Chapter 181 Acting Strange

"So you're telling me that Luis is a Tame," Tammy said as she stared at Pearl with a blank expression on her face.

"Yeah," Pearl said with a smile.

"That can't be possible," Tammy said.

"Why? He clearly controlled two wolves and I saw it." Pearl asked.

"Because he's a…"

Tammy was about to say something but just as she turned towards Luis and saw his gritted teeth she quickly rephrased her words.

"Because he's my cousin and we, the Phillips, are in no way related to the Tames," Tammy said.

"Yeah, but haven't you heard about the baby swap drama?" Pearl said.

"Baby swap drama?"

"Yeah, that might have been what happened to Luis but as someone originally from the family he retained his link with their crystal."

"It has only been a few hours since you went out with him and you have already come up with these conclusions," Tammy said.

"There are not exactly conclusions yet but Luis and I are planning to investigate more during the tournament," Pearl said, pulling Luis closer and wrapping her arms around his neck.

"Pearl, you're twisting my neck."

"Oh sorry," Pearl said, letting go of him.

"I should probably get going now," Luis said, walking toward the door.

"Oka bye," Pearl said. "See you on Wednesday."

The girls thought Luis was going to leave through the door but he had taken out the teleporter in his pocket and had used it to teleport away.

"I just hope he doesn't teleport himself back to that place," Pearl said.

"Where did he say he got that teleporter again?" Tammy asked.

Luis had teleported just beside one of the stores that were in the same row of the warehouse but he wasn't close to the warehouse as he had appeared close to the first store you would see after coming out from the school.

"Are you guys allowed to use the school teleporters like that or are you a new student?" The man sitting in front of the shop asked as he had seen Luis appear there.

Luis didn't reply to him as he quickly turned and began to head to the school but just as he took a step forward, he felt a gush of wind on his face as something zoomed past him.

He stopped moving as he had slightly spotted something just as that wind blew across his face.

"A white aura." He muttered to himself.

He had caught a glimpse of the tiny white aura but it had been so fast that he didn't know exactly what to make it.

'I think it was just the wind.' Lena said.

'Maybe it was just the wind.' The Angel was about to continue his walk back to his dorm room when he spotted someone moving on the track and that someone happened to be Dylan.

"Dylan." He called as he quickly approached him.

Dylan, who was slightly panting while he walked, tried to stop himself from breathing out loudly so that Luis wouldn't suspect that anything was wrong.

? "Where are you coming from?" Luis asked as he looked at all the stores along the track until his gaze had stopped on the warehouse which was quite a distance away.

"I came to buy something," Dylan said, trying to act as calm as ever unaware that Luis could hear his pounding heartbeat now that he was standing close to him.

"Ok, what did you come to buy?" Luis asked as he could clearly see that he wasn't holding anything.

"A special type of chocolate bar but they didn't have it," Dylan said.

'Have you noticed, he's been acting strange since that day he got beaten up?' Lena asked.

'Yeah, really strange?' Luis replied.

"Ok, let's head back to the room then," Luis said.

Luis kept noticing more strange things as Dylan didn't appear to be as cheerful as he always was, always looking for ways to raise conversations. He seemed to be acting at edge recently.

Nothing was spoken between the two until they had gotten to their dorm room and as Luis opened the door he was met with another surprise.

"I knew I should have left that in my inventory." He grumbled as he walked to his bed and took the VR headset off Ace, he was surprised by how quickly Ace had risen after that.

"I had already exited the game." Ace said after seeing that Luis had taken the headset off him.

"Oh," Luis said, dropping the headset back on his bed.

"Where did you get that headset, it's so different from the ones we used during our training sessions in elemental class?" Ace asked.

"It's not exactly different," Luis said.

"What do you mean?"

"I think those ones were only programmed to play offline," Luis said.

"So what I just came out from now was an online version?"

"Yeah, how was it?" Luis asked.

"Terrifying." Ace said, walking back to his bed. "And I also met two people who were calling me the Demon Slayer."

"Demon Slayer, that's the name of my character," Luis said.

"Yeah, I've already figured that out." Ace said.

Luis let out a sigh as he touched the VR headset while still looking at Ace and it disappeared.

Ace wanted to ask him some questions about the game when his bed shook slightly and that was enough to turn his attention to Dylan.

"Did you buy the snacks, Dylan? The ones I said you should buy for me." Ace asked.

"No," Dylan said vehemently.

"What is wrong with you dude, you've been acting strange lately?" Ace asked.

"I'm okay, I still need some rest, the effects of that training haven't worn off yet," Dylan said, turning to face the wall.

Orah was returning from the marketplace at the other side of the school which appeared to be more lively but one of the roads leading to it was dead lonely and that was the road Orah was taking to return to the school.

He had walked a little distance down the road when he began to notice strange movements in the bush and that was when he realized that he was surrounded by two people.

One person in front of him and the other one behind him, the person in front happened to be Zach while the other one was Dan.

"You really shouldn't be walking down this road alone," Zach said as he slowly approached him but the second-year student was being a little cautious as Orah had shown no form of fearfulness after they had revealed themselves.

"I love those who take this road, they are really brave," Dan said, coming closer.

"More like stupid, if you ask me," Zach said. "But I like that because their stupidity is to our benefit."

"Really?" Orah said with a smirk that meant different things.

Both Zach and Dan felt shivers run down their spines immediately after the young demon had said that.

It didn't take long before the two second-year students were groaning on the floor as the young demon continued his walk.

"You really shouldn't look for a Demon's trouble," Orah said as he continued walking.
