Alfred and James turned around to exit the building, Gabriel was still keeping an eye on the knights, and when he saw them turning around he quickly removed his head.
"Guys we need to go now", the knights are coming out Gabriel said and they all stood up immediately.
"Need to go where," a voice said from behind.
The students stood there in shock, all of them couldn't move an inch, till the door of the building opened and Alfred and James stepped out.
The students were shocked seeing both of the knights in front of them, all of them quickly turned around to see who was behind them but to their surprise, no one was there.
"What are you students doing here?" Alfred asked in a hoarse voice.
"We are very sorry Sir, we'll..."
"What are you going to do with Ray" Lily spoke loudly cutting Gabriel's apology off.
"Lily what are you doing, you are going to get us punished" Jack whispered behind her.
"We have somewhere to be so we'll talk about this later, you guys should go in" James spoke, Alfred was already fuming with anger so he just walked away.
"Huh!! we should go in?" Lily asked, she was expecting a slap or some form of punishment for her rude behavior but instead they were told to go in.
"Carriages containing food and water had been sent to the knights" a knight informed both of them as they walked towards the academy gate.
"Good" Alfred simply said.
Alfred and James walked away and immediately took horses to join the other knights at the city gate.
"We were told to go in why are you guys afraid?" Lily asked.
"But you are in front and you haven't taken a single step" Crystal spoke.
"Maybe the knights are punishing us for spying on them" Ivan sighed.
"But the head of the mage academy is inside, I'm sure it's nothing," Gabriel said.
"Let's just go in, nothing is going to jump on us," Jack said as he stepped forward, as soon as he reached the door of the building Selena opened the door.
"Arrgh..." Jack shouted and jumped backward retracting his hands immediately.
"Come in, I'm not going to punish you," Selena said and walked inside.
The students finally got the assurance they needed and Lily was the first to step in, Selena who was at the door just now was already beside Kaan.
"How did she..." Lily mumbled under her breath.
The students closed the door as they moved towards Selena, Kaan was seating ok the ground with his eyes closed.
"I need you guys to do something for me, hopefully, it won't come to that but you can never be too careful," Selena said.
"We'll do anything" Lily spoke.
"Good, you are Ray's girlfriend right?" Selena asked.
"U-Uhmm...I...I don't k-know, we haven't talked about it" Lily mumbled in a shaky voice.
"But I'm sure he likes you so this is what I need you guys to do, this is Kaan a demon," Selena said and pointed to Kaan.
Kaan opened his eyes and glared at them with murderous bloodlust, immediately they saw his eyes all of them were so afraid that they couldn't move their body, they were even unable to breathe.
"Are these Ray's friends, are you sure they can hold him down, these guys are beyond weak" Kaan said before closing his eyes.
'What was that' the same thing was going through all their minds, just now it felt like Kaan was going to kill them and they couldn't move from fear.
"I know they are weak, I'm not after their strength just the bond they had with Ray," Selena said but Kaan let out a hump.
"But this demon looks exactly like Ray," Martha said in a low voice.
"That is because this is Ray's body, both of them coexist in the same body till Ray was killed, we want to bring him back so you have work to do"
"What exactly do you need us for?" Gabriel asked.
"First what we are doing here to very dangerous and if you are afraid you can leave, but if you stay I'll protect you till I drop dead," Selena said with seriousness in her voice.
"Till you drop dead, who is going to attack us?" Crystal asked.
"Ray...when he is revived"
"We are not afraid, right?" Lily spoke and look at the rest of them.
"You guys are going to form a circle around the magic circle after I'm done drawing it, the process is going to take a while but if it's successful and Ray wakes up, I want you guys to grab him before he can make a move, I repeat GRAB HIM BEFORE HE CAN MAKE A MOVE" Selena emphasize the last part loudly.
"After grabbing him what do we do?" Jack asked.
"I would use up a lot of Mana so I may not be able to react fast enough so after one of you guys grab him, I'll trap him with a spell then we'll talk some sense into him"
"Sense!!"
"After he's revived, his memories would be fuzzy so he might not recognize us, that's the second reason you guys are here, you just need to remember him of the time you spent together, that's where you come in girlfriend," Selena said looking at Lily.
"Time we spent together, but I and Ray didn't spend much time together" Lily mumbled in a sad voice.
"I'll start with drawing the circle," Selena said and the students moved away.
Selena placed her hands on the ground and began to mumble some words in a strange language that even the students couldn't understand.
Soon a large black circle began to form on the ground, the students were fascinated by magic and watched as the circle slowly increased till it became complete.
Kaan stood up and walked towards the magic circle with a smile on his face, he couldn't believe he was giving him life for a human when he spent his entire life hating them.
"Let's begin," Selena said.
