Chapter 432: We can panic  

"Did I do something wrong in my previous life or something?" Kyle said as he stomped his foot on the ground a few times, only for the dust on the floor to rise and fall.

Both Kyle and Harry were waiting outside the venue. As soon as Ray had finished fighting the king tier beast they had left. They knew he would be there for a while as they needed to finalize a few things, and they didn't like the contestants leaving at the same time as the audience members.

"Why did he have to use his sword throughout the whole fight? Couldn't he have just punched it like he usually does, or even better, he could have used magic?" Kyle continued to complain.

"I believe magic is not allowed in these types of events. It's for fighting only. That's why I was elected instead of someone like Bliss." Harry replied.

The reason for Kyles's frustration was because he had lost his only spending money. The gold coin he had betted, he was sure Ray would be a winner. Although Ray had defeated the beast, and with ease compared to last time, his skills were sloppy to say the least.

Even to Kyle, it was clear he had been relying far too much on his magic and other things and hadn't kept up with the regular training like the rest of them, but there was one thing he had to admit and that was the person he was going up against ,Roki. He on the other hand was a master swordsman.

His skills reminded him of the former White sash master knight. But Kyle wouldn't say that In front of Harry, after all, that was his so-called Dad.

What was more concerning for both of them though at this point, was how Slyvia hadn't replied yet. During the fight, they had sent her a message. They were expecting her to reply in an instant, just like when she found out in the inn. She had sent a message to Ray straight away.

So they expected her to do the same, telling them to tell Ray to stop, but there was no such thing and it was starting to worry them a little.

They sent a few more messages while waiting, and still there was nothing. That's when Kyle decided to send one to Martha, but she too hadn't replied.

At that Moment Ray had come out, and they had informed him of the news. Now in his void, he had two king tier crystals; he didn't know what to do with them. He wasn't so lucky this time to obtain the crystal once killing the beast.

So he decided to register once again for the next day. There was only a week or so before the main event.

After hearing from the guys what they said, Ray too had decided to send a message, one which sounded a bit more urgent.

"Wait, maybe you should also add an apology in there for last night." Harry said carefully, as he felt he was treading on uncharted territory there.

Ray paused for a second and decided to reword the message before sending it off. Saying sorry.

"So what did you send?" Kyle asked out of interest.

"I'm sorry about yesterday's matter, but you shouldn't scare the other two. Reply immediately or we will turn this whole city upside down looking for you. If you don't reply, I'll assume you may have died."

The others looked at each other and felt the message surely was strange, and the message wasn't really an apologetic one either.

"Well, the good thing is we know they aren't dead. They still come up on the Red wings members list." Said Harry. "Maybe we should head back to the inn for now. Perhaps she really is playing a joke on us and is still upset with you."

With that, the three boys decided to head back to the inn, and honestly, Ray had expected to see the two girls there, but there was no such thing. There wasn't even a note.

Slyvia, no matter how angry she was, would have never left without leaving a note, and Harry doubted she would be able to pull off a nasty joke like this for this long. Especially when they were in another city.

"Maybe we are panicking too much," Kyle said "What could happen to them here? This place is safe, as safe can be, right? Why don't we rest for the day, and if they don't come tomorrow, then we can start to panic."

The boys decided to do just that, but when they woke up in the morning, it was the same thing again. No messages, no replies, and no notes.

"Okay, now we have permission to panic," Kyle said as the three of them were sat down at a table.

"What do we do?" Harry asked.

Just then, an advertisement came on the screen in the Inn behind them. It was a similar advert to yesterday advertising the arena. It showed the battle that had happened yesterday and telling others to come again today, as both Roki and Nes would be going head to head once more.

"I think you should go to the arena, Ray," Harry said. "We know why you're going, you want to get stronger before the big fight with Gary. There aren't any king tier beast in the Alure kingdom, so this is the only place where you can find them with ease. The girls are strong, and I'm not just talking about Martha but Sylvia as well."

"They will be fine, and you can trust both me and Kyle to find them for you. So you go to that tournament and get a faster time than that Roki fella."

For some reason, Ray wanted to help find Slyvia and the others as well. He knew getting stronger was important, but something was telling him to go look for her. But Harry's words had managed to convince him.

If the words had come from Kyle, then perhaps Ray would have decided to ignore them, but Harry was a smart person and it was clear the two girls were still alive.

"Harry, I leave everything to you. You're in charge."

Ray said as he left to go to the arena.

"You are in charge!" Kyle complained. "Does he remember you two used to not be friends?"

But Ray had already disappeared.
