Chapter 264 Suspicion Created
After Tammy and Presley had been carried off the arena, the matching process had begun again and after the images had been displayed on the screen, the Lieutenant announced their names.
Luis looked at the screen with a confused expression on his face because Lieutenant Kate had said that the current fight was going to be the last fight for this round.
\'But I haven\'t fought yet.\' The Angel thought.
"I think I know what happened here."
Luis turned to his side to see Orah standing beside him.
"What?" Luis asked.
"The fight currently going on in the arena is the thirteenth fight which means twenty-six students have fought so far while twenty-seven students made it to this round," Orah said.
"One person won\'t get to fight," Luis said.
"And that one person is you," Orah said. "I think they decided to do it like this because you\'re the only person whose profile shows he has no ability."
"Yeah," Luis said.
What Orah had just said made a whole lot of sense but he still wasn\'t fully convinced and wanted to hear what Lieutenant Kate would say after the current fight.
The fight was between a third-year student and a first-year student who were both earth ability users.
The third-year student was one of the huge boys in the class and looking at the two of them the students were already sure who was going to win.
The countdown began as the two students got ready for the fight.
As soon as the countdown was over, the first-year student summoned his spear, and stepping back a few feet, he ran forward and threw the spear toward the third-year student.
The third-year student didn\'t move until the spear had gotten close and he formed a wall to block the spear.
The spear stuck into the earth wall and the third-year student quickly grabbed the spear and broke it into two.
"Breaking someone\'s weapon like that isn\'t right if you want to keep the fight fair," Monica said with a disgusted look on her face.
The first-year student was a bit startled to see his spear broken like that but he didn\'t let the pressure he was feeling now get to him as he formed two fist blades on his hand ready for whatever the third-year student was going to throw at him.
The third-year student ran towards him at full speed and when he had gotten closer he pulled out a large piece of earth from the ground, converted it into tiny pieces of blades, and sent them all flying towards the first-year student.
The first-year student was quick to react as he formed an earth wall to block the attacks but he had made a mistake by using the earth wall to block his view.
The blades had stopped hitting the earth wall as he slowly brought down the wall only to see that there was no one in front of him.
That was when he felt a stinging pain at the back of his head as his vision slowly faded leading to him dropping to the floor.
"Ok, that was easy but I don\'t think anybody will be finding it easy in the next round." Lieutenant Kate said.
"The next round was supposed to be today but because some of the students who were involved in tough battles will need some rest, the final round of the fighting competition will be tomorrow along with the other added events.
"There was a remnant in this fight because the number of fighters was an odd number, he will however participate in the next round the reason being that he is the only student without an ability and was the best choice to leave out of today\'s fight." Lieutenant Kate said.
"I guess you were right," Luis said, turning to Orah who responded with a nod.
\'If she knew who you really were you would have gotten paired with someone like Tammy on purpose.\' Lena said.
\'Yeah but she\'s not supposed to know.\' Luis replied.

Silvia stared at Ajax who was resting on Ella\'s body for a while before turning her gaze back to Ella.
"So you\'re saying that Luis tamed three wolves and one of the wolves which was a female wolf later gave birth to more wolves which Ajax is a part of," Silvia said.
"Yeah," Ella said.
"But I thought Luis didn\'t have any ability." Silvia said.
"I don\'t know how he got the wolves under his control but he told me to keep it a secret," Ella said.
She had decided to tell Silvia the truth about Ajax but for now, she was going to try and leave out the part about him being an Angel.
"So he\'s keeping his ability a secret," Silvia said. "But why?"
"I don\'t know," Ella said, shaking her head.
"Okay but that still doesn\'t explain how Ajax has a fire ability," Silvia said.
"I was getting to that, it turns out the wolves had their system contaminated with dark magic," Ella said.
"Dark magic?" Silvia said.
"Yeah, it\'s like some kind of aura magic that makes up the body of a Demon," Ella said. "Most of the unstable dark magic in the mother wolf was transferred to Ajax during birth and instead of contaminating part of his body, the Orah spread throughout his body to convert him into a Demon Wolf," Ella said, rubbing the wolf cub\'s head.
"So out of all the other wolf cubs, he\'s the only Demon Wolf," Silvia said.
"Yeah," Ella replied.
"How did you guys even understand the whole concept behind him turning into a Demon Wolf and how did you even know that the wolves were contaminated by dark magic?" Silvia asked with a confused expression on her face. "Looking at Ajax I can\'t even tell the difference between him and a normal wolf."
"Luis has done a good amount of research on dark magic," Ella replied, that was the only good answer she could think of.
"He has?" Silvia said.
"Yeah," Ella replied, rubbing Ajax\'s head.
The wolf cub didn\'t seem to be paying much attention to their conversation as he had his eyes closed.
"Ok," Silvia said as she sat down on her bed.
\'Why would he be doing research on dark magic?\' The Wonder warrior thought.
She wasn\'t satisfied with the answers Ella had given her and she knew she wasn\'t going to give her a half-baked answer if she asked why he was doing the research.
\'I thought that boy was just ordinary but I guess I was totally wrong.\' Silvia thought as she turned her gaze to Ajax.
Ella thought she had clarified to her friend about the wolf and cleared any form of suspicion that may come up but what she had just done was create suspicion in her.
