My Dragon System

Chapter 352 - King's speach
An official announcement had just been made, and it was a first for not only the academy, but for the entirety of Avrion to find out who the King of their kingdom was. All the students who had graduated either joined the army or had left when the Redwing's took over. It was the reason why the current set of students had never seen Ray before, and only knew the others from the years of history the Avrion had.

Although this announcement was made publicly, Slyvia had also planned to reveal this information to the rest of the knights. They were their own kingdom now, and they would be targeted no matter what. Ray had stated that he was sick of hiding, so it was time to reveal the truth to everyone.

"Wait, he was the King this whole time? It can't be true, right?" A student said.

"It makes sense now. Don't you remember how the master knights were bowing down to him immediately?"

"Huh? But why did he get chosen? I thought the adventurer named Nes was the founder of the red wings. I don't think it's right that they just made a random person to ascend to the throne of the King. Look at him, he doesn't look top strong, unlike Jack over there. " A blue sash knight said.

However, the other knights promptly came to Ray's defence. They had all seen what Ray had done for each training area while the blue knights were the only ones who had no clue.

"Are you kidding me? He's probably just as strong as Wilfred and Sir K. He was also friends with all the other master knights and even beat Harry in a duel."

This piece of information started to spread, and all of the things that Ray had done earlier in the day was swiftly passed around.

Although, as the word travelled within the circle, the rumours started to get a little exaggerated.

"Did you hear? King Ray defeated all of the white knights at the same time while toying with Harry by using only his finger."

While all of the students were busy talking about Ray, Slyvia looked at him and said, "Go on, Ray, speak to them. In the future, they will be your people. They will be fighting for this land and lace you created for them."

After witnessing and hearing about what Ray had done, they all thought their King was quite an amazing person. There were also those who didn't believe the rumours were true, but this would always be the case until they're able to sed Ray perform in person.

But doing so, Ray had gained a few fans from the students, and one of those was Flynn. "Speech, Speech, Speech!" Flynn started to chant with excitement, and soon many of the others joined in.

"Looks like they're calling you," said Slyvia.

Ray stood up from his seat, and the audience members cheered. He then walked out from the side to the front of the table, and looked at all the students in front of him, and in that moment, they had gone silent.

"I'll be honest. I'm not one for speeches and usually, I leave all of these things to Slyvia." Said Ray. "She has done a great job in bringing this city up to what it is, and I would like to remind everyone that she will still be the one you will be listening to from now on. I don't see myself taking the role of someone who will run the city. I also don't want to assume the role to be the one training you like the master knights, but in return for joining the Redwing army and your loyalty, I will promise you one thing - That while you are a member of this kingdom, I will do everything in my power to protect all of you."

Although the words said by Ray were simple, and definitely not one that a ruler would usually say, it gave the students confidence. They could feel he was genuine, and they felt power when he said those last few words.

"And I have one more thing to add," Ray said. "Equally, if you are not a part of the Redwings and chose to attack on us or betray us, I will make you wish you were never born."

Hearing Ray's final words, the students became frightened a little. Just as they could tell, his words before were genuine, and they felt as if these words were stated in the same degree.

Meanwhile the Elders, including Slyvia, were shaking their heads behind Ray. If he had;t added that last bit of his statement, then the speech would have been perfect. But as Ray walked back to them, he had a smile on his face. Lately, he had been showing more and more emotions which made Slyvia happy. Perhaps one day, maybe something could happen between them too.

Looking at him as he sat down, she gave him a thumbs up.

"Good job, Ray. Leave the rest to me."

Slyvia now stood in front on the stage as she had a few announcements to be made. All of this information would also be repeated to the knights working around the city through their captains. The problem was everyone was so busy at the moment, so it would be more harmful to the city if they stop them all from working.

"The next thing I would like to announce is a new division in the academy. Avrion will now be opening up it's doors to a magic division." Slyvia announced.

The mutterings among the students were nearly just as much as when Ray was announced as King. This move was made because Avrion needed to build itself and grow. Roland was a part of the Alure kingdom. Therefore, the students didn't belong to them.

However, most of the knights in the academy had been tested for magic and had failed, which was why the magic division, for now, would be quite empty. Still, they would be able to go around the city and see if any of the new people had any magical talent.

"The two people who will be leading this will be Lenny and Bliss. Please meet your Avrion Magical Tower masters." Lenny and Bliss stood up from their chairs and started to wave. As Bliss was standing up, she started to fire magical fireworks into the air, impressing all of the students.

The announcements had finished for the day and all the students were required to leave the dining hall apart from Wendy, the green sash knight, and Flynn, the black sash knight.

It was time for them to discuss the beasting process.
