Ray continued to chase after Van through the crowds of people and the streets of Roland academy and it was only attracting the eyes of more and more people witnessing the chase between the two.

"What the hell?

" Ray thought

"Why is this guy so fast, I'm actually trying to catch up to him but the distance isn't' closing.

"

Ray was currently using Ki to enhance the speed in his legs but he wasn't giving it his all. He didn't want to stand out too much from the students watching.

"All right then, I'll just have to use a bit more.

"

As Ray increased the amount of Ki so did his speed and when he got closer, he reached his hand out to touch Van's shoulder, but as Van turned around and saw Ray catching up, Van once again increased his speed.

However, while Van was running, he still held the fruit basket that he had received as a gift from the principal.

The increase in speed caused an apple to fall out of the basket and hit Ray right in the face exploding on impact.

That's when Van suddenly stopped.

"Oh, I'm sorry I didn't mean to.

"

"Sorry!

" Ray said,

"Don't use that word unless you mean it, just why are you running away from me in the first place?

"

"Well you started running after me, so I naturally started running away.

"

"What? That makes no sense, you were the one who started running first.

"

As Van was speaking, he started to look around, he noticed that they were now near the upper-class tier buildings. That's when he spotted three students sitting next to each other on a nearby bench and one of them was Blake.

"Hey what the hell, are you even listening!

" Ray shouted.

But as Ray's voice was raised the upperclassmen who had been busy chatting away suddenly looked up to see what was going on and that's when Blake had spotted Van.

"Anyway.

" Ray said,

"I need to ask you a few things

/

"

But as soon as Ray took a step forward, Van's face suddenly dropped with fear.

"Don't come!

" Van shouted.

Ray was a bit shocked at this reaction. So far Van had been avoiding him but never reacted like he was scared or frightened.

"Please just don't come close to me,

" Van said

Instead of listening to Van's words though, Ray decided to continue to walk forward.

"Do you really think I will listen to you just because you said so.

" Now Ray stood directly in front of Van.

"Now what are you going to do?

"

Just then Ray could now also be seen by the upperclassmen who were keeping an eye on Van. That's when Blake spotted Ray, although they had met once before with Max. Blake didn't really pay much attention and had already forgotten about him.

"Hey who's the kid?

" Blake asked.

****

Ray had then stepped back away from Van to ease up the pressure a little.

"Look, I'm not trying to cause a fight. As I said, I just wanted to ask some questions?

" Said Ray.

"Who wanted to ask some questions?

" Blake said as he suddenly appeared behind Van.

"Now who would want to talk to this freak?

" Blake then kicked the back of Van's legs causing him to stumble to his knees and then placed his foot on top of Van's back.

"I'm asking you, what your business is little low-class boy?

"

Then Ray immediately moved right over to where the two of them were and pushed Blake with a single hand causing him to lose balance and fall off Van.

"Who the heck does he think he is placing his foot on people as he chooses,

" Ray said.

"Now let's go somewhere quiet.

"

But just then, Ray felt a hand place on top of his head.

"It looks like someone here has a death wish.

" Blake said,

"You little low-class sc.u.m.

"

Ray then turned his head and looked directly into Blake's eyes.

"Hey, do you mind moving your hand, you're hurting me a little?

"

"Do you know who you're talking to?

"

"Of course.

" Said Ray as he grabbed Blake's hand off his head.

"You are the upperclassmen who is said to have huge potential at this school, right?

"

"What's with this brat's strength, I can't move my arm.

"Blake thought.

Just then the commotion between the three of them had also caused quite a crowd to form.

"Hey isn't that the new kid and the freak.

"

"Yeah and that's Blake, I can't believe what the kids doing.

"

"Shouldn't someone go call a teacher before this gets out of hand.

"

"Hey Crunk, chuck it over here!

" Blake shouted to one of the other upper-class classmates that was standing nearby.

Just then Crunk chucked out what looked like a beast crystal which Blake managed to catch mid-air.

"Looks like I will need to teach you a lesson, you little low-class brat.

" Blake said,

"Here if low-class messes with an upper-class this is what happens.

"

Suddenly the beats crystal started to glow and at the same time, it seemed like the power was surging from the stone into Blake himself.

"Is he using the raw beast core as a wand, and it looks like it's at least an advanced tier at that. How the hell can a kid like him afford one.

" Ray thought.

"Damn it looks like I overdid it with my teasing, with everyone watching here if I use my fighting skills everyone will find out.

"

"Ha, what you scared, Well it's too late.

" The beast core started to glow even brighter as more power searched into his body.

"Maybe it's best if we run. It looks like he's able to use the beast core to amplify his mana powers. If I fight back, I might have to use more than just my fireball skill.

"

That's when suddenly Van had pushed Ray to one side and stood in front of him.

"This is why I told you not to get close to me, those who do only get hurt, now run,

" Van said.

"I will do something about this.

"
