My Angel system

"So, the portal opens by eight AM every day and closes immediately after one minute," Michael said with his eyes fixed on Bryan's computer screen.

"Yeah," Layla said with a nod.

"That's some neat magical technology," Michael said.

"It's basically magic," Bryan said.

"No it's not," Michael said. "Can't you see that there's a pattern to the accuracy and everything, that's technology."

Bryan didn't reply as he continued working on his computer trying to see if he could get a clear view of the person who had entered the alley.

"So, have you found anything about the mysterious figure yet?" Layla asked.

"If I had, I would have told you," Bryan said with his gaze fixed on the monitor screen.

"Okay," Layla said slowly, turning her gaze to Michael. "I think I'll walk Michael out now."

"So when are you guys coming to the tournament?" Michael asked after he had entered the hallway with Layla.

"Tomorrow or next," Layla said.

"Okay, I'll be heading there tomorrow," Michael said.

"Yeah, you've already told me." She said.

"Oh."

The two had arrived outside and looking around now, Layla was beginning to wonder if he boarded public transport to get here after arriving at the airport, the sergeant didn't say anything about that.

"You know I can tell one of the sergeants to give you a ride to the airport with one of our special vehicles," Layla said.

"No, I won't be needing that," Michael said. "I'll get there faster with my own way."

"What way?" Layla asked.

"This way," Michael said as he brought up his watch, adjusted it to the right location, and then clicked the teleport button as he immediately got covered by white light.

Layla couldn't see anything when he got covered by the white light and when the light was gone, he was no longer there.

She was dumbfounded as she stared at the spot where Michael had been standing and then she suddenly felt her phone vibrate in her pocket.

She brought the phone and checked it to see that it was a message from Michael which read 'Already at the airport, see you at the tournament.'

She slowly slid her phone into her pocket as she returned her gaze to the spot where Michael had been standing.

"Well, I'm not surprised." She said before turning and heading back into the building.

Max had the brightest smile anyone could have on his face as he quickly made his way back to his dorm room.

Finding Luis AKA the Demon Slayer had been his main goal coming into this tournament and he was glad that he had found him just before the tournament kicked off.

'Sony isn't going to believe how easy it was for me.' He thought as he opened the door.

He was just thinking about Sony and opening the door he was shocked to see him lying on his bed.

"Did you also agree to the two additional days?" Was the first question that had come out of his mouth.

"No, she met up with some boys and had to let me go," Sony said.

"Boys?" Max said, walking to his bed. "Don't tell me about it, I don't even want to know."

"Okay," Sony said. "So, did you find him?"

"I would look depressed as fuck walking into this room if I hadn't," Max said.

"You found him," Sony said quickly, sitting up on his bed.

"Yeah," Max said with a nod. "It turns out he's just a first-year student and for some reason, he was at his teachers' apartment, female teachers."

"Okay," Sony said. "And what about his martial arts teacher, the one he said created the game?"

"He's not here yet but he will arrive somewhere during the week," Max said.

"Did you get his room number?"

"Of course I did, it's room number Seventy-two in the Crockel academy male dormitory area," Max said.

"Oh, so he was being honest about being from Crockel academy," Sony said.

"I told you he was," Max replied.

"Yeah, so when are we going to go talk to him and find out a few more things about the game, because it seems like there's a lot of things he knows that we don't given the fact that he knows the creator of the game?"

"I learned a few basic things that we should have known from him but I know that's not all that is to be known," Max said.

"So when are we going?" Sony asked.

"This evening or tomorrow, going now will make him feel like I'm disturbing him," Max said.

"Okay," Sony said. "The competition is starting tomorrow anyway so we can just meet him there."

"Yeah, that is if Jane doesn't get in our way," Max said slowly, turning his gaze to the door.

Luis had been sitting on his bed for quite a while now staring at the timer in his system screen while trying to comprehend the type of quest the system had just given him.

'I know what you're thinking Luis, but if someone wants to hurt you it's only fair that you return the favor, in this case, that someone wants to kill you.' Lena said.

'I understand what you mean Lena but I don't know if I have to kill George or the whole of his gang, I've never killed someone before.'

Talking about that even subconsciously was sending little shivers down his spine.

'It's clearly George alone, and I understand what you're trying to say and you don't have to do it if he doesn't try to attack you or you completely avoid him.'

'Crippling him or doing something still worse but not worse than killing him would have been a better quest.' Luis replied. 'And what the heck is the timer for?'

'I would be lying if I said I knew.' Lena replied.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

The Angel quickly scanned outside the door to see that the person there had no definite aura, he could feel his presence with his aura vision but he had no definite aura.

'That has to be Orah.' He thought as he slowly got up from his bed.

He walked to the door and opened it to find Orah standing there just like he had predicted.

"Hey." The Angel said.

"Hey, I have been looking for you since yesterday but every time I turned up here, you seemed to be out," Orah said.

"You've been looking for me?"

"Yeah, didn't Ace tell you?" Orah asked.

"No," Luis said, shaking his head. "Is there any problem?"

"No, there is no problem but you wanted me to teach you how to suppress your aura right."

"Oh, about that, someone's already taught me how to do it," Luis said.

"Someone?" Ace said with a confused expression on his face. "Who is that?"

It was at that point that Luis realized that he shouldn't have said anything about it as he was staring at the young Demon now without knowing exactly what to tell him.

The sun was slowly going down at Asaka as Roy could be seen sitting on his throne while thinking about what the witch who had visited him this morning had told him.

'My soul and my throne, that's like taking everything that I have.' He thought. 'She said it was only for a limited amount of time but how can know that's she even telling the truth, I can't just trust someone who doesn't even allow me to see her face.

'But then, I won't be able to see my daughters again if I don't do it, the only way I can get Melina back is by signing that transfer of authority which is very risky to do, I don't even know where my Diana is right now. How do I even know that she'll be able to get them back if I do what she asked of me?'

These were the numerous confusing thoughts that were going through his mind and they were beginning to take a toll on him.

"I need to go get some fresh air outside." He said after letting out a deep sigh but just as he got up from his throne, the windows had quickly shut by themselves blocking out every little ray of light entering the throne room.

He had paused as he was already aware of who was coming and it didn't take him long to spot her approaching him from the entrance.

"Have you made your choice?" She asked as soon as she had gotten close enough to you.

"Not until you tell me what you need my soul and throne for, I cannot give them to you," Roy said.

"I do not owe you any explanation." The witch said.

"Then I cannot give them to you because I do not know what you are going to do with them," Roy said.

The with let out a little maniacal chuckle after hearing that, a chuckle that seemed to have sent down little shock waves down Roy's spine but he was trying so hard to hold his ground and not appear afraid.

"Let me tell you something Roy, if you do not give me what I want peacefully then you will never see your daughters again." The witch said.

"What do you mean by that?" Roy asked with a devastated look on his face.

"I will make sure of that, you have twenty-four hours." The witch said before vanishing before him as the windows immediately opened by themselves.

She was gone now but Roy was still glued to the spot with his gaze still on the same spot as he had a devastated look on his face now.
