My Angel system

Chapter 63 Uprooting The Tree

The quest given to Luis this time wasn't to win the fight or knock Michael out, rather all he needed to do was bring Michael down.

'Does he really have that much stamina?' Luis wondered.

He didn't hear the conversation between Ella and Michael during their fight and just assumed that she gave up.

He already had a good plan for winning but his system was now telling him that bringing down Michael was going to be tough.

'If only there was a tree around here.' Luis thought, looking at his hands.

When he had drained energy from the tree in the forest, it had given him a considerable boost but when returning he had noticed that the tree had completely wilted.

If a tree died after taking energy from it, then there was a good chance that the same could happen to a human.

He didn't want to find out if that was going to be the case and would just stick to trees and maybe other wild animals.

Looking at the quest on his system screen, Luis wished he had borrowed energy from a tree on his way here, at least then he would have had a better chance of bringing Michael down.

"Let's see if you will be skipping the physical training," Michael said.

"I don't think I want to skip the class," Luis said.

That was the truth, Luis didn't really want to skip the physical training as it didn't take much of a toll on his body like the others, he just wanted to see if he would be able to beat Michael or how badly he would lose.

But his system had now turned into a competition for him.

"Oh, you just want to see if you can beat me, well then come on then."

Luis began his attacks, trying to get a hit in on Michael but the martial arts instructor was good at blocking and parrying his attacks while stepping backward and to the side.

'Do you think Luis can beat him?' Ella asked the ancient being in her necklace.

'If the young Angel can utilize his powers well, he should be able to.'

At that time Henry who had been knocked out for some minutes began to regain consciousness.

"What happened?" He asked, rubbing his head.

"You were knocked out." Monica was the one who was close to answer his question.

He looked around to see Luis still trying to get a hit on Michael.

Silvia was still sitting at the far end watching the fight while the others were standing.

"Did you win?"

Monica shook her head. "None of us have, he's the last one." She said pointing at Luis.

Monica could swear she heard Henry heave a sigh of relief after she told him that nobody had been able to win Michael.

He would feel ashamed of himself if he heard that someone was able to defeat him while he was knocked out cold.

"I expected way more than this from you," Michael said after Luis sent a kick towards his face which he easily blocked with his hands. "Your punches have strength in them but they are a bit slow."

'That's what I want you to think.' Luis smiled inwardly.

Luis sent a punch towards Michael's face and when he blocked it successfully he felt a stinging pain on his left knee.

The punch was just a distraction for Luis to kick him in the right place that would weaken anybody's stamina, the knees.

'Is he using an enhancement ability?' Michael tried to figure out where the strength behind his punch was coming from. 'Or maybe he has been holding back.'

The kick had affected him but Michael wasn't going to show it as he stepped back and tried to retaliate with his own kick which Luis was able to avoid by simply stepping out of the way.

For the first time, Michael wasn't looking calm any longer.

"I think Luis has hurt him somewhat," Monica said.

"Yeah," Dylan said, looking at the fight.

Ella was surprised by what she was seeing now, even with her enhancement ability she wasn't able to hurt Michael up to the extent of losing his calmness.

'You can't compare your ability to the strength of an Angel.'

To everyone's greatest surprise Michael was the one to rush in this time to attack Luis.

Luis was struggling to block the attacks while taking some hits here and there, he was slowly getting overwhelmed by Michael.

"You have strong hits that can break down most defenses. But how good are you at defending?" Michael said sending a powerful hit towards Luis' stomach, it was on target as Luis couldn't do anything to stop it.

The kick was so powerful that Luis fell on his knees with little drops of blood leaving his mouth.

[ -10 HP ]

[ 10/30 HP ]

Luis knew that if his hp had been lower than eleven then he would have probably been a dead man by now.

'Did he have to kick me so hard? I thought this was just a friendly spar?'

"And the same result again," Monica said with a depressed tone, she really thought Luis was going to be able to do something.

"I think he tried," Ella said.

"You are blessed with good strength, but that doesn't make up for skill and experience," Michael said looking down at Luis who was still kneeling on the floor while holding his stomach and looking down.

Michael turned his back to walk back to his office and that was when Luis raised his head and there was a smile on his face.

"I never surrendered."

Before Michael could move any further he stretched his right foot, placing it in front of him and using his left leg he kicked both of his knee joints as fast and as hard as he could.

"What the" Michael said as he came crashing on the floor with his face.

The rest of the students couldn't believe it, the teacher they struggled to bring down had been brought down before their very eyes and it didn't look like Luis did it with much effort.

'That's a smart Angel.' Jasmine said, sounding a little bit cheerful.

'Yeah, that was a really smart move.'

"He really brought him down," Monica said.

"I knew he would be able to do something." A cheerful Dylan.

"He tricked him."

Among all the positive expressions Henry was the only one to say something negative but he was met with a scolding look from Monica.

Getting up from the floor Michael was furious, it was true that the fight wasn't over yet as Luis wasn't knocked out yet neither did he surrender but he had tricked him and attacked from behind unexpectedly.

"Maybe I should just knock you out then."

Michael sent a kick towards Luis' head but it wasn't as strong as the others but enough to knock the Demi-Angel out as he fell flat on his back.

[ Quest Completed ]

[ 350 EXP granted ]

[ (+1) stat added to strength ]

Luis had a creepy smile on his face before eventually losing consciousness, his quest was complete and that was all he wanted to know.
