While riding on Noir's back, Ray had long lost the two Dark Guild members chasing him. They seemed to have given up and decided to head back to the arena. As Ray went through the city, he noticed there were a few attacks here and there around the city but nowhere near the number of Dark Guild members that had gathered at the arena.
Whatever they were looking for it seemed like it had something to do with the arena. Everything else was almost a distraction to get the knights to spread out far and thin.
Before heading straight to Avrion Academy, Ray decided to make a stop at the martial arts hall. The place was rather quiet, as most knights had gone to either the arena to help out, or back to the academy for cover. The rest were helping where they could at the areas that had been attacked.
