Chapter 356 Ajax Is Missing

Ace woke up early in the morning to discover that Luis was still sitting on his bed going through the pages of the large book he had seen on his bed yesterday.

He wasn't surprised though as he knew the Angel didn't need sleep to replenish his energy and stay fit.

"Is the book really that interesting?" Ace asked, rubbing his eyes.

"If you mean interesting in the aspect of reading something for fun, no," Luis replied, shaking his head. "But acquiring historical knowledge can be interesting, you know, especially when it's about something you really want to know."

"I know but I don't think I can read a book that large in one knight no matter how interesting it may be." Ace said as he could see that Luis was in the few last pages of the book.

"Yeah, you'll get tired, fall on your bed and then fall asleep," Luis said.

"Yeah." Ace said sitting up on the bed. "So what's the book talking about?"

"You want me to explain everything I've read to you?" Luis said with a baffled look on his face.

"No, no, no just the cool parts like how Angels came into existence, that is what the book is talking about isn't it?" Ace said.

"Umm…..It didn't exactly give a clear description of how Angels came into existence." Luis said. "But it does explain how their population grew and everything about their hierarchy system."

"Okay." Ace said.

"There were ten original Angels in heaven and they were all alone for many years until they discovered human existence on earth.

"They were surprised by how they had the same features as the humans but they were also surprised by how weak the humans were compared to them.

"Humans didn't have abilities then and there was no trace of celestial energy found in them."

"What's celestial energy?" Ace asked.

"I don't really know, the book didn't really say much about it, the only thing I know is that it was something possessed by the ten original Angels," Luis said.

"Okay." Ace said. "Continue."

"The Angels seemed to have developed quite the interest in human civilization and even personal interest in some of the humans. It didn't take long before they started to associate with them but they did this without revealing their true identities.

"In their association with humans, some of them mistakenly transferred their auras into them and turned them into Angels and Demi-Angels.

"Because of the kind of weapons they saw humans make and the kinds of things they did with those weapons, they decided to keep their abilities away from humans but turning a few humans into Angels was putting that agreement in danger.

"In order to prevent the humans from finding out about that ability, they returned to heaven with those human turned Angels and that was how the Angel civilization began."

"Did the human turned Angels agree to follow them or were they taken against their will?" Ace asked.

"I don't know, the book only said that they returned to heaven with them, it didn't say anything about how the humans felt," Luis said.

"Okay." Ace said getting up from his bed to stretch himself. "I'm going to go brush my teeth and head out."

"Oh yeah, I forgot to ask you," Luis said as he approached the door to the bathroom.

"Ask me what?" Ace turned to him to ask.

"How did your date with Chloe go?" Luis asked.

"It was supposed to last for more than a few minutes if you had not shown up after saying you weren't going to come." Ace said. "I was surprised to hear Tania say you were coming to the cafeteria after you told me that you weren't coming."

"So you think it's my fault that your date didn't last that long," Luis said.

,m "It's not actually your fault because you didn't know you were going to get attacked but it's your fault somehow." Ace said before entering the bathroom and shutting the door.

At the girls' dormitory area inside room number thirteen, the three girls Ella, Silvia, and Monica could be seen lying on their beds fast asleep.

The sun was slowly beginning to rise but that wasn't really their problem as today was the last free day before the tournament kicked off tomorrow.

Silvia was the first to get up from her bed and after going to the bathroom she returned to find her roommates still fast asleep on their beds.

She looked at Ella for a while as she could tell something wasn't exactly right but she just couldn't put her fingers to it.

It was after she had walked closer to her bed and checked beside her pillow that she finally figured out what seemed off to her.

Ajax always slept beside Ella just beside their head, he was just about the size of Ella's head so the both of them shared the same pillow but looking at that side of the pillow now, Ajax was nowhere to be found.

She didn't try to wake Ella immediately as she checked under Ella's bed and then checked under her bed to see if he was there but she wasn't able to find him.

She opened the closet in the room to check but he still wasn't there and after checking under Monica's bed and still not finding him, she was sure that he was no longer in the room.

"Hey, Ella, Ella." She shook her roommate to wake her up.

"What? What?" Ella said, getting up from her bed with drowsy eyes.

"Ajax, he's not here," Silvia said.

"What?" Ella said quickly springing up from her bed.

The first thing that came to her mind was to check under her bed and when she couldn't find him there, she went to check under Silvia's bed.

"I've checked those places, he's not here," Silvia said, shaking her head.

Ella didn't say anything as she turned to Monica with a horrid look on her face.

The noise from Ella had woken her up and she was rubbing her eyes now as she slowly sat up on her bed.

"What's going on guys?" She asked, looking at her two roommates who were standing on the other side of the room.

"Have you seen Ajax?" Silvia asked.

That was a weird question to ask someone who just woke up but she assumed that she may have woken up in the night and seen him moving around or something.

"Wait, he's not here?" Monica said with a surprised look on her face.

"No," Silvia said, shaking her head.

Ella enhanced her ears and listened carefully for him in the room but her ears didn't seem to be picking up any sound.

"If that wolf gets caught by anybody outside, he is going to be in serious trouble," Monica said.

"But why would Ajax go outside, he never left our room at our academy?" Ella said with a worried look on her face.

"Well, this isn't Crockel and if he isn't here now that means he must have gone outside," Monica said.

"Maybe he hasn't gone far yet," Silvia said before quickly zooming out of the room.

Ella quickly rushed outside as Silvia returned to the door at the same time.

"I didn't see him around the area and if I don't know where he went in particular, I can't look for him," Silvia said.

"This isn't good," Ella said, staring off into the distance with a worried look on her face.

Having a demon Wolf running around an academy filled with different students from four different academies was something Ella had not really anticipated.
