My Dragon System

After the three of them finished signing the contract, Ray tested a few things. Like the Skill stated, Ray was able to give mana as well as take mana from others. The problem was every person was different, even if he was to take mana from Jack and give it to the twins, he didn't know how much the twins could take.

Ray also thought that it would best if the others grew stronger on their own and not to rely on him. Only in an emergency situation would they ask for Ray's help. There were a few other interesting things as well. The others were able to open up a status screen of their own.

It didn't say much for them other than who was a part of the Red Wings but it did allow them to message each other through the system no matter how far they were. Before the three of them left, Sloth turned around and asked Ray a question.

"I understand you not wanting to invite some of the others but what about Gary, I thought the two of you were close?"

Of course, Ray had thought long and hard whether he should invite Gary or not. It wasn't the fact that Ray didn't trust Gary but in some instances, Ray had seen that Gary was power-hungry. If Gary was to learn of all the unique powers that Ray had. Gary would surely ask Ray for help against his sister.

Ray was fine with that but there was a plan and order to things. Gary, to put it into simpler terms was uncontrollable, a variable that was unpredictable for Ray and he couldn't have that in his team.

Ray smiled

"Gary has his own problems to deal with, it's best for now if we don't involve him in our matters."

What Ray said was true. Perhaps once Gary became more stable, Ray would invite him at a later time.

The start of the week had arrived and the knights were outside training. Things weren't back to normal yet as currently all sash training sessions were cancelled and only basic training was required for now.

It felt weird to a lot of the students as half of them were no longer there. Even the teachers could feel a strange energy. Once training was over students were able to do whatever they wished.

Ray was getting ready to walk up to the city wall to plan his escape from the city. He needed to get stronger and needed as many Beast crystals as he could as fast as he could but just as he was about to leave the training field, Gary came up to him.

"Hey, do you mind coming with me to the library?"

Ray thought it was a strange request, especially coming from Gary, he wasn't the type to read books so this defiantly felt more like it was code for something else.

"Sure."

The two of them headed off into the library and chose to sit on a table near the far back, where they wouldn't be heard by others. Once Gary looked around to make sure no one was around he said.

"Do you remember when we went down to that red door, well I have some more information about it."

Suddenly, Ray was very interested in what Gary had to say. Ray thought back to when he overheard the elders speaking in the meeting room. They had discussed that they were protecting something and Ray had a hunch that it was something to do with that red door.

"If you're thinking of going back their again, it's impossible after the attack, that thing is even more guarded then before and do you remember last time, we almost died."

"What if I told you I found another entrance?" Gary said. "I found out that the red door is not the only passage underground. You remember those caves in the mountains just behind the city? how the knights say it's full of deadly magical beasts. Turns out it's all a lie."

Ray wasn't surprised by the information he had just heard, the academy had lied about many things, what was one more lie to that list.

"How did you find out about this information?"

"Jasmine was the one who told me, ever since that day we went underground she said she had been having dreams. When I asked her about it, she said the dreams where the same as the ones I used to have."

This reminded Ray of the voice he had heard in the dream that one time, ever since that day Ray had stopped hearing the voice.

Gary then went up and grabbed a book from part of the library. The front of the book read "the Dragon knights' journey"

"These dreams Ray, I think they mean something. Before the founders of the academy became Dragon knights, they experienced the exact same thing."

Gary then turned to a page of the book and slid it over to Ray. Ray began reading the paragraph that Gary had his finger pointed at.

The paragraph read.

"I heard the voice for several nights and did not know what to do, it was as if something was calling out to me. A power far stronger than my own. I followed the voice and eventually found it, the Devine being. She granted me power and cleared my heart of all evils. She showed me the true path in my life and the future of the world."

"So, you think that the academy is hiding the Divine Being?" Ray asked.

The Divine Being was said to be located at Roland academy, not at Avrion academy. Ray had also wanted to meet this Divine Being as it said she was the one who founded the Dragon knights.

"Why haven't you gone to this place on your own?" Ray asked.

"Jasmine said when she tried going, there was a door. One similar to the one we met underground. She tried her best to open it but nothing." Gary then paused for a little before continuing.

"Ray, I'm not stupid, I know that door underground opened because of you. I need your help. Let's find this Divine being together."
