My Dragon System

Chapter 265 - The assesment starts

After Kaito had introduced himself to the others. Max quickly realised what a gold mine had landed right on their doorsteps. Kaito was one of the students who had a backing that rivalled that of Blake's.

When Ray had asked Max to gather information, he had come up with two people who would have been able to help Van fight back against Blake. People that even Blake didn't want to get involved with.

One of them was the princess of the Cryterian Kingdom named Noah, and the other was Kaito. But there was one person who wasn't pleased about the whole situation and that was Bliss.

She had originally approached Ray hoping she would be able to get the best results at the practical assessment this year. After witnessing what he had done in the assembly hall she felt like she had to nab him.

But unknown to her, she didn't realise what baggage would come with him. Max was one of the worst performing students of the class, although his skills weren't too bad, he couldn't be relied on for anything else other than fighting.

Van was an unknown person to her, but judging by what Max and Ray had told her, Van was unable to produce magic so it was important that they protect him.

Then finally there was the newest addition to the team Kaito. He had been at the school for four years but not once was able to get a passing grade to move up to the upper classes. Simply put, the only two people that were reliable were Ray and herself Bliss thought.

That night when Ray had returned to his room, he decided to head back to the roof. He climbed to the very top and tried to contact Jack. He wanted to thank Lenny for helping him out of the tough situation he was placed in today with the magic circle.

However, if Ray knew what Lenny had done and the fact that it had only made Springett give him even more attention. Ray would not be trying to thank Lenny but curse him instead.

But when Ray tried sending a message out here received a notification.

Ray tried once again and this time, to Martha.

For some reason, the system wasn't allowing him to send messages to the Red wing members. This had happened once before underneath Avrion when he had been separated from Gary and Jack. Ray never did get to find out why. back then after waiting a while the system seemed to be working as normal once again.

Ray didn't know why but the fact that his system was unable to be used to send a message, he couldn't help but shake this bad feeling that something was about to come.

His mission of helping out the Queen with her son had nearly come to an end. All he needed to do was deal with Blake. But that wasn't the end of his task with Van. For some reason the divine being wanted Ray to take Van with him out of Roland and to fight against the shadow.

The next step for Ray was trying to find the Divine being.

That night, the rain had fallen on top of Roland.

A few days had passed with nothing out of the ordinary happening and finally, it was the day of the big practical assessment. The lower-class students were all told to gather in the square just outside one of the training facilities.

The students were full of chatter and excitement as for most of them it was there first time experiencing something like this but there were also a few who had done this more than once.

Ray's mind was currently filled with all sorts of thoughts, he was still unable to find any information about where the Divine being could be inside the academy. There were just too many restricted areas.

He also wanted to desperately contact Jack to ask Lenny if he had any ideas at all, even if it was just a little hint but ever since that day a few days ago. Ray's system still wasn't working properly and he was unable to contact any members of the Red wings.

"Hey Nes, our class it entering next!" Max shouted.

"You seem to be exited?" Ray replied.

"Of course, it's my first time going to a hunting ground and fighting off against beasts. Even if you are a lower class you can't do this as a first-year."

The group waited for the rest of their members to arrive. First Bliss had arrived and finally so did Kaito. As the group started chatting and talking about the assessment. Ray couldn't help but shake the bad feeling and it was only getting stronger.

He looked at Van and wondered why he hadn't seen the True infected around the academy since that day. If they were after Van there many opportunities but they never tried again after that.

Suddenly though the crowd of people started to chatter up again as something was happening in the square.

"What are they doing here?"

"I thought the assessment was only for the lower class."

"What the!" Max said with his mouth wide open. "Why are the upper-class students here?"

Just then Blake and three other upper-class students had entered the square and were patiently waiting off to the side with the others.

"Do you think they're coming with us?" Max asked.

"I heard some rumours," Bliss said, "It looks like after what had happened last year, they decided to invite some of the Upper class along, just in case anything was to go wrong."

As Van looked at Blake, memories of last year's event started to flash through his eyes. His body started to shake and he wasn't sure if he could go through with the assessment again.

Then he felt a hand being placed on his shoulder.

"Don't worry Van, I'm with you this time okay," Ray said.
