E stared at Luis and the two girls for a while before turning to face Silvia.


    "I''m not jealous, I just didn''t like the way she pushed me," E said.


    "If you didn''t like the way she pushed you, you should have done something about it," Silvia said.


    "You don''t resolve everything through violence Silvia," E said, moving away from her a little.


    "And who''s talking about violence?" Silvia said. "All I''m saying is that you should have told her that you didn''t like the way she pushed you."


    "Oh," E said.


    Luis was in the middle of Ciara and Sonia who seemed to have picked interest in the same topic and were talking about.


    ''If I tell you that I''mfortable standing here Lena, I am a bad joker.''


    ''You''re notfortable?'' Lena asked.


    ''Yeah.''


    ''Most boys would like this.'' Lena muttered.


    ''What?''


    ''Nothing.''


    "Where''s E?" Luis said, looking at the left side of the arena to see E standing a little distance away from them with Silvia.


    "Who''s E?" Sonia asked.


    "She''s my friend," Luis said. "Sorrydies but we were talking about something before you interrupted us." He added before he quickly walked off making his way to E.


    E was pretending to have her gaze on therge screen while Silvia was busy looking around.


    ''You know up till now, I still don''t understand your feelings for the young Angel.'' Jasmine said.


    ''What feelings?'' E asked.


    ''You act like you don''t really have any deep feelings for him and yet anytime you see him talking to another girl your heartbeat slows down confusingly.''


    ''Huh?''


    "E." E heard her name and quickly turned to the side to see Luis.


    "Are you done talking with your girlfriends?" She said with a voice that made Silvia turn her gaze to her for a few seconds before turning away.


    "They are not my girlfriends, they are just friends I met yesterday," Luis said.


    ''Doesn''t the fact they are your friends and are also girls make them your girlfriends?'' Lena said.


    "Yesterday?" E said.


    "Yeah, I didn''t know her name was Sonia until yesterday," Luis said, already aware of what she was about to ask.


    "Ok." She said,


    E had the green crystal on her ne inside her cloth but Luis could see it glowing with the help of his aura vision.


    He wouldn''t have used his aura vision to check it if it wasn''t for the multiple messages he was getting from his system.


    [ Ancient ?????? Detected ]


    [ Ancient ????? Detected ]


    He could see the green aura reaching to him and when it was about to touch him it was quickly pulled back to the crystal on E''s neck.


    "E," Luis called.


    "Yes," E answered.


    "Is there something you''re not telling me about that ne, the green crystal?" Luis asked.


    "How did you….?" E said, touching the part of her shirt where the ne was.


    She had hidden the ne and covered every part of it with her hair and still Luis was able to see it.


    "You don''t have X-ray vision, do you?" E asked.


    "No, but that ne has a green aura, a strong green aura like there''s something living in there," Luis said.


    E was quiet for a while before she replied.


    "That''s because there is someone living there." She said,


    Luis wasn''t surprised, he had always been getting the message from his system and he had never bothered to ask her about it.


    "She''s some kind of ancient being, her name''s Jasmine," E said, bringing out the ne.


    Luis stared at the ne for a while before slowly cing his hand on it.


    "Hello, young Angel." He heard a voice in his head but that wasn''t all as he immediately felt a spark in his head before his vision partially went white.


    "Arghhhh." He winced quickly, pulling his hand down. "What was that?"


    "What was what?" E asked.


    ''Yeah what was what?'' Lena asked.


    "Wee everyone to the second round of thepetition." Lieutenant Kate said as she was slowly being brought up by her earth pir.


    That had brought a partial end to their conversation as they had turned their gaze to Lieutenant Kate.


    "We have nine students left in thepetition from each ss and unlike yesterday the selection process will be mixed." Lieutenant Kate said. "That means two first-year students from thisbat ss can get chosen to fight each other or maybe a first-year student may be chosen to fight a third-year student."


    Luis was still looking at his hand as he was trying toprehend what just happened but he couldn''t really understand it as he had only heard a voice before the spark and white light followed.


    ''Did you do anything to him, Jasmine?'' E asked.


    ''Why would I? I only tried to talk to him but he pulled his hand away before I could do that.'' Jasmine said.


    Silvia had not said anything but she had seen and heard everything and she too was beginning to wonder why Luis had pulled his hand away like that.


    She nned to ask E but it was after thepetition had ended.


    The selection process began again as the first image stopped in the first round before the second image stopped.


    "The first fight of this round will be between Nate Smith and Jonathan Thompson." Lieutenant Kate said.


    "Your brother''s going first," Orah said, turning to Monica.


    "Yeah," Monica said, looking around.


    "Are you looking for anybody?" Henry asked, he seemed to have gotten over his loss yesterday.


    "Yeah, where''s Dn?" She said, still looking around.


    "Why don''t you go ask Luis?" Orah suggested.


    Nate stood opposite his opponent down at the arena as the countdown began and as soon as the countdown was over Jonathan summoned his double axes and charged in toward Nate.


    There was supposed to be a clear advantage here for Nate given that he was a second-year student while his opponent was a first-year student but that advantage wouldn''t apply most of the times when you pair a first-year student with a higher level than the second-year or third year student.


    The first thing Nate did as Jonathan got closer was nce at his watch to see that he was a level four higher while he was level five lower.


    There wasn''t much gap between their levels and that was the reason why he had to take this fight seriously.


    "Where''s Dn, Luis?" Monica asked as soon as she had gotten close to Luis.


    "Dn?" Luis said, turning his gaze to the back and he was d that he had spotted him standing quite a distance away from them.


    "He''s over there," Luis said, pointing to where he was standing.


    "What''s he doing there all alone?" Monica said quickly making her way toward him.


    Jonathan closed up on Nate who had not moved an inch and shed down both of his axes on him but the second-year student still didn''t move as he grabbed both axes on their head before they could hit him.


    Jonathan didn''t hesitate to knee him on his stomach pushing him back and forcing him to let go of his axes.


    He closed up on the second-year student and tried to sh down on him again but this time his axes had stopped mid-air and looking at Nate he could see that he was the problem but there was nothing he could do about it.


    Nate used his telekinesis to push him back a little before forming a fireball in his right hand and using it to st him back.
