Chapter 103 103 Activating The Cells

Ray had just finished eating, he was already feeling better after having eaten, he was going to rest for today, a knight entered the dining room and was coming towards him.

"Hi, the senior knights are calling for you"

"Me, now," Ray said.

"Yes," the knight replied.

'I wonder what's wrong' Ray thought as he followed the knight.

Ray followed the knight till he got to where the senior knights were, they were all eating, Authur, Alfred, Jake, and the martial arts teacher.

"Ray right," the bearded man said as he dropped his spoon.

"Yes sir" Ray answered.

"I'm Kyle the instructor of the martial arts class"

"Nice to meet you sir," Ray said.

"Do you know why I called for you?" Kyle asked.

"No sir"

"I wanted to ask you if you were interested in joining the martial arts class, the skill you displayed in the duels was truly fascinating," Kyle said.

"Thank you sir I'm really honored, but I'm already in the sword class and I like using weapons," Ray said.

"This isn't about weapons, have you seen an elite student of martial arts, with your bare hands you can defeat beasts," Kyle said.

"Do you want to join the martial arts class or not?" Authur asked Ray.

"Give him some time to think about it," Kyle said.

"Okay, you can go if you wish to join the martial arts class you can speak to me or Alfred," Authur said.

"Okay sir" Ray replied and left.

'Why would he want me to join martial arts, I can't join because I already have a powerful weapon so I will stick to using it'

Ray left and went straight to his room. The day ran pretty quick and training resumed the next day.

After the fitness training and breakfast Ray and the students of the swords class were gathered in their training center waiting for Sir Jake.

"Hello sorry I'm late" Jake said as he arrived.

"Hello sir" they all answered.

"So today we are not going all out because you have duels later on, so we are continuing for where we left off," Jake said.

"Everyone here can sense their Ki and control it right?"

"Yes sir" the students answered quickly.

"Okay so today I want all of you to gather your Ki to the size of a fist, no bigger and no smaller"

"Okay" the students answered and started concentrating.

The day went by fast and the duels were no different, Ray still didn't reach the required rank which was 50 but he was very close, he fought three students, two were from a rank higher than him and he defeated them quickly.

Most of the students were now a little scared of Ray after the stunt he pulled with the guy from the martial arts class, he was able to reach rank 60 that day.

The duels were supposed to run for three days but the knights decided to add two extra days because they would be no duels next week.

The students wondered why the duel were canceled but focused on the remaining days so they can be able to have a shot at the knight's tournament.

Ray knew exactly why it was canceled, Ray in his beast form already warned the senior knights about the attack on the capital so maybe they were planning a counter in case it happened.

The first snow would be anytime next week so he had to be in the capital by then, if he escapes from the knight academy he wasn't going to come back.

After he fights the golden haired man and possibly win he was going back to his world and his wish was for his parents to be alive.

He knew he wasn't going to participate in the knight tournament he was just talking about it so no one would suspect him, all his friends seem to have forgotten about the prophecy and he wasn't going to remind them.

The next day Sir Jake told them to move to the next stage of the training, which was activating the cells, after the duels that was when their training would start.

"So we will start with hardening, move your Ki towards the part of your body you want to harden"

"Let's start with gathering your Ki in your stomach area," Jake said.

The students quickly got the hang of it because they could freely move their Ki around their bodies.

"Okay if you are ready we'll start with punching," Jake said but the students were confused.

"Sir what do you mean by punching," a boy asked.

"Have you hardened your stomach?" Jake asked.

"Yes sir" the boy replied.

In an instant Jake was in front of the boy, he punched the boy's stomach causing him to fall to the ground immediately.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

"Not enough," Jake said and the students were processing what happened while the boy was coughing on the ground.

"You are going to gather your Ki in your stomach and I'm going to punch you, see if you can withstand it," Jake said.

"Yes sir" the students all shouted.

"Let's make it interesting, everyone form a circle"

The students wondered how training would be interesting, they all waited to see what Sir Jake had in mind. The students all formed a circle with Sir Jake in the middle.

"I'm going to punch everyone here, one after the other, if you can withstand my punch without falling to the ground you have yourself one gold coin," Jake said.

The students were extra hyped, a gold coin is no joke, 1 gold coin is worth 100 silver coins and they could get new pieces of equipment with it or buy anything they wanted.

"But sir you are way stronger than us, there's no way that's possible," a boy said and he was right.

They just witnessed how he moved so fast that none of them saw him, so they was no way they could withstand his punch.
