“Hopefully the solution is good,” Kid sighed. Even he was worried now as the situation had started to turn bleak.

In the past days, only one team had returned and they had did so after losing one person. Also, the supplies they gathered weren’t too much. After all, the academy area they were in mostly had classes and stuff.

Therefore, very few supplies were gathered. Ray had proposed an idea before that they should explore the dormitories but that was dangerous too and a bit far away as well. So Ray had decided to hold it for now and explore that place himself.

“We will see what it is when he returns. I am sure he will be here soon, so let’s wait for him,” Sirius suggested and sat down on the ground.

Being a werewolf and a free soul. He didn’t care if he sat on the ground or if his clothes got dirty. He was happy in any type of situation and that was his survival spirit.

It was kind of same for Kid and even though he hesitated a bit in the start, after going through the difficulties in the dungeon expedition; he had sorted all of this issues and was very good at survival skills at the moment.

This was the case for the whole team. Ray had trained them in a way that they would be able to survive through the toughest situations and this was one of the reasons why respected Ray this much. He always thought of them and was more like a brother to them than a leader.

“Well, I have a question if I may ask,” Sitting besides Sirius, Kid asked.

“Yeah sure. I wouldn’t mind as long as it doesn’t pisses me,” Sirius said coolly.

“Dunno if it would piss you but I guess nothing is wrong,” Kid said and asked, “Why are you so reserved? You rarely speak much and seem to be in anger most of the time. You are only open when with Ray,”

“Hmmm… nice question. Didn’t your mum ever tell you not to ask personal questions from others?” Turning to look at Kid, Sirius asked with a frown.

“Huh?” A bit scared by the frown, Kid was about to apologize as Sirius laughed.

“Hehe… Relax. I am in a good mood today. Well, it was fun fighting alongside you. So I will answer you,” Sirius said.𝓷𝑜𝒱𝓔𝐿𝗇𝓮xt.𝑐𝐎𝓜

“So see, I am like this. I have seen a lot of things and I don’t know about you but I am sure of one thing. Ray has seen a lot too and we both are quite alike. That’s why I am more open around him. Also, he was the first person to ever treat me right and not like a rabid dog,” Sirius narrated. His eyes were calm as sea and seemed to hide and ocean of turbulent of emotions.

His voice was cold and detached and it seemed that rather than narrating his own story, he was narrating a book that he had no linkage to.

“Well, I also feel natural around him. It is a feeling that comes deep from within me. So that’s all if you may ask and as for being serious and less talkative. Well, I am not much of an extrovert and like being in my space,” He added and completed his explanation.

“Also, this is enough interaction for today. So don’t ask anything else or I might snap,” Sirius warned Kid and looked up at the ceiling.

He thought of his mother and wished for her to be safe, “I should have done as Ray asked. Hopefully she is safe,” He thought to himself.

“Uhmm…Okay,” A bit speechless, Kid could only nod and remained silent. He didn’t want to piss of the dangerous wolf whose strength was only second to Ray.

As they both waited for Ray’s team,

Ray and his teammates walked through the hallways rather leisurely. Ray had used his spatial storage to store a good amount of meat. Right now, Ray was helping out the others in improving their skills.

Throughout the way, he had allowed Jason to ingest a few more different types of troll meat as he built up some resistance to the meat and analyzed it in much more depth.

Not only that, but he had also let the formation users build a couple of trapping formations and arrays to kite some trolls and then killing them.

“Okay you two. Drop all that stuff and be ready. Time to get you guys some points and make you stronger,” Ray said and called the porters up ahead.

Being weak and skinny, the porters looked to be quite malnourished and that was the most surprising fact. After all, they were in one of the top institutes around the globe and even if they were in the normal course, they got a lot of support and attention.

“Uhmmm…” Both of them hesitated and looked at others. They thought that Ray was making fun of them and was trying to mess with them. After all, it happened with them a lot and they were used to it.

“What are you two looking at? Don’t you want to get stronger?” Ray asked with a frown. He was confused by their reaction and even had the urge to go forward and slap some sense into their heads.

“No…no… it’s just that,” the male porter tried to speak. Though he stammered and shivered slightly in fear. He looked around. In front of him, he saw everyone giggling at him eerily as they made fun of him.

This made him stop and tears welled up in his eyes as he didn’t know what to do.

“Really?” Ray asked. Looking at the man’s reaction, he really had the urge to sleep this man unconscious but he understood the man’s issue as well.

Being in a society ruled by the strong. The porter wasn’t strong and Ray guessed the person to be at the lowest point of the food chain where he was usually messed with and bullied at.

That’s why, when Ray offered them both an opportunity, they hesitated as they didn’t know what to do.

“I won’t bite you guys. Here, come over and try to get stronger. I will keep the troll in place. You both just earn some experience points and level up,” This was Ray’s goal and he told him that plainly.

He didn’t want to waste his time and right away made them know that his goal was to make them stronger by helping them level up.

“Uh.. Okay,” Under Ray’s constant persuasion, the male porter cleared his tears and walked forward.

“Good,” Ray said. He lightly tapped the ground and disappeared like the wind. Appearing again in his place, there was a troll in his hands.

The troll wasn’t injured and was just held tightly by him in a vice grip. The troll was in the basic tier of the Mortal Realm and relatively easy to kill for Ray.

“Hey Jason. Hand him a blade please,” Ray spoke.

“Okay,” Jason nodded with a smile. He liked Ray’s initiative and was very happy to get a caring leader who didn’t work for his personal goals and achievements but looked to help out the whole team.

“Now, take the dagger and slash it at the troll’s neck,” Said Ray. He directed everything to the porter and guided him step by step as the porter finally killed the troll after a few minutes.

“Good… now a few more to go till you level up,” Ray said and vanished again. Appearing in his position, he and another toll in his arms as the same scene repeated again.

He did for a dozen times and took an hour to make sure that the porter regained his confidence and was able to kill the troll on his own.

“Now, I won’t help. You kill it on your own,” Ray said and pushed the man forward.

“Okay,” The porter replied. His voice didn’t shake not did he stutter. He felt stronger than ever and was sure to take down the troll.

“Swishhh….slahsh…swishhh,” The porter approached the troll. Observing it closely, he raised his dagger and slashed thrice. His speed increased all of a sudden as he left behind a light trail of silver and finished the troll.

“Plop…” A head fell to the ground and the troll was no more.

“Nice.. That was a nice attack and you even used your ability. Seems like you aren’t as weak as you thought and I saw potential in your ability. Even though it’s a common Speed related ability, it has some sort of mutation and has gotten some added characteristics. Well, lets talk about that later,” Ray said and then turned to the female porter.

The female was very hyped by now and had her hands shaking from excitement. Seeing her fellow porter take down the troll with such ease, her confidence had built up as well and now she wanted to be stronger as well.

“Sighhh…. Strength is the best drug of them all,” Ray thought to himself and called the girl.

He was going to help her as well and then move back to the infirmary. It had been long and he needed to be back there to observe everything.

Also, he felt that something might have happened in his absence and wanted to make sure that everyone was safe.

About an hour later, Ray sighed as the woman had unlocked some sort of energy based ability. Even though it was weak right now, Ray had felt something strong within that energy and had decided to consult the head nurse about it. After all, even she had an energy based ability.
