Reincarnated Into A Human? Chapter 89 - Untreatable

Slyvia couldn't help herself as she watched Ray. Tears started to roll down her cheek.

"What's wrong?" Monk asked.

"Can't you see? Ray's not angry, he's sad."

Ray had a feeling in his chest that wouldn't disappear. No matter what he did the feeling seemed to stay there. He originally thought he wanted revenge. That's what he was doing now but why wasn't the feeling going away.

Then Ray realised something. Every time he would start to trust or care for people, the world would torture him in some way. The world had given him a second chance, and through that second chance, he saw how cruel humans truly were. Not just to beasts or dragons but to themselves.

He wanted to trust humans. He wanted to find a place he could call home. If he had been given the chance to just live a peaceful life then everything might have turned out fine. But the world didn't want him to. The world showed him what humans were like. It gave him red hair and he saw the discrimination people gave. Then it tested him again. When he chose to save two lives, he nearly lost his own.

When his father had been infected, no one came to help. Now it seemed like everyone was out to kill him and anyone who got close to him, even Amy who he had only met briefly.

As Ray stood in the arena in silence, the group thought they had been successful in getting through to Ray.

Suddenly Ray pulled on the chain, that was wrapped around on his right hand. Kyle tried to resist but ended up being dragged through the air. As Kyle flew close to him, Ray jumped up and slammed him on the floor with his two fists.

Kyle lay motionless at Ray's feet. Ray slowly bent down and whispered in Kyle's ear,

"You need to take your training more seriously. Focus your Ki."

Martha reacted to the sudden turn of events by firing off three arrows in the air.

Ray not only dodged them but grabbed two of the arrows and threw them towards either side of Martha. If Martha moved, she would be hit by her own arrows. Ray dashed forward and punched Martha in the stomach.

As her body slowly slumped to the ground, Ray whispered.

"Don't hesitate. Predict where I will go, not where I am."

The two twins came charging in at Ray together. Ray imbued his left foot with Ki and smashed the ground, causing pieces of the arena to fly through the air. He punched two of the bigger pieces, launching them forward and they crashed into the twins.

As the twins laid there on the floor, Ray casually walked up to them.

"It's good to be brave but without a plan, you're just throwing your lives away."

The crowd had never seen a student display such dominance in the arena before. They had just seen Ray take out 4 of the best students Avrion Academy had.

"How is this guy not in the top five rankings?"

"The other students must be crazy strong." One of the third-year students said.

Nearly all of the third-year students were staring at Slyvia and her group. If Ray wasn't qualified to be in the top 5 then these 5 here must truly be monsters.

The whole group wanted to dig a hole to hide themselves in. They knew what everyone was thinking but it simply wasn't true. Every single one of them knew Ray was the strongest out of the second years.

If it wasn't for the fact that they wanted to see the outcome of the match, they would have already disappeared.

Sarah was the last one currently standing in the arena. The other four students were too hurt to move. Ray had only hit each of them once causing 20 points of damage. Which wasn't enough to send them away.

Ray slowly walked over to Sarah. He focused the Ki to his fingertips and tapped her on the head four times. As the Bracelet started to glow, a white light surrounded her.

"I'm sorry," Ray consoled.

The announcers were so shocked by the whole event that they hadn't been commentating on anything for the last fifteen minutes of the fight.

"Ladies and Gentleman we have our five contenders going into the next round!"

A ma.s.sive roar started to build up. The whole arena started to shake once more.

The crowd couldn't help but cheer and shout praises. Even if they didn't agree with his early methods, they couldn't help but praise his fighting skills.

"The next round will start in an hour. While we take our time to repair the stadium, please use this time to buy snacks and go to the toilet. You don't want to miss anything. For the next round, we have the Third-year students."

The bracelets started to glow around the five that were still in the arena. After the white light surrounded them, they were all transported to another large hall.

Ray and the others found themselves surrounded by the partic.i.p.ants. Many of them were lying down on the floor with a bed and a medical personal next to them. The Academy was currently healing the contenders.

Even though Ray was practically undamaged from the fight, the medical personal still wanted to take a look at him.

Currently, in the Elders seating area, they were talking about Ray.

"It looks like he might be the boy in the prophecy after all."

"Yes, and did you see his angry outburst? He will bring doom to us all."

"With the right guidance he will save us. Do you want to kick the boy out? That is perhaps the very reason he will try to take us all out in the first place."

The elders carried on to quibble and argue with each other. Then Wilfred had appeared and walked over to the old man.

He whispered to the old man,

"I did as you asked and had a look at the students, it seems you were right. They can no longer gather their Ki. The doctors say it might be temporary but I fear for the worst."

The old man and Wilfred were worried. They needed to do everything in power to avoid anyone catching word of this.
