My Angel system

Chapter 65 Suspicion

Ciara had come out to meet up with his brother when she saw him heading to a shop from afar, she hurried to catch up to him, but when she got close, she noticed that Luis was following him.

She wouldn't have found out if Luis was following him if it wasn't for her special ability.

Aware that someone was following her brother, she decided to keep a safe distance while watching Luis as he followed her brother.

It was at the time Luis made his move did she realize what was about to happen.

"But why would he do that?" She said as she stood behind the tree from which Luis just left.

She readied her bow and arrow and shot it towards Luis before he could do anything that she wasn't going to like.

These were the events that led Luis into the predicament he was in now.

Knowing that his identity needed to be kept secret Luis had covered his face with his scarf before making his move towards the boy.

Luke, who happened to be Ciara's brother, was the one Luis was about to deal with before her sister intervened.

"Who are you?" Luke asked, pointing at Luis. "You are the one that beat up Zach aren't you?"

Luis was silent as he tried to think of the best course of action.

"Well since you are going to be silent, I and my little sister here are going to get our answers by force."

Luke released a water blast towards Luis but he was able to avoid it completely by stepping out of the way.

The water blast continued towards Ciara who was able to stop it completely with a water blast of her own.

'I guess their family ability is water, but that was slower than Pearl's meaning that getting hit by that won't kill me.'

"You are fast," Luke said and immediately went rampage with his water blasts, same with Ciara.

With attacks coming in from both directions Luis knew that dodging it was going to be almost impossible and that was why Luis took the best course of action.

A wall of earth was raised in front of him protecting him from both attacks, but with more pressure, the walls were crumbling and Luis was doing his best to replace them.

[ 20/50 Earth points ]

'My ability point is falling, but so is theirs.' Luis smiled as an idea popped into his head.

Seeing that their water ability wasn't making much of an impact the siblings stopped.

The wall covering Luis was still up but soon it began to crumble and when it did Luis wasn't there.

"Where did he go?" Luke said, looking around.

Ciara was quiet as she stared at the crumbled pieces of earth.

"Can you see him?" Luke said.

"Behind you!" Ciara yelled, but it was already too late because as soon as she said those words her brother came slumping on the ground.

"Mission accomplished," Luis said with an altered voice before disappearing into the forest.

Ciara bent down and touched her brother and she was glad that he was still alive.

The siblings had continued blasting water on the wall, unaware that Luis had already left and that was the time he attacked Luke from the back, a little hit, that was all it took him to knock the guy out.

'But who would be after someone just to knock him out?' Ciara thought.

Luis came out from the forest breathing heavily, he had made it to the first-year dormitory but he had done so while running through the forest.

[ Quest update ]

[ Punish your oppressors ]

[ Progress: 2/4 ]

'That was harder than I thought.'

Luis made his way to his dorm room and knocked on the door.

"It's open!" He heard Ace yell from inside.

Luis opened the door and entered the room. Ace was on his bed relaxing while Dylan was reading a book.

"Why is it open?"

"Let's say because someone melted the knob."

At this moment Luis regretted why he had asked that question, he was the one who melted the knob but with too many things to do he had forgotten about it.

"That's funny because none of us have fire ability."

"So you are saying it was a demon." Dylan joined the conversation.

"Come on Dyl…" Ace was cut short by Luis.

"Maybe," Luis said.

"And the demon entered the room." Ace said, giving Luis a weird look.

"I don't think it was a demon or else we'll all be dead," Dylan said.

"Yeah, maybe it was one of the students playing pranks on us," Luis said.

"But this door was locked last night and nobody opened it for you." Ace said getting on to his point.

"Like I said it was open."

[ Mind read blocked ]

Luis was surprised that his attempt to read Ace's mind was met with failure.

'He's also strong-willed?'

Luis was aware of what Ace was trying to do, he was suspicious of Luis about the whole melted knob thing but Luis wasn't ready to admit anything yet.

"So you are saying the doorknob was already melted before you arrived," Dylan said.

"Maybe." Luis said heading towards his bed."Oh, what a long day." He said stretching himself on his bed.

Ace sighed as he gave up the argument for now.

"So how was work today?" Ace asked.

"Work?" Luis said shifting in his bed.

"Yeah, work at the library."

"How did you?" Luis said and then his eyes turned to Dylan. "Dylan."

"He asked and I didn't see anything bad in telling him."

"You are really lucky to get a job there. What am I saying you are lucky to get a job at all." Ace said.

"Yeah."

******

That night while everyone was asleep a certain someone snuck out with his hoodie, his destination was the third-year male dormitory.

He walked through the corridor until he stopped right in front of the room belonging to George.

Zach opened the door and walked in to find George sitting on a chair with a pair of red daggers in his hands.

That sight was enough to send the shivers down his spine.

"What's the problem, Zach?" George said, putting the daggers down on the table in his room.

"Boss, we have a problem."

"I know and that was why I asked you what it is."

"Someone's after us."

"After us," George said with a chuckle. "What makes you think someone's after us?"

Zach went on to explain how a mysterious student had appeared from nowhere while he was doing his business and disrupted it.

"The person was clearly after you or just had to help who he thought was in trouble," George said.

"No boss, the same person went after Luke this night, he was following him."

"And what happened?"

"Luke's sister surprisingly showed up to help but he still managed to knock him out, once he did that he disappeared."

George kept touching his chin as he tried to put the puzzle pieces together.

"And this person was in the uniform right?"

"Yes, boss," Zach answered.

"Did you recognize his voice?" George asked.

"No, he deepened his voice so that I wouldn't recognize it."

"That means it is somebody that we may already know."

"Maybe," Zach said.

"Who was the last person we had a problem with?"

Now everything was coming to Zach, the only person they had a problem with was Luis, but still, something didn't make sense to him.

'That boy didn't seem to have any ability the day we fought, he didn't even use any ability against the boss, but I was knocked out by an earth user and so was Luke.'

"Are you saying.."

"I'm not saying it's him, but it can be him or maybe his friends or maybe that Tammy." There was a detest in his voice when he said Tammy's name.

"So what do we do boss?"

"He still hasn't gone after one person right?"

"Yes, Dan."

A mischievous smile appeared on George's face as he rubbed both of his hands together.

"Dan will be our bait, we are going to lead this person right into our trap and make sure he never has the limbs to do something like this again."

As George said those words he turned back to Zach with a sharp glance.

"All this fight is showing me how useless you and your friends are to me," George said with a menacing voice.

Zach's heart started to thump faster as he wondered what George was about to do to him.

"But I want that to change."

He picked up the red daggers on the table and handed them to Zach.

"You are giving me this," Zach said as he couldn't bring himself to take the daggers.

"If you are going to be useful in taking care of this threat then you need them."

Zach hesitantly took the daggers from his hand but immediately it entered his hands a smile appeared on his face.

Zach left the room with the daggers leaving George to wander in his thoughts.

'Somebody really wants his limbs broken by me.'

He went under his bed and pulled out a dark red sword.

'And it will be my pleasure to do so.'
