My Angel system

With Derrick out of the competition now, it was down to just three students and there was a chance that someone else could drop given the fact that Mason and Luis were yet to take their turns in the level.

The discs were being filled back into the machine as Mason slowly stepped onto the large disc now.

"Twenty seconds." The sergeant said before closing, clicking the start button.

Two discs quickly came flying toward him as soon as the twenty seconds was up and he quickly sprang up with a flip to avoid both discs.

There was no break whatsoever for him as three discs came flying toward him as soon as his legs touched the large disc.

Unlike Mirinda who had made it through by struggling and even almost falling off the disc, he didn't struggle that much and although it looked like he was going to get hit when a couple of discs came flying toward him, he still managed to hold his ground until the last disc flew past him.

The discs were carried back to the machine as Mason stepped off the disc.

He had made eye contact with Luis who was heading toward the large disc and just before the Angel broke the eye contact, he saw a wry smile appear on his face.

The Angel let out a deep sigh before stepping onto the large disc for the level which he knew wasn't going to be easy for him in any way.

"Twenty seconds." The sergeant said before clicking the start button.

"Do you think he's going to make it past this level?" Tania asked, turning her gaze to Chloe.

"Well, Ace told me he made it past levels five and six in a similar game at the arcade, if that's true then yeah he can make it past this level," Chloe said.

The first two discs shot toward the Angel were quite tricky as they seemed to be moving straight toward him at first but just before they got to him, they zig-zagged.

"What?" Luis said as he quickly lay on the floor to avoid both discs.

Nova had gotten this strange feeling that something bad was about to happen as she quickly activated her aura vision ultra instinct and began to scan the area.

Just as Luis got up from the floor after dodging those two discs she saw something heading toward him from above at full speed while another set of two discs was heading toward him.

'Luis watch out, over you!'

The Angel heard her voice in his head as he quickly jumped to the side and rolled forward to avoid both discs but just as he was about to get up, a loud bang was heard on the disc as the light on its edges began to switch between red and green.

"Huh?" The sergeant said with a confused expression on his face as he pushed a button on the machine to stop the discs from shooting in the meantime.

"What was that?" Tania asked.

She wasn't the only one asking that question as everyone else in the stadium had puzzled looks on their faces while thinking about what just happened now.

The disc wasn't the only thing that the attack hit, it had also hit the Angel who was still sitting on the disc now.

[ -30 HP ]

[ -20 Energy ]

[ Healing process has begun ]

'What the heck was that?'

"That was like some kind of invisible attack," Mike said.

"Yeah," Ella said with her gaze fixed on the spot.

"Are you okay?" The sergeant asked after getting to Luis.

"Yeah," Luis said with a groan before slowly getting up from the disc.

The lower part of his trousers looked like they had been torn by fire and that gave the sergeant the idea that whatever that attack was, it had something to do with heat.

The sergeant stared at the Angel for a while before turning away from him and pushing the button on his earpiece.

"General, it seems like this was a deliberate attack." He spoke into his earpiece.

"What do you mean by deliberate attack?" Gary asked from where he was sitting. "I didn't see anything."

"Yeah, but you heard something, we all did, I think it was from someone in the stands." The sergeant said.

The General didn't reply to him as he turned his gaze to Lieutenant Iris who was sitting behind him.

"I want you to take a few sergeants with you and check out the possible areas where that attack could have come from." He said.

"Okay, sir," Iris said before getting up from her seat.

"Have you told him yet?" Nova bent closer to Nicole's ear to whisper.

"No, not yet, I haven't gotten the time to," Nicole whispered.

"Well, now's the right time to tell him before he finds out by himself." The Guardian Angel said.

"He was already going to get disqualified, why sabotage him?" Chris said with a puzzled expression on his face.

"That was more like an assassination attempt," Mia said.

Some technicians had come to have a look at the machine and after checking its components, they confirmed to the sergeant that nothing was wrong with the machine and they could continue with it.

"Are you sure you can continue?" The sergeant asked the Angel who was sitting on the disc now.

"Yeah," Luis said with a nod.

He had already asked him the same question before the technicians came into the pitch and the Angel had given him the same answer.

"Okay, step onto the disc then." The sergeant said before walking back to the machine.

"That kid is brave to want to continue after almost getting hit by something that was able to cause that loud bang." James Tame said.

"I think it slightly hit his leg." Said Levi Breeze.

"Is he stupid or something?" Mike asked as he was quite surprised to see that Luis wanted to continue.

"I think he knows what he is doing," Ella said.

"If that attack comes again and hits him, he's dead," Chloe said.

"Uh…. I don't think so." Tania said, shaking her head.

The Angel was standing on the disc now as the sergeant was giving him a few more minutes to make sure he was properly ready.

"Are you ready?" He asked.

"Yeah," Luis replied with a nod.

"Okay." The sergeant said before clicking the start button. "You have twenty seconds."

'Mind controller or whoever you are, you just did me a favor by attacking me in the middle of a competition like this.' The Angel said subconsciously as his eyes took a little golden glow which faded away as soon as it appeared.

Through Festus' guidance, the three had been able to move around Phoenix City without falling into any kind of trouble.

Carl thought they were going to have trouble finding Jude and the elves but Festus told them that he knew where to find them but they needed to wait for them to get there first before they began to head there.

The three were now dressed like people from the modern world but Festus had made sure they were all putting on hoodies just in case they needed to get away from trouble.

The three had just entered a small bar in the city where Festus had led them because he needed to get answers about a few things that he needed answers to.

The bar wasn't that noisy given that there were a lot of people there.

"Hey, you two find somewhere and stay, I'll be back," Festus said before making his way toward the counter area.

Carl scanned the area to find an empty seat a little distance away from the rest of the people.

"Over there." He said before grabbing Diana by her arm and pulling her along with him.

The two sat there for a while as Carl kept looking toward the counter area where Festus seemed to be standing talking to someone.

He kept his gaze there for a while before turning it back to Diana who had a scrunched-up look on her face now.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm just a little tasty." She said, touching her throat.

"Oh." The young knight said before turning his gaze to the counter area where people were coming and leaving with drinks in their hands. "Let me see if I can get you something to drink."

He got up from his seat and quickly made his way to the counter.

"What can I get you?" The bartender asked as soon as he stopped in front.

"Just a glass of water," Carl said.

"Okay." The bartender said with an awkward expression on his face as he was expecting to hear something else.

"What are you doing here?" Festus turned to him to ask.

"Diana said she was tasty, so I came to get her some water." The young knight said.

"And you left her over there alone." The light wizard said.

"It hasn't even been up to a minute since I left her," Jude said.

"Yeah, but something can happen within that short period of time," Festus said.

"What could possibly….."

The young knight paused as he turned to see that a man was on his seat now

"Here's your glass of water." The bartender said, dropping the glass of water on the counter.

"Do you have a habit of snubbing people?" The man asked as he had already asked her a few questions without getting any reply from her.

"Hello," Carl said before tapping him on his back.

"Any problem?" The man said, turning his gaze to the young knight.

He didn't look like someone funny as he had his hair dyed green and had quite a large scar running down his cheek.

"Yeah, that's my seat, I'm with her," Jude said.

"Oh, so you're the one that brought the underaged girl to the bar." The man said.

"Is there anything wrong with that?" Jude asked.

"Is there anything wrong with that?" The man said with a little chuckle. "Everything is wrong with that."

"Oh, I didn't know," Jude said, walking to Diana and handing her the glass of water. "Get up." He whispered to her."

"Where do you think you're going?" The man asked.

"We're leaving," Jude said.

As soon as he said that, a blue light shot out from the man's hand, turned into some kind of energy chain, and joined his hand and Diana's together.

The young knight tried to pull both of their hands free but his effort proved to be futile.

"What's this?" He asked, turning to the man with mixed expressions of fear and annoyance written all over his face.

"You're not going anywhere." The man said, shaking his head.
