My Angel system

Luis wasn't terrified by the red eyes, there was no reaction from him at all because he knew who those eyes belonged to.

"What took you so long?" Orah asked and walked into the moonlight making his red eyes less visible.

Luis ignored his question and decided to ask his own question.

"Are your eyes always like that?" The Angel asked.

"No, when a demon's eyes turn red it's a form of night vision which we activate by will."

Immediately after saying that the red color in his eyes disappeared leaving him with a normal-looking pair of eyes again.

"Why did you call me here and by this time?" Orah asked, his tone shifting to a suspicious one now.

There was a moment of silence between the two as both of them stared directly at each other without blinking, but that moment of silence didn't last long as Luis was the one to break the silence.

"I wanted to thank you for what you did today, that was a really good thing to do," Luis said.

"You're welcome but is that the only reason why you called me out here?" Orah said not quite buying what he just said.

'Yeah, I want to know why you're borrowing books about Angels from the library.' Luis wanted to blurt out his exact thoughts but he knew saying that would sound strange like he was monitoring him.

Even after saving him, he still didn't trust the demon completely but he couldn't outright attack him when he had done nothing wrong especially after he had saved him.

Seeing the demon at the Angel bookshelf twice had sealed in him the certainty that the demon was surely planning something against but what he was planning he didn't know exactly.

He didn't know how strong the demon was because the fight that was supposed to happen on their first meeting never happened but right now he wanted to get a taste of how strong he was.

"You're right that's not the only reason I'm here," Luis said. "I just thought you would be the perfect person for a serious spar."

Stretching his hands his flaming sword began to form until the full sword was in his hands.

'He wants to fight me?' Orah was surprised but also glad at the same time.

"That would be great but I can't do that," Orah said pointing at the Angel's sword.

'He can't summon a soul weapon, apart from the difference in nature and motives, Angels and demons have quite a lot in common.'

"We'll do no weapon combat then," Luis said as he returned his sword to his inventory, his voice sounded a little down here because he knew he was at a disadvantage now.

"Don't hold anything back, use everything you've got," Luis said as he clenched his fist.

'I don't think you want to see everything I've got.' Orah thought.

Luis was the first to attack after getting a nod from Orah.

He threw a fireball to distract the demon as he ran toward him. Orah simply stepped out of the way to avoid that.

Luis' distraction had worked well as he had gotten to the demon the moment he avoided the fireball and sent a punch toward his face.

The demon was aware of this and with his right hand, he parried the Angel's fist before it could hit his face and quickly jumped back.

"You said I shouldn't hold back right?" Orah said.

"Yes," Luis replied.

"Ok, here goes."

Two fireballs just larger than Luis' by a small mass formed in his hands and without further ado he threw them at the Angel.

Both of the fireballs were flying like boomerangs as they approached the Angel and he didn't know exactly what to make of them.

'I've never seen fireballs move like that before.'

The way both balls were moving was confusing but the Angel had a plan, he wanted to keep the fight as fair as possible by using only one ability, if not for that he would have used his earth ability or water ability to deal with both attacks.

With the way the balls were moving Luis knew one was going to get to him first and that was exactly perfect for his plan.

The ball coming from his right was about to hit him when he sprang up and while releasing fire streams from his leg he returned the fireball back to its sender, the second ball was upon him now, and immediately springing up once more he repeated the same kick move.

Orah caught both balls before they could hit him and then compressed them till they were gone.

'That was some move.' He thought.

[ 50/50 fire ability points ]

[ Fire ability level: 5 ]

[ New fire skill unlocked ]

[ Fire control ]

'A new fire skill.'

He didn't need to read the skill description as the name had already made clear what the skill would be able to do.

"Is that all you got?" Luis said to Orah as he brought both of his hands together to form a large fireball.

"Nope."

Orah placed both of his hands behind him and with his fire ability created a thrust that pushed him towards Luis, Luis was done forming his fire when the demon got close but before he could fire it at him it got kicked off his hands and went flying into the forest.

"No." Luis gasped as he stretched his hands towards the fireball, his main concern wasn't the fireball but what it would do to the forest if it was to land on anything dry.

Orah was surprised to see the ball stop moving immediately Luis stretched his hands towards it.

"How are you doing that?" The demon asked with his mouth wide open.

"Stop asking questions and go compress that ball like you did to the others," Luis said with a little aggressiveness in his voice as his hand was beginning to twitch.

Orah did as he was told and compressed the ball, Luis heaved a sigh of relief after bringing his hands down, he didn't think using fire control was going to be this hard.

'I held it in place but moving it was a problem.' The Angel thought.

"I don't think the forest is the best place to fight with fire," Orah said.

"Who's there!!" A voice was heard coming in their direction and soon a flashlight followed.

The guard got into the area and kept flashing his light around but he couldn't find anybody.

"I could swear I heard people's voices here." The guard said.

He kept flashing his light until he left the area unaware that the people he had heard their voices were high up in the trees, a pair of green eyes and a pair of red eyes were both proofs of that.

*****

First-year class B was all in murmurs and whispers until a certain someone walked in, someone they had never seen before, someone who always drew attention wherever she went.

"Is that our new teacher?"

"No, that's snow white."

"She's even prettier than Miss Nicole."

As always the boys were taking up themselves with the task of admiring the female that had just walked into their class.

"Hello students, your teacher won't be around today so I'll be filling in for her," Nova said.

"Why are Angels always sent to our class?" One of the boys muttered.

Nova ignored all their nonsense thoughts as she walked to the register.

"Ok, I was told I'm supposed to start with this, if you hear your name indicate you're here by raising your hand."

Before she could call the first name she was interrupted by Ella.

"But Ma'am we don't know your name yet," Ella said.

"Oh, you can call me Nova." The Angel said.

"Miss or Mrs. Nova?" Ella asked.

"Miss Nova is okay," Nova said with a smile.

"Ooooh, another miss."

'Silly children.' Nova thought with an evident smile.

She started with the roll calling and all those who were present were doing as they were told until she got to a certain name.

"Luis Miles." She called again.

"Yes ma'am."

Everyone turned to the door to see Luis standing there. Nova was shocked, she was supposed to be glad that she had found her target but she was shocked instead.

'Miles.' She only knew one Angel with the name Miles but the young Angel she was seeing now was also bearing the same name.
