The announcer caught everyone's attention with his enthusiastic shouts.
"We will be discussing the schedule for the the trip. We will arrive tomorrow morning at the island. Then day 2 and day 3 will be sightseeing. Day 4 and 5 will be a friendly tournament with volunteering participation. And Day 6 will be award ceremony and we will board the cruise on Day 7."
He said. Getting the crowd hyped up. Everyone understood a tournament under the eyesight of the 4 guilds meant a Chance to get recruited.
"Can you tell me how you did it 'Aaron'." Asked Rachel is a curious manner.
'Aaron' looked towards her. And said" later " and went back to his thinking state. Rachel didn't pursue this any further since she knew he has his reasons.
Samuel and Rease were sitting on the other table with some boys. "I swear to god, I'll show him hell in the tournament." Said Samuel irritated.
"Bro he won't be participating. He is a bodyguard hired by the Syris guild." Said Rease applying ice on the bump on his forehead.
Samuel stayed silent. " He won't have a choice" he mumbled to himself.
"So Rachel are you excited for the Royal academy tournament after 4 months." Sarah asked
"I don't care about it, what's the point of a higher rank." Said Rachel.
"You will get more facilities a better dorm and a higher status. You should go for it." Said Roy.
Rachel just nodded and took a sip from here juice. Yes juice. Roy didn't let her drink. And he himself was drinking water.
"Are you going to be there?" Asked Sarah, even Rachel wanted to know that. She didn't get the information about Roy yet since her father said , Roy will tell her when he trusts her enough.
"Yes,I will be there." Said Roy. But he added on "not as a student."
Sarah was confused. "I'll be her security guard." He said,he wasn't lying. He promised himself to protect her. That was out of his respect for the Syris guild and because of the title she had. His Fiance. He still didn't love her. But he didn't hate her.
Even Rachel was surprised but chose not to ask any questions since she wanted Roy to tell her himself when he trusts her more.
After having dinner, Everyone went to the after party celebration. And that was just some more drinking and dancing.
Roy and the rest didn't go since they wanted to sleep and were tired. On his way out Roy made eye contact with John ,who was sitting with Loki and Ronald on Samuel's table.
They weren't talking that much with Samuel,since they figured staying away from him would be for the best.
"I really wish Roy tagged along, teasing him is fun." Said Ronald dishearted.
"What can we do. He is busy with.... Umm what was he busy with." Said John
"Ask him later, don't try to fry the only 2 brain cells you have." Said Loki.
....
Back to the room
Rachel and Sarah went to their room and Rot went to his own. He wasn't planning on sleeping anytime soon. He knew the one's who planted cameras in her their room was Samuel.
He probably used some connections to find out their room,since a normal person wouldn't know.
Roy was fairly certain about his guess after seeing Samuel's obsession with Rachel. He planted a few alarm systems which will trigger the second something was out of place.
Rachel and Sarah changed in their pajamas and layed on their beds.
"You do like the Bodyguard don't you " said Sarah
"Wha- what maked you say that." Said Rachel filtering a little.
"Yes,he is actually my fiancé, please keep this a secret." Said Rachel.
"So how did you-" she was saying as Rachel cut her off. "It's a arranged one,our fathers made the agreement."
"But he is not a bad person,he is caring for his family. But we still don't know or like eachother to the point where we would agree to marry.I decided to give him sometime and then decide." Said Rachel.
Sarah not having anything else to say closed her eyes in a attempt to sleep and so did Rachel.
Roy was sitting in his room and was thinking about a few things. How had his life changed so much in the last few 2 months. He made his friends made a good relationship with the owner of the association and rank 5 hero,Kiro, and now the son-in-law of the syris guild. He made a connection with Lucas the principal and owner of the Royal academy
Things were really moving fast . He also ended up making alot of enemies. The demons,his natural enemies. Those Beings who killed his father,Anti association,the organisation that put him in comma,he feels those are still around. And also now every other guild but Crow guild.
He was already overpowered as hell but that was against players under middle stage gold. His time spells will become detectable a few seconds before activation. A good gold hero can make a counter in that time also these spells take a huge toll on him unlike time reverend which can be used for a long time.
He also had the katana which was a great offense weapon but he didn't to learn the second movement by the next 4 months. Even though rank 2 and 3 spells were available for the organisations at the top of the foos chain, aren't all of his enemies at the apex?
He decided not to think much about it and went to sleep, obviously while activating defense measures to wake him up and protect Rachel.
Next morning
Roy woke up surprised that nothing really happened last night. He got up wore a tight fitted black trouser again and a high neck black shirt with white sneakers. And obviously his mask which was White in colour now.
It was 8:00 am and the Ship was about to arrive at the Island so he went to check up on Rachel and Sarah but no one answered. He got worried and anxious. He sent a message to Rachel.
'Im in the breakfast lounge with Sarah and a few other friends.' she said. Roy immediately rushed to the breakfast lounge.
After arriving the lounge,the first thing that he noticed was the sweet scent of sweets and juices. Yes his 5 senses had also improved by alot.
He then found where Rachel was and too the table next to them since there were about 5-6 girls all from well known families. They were gossiping about everything. Celebrity affairs going on in this world, about other well known families etc.
Roy didn't want to be a part of that. So he sat next to them. "Umm, excuse me. Can we sit here." Asked 2 boys. One had red and other had black hair.
"Sure,you don't need to ask me." Said Roy not having a reason to reject them. "Ah,thanks man. Looks like the rumours were fake."
Roy immediately picked that up. "Which rumours" he didn't wanted Rachel's image to suffer also the message he sent was a sure fire way to prevent them. He messaged Syris who bribed everyone who was present. Well bribe was a more friendlier way to describe what he did.
"That you killed more than 50 people for no reason and you are a cold hearted physco killer." Said the boy with black hair.
"Wait what. How did they find out." Said Roy. Resulting in the black and red haired boys dropping the mapple syrup they were pouring.
"I'm joking guys. I'm 15 the same age as you. Also I don't have a reason to kill." Said Roy comforting them.
After that the 2 boys ate their meal in silence,with a few remarks here and there. When Rachel got up and was about to leave she messaged Roy.
'we are going to the balcony. You can come if you want to.' she messaged and left with the girls.
'I don't have a choice young miss.' he said to himself and followed them.
Nothing went wrong as the girls chatted on the balcony. After 2 hours,a announcement went off.
"We will be arriving in about a hour,we suggest you pack wnd secure your belongings. We will not be responsible for the loss of any of them." The voice ran out.
So naturally everyone returned to their rooms. All the rich kids had spatial rings so storing their stuff was very easy. After storing their things Rachel,Sarah and Roy went to the banquet hall were everyone was gathering to go over the rules and schedule one more time.
After gathering the announcer started speaking. No one was allowed to start a fight,if done in public and under no professional guidance, immediate action will be taken. Everyone will get the option to challenge someone after the tournament concluded. And Day 2 and 3 will be sightseeing. There were amusement parks etc at the island. Everyone will be taken to their respective hotels. Which have been pre booked.
After the announcement ended with announcing the schedule for day 4 and 5 being the tournament and day 6 being reward ceremony and day 7 being the end of the trip.
Everyone was excited for what's about to come. But for some it wasn't as expected.
Everyone was ordered to stay here until the ship reached the port and then people will be escorted by the staff and taken straight to their hotel room.
