Although Van said he would take care of Blake. Ray didn't have much confidence in him. Just looking at Van, Ray could tell he was afraid. His whole body was shaking and it looked like his knees were about to buckle any second now.
But this was a first for Ray, someone who was clearly weaker than himself had decided to stand in front of him and try to protect him. The two of them didn't even know each other that well.
"Ha, what a laugh, and now the freak thinks he can do something!" Blake shouted. "I guess it has been a long time since I reminded you about what you had done a year ago."
Then Blake started to move forward at incredible speed.
"Time to remind you who you are freak!" Blake then grabbed Van's head with a single hand and pushed his head down to the floor. "Time to show you hell."
The magic power that Blake had been gathering started to leave his body and slowly enter into Van's. Then as Van's mind went to black, he started to see visions. It was of a blonde female covered in blood smiling at him, wearing the same Roland uniform.
The bloody student walked over to Van.
"What's wrong?" The female voice said.
Then from outside Ray's voice could be heard.
"Van! Van wake up!" Ray shouted, but it was no use.
Ray could sear the fear in Van's eyes as if he was seeing things but Van wasn't conscious.
"Did he use an illusion spell?" Ray thought.
"Hey! What have you done to him?" Ray said as he turned his head towards Blake.
"I thought that freak might have forgotten what happened last year, so I decided to remind him why his life Is hell at this school?"
"What happened last year?" Ray thought.
"As I said, I had to punish him because he didn't know his place." Then Blake lifted his hand which was slightly glowing. "Now it's time for me to punish you so you know your place as well."
Ray clenched his fist doing everything he could do hold back killing Blake right now.
"Maybe there are some horrible memories you wouldn't like to be shown again? With this spell, I can help you remember every painful second of it."
"That's it," Ray mumbled, "He needs to be dealt with. Sc.u.m like him doesn't deserve to live on this planet."
As Ray stepped forward, he started to gather Ki in his fist. A single powerful punch was all it would take.
However, before Ray could get any closer a person shouting from behind was heard.
"What is happening here?"
A young man wearing a professor's robe had appeared named Flynn. He was cleanly shaven and looked just old enough to be a student at the academy, never mind a professor.
"Blake, you know it is forbidden to fight on the school grounds," Flynn said. That's when he spotted Van on the floor still shaking about uncontrollably, still stuck in his vision.
"Hey you quick, help me take him to the medical department!"

Just outside the principal's office, many students were peeping just outside the door. They were interested to hear about a meeting that was currently going on between the new student.
"Now Nes, there have been reports that you jumped off from the third-floor building without any problems, is that true?" Harvey asked with a smile.
"No," Ray replied with a straight face.
"Really? Because there have also been reports that you ran around the campus chasing after Van at incredibly high speeds."
"This is the first time I have heard of such a thing."
"Ha, ha, Yes I thought they couldn't be true," Harvey said laughing.
The students outside were just close enough that they were able to hear the conversation between the two.
"What the, how could he lie so easily, I saw everything with my own eyes."
"Yeah, I saw it too."
Harvey then proceeded to pick up the report that he had been given.
"Of course, these things wouldn't be true, after all, how could someone who has a weak frail sick body like yours be able to do things such as this."
At this moment and time, Ray couldn't help but curse at Lenny for the back story he had given him. Lenny had informed the students the reason for him missing the entire first year at Roland academy, was due to a sickness he had obtained.
"Well please be careful," Said Harvey," We wouldn't your sickness too come back and hurt you again, besides if a low-class student like yourself gets into trouble with an upper-class student it can greatly affect your life," Harvey said.
Was this the principles way of telling him that he would turn a blind eye at whatever the upperclassmen did. Ray had heard that the Upperclassmen got special treatment from the principal because of the potential in power, but to outright do something like this was unheard of.

While Ray was heading back to his room, he continued to look for Van on the way. Something had happened that Blake knew about between him and Van in the first year and Ray needed to find out what it was.
That's when Max came over and spotted Ray.
"Nes! Is it true, I heard that you got into a fight with Blake, what did I tell you about avoiding him at all cost, I told you he was bad news. Anyway, are you hurt?"
"Me, I'm fine but Van," Ray said with a said expression.
"He's dead!" Max said horrified.
"No not dead, don't just go killing him like that."
"But the expression on your face."
"Anyway, I can tell you what happened later, let's go look for him."
The two of them once again started to go around asking student's if they had seen Van anywhere. It took a while as most of the students would avoid the two of them as usual, until they had finally found him inside one of the storage rooms where they had first met.
"What are you doing here?" Van said.
"Van, I want to know, why does Blake call you a Freak?" Ray asked.
