My Angel system-Chapter 319 Balancing The Deal

Jude and Tuchel were lucky to have Tauriel with them as the she-elf had read a lot of books about adapting to new environments.

The first thing they had done after hitting the floor after Jude had explained what happened to them was get new clothes as it was clear that their dressing style was very different from the dressing style of this new world.

Everything seemed new and different to them, the cars, the buildings, the city, this new world was beautiful compared to their world.

The two elves were getting a lot of attention as they walked into a cloth shop but they were really surprised that no one had called them out for being elves.

"I guess elves don't exist in this world," Tauriel muttered to Tuchel.

"Yeah but if this is the transition of our world, doesn't that mean we somehow went extinct?" Jude asked and that was a valid point that he had made.

"You can't be sure, this is only one place in this world, maybe the people in this part don't know about them," Tauriel said.

The first thing the two elves had done on getting to the cloth shop was looking for beanies and when they found them they quickly put them on.

It was clear they didn't like the kind of attention they were getting.

They also took some clothes which they immediately put on throwing their old ones to the side.

Jude was worried that since a lot of things were different in this world that the medium of exchange was going to be different but he let out a sigh of relief when he discovered that that was one of the few things that remained unchanged.

He was glad he was with a good amount of gold and silver coins when he got chased by the guards and with those coins, he was able to pay for the clothes they had taken.

Walking out of the shop Jude was now putting on a black long sleeve shirt, a pair of black trousers, and a pair of black sneakers.

"These clothes are slightly uncomfortable but not as uncomfortable as my armor," Jude said.

Tuchel, on the other hand, preferred something that extended from his body downwards and that was why he was putting on a brown cloak but he was also putting on black trousers under.

Tauriel just like her brother liked extended clothes as she was putting on a black robe with a pair of black trousers and black sneakers just like Jude's.

"What now?" Jude asked after they had walked a little distance away from the cloth shop.

"I suggest we get weapons," Tuchel said.

"Look around Tuchel does this place look like our world and do you see anyone carrying a weapon around?" Jude said looking around.

"I know but we have to be prepared for anything and that requires getting weapons, I wish I had come out with my bow, that my bow was my favorite," Tuchel said, looking up.

"Tuchel's right," Tauriel said. "We need to get weapons."

"Really? And where do you possibly think we could get them?" Jude asked.

"What of that shop over there?" Tauriel asked pointing at a shop in front of them which had posters of weapons on its glass.

Luis and Ace had arrived at the stadium and were now at the highest part of the stands and looking at the whole area from there brought up mixed feelings of excitement and amazement in them.

"I didn't think the stadium was going to be this big," Luis said.

"Me too." Ace said, looking around.

From up there, they could see the people setting up certain types of equipment on the pitch which the two guessed was for the tournament.

"I saw an arcade sign in one of the buildings outside the stadium, we should go check it out." Ace said.

"Okay," Luis said.

The two made their way down the stands and out of the stadium.

Ace wasn't mistaken when he said he saw an arcade sign, there was indeed an arcade in Phoenix academy.

The two walked into the noisy arcade where there were lots of students playing one game or the other.

"Are you with any coins?" Ace asked.

"Yeah," Luis said with a nod and smile after looking into his inventory.

Ace found most of the games the students interested but Luis didn't.

Most of the games only required your hands for the operation and that was just something he didn't understand. f𝚛e𝗲𝔀e𝚋𝑛o𝘃𝒆𝗹.c𝗼𝒎

It didn't take him long to spot a game that he did like in the arcade a game that seemed very familiar to him.

Playing the game required a lot of space and that was the reason why it was shifted away from the rest of the arcade.

There was a circular flat device placed on the floor with a machine in front of the student shooting discs at him.

The student was doing his best to hit and kick the discs away but it didn't take long before he had begun to get overwhelmed and had gotten hit by a couple of discs as the circular device on the ground turned red.

'That's just like the device Michael used to test our speed.'

"I remember playing that game," Luis said, pointing in the direction.

"Oh really, let's go check it out then." Ace said.

The student who had just gotten knocked down by a disc sat there as Mason approached him.

Mason was a third-year student who was known for being mean to other students, to cut things short he was a bully and this was one of his many ways of bullying students.

He was tall, huge, and had a scary face that most of the students were afraid of looking at.

He had taken control of the disc attack game and demanded that everyone who wanted to play make a bet with him.

The adults in charge of the arcade weren't doing anything about it as they get a little percentage from whatever Mason got every day.

"You really thought you could make it past level five," Mason said, shaking his head. "Now pay up." He said as his voice suddenly turned harsh.

The student had no choice as he didn't want to get beaten so he dropped two gold coins in the bully's hand.

"What just happened?" Ace asked with a confused expression on his face.

'I guess they have bullies here too.' Luis thought.

'They're everywhere.' Lena said.

"Good," Mason said with a smile before turning to the rest of the students around the area. "Now who wants to go next?"

None of the students wanted to go as almost all of them had lost two coins each and were afraid to lose more.

"I'll go," Luis said, raising his hand.

"Oh, come to the spot then." Mason said, pointing at the flat and circular device just in front of the machine."

"Are you sure you want to do this, you don't have two gold coins?" Ace said.

"Yes, I do," Luis said, walking up to the spot.

"I will assume that you know the deal so give me your bronze coin," Mason said.

"Actually, I don't know the deal," Luis said.

"Oh," Mason said as a wry smile appeared on his face. "You're one of them from Crockel academy."

"Yeah," Luis said, looking him directly in the face.

"Ok, the deal is that you'll have to make it past level five or you will give me two gold coins," Mason said.

"Ok, and what's in it for me?" Luis asked.

"Huh?" Mason said.

"It has to be a balanced deal so you'll have to also include that you'll be the one to give me two gold coins if I eventually make it past level five," Luis said.

"Oh, I see you're trying to be smart," Mason said. "Deal and you better have your gold coins ready."

"I have them ready," Luis said with a nod as he stuck his hand into his pockets and handed him the bronze coin just like he asked.

Mason took the coin from him, walked to the machine, and slotted it into its coin slot.

As the coin had entered the machine, the countdown began from ten.

"I just hope you know what you're doing Luis." Ace muttered.

The countdown ended as the machine began shooting discs at him starting from level one.

Just like the one Michael had used on them, level one was slow and the machine was only shooting from one hole.

Luis didn't have any trouble punching and kicking the discs away in level one.

Level two the machine switched to two holes with a slight increase in speed but that also wasn't a problem for Luis who kicked and punched the discs without any problem.

Level three the machine switched to three holes with another increase in speed but Luis still kept his cool as he kicked and punched the discs without stepping away from the circular device on the floor.

At level four there was a significant increase in speed and Mason was looking forward to his downfall in this level but the Angel kicked and punched all the discs away before they could hit or fly past him.

"He just cleared level four and he doesn't look drained." A student said.

"He's doing great so far."

"I didn't expect him to get this far."

"I really thought he was like one of those overconfident idiots."

"Chill men let's see how he will fair in level five before we start making conclusions."

Mason was really surprised to see Luis make it this far and the shocking part of it was that he didn't look tired.

"There's no way you're getting past level five," Mason said as the machine gave out a ding sound signaling the beginning of level five.

"You can do it, Luis." Ace said as the first discs shot out and were both kicked away by the Angel.
