My Angel system

Monica had stopped looking for Orah and had her gaze on the screen now after Luis had told her not to worry that he was going to show up.

The Angel had told Monica not to worry but he had gotten a little worried after she had told him what happened with Orah and was slightly looking around to see if he would spot him anywhere in the arena.

The countdown was over but neither Ella nor Maya was too quick to attack.

They were both being cautious as they began to walk around on their axis while trying not to break eye contact with each other.

Maya summoned her scythe and held it horizontally while walking around her axis, waiting for the right moment to attack.

She would have outright attacked Ella without being cautious if it wasn't for the fact that the first-year student had put up a lightning show in her first fight.

Ella didn't summon her soul weapon yet as she kept moving around her axis while keeping eye contact with Maya.

"Okay, this is taking too long," Maya said as she stopped walking and with a kicking motion sent a large ball of ice heading towards Ella.

Ella quickly enhanced her legs which enabled her to avoid the ball of ice by stepping to the side.

Maya didn't stop there as she shot out two more ice balls from her hands and tripled the ice balls with another kicking motion.

She avoided the first two ice balls with an impressive flip and for the third one, she summoned her axes which she used to divide it into two as soon as her legs had touched the floor.

'As long as she doesn't use that crazy lightning ability, we're safe.' Maya thought as she closed up on her with her scythe.

Maya was really good with her soul weapon as she spun and twisted it many ways while trying to get a hit on Ella who was blocking the attacks with her axe while getting pushed back.

Ella was really struggling with blocking those attacks with her short axes and each block although successful was forcing out a moan from her.

Seeing that attacking with her scythe wasn't really getting her anywhere, Maya decided to try something different.

She spun and swung her scythe at Ella who blocked it with both of her axes and was trying to push her off now.

Maya didn't want to start a battle of raw strength there as she covered her knee with hard ice and sent it down Ella's stomach.

The force from that knee kick had sent Ella flying backward and crashing to the floor as her axes fell beside her.

"You know it's really cool how you have water ability and your sister has ice," Presley said as he turned to Pearl who had returned with a new uniform and was now standing between him and Tammy.

"Yeah, but you know ice is just frozen water, it's not really an original elemental ability," Pearl said, keeping her gaze on the screen.

"Yeah," Presley said, trying to figure out where she was really going with that statement.

Pearl was right, the ice ability wasn't really an original elemental ability and was just frozen water but still, it was considered to be more unique than the water ability.

There had been speculations in the past about how water ability users may be able to control or form ice due to how ice was just frozen water but after many trials even from high-level water ability users, it appeared to be impossible.

Ella let out a groan as she tried to get up from the floor, she looked ahead to see Maya hearing towards her she out of Instinct she picked up one of her axes and threw it towards the second-year student.

Maya acted out of her instinct as she quickly raised her scythe to hit away the axe that was heading towards her with full speed.

The axe wasn't knocked to the side or anywhere else as it came flying back to Ella.

The axe hit her shoulder, piercing it in the process and forcing out a gush of blood from it.

"Ella." Luis gasped.

"Oh no." Monica and Silvia said in unison although they were far apart from each other.

"Arghhh!!" Ella groaned with her teeth gritted as she tried to stop the blood flow with her hands.

She was letting out huffs and puffs as sparks of lighting began to appear in her eyes and it didn't take long before sparks of lighting began to encircle her.

"Does she always do that when she's angry?" Sonia asked.

'I forgot to ask her about that.' Luis thought.

"Uh oh," Silvia said.

Maya slowly drew back as the lightning surrounding Ella began to get more intense as her eyes had completely gone white with sparks of lighting and now she was beginning to levitate slowly.

'Ella stop, you're going to lose more blood and energy!' Jasmine tried to call her back to her senses but just like the other times, she didn't seem to be in control anymore.

Bryan and Layla had returned to the base now and just like the female Lieutenant had said, neither the head general nor the commander had paid them a visit during that short period of time.

"Thanks for filling in for us Rayo," Layla told the Sergeant who had come out to meet them.

"It's not a problem ma," Rayo said.

Bryan didn't have time for a chat as he quickly made his way to his office, dropped the scroll on his keyboard, sat down on the seat in front of his monitor, and turned on the footage of the scroll falling from the sky.

He was watching the video slowly trying to find any details that might link to the portal when Layla entered the office and walked straight to him.

She looked at the monitor screen for a while before turning her gaze to the scroll which was spread out on top of the keyboard.

"I still can't believe that's English." She said,

"Maybe it's how the English in their world is written," Bryan said with his gaze still on the monitor's screen.

"Yeah but it's still weird."

Bryan didn't reply to her as he kept slowing down the footage to see if he would find anything.

"You've been watching that footage in slow motion since morning and you still haven't found anything. Can't you try something else?" Layla said.

"Something else like what?" Bryan asked, turning to her.

"Well, we both can see that the scroll fell directly from the sky."

"Yeah," Bryan said, turning to the monitor and then turning back to her.

"And that sky is very bright," Layla said.

"Yeah, but I still don't get your point," Bryan said.

"What I'm saying is, try dimming the lightning of that video while playing it in slow motion," Layla said.

"Ok but I'm not sure if that's going to show me anything," Bryan said, turning back to the monitor.

"Just do it."

Bryan didn't say anything as he dimmed the lightning until it looked like it was going to rain and then played the footage from the beginning in slow motion.

They watched the slightly dark sky for a while until the scroll had dropped out of it and that was when Layla had spotted something, something that Bryan wasn't able to spot.

"Pause." She said abruptly.

"What is it?" Bryan asked after quickly pausing the footage.

"Zoom in," Layla said.

"Where?"

"On the sky, the spot where the scroll had fallen out from," Layla said.

"Ok," Bryan said as he zoomed in on the spot until Layla had told him to stop.

"Do you see that?" Layla said, pointing at a blue thin line that was in the sky.

"Yeah, it's a very thin Blue line," Bryan said as he had looked really closely before spotting the line.

"Now return the video to normal size," Layla said.

"Ok," Bryan said as he returned the video to its normal size.

"Look closely at the spot where you saw that blue line when you zoomed in," Layla said, pointing at the monitor's screen. "What do you see?"

It took Bryan quite a while but he had managed to spot what Layla was showing him as he had spotted what Layla was trying to show him.

"The blue light, it's in a triangular form." He said.

"Now try rewinding the footage, in slow motion," Layla said.

Bryan did as she had told him and rewound the footage in slow motion to see that the scroll had fallen through the middle of the triangular blue lines.

"That's the portal." He muttered as he turned to Layla with a dumbfounded look on his face.
