Chapter 29 Lily

"I'm sorry," Ray said in a small voice,

"If you are sorry, maybe you should get your hands off my butt," the girl shouted while glaring at him, ready to slap him again. Looking down, Ray saw his hands holding onto her butt,

"Ohh, sorry," Ray apologized and quickly removed his hands.

Ray stood up quickly and turned away from her,

"Were you dreaming about having sex?" she asked him, the question ringing in Ray's head.

"No," he shouted quickly, 'shit, I answered too fast' he thought while dread filled his face.

"So you were dreaming about sex, with who, me!",

"no, not you!" Ray answered in shame,

"pervert."

"The carriage will be here soon. Get ready," she said, standing up from the ground,

"Okay."

She was startled by Ray's little wolf and moved back a little.

"Who owns that?" she asked, observing the little puppy sleeping peacefully on the ground.

"He's mine."

"How did you tame it? Are you a tamer?" she asked with excitement in her voice.

"Well, I really don't know, I just helped it, and it followed me," Ray replied.

"Wow, tamers are extraordinarily rare" she bent down to observe the wolf closely,

"rare, hmm..."

"Are you going to join the magic academy in the capital?",

"magical academy!!" Ray said, clearly surprised.

"Tamers are mages. If you can manipulate mana, then you should join the magic academy to train your skills," she told him.

"Really, but you said you are joining the knight academy."

"Yes, I can't manipulate mana, so I can't become a mage, even though my mother was a powerful fire mage."

"Your mum was a powerful mage. Then you can tell her to teach you," Ray suggested.

Immediately after Ray said that her mood changed, and the brightness on her face disappeared and was replaced by anger,

"my mother is dead. A beast killed her on one of her quests".

"I'm very sorry," Ray said.

"My mother was powerful. I knew that. So how would a beast just kill her along with 13 other people."

"13 people at the same time!!" Ray repeated in shock.

"The deaths were not ordinary, and I know it. So I'm going to the knight academy to get stronger and investigate what really happened," she declared.

She was determined, and Ray could see it on her face,

"I'm also going to join the knight academy," Ray said, breaking the silence.

"Really, we can join together," she said happily.

"Uhmm, I don't really know your name," Ray said in a small voice, like he was scared.

"Oh, that's right, I'm Lily and you,"

"I'm Ray."

Ray took his bath while Lily played around with Ray's pet wolf. She honestly seems to like the wolf.

Ray was done bathing and dressing up as he walked toward Lily in front of her apartment.

"I haven't really noticed, but she is incredibly gorgeous," Ray mumbled to himself. She had a flawless figure and wore tight black warrior clothes that hugged all her curves. Her black hair swayed as she happily played with the little wolf.

"What I'm I thinking" Ray muttered as he reached here.

"We should leave now before the carriage move," she said.

"So you are not coming back to your house?" Ray asked.

"No, the academy provides you with food, clothes, and a place to stay if you are accepted."

"Do they reject people?" Ray asked, concerned.

"Yes, of course, you must pass a test before being accepted into the academy."

"What kind of test."

"That's the problem. It changes every time," Lyli told him as they walked away from her apartment.

"Shit, I forgot something," Ray cursed,

"where? at my house?" She asked, concerned as ray sprinted away.

"No, give me a minute," Ray said as he ran towards the bushes,

"what's that about, strange..."

Ray ran into the bushes and looked back to make sure that Lily was not seeing him,

*swoosh*

Both of Ray's blood spears appeared in his hands,

"ha, I thought they were gone," Ray sighed, and he quickly left the bushes to join Lily again.

"I am back. Let's go," Ray said as he reached her.

"Huh, what are those?" Lily asked.

"They are my spear."

"Do you know how to use them?" Lily asked, thinking Ray was not a fighter but a mage,

"I do, " Ray laughed.

"We made it in time," Lily said, relieved as they arrived at where the carriages were. Two carriages were outside with the riders on top. One of the carriages was occupied by a merchant.

He used the carriage to transport himself and his goods. Lily paid for the carriage for herself and Ray.

"You are costing me extra," Lily told Ray,

"I'm going to pay you back,"

"How?" she asked.

"Well, what job can be done here to make money."

"You can either be an adventurer, a farmer, or a royal knight if you get selected," Lily said.

"An adventurer, that interesting," Ray mumbled.

"We are going to the capital," Lily told the rider of the second carriage.

"Okay," the rider spoke, Lily removed some silver coins from a small bag and gave them to the rider, and both ray and Lily entered the carriage along with his pet.

The carriage contained four seats, and lily paid for two, one guy and a girl later occupied the other two, and the journey to the capital started.

"Are you a tamer?" that was the first question the guy asked when he saw the wolf on Ray's lap.

"Maybe," Ray answered,

"oh, it's really rare for someone to be a tamer," the guy said,

"what are you going to the capital to do?" the girl asked them.

"I'm gonna join the knight academy," Lily replied.
