Chapter 41 - Learning About Angels

Walking into the class Luis tried his best not to make eye contact with anybody.

"Who's the cute boy?"Ciara asked her friend after Luis walked past them.

"Isn't he that new boy?" Her friend replied.

"C'mon be specific, we have lots of new boys."

"The one that got zero potential in the potential test." She leaned closer to Ciara to say that.

Lily seemed to recognize Luis from that day while Ciara didn't.

"That's him?" Ciara said looking back at Luis who was taking his seat now, she sounded disappointed wondering how such a good-looking boy had no potential.

While walking to his seat Luis realized that many eyes were on him and most of them were from the females.

Ella was sitting a couple of seats ahead of Luis so she turned to give him a friendly wave which he returned.

Ella was smiling while waving at Luis but her face immediately turned sour after noticing how the girls were looking at him.

'Why are they looking at him like that?'

'What is even wrong with all these girls today?' Luis thought.

'Whatever that's drawing their attention towards me I want it to stop!'

[ Attraction has been lowered to 10% ]

The girls started to turn their gaze away from Luis and the cheeks of those Luis had made eye contact with had turned red.

'Why was I looking at him like that?' Most of the girls who had been caught Luis' attraction thought, some of them even biting their lips.

The stares from the girls didn't go unnoticed by the boys who were all giving Luis hard glares.

"Since that boy entered the girls have been paying attention to him." The boy who was sitting beside Dylan at the back said.

"Which boy?" Dylan asked, raising his head from his desk. He hadn't been paying attention to what was happening in the class, but checking on one seat he knew it was Luis.

Luis had received the message that had confirmed where his trouble was coming from.

There was a red bar displaying on his system which had gone from an initial 50% to 10% now.

'It wasn't even at 100% and it was able to do this.' Luis thought wondering what might happen if his attraction was to be set at 100%.

Thinking about it, it wasn't something he wanted to find the answer to at least not in a class full of girls.

The class wasn't noisy but all the little chats stopped immediately Miss Nicole walked into the class as it was now time for the boys to ogle.

Miss Nicole started the lesson for the day, something in her voice made everyone want to stay quiet and listen as she taught.

At the end of the day's lesson, Miss Nicole had one more thing to tell them.

"Your training and other stuff will start next week, so I urge you all to work hard for the human race." Although her words sounded serious, she said them with a smile before leaving the class.

The rest of the remaining week played out without Luis running into any other trouble.

The most surprising thing that had happened to him was when Tammy came to their dorm room to check up on him.

He thought that once they were in school that Tammy would stop associating with him, which he was partially correct about because she only came to check if he was okay after being beaten by George.

Ella had also shown up once to see if he was okay, he was alone in the room that day and after talking about their new school for a while she eventually left.

The students were free to do as they wished on weekends, so Luis woke up on a Saturday morning wondering what he was going to do today.

After brushing his teeth and freshening up he went and laid down on his bed.

He had come across a book which had been left on the table, the book had immediately caught his attention because it had the title 'The power of an Angel'

The book was talking about Zillah, the only Angel they had seen on earth before as they thought.

Zillah had displayed all types of abilities while fighting the demons. Fire, earth, water, wind, he could use lots of abilities.

'I have access to three abilities, I have unlocked two but one is still locked.' Luis thought about trying to make the comparison.

'The system did say I was no longer human, but how different is a Demi-Angel from an Angel?'

Luis was still wondering how the system had changed his race from human to Demi-Angel but even the system hadn't answered his question so who could?

"Is that my book?" Dylan asked.

He had been lost in the book that he had failed to notice Dylan walk into the room from the bathroom with a towel around his waist.

"Yeah," Luis said, turning the cover page.

"When did you become interested in Angels?"

"Let's say…. When I saw the book now."

Dylan chuckled at Luis' words as he started to get dressed beside Ace's bed since he's was up.

"You know Zillah was very powerful and had single-handedly taken care of the demons."

"Yeah, the book told me," Luis said, raising the book, but apart from the book another person had told him beforehand.

"What I'm saying is that if he was still here this war would have long ended."

Luis wasn't so sure of that because he could have done that the time he came but Lucifer had managed to slip away.

"Wasn't that why he gave them those stones?" Luis questioned.

"Yeah but I doubt we will be able to stop Lucifer with the way we are now."

"If they work together they can."

"Yeah and that's the problem."

"What?"

Dylan wanted to say something as his breathing was increasing but after a little pause, he calmed his breath and smiled.

"Today is supposed to be a free day for relaxation, no need to go into stressing matters."

"Ok," Luis said, turning back to his book and noting how Dylan had almost riled up when he talked about the whole human race working together to win the war with the demons.

"Aren't you going to do anything today?"

"I'm already doing something," Luis replied, pointing at the book he was reading.

"I mean something fun."

At the moment Luis received a message from Ella on his watch.

'Hey Luis I'm kinda bored here and was wondering if you would like to go on a walk around the school with me.' the message read.

Dylan noticed that Luis was silent as he stared at his watch.

"I'll go do something fun now," Luis said, getting up from his bed.

"Like what?"

"A walk,"Luis replied scratching his head wondering how walking around could be fun, he hadn't really gotten used to some things in this strange world.

"Alone?"

"No, me and someone," Luis said, closing the door before Dylan could say anything.

'I'm guessing it's that little girlfriend of his.' Dylan thought.

Now he had to think of something to do and seeing Ace walk out of the bathroom he came up with something.

Luis was surprised to see Ella approaching their dorm room when he came outside, he thought he would have to go to her dorm room but turns out she had already dressed up before asking.

When she had sent her message Luis had read it a few times before he understood that she meant to just go look at some new things and not just pointlessly walking around.

Looking at Ella Luis was somewhat embarrassed that he was still in his black uniform.

Since it was the weekend Ella had decided to dress as pretty as she could.

She wore a black gown and had topped it off with a nice white jacket and on her head was a beach hat, some would consider her style of dressing as odd but she still looked pretty on those.

Luis had exchanged a few greetings and they began their walk.

They were still walking in the school and Ella was planning for them to walk outside when they came across the school library which was placed near the north exit gate.

"Is that the school library?" Luis asked, pointing at the medium-sized building.

"Yes it is, now come on we don't want to be late for lunch." Ella tried to pull Luis along but she couldn't move him as he kept looking at the building.

"I want to check something there."

"Sure it's okay." Ella cursed herself inwardly for saying that.

The nice walk she had planned out was going to be a browse in the library instead.

Luis didn't waste time rushing into the library and Ella followed behind.

Luis got to work immediately searching certain bookshelves.

"What exactly are you looking for?" Ella asked as Luis kept going through some books on a shelf.

"I'll show you if I find it," Luis said, trying not to lose concentration from what he was doing.

"You know you could just search for the book with those computers over there," Ella said pointing at the computers which were by the side with some of them occupied by people.

"I'm almost close," Luis replied.

The problem wasn't that he was too stubborn or keen to find it himself, no it was because he couldn't use a computer and to him, this was the fastest way.

Ella sighed, grabbed a romantic novel, and went to read it on a seat as Luis wandered off looking for something.

Now he had his eyes on a small bookshelf with a smile on his face.

The reason for his smile was the tag on the shelf which read 'All about Angels'
