Beast Evolution-Chapter 195 195 Duel 2

Ray was holding his blood spears while Matt was with his sword, both of them held real weapons and not the usual wooden type used in training.

"I'm ready" Ray spoke with confidence.

"Okay...here I come," Matt said and dashed towards Ray first.

Ray haven't used Ki since he was training, he wanted to be able to fight without using Ki so he didn't bother to use Ki but now he had infused his Ki in his weapon and legs.

Matt was a little slower than last time but Ray did mind and also launched toward him, both of them met and clashed weapons immediately and it created a small spark.

Matt used his strength to push Ray backward but as soon as Ray moved backward he sidestepped to the right and swung his spear toward Matt.

It felt like Ray knew what was going to happen and had prepared fully but Matt knew Ray was unable to see the future it was just his natural instincts. 𝘧r𝗲𝑒𝔀𝘦𝙗𝓃oν𝑒l.𝐜𝗼m

Matt used both of his hands to hold his sword and blocked Ray's attack aiming for his hands, using his strength he pushed Ray backward once again and he moved backward himself.

? Ray was surprised at Matt's actions, Matt was trying to create space between them but he didn't know the reason so he charged toward Matt.

Ray swung both of his blood spears with ease but immediately Matt went down, Matt didn't bend down instead it was like he lay on the floor.

Ray jumped backward as soon as he saw a sword heading for his legs, after jumping backward then he saw Matt on the ground.

Matt's legs were spread wide and one of his hands was on the floor preventing him from touching the ground while the other hand held his sword tightly.

"He's getting serious" the boys mumbled to themselves.

"Now that Matt is serious this battle would be over quickly," the other boy smirked as they watched.

Matt used his hand which was on the ground to push himself upward, Ray held his spear tightly waiting for him to attack, after the last clash he knew attacking Matt head-on was risky.

Matt bent down a little like he was starting a race, and he sprinted toward Ray like a cheetah chasing an antelope. Ray couldn't react fast enough to block the attack causing the sword to graze a little of his skin.

Before Matt could attack him again Ray rushed towards him, Ray now knew why he was trying to create space, Matt was faster than Ray and when he infuse Ki he could cover the far distance with a small sprint and make his attacks twice as strong because of his running momentum.

Ray swung both of his spears simultaneously toward Matt's stomach, there was no way he could dodge this attack.

*Swoosh*

Ray's jaw dropped when Matt swooped down immediately, lower than where he slashed, immediately Matt used his hands to propel himself forward and head butt Ray right I'm his stomach.

Ray staggered backward before falling to the ground, it felt like his organ was going to come out, Matt's head was as strong as a rock and Ray knew it was Ki.

He didn't expect Matt to be so flexible and agile, his reflexes were top-notch to be able to pull a move like that.

"Are you okay?" Matt asked.

"I- I'm fine, I just need some time," Ray said in a low voice.

"Matt why did you get so serious with a first-year student, I'll admit he's good but not good enough to pump you up"

"W-Why do you think so?" Ray asked as he held his stomach on the ground.

"You are not good enough," the boy said.

"I want to become stronger" Ray shouted still on the ground.

"The train harder why are you telling us, besides don't you have that shadow stuff, why do you need more power"

"To defeat somebody... would you guys be available tomorrow, we should duel," Ray said as he finally sat up.

"After this beating, you still want to duel with us, do you want more beating" the boy smirked.

"Yes, if that would make me stronger, I would accept more duels"

"I like your attitude...this time tomorrow, I'll take you on," the other boy said immediately.

"I didn't get your names except for Matt"

"I'm George and he's Andrew"

"Okay, we'll see tomorrow, I need to rest," Ray said and stood up, "Thanks," he said to Matt.

Ray held his stomach as he was still feeling a twinge there, he needed to use the toilet quickly so he walked faster to the dorm.

"That boy seems weird...I mean he wasn't afraid of us and after that beating, he still wants to duel" George spoke.

"Have you forgotten what happened yesterday, we ran because we were afraid of him...after seeing that, there's no way he would be afraid of us" Andrew said.

"He quite skilled, we weren't at his level when we were first-year students," Matt said.

"Yeah and I wonder who he wants to defeat"

"Maybe a rival, what if there is someone stronger than him among the first-year students"

"We'll see"

...

Ray breathe heavily as he came out of the toilet after emptying his stomach, close to the bathroom there was a smaller room where students take dumps.

Ray glanced through his status screen, he was keeping a close tab on his stats so he could see the increase with training he was doing.

If his stats weren't increasing he would stop and switch to a different type of training, his strength added another 3 points and Ray had a sly smile on his face.

His stomach wasn't back to normal but he staggered to his room and lay on his bed, all his roommates were asleep so he went to sleep after a while.

Morning came rather quickly and Ray was still feeling sleepy, he was glad his stomach was now at rest and today was supposed to be a free day but he had magic training.

"At least I have time to sleep a little" Ray mumbled.

"What do you mean you have time...today is a free day you can sleep all you want," Ivan said from his bed above.

"I have training" Ray replied in a low voice, he was already falling asleep again.

"You push yourself too much...Ray... Ray" Ivan called but no reply came so he looked down at Ray's bed and found his eyes closed.

"He didn't even attend training yesterday, how come he's so tired" Ivan muttered under his breath.

"Hey babe" Ivan called in a low voice just enough for Sofia to hear.

Sofia looked towards Ivan with a smile on her face, since Ray and Leia returned they were very careful not to raise suspicions but they already knew about them.

"We should go out, and visit somewhere nice," Ivan said.

"Okay, but not this morning we should go later in the afternoon when no one is around," Sofia said.

"You guys should be quieter" Leia shrugged and turned on her bed.

Ivan and Sofia who thought she was still asleep froze on their bed without speaking again.

"Why did you stop, you guys should be quieter I didn't tell you to stop, I'm not the one holding your love," Leia said.

"W-What love...there is no love" Sofia muttered softly.

"I'm trying to get some sleep, I've got a lot on my plate so you guys should shut it" Ray yawned loudly.

"Peasant..." Sofia grumbled.

"You have a lot on your plate...what does that means, you aren't eating or holding a plate," Ivan said.

Ray who was half asleep couldn't help but chuckle slightly at what Ivan said.
