My Angelic System

Kye didn't say anything for a moment. He even turned toward Aria, only for her to turn her head away, acting like a little obvious girl. And in the end, Kye only sighed at the sight. They tricked him so well that he didn't even notice. Their quarrel looked so real that he never thought of it being faked. "Then let's get it over with quickly," Kye said to Ras who nodded his head.

The latter put one of his hands on Kye's right shoulder before slowly creating the seal. Like before, Kye felt as if his interior was burning. The pain was unbearable as time passes. But unlike last time, he managed to scream a lot less.

He didn't know if it was because he was now an angel, and thus he was more resistant to pain than before because the process was a lot easier. Nonetheless, it still hurt him internally a lot, and he was tired of having to experience pain every time just to either evolve or get a new type of power.

'I hope I won't have to suffer when I will learn the astral ability. Otherwise, I swear I will punch something,' He thought as he wiped his tears of pain. He then looked at his right shoulder. There was now what looked like a Pheonix tattoo on it. 'It's pretty.'

"Oh, by the way, Kye," Aria pulled him out of his thought. "Where's your halo?"

"That's right, didn't you have a halo?" Ras added. "As far as I know, a halo still needs to be somewhat visible."

Kye looked at them for a moment before answering. It seems like his heavenly disguise worked very well, even against such strong creatures. "There's no need for me to lie since you surely saw what I got out of thin air last time," Both Aria and Ras nodded. Kye then switched his new earing into his halo form. His halo was now above his head, exactly like how they remembered. "The strange-looking gum or slime, whatever you'll call it, allow me to change the shape of an object of my choice. And I decided to use it on my halo since it was my main concern earlier.

"Aria told me that I could hide my wings once I will be able to control my holy energy, so it was the perfect occasion for me to hide my halo," As he said, he just had to learn how to control his holy energy to change his wings into a tatoo form. So his halo would have been the only giveaway to his angelic identity.

Kye then changed his halo back into its earring form. "That's impressing," Aria said with her eyes a little open in shock. "I never saw such a thing. Even after meeting so many angels. Even the strongest that I saw back then didn't have such a thing to hide their halo."

"That's right. A halo is supposed to be what represents an angel. It's the same for the horns of a demon. It is what made them angels and demons respectively, and it is the source of their pride. Yet you managed to hide it, and seem to not care at all about the pride you get from your halo."

"Well, it's not as if I care a lot about that," Kye answered truthfully. "I'll rather stay alive than be a laboratory rat or be discovered and pointed out as a monster that will kill humans at any moment's notice. I'm not strong enough to stay alive with my power against strong people, so it's better like this."

"Fair enough,' Ras said with a smile. He was happy to know that Kye wasn't the type of dying like a fool just because he wanted to show off. He was cold-headed and thought a lot before doing something. And just thanks to that, Ras was sure that Kye would manage to live a long life. Sure a problematic life, but a long life.

"Anyways, we should begin your training," Aria said as she clapped her hand.

"Will I learn the astral ability now?"

"No, not yet. We'll do things in order," Aria smiled. "You'll first learn how to control your holy energy as it is the most important thing right now, then how to hide your wings. To be honest, you'll probably be able to do it instantly after you learn how to use your holy energy," Kye nodded earnestly with a lot of anticipation. He was excited to learn about all these things. No matter how much time would pass, he would learn and use them fully during fights. He couldn't wait but begin his training now.

"After that, you will learn how to use your wings. So how to fly, how to defend with them, and how to use it when you fight to gain momentum or speed."

"How though? It's like they are new limbs. I tried a lot when I was alone, but it takes a lot of time," Kye was now thinking about when he will be able to come back to his friends. But Aria quickly pulled him out of his thought.

"We have Ras. He is an extremely good teacher, and as a Pheonix, he knows how to use his wings very well."

"That's right. It will also be me who will help you learn how to use your holy energy since a Pheonix's energy is the closest to those of angels. It doesn't have the same properties, but the basic is the same," Ras also showed his wings while keeping his human form. He flap them a few times to show Kye that he wasn't lying."

Kye seeing them almost got teary. He was so happy to have met such great people that he didn't know how to repay them.

"Did I do something wrong?" Ras asked Aria, feeling a little bit guilty.

"No, not this time," Aria smiled like a mother when she saw Kye's tears. "He's just thankful and doesn't know how to repay us," Kye nodded his head, making both of them smile again.

Kye, unlike other youngsters that they had met during their lives, was very grateful. He didn't want to take things from them without paying them back. Even when they were doing that out of the goddess of their heart. And they were very glad that he was like this because an ungrateful brat always dies miserably.
