Beast Evolution

"I still can't sense my Ki," Sofia said.

"There is nothing wrong with that, it takes time so it's not your fault" Ray assured her.

"You don't understand, we aren't much in the archery class, currently I'm the only one who can't sense Ki" Sofia sighed in frustration.

'Ohh, that's why'

"Everyone is already in the next stage of training on how to control Ki, but I'm still behind," Sofia said.

"You would get it eventually Sofia, I told you don't worry," Leia said.

"You are going to get it, just keep practicing, it doesn't happen in a day," Ray said.

"I hope you are right," Sofia said.

"I'm really tired so I'm going to sleep," Ray said.

Ray closed his eyes on his bed, he could still hear his roommate's voice, they were still talking about Ki, Ray didn't listen much before he drifted off to sleep.

Ray woke up feeling energetic unlike last night, he took his bath and wore his clothes, each of the students were given three knight uniform so they can wash them regularly.

Ray thought he would be working at the armory today but Alfred had a different plan for him.

"Today we are going to my home," Alfred said to Ray.

"Your home, to do what Sir" Ray answered with respect.

"To clean" Alfred said.

"I would clean your home" Ray was surprised.

"Yes, next time don't disobey order and run off on your own," Alfred said to Ray.

Ray couldn't do anything he could only comply, he followed Alfred and they both walked outside of the school.

They walked a little before they finally got to his house, it was a medium-sized house that was fairly close to the school.

Alfred smiled and opened the door to his apartment, as soon as the door opened, large amount of dust was everywhere, it seems like he had not used his house for a long time.

"Sir, sorry to ask when was the last time you came home?" Ray said.

"I don't remember, but you should get to work, when you are done meet me on the school ground," Alfred said and left him with the keys.

"Take this, I almost forgot," Alfred said and handed Ray what looked like a napkin.

"Cover your nose with it," Alfred said and left.

"So this is why he said hard labor because he wanted me to clean his home" Ray sighed in frustration and walked in.

He quickly ran outside while coughing because he forgot to wear the napkin.

"I'm no stranger to cleaning, so let's get this over with very quickly"

...

Ray was finally done with the cleaning, he needed to take a bath because he was filthy, he used Alfred's bathroom to take a quick shower after he was done with the cleaning.

Ray locked the front door and started to walk towards the school building when something caught his eye.

"A library, perfect" Ray muttered as he walked towards the library.

The library at the knight academy was free unlike the one in the capital, where you have to pay to go in.

Ray entered the library and saw the difference, the one at the capital was bigger than the one here, Ray walked through each section and looked around.

Fee people were in the library, most of them were checking out books while some of them were reading.

There was nothing here about magic, Ray didn't expect any to be he just wanted to check, he was in the knight academy so he should stick to knights' books.

"There is nothing here containing magic, I'm so bored" Ray heard a female voice.

Ray looked around and finally found the source of the voice, it was coming from a beautiful female with blond hair.

"Hi" the girl spoke as soon as she saw Ray.

"Hi, do I know you?" Ray asked.

"I don't think so," the girl said.

"It seems like I've seen you somewhere before" Ray clicked his tongue as he tried to remember where he had seen her.

"Aren't you the boy who came to the library at the capital?" the girl said.

"Yes, you are the girl who showed me spell books"

"What are you doing here, are you here to see someone?" the girl asked.

"No, I'm a student here" Ray replied.

"Really, I thought you were a mage?"

"No I'm a knight," Ray said.

"Okay"

"What brought you here?" Ray asked.

"I'm here to see my brother," the girl said.

"Is he a student here?"

"No, he's a senior knight, his name is Authur, do you know him?" the girl asked.

"Authur is your brother..."

"Yes," the girl replied.

"Wow, I didn't know he has a sister"

"I'm a mage so we don't get much time to see each other, we are currently on break so I wanted to see him"

"So are you looking for spell books in this library?" Ray asked her.

"Yes, but there are none unfortunately, I forgot I was in the knight academy, we have a ton of spell books in the mage academy"

"Ohh, I was just here to read a little" Ray said.

"What were you planning to read?"

"A little history on the world and on knights" Ray replied.

"So you guys are on break too"

"No, I'm being punished for something I did," Ray told her.

"Really, and your punishment is to come to the library and read books?"

"No, I have some free time so I came here," Ray said.

"Okay, see you later," the girl said and wanted to leave.

"Wait, I didn't get your name," Ray said.

"Ohh, that's right I'm Alice"

"I'm Ray, nice talking to you"

"Bye," the girl waved to Ray before leaving the library.

"There are lots of cute girls in this world, but I already have Lily so I'm okay," Ray said and moved towards the history section.

Ray looked at the books there and saw a scroll among them, Ray picked up the scroll and opened it.

"This is just what I need, a map" Ray said as he looked at the scroll that contained a map of the entire continent.
