BXBX NOVEL Chapter 50 50 Strange Woman
Ray quickly ran towards silver and perform some healing on his wounds, silver was tired from the fight and was automatically retrieved back into the system. Ray would have no choice but to walk to the capital.
Finally, Ray could see the capital gate, it was still night time so no one was in sight, silver had been retrieved and was in the system, he was glad he decided to evolve his pet.
If he didn\'t evolve silver, he would have a hard time finding where to keep him when he joined the knight academy, and with silver all his journey would be easier.
Ray walked towards the capital gate and was waiting to be searched, a merchant was in his front and the merchant\'s carriage was being inspected by the guards.
A woman was speaking with one of the guards then she saw a familiar face, \'isn\'t that the boy I saw in the forest\' she said.
She was the woman who hid behind a bush and watched Ray summon silver, "hey, check that boy and tell me about him" she said to one of the guards, "yes ma\'am" the guard answered.
Ray sighed as he stood there waiting for his turn, he and the merchant were the only ones in the line but it seems like they were fifty more people before him.
"Next" the guard finally called as they were through with the merchant, Ray removed his adventurer ID and showed them, "where are you coming from?" the guard asked, Ray was shocked, other times his adventurer ID was all they ask for but he answered them anyway.
"I\'m coming back from a village, I went for a task there" Ray answered, "why didn\'t you wait for morning before coming back," the guard asked.
\'What is wrong with this guy, what\'s with the question, am I a criminal\' Ray complained inwardly, "I have to be at the arena by morning for the knight academy entrance exam".
"You\'re joining the knight academy?"
"Yes I am, is something wrong" Ray finally asked the guard, "no nothing, you are free to go", Ray walked past the guard and looked around, he saw a woman resting on the wall and looking at him, "why is she staring at me" Ray wondered and quickly walked away.
"So what did you find about him," the woman asked the guard, "he\'s an adventurer, and he\'s joining the knight academy this year".
"knight academy... why would he join the knight academy?", "I don\'t know," the guard said wondering why she was curious about the boy.
\'I don\'t understand, why would a tamer join the knight academy he\'s clearly a mage... except he\'s finding something, he made a big mistake coming across me\' the woman smirked and shook her head.
Ray made his way to the merchant\'s house, this is going to be the last time he would sleep here, that is if he passed the exams.
\'Wait, what if I don\'t pass the knight exam... then what will I do\'
\'Well, I\'m an adventurer so I can keep completing tasks and eventually join a powerful guild, wait that doesn\'t sound right, why did I even reincarnate? and why here?\' Ray stopped when this question came to his mind.
\'All the books and movies I\'ve watched about reincarnation, there is always a reason for the reincarnation and a villain that the protagonist has to defeat\'
\'Shit what I\'m I saying, there\'s no way I\'m the protagonist and this is not a movie, besides this world is peaceful, they are no evil people who want to destroy the world, so like everybody else, I\'ll live the rest of my life here in peace\'
Ray had finally reached the merchant\'s house and knocked on the door, "who is there" a voice called from within, "It\'s me Ray".
The door opened and Ray saw that it was one of the maids that opened the door, "Hi" Ray said to the maid, "welcome" the maid greeted him.
Ray went to the room where they all shared, he opened the door slowly so as to not wake any of them, unknowing to him they were not even asleep.
As Ray continued to open the door slowly, "what are you doing?" Ray was startled when he heard this, he looked inside the room and none of them were asleep.
"I thought you guys had gone to sleep, I didn\'t want to wake you," Ray said and opened the door well.
"Where have you been?" Lily asked
"I went to a village outside the capital to complete a task, then I slept off," Ray said the last part smiling as he remembered Ella.
"Why do you always like to complete tasks outside the capital?" Lily asked him, "I don\'t like the other tasks and I need to sleep"
"Did you hear about the knight exam?" Arya said, "what about it, we were told to come to the arena, right"
"This year\'s exam is a battle, free for all" Arya told him, "free for all, I don\'t understand" Ray and to her.
"There\'s no point telling him," Jack said, "free for all is like a war, it\'s a battle where everyone participates at once".
"So all the candidates will participate in a free for all battle in the arena", "yes, we don\'t know the rules, but that\'s what we heard," Arya said.
"That\'s interesting" Ray smiled, "it\'s not interesting, with a battle like that it\'s not about skills, it\'s about teaming up" Lily pointed out.
"Yes, even if your skills are great, against five people you would surely be defeated," Jack said.
"So if we go there tomorrow, we stick together and form a team," Arya said happily, \'she seems like the active type, she will always start conversations, lengthen conversation and try to make everyone laugh.\'
\'Lily on the other hand has changed, she rarely talks anymore and it\'s like she\'s angry with me\' Ray thought as he laid down to sleep.
