Chapter 338 Here For The Staff

"We were really lucky he had followed us and I was glad he turned out to be a good man," Tania said to conclude what she was saying.

"We were both lucky to meet good men," Luis said.

"Yeah, things could have turned out really bad for the both of you if you had fallen into wrong hands." Ace said.

Silvia couldn't believe everything she had heard so far, it all sounded so strange to her but she knew it was the truth because these people wouldn't just gather here just to make things up.

"And all these while I thought you were Tammy's cousin," Silvia said, turning her gaze to Luis.

She always knew there was something off about him and after what she just found out now coupled with what Ella told her about the wolves, she knew she was right.

"Yeah and it has to stay that way please, no one has to find out about this," Luis said.

"Wait, you told everyone you knew that you're Tammy Phillips' cousin?" Chloe said.

"Yeah," Luis said.

"Does she know?"

"Of course she knows," Luis said.

There were a few seconds of silence before Chloe decided to say something.

"It's nice how Crockel started accommodating students, they are more like an academy now and I thought they were never going to stop with the whole level uniform thing," Chloe said.

"Well, the whole demon attack and school getting burnt down pushed all of that." Ace said.

"Wait, your academy was attacked by demons?" Tania said with a perplexed look on her face.

"Yeah, some months back." Ace said.

"Were you already here when it happened?" Tania asked, turning her gaze to Luis.

"Yeah," Luis said with a nod.

"Did anybody get killed?" Tania asked.

"Luckily for everyone, it happened after hours so nobody got hurt," Ella said.

"I heard Greg Phillips fought a Master Demon that eventually got angry and set the place ablaze and that's how the whole place got burnt down." Ace said. "Were you there Luis?"

"No." The Angel said, shaking his head.

That was the best answer he could give given the fact that Greg had already cleared his name from the whole thing.

"You guys were very lucky but that can never happen at Eukerion academy," Chloe said. "No demon can enter the area undetected."

"Tron Ville academy has just arrived." A female voice resounded in the cafeteria through the speakers.

"Tron Ville, I should probably go see my cousin," Chloe said, getting up from where she was sitting.

"You have a cousin at Tron Ville?" Ace said.

"Yeah," Chloe replied. "Are you coming, Tania?"

"No, I want to talk about some other things with Luis," Tania said, turning her gaze to Luis.

"Okay, I'll see you back at the dorm room then," Chloe said, turning to leave.

"I'll go with you." Ace said quickly getting up before Chloe walked past him.

"Huh?" Chloe said, turning to him with a confused expression on her face.

"I'll follow you to go see your cousin." Ace said.

"Did I ask you to?"

"Well, I thought you needed someone to go accompany you to go see your cousin." Ace said.

Chloe didn't reply immediately as she stared directly at him with those intimidating eyes of hers.

"I know what you're trying to do Ace." She said moving closer to him.

"You do?" Ace said, trying to keep a straight face.

"Yeah," Chloe said with a nod. "But sure you can follow me to go see my cousin."

She slowly turned away from him and began to walk towards the exit.

"Cold." Ace said slowly following her.

"I think we should go too," Ella said, getting up from where she was sitting.

"Hey, Ella, I want to talk to you about something," Luis said.

"Yeah but I guess that will be later," Ella said slowly, turning her gaze to Tania.

"Yeah what's your room number, you never told me?" Luis asked.

"That's because we haven't talked since we arrived here," Ella said with a little tone of annoyance in her voice. "It's thirteen by the way."

"Okay," Luis said.

"Let's go, Silvia," Ella said, walking towards the exit as Silvia followed her.

'Your feelings are becoming clearer Ella.' Jasmine said.

"I heard she's your best friend," Tania said after Ella and Silvia were gone.

"Yeah, she's a good friend, my first friend here since the Phillips are more like family to me." He said.

"Yeah, I can tell she's a really nice person," Tania said, smiling at him.

"Yeah," Luis said with a smile.

"You know it's nice to see you smile, you hardly smiled back at Asaka." She said,

"Because there was never really something to smile about," Luis said.

"Really? What about someone?" Tania asked.

"Ummm… I'm going to go get some snacks for myself." Luis said getting up from where he was sitting. "Do you need anything?"

"No, I'm okay," Tania said.

"Okay." The Angel said quickly making his way to the snack counter in the cafeteria.

Getting a snack was only a distraction as he needed to check something in his system, something he had not been able to check for quite a while now.

'Okay, that's not so bad.' He thought. 'But a skill point would have been useful so that I can finally unlock telepathy.'

"Hey, can I help you with anything?" The lady behind the counter asked as Luis had been standing there for quite a while now without asking for anything.

"Yeah, I Ummm…."

"All students report to the stadium immediately!" A male voice resounded in the cafeteria through the speakers. "All students report to the stadium immediately!"

"Never mind." The Angel said, turning back to see that Tania had gotten up from where she was sitting now.

'I wonder what this is going to be about.'

Both Festus and Carl were sweating heavily as they were led into their cage and pushed into it.

"This is just the beginning." The guard said before locking them up behind bars and leaving with the key.

"Are you going to consider getting us out of here now?" Carl asked, breathing heavily. "I may last for some days but I know you won't last another day of doing that."

"You are not the one to dictate what I can or cannot do, young one," Festus said.

Jude was surprised by how his breathing was more controlled and calm compared to his.

"I know, you know a lot of things that I don't, techniques bla bla bla but you are going to break down very soon if you continue doing this no matter how much knowledge you claim to have unless you have some kind of spell keeping you active," Carl said.

"I wasn't with my staff," Festus said.

"Most wizards don't need their staffs or wands to get their spell working," Carl said.

"Well I'm not most wizards am I?"

Carl wanted to say something but he had stopped as he heard footsteps approaching their cell.

He thought it was a guard until the person had walked into their view and turned out to be the king.

"If you're here to ask me where Jude is, you already know what the answer is," Carl said, turning away from him.

"Yeah and that's why I'm not here for that," Roy said.

"Huh?" Carl said quickly, turning his gaze to him.

"I'm here for that." He said pointing at Festus' staff which was standing beside him.
