My Angel system

Chapter 28 Soul Weaponless

Luis waited a little while so that Greg could freshen up before he would go and meet him. He would have loved to ask Tammy but right now he needed to learn from someone better.

Greg was sitting on a chair on the front porch having a drink when Luis came to meet him.

"How are you doing Luis?" Greg asked before he even got close.

"I'm fine," Luis replied casually.

"I can see you are really in need of something," Greg said taking a sip from his wine.

"How did you know?"

"Well, you wouldn't be walking to me like that if you didn't want anything," Greg said. "So tell me. What is it?"

Luis took a deep breath before he spoke.

"I want you to teach me how to form my soul weapon."

Greg smiled as he took another sip from his wine.

"Uh um! This is good, you want some?" He said chucking his glass at Luis.

Luis gave him a confused stare.

"Alright, I'll show you the process, but I can't guarantee that you have a soul weapon."

"Ok," Luis said.

Greg expected him to leave when he had given him that answer, but he was still standing there.

"We will be returning to school tomorrow and who knows if there will be those stronger than Raph there so yes I need to learn," Luis said guessing correctly what was on Greg's mind.

"You do make a great point," Greg said as he consumed the final liquid in his glass. "So what's your spot?"

"Huh?"

"Where do you find convenient for learning," Greg explained.

Luis didn't waste time pointing at the cool spot under the large tree where he and Tammy always trained.

Greg and Luis walked over to the spot and now it was time to begin the learning process.

"This will take out a lot from me today," Greg muttered to himself but Luis managed to hear what he said.

"Is it really that tiring?"

"It won't be for you."

Greg told Luis to sit down on the floor and he did so casually stretching his leg across the floor.

He then sat down next to him but his legs were crossed around his body like one would when he was meditating, Luis quickly took note of this and did the same.

"Now close your eyes," Greg said with a soothing voice.

Luis did as he was told and slowly closed his eyes.

"Now empty your mind."

"Really?" Luis said." How can one even do that?"

"Just empty your mind, think of nothing."

Luis shrugged and attempted to do what he was told and fortunately, he succeeded.

With Luis' mind emptied he could now see himself in a dark space.

When he looked ahead he could see a woman standing not too far away from him, what caught his attention the most was because he was familiar with that face, it was the woman he had seen in his dream once, the one who had identical eyes to his.

********

Luis finally opened his eyes but he had a horrid look on his face.

"Did you see it?" Greg asked.

"See what?"

"The outline of what you want your soul weapon to be," Greg said. "It's like a blueprint."

"No." Luis blurted out."All I could see was dark empty spaces and a wo..... just forget it." Luis said with annoyance as he walked off into the house.

Greg was still sitting on the floor and he looked confused.

'Not seeing it the first time doesn't mean you don't have it.'

Soul weapons were essential for humans in this generation, once a child had grown up to teenage he would be taught how to create his soul weapon.

Once your mind was empty and you were transported to that dark space you would be able to see the outline of what you want your soul weapon to be, this was why one had to get familiar with a particular weapon before creating a soul weapon, because people could mostly only create one soul except for people like the Phillips other people could mostly create one and once the process was done it was done there was no reverse engineering to it.

Creating a soul weapon took up to two weeks or a month after the person had seen the weapon outline, but in some people, it would take a week but nothing less than that.

Luis wasn't thinking in the same lines as Greg because he had an encounter inside his mind and he didn't like the message one little bit.

When Luis had emptied his mind and found himself inside his own mind another person was waiting for him there.

"You don't need it Luis and you don't have it." She said.

"What are you talking about?" Luis asked. "I mean who are you?"

"I am not here to chat with you s….. you are wasting your time."

"How?"

"You don't need a soul weapon, because you can never get one."

"What do you mean I can't get one?" Luis was starting to get irritated by the woman's words, who was she to tell him what he couldn't get? She was acting like the stupid machine that had told him that he had zero potential.

"You don't need it."

"Then how am I meant to fight without a weapon of my own."

"You have something special Luis and when the time comes you will know what I'm talking about."

Luis wanted to curse her in his mind but the words just came out sounding like an echo bouncing on different spots.

"You bastard! Who are you!?"

The woman smiled and said.

"You will know when the time comes."

"No, I want to know now." Luis quickly used his speed to try and grab her but she shifted backward and then vanished leaving one last word for him.

"You've really improved."

Luis couldn't get the thing out of his head and it was driving him crazy, he felt like that woman was closer to him than he thought but he had only seen her in his dream and then now in his mind.

'Has she been watching me?' Luis thought about her last words to him.

'Am I not able to create a soul weapon?' Luis thought examining his body.

Too much thinking was clearly not good for Luis and he had soon crashed on his bed falling asleep instantly.

The next morning Luis woke up to a ding sound and a very familiar monotone female voice.

Luis looked at his screen and braced himself for his journey today.

It was time to return to a school he never got to know.
