novelHandsome man
| ← Ch.097 | Ch.099 → |
The transformation skill currently took 5 mana points for every hour Ray was fully transformed. Ray currently had a total of 43 mana points. This meant at the moment, he could stay in his current form for around another 8 hours. This was, of course, as long as he didn't have to fight using this form as that would also take up additional mana.
Ray looked at himself in the mirror one more time before heading off. Although he didn't really have any interest in humans, he thought he had a done a dam good job creating a handsome one using his skill transform.
After leaving the room with his ten crystals in hand, he decided to head back to the blacksmith shop. While walking through the halls, many of the female students couldn't help but look his way.
Ray was right. He had created one of the most handsome men to walk the earth. The females and even male students couldn't help but stare in admiration. Not only that, the equipment he was wearing screamed high-quality beast gear. But unknown to them it was all an illusion.
Ray wasn't used to the friendly treatment. Students would greet him in the hallway and ask him if there was anything he needed. It was completely different from when he was Ray.
"This world is quick to judge. Just a simple change in appearance and their actions and speech towards me change so drastically."
Ray thought that the students were hypocritical. These very same students ignored him and shunned him just cause of his red hair.
Finally, after arriving at the blacksmith shop, Ray opened the door and was happily greeted by the owner.
"So even you treat me differently?" Ray mumbled.
"Sorry, what was that sir?"
"Nothing. I'm looking for the best chest piece armour you have."
As soon as the owner saw Ray walk in, his eyes lit up with gold. From the equipment alone that the adventurer was wearing, he knew this man was a big spender.
The owner took Ray to the orange armadillo chest piece. Ray tried on the chest piece and straight away he could feel the quality in the armour. Not only was it strong, but it was flexible allowing him to have a free range of movement when fighting.
"I'll take it, " Ray said.
"And how will you be paying for that sir?!" The blacksmith asked with a bit too much enthusiasm.
"Will this be okay?" Ray said as he put ten intermediate beast crystals out on the table.
"That's perfect." The owner quickly put the crystals away and was happy for Ray to walk out with the armadillo chest piece.
Just as Ray was about to leave, he heard the bell chime on the door signalling that another person had entered the shop.
In walked a beautiful silver-haired girl with her armour in a blue and white pattern. She carried a giant shield on her back.
"Slyvia, " Ray called out to her.
Slyvia looked at the man who had just called out her name. After looking at the man up and down for a good few seconds she realised she had no recollection of the man who called out to her.
Not wanting to be rude Slyvia walked up to the man and bowed down.
"Forgive me sir, but how do you know my name?"
Slyvia was being extra polite. Her family had relations with many people who she had only seen when she was young. The man in front of her looked like an accomplished adventurer so she thought it would be best for her to mind her manners.
Ray had realised the grave mistake that he had just committed and needed to think of something fast.
"It's is a pleasure to meet you. I'm here because of the Avrion tournament. Of course I would know one of the contestants participating in today's matches." Ray said as he nervously smiled.
Slyvia's instinct was telling her something was off. Slyvia hadn't fought in the opening round meaning no one should know what she looked like. Slyvia decided to play along for the time being as she remembered Sir K's warning. The person in front of her might be a member of Pureblood.
"I hope I can put on a good show for you." She said as she smiled and went over to the counter.
Slyvia was currently picking up a new single-handed sword. Ray took a look and could tell it was an upgrade from her last weapon. She was currently holding a shark fin tiger beast blade. It was a curved sharp blade with a blue finish on the back. It matched her outfit well.
Slyvia picked up the blade and started to walk back out the door.
"Is that an advanced tier weapon you are carrying?" Ray asked.
"Slyvia nodded, "My brothers gifted me the crystal core for my battle today."
Ray's feelings were currently conflicted. Slyvia had helped him out in the past many times and right now he wanted to help her out but he didn't know how. The spear that Ray received from Killer was also an advanced tier weapon but even Killer wasn't able to put a scratch on Jack's body until he drunk the purple liquid increasing his Ki.
Ray knew that Slyvia didn't have a large amount of Ki, she always used her brain to fight her enemies but against an opponent like Jack that wasn't going to help her. It was the worst matchup for her.
"You're opponent Jack is strong, " Ray said."His body will feel like it's almost impenetrable. Although your weapon is strong it won't be enough against Jack, you must find another way."
This was all Ray could do to help out Slyvia. Ray himself didn't know how he could be of help to her. All he could do was warn her and let her think of something.
Slyvia was surprised to find out that the person in front of her was speaking as if he had fought against Jack himself before but she thought what the man was currently saying had to be impossible. She currently had an advanced tier weapon. The only person out of all the second years to have one, it was hard for her to imagine anyone having a body strong enough body to withstand a striking from one.
For some reason though, she felt like the man standing in front of her wasn't lying.
"What's your name?" Slyvia asked.
Ray had thought about this for a while if he ever needed to use an alias. He missed his old name. ƒ𝒓𝗲𝐞we𝚋𝚗o𝚟𝚎l - 🅽🅽novel
