My Angelic System

"What's happ-ening?" Kye managed to say, amidst a lot of difficulties.

Hearing that, Aria immediately went in front of Kye to cover him from the immense pressure that was coming toward them. And thankfully for him, he managed to recover his breath, though, just a little bit. But it was enough for him to at least recover the colors of his face.

Suddenly, the water around them began to increase in heat. It wasn't noticeable at the beginning, but as time passes, it became more and more apparent. And while it wasn't affecting Aria, it was another story for Kye.

The latter sure had suffered way more during his transformation from human to half-angel, or even during his wings growth. But now it was as if someone was torturing him. The hot water couldn't touch him thanks to his improved suit that covered his whole body, but it didn't change the fact that he could still feel it. It was as if he was in a burning sauna. It was annoying and slowly began to weaken him.

A little bit of heat was good. But too much wasn't. And he was experiencing the effects of it now. It was as if he was about to pass out. If not for Aria's timely water sphere, he would have without a doubt blacked out.

"What are you doing here, Ras?" Aria clicked her tongue as she spread her voice through the water so that Ras could hear her annoyance.

The latter flew faster toward her hearing that. "I thought you were in danger. Where's your enemy?" He looked around, only to see no one.

Kye, seeing him was so shocked that he once again couldn't breathe. But this time, it wasn't because he had forgotten, but exactly like earlier with Aria's real form. The pressure and the majesticity that was emanating from this Pheonix was way too grand, thus making it difficult for him to breathe.

"What are you talking about? An enemy? In my territory?"

"Wasn't it for that reason that you leave the meeting in a hurry?" He still kept his Pheonix form while talking. Making Aria click her tongue.

"Take your humanoid form already!"

"Huh? Why? What if the enemy appears suddenly?"

"Ras!" Aria only said his name, but Ras felt a shiver down his spine. The veins bulging on her forehead clearly showed that she was getting angry. So after gulping down, Ras took his human form, finally seeing a big sphere of water behind Aria.

Kye feeling that he could breathe normally again looked up, only to see a handsome man. While he was handsome as well, this man in front of him looked otherwordly.

"Who is he?" Ras asked, his interest having been drawn toward what looked like an angel but not so much at the same time.

"The one that I took interest in, and the one you almost kill by your presence."

"What? I didn't do anything," Ras felt hurt hearing that. Though, his face was saying otherwise. He was glad that he managed to meet the one that picked Aria's interest this soon.

"Didn't I tell you that he couldn't bear our real form yet?"

"Did you?" Aria was seriously about to attack him. "I'm kidding I'm kidding," He quickly said to not get hurt by Aria. "Anyways. May I know your name, little … angel?"

Kye was reluctant at first. It was clear that this man was as strong as Aria, and to add insult to injury, he had almost killed him with his presence alone. However, Aria seemed to know him well, and from what he was saying, he didn't look like someone that would make him his enemy. On the contrary, he looked like he was acting friendly.

So Kye stepped out of the sphere, feeling once again a grand pressure upon him. Aria looked at Ras with a menacing glare, but this time, the latter didn't budge, making Aria understand that he wanted to test Kye.

And it made Aria smile because Ras would be here for a surprise. "I'm Kye Vermillion. I'm not an angel yet. But I'm sure it's just a matter of minutes before I become one for real."

Ras didn't have the time to be a little taken aback by how confident he was and how he looked like the pressure upon him didn't affect him at all that Aria spoke in his stead.

"What do you mean by a matter of minute?"

"Well, I guess it's like a gut feeling?" Kye lied through his teeth since he couldn't tell about his system. "I can feel like I will become an angel very soon."

Aria didn't wait a minute to make them all head directly to her domain. T didn't take very long since Aria and Ras were both extremely fast. Aria also made a house like last time so that they could talk with more ease. Once there, Ras asked a question.

"Kye, are you sure that you will become an angel?" He didn't speak with formalities, not that he was the type to talk like that in the first place.

"Yes, why do you ask?"

"It's because usually, normal angels are considered true angels only when they begin their duty as an angel. And it usually takes decades if not centuries to become a true angel. Whereas as far as I know, it hadn't been long since you've changed and become a half-angel. So it just seems strange to me that you can become an angel in such a short amount of time."

Aria also thought the same as Ras. She didn't underestimate his talent, but even then, it was hard to believe that such a thing could happen. Never just a fast person born, but it seems that everything has a beginning sooner or later, at least from what Kye had said.

"Well... to be honest, I don't know what is the duty that you are talking about, but I'm sure that I will become a real angel soon."

"Then if you're so sure," Aria said as she waved her hand. "I didn't manage to help you last time because your energy was completely blocking my interference, but maybe if we're anticipating things a little, you won't feel as much pain as last time."

"Didn't the process to become an angel very fast and painless?" Ras asked as he raised an eyebrow.

"In theory, yes," Aria said as tendrils or waters slowly began to move around Kye. "But Kye isn't your normal being. So it's better to be safe than sorry."

And just as she said that Kye received his system's notification.
