My Dragon System

Chapter 353 Jack's request



Side by side, the two students sat nervously since they were told to sit on the large table. Never in their dreams did they think that they would be able to sit with the leaders of the Redwings. Maybe in a few years' time, but not right now.

Ray was the first to speak as everyone sat down.

"You remember how I told you that I would make you stronger, right? Well, we are here to discuss that as a group." Ray explained. "Truthfully, you two were the only ones that are compatible with what I'm about to tell you. Now, I am not at all forcing you into this. In the end, it is your decision whether you will agree to go through this process or not."

Martha then explained to the two of them what they planned to do, and also about how she had gone through this beasting process. She described everything in detail, including how painful it was for her. Still, all the while she demonstrated the immense powers that she had received from the beasting process, the two students were slowly roped-in. After listening to both the pros and cons, it was time for both of the students to make a decision.

"I'll do it!" Flynn immediately said. "I made a promise, and I will keep it. I will do whatever you wish to happen, King Ray." Flynn answered.

The difference in attitude was quite amazing, even Kyle who was sitting on the table was surprised. Flynn had always been quite c.o.c.ky, being that he was the best of the Black shash knights, and it was hard to get him to listen most of the time.

However, Wendy was still hesitant about the whole thing. In a way, the process required her to give up her humanity, but her thoughts were filled with what happened to the town she was once in with her little brother.

"So, what are our chances of surviving this process?" Wendy asked.

"I believe that with me by your side, I can increase that chance to 90 percent," Bliss replied.

She thought about it long and hard. She wanted to get stronger, yet at what cost? Ten percent was low, but if she was to die, then what would happen to her brother?

"If I decide to go through with this...." She said while looking at Ray. "Can you promise me one thing? Will you look after my little brother."

"Of course, in fact, I plan to make a special beast unit. Those who'll opt to join will be given free accommodations and be treated on the same level as the Redwing members here, such as Sloth and Badger." Ray replied.

With an offer like this, it was hard for her to refuse. Right now, the city looked after both of them, but with the small space that was available, they were constantly being moved around the city to make room for the others who had immigrated.

"I'll do it!" She said with conviction.

"Well, that should bring us to our next topic," Slyvia said. "Bliss and Lenny are scheduled to go to the shadow continent soon. We are hoping that they will be able to clear the land and expand our area out. However, we are unable to send a large group. We are sure the Empire is keeping an eye on us. If they see any large movements form our army, I'm afraid they will make their move while we are still a little unstable. That's why we will send a small team out. Harry, Kyle, Wendy, Flynn, Martha, and Bliss with Lenny will head out."

Sylvia proceeded to meet the eyes of each of her comrades. Thereafter, she continued the briefing.

"There are two objectives to this. While the group is clearing the land bit by bit, you will also look for compatible beasts to go with your skill. According to Lenny, this is one of the most important things in the process. This way, we can kill two birds with one stone. I know you two are young and it will be your first mission, but the Master knights will be there to protect you."

Although the two were Nervous at the same time, they were exited. It felt like they were finally a part of the Redwing army.

As the meeting went to an end, the group was dismissed and everyone was free to rest for the night. But just as ray was about to leave, he felt Jack touch his shoulder.

"Ray, I need to speak to you about something. "

Once everyone had left, Jack and Ray sat down on the table together. Ray noticed that Jack didn't quite feel like himself. His facial expression wasn't one of happiness like it would usually be, and this honestly worried Ray a bit.

Jack was one of his most loyal followers. He had been with him throughout his entire journey ever since he met him.

"Ray, I know the whole city has a lot going on now, but I would like to make a request," Jack said with a serious look on his face. "I would like to request for personal leave. Once I have dealt with my problems, I promise I will come back."

"Oh," Ray replied. "What do you plan to do?"

"I want to go back to my hometown of Zrey. I need to find out why I have this power."

Jack had gone to Randin to ask if the Harpy core could be used for anything, yet unfortunately, it couldn't be used for anything other than a bow. Hearing this news, he felt disappointed. However, Randin offered to purchase the king tier crystal for him. When creating the bow, he realized he could increase its power with two crystals.

Jack agreed, but when he asked if there were any weapons he could purchase that would suit him, there didn't seem to be any at all. His original weapon had come from his hometown after all.

Once he left Randin, he decided to head to Lenny. The curiosity of his hometown had only grown ever since he came back to the academy. Withal, when he asked Lenny about it, Lenny wasn't able to reveal any more information than he had already had done. He also had never heard fo the town called Zrey.

With all these things, Jack had finally made the decision. If he wanted to get stronger and help Ray fight against the shadow, he needed to find out about himself first. He never knew when he could get the chance, and now seemed like the perfect time.

Jack explained everything that was going through his head - His feelings and the mystery that was in his head.

"Is it okay if I leave? Of course, if you don't want me to, then I will stay here. I promised you after all, and I'm not a deserter."

Ray sat there thinking for a while, which worried Jack a little, but whatever Ray decided to say, he would accept his decision.

"You can go." Ray said, "But there's one condition. You need to bring me with you."
