Chapter 400 ID Problem



All eyes were on the Angel as he slowly walked off the pitch holding his shoulder as though it was hurting him.

"Well, I didn't expect Crockel academy to win the first competition of the day," Rosa said with a disappointed look on her face.

"Is that boy's shoulder really wounded?" Chris said with a suspicious look on his face.

"You saw him get stabbed," Mia said.

"Maybe the dagger didn't go as deep as we thought because he wasn't acting like someone who had a serious injury on his shoulder," Levi said.

"Are you kidding me, he was clearly struggling?" Mia said.

"I didn't see any struggles with all the things he did," Levi said.

Luis had finally gotten to his seat now where he was greeted with congratulations from Ace.

"Nice performance," Tania said.

"Thanks." He said.

Chloe didn't congratulate him as she seemed to be more concerned about his shoulder.

"How's your shoulder?" She asked.

"The pain's still there but I'm okay," Luis replied.

"You're okay? How deep did that dagger even go because judging from what I saw from up here, I think it went in pretty deep."

"No, it didn't go in that deep," Luis said in denial before placing his hand on the wounded shoulder.

"Okay, but still it's a little unbelievable how you were able to make it past those tough levels with a wound on your shoulder." She said.

"It's talent and skill Chloe, there's nothing unbelievable about it." Ace said.

"Did she stab you on purpose or was it the person trying to hurt slash kill you?" Chloe asked.

"Really? You think someone will just summon a dagger and stab someone they have never met before or ever had anything to do with?" Ace said.

"So, it was the person."

"Yeah," Luis replied with a nod.

"I have to return to where I'm supposed to be now," Mike said before turning his gaze to Ella.

"Okay," Ella said.

"What did you say you wanted to talk to me about again?"

"Umm…it's not that important, we can talk about it later." She said.

"Okay," Mike said.

"Let me know when Mom and Dad get here."

"Okay," Mike said before walking away from the area.

With the disc shooting competition done, a few other smaller events had taken place before the first day of the tournament finally came to an end.

"That's my cue," Bryan said standing up from his seat. "The three here should stay here with Layla, I'm going to find Tania."

"Okay," Jude said.

A few minutes after he had left the other staff in the areas began to move out and when Layla was sure that there was nobody apart from Jude and the elves close enough to see what was going on in her tablet, she brought up the tablet and turned it on.

"I think the sun is starting to set." She said.

"What's that?"

She quickly turned the tablet off and raised her gaze to see Iris standing.

"Iris." She muttered.

"Hi, Layla, where's Bryan?" Iris asked.

"He's not here," Layla said.

"Okay, who are these ones?" She asked looking at Jude and the elves.

"Is that supposed to be a question?"

"We're sergeants," Tuchel said.

"You don't have to tell her that," Layla said, hitting him with her elbow.

"Awww." The male elf winced.

"I don't remember beanies being part of the dress code for sergeants." She said looking at the black beanies both elves were putting on.

"I don't remember them being a violation of dress code," Layla said.

Iris didn't say anything as she kept her gaze on the three trying to intimidate them with the look on her face but none of them looked fazed especially Tauriel who wouldn't bother breaking the eye contact once it was established and the cold look on her face was beginning to make Iris reconsider her thought of trying to intimidate her with looks.

"When Bryan returns, tell him I said hi." The Lieutenant said before quickly making her way out of the area.

"Are all the Lieutenants from the other continents like this?" Jude asked as soon as she was out of earshot.

"No, Iris has an ego the size of a mountain, that's why we don't get along but I get along with the otter sergeants well," Layla said.

"Okay."

"Like I said before." She said as she scanned the area and after seeing that there was no one around, she returned her gaze to the tablet. "The sun has started going down." She said before clicking the button by the side for the screen to light up to show the sun in the red sky.

The crowd had become really rowdy after the students were told that they could leave.

They could have left one by one peacefully but everyone wanted to leave at the same time and in the process of trying to make it through the crowd with his friends, the Angel had gotten knocked down.

He quickly got up on his feet after hitting the ground to avoid turning into a foot mat but now, he couldn't find any of his friends.

He tried to call their names but he doubted that they would be able to hear him with all this noise.

'I don't think there's any need to panic since you already know the person behind the attacks.' Lena said.

'Yeah, but he doesn't know that and that means he can attack any of them, the others may be able to hold themselves with the help of their abilities but Tania.'

The Angel scrambled his way through the crowd until he got to the entrance where they were lesser and that was when he saw Tania standing with a male Lieutenant who happened to be Bryan.

"Hey, Luis," Tania said on spotting the Angel.

"Hey," Luis said, walking closer to her.

"Luis, the one you told me about, from your world," Bryan said.

"Yeah, that's him," Tania said. "Luis, this is Lieutenant Bryan, the one I told you about."

"Yeah, you told me about him," Luis said with a nod.

"Hi, Luis," Bryan said, stretching his hand for a handshake which the Angel didn't hesitate to accept. "I noticed you have a talent for dodging discs."

"You saw that."

"Well, it happened right here for everyone to see," Bryan said. "How's your shoulder?" The Lieutenant asked turning his gaze to his left shoulder which had bandages wrapped around it.

"The pain is still there but I'm okay." The Angel said scrunching up his face a little

"Okay," Bryan said before turning his gaze to Tania. "Hey, come with me, there's something I want to show you."

"What?" Tania asked.

"It's a surprise." The Lieutenant said.

"What kind of surprise?" She asked.

"Ummm….I can't say, but you're free to guess." He said.

"I'm not really good at guessing," Tania said, shaking her head while she was racking her brain trying to find out what this surprise could be.

"Then come let's go unveil the surprise." He said grabbing her by her arm. "You can come too, Luis."

"Okay," Luis said.

The Angel had previously tried something to find out what the surprise was but he had been met with a result that he didn't like.

[ Mind read blocked ]

[ Unable to break through mind ]

'This mind read better level up soon.' He said subconsciously before following Bryan and Tania back to the stands to find out what the surprise could be.

"Are those the teleporters?" Carl asked.

The three were standing in the park with their gaze on the rows of rectangular teleporters in the teleportation port.

"Yeah," Festus replied.

"They don't look anything like what I expected them to look like." The young knight said.

"What did you expect, travel crystals stuck on a rectangular frame?" Festus said.

"Uh…not exactly," Carl said.

"This world is way more advanced compared to ours, those teleporters don't even use travel crystals," Festus said.

"They don't?"

"No," Festus said, shaking his head. "Hope you're still with those coins."

"Diana?" Carl said turning his gaze to the Angel.

"Yeah, I'm with the coins." She said with a nod.

"Okay, let's go." The light wizard said before he began to make his way toward the area as the two followed him from behind.

There were no security officers to check them when they entered the area but just as they got closer to the portals, a female security officer from one of the buildings by the side came out to block their path.

"Hello, we want to use the portals please," Festus said.

She didn't reply as she slowly got closer to the three with a cold expression.

"Of course I know that's why you're here, for what other reason would you be in a teleportation port." She said scanning the three with her eyes.

"Okay," Festus said with an awkward expression on his face as he was starting to get a bad feeling about things now.

"Can I see your IDs please?" She requested.

"IDs?" Carl said with a confused expression on his face.

"Yeah, your identity cards." She said turning her gaze to the young knight.

"What's an ID?" The young knight leaned closer to the light wizard to ask.

"I think we may have a problem." The light wizard muttered with a worried expression on his face.
