Ray who is on his way to his home, Remembering the beautiful human girl. The beautiful blackish hair and wearing the academy uniform. After 15 minutes of walking.
Ray finally reach his home, His father already prepared the dinner for them. Ray greet his father and go straight to the shower, After he done taking a shower he quickly rush to the kitchen.
His father who is already on the table waiting for Ray smile at Ray and ask how's academy. Ray answer it with an excited tone and told his father about everything and one question suddenly silence his father.
"Father, Is it possible for me to fall in love with a person of another races?"
His father massage his forehead, He knows that marrying someone from the other races is a taboo. He afraid that his son will end up like him can't meet and contact each other.
"I hate to say it son but, If you want to marry someone from the other races you must be getting ready to get punish by the Great Michael."
Upon hearing his father words, Ray wonder what if he is strong enough to confront the Great Michael, Will he able to lift the taboo up.?
"But father, What if I'm strong enough to confront Michael, Will I be able to lift up this taboo.?"
Saying it with a lot of confidence, His father can't hold it but to smirk. He knows Ray never give up on his dreams. He can't say no to Ray and agreee with the statement. But Michael is not someone you can fight toe-to-toe.
His king's aura is the strongest between all the races, The only races that can fight him equally is the demon races. Before the other races exist, There was a war between Angel and demon.
Michael lead the angel army, While Lucifer lead the demon army. It was an intense battle, But the outcome of the war was decided after Michael stab Lucifer with his holy sword. Lucifer who were the king of the demon army lost.
He promise that one day, He will declare war with Michael again in the future. So victory is assured for the angel but Michael also sustain some heavy damage from Lucifer, Leaving a big scar on his chest.
But Julius knows that Ray is something different, Like he is bless with s power. He put his faith on Ray and hope him can become the strongest.
"Um father in 2 weeks we will have a mock battle with the human races"
Julius confused with Ray's word a human? Mock batlle? He didn't know that human has evolve to a new level.
"Um sorry father, Actually huma races has develop their skill to a new level, So they're currently train for the close quarter combat battle and not relying too much on mana"
Just as he predicted, But zombie got nothing to improve but zombie specialty is toughness zombie can sustain some heavy damage and that makes zombie special.
"So son do you want some training before the battle begins?"
"Yes father"
"So get ready we will train now"
Ray is so excited after hearing his father want to train him right now, But he thoughts that his father gonna teach him some sword techniques.
"Ok start with 500 swings"
"Huh?"
Ray can't believe that he will do the same training again today, He's upset why would his father told him to do the same training as yesterday.
"Father I already do this training yesterday"
"well can you destroy the dummy in 1 swing?"
What 1 swing? How can someonede destroy the a dummy with 1 hit and with a wooden sword. As thoughts rumbling inside Ray's head his father calmly approach the dummy and concentrate his breathing.
HIs father ready, All he need to do is slash the dummy. For Ray it's impossible that's why he didn't convince until his father show it.
"Haa!"
Ray's eye widen, The strike was fast he can't follow it with his eye, But the dummy has been destroy. So this is his father pure swordmanship, But although with his swordmanship he still lost to a demon.
That is the proof that demon is a races we can't underestimated. Ray also think that the human races must also develop this kind of training. Without further a do, Ray start to swing his sword.
"You know son, if you can master the basic you can master anything"
Ray can only nod and continue his training, While his father watching from the side. After completed the 500 swings Ray report it to his father, Next his father teach Ray on how to parry the incoming sword attack and everything that Ray want to know about the swordsmanship.
Meanwhile on the academy field, Zed warming up for the training that he do for himself. He's happy to hear that Ray and Ryo is training with their father, He can't only smile because he glad that his friends didn't have through what he's been through.
"Alright i'm ready"
He start to destroy the dummy that he prepared a few minutes ago, With his speed he manage to destroy all the dummy. Someone then appear out of nowhere and started to clap his hand.
"Who are you!?"
"Long time no see Zed"
It appear that the figure is the principal Miguel, He was wondering where re the noises come from. So he try to investigate and it turn to be that it was Ray.
"So why are you here"
"I see so you're training alone then let me be your trainer"
"Pft, Suit yourself"
Miguel smile and release his aura towards Zed, It's the same aura that he use to shut down Zed. Zed are ready for the impact but this time he's not kneeling down, He trying to stand but his leg started to tremble.
"Alright you last long enough then the first time we meet, So I will train you no worry alright for the first training..."
So Zed train with Miguel until he worn out.
Meanwhile Ryo with his father already finish the training, They both were tired so they sit under the tree and start talking.
"So you've a friend now son?"
"Yes father two friends"
"I see so that two must be your best friends right?"
"Yes"
His father glad to hear that his son has a friend, Ryo also never had a friend like Ray but he once got bulled by the person he thoughts his friends. He got punch, Starting that day he never he met Ray.
He's changing, It is his true friends now that value friendship. After the conversation end he told his father that he want to continue their training tomorrow.
His father nod and also want to rest because they have been training for two hours straight.
