The training for the martial arts students was concluded just a few minutes before two. The students were glad that it was all over as they all sluggishly walked back to their dormitory.
Today Michael had shown them martial arts skills that were really stressful to practice and Luis could swear that part of the training was more stressful than the first one.
Although the training was stressful it still wasn't enough to zap him out or weaken him that much, he still had enough energy to do a lot.
[ 60/100 Energy ]
He was walking slowly just so he wouldn't be the odd one and Orah was also doing the same.
The students began to part ways as they approached their various dormitories until it was finally Luis and Dylan who were approaching their dorm room.
Dylan didn't have the strength to say anything or say how the training zapped him out as his main concern was getting to his bed and crashing on it.
He opened the door to see Ace on his bed reading a book as usual.
"Oh, you're back already." Ace said.
"Yeah, don't ask me how it went," Dylan said with a tired voice as he walked to his bed.
"Ok, but where's Luis?" Ace asked.
"He's right there…" Dylan was about to climb his bed when he turned towards the door to see that Luis wasn't there.
Luis had left Dylan just immediately after they had entered the dormitory area and his destination was the third-year A girls' dormitory.
He still had unfinished business with Pearl and now was the best time for it.
He walked into the area ignoring all the stares he was getting from the girls in the area.
He knocked on the door and was shocked by Pearl as she had quickly pulled the door open before he could even knock the third time.
"Took you long enough." She said pulling closer to Luis.
"What about Tammy?" The Angel asked, shifting back a little.
"She went to buy something at a store," Pearl said
Now the stares coming from the girls outside were becoming more intense as Luis began to pick up some words from their murmurs.
"What is Pearl doing with a low-level boy like him?"
"Maybe she's going on a date with him."
"A date with a first-year student?" One of the girls said with a chuckle.
"You can't be sure he's a first-year student."
"Let's go," Pearl said, grabbing onto Luis' arm.
Seeing both of them walk out holding hands was sure going to stir up more reactions from the girls outside and that was the reason Luis had pulled her back.
"What?" Pearl asked.
"Won't those girls follow us?" Luis asked.
"They won't and even if they do there's nothing wrong with it," Pearl said.
"No, I don't want them to follow us," Luis said.
"Why? I don't see any…."
Before she could finish her statement Luis had grabbed her by her arm and pulled her into the room.
The girls who had been watching them had their mouths wide open after witnessing the final scene that just played out in front of them.
"Why did you do that?" Pearl asked, breaking free from his grip.
"Given that we are going somewhere close by, they will follow us," Luis said.
"I don't see anything wrong with them following us," Pearl said.
"Yeah because you don't know what they are saying behind your back," Luis said, bringing out the small teleporter ball from his pocket.
"Behind my back," Pearl said. "What is that?" She asked as her attention shifted to the metallic ball.
"A way out of here," Luis said as he pushed a button on the teleporter. "Hold my hands."
"Why do I need to hold your hand?" Pearl asked.
"Why don't you hold them and find out?"
Pearl stared at him for a while as if she was trying to make a decision before grabbing his hands.
"Ok, just know that this may take us to a random location," Luis said and pushed the button.
"Random lo..." Her voice faded as they got covered by the white light associated with the teleporter.
This time the teleporter had done its worst as it had brought them to the open dry land which was quite a walk from the school of the residential parts of the mountain to be precise.
"What the heck?" Pearl said, looking around. "What type of teleporter is that?"
"I was really lucky to teleport to my dorm room the first time I used that," Luis muttered to himself.
This teleporter was different from the one he had used to teleport Fred and Johnny to Michael's lab, that one had locations that were quite clear, but the location options in this one were quite strange to him.
"A very portable one," Luis replied.
"I know it's portable, I'm just wondering how you got it because I haven't seen anything like it before."
"Shouldn't you be wondering where we are instead?" Luis asked.
"No, that's not a problem, I can see that tall building from here with which we can find our way back to the school."
"Oh yeah," Luis said, looking up at the building.
"So tell me, how did you get teleporters like that?" Pearl asked.
"I borrowed them from someone."
"Who?" Pearl asked.
"My combat class instructor, you wouldn't know him," Luis said.
"Combat class," Pearl said. "Which combat class are you in?"
"Martial arts," Luis replied.
"You guys have martial arts class?"
"Yes, you don't know?"
"No." Pearl with a wave of her head. "You guys are quite lucky to have a class like that. All we have here at our own side is just a physical combat class where the students are just taught how to kick and punch properly."
"So should we start heading back now?" Luis asked, looking back at the forest.
"No, we can have the sparring match here and return to the school after that," Pearl said.
"That sounds nice, this place is a really nice place to train," Luis said walking towards the valley created by the large hills.
He got into a fighting posture and so did Pearl but before they could do anything Pearl noticed something behind Luis and released a quick water slash in that direction.
Loud moans could be heard as the wolf jumped out from the shadow. Luis turned to the wolf with a surprised expression and then turned to Pearl who still had her hands stretched out after sending out that water slash.
"It's not the only one." She said and got ready to release another water slash but Luis wasn't going to let her do that.
"Stop!" Luis yelled before she could release the slash and just like he commanded the water in her hands splashed on the floor out of her will.
"What the heck?" Pearl said looking at her hands which appeared to be twitching like something was stopping them from moving.
Luis rushed to the wolf which was now lying on its belly and just as he got there the other wolf hiding in the valley walked out and quickly walked to Luis' side.
Luis examined the wolf to see that the water slash had created quite a deep injury on its back and blood was slowly seeping out from it.
'Her water ability is really strong.' Luis thought, placing his hands on the wound.
"Luis!" Pearl called in an almost screaming voice.
Luis turned to her to see that her hands were still in the same position which meant that she was still trying to resist whatever was holding her and use her water ability.
"What did you do to me?" She asked as her hands kept twitching.
