My Angel system

Chapter 360 Enemies

"So you're saying that there's someone out there who wants to hurt Luis and he is using this mind deception ability to try and do it," Tammy said.

"Yeah," Nova replied.

Luis along with Tammy and Pearl were in Nicole and Nova's room now and they also didn't forget to bring Ciara with them as she was lying on the couch in the living room still unconscious.

"Why?" Pearl asked. "He's just a first-year student, why will someone be targeting him like he did something to him?"

"Yeah," Tammy said with an awkward expression on her face as she turned to face Nicole.

"I wonder why the Lieutenant didn't show up on this one just like she did last night?" Nova said.

"None of their properties got damaged so it's none of their business," Nicole said, turning her gaze to Luis.

"Do you have any idea of who would want to do something bad to you?" Pearl asked.

"It has to be George and his gang," Luis said.

"George and his gang?" Tammy said with a baffled look on her face.

"How did you get involved with George again and when did he become a gangster?" Pearl asked.

"He has a secret gang in the school, I somehow found out about it and I may have gotten in the way of some of their operations," Luis said, scratching the back of his head.

"Are you trying to get yourself killed or something?" Pearl asked, staring at Luis in disbelief.

"I thought you learned something from the last time you fought him," Tammy said.

"Wait, what happened the last time he fought him?" Nicole asked.

"It would have ended in a worse way if Tammy and I didn't show but he still ended up in the clinic," Pearl said.

"Oh," Nicole said.

'He wasn't a full Angel then that's why.' Nova thought.

"I didn't get involved with him directly, it was just some of his gang members," Luis said.

"Why?" Pearl asked.

"Well, they are the ones who attack me most of the time," Luis said.

"Why would they attack you just like that?" Tammy asked.

"George has a system set up that prevents complaints about him and his gang from getting to us and to prevent the student from trying to report him again, he has some of his gang members hanging around to beat the student up after he or she must have made the report," Nicole explained.

"Wait, you know about this?" Pearl said, turning to Nicole.

"I found out through Luis, he was trying to take care of it himself," Nicole said.

Pearl turned to Luis with a dumbfounded look on her face, she always thought of Luis as a weak first-year student who had no ability and needed protection but she had no idea he had been doing things like this back at the academy.

Tammy would have been surprised to hear that Luis was doing things like this but she already knew Luis was an Angel so it wasn't really something to be surprised about but she had to act surprised though.

"If you had just minded your own business and just reported them, they wouldn't be targeting you now," Pearl said. "What were you thinking Luis?"

"There were hurting students and taking their coins, I had to do something about it," Luis said.

'Plus I also did it for the exps.'

'You went into most of those fights because of the exp.' Lena said.

'Yeah, the exp is a big motivation but I still want to stop George from doing what he's doing.'

"You're not a hero Luis, you're a first-year student and you don't even have an ability, you're going to get seriously hurt if you keep doing this," Pearl said.

'She really cares about you.' Lena said.

"I think we should talk less about what Luis has already done and focus on whoever this may be because there's a chance that it may not even be George and his gang," Nova said.

As soon as Nova had finished saying that, Pearl had turned to Luis with a questioning look on her face.

"Do you have any other enemies apart from George and his gang?" She asked.

"Can I get some water please?" Tammy asked, turning her gaze to Nicole.

"Sure, there's water in the freezer in the kitchen," Nicole said, pointing toward the kitchen.

"Okay," Tammy said quickly making her way there.

"I don't think so," Luis replied, shaking his head.

'I've been thinking about it and I think you should ask Jaren in your list of suspects, I know he said he wouldn't disturb you again after the spar but I think he's still going to have a grudge against you given the fact that you beat him.' Lena said.

"Are you sure?" Pearl asked.

"Umm…. there is someone I may have upset recently but I don't think he would go this far to do something to me." Luis said.

"Who?" Pearl asked.

"Jaren, he's a second-year student," Luis said.

"A second-year student? What did you do to him?" Pearl asked as she couldn't believe the rate at which a first-year student with no abilities was gathering enemies.

"He was bullying one of my friends and all I did was save him," Luis said.

"You're not a hero Luis, you don't always have to get involved," Pearl said. "You're only a first-year student."

"What was I supposed to do? Stand and watch my friend get pummeled?" Luis said.

'You know family would be the right term to use because he shares the same aura with you now.' Lena said.

Pearl was about to say something else to Luis when she felt Nova's hand on her shoulder.

"We can talk about getting him to stop playing hero later, right now we have to figure out a way to catch whoever this person with mind deception is," Nova said.

"Luis you have to stop doing things like this, if you feel like you're in trouble, you can always contact me or Tammy, I know I would be there as fast as possible," Pearl said.

"Okay, now we have George and his gang and then Jaren," Nicole said, sitting down on the couch.

Tammy had returned from the kitchen with a bottle of water in her hand to find no one talking in the room.

"With what we know so far, I think the people we should look into in this case are George and his gang," Nicole said.

"Yeah," Nova said.

"The only confusing thing is that none of them we know from his gang has a mind deception ability," Nicole said. "None of the students in our academy has a mind deception ability."

"So they are probably working with someone from any of the other academies," Pearl said.

"Yeah but I asked the teachers in charge of keeping students' records in the other academies if they had students with mind deception in their academy and they all said no," Nicole said.

"What? That's not right." Pearl said.

"I hope you are aware that some students refuse to mention their abilities while being registered, their parents tag their abilities as confidential so the academy ends up putting no ability in their records," Tammy said, moving closer to them.

"Yeah, I am aware of that," Nicole said.

"So nobody knows who this person with this mind deception ability is because his ability was a secret from the start," Pearl said.

"Yeah," Nicole said.

Their conversation was suddenly interrupted by a little cough coming from Ciara and it didn't take long before she had sprung up from where she was lying.

"Where is he?!" She asked as she sprang up from where she was lying.

"Where is who?" Pearl asked as she had rushed to her just to make sure that she wasn't going to attack Luis if she was still under the mind deception.

"Norman, where is he?" Ciara asked, looking around.

"Hey, hey calm down," Pearl said, trying to calm her down.

"Don't tell me to calm down, that man needs to pay for his sins," Ciara said.

It was as though she wasn't seeing Luis and the others who were also in the room.

"But he isn't here, he was never here," Pearl said.

"What are you talking about? I was fighting him before I somehow fell unconscious." Ciara said.

"No you weren't, you were fighting him," Pearl said, turning her gaze to Luis.

Ciara followed her gaze and it was then that she had seen Luis.

"Luis?" She said with a confused expression on her face.
