The Great Demon System-Novel

Chapter 308: Good Old Roof

"Uh-uh-uh… Excuse me… angel?" She whispered back, her face turning beat red as she slowly put her hands up to cover her cheeks.

"Yeah, you heard right… For real... Are you an angel?" Moby asked once more, dead serious.

"This is all so sudden… I-I didn't know you saw me in such a way…"

That was when Moby looked down and noticed her expression, realizing truly what he just said.

"No, no, no! It's not like that! It's just that your spirit mode reminded me of an angel. Do you know if your spirit mode is somehow related to them?" His face turned red out of embarrassment.

"Oh no… I'm so sorry, It's my fault for misunderstanding ummmm… So… Are you trying to ask what spirit is my spirit mode?" She waved her hands slightly before looking away from shame.

"Yes…" He whispered back, looking at the teacher who was readying himself to speak.

"Well… What the military told me was that my spirit mode was a pegasus… I definitely could see how it would look like an angel…"

"Oh… That makes more sense now… Thanks for telling me," He breathed a sigh of relief.

"No problem… That fight you did was really cool… You could have ended it far faster but I appreciate putting on a show. It was fun!"

"No problem," He slightly chuckled. "We can talk later, the professor is about to speak." He continued, making Hikari nod back to his words.

"Well, that's it! Took long enough! Now, I have a general idea about all of your power-levels but I still have no idea where your combat knowledge, techniques, and strategies lie. But, I will save that for another time! For now, let's review the basics! But first! All of you! 1000 laps around the arena now!"

"YES SIR!"

"Damn… That was quite a workout…" Moby mumbled in a faint breath, stretching out his stiff limbs as he walked out of the school, Hikari by his side. "So, what do you plan on doing at lunch?"

"I don't know… I'll just go wherever you're going…" She nervously responded.

That was an answer that Moby did not want to hear. He wanted some alone time where he could explore the city and the school looking for some sort of breach where he could make contact with earth. Having Hikari around him would be somewhat of a hassle he did not want to bother with for now.

That was when his saving grace came at a time he did not expect, roaring behind him like a crazy lion.

"KANNNEEE!!! Come back here you coward! Let's go asking teachers to spectate our match and face me!!"

"He he, I'm so sorry Hikari, this guy can't get off my back." He spoke as quickly as he could, sweat running down his face.

"Do you want me to beat him up so we can spend time?"

"Oh no! That will be okay! We can hang out later! Are you good with going back to your dorm?"

"Yes, I'll probably be heading there since I don't feel comfortable outside alone…"

"Okay! Sounds great!"

"I'm so sorry! Got to go! BYE!" Like a flash, he disappeared from his spot.

"Okay bye!" She slowly waved with a sad expression, only for another flash and gust of wind to pass her by, this time being a glowing orange.

"KKKAAAAANNNEEE YOU PUSSSYYY!!"

'Avilia… Do you think I lost him?'

'Yeah… You should be fine."

'Good,' *Pant* *Pant*

Like a bunch of madmen playing cat and mouse, they ran around the entire rather empty school. And, only after manipulating the walls when there were no cameras to phase through did he finally manage to getaway.

Yet, all of that time was not spent in vain. Moby managed to check damn near every area of the school for a possible connection and did not manage to find a single one. Now, he was sat near the only place he had yet to check… The school roof.

He might as well enter it. It was a new place and a fast getaway by simply jumping off the roof to the bottom. If the roof had no connection then he would have to resort to slogging through the entire massive city below, which gave him a headache just thinking about.

With a deep breath, he closed his eyes and opened the unlocked door to the school roof.

For a tower, the top was far different than he expected, far flatter. A good 125 meters squared of a flat area overlooking the edges of the school. The door behind him was underneath a small block of the building that eventually protruded up into a large pointy antenna.

When he looked up, the forcefield surrounding the school was so close that he felt like he was able to reach out and touch it but that was far from the truth. Still, it did not take away from the force field's beauty that was even better up close than faraway. It was truly a masterful piece of work.

However, despite his sense of wonder, he could not shave off his duty to first check if he could get a signal since he was so close to the forcefield.

'Hmmm? … HMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!??'

There was a hint, the first hint of hope in a very long time. He tried to contact them but it still did not work, yet he felt like he was making good progress. It was possible! Just a little bit more effort and he would be able to breakthrough.

A smile grew on his face as he prepared himself to use all his mental fortitude… That was when he heard a sound… And the creaking of the metallic, roof doors began to slowly open.

His first instinct told him that it was Rigrit who had once again found him.

Yet, to his surprise… It was someone else…

"Hello, Kane… He he he he he Remember me?? He he he he he... You ruined everything… Everything... I'll kill you… I'll fucking kill you even if it's the last thing I ever do…"
