Chapter 19 - A Threat

"Have you ever heard of someone being unable to grow?"

"I still can't understand why his parents decided to send him here."

"Maybe they didn't know."

Luis could hear the chattering in the class and most of the things that were being said about him, but that was the last thing in his mind now.

'How come I keep getting this crazy feeling whenever he's around me? And this thing in my head seems to react to him in some way that I don't think is good.

It was clear that Luis was being disturbed by his thoughts, but there was also something else that happened after the strange vice principal had walked past them and it was something he was still trying to figure out.

[ New skill unlocked ]

[ Aura vision ]

The message had pulled all of Luis' attention to what was on his screen and he had one question in his mind.

'I have no special ability, yet I have a skill.'

Luis attempted to see what the skill was and that was when everywhere suddenly started getting dark and the only thing he could see was a human figure standing next to him covered in yellow flames.

[ Yellow Aura ]

[ Human ]

[ ???? ]

...….

Seems like there was more information but Luis couldn't see them because they all appeared in question marks.

Luis looked at his hand which was burning with the same yellow flame, he then turned his gaze back to Ella, he wanted to see if he could make out any of her facial appearances but he couldn't, they were all covered with the flame.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"Ella asked, she was starting to feel uncomfortable with the way Luis had been looking at her for over a minute now."Are you okay?"

Luis hearing her voice quickly deactivated the skill.

"Sorry, I was a bit lost in my thoughts there."

"Were you thinking of how you get a feeling of danger around him?"

"Yes." He lied, but he was still going to think the same thing if the system hadn't interrupted him."Don't you get the same feeling?"

Ella shook her head.

She was possibly wondering why Luis was getting these feelings.

'Maybe it's just the pressure he gets around older people.' Ella thought.

"We should probably hurry to class before we miss anything," Ella said, ready to increase her pace, but Luis carried on walking at the same speed.

"I know you think is of no use to you, but you don't only learn how to fight to learn here," Ella said pulling him along.

****************

Raph walked into his office and slammed the door shut, showing his frustration.

"Who is that boy?" He said biting his lips.

Getting his temper under control, Raph walked to his seat which had a table in front with a computer system on top.

'Maybe I can just check infos about his family and see if there's any link up to a special ability or something.' Raph thought as he stretched his hand and started typing away.

"What!?"

"He's not even registered," Raph said with disbelief, then a creepy smile followed on his face.

*****************

In the level, one class Jim was about to round up things with his class when the door opened.

"I'm looking for a certain student." Raph declared before Jim could even say anything.

Luis gulped, something kept telling him that he was the one he was looking for, the feeling of danger had already returned and his system was already reacting.

A shiver was sent down his spine when Raph's hand pointed towards him.

"Me?" Luis asked trying not to show his fear.

"Yes follow me to my office," Raph said and was about to leave when Jim asked him a question.

"I hope all is well Mr. Raph?"

"Yes, I just wanted to do some little sorting with him," Raph said and walked out of the class while Luis followed him.

"Did he do something?"

"Or the want to tell him to leave."

"I hope it's neither."

The two boys who were conversing turned their gaze to the back of their seat to see who had interrupted their talk.

"Is he your boyfriend or something?"

Many girls would have blushed, when asked this type of question or have their cheeks turn red, but Ella just stared back at them, totally unfazed.

"No, we are just friends." She said with a meek smile.

The two boys looked at each other with one thought in their minds.

'What a beauty.'

Luis had gotten to the vice principal's office and was being offered a seat now, he was being very cautious now because of something that had happened, while he was following Raph to his office.

Luis followed Raph through the hallway and the more he got close to him the more his body was telling him to run.

He tried to calm himself down and closed his eyes while breathing slowly but unknown to him he had activated his aura vision, with his eyes closed, he was now seeing Raph's human figure walking ahead of him but the aura burning all over him was like a read thick flame, that wasn't all the last part was what shocked him.

[ Red burning aura ]

[ Demon ]

...…

Luis immediately stopped walking, his hunch had been right this whole time, his body, the system they had been warning him because he was in danger.

"What are you doing standing there!?" Raph yelled and Luis was immediately snapped out of his daze.

'Should I run?' Luis thought.

'No, I should follow him and see what he is up to.'

Luis decided to follow him even though he was terrified.

"Are you not going to sit?" Raph asked after noticing that Luis was still standing after he offered him a seat.

"Oh." Luis snapped out of his daze and took the seat.

Raph smiled and took his seat.

"Why don't we start with your name."

"My na….me?" Luis stuttered.

"Yes. What's your name?"

"Luis…..Luis Miles sir."

Raph was silent for a while as he observed Luis' face, he could tell the boy was terrified, which brought a smile to his face.

'How can someone like this be a threat to us?'

"What about your parents?" He asked trying to get useful information out of the boy.

"I'm an orphan."

"An orphan?" Raph couldn't believe his ears.

"Yes sir."

"Then how are you here?"

"I'm staying with the Philips."

Raph's facial expression changed at the mention of that name, his face which had been always straight now had a frown.

"You know you have a gift."

"A gift?" Luis asked, surprised, what type of gift was this demon talking about.

"Oh stop pretending! I know you know what I am." Raph hit both of his hands on the table."You are like a demon, I know you have the powers, but I don't know what you are."

Luis was shaking now as he pushed his seat backward.

"You have the powers, but do you know how to use them." Raph smiled as his eyes turned completely red.

Luis tried to make the run for it but found his body stuck to his seat by an invisible force.

"Why are you doing this?" Luis tried to reason with him.

Raph let out a burst of loud evil laughter.

"Because you are a threat." He raised his hand which was now covered in a black glowing substance, Luis closed his eyes, ready to accept his fate, but then he heard a clanging sound of two metals hitting together.

Luis opened his eyes to see a sword above his face.

"Greg!"
