Monk and Gary decided to stay in the hospital with me for a couple of days. Although the doctors said I was fine, they still wanted to do extra checks just to be sure. After a few day's Jasmine had woken up. We decided to go check up on her to see if she was okay. Gary was epescially insistent, he felt bad about the whole thing and even apologised to me and Monk many times.

When we entered the room Jasmine was fully awake and wasn't covered in badges or anything but couldn't move well. The doctor told us that she had a few broken ribs that would take a bit longer to heal before she was free to leave.

"How are you holding up?" Monk asked.

"I'm okay, I can't really remember what happened though, I thought I was dead."

We then told her everything minus Noir, that Sir K had come and saved us and we weren't going to be expelled from the academy. I asked Gary and monk to keep Noir a secret. I told them I had learnt to use magic and could summon a pet. How I found out about my magical abilities later but wanted to stay in Avrion rather getting transferred to Roland. Summoning or having beast wasn't rare but it was a thing linked to mages. This satisfied their curiosity and they stopped asking about it.

Jasmine then asked, "How did Sir K know we were there?"

"He said something about the Lurker told him, do you know who that is?" Gary asked.

Jasmine was quiet for a while before she decided to answer.

"The lurker is a myth between students at the academy, apparently he's someone who is always hiding in the shadows and protects the students from any dangers or reports anyone who breaks the rules."

Although I would have liked to believe this Lurker character existed, whenever I used my dragon eyes skill there was no appearance of someone hiding in the academy. There was currently only one person who could avoid my detection and that was Sir K himself. Perhaps he knew of this myth between students and thought it was a good way to hide the real person who had informed him.

After checking Jasmin was all okay we decided to leave her be and get back to our Dorms. After all, we had been gone a few day's and the others were properly wondering what had happened to us.

When we arrived at the dorm just as we thought everyone was wondering where we had gone. We simply told them that we had been in an accident during our special black sash training. It explained why the three of us were gone and also explained Gary's cast. Kyle didn't believe us and kept pestering us about it. Of course, he knew we weren't telling the truth because he also was a black sash. In the end, sir K had told him the same thing as us so he decided to drop it.

Gary seemed to no longer have nightmares at night and I hadn't had another dream about the red door since. I decided that I would attempt to go down there again once I was stronger.

While lying in bed for the last three days there were a lot of things that I got to think about. Noir was surprisingly helpful in battle and its speed was amazing. It would be good to improve Noir with crystals as fast as possible. The next thing on my mind was beast crystal weapons. I needed to get my hands on one of these.

After seeing how effective Sir K's weapon was against the minotaur and how uneffective our weapons were I needed one for myself. The problem was I needed money and a specific type of beast crystal that could be changed into a weapon.

I was currently in the martial arts hall training with the old man, he hadn't asked me why I was missing for a few days but was just happy to see I was alright. We were currently practising between my three fighting forms. The first form was just me with a standard blade. This mainly concentrated on me focusing on attack power. Infusing my Ki into the sword to make it as fast and as powerful as possible. My second from was the beast form. While I was on all fours my attacks were faster and less predictable. And lastly my martial form.

This form was well balanced between the two. I would carry the blade in my mouth while also using my fists for martial arts skills. It was a perfect balance allowing me to block well and still strike when needed. The only problem with this form was if someone's Ki was more powerful then mine. My hands would not be hard enough, making their blade slice right through. Although I wasn't worried about that. With the minotaur's mana now added to mine, I had a total of ten mana points.

These mana points could be added to my Ki so I had an abnormal amount compared to other students my age.

I was currently fighting against the old man using my martial form. He was teaching me new techniques to use in close combat.

"Good, good" the old man said. "I think you will soon be ready for the upcoming tournament."

"The upcoming tournament?" I said confused.

"Do you not remember, it's the tournament between all the students to decide who will attend the All Kingdom tournament."

With everything that had been going on, I had completely forgotten about it. The tournament was due to start in a couple of months. The tournament included all the second-year students as well as the third-year students. The top five would be allowed to then further complete in the all kingdom tournament which included fighters from all over the continent.

"As a student of mine, I'm hoping that you will at least be in the top ten."

"I think I need some new equipment first," I said.

The old man looked me up and down, currently I had no beast gear equipment at all. The third-year students had a huge advantage over the second year students due to the fact that they had been hunting for a year longer than us. This gave them many chances to encounter different beasts and get all sorts of equipment.

"I think I have something you might like." The old man said with a smile.
