Under normal circumstances, the female Angel would have smiled, relaxed for the period, and then plot a way to capture the Angel but to her, this wasn't any normal circumstances.
'An Angel also bearing the name Miles?' Nova thought. ', Two Angels never bear the same name.'
Nova may not have noticed it but she had been lost in her daze and now the students were beginning to get wrong ideas because she was looking at Luis.
'Oh common, the new teacher too.' Dylan complained in his thoughts.
"Miss Nova," Ella called to snap their new teacher out of her daze.
"Oh, you're late Mr. Miles," Nova said, her voice sounded off because the thoughts she was hearing were really embarrassing.
"Mr. Miles." Ace said.
"Yeah, like who calls him that?" Dylan replied.
"No, I'm not," Luis replied as he brought his watch into view. "Class starts exactly…. Now."
'I should have paid attention to little details like this.' Nova grumbled in her thoughts.
"Oh really." She said, folding her hands. "Take your seat then."
The class started with Nova teaching them the normal subjects they were supposed to learn, explaining the topics for the day wasn't difficult for her in any way because she already knew most of the things there.
The lunch break bell rang bringing the class to an end.
p "Ok, I think it's time for lunch, and then after you'll be heading to your various combat classes, and on that note, we will end today's lessons here," Nova said as she dropped the pencil she was holding on her table.
"Woohoo, nice teaching Miss Nova!" One of the boys in the back exclaimed with a clap, cold stares from almost everybody in the class including Nova was enough to shut him up.
"Hey Luis, are you coming?" Ella stopped in front of his desk to ask.
Ordinarily, he would say no like the other days, he hadn't gone to eat lunch with them before, his friends including Ella knew the answer would be no but today she decided to try her luck again.
Luis was keen on saying no like the other days but when he saw their new teacher sit down on her chair he changed his mind.
"Sure." He replied quickly getting up from his seat.
The strange stares Nova was giving him throughout their lesson period didn't go unnoticed by him and now he was starting to feel uncomfortable around her.
He tried to avoid eye contact with her as he walked past her table to the door leading to the school hallway.
"Miles," Nova called as she stood up from her seat.
Luis stopped moving as soon as he heard his last name.
"Yes ma'am."
"What combat class are you attending?" She asked.
"Martial arts class," Luis replied.
"Martial arts?" Nova said. "Well, that's new."
"Yes, it's new," Luis said, he assumed that was the only reason why she called him and continued his walk to the door where Ella was waiting for him.
"Wait, Miles," Nova said.
"You know referring to me with my last name sounds weird to me, I prefer Luis," Luis said.
'I thought Luis was his last name.'
"Ok, Luis carry on then," Nova said.
"But you told me to wait," Luis said.
"Never mind," Nova said and sat down on her seat.
Luis sighed as he walked to the door where Ella was already waiting for him.
"You act like you know her," Ella said immediately after he got close.
"No, I don't," Luis said, opening the door.
'But she's acting really strange.' He thought as he turned back to look at their new teacher once more.
After lunch, everyone started going to their various combat classes and the martial arts students had all grouped up to start heading to their class.
With Orah now with their group the whole martial arts students consisted of four boys and three girls.
The class B students walked into the hall to see Monica and Henry already there.
"Luis," Monica said as soon as her eyes caught the Angel.
This time there was no running or hugging, she simply walked to him and placed her hands on his shoulder.
"I heard they let you guys go, I hope you're okay?" She said,
"Yeah, I'm okay," Luis said with a nod. "And thanks for asking."
It didn't take long for Michael but this time he didn't come through his office, he just appeared in front of them.
"Good morning students." He said with a smile. "The combat class competition is next week and we are already far behind."
"That's because of all your physical training." Henry interrupted.
Michael gave him a stern look before turning away eventually.
"Buckle up everyone, you're in for serious training today," Michael said with a smirk on his face.
*****
On an island, in the Eukerion empire, a large dome-like structure the size of a small city was cited. This was the Eukarion academy where almost every child in Eukarion was forced to go because of the demon threat.
The place was divided into two parts, the first part was like a marketplace where everybody came to buy and sell, it was open to everybody and didn't have any gates. The second part being the academy was the place that made the place look more dome-like as it was fenced all around and even covered above like a stadium.
Outside the walls of the academy everywhere was noisy but inside the academy, everywhere was quiet, none of the students could be seen walking around because they were all in their various combat classes.
One of those combat classes had an inscription 'N.A.U.' which stands for Non-Ability Users.
Inside the class were students all dressed in black uniforms, the girls had pink outlines running over the edges of their uniforms while the boys had red outlines running down theirs.
There were about twenty students in the class and they were all in circle formation, creating room for the two who were fighting in the middle.
Two boys were in the middle having a go at each other, everyone was paying attention except someone.
Tania had her hands folded as she looked down at her feet.
'I've been here for almost a month now and still haven't found Luis.' She thought. 'I've checked everywhere and asked people but there is no record of him anywhere.'
There was a round of cheer among the students as one of the boys had knocked the other out.
"Ok, that was impressive Todd." A middle-aged woman stepped into the center while lightly clapping.
"Thank you, Madam Nelly," Todd said and did a slight bow.
"Ok, the last spar for today will be between Natasha Rowland and Tania Blackstone."
Tania heaved a sigh on hearing her name, she had been training in this class for weeks but she still doubted she could beat Natasha.
Natasha was the most arrogant girl in the class, she had short red hair and eyes that could cast terror into the hearts of many.
"Ready for another round of beating Tania." She said with a mocking tone as she jumped up and down.
Tania didn't reply as she slowly stepped into the area and slowly stroked her fighting pose.
