Chapter 105 Fast Without Superspeed
Luis found himself in a dark room which seemed endless as he had been walking for what he could only describe as hours without getting anywhere.
"What is this place!?" He stomped his foot on the floor in anger which caused a ripple that soon disappeared.
"This is just an illustration." He heard a very familiar feminine voice say.
"You." He said. "What kind of illustration are you trying to show me now?"
"This is an illustration of how your path is going to be if you don\'t make the right choices." The voice said. "Dark, endless, and frustrating. Everything is in your hands, you have to make the right choice and choose the right part."
Luis felt like screaming after he had heard all those words.
"Who are you and why do you keep appearing in my dreams to show and tell me terrible things!?" He said looking around.
"I am only here to guide you, you do not need to know who I am."
"Screw you and your guidance if I can\'t know who you are," Luis said in annoyance.
"Oh Luis, still as naive as ever. You have no idea of the things to come your way."
"Yes I do, demons, lots of them, and that their damned king Lucifer."
"You have no idea of things beyond that."
"What?"
"You are a full-fledged Angel now Luis and some people will be coming for you because of that, just be careful." The voice said and before he could reply he began to hear something in his mind.
\'Make the right choices and be careful.\'
The words kept repeating in his mind while fading away until he found himself on his bed.
"Why do I keep having these types of dreams?" He rubbed his head as he got up from his bed.
He knew better than to call that an ordinary dream, it seemed like he was there in person.
\'Why does that woman keep appearing in my dreams?\' He thought.
"Hey, you are awake." His thoughts were interrupted by a wet Dylan who was just coming out of the bathroom with his towel around his neck.
Normal classes went as they normally did and when the bell for the combat class period rang the students didn\'t waste time locating their various classes, the combat class competition was upcoming and the students were already getting excited about it.
Luis kept looking at Orah who was walking on the other side just beside Silvia throughout their walk to the martial arts class.
"Hey, do you have a problem with him or something?" Dylan pulled him up outside to ask his question as the others entered the hall.
\'I should really stop looking at people strangely when I\'m thinking about them.\' Luis thought.
"No," Luis said, shaking his head. "I was just admiring his….. haircut."
He didn\'t waste time abandoning Dylan and walking into the hall after giving that answer.
"He was admiring his haircut?" Dylan found the answer awkward but still shrugged it off as he entered the hall.
Michael was already there in his normal black robes, Monica and Henry weren\'t there yet but the door was soon pushed open as the duo walked in.
"Alright since everyone is here now, we are going to finish up yesterday\'s event," Michael said.
"What didn\'t we finish in yesterday\'s event?" Ella said with a low voice.
"Your fight with the wonder warrior," Michael replied.
Everyone cleared the space in the center as the two roommates were now standing there opposite each other, ready for the fight.
"Remember abilities can only be used for defense only," Michael said, giving Ella a stern look. "Ok, you can start now." He added before returning to where he was standing.
Ella was the first to attack as she ran forward and tried to deliver a punch to Silvia\'s face but she was fast enough to duck on time and then landed a sliding kick on Ella\'s legs.
If she had not enhanced her legs in time she would have fallen but because of the enhancement, she was only sent staggering backward.
Before she could regain her composure from that heavy kick, Silvia was already upon her and this time sent a punch towards her ribs.
Ella retaliated with a punch of her own on her face, she had enhanced her hands to the extent that the wonder warrior\'s mouth was bleeding now.
"Sorry," Ella said on seeing the blood in her mouth but she didn\'t make any sound that showed that she was in pain.
Ella used the opportunity to create a distance between both of them. Silvia spat the blood in her mouth out and immediately went on a rampage.
"Wasn\'t that her speed ability?" Ella complained at how fast Silvia had closed up on her now but Michael didn\'t make a comment.
Kicks and punches were now being sent on Ella at a wonderful speed, but with her enhancement ability but soon she started getting overwhelmed as her ability points dropped until there was nothing left.
With her ability worn out Ella could no longer keep up with Silvia\'s speed as she received a kick that sent her staggering a few feet back before dropping to the floor with her hands clutching onto her stomach.
"Wasn\'t that superspeed?" She groaned.
"No, I have an ability detecting device here and if she did the device would have indicated that just like all the time you used your ability to defend and retaliate," Michael said, giving her a stern look.
She had broken the rules by using her ability to attack after defending with it but Michael didn\'t interrupt the fight because it was clear she would lose.
\'She\'s this fast without her speed ability?\' Was a surprising thought on everyone\'s mind.
After watching the fight between Ella and Silvia Luis now understood why he had lost so easily even without knowing how to fight properly. It was his poor stats.
[ Physical status ]
[ Strength: 27 ]
[ Stamina: 19 ]
[ Agility: 17 ]
He used to think that his stats were high in number but now he knew they weren\'t, Silvia had easily overpowered him in strength, his stamina wasn\'t enough to keep him rooted on the floor and his agility just wasn\'t enough to enhance his movements.
His stats were low and the only way he knew he could improve them was from the little exp he got after each level up, that was a problem now.
[ 820/3150 EXP ]
Leveling up wasn\'t going to be anytime soon unless he received a really tough quest.
\'Isn\'t there another way to improve my stats?\' The question was directed to his system but there was no reply.
"Alright everyone," Michael said to call all their attention. "I am sure that you all already know about the upcoming competition between the combat classes. The competition is getting close and that is the reason we will start our martial arts training today."
\'Finally.\' The students all had the same thought, they had been waiting for this day since joining this class.
****
Inside a well-furnished house with a good amount of light coming in from the window, George could be seen sitting on the couch with his head down while a man in a white shirt and shorts was standing right in front of him.
The man was none other than his father who looked exactly like an older version of him.
"Answer me, George, where is my sword?" He asked. "You ran back to school with my boots, dagger, gloves, and my precious sword and now you return here without my favorite of all those things."
George couldn\'t say anything as he couldn\'t bring himself to tell his father that he was beaten by a first-year student and after that, the sword went missing.
But then an evil thought immediately came to his mind.
"It was stolen, father." He said before his father could repeat himself.
He could see his father\'s face turn furious after he said that and he smiled inwardly this was what he wanted.
"Why don\'t we pay your school a visit and see who had the guts to steal from a Freelyn?"
George smiled as he had gotten the result he wanted.
"Yes, we should father."
