My Dragon System

Chapter 45:A New era

The situation was now awkward at the Black squire training sessions. Kyle had been avoiding me ever since the whole situation, and Monk and Gary, they still hadn't said a word to each other since that day.

What it did do for everyone though, was now they were a lot more focused. There was no longer the friendly chit chat between us all. No more talks after our special training sessions. We would turn up to Sir K lesson and then turn back to the dorm for the night.

Gary had kept his number one ranking spot but now seeing the advantages of what the black knight training could do he started putting more effort into the session. He even started to use the techniques in his ranking matches.

He also no longer played around with his opponents, now he would finish most of them in the first few strikes.

I had also learnt a lesson my self that day, it seemed like I was spending too much time interacting with the human race, it had made my heart grow softer over these years making me lose focus of my original goal. That day was a friendly reminder of what humans were like.

After our basic and special training sessions ended Wilfred Came to great the four of us inside the mansion.

"It's nice to see you all again, I'm afraid I don't have much time for chit chat today, as I'm here on behalf of the grand elders. Kyle, Ray would you please follow me."

"Don't you need us as well?" Gary asked.

"I'm afraid this matter only concerns them for now."

We followed Wilfred along to the centre of the academy were he lead us to one of the top rooms of the tower. The room was decorated with paintings and monuments of the dragon knights, in the centre of the room was a huge single meeting table. At the end of the table standing were the four master knights. Delbert, Bernardo, Sir K and Miss Rose who was head of the green knights.

"Please take a seat you two." Wilfred Gestured us towards the seats at the table.

I sat down with Kyle while we waited patiently to be instructed further. A few moments had passed and the door we had entered from opened again. Three students were entering the room, one of them was Ian, the other two were also boys who seemed to have been identical twins. There was not a single thing to tell them apart from each other.

When looking around the room it was hard to not notice that there was one thing we all had in common, and that was our red hair. The five of us had been gathered in the room for a specific reason and we all knew it.

Wilfred went to the head of the table, he had a serious look on his face. Which often meant it was an important matter.

"I won't bore you with the small details and cut to the chase, the five of you have been brought here due to a prophecy that was told fifteen years ago. The prophecy told by the divine being stated that our land would be saved by a child with red hair."

The other four started to look at each other in shock, I already had little knowledge about this from long ago but I was surprised that they decided to inform us about this.

I decided to ignore the matter and not let it concern me too much because I truly believed that they had made a mistake, for my hair was originally back and even now there were still strands of black hair

Wilfred continued, "So in the search for the boy in the prophecy, we sent knights to roam the lands, they came across ten children, all who were the same age."

Ten children? To my knowledge there were only five including me, even at the table, we sat at they were only five of us there.

"I see the confusion on your faces, you five do not wield any magical abilities, whereas the other five do. As you are stationed at Avrion academy, they are stationed at Roland academy."

"So one of us if going to save the world," Kyle said excitedly.

I could sense that Delbert's reaction and Rose's reaction changed upon hearing Kyle said this. Almost as of they we're angry. It seemed like Wilfred was hiding something from us, perhaps not telling us the whole prophecy.

Behind Wilfred, a magical illusion started to portray the five dragon knights.

"This is why I have called you here today, we wish to recreate the legacy of our founders, just as the dragon knights of the past had saved us from the shadow plague, now this task will fall to you."

Kyle was now stood out of his seat, unable to contain his excitement.

"You mean.."

"That is correct you five will be the new dragon knights of Avrion academy, but this means you will need to put in the extra effort. On top of your basic and special training, you will now receive extra training as the dragon knights."

Everyone was edited at the news they heard, after all, it was a great honour for the knights. I was also happy to play along for now as hopefully, it would also give me more information on the dragon knights abilities.

Wilfred explained to everyone where and when we would meet for training but as we're all leaving the room Wilfred called out to me and told me to wait in the room.

As Wilfred entered the room he said

"Ray there's someone here to see you."

Behind Wilfred was a woman who I recognised well, she still looked as holy as ever. The first person who had held me in their arms. It was my mother.

My mother had tears running down her face but I could sense that these were not tears of joy.

"What's wrong I said."

As she slowly lifted her head she managed to mumble a few words out to me.

"It's your father."
