Beast Evolution-Chapter 182 182 Mini Tournament

A loud bang woke Ray from his sleep, he yawned weakly before looking around, he stretched his hands and went back to sleep.

Another loud bang woke him up and this time he raised his head immediately and his head collided with a cold metal platform.

"Ouch..." Ray groaned weakly and looked upward.

Then he remembered that he was back at the academy, and he was in a bunk bed and Ivan was on top.

Ivan climbed down and started to wear his training clothes, Ray was still feeling sleepy and his head was currently in pain so he laid down and continued sleeping.

"Hey Ray, you have to be up for morning training" Ivan shouted.

"M-Morning training... I'm still sleepy, you can go ahead" Ray said.

"If you are late for morning training, the penalty is to run around the field..." Ivan told him.

"Run around the field. W-What! run around the field..." Ray quickly jumped out of bed immediately.

"Bye" Ivan quickly dashed out of the room leaving Ray alone.

Ray didn't have any clothes to wear apart from the ones he was wearing, when he was going to the capital, he took the clothes and they were all burnt and now he doesn't have any training clothes.

Ray looked back and saw a bag by his bed, he reached for the bag and opened it. A total of three training clothes were inside the bag.

Ray looked around the room and there was a total of four bags including the one he saw.

'If they are four bags, that means this one is mine'

Ray took one of the training clothes and changed into it, he quickly rushed towards the training ground.

Ray came out of the building and the students were already in training, every morning they usually train before starting group classes.

Each day different knights were in charge of overseeing the training, the training was the usual basic training so all the students had gotten used to the routine.

"Are you just waking up?" the knight asked.

"I'm very sorry Sir, I didn't..."

"Don't give me excuses, you won't be pardoned next time" the knight cut Ray off.

Ray joined the students in strength training, the strength training involves lifting, pushing, and leg training.

Ray wanted his hands to get back to normal so he could use a weapon without having drawbacks. The student's morning routine was finally over and they all went to the dining hall for breakfast.

Time for the sword class training was finally here, the students were discussing with themselves about the difficult training they had been undergoing.

The weather was friendly today, the sun was covered but the weather wasn't as cold as other days, the students didn't put on their coats just their training clothes.

"Huh!" the first student that walked into the sword class building was shocked and the students all looked to find out the reason.

All the students that looked were equally shocked as they found Sir Jake sitting down on a chair waiting for them to arrive.

"Hey, something is wrong..."

"I know right, Sir Jake is waiting for us..."

"Today would be difficult, Sir Jake is always late...why is he here early" Ivan sighed.

"Today training is going to be very difficult, so you should prepare yourselves," Jake said. 𝑓𝚛𝚎ℯ𝘸𝙚𝘣𝚗𝘰νeƖ.c𝒐𝐦

All the students mumbled and complained but Jake didn't care, he pointed over to one part of the building and told all the students to pick wooden swords.

After all the students took a wooden sword each, they all stood with their chests up and waited for Sir Jake to tell them about today's training. Yesterday they lifted rocks, maybe they would practice something else.

"Today we're going to conduct a mini tournament among the sword class," Jake said.

"Sir...when you say mini tournament, you mean like dueling ourselves right?" a girl asked.

"Yes, that's what I mean"

"That is very nice, we love that idea" the students were glad about Jake's proposition.

"With the tournament coming up, I would like for you guys to participate and try to defeat the second-year and third-year students," Jake told them.

"But Sir, do we really stand a chance against them?"

"Yes...with the training you have been receiving, you are supposed to be able to beat a second-year or possibly a third-year student," Jake said.

The students were really pleased to hear what Sir Jake said, with the tournament in sight the students were a little on the edge thinking about it.

Even though they wouldn't be able to participate in the All kingdom tournament, the knight academy tournament was where they get to showcase their skills to other knights.

The battles would take place in the training ground where all the knights would be watching, so if a student performs well he would catch the eyes of many knights, and hopefully when that student graduates their chances of becoming a Royal knight would increase.

"So how many of you are participating in the tournament?" Jake asked.

The students participating in the tournament raised their hands and Jake nodded his head and told them to drop their hands.

"Ray why didn't you raise your hand, aren't you participating in the tournament?" Jack asked him.

"No" Ray answered.

"Huh! this is unlike you, you are always the first to rush into things like this, what discouraged you"

"I want to participate, it's just that there is an issue, that's why" Ray inhaled sharply.

"I thought you would loved to beat up some upperclassmen and show them that we're stronger, but don't worry I'm going to do that for you" Jack smirked.

"Beating senior students would be surprising and many knights would quickly take an interest in you, so I'm going to do that" Jack continued.

"I also want to participate but something happened that why," Ray said.

"What happened?" Jack asked.

"When the capital was attacked, the senior knights...shit the senior knights told me to come see them in the morning, I totally forgot..."
