.
"Is this a super tier crystal?" Kaito thought to himself amazed. If Ray really was from the Red wings, then the information he had gathered about them was wrong. For one of their members to have a super tier crystal meant he must be incredibly powerful.
There was still much to do to the magic circle before it could be used to transport them home, but with the news that now the crystal could be used. The professors and students who knew about the magic circle moods were all lifted and the atmosphere was getting even brighter in the village.
"What should we do about the two bodies?" Bliss asked.
"We don't have time to give them a proper burial and we can't use the teleporter to transport them." Springett said, "We will just have to move them into one of the houses."
The group of students gulped at the thought of moving a half mangled, half-eaten bodies with their bare hands. Without saying anything Ray started to walk up to the bodies and placed his hand above them.
"Fire attribute."
A strong fire started to burn around the body and a few seconds later nothing was left other than black ashes. He then did the same to the next one allowing for the wind to blow the ashes away.
"Fire magic as well?" Springett said. "And incredibly powerful, it even managed to burn the bones to ashes."
After finishing his task, he no longer had anything to discuss with the group so he decided to go relax and lie down on Noir. The people who had gathered around Noir quickly left as soon as they saw Ray come over.
Although they were grateful to have someone strong and powerful on their side, they were scared. Perhaps if they had a fighting chance it would be different but it felt like they didn't even have that if they were to go against Ray.
As Ray laid on Noir, he would constantly open one of his eyes all the time to look at a certain person.
But this strange action didn't go unnoticed by the others either.
"Hey Bliss, that boy keeps on looking at you," Norah said.
"Yeah I know, I don't know why but I have the strangest feeling I've met him before."
"Do you think he likes you?" Norah had an innocent smile on her face. With her short frame, it looked as if a little kid was all giggly and excited.
"Don't you remember what Max said, he's already taken by his sister."
"So are you saying if he wasn't you would try going for him?"
Bliss face was now bright red, she turned away from Norah and started to storm off.
"Wait I was only messing around."
"That woman, why does she have to look like the witch so much." Ray said, "I think I'm going crazy staying at this academy. Once this is all over, I just need to find the divine being and get out of here."
Just then, Noir started to growl.
"What's wrong girl?"
She then stood up and growled in a certain direction of the forest.
A figure had appeared from behind the trees and out of the shadow. He looked like a hooded mage dressed in a black robe and in his hand was a long staff with a crystal at the end.
As he exited the forest, he walked to the edge of the village just outside where the houses were.
"How has an old man been able to survive in this place for so long?"
The old man stopped just at the edge of the village and started to scout and look at the people around him, until he finally pointed his staff at a single student.
"You come with me, if you want the rest to live." The old man said.
The student he pointed at was Van.
