My Angel system

Chapter 152 Conviction

Ace wasn't getting up from the floor, the water blast from Luis didn't knock him out, the teenager had the strength to get up but he didn't want to because of the thoughts running through his mind.

'He has two elemental abilities, but how can that be possible?' He thought.

He felt a shiver run through his spine as he heard footsteps approaching him slowly.

'I can believe someone like this has been my roommate all this while.'

Ace slowly opened his eyes immediately after the footsteps had stopped very close to him, with his eyes now open he could see Luis standing in front of him with his hair all messed up.

"Get up," Luis said and with a motion from his hand, Ace was lifted from the ground by earth.

The earth didn't just lift him as two large rings formed from the earth and locked both of his hands on it.

Ace tried to pull both of his hands free but his efforts proved futile and when he tried to kick the large earth down with his legs two more large rings of earth formed and pulled both of his legs down.

"Who are you and what do you want with this school?" Ace asked still struggling to break free.

"No, you answer my questions first," Luis said, his face alone could show how annoyed he was. "Why the heck are you trying to kill me?"

"I wasn't trying to kill you." Ace said.

"Then what were you trying to prove by almost suffocating me?"

"I was just trying to find out the truth."

"The truth about what?"

"The truth about you, you have been lying to everyone all this while, you're not who you say you are."

"Yes I have been lying to everyone, I know it isn't normal for someone to have two elemental abilities or three," Luis said.

"Three?" Ace said to make sure he heard that right.

"Yes, I have three elemental abilities," Luis said as a ball of flames appeared on his right hand which he had already raised. "And that's because I'm not human."

The Angel knew keeping his powers a secret from those really close to him was going to be really tough but he wasn't planning on keeping his true identity a secret from everybody.

His system had given him a quest to get human allies and to convince those humans and get them on his side for good he has to tell them who he really was.

He wasn't just going to start telling everyone he saw that he was an Angel and start convincing them to become his allies.

There are ways to reveal his identity and seal that conviction in the mind of the person just like what happened with Tammy.

He already had three humans on his ally list and today he had already made up his mind to add two more but he just hoped that things weren't going to go the wrong way.

Luis' declaration that he wasn't human didn't stir up any feeling of surprise from Ace rather it caused the teenager to start chuckling softly and later on those chuckles turned to real laughter.

"Of course I know you're not human, you're a demon here to silently kidnap every student in this academy." Ace said immediately after his laughter came to a stop.

"What are you talking about?" Luis asked with a surprised look as the fire in his hands slowly died off.

"Don't act surprised, I was following you and watching closely as you and Ella Jones knocked that year two student out and teleported away with him." Ace said. "I wonder what you did to her?"

'He was following us?' Now Luis knew the real reason Ace had done everything he had been monitoring him.

"There's a proper explanation to that Ace," Luis said.

"Why don't you just take me and Dylan away and stop pretending?"

"I am not taking anyone away because I am not a demon!" Luis said.

"Then what are you?"

Luis was silent for a little while before replying.

"An Angel," Luis said.

"An Angel."

All this while Ace had been speaking like someone who felt like there was no hope for him because he believed he had been captured by a demon but when he heard Luis say the word Angel there was a little bit of hope in his reply but he still wasn't fully buying what Luis was selling.

"How are you an Angel and you still kidnap students?" Ace asked.

"There's a proper explanation to that," Luis said. "I did kidnap him but it was because I mistakenly turned him into something he didn't know until a few hours ago.

"I know you're finding it hard to believe me, you think I'm a demon who wants to kidnap students but I'm the opposite of exactly what you're thinking.

"If you want you can go to the year two area and look for the student you saw me teleport away with, you'll see that he's okay."

Ace was quiet as he tried to take in everything Luis had just told him.

'Is this guy really serious about being an Angel? But I thought Angels were no longer on earth.'

Luis didn't wait for Ace to reply as he let him loose by causing all the earth holding him in place to turn into tiny bits of soil.

"Luis." A groaning voice called him from behind.

The Angel quickly turned to see Dylan who was struggling to get up.

"Who are you?" Dylan groaned.

As the sun began to set Nova could be seen as she quickly walked out of the tallest building in the academy, she didn't stop there as she began to head to her apartment which was a little distance away from the building, walking as fast as she could.

It was a two-story building that happened to be home to some of the staff working in the academy. Nova didn't waste time going up the stairs.

Her apartment was the first one on the second floor which made things easier for her as she quickly pulled her door open and slammed it shut completely ignoring the male teacher who was about to approach maybe she didn't even notice him.

She quickly dimmed the lights in her sitting room and quickly walked to the table and placed her hand on it while still standing.

White light shone through her hand before a white rectangular was suddenly projected in front of her. It didn't remain a white empty frame forever as an image of someone slowly came into view.

It was the image of the same Angel who had sent her on this mission, Nova immediately went down on one knee after seeing him.

"My lord." She said.

"There's no time for greetings Nova." The Angel said. "Something mysterious has just happened here in heaven."

"Mysterious?" Nova said with a surprised tone.

"Yes, an eleventh crystal suddenly appeared from nowhere."

"Eleventh crystal, but how?"

"I wouldn't have called it mysterious if I knew how it came to be."

"What do you need me to do?" Nova said already aware that there was something for her to do.

"We all know that every crystal in heaven links to a pure Angel and the sudden appearance of a crystal means there must somehow be a pure Angel somewhere out there.

"Start investigating to see if there's anything relating that to the Angel on earth."

"I'm not sure that would be the case," Nova said.

"What do you mean?"

"The Angel here, I've already seen him, he's just a common Angel with no grade," Nova said.

"Then there's no way it's him, I would have told you to capture him and return but for the sake of this strange crystal, you'll have to stay there and check things out a little more."

"Really." There was cheer in Nova's voice as she said that but the stern look from the other Angel was enough to force her back to her formal way. "I mean I won't disappoint you, my lord."

"You better not." He said as the white screen slowly vanished into thin air.

"I thought I was about to receive a nagging from him to return home immediately but instead I've been given more days here," Nova said as she slowly lay down on the couch.

She looked relaxed but her mind wasn't relaxed as thoughts about what had just been told to her crossed her mind.

'An eleventh crystal chance of another pure Angel but I thought that only ten pure Angels existed and only ten crystals were associated with them.' She thought. 'Whatever the cause of that may be, I just hope it's not going to be a threat.'
