Chapter 51.1
I waited in front of the waiting room and soon enough the door opened and Ray came out.
“Yo.”
Ray’s smile seemed a bit troubled after seeing me and Misa.
“I thought you might turn a blind eye Arnos.”
“I was going to. Whatever your circumstances are, you have decided not to rely on me and it would have been rude to ask, however, my subordinate wants to know.”
Misa walked in front of me and spoke to Ray.
“Has the royal faction said something to you?”
“Who knows? Perhaps they offered me enough money to last a lifetime or perhaps they recommended me to be a demon emperor.”
“……I don’t believe you to be a person that would move for such things.”
Ray laughs.
“You overestimate me. You should be careful with that. A lot of people say crap that the world wants to hear.”
Misa doesn’t seem convinced by Ray’s words.
“….I know that. But you Ray-san…………you aren’t like that.”
“We’ve not long met. I wouldn’t trust me that much.” Ray says with a gentle smile.
Doesn’t seem like he’s going to say what his real intention is.
Misa bites her lip in vexation. Looks like she’s got nothing more to say.
“The Lognoss magic clinic was built by Elio Roodwell using his own money so it’s basically a facility belonging to the royal faction.”
“Pretty much.” Ray answers without breaking his smile.
“Is your mother healthy?”
“Yeah. Like I said before it’s nothing serious. She’s getting better.”
“I’d like to meet her at least once.”
“She’ll be leaving the hospital soon. You can meet her then.”
Fumu. Is that so.
“That reminds me. After looking at the upcoming matches it seems like we’ll be meeting in the finals.”
“It’s a shame we can’t fight at our full power.”
Ray looks at my sword.
“You might not be able to feel any magic power but this sword was forged by a true master craftsman. It’s power rivals that of your demon sword so you should challenge me without holding back.”
Ray laughs.
“Really?”
“Aah.”
Ray starts heading to the audience seats.
“Ray-san…errrm….”
“Sorry. I’m part of the royal faction now. Seem’s like we won’t be able to get along any more.”
Ray walks past us then stops.
“Oh, I forgot something Arnos.”
“What?”
Ray looks over his shoulder.
“…..I’ll kill you.”
I just laughed.
“If you want to kill me then you’d better prepare yourself for death .”
“It’s not a threat. I’m already prepared for death.”
“Hou. If you’re already prepared then want to try?”
As I finished speaking I disappeared and reappeared behind Ray.
“I can see you Arnos.”
Ray swings Initeio around in a circular strike.
Although I’ve applied anti-magic and magic barriers his sword easily slashes through them and bites into my left arm.
