My Angel system-Chapter 355 Easier Than Expected

The time wasn't 10 pm yet so there were still a few students hanging out outside and there were those he needed to get some things before the curfew was set, but most of the students in the academy were in their dorm rooms.

Luis was still pondering on what this golden aura was and how it improved him like this as he made his way back to his dorm room.

He scanned the room with his aura vision as he approached the door to see that both Ace and Dylan were in the room.

He opened the door to find Ace lying on his bed and Dylan on his bed above him.

"I was beginning to wonder when you were going to return." Ace said as soon he heard the door open and close.

Luis didn't reply to him as he walked straight to his bed and stared at the book there for a while before sitting down beside it.

"What happened?" Ace asked, turning to face him on his bed.

"Well, it turns out someone who wanted to hurt me was trying to use him to do that," Luis said.

"Huh? I don't understand?" Ace said with a confused expression on his face.

"Have you ever heard of the ability, mind deception?" Luis asked.

"Yeah, the ability to trick people to do things through the mind people mistake it for compulsion most of the time but there's a big difference between the two abilities." Ace said.

"Okay, you clearly know about the ability," Luis said with a little nod.

"What about the ability? Wait….was that what was used on the boy who attacked you?" Ace asked.

"Yeah," Luis said with a nod.

"How?"

"Wasn't it obvious? He thought I was a demon and when I read his mind, I discovered that he thought I was the particular demon that murdered his parents." Luis said.

"His parents were murdered by demons?"

"Yeah," Luis said with a nod. "I'm just glad he still wasn't under the mind deception when he was brought into the Lieutenant's office, things would have turned out a lot different if that had happened."

"Yeah, that would have been terrible." Ace said. "But did you guys find the person responsible for this?"

"No, the Lieutenant said Crockel academy has to deal with whatever's going on by themselves but that's not a problem because I already have my suspects," Luis said.

"George and his gang right?" Ace said.

"Yeah," Luis said.

"That makes sense, they've already tried to kill twice, it's not a surprise they will be trying for the third time." Ace said.

"Yeah and given the fact that Michael took away all his dark magic weapons, this may be his best option now," Luis said.

"Haa! Best option that's going to fail." Ace said.

"Yeah but there's a problem," Luis said.

"What?" Ace asked.

"I've come across all the members of George's gang and I don't think any of them has the mind deception ability," Luis said.

"Are you sure?" Ace asked.

"Unless there are more people in his gang apart from the ones I've met, yeah I'm pretty sure," Luis said.

"Why don't we ask Dylan if there are more people in his gang?" Ace said, looking up at the bed above him.

"Why?"

"Because he's worked with them before." Ace said before kicking his bed from below to wake up.

"Get up from there." Ace said as he kicked the bed again forcing Dylan to slowly get up from his bed.

"What do you want?" Dylan asked with a slow sorrowful voice as he raised his head off the bed.

"Do you know anyone one from George's gang who has a mind manipulation ability?" Ace asked.

"How am I supposed to know? I wasn't one of them, they only forced me to help them lure Luis into their trap." Dylan said with his sorrowful voice.

"And you gladly did it without thinking twice about it." Ace said.

"I thought more than twice about it, I couldn't even get enough sleep because I was thinking about it, I didn't want to do it," Dylan said.

"And then you still went ahead and did it." Ace said. "Just go back to sleep, you don't have what we need."

Before Dylan laid his head back on his bed, he made eye contact with Luis.

The Angel saw how heavy his eyes were from all the sobbing he had been doing lately and reading his mind he could hear him blaming himself for what happened and wishing that everyone would just forget about it.

'You have to talk to him or you're going to be the reason for his total breakdown.' Lena said.

"Don't worry Luis, we'll figure out who this is, one way or the other." Ace said. "Who knows, maybe he has a friend here or any of the other academies who have this ability."

"Yeah, you have a point there," Luis said.

The sun had almost set completely over Asaka as everywhere was beginning to get dark.

Festus had his staff's light on but on low light just like it had been since they were put in the prison.

The light wizard had gone mute a few minutes after the conversation with Vemore and no matter what Carl said, there was no response from him.

The whole place was quiet until the two began to hear tiny footsteps heading toward them.

It was tiny footsteps so Carl already had an idea of who it was.

"Hey," Diana whispered as soon as she had entered the area before quickly making her way to the bars. "I brought you guys something." She said dropping whatever she had wrapped in the paper bag she was holding inside the bar.

Carl got closer to grab the bag but he wasn't even looking at the bag as he had his gaze on her.

"What?" Diana asked after noticing the way he was looking at her.

"Nothing, it's just that you look astonishingly pretty today," Carl said before bringing his gaze down to look at what she had brought them.

"Thank you," Diana said with a blush.

He wasn't exaggerating when he said she looked astonishingly pretty.

Her hair wasn't just tied back like before as she had made two braids with the front part of it which ran down both of her cheeks while leaving the rest of the hair loose.

She had her face powdered to bring out more of her fairness and instead of her princess gown, she was putting on a normal sleeveless black gown which showed more of her slightly pale and slender arms and body.

"What's in the bag?" Carl asked.

Diana smiled and was about to reply when something suddenly zoomed into the room and grabbed her by her neck, pulling her up and cutting her short of breath. 𝗳𝘳𝐞e𝙬𝙚𝚋𝗻𝚘𝚟𝗲l.𝑐𝑜ｍ

She tried to scream but the sound wasn't coming as the hooded figure had a firm grip on her throat.

Carl was startled at first but that wasn't going to be enough to stop him from doing what he wanted to do.

"Hey, let go of her, she has nothing to do with any of your schemes!" Carl said, slightly raising his voice.

Diana was struggling to get some air into her lungs as she kicked her leg in the air, Carl didn't like seeing her in this kind of condition.

"If you want her to live then you have to get that staff from the wizard." The witch said pointing at Festus.

Carl expected the voice to be masculine but he was surprised by how feminine it sounded.

"Are you serious? You know I can't take that staff from him." Carl said as he was beginning to get desperate here. "Please let her go so that we can settle this in a better way."

"There is no better way than this, if you're not willing to do what I told you then say your goodbye to her." The Witch said.

"Diana, no!"

She was about to crush her throat when Festus quickly got up from where he was sitting and stamped his staff on the ground as everywhere immediately got covered by very bright white light. f𝚛e𝚎𝘄𝒆𝚋𝚗𝚘ѵ𝑒𝚕.𝑐𝘰𝑚

It didn't take long before the light cleared up to reveal the witch standing there alone as Festus, Carl, and Diana whom she had a grip on her throat were gone.

Diana was breathing heavily as the three appeared in the forest.

She had almost dropped to the floor but Carl had caught her before that happened.

"Hey, it's okay, it's okay," Carl said, trying to calm her down.

This was the closest she had ever been to death and as a princess, it was a very terrifying experience for her.

"Quick Carl, where's the portal?" Festus said abruptly.

"It's over here," Carl said as he helped Diana stand fully on her feet before quickly following Festus who was heading in the direction that he pointed.

Diana was still trying to recover from what just happened to her so he made sure not to let go of her.

They had arrived at the portal but they were way too early as the portal wasn't active and it didn't look like it was going to be active any time soon, but that wasn't a problem for Festus who quickly stamped his staff on the floor beside the hole to kick-start the portal in some way.

'I didn't expect that to work on the first try.' He thought as he turned to Carl and Diana.

"Jump in fast!" He yelled.

"What's that?" Diana asked as she was a little hesitant to follow Carl. "What's going on Carl?"

"Trust me, Diana, it's nothing to be afraid of," Carl said. "I'll explain everything to you later, I promise."

"Be fast, this is the only way to prevent this," Festus said.

Carl pulled Diana along with her and grabbed both of her arms before jumping into the portal.

After the two had jumped into the portal, Festus quickly jumped in as the portal closed up.

As soon as the portal closed up, the hooded witch appeared beside it and pulled down her hood to reveal the wry smile on her face.

"That was easier than I expected." She said looking into the hole.

The three had found themselves on an empty tarred road and because the sun was just rising, everywhere was partially dark with nobody around the area.

There was a large billboard in front of them which had something written on it with lights to clearly display it at night.

The words were..'Welcome to the central city, Phoenix.'

"What is this place?" Diana asked, looking around.
