Never in his life did he think that the system would provide him with four high-quality elemental abilities and ask him to choose only one, now he was in a dilemma of which one to choose.
If the system had just unlocked the wind ability that would have made things easier providing that he didn't see the other abilities but with the variety of abilities he had to choose from now, making a choice was going to be really tough.
He had only desired the wind ability after seeing the things Michael could do with it, it was just after watching the video that he realized how strong the wind ability could be but there were other abilities stronger than the wind ability based on attack.
The lightning ability was arguably the best ability known to mankind, although Luis had never seen someone use it before he had a rough idea of how powerful it could be based on the thunderstorms he had witnessed before.
The ice ability was quite a strong one, you could make anything with it and it was very useful for restraining people but there was one problem with the ice ability and that was its weakness over fire. A fight between a fire user and an ice user would most likely see the fire user winning unless the ice user was more skilled and experienced.
Then there was the last but not the least ability, the metal ability was a very handy ability, especially for defense, Luis found that out through the many things he had seen Monica do with it.
Even after his evaluations he still couldn't make a choice.
'I'm leaning towards unlocking between the lightning but what if I'm making the wrong choice? The system had made these skills available because I wished that I had the wind ability.' Luis thought.
The words which the woman in his dream had told were still in his mind, the truth was that he was afraid of making the wrong choice, he didn't want his path to be as dark and frustrating as the woman had said.
Luis decided to leave the decision-making, for now, it's not like he needed a fourth ability in his present situation, when the time comes he would make the right choice.
He tried out the moves Michael had shown in the video, but none of it made sense without having wind ability.
'At least I know how to do it.' He thought and then bent to pick another disc. This time he picked one which had 'Ancient martial arts.' written on it as the title.
'That sounds interesting.' Luis thought as he clicked yes to play the video in his system.

Their martial arts class for today was canceled because Michael said he had some things to sort out. Silvia had gone to the girls' training room for her daily training while Ella had gone back to their dorm room.
'Why is Luis always getting into trouble?' Ella thought as she entered the room.
'I wouldn't worry about him too much.' Jasmine said.
'And why is that?'
'Because he can take care of himself, things like this won't bother him much because he knows he can get out of there at any time unless…:
'Unless what?'
Before Jasmine could reply to that Ella heard something shake in her wardrobe.
"What was that?"
'How am I supposed to know?' Jasmine said.
'Can't you use your vision or whatever you call it as you did in the forest?'
'I'm sorry but that only works in areas where there are trees.'
'So you don't know what just made that noise in my wardrobe.' Ella said.
'Nope, you'll have to find that out on your own.'
"So much for being special." She grumbled as she stepped closer to her wardrobe.
'Be careful Ella, I can't tell what is there but I am feeling a strange energy coming from them.'
Ella ignored her as she slowly opened the wardrobe, she didn't see anything.
"There's nothing here," Ella said with a relieved voice.
'No, there is.' Immediately Jasmine said that something jumped out from the wardrobe hitting her on her face and causing her to crash on her bed.
When she opened her eyes she couldn't believe what she was seeing as a tongue licked her face.
"Ajax." She said and lifted the wolf cub off her body. "How the hell did you get here?"
'I knew it, I could feel a strong energy coming from there.' Jasmine said.
Ella stroked the wolf's head as he responded with soft moans.
"Did you really miss me this much to follow me?"
Her little session with her wolf was interrupted by a knock on the door, she quickly dropped the wolf on her bed and said. "Ajax under the bed."
The wolf understood her quite clearly and immediately went under the bed. Ella fixed her hair and straightened her clothes before going to answer the door. She knew it wasn't Silvia since the person was knocking.
When she opened the door she was surprised by who was standing at the door.
'What is he doing here?"
"Hey, you are Ella right?" Orah asked.

Back at the elf kingdom, Jude had been brought up to the stands where the king stayed but this time he had been brought by Tuchel alone.
"I can say you are quite a skilled fighter to be a human." The king said as Tuchel walked away.
"What? You think elves are the most skilled fighters."
"I don't think, I know." The king said and struck his staff on the ground and in that instant, the young knight's sword appeared in his hand.
"You may be skilled but let's see how well you do against a level two-hybrid." The king said, striking his staff on the ground again.
Jude covered his eyes because of the bright light and when he opened them he found himself in the arena again, the stands were all filled up with noise coming from all directions.
Jude took a deep breath as he got ready for whatever was going to get unleashed on him today.
The metal door in the middle was let loose and fell on the floor as growls could be heard coming from the inside and now stepping into the arena was a double-headed fox with a large bee wing on its back.
Immediately the beast got outside it unwrapped its wings and with a buzzing sound flew up and tried to attack one of the people in the stands but it was met with an invisible barrier that sent it crashing back on the arena floor.
"An Areal beast." Tauriel gasped from where she was seated.
Having witnessed what the beast had attempted to do Jude knew this was going to be a very tough fight as the beast got up and turned to him with a very loud growl.
