Chapter 322 Just A Friendly Spar

Despite the fact that Ajax was a really cute wolf cub, Monica still thought that having a wolf cub as a pet wasn't a good idea and was trying to be okay with it until she had discovered that the wolf cub could breathe fire.

Ella didn't really know what to say as she stared back at Monica who was staring at her with a dumbfounded look on her face.

"Silvia could please get me some water?" She whispered to Silvia.

"Okay," Silvia said before quickly zooming out of the room.

"How is that wolf able to breathe fire?" Monica asked, finally getting the words as she pointed at Ajax.

'What are you thinking of making up now?' Jasmine asked.

'I don't know, you tell me.' Ella replied.

'I don't know either.' Jasmine said.

"Ella," Monica called.

Just then Silvia zoomed back into the room with two bottles of water in her hands.

"I got one for myself because I really need it." She said as she handed Ella one of the water bottles and sat down on her bed.

Ella quickly opened the water bottle as soon as she had grabbed it from Silvia and chucked Ajax's mouth into it to prevent more fireball accidents.

Monica didn't expect the water to go down to even half but she was surprised as the demon Wolf took in the whole thing.

'That's the least of my worries anyway.' She thought.

"You still haven't answered my question, Ella." She said,

"Look, Ajax has a fire ability, how he got it but recently I discovered that he has them," Ella said, dropping the demon Wolf on the floor.

"Doesn't that make him more dangerous, a fire-breathing wolf?" Monica asked with his gaze on Ajax who didn't really seem to care about what they were talking about and had quickly jumped on Silvia's bed.

"Ajax wouldn't hurt anybody," Ella said.

"He may not hurt you or anyone he's close to but you can't say the same for others," Monica said.

"He's just a cub, Monica," Ella said, slightly raising her voice.

"For now but in the next couple of months he will become a full-grown wolf and won't be able to stay in this room," Monica said.

'She's right about that one.' Jasmine said.

"So what do you want me to do?" Ella asked.

"I don't know but I think it would be best to return Ajax to where he really belongs," Monica said before opening the door and walking out of the room.

Ella stared at the door quietly for a while before turning her gaze to Ajax who was lying on Silvia's lap.

Ace had followed Luis as he walked back to their room and throughout their walk back, the Angel had been really quiet.

"Come on Luis, you just showed a bully what you're made of, you should be happy not….. whatever you are right now." Ace said as he couldn't exactly tell how he was feeling.

"I'm okay Ace, I just want to return to the room," Luis said, still walking.

"Really?" Ace said.

"Yeah, don't I look okay?" Luis asked, turning to him with a smile.

"Yeah, if you were okay you wouldn't be suggesting for us to return to the room by this time, I am having so much fun." Ace said.

"I just want to check on Dylan…and."

"And what? Sleep or play demon battle?" Ace asked. "Dylan is punishing himself for what he did and I know this may sound harsh but I think he deserves every ounce of what he's going through now."

"I know Ace but I still want to check on him," Luis said, picking up the pace in his steps.

The two entered their room to find Dylan sleeping on his bed and after watching him for a while, Ace turned his gaze to Luis.

"You've checked on him, now can we go check on other things?" Ace asked.

"Okay," Luis said after scanning the entire room with his aura vision.

He had done it when they first entered the room and he did it again just in case.

The two walked back to the long road to see that there were a lot of students lined up just in front of the skyscraper building.

"Looks like another academy just arrived." Ace said.

"Yeah," Luis said.

"Let's go check it out, maybe we could even go inside the building." Ace said.

"I don't think that's a good idea," Luis said.

"Why not?" Ace asked.

"Because they are currently getting assigned to their various rooms, I think it would be better if we go there after they are done with that," Luis said.

"Yeah, you're right, let's go check out the shopping areas then." Ace said but then someone had shown up.

"Hi, Luis," Sonia said, popping up beside the Angel.

"Hey, I didn't see you coming," Luis said.

"Great, another one of your girlfriends." Ace muttered with a sigh.

"That's because I was coming from behind." Sonia said, "I was actually looking for you."

"Why?" Luis asked.

"I love exploring new places and I was wondering if you would do it with me." She said as the excitement in her tone became clearer.

"Sorry to cut your expectations short but that was what we were doing before you showed up." Ace said, feigning a smile.

"Yeah, but don't you think it would be better to do it with a girl?" Sonia said, blinking her eyes twice as she looked at Luis.

'Okay, I do not know what to think of her right now.' Lena said.

"Yeah, you think you being a girl means everybody is just going to run into your arms, that's not how it works sister." Ace said.

"Hey, we can all explore the place together, it's no big deal," Luis said.

Ace was about to say something before someone had suddenly shown up in front of them, someone they both recognized from tomorrow but he wasn't alone this time as his best friend Jonah was with him.

"Well, how lucky am I to run into one of the few people I was expecting to see just now," Jaren said with a wry smile on his face.

"What do you want?" Luis asked, already aware of where this could lead.

[ Mind read activated ]

[ Mind read blocked ]

He tried to read his mind to be a step ahead in whatever he was trying to do but it seemed like Jaren's mind wasn't that easy to get through and the same could be said for his friend who Luis also wasn't able to get any information from.

"Nothing really, I just wanted to know why a first-year student would show up to save a second-year student?" Jaren asked.

"He's my friend," Luis said.

"Oh, I didn't know Fred had friends in the first-year class," Jaren said.

"Well, now you know," Luis said as he tried to walk past him but he had immediately blocked his path.

"You can't go yet unless…."

"Unless what?" Luis asked.

He was starting to get annoyed by what Jaren was doing here.

Sonia had kept her mouth shut since the two second-year students had arrived because she knew best to keep them that way. She was really surprised by the way Luis was talking to Jaren.

"Unless you have a friendly spar with me," Jaren said.

"A friendly spar?" Luis said.

"Yeah, just you and me on that free spot over there," Jaren said, pointing at a spot surrounded by flowers just a little distance away from the road.

"And why does a second-year student want to spar with a first-year student, I thought you were supposed to be looking for more worthy opponents?" Luis said.

'I smell something fishy.' Lena said.

"Yeah but you are worthy to a certain level in my books and if you do it, you can continue your tour with your friends without any bothering from me," Jaren said with a smirk on his face.

"You don't have to do it, Luis, we can just go back to the room and rest or play demon battle instead." Ace said.

He knew Luis would be able to beat Jaren if he used his abilities but given the fact that he wasn't going to use them, the chance of him getting beaten up was a little high given the fact wasn't just any second-year student, he was one of the strongest.

"I'll do it," Luis said, ignoring what Ace had just said.

"Good choice," Jaren said with the smirk on his face still there.

The only reason Luis had agreed was that this would get him the exp to finally level up and it would also be nice to fight someone like him to see how he had improved from his last fight with Michael.

They had arrived at the spot which was really quiet and void of people, what a place Jaren had picked here.

"Like I said, it's just a friendly spar," Jaren said as he walked to stand opposite.

'Even I know those words aren't genuine.' Luis thought.

"You don't have to do this Luis," Sonia said as she really wished this wasn't happening.

'I have to.' Luis thought as he turned his gaze to Jaren who had his arms pulled back.

'I was expecting that.' Luis thought as a smile made its way to his face.
