While riding on Noir's back, Ray had long lost the two Dark guild members chasing him. They seemed to have given up and decided to head back to the arena. As Ray went through the city he noticed there were a few attacks here and there around the city but nowhere near the number of dark guild members that had gathered at the arena.

Whatever they were looking for it seemed like it had something to do with the arena. Everything else was almost a distraction to get the knights to spread out far and thin.

Before heading straight to Avrion academy, Ray decided to make a stop at the Martial arts hall. The place was rather quiet, as most knights had gone to either the arena to help out, or back to the academy for cover. The rest were helping where they could at the areas that had been attacked.

The area where the Martial arts hall was, wasn't populated in the first place, with everything going on it was almost deserted, there wasn't another person in sight. Ray left Noir just outside the Martial arts hall as he went in.

"If you see anyone Noir, make sure you let me know."

"Ruff" Noir said in response.

Ray quickly went into the Martial arts hall and went straight for the old man's storage room.

"I'm sorry about this old man, but it's an emergency."

Ray was currently looking around for anything that could help with fighting the Dark guild members. His Intermediate tier gauntlets weren't going to do anything to help him. After fighting with Killer, he knew he needed an upgrade but he didn't have the time to go hunting.

That's when he decided to go to the Martial arts hall. When the old man had given him the gauntlets the old man said he could have given him better gear but decided not to in case the others would think it was unfair.

Ray quickly went through piles of junk but it didn't take him long until he found what he was looking for. At the back of the room, there was a pile of weapons. It was amazing what the old man had collected over the years but what interested Ray most was a new pair of gauntlets.

The gauntlets were silver in colour with a black trim along the edges. It had ridged fins coming form each side making Ray guess it came from a type of sea monster. They looked strong and study and was defiantly better than his current gauntlets. Ray open up his endless void and shoved the gauntlets in there, but he didn't stop at just the gauntlets. Ray took every single weapon that was there on the table.

There was a mix of all sorts of weapons, they were mainly all intermediate weapons but still of good quality. Ray left the Martial arts hall and got on Noir's back again and started heading straight for the academy.

Gary, Slyvia and Martha had backed into the corner of the room without realising it. Student after student were slowly rising from the ground and each one looked lifeless. There were 6 dark guild members in the room smiling as they watched the situation unfold.

The few doctors in the room stopped trying to treat the students and started to slowly back away as well. Then suddenly one of them couldn't take it anymore and made a rush towards the exit. At first, the doctor ran past a few of the students and there was no reaction. Even as he b.u.mped into them, they would simply just stumble and get back into a standing position.

One of the dark guild members then slowly lifted his hands and pointed at the doctor.

"Get him!"

On the Dark guild members command the students all seemed to go crazy and started to jump towards the doctor. They were ripping him from limb to limb as parts of the doctor's arm and organs could be seen going through the air. It was a horrible scene and clearly the students no longer in their own mind.

The Dark guild members then each commanded their horde of students to go after the remaining doctors.

One of the student closest to Gary and the others suddenly turned towards them and jumped with his arms dangling out. As the first student got incredibly close to them Gary grabbed his sword and went for a slash. As his sword was just about to strike the fellow student, he heard a Slyvia shout.

"Gary don't there still alive."

At the last second, Gary pulled his strike back and went for a punch instead, knocking the student over. The student got back up almost instantly and started attacking them again. Gary this time dodged the students swing then went behind him and grabbed the students by the neck.

"What the heck do you want me to then?" Gary complained as the student failed about in his hands.

"I'm pretty sure they're still alive, we just need to get out of here for now," Slyvia replied as she looked towards the exit.

"We can't leave yet, what about Monk?" Martha said.

Slyvia was looking at the situation around her, there were about 100 students and six dark guild members in the room. While on their side it was only the three of them. Their chances of surviving were slim and even more so if they needed to carry an injured person like Monk.

But Slyvia for a second never thought of leaving Monk behind.

"We go save him first," Slyvia said.

They didn't have much time, right now many of the students were focused on attacking the remaining doctors and weren't paying much attention to them but soon they would all be dead. Although Slyvia wished to help them there was nothing they could currently do.

"Gary, I know I said you couldn't kill them but that doesn't mean you can't break some bones. Try aiming for their joints so they can't get back up. Martha, you do the same I know you're not good at close range combat but the student's reactions seem to be slower than usual just make sure to keep your distance. Everyone got that."

Gary then quickly aimed for the student's knees. He kicked each one causing a popping sound. the student fell to the floor and was wiggling around in place.

Gary and Martha nodded. The three of them were ready to make way to the private medical room.
