BXBX NOVEL Chapter 23 Getting Stronger
Crockel military academy got burnt down by the master demon Raph and everyone was informed that it was going to take about a month till a new one was built.
Crockel was very necessary for every child residing in Crockel city, every child was sent there to improve the chances of the human race against the demons.
Well, every child except for those who didn\'t have any fighting spirit or didn\'t have any special ability or couldn\'t get stronger, but there were still strong people who didn\'t have special abilities.
The students of Crockel academy all had one month off to stay at home and do whatever they want until the building was completed.
Luis decided to use this time to train and get stronger and his trainer was none other than Tammy herself.
When Luis got home after waking up, he was surprised to enter his room and find Tammy sitting on his bed.
"I hope you didn\'t come to place daggers on my throat," Luis said, slowly closing the door behind him.
"No, I came to ask questions." She replied.
"Questions?" Luis scratched his head acting confused." Do I know anything?"
"I should be the one asking that question." Tammy said." Like how did you know my dad was in that building when even I couldn\'t sense him."
"Errrrr…" Luis was lost for words here.
"And how were you even able to tell their exact location in that darkness with all the noise." Tammy continued, it was clear she never expected Luis to be able to do such a thing, he clearly didn\'t have an ability.
Luis saw no reason to hide how he had been able to do these things and went on to explain his aura vision to Tammy, but he didn\'t tell her about the system though.
"So you can see any life force in form of an energy."
"Yes."
"Maybe." Luis shrugged.
"But how?"
"What do you mean?"
"Where did you get your ability, you are not under any crystal, or are you?"
She was giving Luis the suspicious look now.
"If you are talking about the crystal Zillah gave to the humans, I\'m sure I\'ve never heard of that at my home," Luis said to clear her suspicion.
"If you don\'t have any idea of the crystals then how did you get a special ability like that?"
"I\'m not sure it\'s an ability, it\'s more like a skill."
"Skill." She chuckled. "That\'s clearly an ability."
"Maybe one of the lost crystals granted you an ability when you came to this world."
"They have lost crystals?"
Tammy nodded in response.
When Zillah was about to leave earth, he gave the humans present the crystals that would grant their future generation powers that would help them fight off Lucifer, whenever he returns, these crystals weren\'t exactly the same and varied in strength and quality, some of the crystals could only grant one specific ability and so the family that gets that crystal ends up getting one particular ability.
There was also the one that could grant one ability but it was randomly given to the family members, so they didn\'t have to end up with the same ability as the first option but still they were able to get only one ability.
The third type of crystal was the type which Tammy\'s family, the Phillips had, it would grant all the members one particular ability and then give them another one randomly.
Then there was the crystal that could grant three different abilities, but it was very rare and had only been seen in a particular group of people, people still believe that there are other crystals that are stronger and if they should find them it would be their trump card in the war against the demons.
After Tammy\'s explanation Luis\' had no choice but to believe in the theory that a lost crystal had granted him the aura vision even though he was pretty sure that this wasn\'t the case.
Tammy was done with Luis and was about to leave when Luis called her.
"What?"
"Can you keep this a secret, please?"
"I don\'t know why you want to keep such nice powers a secret, but you did save my father\'s life, it\'s the least I can do for you."
"I also saved your life." Luis blurted out, but Tammy ignored him and made to pull the door.
"One more thing."
"What?"
"You are still going to train me right?"
"Yes, meet me at my training ground after breakfast tomorrow," Tammy said and quickly slammed the door shut to avoid any more questions or favors.
Luis let out a big sigh.
There was a reason why he had told Tammy to keep his aura vision a secret and that was because when Tammy started talking about abilities, he started thinking about him having abilities and that\'s when a message appeared.
[ Available abilities ]
[ Water 0/10 ability points ]
[ Earth 0/10 ability points ]
[ Fire 0/10 ability points ]
[ Total ability points: 0 ]
He could get all these abilities at once, then he was right about aura vision just being a skill, but something bothered him about these abilities and that was how to get ability points. He didn\'t have any clue about how to get the points but maybe he\'ll soon find out.
Luis had gotten the news about the one-month break due to the unexpected burning of the school and was glad because that would give him more training time with Tammy.
He hadn\'t even spent a full day at school and it had already been burnt down, somehow Luis felt like all of this was his fault because he was clearly the one Raph was after and that occasion had led to the burning of the school.
Luis continued his training with Tammy and was learning how to use the sword which was also part of Tammy\'s soul weapon, it was just a normal long sword with a black hilt and red ring.
During the first days of training, Luis was a little sloppy and didn\'t even know how to strike properly with the sword, but Tammy slowly explained the techniques and every other thing to him. Once in a while, they would have a little sparring match which Tammy would win easily, but as days went on the matches started to last a little longer but Tammy would still win.
Luis had been doing his daily tasks and had managed to get to level four, here\'s what his status currently looked like
[ Name: Luis Miles ]
[ Race: Human ]
[ 11/11 HP ]
[ 60/400 EXP ]
[ Level: 04 ]
[ Physical status ]
[ Strength: 8 ]
[ Stamina: 7 ]
[ Agility: 5 ]
[ Special Abilities: None ]
When Luis would always spar with Tammy, he noticed that she had one advantage over him and that was speed, this was the reason why he had added both his stat points from leveling up to stamina. With his upgraded stamina, he was able to make the fights last a little longer but still, that wasn\'t enough to beat her.
"How\'s Luis doing?" Greg asked Tammy as they all sat down for Lunch.
"He\'s improving." She answered.
Greg looked at Luis and smiled, Luis returned the smile but in his mind, he thought contrary to what Tammy had just said, to him he was just improving his fighting skills but he wasn\'t getting any stronger.
Luis continued eating his food slowly while thinking of a way to get stronger and that\'s when a thought suddenly hit him. He quickly gulped down his food and walked out of the dining room.
Sarah gave Tammy and Greg a confused stare because of what just happened, Tammy shrugged and continued eating and so did Greg.
Luis was heading to the open forest, the open forest which you would have to pass before getting to the Phillips\' house, he remembered seeing demons here on his first day and that was just what he was looking for.
He was confident that with his little upgrade in strength and stamina coupled with Tammy\'s training, he would be able to take out these experimented demons, he knew that killing any of these demons granted 100 exp and that was why he was here for the exp, he needed to get strong and he needed to do so fast.
While approaching the forest, Luis was thinking of a plan to lure the demons out but he wouldn\'t have to because immediately he got close, he activated his aura vision and a smile made its way to his face.
About ten demons were heading for him.
