Chapter 27 Tammy’s Suspicion
Everyone had gotten the news that the school had been completed and that the students would be returning to school soon.
Tammy was very glad to hear this because she was starting to get bored of staying at home and was looking forward to returning to the school
Luis on the other hand didn't feel good or bad about it but there was one thing which he wanted to do whenever he returned to the school and that was to check if that machine would still give him zero percent then he will know something is off because he had still improved after the machine said he couldn't
The school was rebuilt well and fine and the students who were still training and learning there were going to return soon but there was something that had been added that everyone wasn't going to be so welcoming about.
The school had now made it mandatory that all students and teachers should now live in the school and for the whole semester and there was going to be thorough h check up on the day everyone was to return, these new policies were being implemented to stop any demon from infiltrating them again.
Tammy was gladdened by this change because now she would have to train without any distractions but she couldn't say that she wouldn't miss her parents and her little brother.
There were other pieces of information but they were all informed that they would get it whenever they reached the school.
Luis was training more on his own now and was getting used to Tammy's sword, his technique was getting better and he was improving overall with using the sword.
As he swung his sword a thought came to his mind and his swings began to slow down.
'What if Tammy decides to take you away from me now.' He thought. 'Then I will no longer have any weapon to fight with.'
Luis decided to head back to his room and have a little rest before Greg returned from work.
He was quite fascinated with everything that was happening to him so far, back at his home he would constantly get maltreated by his aunt but here he was living a good life and had a power he never wished to have in a place that wasn't even his home.
The saying that there was no place like home didn't revolve around him but still, he would wish to return to his home one day to return the favor to those who had looked out for him. He hadn't forgotten Tania and he would never forget Leo.
Thinking about home reminded Luis of the reason why he was here.
'It's strange how that stupid book disappeared after I had gotten here.' He wondered. 'I never thought it would get tired of talking to me.'
When Luis was in the middle of his thoughts, a message appeared on his screen, one he had never seen before.
[ Quest ]
[ Get stronger ]
[ Get to Level 10 ]
[ Rewards ]
[ ???? ]
[ ???? ]
This was the first time he was getting a quest and he didn't even know what the rewards for completing were going to be, because that part was greyed out.
Luis looked at the second message on the screen and he was getting a familiar feeling as his mind was going wild with thoughts now.
'No, it can't be.' He shook his head.
Then he continued staring at the screen.
"Get stronger huh." He said. "I'll be glad to."
Luis knew that the only way he could get stronger physically was to keep leveling up while adding the stat points he gained where necessary and the only way he knew he could get EXP now was by killing the demons he could kill with the level he was in now.
The other option was his abilities, right now he had access to three abilities that he could unlock and use but he had only been able to unlock one of the fire ability and that was only because the demons had fire abilities which meant that to unlock the two other abilities he had to find people with those abilities and block their elemental attacks ten times to unlock any of them.
After going through everything Luis decided to go demon hunting, because then he could upgrade his fire ability to level two and who knows which fire skill he would unlock after that, but he would have to wait till Tammy had gone in for her afternoon nap so that she wouldn't realize that he was gone then he would have to be back before.
Luis stood on their training ground pretending to be training while monitoring Tammy with his aura vision until she had finally laid down on her bed and that was when he moved out.
Tammy had immediately gotten up after Luis had left and was now heading downstairs, she quickly rushed to the training ground where she had seen Luis last and was now following in his footsteps.
She continued following the footsteps until they had eventually gotten to the road, she continued to walk straight while checking if she could spot any other footsteps by the side of the road and she had spotted one moving into the forest.
'That fool, does he want to get killed?'
Immediately she entered the forest, she could hear the groaning and screeching of the demons and that was when she could see who was causing all the trouble, she had planned to save Luis if he was alive but what she was seeing now was beyond her, she rubbed her eyes a couple of times to check if her eyes were playing tricks on her, but it was all real.
Luis was standing there holding off about ten demons on his own and he didn't seem to be struggling.
Tammy quickly hid behind a big tree to avoid being seen by Luis. 𝗳𝙧𝐞𝚎w𝗲𝚋n𝚘𝙫𝑒𝘭.𝑐om
He watched Luis as he continued to strike down the demons, when he had killed the demon in front of him a fireball was coming at him from behind. Tammy wanted to jump out and push him out of the way but then something unexpected by her had happened, Luis had opened his hand and shot out a fireball which consumed the demon's fireball, and continued moving further finishing the demon in one strike.
'He….. he's a demon.' Tammy couldn't keep her thoughts in check now, simply put she was terrified.
Luis had heard the sounds of leaves being crushed, he quickly activated his aura vision to check if there was anything but the only thing he was able to catch was a faint yellow Aura escaping the range of his aura vision.
The aura had escaped before he could see it but he was sure it was definitely human, but what would a human being be looking for here? That was when something clicked on his head.
"Tammy." Luis gasped.
He took off at a fast pace heading straight for home and thanks to his improved stats he was a lot faster than before.
Tammy quickly rushed into her room and shut the door immediately, she was panting heavily and her face was full of sweats, she was just glad that her mother had gone off with Ray to buy some things in the market, or else she would have asked her questions after seeing her rush into the house like that.
While she was trying to catch her breath she suddenly heard a knock on her door, she quickly rushed to her bed and covered herself with her sheets.
The knocking continued until she finally said something.
"It's open!"
The door opened and in came Luis, he was surprised to see Tammy in this type of room, which had lots of white and little of pink he expected someone like Tammy to be a dark kind of person but this reminded him that she was just like any other girl.
"What do you want?" She grumbled.
"I just wanted to know if you could train with me," Luis said scratching his head nervously.
He hadn't actually thought of what to say before coming here, and this was the best he could think of.
Tammy sighed and covered her face with her pillow.
"We will train in the evening."
"Ok," Luis said and walked out of the room.
Before he left he activated his aura vision and turned back at the door to see that Tammy was already on her feet and was pacing back and forth in her room.
Luis had seen Tammy jump onto her bed when he knocked and this had given him the confirmation that Tammy was the one who had the yellow aura that escaped his view earlier, but still, he wanted to see if she would say something to him about seeing him do something.
'I just hope she didn't see anything.' Luis thought.
He had learned to keep his thoughts in his head whenever he was close to any of the Phillips.
Luis walked to him with whatever Tammy was doing at the back of his mind and now it was time to see what he had achieved.
Luis killed twenty demons and was able to level up twice all he needed now was a little EXP to get to level nine.
[ Level: 09 ]
[ EXP 810/900 ]
[ Physical Status ]
[ Strength: 14 ]
[ Stamina: 10 ]
[ Agility: 9 ]
Luis had increased his strength once more since it was his priority but that didn't mean he could leave the others slacking and had added one point to stamina and two to agility which was receiving the least stat points.
[ Fire ability Level: 2 ]
[ Fire points 60/60 ]
[ Fire ability points 0/30 ]
Luis was a little disappointed by a lot of things here, first being that he had expected his fire points to double up but it had only increased by ten and the new fire skill he was expecting never came.
While Luis was looking at his screen when he heard the sound of an engine downstairs.
Greg was back and now it was time to see if he could get a soul weapon.
