Chapter 151 Luis Vs Ace: Revealing The Truth
Luis walked out of the library to see that the sun was still shining brightly and he could also see students heading back to their dormitories.
"I guess I still have a little more time before I return here again." He said as he began to walk down the few stairs.
He could still feel the connection between him and the Demi-Angels.
'I wonder why they are in the same place.' He thought as he looked at the yellow aura trails both leading to one place.
'Maybe they are just having a little chat.' Lena said.
Luis was quiet as he stared in the direction for a while before turning to walk back to his dorm room.
'Time to answer some annoying questions.' He thought as he placed his hand on the doorknob
He opened the door to find Ace lying on his bed looking towards the door but Dylan wasn't on his bed as he was lying on the Angel's bed.
"Where have you been?" Dylan quickly jumped off the bed immediately he saw who had entered the room. "You didn't show up for combat class and then the combat class got canceled."
"Combat class got canceled," Luis said, pretending he didn't know.
"Yeah, where were you?"
"Err, I was at the library," Luis said. That was the truth but it wasn't exactly the truth.
"I thought you only worked in the evening, like a night shift." Ace decided to join the discussion.
"Yes, but something came up."
"Something like what?" Ace asked with a stern look.
Luis was quiet for a while as he tried to think of what to say, he also wanted to know what they were thinking.
'He's very lucky to have a job in an academy like this.' Dylan thought.
Luis found it strange that Dylan wasn't even having thoughts of suspicion in their current situation but he was glad because of that.

'Oh, c'mon doesn't this skill level up?' Luis complained in his thoughts.
Right from day one he had been unable to use the skill on Ace because he had a strong will and mind.
"My help was needed in cleaning and reorganizing the bookshelves," Luis said.
Ace smiled inwardly as he was getting somewhere now, he knew everything Luis had just said were lies because he had followed him and Ella until they had eventually teleported away.
'You bloody liar.'
"Since you're back I guess you're done with it then," Dylan said.
"Yes," Luis said as he walked to his bed and sat on it. "What a day." He added before feigning a yawn.
Ace shook his head as he walked to his bed but his mind wasn't at rest as his gaze kept turning toward Luis.
Something was bothering him and that was the last thing he had seen Luis do when he was following him.
'Does he work for demons and help them kidnap students or is he using the students for something else?' He thought.
Reporting him to the school authorities would be a good option but what proof would he have against his roommate, just saying that the student went missing and that Luis was the reason behind it wouldn't make much sense without proof it will just sound like an outright accusation.
Thinking things through Ace had finally come up with a way to expose the Angel.
"Hey, Luis." Ace called.
"Really?"
"Yes."
"I would love to witness a fight between the both of you," Dylan said as he jumped down from his bed.
"Yes, what's up?" Luis asked as he turned to face him.
"When you're done resting would you mind having a spar with me."
"I don't mind, we could get to it now," Luis said, quickly stepping down from his bed.
"So where's the venue?" Luis asked.
"I have a nice place in mind." Ace said with a wry smile.
Luis didn't mind having a spar in the woods since it was one of his favorite places to fight without getting disturbed which was why he had quickly agreed when Ace suggested it but Dylan wasn't having a nice feeling about it although he still followed them.
They were both standing at each end of one of the little free spaces in the woods but it wasn't far from their dormitory as they could still see it through the numerous trees surrounding them.
"I want this to be more like a serious battle so anything goes." Ace said.
"But Luis doesn't have an ability," Dylan said.
"It's okay Dylan, It's just a spar," Luis said.
He knew wind abilities could be dangerously fast and that was why he had equipped his anti-gravity boots before coming, to give him a little more advantage.
Both of them got into their fighting poses as Dylan stepped in the middle acting as the referee.
"Ready on the right?" He said pointing to Luis and the Angel responded with a nod.
"Ready on the left?" He said pointing to Ace and he too responded with a nod.
"Fight!" He declared before leaving the middle to give them the space to fight.
None of them were eager to attack first as they both walked around the edge in circles with Ace forming a wind ball with his right hand.
"You know there's no point keeping a power a secret in a world where almost everyone has supernatural powers." Ace said.
"Yeah," Luis replied with an awkward tone.
Ace seized the opportunity to throw his wind ball at the Angel but the Angel was fast on his feet as he did a very high flip to avoid that.
"When did he learn to jump that high?" Dylan muttered to himself.
Ace didn't stop there as he sent a large wind blast towards the Angel. Luis would have escaped it but the blast was too wide as it caught him at the last second and sent him a few feet back.
"Arrrrrrr!" Ace screamed as he jumped up high with large flows of wind surrounding him and quickly descended on the Angel.
'How am I even supposed to beat this guy?' Luis thought as he rolled away before Ace could hit him.
'If you keep fighting like this, you are not going to.' Lena said.
Missing the hit didn't slow Ace down as he immediately did a sweep kick motion which sent a wind slash toward Luis.
The Angel couldn't deal with it properly and got knocked off his feet.
"Using our power for evil is something we were told never to indulge in." Ace said as he approached the Angel with balls of wind in his hands.
'What is he even saying?' Luis thought.
'I think he knows something.' Lena said.
Ace didn't wait to get to him as he quickly converted the balls of wind to wind slashes and threw them at the Angel.
Luis did the only thing he knew he could do at the moment as he summoned his flaming sword with which he blocked the first wind slash but he wasn't so lucky with the second one as it slashed through his shoulder creating a year in his uniform and causing a little amount of blood to seep out.
[ -10 HP ]
[ 90/100 HP ]
"You know I was expecting much more than this from you." Ace said as he crossed his hands to release another pair of wind slashes but releasing them never worked out as he quickly received a punch down his gut.
"When did you even get up?" Ace asked as he staggered backward while clutching onto his stomach.
"So fast," Dylan said. He had seen Luis get up and the speed with which he had rushed to Ace, it all seemed like his eyes were playing tricks on him.
Luis took deep breaths as he looked at Ace who had gotten over the pain of his punch. He had finally decided to up his games by two points by adding the two stat points from his last level up to Agility.
"You're still not using everything you've got." Ace said as the wind began to circle him, lifting him up in the process.
Luis braced himself for whatever Ace was about to do as he pulled his sword in front but that was totally useless as a large blast of wind released by Ace quickly knocked the sword out of his hands and kept pushing him back until he hit a tree.
[ -20 HP ]
[ 70/100 HP ]
Ace didn't stop there as he encircled Luis with his wind and began to lift him up.
"You will go through all this just to keep a secret." Ace said.
"What are you talking about?" Luis asked.
"Stop pretending Luis, I know your whole I don't have an ability profile is a facade."
"What?"
"I've always suspected without being sure but today, I got the confirmation I needed."
"I don't know what you're talking about," Luis said.
If he had known Ace's true intentions when he asked him for a spar he would have definitely found a way around it
"Shut up!" Ace said as his wind moved to Luis' face and began to suffocate.
"What did you and Ella Jones do with that second-year student?"
All that could be heard of Luis was mumblings as he was trying to break free.
"Answer me!" Ace said as the wind surrounding the Angel's face compressed further.
"Ace, you're going to kill him!" Dylan screamed from the ground, he was hearing their conversation but he couldn't exactly make anything out of it.
"Shut up!" Ace said as he blasted him with wind, Dylan managed to put up an earth wall but it wasn't enough as the wind blasted through it and sent him flying back.
Luis struggled and struggled until he had finally gotten fed up with what Ace was doing to him.
"Enough!!!" He screamed as he broke free from the wind and immediately sent a large water blast toward his roommate.
"Water ability?" Ace gasped before the whole water blast took him, blasting him to the ground.
Dylan hadn't consciousness yet as witnessed what just happened with a shaking vision.
"Luis has an ability." He said before eventually passing out.
