"Move out now, the king is here" a voice shouted.
The group immediately exited their room to join the other students, all the students quickly ran outside to see the king and his army of Royal knights.
The students were excited as most of them haven't seen the king before but the more reason they were excited was because of the Royal knights.
All the students joining the knight academy were aiming to be Royal knights, Royal knights were both feared and respected anywhere as long as they were in their black armor, the Aura the armor exclude was enough to chase beasts and attackers away.
The students finally reached the door of their dorm building and they were stopped by a knight, the dorm building was always open but now it was locked as the knights wanted the students to gather around first before exiting.
After all the first-year students had reached the door, the door was opened and the students stepped out one after the other.
The first time they saw immediately they exited the door were the Royal knights, the students looked around and finally saw a man standing in the middle of the Royal knights.
As expected of a king his outfit was adorned with jewels, and he held a white horse by his side, the horse was also adorned with jewels making the sight of them extremely charming.
The King saw the students and moved to the front of the knights so he could see all of their faces, most of them were looking down as they were afraid of looking up.
Once all the students were outside a smile formed on the king's face as he saw the students, in his eyes all of them looked promising.
"Good Evening Your Majesty..." all the students bowed down and greeted.
The knights already told them to bow down and greet the king once they were outside.
"Evening, you can raise your heads...I know you were all surprised by the attack but thank the gods all of you are safe, the enemy launched a surprise attack and cut all means of communication, when we get news on the attacker, they would be dealt with immediately"
"The news of the attack has spread already so I'll hand out papers so you can write to your families and tell them you are safe, that's all"
"Thank you for your generosity, Your Majesty" two girls spoke among all the first-year students.

"*Yawn* I'm a little hungry" Ray mumbled as he walked through a forest path.
The path was created for transportation of goods and it cut right through the forest, it was still lights out so beasts were not in the area as they were deep in the forest.
Ray was walking to Xethen empire, he had no idea why he was going there but he knew he had something to do there, his memories were still fuzzy and he didn't even know who he was, all he could remember was that his name was Ray.
His powers came naturally to him like he had had them since he was born. Ray had been walking for over some hours now but his stamina was monstrous so he wasn't even a bit tired.
"Finally a village, I hope I can get food there" Ray mumbled as he sensed a village, thousands of miles away from where he was.
He wasn't close to the village but he could cover the distance if he increased his speed but he kept walking with a smile on his face.
"Ecstatic...I wonder what those humans are up to" Ray muttered as he walked forward.
Not only could he sense a human settlement from far away, he could sense 10 humans hidden in bushes and trees a few meters away from where he was, he knew they were waiting for him but he kept walking without a single concern.
Ray finally reached where the humans were and stopped as a man was in front of him holding a sword with a smile on his face.
"Hey there pretty boy," the man said swinging the sword around to intimidate Ray.
Ray turned around and a large man was at his back, the man wasn't holding any weapon but his fists were large enough to crush Ray, Ray turned sideways so he could see both of them and then the rest of the men came out of the bushes.
The men were eight total with seven holding swords and the large man, Ray looked around and counted the men with his eyes before speaking.
"What about the other two in the trees, are they not coming?" Ray asked.
"Huh!! what did you say?" the first man asked.
"So you saw us from afar and you still had the guts to walk here, you must think we're rookies" another of them spoke and they all laughed.
"What's with your hair, it looks ridiculous" another one spoke and the group laughed.
"Are you the son of someone important, tell us now so we can kidnap you, or else you would be manure for plants" the large man at Ray's back spoke.
The two still hidden in trees were archers, just in case Ray was a skilled fighter, he would be shot down by the archer before he would attack, but no Ray had no weapons so they weren't weary of him.
"I don't know if I'm the son of someone important, but I'm tired and my clothes are smelly for some reason and also hungry, so I need to get to the village there, and also do you guys have some coins, I don't don't have anything on me," Ray said without a hint of emotion on his face.
"Huh!! what is this bastard saying, if you really need some money, I have some coins here you should come take it" the large man said as he brought out 10 Silver coins.
"Thanks," Ray said as he collected the coins from his hand, and walked away.
As soon as Ray collected the coins the large man fell to the ground in shock, Ray who was standing a few meters away from him was now in front of him, he moved so fast none of them could follow his movement with their eyes.
