My Angel system



Earlier before Jude, the Lieutenants and the elves lost access to the other world...…..

"So, he's going to do all these things for you until the tournament is over," Luis said, looking at Nova.

He was quite impressed with the way she handled the situation but he had a little problem with it.

'She should have at least given him a little beating before peacefully talking with him.'

"It's absurd how a game at the arcade was the cause of all these," Nicole said.

"I still haven't gotten the details of what happened," Michael said.

"Do you want to tell them or should I tell them?" Nova asked after turning her gaze to Luis.

"I'd like to know how he explained it to you." The Angel said before crossing his arm.

"Okay, " Nova said before sitting down beside Nicole while Luis and Michael were still standing. "Luis went to the arcade with his friend Ace on the day we arrived here."

"He knows Ace's name?" Luis said. "Of course he does, he's been following me around for three days now."

"No, he didn't tell me anything about Ace, he said you were with someone who he only saw when you two left together so I assumed it was Ace and I guess I was right." The Guardian Angel said.

"Just get to the point," Michael said.

"Yeah, as I was saying, there was a disc shooting machine there, just like the one you have." She said, turning her gaze to Michael. "Just like the one in the competition we just witnessed and our mind-controlling revenge seeker was using it as a way to fill his pockets."

"Why am I never surprised when I hear things like this?" Michael said.

"He made a strict rule that anybody who wanted to have a go at the game would have to make a deal with him, the deal stated that the person would give him a gold coin if he or she fails to make it past level five."

"And what would he give to the person if he or she makes it past level five?" Nicole asked.

"That wasn't part of his deal until Luis arrived at the arcade that day and decided to have a go at the game," Nova replied.

"That's absurd," Nicole said.

"I'm not surprised," Michael muttered. "The government and the military are doing worse."

"The rule was one sided so he decided to balance it with the same conditions in his favor if he makes it past level five and after checking his watch and seeing that it only had the number three displayed on it he was certain that he wouldn't make it past the tough level and agreed to the balanced deal.

"He lost out on the deal and when Luis demanded his coin, he came up with the idea to silently scare him away but that didn't work so well for him, Luis embarrassed him and took his coin and that's where his grudge, and attacks began."

'He actually explained it to her as it happened.' Lena said.

'Or maybe she just used the question to open the topic in his mind and then used her mind read to get all the details she needed.' Luis replied.

'I didn't think of that.' Lena said

"People hold grudges for lesser reasons," Michael said.

"Yeah, but the way Luis handled the situation was risky and could have risked him getting exposed," Nova said.

"What do you mean?" Nicole asked.

"He used his compellence ability on him and now he knows he has an ability and the fact that he tried to get through your mind and wasn't able to succeed and not being able to harm you with any of his attacks makes him suspicious of you."

"You forgot to add that he also beat him in the disc dodging competition," Nicole said.

"Yeah, that too." The Guardian Angel said.

'This is taking another route.' Luis thought.

"My point is." The Guardian Angel said before turning his gaze to Luis. "You are a bit careless when keeping your identity a secret, with the way the world is currently, finding out that an Angel like you is living among them may spark up reactions and actions you won't like."

"I think Luis already knows all these things," Michael said.

"He doesn't act like he does," Nova said. "I've been monitoring you since I arrived here and all you've done is drag yourself to the spotlight with George and his bad boy gang, the second year students in the group are afraid of you, a level three first-year student, and the main people being the third year students are now weary of you."

'She's really been monitoring you.' Lena said.

'She came here to capture me so monitoring me was part of the job.' Luis replied.

"The worst part of things is that they now know that you're the guy behind the masks and hoods who have been getting in their way and beating them up with multiple elemental abilities, they haven't confirmed it yet but I'm sure every evidence they have points toward you as it should.

"Being an Angel doesn't make you invincible Luis, I found out recently that George almost killed you with a demonic blaster, what would have been your fate if Michael had not arrived on time to save you?"

"You told her about it?" Michael said with her gaze on Nicole.

"I didn't."

"In case you need a reminder, I'm an Angel, sorry Nicole."

"Mind read," Michael muttered.

Luis wanted to say something as he thought the Guardian Angel was done but before he could open his mouth, she cut him off.

"And let's not forget about the show you put on in the stadium today, a student who got stabbed on the shoulder was still dodging discs like it was just a little scratch."

"I made it believable just like you told me to." The Angel said.

"Maybe that wasn't enough because right now you have made yourself a center of attraction for many people who witnessed what you did today including the world leaders as they believed and still believe that you did all those things with a stab wound on your shoulder, you're just lucky no one asked to see the wound at the end of everything," Nova said. "I expected you to lose out purposely as soon as that girl stabbed or even forfeit because that way things could have been better and no one would be thinking of you as some kind of special kid."

"But he is a special kid," Michael said.

"If he was a human being then maybe I would agree with you."

Since Nova started listing out everything Luis has been doing wrong, the Angel had not been able to say a word and right now he was starting to get that feeling of a child getting scolded by his parents, he had never felt this way since he left Asaka.

"Stop dragging yourself to the spotlight, it won't do you any good as you are not yet anywhere close to being strong enough to defend yourself and just like Pearl Reeves, you're not a hero and you have to stop acting like one or you may end up getting yourself killed, the school can handle its juvenile problems."

"That isn't exactly true," Michael said as Nicole quickly shot him a piercing gaze. "You're not the school Nick, you're only staff that can easily be removed at any point in time, you of all people should know that there has always been biased whenever students from popular and powerful families are involved, why do you think nothing has been done against George Freelyn despite you providing Kelvin with very good pieces of evidence? Maybe he isn't even aware that he has been reported to the highest school authority."

"Kelvin said he would look into it as soon as we return from the tournament," Nicole said.

"Of course, he would say that but let's wait till the tournament is over and see how things will play out." He said before turning his gaze to Luis who was still mute. "Your sister's right buddy, you have to stop getting yourself in these situations."

Luis stared at him for a while before letting out a sigh and slowly bringing his gaze down.

'I agree with them to some extent.' Lena said.

The Angel opened the door to his room to find Dylan sleeping on his bed and Ace was no way to be found.

"I told him not to go outside and he just does what he wants to." The Angel muttered with a furious look on his face.

'He's probably with Chloe.' Lena said. 'But there's no longer any danger so, I don't there's any reason to be angry.'

'You're right, but what if the danger was still lurking around or maybe is still lurking around?'

'But it's not and that's all that matters.'

The Angel was about to reply to her when he suddenly heard three knock sounds from the door.

He slowly made his way to the door and opened it to see Tammy standing there, someone he wasn't expecting to see by this time of the day.

"Hey." She said with a smile on her face.

"Hey."

"Um….my parents are here with my little brother and they want to see you."

"Just give me a few seconds." He said before slamming the door shut.

"Okay," Tammy said with an awkward expression on her face.
