Chapter 164 - 5 Percent
After hearing his own name Jack immediately responded and started to head towards the front where Ray and Sir K were standing.
"Sir K, do you think you could take a full blow from this student here?"
Although Sir K might not have a crazy amount of Ki like Jack did, Sir K was a lot better at controlling Ki and also had better equipment.
"Sure." Sir K responded confidently.
Before the two were to do their demonstration, Ray made sure that Jack used a different weapon instead of his giant Great sword. Even if Sir K was confident, Ray would hate for a new member of the Red wings to get hurt in a demonstration.
"Now Jack, I want you to hit Sir K as hard as you can with your sword and Sir K do you best to block."
They both readied their grip on their weapons and just as Ray commanded, Jack gave a full swing aiming directly for Sir K"s weapon. Sir K was prepared though and at just the right time concentrated all his Ki into the part of the sword where the two made an impact.
The power of the two swords clas.h.i.+ng vibrated the whole room.
"That student is really strong to be able to do a strike that powerful," Ann said.
"Well, he is the number one student in the school," Martha replied, but as she said those words, another thought came to her mind. Was Jack really the strongest in the school? If she had to guess she would have to put Ray somewhere at the top as well.
It was a shame that he hadn"t agreed to join the Red wings but Martha knew that was Ray"s style anyway.
"I admit the attack was strong but this student has always had this power." Sir K said.
"Don"t rush Sir K, the demonstration isn"t over."
This time when Ray used the skill, he was ready for it, He tried his best to suppress the sound deep within him but it was useless and a loud roar came from deep within.
The Roar was so intimidating it caused Wilfred to draw his weapon afraid that the man was going to act. However, Von lifted his hand to Wilfred indicating that it was all okay.
At the same time, each of the members of Red Wings received a notification stating that all of their stats had been boosted by 5%.
"Okay now repeat the exact same thing again."
Sir K thought this was ridiculous, just because the leader let out a roar all of a sudden Jack"s attack was meant to get stronger? Although Sir K had doubts, he still agreed anyway.
Jack swung the sword once again as hard as he could and Sir K lifted his sword at just the right time. Only this time instead of the two swords clas.h.i.+ng in mid-air the strength was too strong for Sir K. He was forced to let go of his sword otherwise his writs would have broken.
Sir K stood there speechless.
"That little roar is an ability of mine, it will boost all members of the Red wings by 5%."
Sir K knew that 5 percent didn"t sound like a huge amount but the more powerful you were the more a percentage would have an impact, 5 percent would make a huge difference.
That was a crazy amount to improve and not only that but Ray had also stated every member of the Red wings received this effect.
If he was to have an army of his own, a skill like this could change the tide of the battle.
Sir K then immediately went down on one knee.
"Please, allow me to be part of the Red wings."
After Sir K finished accepting the contract, the meeting of the red wings was over and everyone was to proceed there day to day activities as normal.
Although Ray now contained a huge amount of power within the academy, he didn"t have control. It was important to keep the city functioning as it always has been doing, in order for the rest of the knights to continue fighting the shadow plague.
Once everyone had left, Ray sent a special message to Jack, Gary, Badger and Sloth, the only people who knew his real ident.i.ty. Ray grew tired of staying in Nes"s form all the time and wanted to just be himself.
The five of them met inside the academy on the bottom floor.
"So what are we doing here Ray?" Gary asked.
"There"s something that"s been bugging me ever since I first came to this academy. I plan to head back to the underground cavern and I want you guys to come with me."
"A good old adventure again huh, count me in," Gary said.
"You didn"t have to ask boss," Jack replied.
Badger and sloth, of course, nodded in perfect sync.
With the increase of power in Rays Dragon"s eyes skill he found out how complex the mines underneath the academy truly were. There were several paths that led through the whole city and one of these paths led to the cemetery.
When Ray first arrived, he saw in the Dragon knights" tombs below a red burning aura. The problem was the cemetery had always been guarded above ground but there weren"t any knights below. Right now, it was a perfect time as well.
The knights in the city were few since they had sent two armies out. Most of the guards who were left behind had a connection to Von or Sir K in some way. If Ray was to give the order, they simply would ask the guards to step aside from the Red door.
Ray immediately sent a command to Von asking him to make sure that there would be no guards guarding the red door at a certain time. Although Von was interested in asking why he wanted to go back underground, he didn"t question it.
Ray was slowly starting to uncover all the secrets of Avrion Academy and once he had enough power and learned everything he needed to learn, it was time for him to head to the outside world and pay a visit to Roland academy.
