My Dragon System

The next day had arrived and once the routine training had finished, the members of the Red wings started to head for to the martial arts hall and on the way, they couldn't stop talking about meeting Nes and about what he had done in the cave below.

"So Nes really killed the true infected?" Kyle asked.

"Yeah, you don't understand, I felt like any second I was going to die," Dan said "power started to seep away from my body just from looking at the guy, then when we all thought we were going to die. Bang! Nes comes out of nowhere."

Dan and the others didn't know about Ray's ability to absorb mana and Ki from the other members whenever he needed. Dan had thought at the time, the energy leaving his body was being caused by the True infected when it was actually from Ray.

"Just who is he?" Monk asked. "I mean like, how did he get into the academy, how did he even know we were down there?"

"Maybe it has something to do with that contract we signed," Martha replied. "I don't think we have to worry about him too much. Like Jack said when he invited us, he was going to protect us and he did."

The group continued to talk about the mysterious Nes person until they had eventually arrived at the Martial arts hall. Von, Slyvia and Jack were stood at the entrance of the Martial Hall while Ann, Wilfred and Sir K were already inside.

As the members entered the room one by one Jack asked each person to show the marking of the Red wings. Wilfred and the others were staring at disbelief. Von had explained a little bit about what was going on but Wilfred was amazed how many people were part of this Red wings group, while the Academy had no idea something like this existed.

Wilfred had also noticed that each member was showing a marking on their shoulder. Wilfred wasn't liking what he was seeing, as he was getting the feeling they had joined some type of cult that forced people who joined to be branded.

Once all of the members had entered the room everyone was surprised at who was there with them. Many of them had no idea Von was part of the Red wings nor did they know Gary had just joined. They could look at the list of members at any time but it wasn't something they would do on a daily basis.

They would often only interact with the system when needed. Gary was currently starring in Harry's direction.

"Can't believe he got invited before me," Gary mumbled.

Then suddenly, in front of the people who had gathered, shadows started to appear and an image of a man emerged. It was the man they knew as Nes.

Immediately all members of the Red wings went down on one knee and bowed down.

"We welcome the Boss!" they all said at the same time.

Ray was a bit speechless at what was happening himself. He had never asked any of the Red wings to act like this. What Ray didn't know was Jack had informed everyone when inviting them, that they must call Nes Boss when they see him. He even told them to greet him in a specific way.

Jack felt a little proud of himself as he looked at everyone bowing down.

"You guys can relax and sit," Ray said.

They did as they told and sat down on the floor while Ray himself even sat down.

"Did you notice that?" Wilfred whispered to Sir K.

"Yeah, he entered using the Shadow steps, a skill only used by the black sashes." Sir K replied.

"Perhaps he used to be a student of ours."

Sir K remained silent; he was still unsure of the man's identity himself but they all knew that wasn't important right now. The reason why they had gathered was to find out about information on how to kill a True infected.

Nes began to talk.

"You have all been gathered here today because there is some important information I must give, in order for us to fight the shadow plague together. Originally I wanted to keep this information to only the Red wings but Von suggested we share it with trusted members of the academy."

Ray had phrased his words very carefully. He wanted to make it sound as if he was doing them a favour and he owed them one, slowly Ray wanted to plant a seed in the Master knights mind if he wanted them to join.

Ray then continued.

"The way the True infected have been able to survive so long is because what you are seeing is an illusion. When attacking the True infected shadow's body what you are actually are attacking is just an illusion. The only way to kill it is to be able to see past this illusion and attack its heart."

The members started to mumble thinking it was a lot easier than they thought. They started to gain confidence now they had learnt the truth behind the True infected but Wilfred and Sir K thought differently. If it really was an illusion it meant it was a powerful one, one that was two powerful for their own eyes.

This was also true for Ray himself. When he was only a Dragon knight, he was unable to see past this illusion. It was only when he had evolved into a Draco and his Dragon eyes had evolved with it, could he see past it.

Wilfred then raised his hand to be respectful. Ray nodded allowing Wilfred to speak.

"If I may ask, how were you able to see past this illusion?"

"I have a special ability that allows me to see the true form of others. I can see things in colours surrounding the body. When I saw the True infected, I realised that the aura surrounding the man didn't match the image my real eyes were seeing."

Wilfred's mouth was left wide open at what he had just heard and even Sir K had a similar reaction, While Von started to smile. They all felt something as soon as they heard Ray's words because the vision that he had just described, they had heard similar descriptions of it before. It was the ability of the Dragon Knights.
