Chapter 240 - The Queen's Request

Ray was waiting to hear the Queen's request, even Jack was sitting there silently nervous about what she was about to ask of him. If it was something the queen couldn't do then it must have been a big task.

"It is to do with my youngest son," Liz said. "He too at the moment attends Roland academy and has been a student from last year. To put it simply he isn't fitting in at school."

Liz then raised her hand and the white-robed man who stood by her side placed a pile of doc.u.ments on the table.

"Of course, I care for my son and have had an investigation take place about his current situation. He has only been at the academy for a year and I can't imagine what has happened in that academy." Liz said as she looked down, her face filled with sorrow.

"But for some reason, my son is being treated as an outcast, the other students are avoiding him and there have been several cases where he has been rushed to the hospital."

"But isn't he your son, who would be crazy enough to make him a target?" Ray asked.

"Well you see, there are several noble children who attend the academy. Some of them who wield great power in the army and have great influence. Not only that but the academy isn't under the direct control of Alure kingdom. Outsiders are not allowed to interfere and that includes me. Also, it seems he is hiding the fact that he is part of Royalty to his fellow classmates."

Liz then looked up and looked Ray directly in the eye.

"My request is a simple one, please make sure life at the academy is an easy one for my son. I originally sent him to the academy with the goal of having a normal life and that is all that I wish for him." Said Liz. "Please protect him."

After making her request clear the queen could no longer stay at the guildhall any longer. She was escorted away and left doc.u.ments for Lenny and the others to look over. Once the group had decided whether to accept their request or not, Lenny was to contact her the same way he did before.

"Lenny, what information did you give to the queen about me?" Ray asked.

"I simply said that you were a powerful magician for your age that wished to learn more at Roland, she knows nothing about the Divine being giving you a task, nor does she know that you are the current leader at Avrion."

"I remember you saying they were powerful mages at the academy, with just my magic abilities will I be able to handle them?"

"Relax, the dangerous ones are the teachers and guards inside the academy, the children in the school haven't even broken through yet."

"Broken through?" Ray asked confused.

"What you don't even know that, what kind of mage are you?" Lenny sighed. "When a mage breaks through that means they have been able to ascend to the next level. Mages are categorized into eight different power levels but on top of this, they can breakthrough. They are then able to harness even more of the world's natural mana around them, to give them a huge increase in power, sometimes even changing their form and appearance. With your magic skills, I thought you would have already broken through."

Although the Skills Ray had shown were that of a high tier magician, Ray had no clue about Mages and this was the first time he had heard any information about them. Mages were rare in the world and even then, they were heavily concentrated at Roland academy.

The only mage that Ray had ever fought against was Morfran and the only other ones he had seen were Lenny and Slyvia's brothers. Ray had a thought wondering if when he fought against Morfran whether or not he had broken through. If he hadn't it was a scary thought to think how strong he would be when he did. 

Lenny then picked up the report and started to read through it.

"It seems like you will be transferred over as a level 6 magician. That's two levels down from the highest mage you can be." Lenny then handed Ray a piece of paper.

The paper contained the academy logo on top. It had his student name, age down as 16 and his ability type which said Fire.

"What is this?" Ray asked, "I'm not sixteen and I don't really have the ability of fire."

"Can't you just use your transform skill to appear younger, besides your barley older than sixteen in the first place. Although it would best to change your hair colour. We can't have the academy recruiting you into their special Red-haired saint task force." Said Lenny. "And about the ability, most mages aren't like me or you. They can only perform one type of ability, I've seen you perform ice and fire so I flipped a coin and told Liz to put fire down."

"So have you decided what you want to do?" Jack asked.

"We still have a year before the battle with Gary and I need to find the Divine Being in the academy, doing something like this shouldn't be too hard," Ray replied.

Although Ray didn't say it, he was quite interested in what was happening at the academy, perhaps what was currently happening to the Queen's son had also happened to Amy. While he was investigating into this matter he would also look into Amy's matter.

Ray then proceeded to pick up the doc.u.ments that Lenny had left out on the table. It included a detailed report of what had been happening to her son at school, at least all the information the queen was able to obtain.

Then on the last page was a picture of her son. When seeing him Ray instantly recognized him. It was the same person who was in Ray's vision form the Divine being. The same person the Divine being told him to go look for and hand over the crystal.
