My Dragon System

Ray's left arm was still currently frozen solid. He needed to wait for his mana to come back to activate his fire attribute and melt the ice away. As it was, Ray's mana returned at a rate of 1 point for every five minutes that passed. If he sat down and focused, this rate could increase to one mana point per minute.

Ray sat down and started to focus in order to get his mana points back. As he did, he went to look at the new skill he had obtained.

<Skill Transform>

The skill transform allowed Ray to change his appearance. Although Ray was originally happy when he first saw this, his opinion quickly changed when he read the description.

Ray saw that the description had many restrictions. Ray would only be able to transform his appearance and not alter any of the features on his body. What this basically meant was he could change his face to appear as another person and skin colour but nothing else.

Not only that but the skill required him to maintain an output mana, unlike his dragon eyes. While using the skill transform, it would use up 5 mana points per hour of transformation. Although this skill was pretty much useless for battle, Ray thought of other ways he could use this skill in the future.

Ray then thought about the purple vile he had obtained. It seemed to contain the essence of the shadow plague. It not only infected Killer but also made him stronger. Ray was wondering if he would be able to give the vile to someone who knew what to do with it. He would have to wait until he was out of the academy. There were more members of Pureblood than the academy originally thought, and it was even worse now that perhaps it was all linked to the shadow plague somehow.

If he gave it to someone in the academy it would probably disappear without Ray ever finding out what it was.

Finally, Ray had restored enough mana points to activate the fire attribute into his right gauntlet. He then took it to his left arm and started to thaw out his arm until it was completely free to move again.

After his arm was completely thawed out, Ray went to each of the bodies on the floor and started to burn them until there was nothing left but ashes. Ray was afraid that if he left the place and left the bodies there, someone would find them and it would only cause him more problems.

Ray didn't come out of the fight empty-handed though. He got to keep the spear that Killer used. It was an advanced tier weapon with the ability to reflect low magic spells and Ki. It was a shame that Ray didn't really fight with a spear. He thought about giving it to Dan but then the pureblood members would target Dan for having it.

For now, he would just have to keep it somewhere safe for the time being. Ray then picked up the great sword and started walking over towards Jack.

Jack was bloody all over and needed medical help soon.

"Here you go," Ray said as he handed the weapon back to Jack. "Thank you for letting me borrow it."

"No problem. So you're a mage then?" Jack said.

Jack had seen Ray freeze the spear as well as burn the bodies. Jack was right to think that Ray was a mage, but he had never heard of a mage that could fight as well as Ray and also perform magic.

It took mages years to learn how to use their magic properly, so they didn't have time to focus on fighting skills unless they were hundreds of years old.

"I hope I don't have to explain that it's important that you keep this a secret from everyone?" Ray asked.

"Are you crazy? You saved my life. I owe you at least that."

Jack had been brought up in a well-off noble family. But they weren't like others. His father had worked up from a foot soldier and eventually became a general for the Alure Kingdom while his mother was an A-ranked adventurer.

The two of them brought up Jack well and taught him to always pay back those that you owe a favour to. And right now, Jack owed Ray his life. Jack thought if Ray ever needed him to risk his life for something he would do so without hesitation.

Jack saw something special in Ray and thought that this man would soon change the world and he wanted to be a part of it.

Jack then stuck his great sword down and tried his best to get down on one knee.

"I Jack Glee, owe my life to my saviour. I promise if there's anything you ever need help with in the future, I will serve you at the risk of my own life."

Ray liked people like Jack. They were honest and straightforward.

Ray then summoned Noir and asked for both of them to get on her.

"You can also summon a beast! I was a fool to think I could beat you right now."

Jack was happy to find out that there were still many strong people in this world. He had long grown bored of the academy. He felt like following Ray would get him in even more interesting scenarios allowing him to fight strong opponents like he did today.

Ray dropped off Jack at the hospital so they could heal his wounds in time for the match tomorrow. Jack then remembered that Ray was also seriously injured by Killer.

"Aren't you going to come in too?" Jack asked.

Ray then showed his chest was originally there was a mark form the impact but right now there was nothing there.

"My body is special so don't worry about it, I'll be fine by tomorrow."

After leaving Jack at the hospital, Ray started to walk towards his room. He was debating whether he should tell Wilfred of the events that occurred today. The problem was there were too many people Ray couldn't trust. Pureblood was an organisation that just disagreed with the prophecy, but finding out the shadow plague is involved made everything a lot more serious.

The shadow had already infiltrated Avrion and they didn't even know it. It could only mean that the people at the top were responsible. Either a master knight or an elder.
