Chapter 49 - Unlocking The Water Ability

Luis had gotten up earlier than Dylan and Ace because he had things that he needed to do today being the last day of the weekend.

He was greeted as usual by his system.

[ Daily task completed ]

[ 10 EXP granted ]

[ 20/30 HP ]

This was something Luis had been worried about, for some reason the HP which he lost for giving the long-term command wasn't coming back.

He tried to get an explanation from his system but the thing remained silent, he shrugged it off and went to clean himself up, it's not like he was going to be in any life or death situation anytime soon.

'I just feel like we are not safe here.' Luis said in his thoughts.

When Luis exited from the bathroom he found Dylan and Ace awake but it didn't look like they were going to get up.

"Good morning," Luis said as he began to dress up.

"Where are you going?" Dylan finally asked the question that had been on his mind, he had always been a very curious person.

"I just want to head to the library and read some books,"

Luis stated which was just part of the truth.

"Are you going with anybody?" He said trying to get up."Awwww!" He shrieked in pain.

"I don't think you are in a condition to follow me just rest till you recover," Luis said already aware of what he wanted to do.

Luis made eye contact with Ace who hadn't said anything to him before shutting the door.

Getting out of the room Luis had one destination in mind and that was the third year's female dormitory.

Luis didn't exactly know Tammy's room number which meant that he had to ask some of the girls who were hanging around outside.

"I think it's room number 14." A girl answered him pointing towards the room.

He was lucky to have asked a nice girl first.

"What did he want?"

"Nothing, he was just looking for Tammy Phillips' room."

"Why would a boy be looking for Tammy this early and a junior for that matter?"

Luis soon found the room with the number fourteen pasted on the door and gave it a knock, nobody replied at first which prompted him to knock again.

"Who's there?" Pearl yanked the door open and was surprised to see that it wasn't one of the girls that usually disturbed them, rather it was Tammy's supposed to be cousin.

"Tammy you have a visitor!" Pearl yelled into the room.

'No, I'm here for you.' Luis wanted to say, but saying that would complicate things for him, besides what reason did he have to come see Pearl.

"I hope you are not here to ask me for money." Was the first thing Tammy said once she showed up and saw Luis.

"Heck no, I just came to see you," Luis said.

"Ok, but you have to hurry up with whatever you want to do here because we will be leaving soon."

"Don't mind her just come inside," Pearl said with a smile.

Luis was astonished because of what he was seeing here, while his room looked like just any normal room, the one he was looking at now was far from that.

There were no bonks just like the other rooms, just a large mattress which they both slept on. It was dressed with a golden bedsheet.

There was a pink curtain covering the only window they had and with the sun shining through the curtain it gave the room a wonderful feeling.

They even had a small table with two chairs by the side which Luis assumed to serve as the dining table.

"You guys have a nice place here," Luis commented.

"Yeah , Tammy's really good with decorating." Pearl whispered to Luis." Have a seat." she said, pulling out a chair for Luis.

"Thank you, '' Luis said as he sat down.

'She's really nice.' Luis thought looking at Pearl who was now sitting on the bed.

Tammy had gone into the bathroom leaving them alone.

"It's Luis right?"

'Does she always smile at people like this?'

"Yes." Luis said wondering what would happen if he raises his attraction to 100%."

"Tell me, how did you get to start leaving with the Phillips, I know Tammy's your cousin but you have parents right?"

'If only she knew.'

Luis had to come up with a story of his parents dying in a fatal car accident which led him to start living with the Phillips, he also told her how Tammy had been the one training him.

"So you always spar with Tammy."

"Yes."

"How many times have you won?"

"Just once," Luis said counting the time Tammy cheated.

"Can you spar with me?" Pearl asked."I know you didn't come here for that but it won't belong."

Luis never really expected things to play out this way, he thought he would be the one to plead for the spar with her but the opposite was the case now.

"Ok, but I'm not sure I will be allowed into the third-year training room," Luis said.

"Don't worry I know an even better place," Pearl said.

She got up and left through the door while Luis followed her.

They soon got to an area which was covered by trees but it wasn't as big as the woods.

"Nic," Luis said, looking around.

"I know." Pearl said."Let's get things started before Tammy discovers our absence." She said folding both of her hands imitating the moves of a boxer.

"Ok," Luis said, taking a fighting stance.

He had only one goal here which was unlocking his water ability, defeating Pearl was secondary.

He was the first to charge in with a punch that Pearl avoided easily, he knew what was about to come and jumped back before Pearl could counter his attack.

"Aren't you supposed to be using your ability?"

"What about you?"

"I don't have one," Luis replied.

"If that's the case then using mine won't make the fight fair."

"Just do it."

"Ok, but you'll have to put up a good fight to get me to use it."

With that said Luis charged in again but this time he wasn't holding back as much as he did last time.

'Did he just get faster?.' Pearl thought as she was only able to avoid the punch by an inch.

Another punch came flying her way which she managed to parry away from her body.

"I can say you are strong physically but you lack a little bit of experience," Pearl said as she caught Luis' arm in time and delivered a punch to his chest which sent him some feet backwards.

"Put up a good fight you say," Luis muttered with a smirk on his face.

The next thing that happened surprised Pearl as Luis was in front of her and with the momentum from his speed he delivered a punch right on Pearl's chest which sent her flying and hitting her back on a tree.

"Oh no! I didn't mean to use that much force." Luis said regretting why he had gone all out.

As he was about to go check on Pearl who was now covered by leaves, a large stream of water came shooting his way, he was quick enough to make a shield out of earth but that wasn't enough as it was soon destroyed by the water which continued pushing him until he fell on the floor.
