My Dragon System

Although Gibby could no longer get rid off or kick the students out of the academy, Gibby was still an Elder and ordered that the students be kept under watch for a few days. A couple of the knights did as they were told and escorted the students back to their dorms.

The old man Von, had been asked to become Slyvia's adviser. The other Elders had no choice but to accept. Slyvia didn't have a clue what Elders really did or any of the rules. Von would now advice Slyvia on decisions and try his best to catch Slyvia up to speed. This also, of course, meant that Slyvia was no longer a student.

Although she would be free to train as she wished, she wouldn't be able to attend classes and hunt like the others but that wasn't really a necessary thing for elders in the first place.

Back at the dorm, the knights had just finished escorting Ray and the others back to their room. Once the others had entered the room, the two knights kept guard by the door, making sure that no one was allowed out.

"This whole thing is crazy!" Kyle said. "Slyvia is officially an elder now, how did that even happen?"

Everyone remained silent, they were still trying to take in everything that had just happened to them. Ray was currently thinking that it might be best to offer a contract to Slyvia. Before Ray wasn't sure as it seemed like Slyiva still had some loyalty to the academy due to her family.

But now she had seen a horrible side of the academy. This meant that she would be more inclined to accept Ray's offer. Not only that but then Ray would have someone under his command that had access to a high position in the academy. The only thing now was, would Slyvia accept?

Ray then opened up his status screen once more and went to look over his Red wings tab. There was now one more name there compared to before, which meant Jack had been doing what he had asked.

Ray had played around with the system a bit more and found out some extra things about the contract skill. In the system, he was able to give certain contracted people extra privileges. One of these privileges was offering contracts to other people.

And Ray had given Jack this exact privilege. The contract was still the same and they were all under the leader Ray. So even if Jack offered a contract to someone, they wouldn't be under Jack but Ray. Under the tab now was the name, Harry. Ray, of course, told Jack to not mention that he was the leader and told Jack if anyone asked to say it was Nes.

As soon as Ray gave permission to Jack, Jack could only think of one person who was loyal to him and that was Harry. Harry had accepted which meant without even realising it, he was under the control of Ray.

Ray thought that it might be best if Jack invited Slyvia instead, that way if Slyvia said no, Ray wouldn't have to reveal his identity.

While Ray was busy thinking about these things, Gary had finally broken the silence.

"They were really going to kick us out, weren't they? After everything we did for them, I don't even know if I want to be here anymore."

Everyone had similar feelings to Gary now but it was different for Ray who had never believed in the Academy in the first place, so unlike the others, he wasn't hurt by this.

"But now Slyvia has a seat as an elder." Martha said, "Maybe things can get better. I think it's best if we don't act on impulse."

Monk nodded showing that he agreed with what Martha said.

"Do you really think one elder is going to change anything!" Gary said angrily. "They clearly had something against us all, maybe they are members of pureblood or infected by the shadow plague."

"We can't just go around accusing people like that though," Dan said.

"What else can we do?" Gary replied, "Even Jasmine…" Gary paused for a brief moment as his voice croaked a little. "Even Jasmine who was a dear friend of mine turned out to be infected by the shadow plague."

Everyone knew that it must have been tough for Gary, not only was he the closest to Jasmine but he was the one who had killed her with his own two hands. As soon as he saw that Ray was in trouble, he had decided to jump to help without a second thought.

"We can't even go outside at the moment, there's nothing we can do," Martha said. "And think of it this way, if what you say is true Gary, then Slyvia will need our help. The other Elders will be targeting her, maybe even planning to assassinate her. If we aren't there to protect her in this academy then who is?"

Unexpectedly Ray decided to step in.

"There's nothing we can do for now, let's get some sleep and we can decide tomorrow."

As soon as Ray spoke those very few words, everyone listened and did as he said. They all treated Ray like a leader, whatever Ray said was the final say on the matter, Ray didn't know this but the rest felt this way.

Ray had only said this because he had made up his mind. The academy was fragmented at the moment. Master knights and elders split. Perhaps this was the best chance for him to grow his influence and grow his army of the Red wings.

That night, everyone was deep in sleep. Everyone apart from Ray had been worrying about this day for a whole week and finally, at least they now knew they would no longer be kicked out of the academy.

As Ray was sleeping silently, unknown to everyone, a Dark evil presence had managed to enter the room. It slowly started to walk over to the students, until it eventually it stopped at Ray
