Beast Evolution-Chapter 188 188 Dark Cloak
Selena raised her right hand and a circle formed on her hands, slowly some lines start to form and after some seconds the circle was complete.
"This is a magic circle," Ray said.
"Yeah, aren't you a mage, why do you sound surprised, study the magic circle and learn to draw it," Selena told him.
"How will this help me, isn't a magic circle used for teleportation," Ray said immediately.
"What are you saying, wait...draw the magic circle for your Ice spear," Selena said in a serious tone.
"I can't draw magic circles"
"What!! you can't draw a magic circle, how is that possible"
"Is that supposed to be important?" Ray asked.
"How are you able to cast a spell if you can't draw the magic circle of the spell"
"I don't know, I'm just able to cast the spell"
"If you are joking, it's time to stop, a spell can only be cast if the mage memorizes the particular spell's magic circle, if you can't draw magic circles how are you able to cast spells"
'The system must be doing all the work, when studying the spell book for [Ice shield] I saw a magic circle drawn but I didn't pay any attention to it, even when I created the spell [Ice dome] I didn't even need a magic circle, I can't possibly start learning one now' Ray thought.
"I'm asking you a question if you can't draw magic circles, how were you able to cast spells"
"I don't know, I looked at the spell book and learned the steps, then I was able to cast the spell"
"You didn't learn the magic circle and you were able to cast the spell," Selena nodded.
Selena placed her hand on the ground and a magic circle was drawn on the sand, she walked towards the door with an angry look on her face.
"Learn the magic circle," Selena said before walking outside of the training ground.
'This doesn't make any sense, what would happen even if I learn the magic circle, would I be able to cast the spell' Ray wondered but he looked at the circle anyway.
"How is he able to cast a spell without learning to draw magic circles, then how does he cast the spell, I need to learn more about this boy" Selena mumbled.
Ray looked at the magic circle on the ground for some time, soon he began to feel dizzy and then finally fell asleep on the ground.
Selena came back to find him asleep on the floor, "Ray..." she called.
"Huh! why are you calling my name" Ray mumbled and lay on the ground.
"Stand up" Selena shouted and Ray's eyes opened immediately.
"I'm very sorry, I'm just really tired" Ray muttered.
"Yeah, I know, you can go back, rest well we'll continue tomorrow," Selena said to Ray.
"Thank you ma'am," Ray said before walking towards the door.
"This kid would be of good use, I still don't understand how he can cast a spell without knowing how to draw a magic circle"
Magic circles are the most important part of spellcasting, when a mage wants to cast a spell, the mage draws an image of the magic circle in his head before casting the spell.
When a person awakens their magic attribute at the age of 15, they are first taken to the magic academy and learn about magic circle for some time, same as basic training for knights, but different because it takes 2 years.
They are taught different magic circles for different spells, they are taught how to create magic circles for a spell and how to create a spell.
"Maybe because he's a beast, but he said he was human before but I still don't understand him, but I know he won't cause trouble, we'll continue tomorrow so I can see more" Selena walked out of the training ground, and locked the door.
She then proceeded to the room that was kept aside for her, she was currently in the capital and this was just her clone, her clone was capable of transferring information to her through telepathy no matter how far apart they may be.
Everywhere was already dark as Ray walked back to the dorm, he was feeling sleepy already so he only concentrated on going back.
"Hey, aren't you supposed to be inside," a voice said.
Ray turn sideways and saw three boys coming towards him, they were all wearing normal clothing and not training clothes like he was.
"I'm going back," Ray said and continued walking.
"What!! can you believe this guy" one of them said.
"Hey"
"What is wrong, I said I'm going back, is something wrong" Ray shouted, he was angry because they were obstructing him.
"Do you think we are your mates, we are third-year students you punk, you should show us respect" the students snorted.
"Please I'm really tired, I've been training and running around since morning, and I need to sleep, can we do this some other time" Ray sneered and wanted to move forward but a hand held him.
"I told you to..." before Ray could finish what he was saying he was punched.
Ray fell to the ground and his sleepy eyes quickly cleared away, he touched his lips and they were bleeding slightly. Ray was angry beyond control, he hated bullies more than anything in his life.
"Why did you hit me," Ray said as he stood up.
"Look at this punk, we hit you what are you going to do about that, you better apologized and walked away"
"I should apologize... Huh! you really want me to apologize, okay... I'm very sorry, I won't try that again" Ray bow his head.
"That's right, stop misbehaving and move along" the boys turned around and started to walk away.
*Slash*
"Aarrgh" the three boys screamed as they fell to the ground.
Ray removed one of his blood spears and slashed the three of their legs at once and they all fell to the ground.
"You know what I hate the most, Bullies..." Ray shouted. f𝓇𝘦ℯ𝙬𝑒𝐛n𝐨νe𝙡.c𝑜𝗺
The three of them stood up despite the pain and blood on their legs, they looked at Ray with bloodshot eyes, ready to tear him apart. 𝗳r𝗲𝙚w𝐞𝚋𝘯𝚘ѵ𝗲l.𝑐om
"How did he get that weapon, that wasn't with him earlier" the boys questioned.
"You should know, I'm letting you guys go, I'm really tired and I would love to beat the crap but I'm tired, so we should call quits before I mistakenly kill one of you," Ray said without a hint of fear in his eyes.
It was night time so all the knights were either asleep or in bed, each night upper-class students are given the job of patrolling the academy, and this night it was these three boys that were in charge.
"You think you can take any of us, you took us by surprise with the weapon but now you are going to regret it," the boy said and rushed towards Ray.
Ray wasn't going to fight them seriously because if he did he could kill them but he soon regretted his decision.
Ray stood still as the boy rush toward him, the others stood still and didn't join him as if they were convinced that he couldn't lose.
Ray held his blood spear tightly and swung it towards the boy as soon as he came close but the boy's reflex was beyond relief.
The boy managed to dodge Ray's spear at such close range by bending down, before Ray could turn his spear again he was given an uppercut that sent him in the air.
Ray landed with a loud thud on the ground and his spear fell from his hands, the boy carried Ray's spear and toss it away before picking him up from the ground.
"You think we are jokes right, you think mere first-year students can beat us because of the training you have been getting, I haven't had time to train in months because we're busy fighting beasts all day long" the boy shouted.
"Have you ever come across a beast before, you would piss your pants if you come across one, so you better learn your place punk" the boy shouted before letting go of Ray.
"Hahahaha" Ray laughed uncontrollably as the boy dropped him on the ground, the boys were surprised at his actions but they walked away.
"You guys picked a fight with the wrong person" Ray shouted.
The boys angrily looked back but were shocked when they saw a black shadow covering Ray's body.
