Chapter 384 Aura Bond
The sun had almost completely set when Luis and Nicole walked out from Lieutenant Iris\' office.
Nicole had quite an unpleasant look on her face after all those talks with the Lieutenant whom she found to be very annoying.
Nova was waiting for them outside and quickly made her way to them as soon as she spotted them.
"So how did it go?" Nova asked on getting closer to them.
"What does my face say?" Nicole asked, staring at Nova with a furious look on her face.
"Oh," Nova said slowly, turning her gaze to Luis to get an answer but the young Angel had responded with a shrug.
"Did you get the students to the clinic?" Nicole asked.
"Yeah," Nova responded with a nod.
"And Ciara?" Luis asked.
"She\'s okay," Nova said. "She\'s still at the clinic with her blonde friend waiting for their friend to wake up."
"Okay," Luis said.
"So do you mind telling me what she told you guys, you know I can just break through your mind and get it right?" Nova said, looking at Nicole. Her voice sounded a little bit threatening.
"She just gave us another one of her made-up rules," Nicole said with an annoyed voice as she walked past the Guardian Angel.
"What rule?" Nova asked, turning to her.
"You know how she said Luis is going to get isolated if he gets into any of those fights in public?"
"Yeah," Nova said.
"Well, that rule now applies to his friends," Nicole said.
"His friends?" Nova said, turning to Luis with an appalled look on her face.
"Yeah," Nicole said with a nod.
"That\'s not fair." The Guardian Angel said. "How many friends do you have Luis?"
"My friends?" Luis said, sounding like he didn\'t hear her the first time.
"Yeah, how many friends do you have?" Nova repeated the question.
"Ummm…let\'s see."
\'Ace, Ella, Tania, Ciara, I think it\'s just four.\'
\'Are you sure those are your only friends?\' Lena asked. \'What about Sonia, Tammy, Pearl, Dylan, Orah, Monica?\'
\'Okay not everyone on that list is exactly my friend but I\'ll take it.\' The Angel replied.
"Is it really taking you this long to count the number of friends you have?" Nova said. "How many friends do you even have?"
"Eleven," Luis answered.
"You have nine friends?" Nova said, sounding a bit surprised.
"Okay, here\'s what you\'re going to do now," Nicole said, stepping closer to him. "Find a way to tell them to stay away from you until this case is solved."
"What do you mean by \'find a way?" Luis asked.
"Find a way to tell them privately, you cannot be seen with any of them in public until this case is solved, that is if you don\'t want them to get isolated," Nicole said.
"You are aware that if the person behind this is George just like we all suspect then he must already know about your friends and will most likely attack any of them when he gets the chance." Nova expressed.
"Yeah, that\'s right but I don\'t think he is going to attack everybody on the list," Luis said.
"Huh?" Nova said.
"He will target those he knows that he can hurt," Luis said.
\'Yeah, I wouldn\'t go near people like Tammy, Pearl, Orah, and even Ella if I were him.\' Lena said.
"So what are you trying to say?" Nicole asked.
"I will warn all of them to be on alert and make the run for it anytime someone tries to attack them," Luis said.
"Okay, you go do that, I\'m going to tell Kelvin about all these tomorrow, and then maybe we can start looking into our number one suspect," Nicole said. "We don\'t have anything to prove that it\'s him yet but something must come out of a proper investigation."
"Okay," Luis said.
"You should go tell them, be fast about it," Nicole said before turning to start walking back to the staff apartment area.
"Hey, I will catch up with you later, I need to talk to Luis about something," Nova said.
"Okay," Nicole said before continuing her walk out of the area.
Nova watched her until she was out of the area before she slowly turned her gaze back to Luis.
"You know you could have caught whoever that was today," Nova said.
"I thought we\'ve already been through this, I couldn\'t see any aura trails," Luis said.
"Yeah, but you could have used your ultra aura vision," Nova said.
"My ultra what now?" Luis said with a confused expression on his face.
"Ultra aura vision, it\'s an advanced form of aura vision that enables you to see even the thinnest of auras," Nova explained. "That\'s how I was able to find out about the demon, don\'t you have it?"
"No," Luis replied, shaking his head.
"I\'m pretty sure I had ultra aura vision when I was at your level," Nova said.
"Well, I wasn\'t an Angel from birth so things may be different for me," Luis said.
"Yeah, you have a point there but all Angels get their ultra aura vision before evolving into any of the two stages, I hope you get yours before evolving," Nova said.
"I hope so," Luis said. "So you\'re saying that if I had this ultra aura vision, I would have been able to see his aura when I got there."
"Yeah, no aura is hidden from an Angel\'s eyes once the Angel is using that ability," Nova said.
"If you had arrived there with me, you could have spotted him," Luis said.
"Yeah."
"You really are the key to finding this person but you\'re not going to be with me all the time and there\'s no way I can contact you like we do with the watch," Luis said.
"Actually there is a way for you to contact me," Nova said.
"Huh?"
"A very fast way for you to contact me," Nova said.
"Really? What way?" Luis inquired.
Two sergeants were approaching them now. Nova didn\'t say anything as she wanted them to pass first and as soon as they were out of sight, she stretched both of her hands toward Luis.
"Give me your hands." She said,
"Okay," Luis said, stretching his right hand toward her.
"I said your hands."
"Oh." The young Angel said, adding the other hand.
She said grabbing his hands and entangling them in hers.
"What is this for?"
Nova didn\'t reply to that question as she slowly closed her eyes.
"Bond." She muttered.
As soon as that word had left her mouth, he felt a little amount of aura leave his body from one direction as the same amount of aura entered his body from another direction.
[ Aura bond activated ]
[ Bond type: Temporary ]
[ Angels: 01 ]
"Aura bond?" Luis muttered.
"Yeah," Nova said after opening her eyes. "The Aura bond allows Angels who are not from the same family to keep track of each other."
"Yeah, I feel some sort of connection with you now," Luis said, looking at her with a baffled look on his face.
"The bond is used mostly by Angels from different factions who are planning to get married," Nova said.
"What?" Luis with an awkward expression on his face.
"We\'re not getting married Luis, this is to make sure that this person is stopped before this goes too far," Nova said, looking at him with a straight face.
"Okay, so how does it work?" Luis asked. "Like how is this going to help me contact you when you are far away from me?"
"All you have to do is say my name," Nova said, sticking her right hand into her pocket.
"Nova," Luis said.
As soon as he said her name, the Guardian Angel turned her gaze to the pocket where she had put her hand and when Luis followed her gaze, he could see a little white glow emitting from her hand.
"Will my hand glow like that if you call my name?" Luis asked.
"It won\'t glow but you will feel something." She said,
"Okay."
"I have to go now, don\'t forget, just mutter my name and I\'ll know where to find you." She said before walking away.
Luis stared at her as she walked away, he could still feel the connection even after she was out of sight, he could tell exactly where she was even if he couldn\'t see her.
\'I still have a lot of things to learn about Angels.\' He thought.
\'Yeah, you do.\'

Ace along with Tania and Chloe were walking out of the cafeteria after having their dinner together.
They seemed to be engaged in a conversation as they walked out to the road.
"Hey, Tania, are you with my watch?" Chloe asked after checking her pockets.
"No," Tania replied.
"Ace." She said turning to Ace.
"No, I\'m not with it." Ace said, raising both of his hands.
"I think I left it at our table," Chloe said quickly running back inside the cafeteria.
"We\'ll wait for you here." Ace said.
Now it was just Ace and Tania standing at the edge of the road.
There was about one minute of awkward silence between the two before Tania decided to say something.
"Umm…Ace." She called.
"Yeah," Ace answered quickly, turning his gaze to her.
"You\'ve been Luis\' roommate for quite a while now right?" She asked.
"Yeah." Ace replied.
"Okay, what has it been like being his roommate at first? Was he open with you at first?" She asked.
"Well, at first not exactly but as I got to know him, I discovered that he\'s a very fun person to be with." Ace said.
Tania gave off a warm smile after hearing him say that.
"For someone who doesn\'t have an ability and no combat training from where we came from, he adapted quite fast and I had no idea he had a soul weapon, I\'ve been trying to summon one for quite a while now but it\'s just not working," Tania said.
"Yeah, Luis is special in a very special way, he\'s a...."
Ace paused immediately as he felt a scorching heat from behind.
He quickly turned and blasted the fire stream heading toward them with his wind ability but the fire stream was already upon them as they were both blasted across the road.
The only thing the wind did was stop the fire from directly hitting them.
Ace let out a soft groan as he slowly got up from the floor before helping Tania up.
The two had a horrid look on their faces now as they looked at the student standing in the middle of the road with flames covering both of his hands.
"Who\'s that?" Tania asked with a trembling voice.
"I don\'t know." Ace said as the wind slowly began to revolve around his body.
He was ready to battle whoever this was but before he could even do anything, the two of them had gotten pulled down by something as a fierce stream of fire was sent toward them.
"No!" Ace screamed.
He wasn\'t in a proper position to counter the fire stream but before it could get to them, an earth wall had risen in front of them to block the fire. Luis quickly slid in from behind the earth wall, placed his hand on the two and they immediately got covered by white light.
The student with the fire ability blasted the earth wall open with another fire stream only to find out that his targets were gone.
"Damn it!" He yelled as he blasted the spot with a fireball.
