novelNot caring
| ← Ch.247 | Ch.249 → |
Currently inside the Principals office. Van was there to deliver some gifts to the old man. The principal was a gentle soul who always wore the same clothing, a tattered long white robe. He was an old man with a white beard that reached his waist and behind his round circle classes, he had wrinkles around his eyes that showed his age.
Van always found it strange that principal Harvey decided to keep up this appearance. He was a powerful Mage and was sure that he knew a spell or two to look younger. But for some reason, Harvey had decided to stay the way he was.
In return for Van's gifts, Harvey had given Van a pile of fruit but before he had left, Harvey had to say something.
"Van, I shall ask you one more time, are you sure everything is going okay at the academy?"
"Yes, " Van replied.
"You do know that me and your mother are close, it's thanks to her that Roland could have even been built in this city. Your mother is worried about you."
"There is nothing wrong, " Van replied
Harvey shook his head. He was the principal of the school and had reports given to him on a daily basis about what the students were up to. Of course, he knew the situation going on with Van. He didn't know the full extent but he knew something.
"I'm just asking Van, if you do not seek help, then the school can do nothing to protect you."

Meanwhile, Ray was currently walking around the school aimlessly in search for Van. Hoping to ask just what had happened to him a year ago. Ray would constantly stop and ask random students in the hallway but as soon as they saw him, they decided to split off and disappear. Not a single student would allow him to approach them.
That's when Ray heard the sound of a female voice behind him.
"If you're looking for who I think you're looking for, I saw him head off to the east side building"
As Ray turned around, he saw a beautiful female with long black hair, she had piercing purple eyes but her expression was emotionless as she spoke. But that wasn't what stood out to him the most, because the female looked like a younger version of one the people he hated most.
Ray immediately grabbed the female by both hands and shouted.
"You witch, what did you do to me!"
The female was suddenly startled as she looked into Ray's eyes. She could feel the anger and the grip around his hands tightening.
"What are you doing!" She shouted, "You're hurting me."
Then when Ray realised, he had let his rage consume him, he let go of the student. With a second look, Ray realised that the two of them only resembled each other. The so-called Divine being and Witch that he battled with was a middle-aged woman but the student in front of him looked 17 at most, there was the chance she could be using a spell but Ray quickly remembered that the Divine being was currently just a lump of crystals.
"I'm sorry." Ray said as he walked off, "And thank you for the information."
"What was wrong with him." The female thought, "I hope I never run into him again."
As Ray headed to the east side building, Ray suddenly realised something else. In his vision, he had not only seen the prince fighting by his side but also a female with long black hair carrying a wand. He hadn't seen the females face clearly like he had the prince but Ray had his suspicions that this Female was the same person.
The fact that Ray was meeting these people from the vision the Divine being had shown him, made Ray feel sick. He didn't like it at all. As if he was being controlled by the Divine being to follow some fate he never asked for. It was like his own life wasn't in control.
Ray had reached the top of one of the buildings and headed outside to the balcony to look at the east side of the academy. There were several students outside walking between buildings trying to get to their next class.
Ray started to scan the field of people and that's when he finally saw Van walking on his own. Ray was about to call out to him when he realised there were many people out on the street.
"If I call out to him in public, then the upperclassmen will know I'm going against their order, won't they just come after me?" For a second Ray thought about Nano's words. If everyone saw he was trying to talk to Van they would inform the upperclassmen and that would cause Ray trouble.
But as Ray looked at Van, he had another thought, "Since when did I start doing what people asked me to do."
"HEY! VAN OVER HERE!" Ray shouted, "I NEED TO TALK TO YOU!"
In that instant that Van heard his name. He immediately started running away.
"Oh, so you think you can outrun me huh, well think again."
Ray then jumped off from the roof of the building and landed on the ground. As he did, he placed the Ki in his legs to suppress his landing and hardening his bones. Making sure not to break anything. Then using his Ki once again, Ray accelerated his way towards Van at an incredible speed.
"I said wait!" Ray shouted out to Van.

"Hey did you just see that?" A student said.
"Yeah, he jumped from the third floor of that building, how the hell did he survive that?"
"And did you see how fast he ran just now, do you think it was a magic spell?"
"Could you jump from that high?"
"Not unless I had wind magic"."
Then as a few students walked over to where Ray had landed, they noticed something else as well. The ground where Ray had landed on, had two small craters in the exact shape of his feet.
"What the hell?" The student's said, "how is this possible? If he used wind magic there shouldn't be something like this. Just who is that new student?"
