My Dragon System Chapter 247 – A Threat

Max’s body couldn’t stop trembling as he could feel the hand of the middle-class student on his shoulder.

“What do we do?” Max mouthed out to Ray hoping that he would be able to help.

“Alright fine,” Ray said, “We will be happy to head off with you two.”

While the two of them followed the middle-class student, Ray noticed they were taking them to the part of the academy where the Lower-class students weren’t allowed. Ray had to prepare himself for the possibility of a fight.

All of his equipment was in his endless void but then a thought came into his head, that Ray had to be careful not to expose himself. If he ever did get into a fight at the academy, he needed to try his best just to use his magical abilities to win.

And because of the information, Lenny had put down claiming that Ray was a fire mage. Right now, Ray only had a single fire skill. Fireball.

Finally, after walking with the second-year students for a while they had arrived just outside one of the middle-class buildings. Other then it being in a different area, the lower-class building looked the same as the middle-class building.

The second-year students had escorted them to a large man with a ponytail whose name was Nano and just like the others Nano to had two stripes on his shoulder indicating that he was a middle-class student.

“We brought them over here just like you asked.” One of the second-year students said.

“Thanks, you guys can go ahead and leave now.” As Nano said that his goons had done as he asked.

Nano then walked over to Max and Ray, his large body towering over theirs. Max was afraid just from the size and height of the person but Ray felt like he was only large compared to student standards.

Nano stood about 6 foot 5, Whereas Lenny was truly a tall man. Lenny was so tall that Ray had suspected the man might contain giant blood running through his veins or at least learnt a skill to make him taller. So Nano height didn’t intimidate him one bit. 

“What do you want?” Ray said making sure to sound annoyed.

Even if he was hiding his secret at the academy, Ray wasn’t going to get pushed around by humans.

“Shouldn’t you know already?”

“If I did, why would I ask?” Ray said smiling.

“Oh, I guess you really don’t know, you are a new student after all and the fact that you’re talking to me a middle-class student so fearlessly proves you don’t know your place yet.”

“The fact that you are talking to a higher being a dragon, maybe you don’t know your place.” Ray wanted to say but he bit his tongue.

“I’m going to give you a warning, don’t hang out with that freak or we will get involved,” Nano said.

“I don’t understand.” Ray said, “There is a freak in Roland, I haven’t seen anyone who would look like a freak?”

“You know what I’m talking about, perhaps you sympathise with him, or you’re doing it to make yourself feel better treating him nicely. But I’m telling you now. If you don’t listen to my warning, you are the one who will truly suffer in this academy.”

“Are you threatening me?” Ray asked clenching his fist.

Nano could see this and placed his face right over Ray’s.

“Interpret my words however you like.”

*****

After the tense confrontation with the middle-class students, Max and Ray went to relax on a nearby outside bench.

“Now will you finally listen to me. “Max said, “They blatantly came out and said if you continue to get involved, they’re going to attack us.”

Ray thought about it for a while, there were two options he could use to deal with this. Either he could beat the students to a pulp, or solve it politically.

Ray was more inclined to go with the second option as Lenny had given him advice before entering the academy. He didn’t know enough about the other students. According to Lenny, many Nobles spread through Alure kingdom sent their family members here.

What Ray needed now more than ever was to gather strong members into his army to fight against the shadow in a year’s time. Ray had to be careful who he allied with and who he went up against in this academy if he had any hopes of recruiting them in the future.

And if he went around beating up all his future allies then, Ray could only blame himself when the time had come and Ray needed their help.

“Hey, Max you’re from the heart family right?” Ray asked, “Maybe you will be able to gather some information. Out of all the students get information on which ones would be able to ally with us, or are powerful enough to go against Blake’s family. People who at least have the same backing as Blake, I doubt that the only reason the academy is turning a blind eye is because of his potential but I suspect it has something to do with his background as well.”

Without anyone realising it though, Van actually had the strongest backing in all of Roland with the Queen as his mother, but for some reason, Van was hiding this.

“It’s time we investigate into this?” Ray said.

“Investigate, what do you mean?”

“Well let’s just go and ask Van what happened, you never know maybe he will tell us.”

Ray had made up his mind, even though he had to be careful who he fought with there was one person he couldn’t forgive and that was Blake. It was clear that Blake was the one who sent Nano to deliver that message. According to Max, Nano was practically Blake’s right-hand man. 

If he couldn’t get the information from Van about what happened, then he would just have to go with plan B and beat it out of Blake.
