Luis didn't have a scratch on him after having the whole counter and all the stuff on top of it collapse on him but the same couldn't be said of his attacker who he had just sent flying with a powerful kick.
Most of the students in the cafeteria didn't expect the attacker to get up after he was sent flying like that, but they were completely wrong.
The student slowly got up from the rubble of the table, summoned his spear, and quickly sent it flying toward Luis.
With his increased stats, Luis felt really different, he felt faster and stronger.
Normally he would have just avoided the spear but this time he caught it instead, just before it could hit him.
"What do you want?" Luis asked as fighting amid all these students wasn't exactly how he planned his night.
"Don't act like you don't know me, you are going to pay for what you did!" The boy yelled as he quickly formed another spear out of earth while slowly approaching the Angel.
"Do you know that guy?" Chloe asked, turning her gaze to Ace.
Most of the students were obstructing their views of what was happening now but they didn't need their eyes to hear that yell.
"No." Ace said getting up from where he was sitting while looking in that direction.
"But has Luis ever told about someone like this?" Chloe asked.
"No." Ace said, shaking his head.
"You guys have to do something or he's going to get hurt," Tania said, turning her gaze to Ace and Chloe with panic written all over her face. "He doesn't have an ability."
"Did you see how that guy flew out?" Chloe asked. "Luis can clearly hold his ground or else he would have been out after getting pushed into that counter."
She was finding the whole thing to be quite interesting instead of entering a state of panic like Tania.
"Don't tell me you don't know what I'm talking about, I saw you that day." The attacker said with a rage-filled voice as he quickly sent six earth blades flying toward the Angel.
'What the heck is this guy talking about?' Luis thought as he quickly equipped his flaming sword and used it to block the blades.
He blocked five of the blades as one flew just right past him.
"What the heck is going on here?" The man in charge of serving at that counter inquired after returning from his bathroom break.
It didn't take him long to realize what was going on as the earth blade which had flown past Luis hit him on his shoulder, deeply piercing it and causing him to crash to the floor.
"Someone just stop this before it goes too far." A girl complained but it didn't look like any of the students there wanted to do that.
There were students who would have stopped this as soon as it started but it just happened that those people weren't in the cafeteria now.
Luis and the attacker clashed in the middle with their weapons and with his newfound strength, he was able to overpower him before snapping his spear into two.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"I told you he could handle himself," Chloe said, turning to Tania. They were standing among the other students now.
"Why are you attacking me?" Luis asked as he had a strong grip on both of his hands now to prevent him from attacking him.
"Let go of me, you evil demon!" The boy yelled trying to pull himself free from the Angel's grip but that wasn't working in any way.
"Evil demon?"
There were murmurs and mumblings among the students now who were wondering why this boy was calling the person he was attacking a demon.
'Demon?' Luis was quite surprised to have someone call him a demon.
That wasn't right at all and he had to do something to make sure things didn't get out of hand here.
"Why is he calling Luis a demon?" Chloe asked with a confused expression on her face.
"I don't know but that's funny, how can you call someone the opposite of what he is?" Ace said with a little chuckle.
"Huh?" Chloe said with a confused expression on her face.
"Ummm…. nothing." Ace said quickly, shutting his mouth before he said something he wasn't supposed to say.
[ Mind read activated ]
With his mind read, Luis could hear everything the boy was thinking about and it was quite baffling that none of them had anything to do with him.
'He thinks I'm a demon that killed his parents?' Luis thought as things weren't really making sense to him.
'Maybe he's under some kind of mind control, try using your compel.' Lena suggested.
[ Compel activated ]
"I'm not a demon, I'm not the one you're looking for, I'm not the one that murdered your parents," Luis whispered to him. "Please stop attacking me."
After saying that his eyes had taken a white glow which had quickly faded away.
The student was quiet now and wasn't struggling anymore as Luis slowly let go of him.
"You think you can deceive me with just mere words?" The boy said as soon as Luis had let go of him.
He quickly formed two earth blades in his hands and stabbed them into the Angel's legs.
[ -5 HP ]
Luis was quite surprised by how less painful that had felt as he quickly sent a punch down the boy's face to immediately knock him out.
[ +20 HP ]
'That little?'
He slowly bent down to pull the earth blades off his legs, the blades didn't go in that deep so he wasn't really bleeding.
He slowly raised his gaze to see that all the students who had just witnessed the fight were looking at him strangely.
He didn't try to get up as he didn't want to create the impression that a stab in both of his legs didn't hurt him.
"Again, I told you he could hold his ground," Chloe said, turning to Tania. "But I'm quite surprised by how well he did it."
Tania was too stunned to speak as she expected things to turn out quite differently and also because she had something else going on in her mind.
"That was a completely one-sided fight."
"Yeah, and he didn't even use any ability."
"Raymond!" A girl came running to the student who was lying unconscious on the floor now.
"You didn't have to do that." She said, turning her gaze to Luis.
"He was trying to kill me," Luis said.
"Yeah didn't you see that, he was the one that attacked first." A student standing by the side said.
"I think we should get in there." Ace said quickly heading to the area.
"He stabbed him in both of his legs and you're complaining that he knocked him out." Another student said,
"Yeah, but am I the only one who heard him call him a demon?" Another student said pointing at Luis.
"Yeah, I heard it too."
"Hey, hey, hey my friend is not a demon, this guy here was just delusional. I'm sure he has never seen Luis before." Ace said as soon as he had stepped into the area.
"Then why did he attack him?" The girl kneeling over Raymond quickly turned to Ace to ask.
"You should ask your friend over there that question, when he's awake I mean." Ace said.
The girl didn't reply as she stared at Ace for a while, and bit her lips before turning back to Raymond.
Luis was quiet in his squatting position all this while, holding his legs and acting as if he was in some kind of pain.
The blades had only pierced his leg a little and after he had removed them, the little wounds had closed up, that was something none of the students in the area should see, or else they would be freaked out.
"Hey, man are you okay?" Ace asked, turning his gaze to Luis.
"Yeah," Luis said with a little nod.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGeorge had been watching the fight from the side and he was quite disappointed that nothing serious had happened to Luis during the fight.
"That's sad, but I'll do a better job." He said before slowly sitting back in his seat.
There were still murmurs among the students and most of them were coming from those who were either asking Luis personal questions, mainly his name, and those who were talking about him being a demon.
"That's enough!!" A loud voice was heard from the entrance to the cafeteria.
All the students turned their gaze there to see a female dressed in a military black uniform.
Most of the students there didn't know who she was but the students from Phoenix academy knew her very well.
"Lieutenant Iris." A student muttered.
The whole place had suddenly gone silent as the Lieutenant slowly walked to the area of attention.
"You, follow me." She said looking at Luis. "Both of you, carry him and follow me." She said pointing at Ace and some other boy before turning to leave.

Nicole and Nova were having a little friendly chat in their living room when Nicole's phone which she had dropped on top of the table began to vibrate.
"Hello." She said after picking up the phone and placing it against her ear.
The smile on her face had immediately faded away as soon as the person on the other end began to speak and by the time the call was over, the expression on her face had completely turned sour.
"What happened?" Nova asked from the couch on the other side.
"One of our students got in a fight," Nicole said.
"Is that why your face is like that?" Nova said with a little chuckle.
"No, I'm just worried that the person might have done something he isn't supposed to do," Nicole said.
"Who is that?" Nova asked.
"Luis."
"Luis?" Nova said as that wasn't the name she was expecting to hear.
