My Angel system

Luis was glad that he had unlocked his water ability but he wasn't really cheerful because his expectations had been totally cut short.

After Pearl explained everything that happened to Tammy she stopped thinking that something else was going on but that didn't stop her from giving Luis cold stares now and then.

Luis wanted to leave as soon as possible since he had already gotten what he came for but Pearl insisted that he stayed and ate breakfast with them stating that he needed it, especially after what happened during their little spar.

"That's one of the downsides of not having an ability; those with one will still find a way to beat you even if you are more skilled," Tammy said as they ate their breakfast.

"I don't think he was more skilled than me," Pearl said, letting out a little chuckle.

"Yet he punched you into a tree."

Saying that triggered something in Pearl as she touched her stomach where Luis had punched her.

'That strength was abnormal.'

"That reminds me, why does Luis not have an ability?" Pearl asked.

While Luis was thinking of what to say Tammy had outright answered the question.

"His ancestors weren't given any crystal although Luis here does have an ability that is not very useful in fighting."

"You have an ability?" Pearl turned to Luis, probably demanding an explanation.

"I told you I don't see that as an ability," Luis told Tammy.

"Whether you see it as one or not it is still what it is."

Ignoring Tammy's words Luis explained his aura vision and how it worked to Pearl, since Tammy already knew about it there was no need to keep it a secret.

"Wow, that's cool."

"Yeah but not as cool as your water ability," Luis said, rubbing the back of his head.

"I don't think you need an ability."

"Huh?"

"I'm not saying that it won't be useful to you but you are already a good fighter without it all you need is a few mystic weapons and you'll be okay."

"Mystic weapon?"

"When was the last time you saw someone with that, have you ever seen anyone with that?" Tammy, who had been listening, decided to join the conversation.

"What's a mystic weapon?"

"A weapon created with magic and has special type of attacks depending on how the weapon was made," Tammy answered like she was doing a presentation.

"Nice definition Tam and to answer your own question, you haven't seen anyone with a mystic weapon because they are very expensive to procure and I'm not even sure anyone in Crockel has one.

"But coming to an empire like Phoenix, believe me when I say that almost every rich man there has a mystic weapon, even the non-fighters."

"What a morning." Luis stretched himself immediately he stepped out of the girls' room, he soon realized that he was getting suspicious stares from the girls all around and left the surroundings as fast as he could.

p His next destination was the library but he wanted to check if his guess about unlocking the water ability was right.

[ Special Abilities ]

[ Fire: Level 2 ]

[ Earth: Level 1 ]

[ Water:Level 1 ]

'I thought I had more abilities.' Luis was bummed, he was expecting to unmask other abilities after unlocking the last of these three but that didn't seem to be the case.

'Am I just a three-ability Angel?' Luis wondered.'But that's rare. According to the books I read the special Angels just had two abilities, Zillah was the only Angel who had up to three abilities and he didn't stop there.'

Thinking about his abilities just reminded Luis of the benefits he had for becoming an Angel, he still had skills that needed unlocking and he could still grow his abilities and get stronger.

'Who even has three elemental abilities in this world?'

Luis had put the thought of unmasking new abilities at the back of his mind and decided to head to the library.

Upon entering the library Luis didn't waste time to visit the little shelf with books all about Angels.

He picked the ones he was interested in studying and brought them back to the table where he wanted to stay.

'The three weaknesses of an Angel.' Luis read the title in his mind.'

Going through the book Luis had come across things that the writer of the book believed to be the weaknesses of an Angel.

The first one was killing the innocent, when an Angel knowingly or unknowingly kills someone who hasn't done anything wrong, their body would be set ablaze and burn for three days.

'Set ablaze?' Luis gulped at his thought.'How painful is that going to be?'

Luis took note of that just to make sure he doesn't have to feel such pain in the future.

The second one was something Luis was already aware of through his experiences.

The book explained that dark magic had a great effect on Angels especially when it is in their system, it was just the same as a human being having snake venom in his system.

Reading that part of the book made Luis wonder something.

'Can Angels die?'

Angels were known all over the world as divine beings way above humans, they were like gods only lesser but no one knew if they had a life span or just lived forever. But most people believed that Angels had no life span and just lived forever.

'If they truly can live forever then what's the use of that hp bar?' Luis thought.

That was when he remembered that he wasn't an Angel yet and was just half of it, part of him was still human.

'Maybe that hp bar will disappear when I become a true Angel.' Luis thought, imagining a pair of white wings sprouting out from his back.

He returned his attention to his book once more as he couldn't wait to see the last weakness of an Angel which he had no clue about, but just as he was about to flip the page he noticed a large figure towering over him and blocking the light that was helping him read.

Luis smelt trouble.

"Hello, Luis." Luis heard a monotone voice similar to that of a robot only that this one belonged to a human.

Luis raised his head to see a blonde-haired man smiling at him.
