Chapter 205 The Competition Begins
Luis was heading back to his dorm room now as he wondered what the loyalty points he was gaining were for.
There was nothing to describe anything about the points and when he tried asking his system, he didn't get any response.
'Do you know what the loyalty points are for?' He asked Lena.
'I have no idea.'
The Angel let out a sigh as he decided to keep anything concerning the loyalty points at the back of his mind, for now, it's not like it was going to be any use for him currently.
He walked to the door and opened it to see that Ace was on his bed reading as usual while Dylan was nowhere to be found.
"Oh, hi Luis." Ace said. "Where's Dylan?"
"He's not back yet?"
"Yeah wasn't he supposed to be with you?" Ace asked.
"Class ended about an hour ago and I decided to go check something out. I thought he would be back by now." Luis said.
"Well, he's not." Ace said sitting up on his bed.
Luis looked towards the door and was about to pull the knob when the door was suddenly pushed open.
"Dylan," Luis said.
"Oh, hi guys," Dylan said as he went straight to his bed and laid down.
The Angel had been avoiding using his mind read on his roommate for quite a while now because he believed that thoughts were supposed to be heard by others except if it was necessary and right now he believed it was quite necessary.
[ Mind read activated ]
'Why does there have to be something like the weak and the strong? Can't everyone just be equal?' That was the first thing he had heard Dylan say in his mind.
'I'm just going to clear my mind now and have a nap, after all, it's the only way I can escape thinking about the harsh realities of life.'
The thoughts only led Luis to one conclusion and that was that Dylan was getting bullied by someone.
He wanted to tell Ace what he had found out but decided to do a little investigation on his own before involving any other person.
'But who could be bullying him?' Luis thought as he lay on his bed, he had a suspect but he couldn't be exactly sure given that he was also a first-year student.

Silvia and Ella were currently in their room having a nice chat, well it wasn't exactly a chat as Silvia was the only one speaking.
She was telling Ella about her hometown which Ella was surprised to know was in a remote part of Tron Ville.
Ajax was also in their midst and seemed to be enjoying herself in the arms of the wonder warrior who was gently stroking him.
The wolf seemed to enjoy the company of humans more than his own family, a good proof of that was following Ella back to the academy and refusing to return.
"So you started training at what age now?" Ella asked.
"I started training with my father's soldiers when I was three," Silvia said.
"Ok, but they didn't exactly treat you like one of them," Ella said.
"Huh?"
"You weren't treated badly for not following due procedures, that's what I mean," Ella said.
"They wouldn't dare," Silvia said, waving her head.
There was a short period of silence between them before Ella decided to ask her one more question.
"The blue explosion thing you did today." She said,
"Yes," Silvia replied.
"Is it some sort of special move for wonder warriors?" Ella asked.
Silvia stopped stroking Ajax as she raised both of her hands to look at them.
"All I knew was that we could produce electricity by rubbing our hands together, I don't know how I did that today and I have never seen anyone use it before," Silvia said.
"So it is some sort of special move that you didn't know you could do," Ella said.
"Maybe," Silvia replied, getting up from her bed.
She dropped Ajax on her bed and walked to the door.
"Where are you going?" Ella asked as she grabbed Ajax who had come to her now.
"We are out of that potato snack," Silvia said.
"You mean potato chips?"
"Yes," Silvia replied. "I'm going to buy more." She said before leaving and closing the door.

The sun rose over Crockel academy marking the beginning of a new day but just any new day this was the day the school competition would begin to prepare the students for the inter-academy tournament.
A lot of students were quite excited about it as it was their opportunity to show what they could do here in the school and get a chance to show it to a lot of people at the tournament.
"All students report to your classrooms in the next thirty minutes and wait for your teachers." A voice spoke through the speakers fixed on most parts of the academy and inside every dorm room in the academy.
The person speaking through the speakers had to repeat himself three more times just to make sure that everyone got the message.
"We do that every day, you don't have to tell us." Ace complained as he covered his ears with his pillow.
The three roommates got ready together and headed for the cafeteria where Luis activated his mind read to try and get more information from Dylan but unfortunately he wasn't being exactly clear about anything in his thoughts.
They finished their breakfast and headed to their classroom.
Murmurs and whispers filled the class to create quite a noise as the students were sharing their thoughts on the competition which was beginning today.
Luis ignored every gathering and walked to his seat but he wasn't the only one staying on his own as his demon friend was sitting behind him.
"So how is this competition done?" Orah asked.
"I don't know, I haven't participated in one before," Luis said, staring at the blackboard.
It didn't take long before Miss Nicole appeared in her usual black suit and skirt.
"Ok, is everyone here?" She asked quickly, doing a headcount. "Alright everyone follow me."
Everyone waited for her to walk out through the back door before they followed her.
As they walked down the road Luis could remember it quite well from his first day here.
They soon appeared before a large gate which was opened a few seconds after Nicole had stopped in front of it.
The noise being made inside could be heard by the students as they made their way into the place where they had taken their level test, the large area that had an arena under it.
They weren't the only ones there as there were numerous other students in groups but it looked like the groups were also separated into three other groups.
The first years near the entrance, the second years opposite them, and the third years by the side.
The first thing Luis had done was take a nice view of everything and in doing so he had spotted something he didn't see on his first day here.
Some kind of glass container was lifted with three long pillars made of earth and inside the glass container were three specially designed chairs.
'I wonder what those are for.' The Angel thought.
His thoughts were immediately interrupted as a large pillar of earth rose from the arena away from the other pillars and standing on the pillar was the same woman who had conducted their level test.
"Welcome everyone to the academy's annual competition."
