Walking into the library the first person the Angel saw was Emilia because she was vividly smiling while standing in front of him.
"Hi Emilia," Luis said with an awkward tone.
It was strange to see Emilia standing at the door smiling, she was supposed to be at her reception counter where she attended to people but there was an explanation for that as they were only two men in the library, still, who would stand on the door like that unless she had seen him coming.
"Oh, greeny thank goodness you're here." She said quickly, clutching onto his arms.
"Anything wrong?" Luis asked.
"No, nothing's wrong." She said, pulling him closer to her counter. "You're just going to return a favor, that's it."
"What favor?" Luis asked, sounding confused.
"The time you had to finish up something with your roommates and ran off." She said, pulling his arms.
That was enough to ring the bell in Luis' mind, he had totally forgotten about that but that wasn't the problem here, the problem was what she was going to ask him to do.
'I just hope it isn't going to be anything crazy.' Luis thought.
He was tempted to use his mind read here but later restrained himself by telling himself it was best he heard it out of her own mouth.
"Oh, so what's the favor then?" Luis asked.
"It's nothing much, I will be busy tonight so I want you to…"
"Fill in for you." Luis took the last words out of her mouth.
"Yeah," Emilia said with a nod.
"And what are you going to be busy doing?"
"Hey, you didn't tell me what you had to finish with your friends," Emilia said, pulling his hands harder.
"Awwww." Luis winced, "Ok I don't want to know anymore."
"Good boy," Emilia said, rubbing his hair. "Remember it's for the whole night."
"Whole night? You only helped me with…" Luis stopped immediately when he noticed the cold stare coming from Emilia. "Ok ok, I'll fill in for you for the whole night."
"Good boy," Emilia said with her usual smile as she rubbed his hair again.
"Can I go now?" Luis said pulling his arm but it wasn't bulging as Emilia was still holding firmly into it.
She had a strange expression on her face as her eyes caught the two tears that had been made on Luis' uniform.
"Why is your uniform torn at the back in two different places?" She asked, touching the torn parts.
"Oh, that," Luis said, using the opportunity to wriggle himself loose from her hold. "I got into a fight with one of my classmates and he decided to do that."
"A fight?" Emilia said.
"Yeah," Luis said slowly moving back towards the shelf area. "I need to make sure everything is in order on the shelves."
With that, he disappeared into the shelves without allowing Emilia to say any more words.
"That certainly doesn't look like it came from a fight," Emilia said to herself.
"That was the third trouble with a girl today," Luis muttered as he approached the secret shelf. "I just hope it's the last."
He pulled the book on top and the door opened, as usual, Michael wasn't in the monitor room as he expected so he didn't waste time going to the elevator leading down."
He exited out of the elevator to find Michael on his table with a bunch of electronic components in his front as usual.
"What took you so long?" Michael asked, still concentrating on his work.
"I had to do some personal things before coming," Luis answered.
"Personal things, I see, are you with the sword?"
"Yeah, it's right here."
He stretched his hands a little to give the sword space to appear in his hands, it was at this moment that Michael turned with a surprised look on his face.
"A real demonic sword." He said those words like he didn't believe it as he stood up from his seat and walked to the Angel.
"You know dark magic is one of the weaknesses of an Angel," Michael said as he slid his finger across the red blade.
"Yeah but I'm getting used to it now," Luis said, the sword still made him weak and less agile but it was lesser now up to the point where he could hold it and still fight properly.
"What's its skill or does it have any?" Michael asked.
Luis stepped back a little with the sword before saying. "Why don't you throw some wind at me and I'll show you."
"Ok," Michael said as he lifted his right hand like he was holding a ball.
He threw the wind at Luis who simply placed the sword in front of him to absorb the attack.
The wind hit the sword and as usual, got absorbed by the sword.
"Is that all?" Michael seemed less impressed as all he had seen Luis do was block his weak wind attack with the sword.
"You're in for a big surprise," Luis said and pointed the sword at him.
The now doubled wind attack shot out from the sword heading for Michael but the wind wasn't that big even though it was doubled and was an easy catch for Michael who didn't even look at his hands as he released it into the atmosphere.
"How could I ever forget this was the same skill you used on that demon?" Michael said, grabbing the sword by its blades. "I haven't even seen a mystic weapon with this type of skill before."
Michael took the sword from him and began to examine it, starting from the hilt down to the blades.
"Everything is pure dark magic, everything."
Luis was no longer listening as Michael kept blabbering, his attention had immediately turned to the big screen showing the library and on that big screen was Orah facing the Angel bookshelf.

Luis didn't waste time picking up the last book from the table as the last table and returning it to its shelf he then rushed to the reception counter and made sure everything was in order.
"I am never doing this again." He said as he stood at the door looking at the library. "I always thought their work was an easy one but keeping records is really tedious and a little frustrating."
He walked out of the library and locked the door. He was expected to walk directly back to his dorm room but instead, he took the left turn leading to the small forest inside the school gates.
He got into a surrounding of trees before he heard something drop from above, it had a human figure and when it stood up he could see the completely red pair of eyes that would terrify anybody at an hour like this.
