BXBX NOVEL Chapter 185 Drain Tactic
Luis appeared in the white space breathing heavily, he had finally defeated the demon boss but that didn\'t come easy as he had also gotten killed in the process.
[ +350 EXP received ]
[ 1600/4770 EXP ]
For him, it was a two-way victory as he had defeated the demon boss and had gotten a good amount of exp for doing that but still, he wasn\'t exactly satisfied with the way things had ended.
\'If this was the real world then I would be gone with that demon too.\' Luis thought.
\'But that wasn\'t the real world. You still have a long way to go and a lot of room for improvement and this fight is not for you to fight alone.\' Lena said.
\'Yeah, I just hope my improvement will be enough to face the storm.\'
Luis wasn\'t satisfied and still wanted to beat the demon boss in a way he would be comfortable with but he was done playing today and was going to try again next time.
\'After beating this one I\'ll move to six hundred demons.\' He thought as he clicked the exit button.

The next day marked the beginning of a new day for the students and also meant that they were two days away from the school competition and one week away from the tournament.
Luis was the first to get up even though he was the last to go to bed, sleep just wasn\'t relevant to him anymore but he still slept though, out of his own will
The Angel sprang up from his bed and quickly got ready for school, it was still quite early as many students were still asleep now, but he didn\'t care as he needed to do something.
"Where are you going?" Ace asked with a yawn as soon as Luis stopped in front of the door.
"I just want to train a little in the woods before heading to class," Luis said.
"Ok," Ace said as he fell back on his bed, he didn\'t need to be suspicious of him again as he had already found out what he had been hiding from them.
Luis headed to the second-year B dormitory section where his Demi-Angels were already waiting for him; he didn\'t get close to the dormitory though as he called them to follow him from a distance away.
The Demi-Angels followed him to the woods behind the first-year B girls\' dormitory which had become their training spot since the first time he brought them there, but it wasn\'t exactly the same spot.
"Okay, Johnny how well are you doing with controlling your powers?" Luis asked immediately after they had come to a spot where no one would be able to spot them.
"I\'ve been trying it on my pillow recently and I think I\'m beginning to get a hang of it," Johnny said. "Can I show you?"
"Ok," Luis said.
Johnny scanned the area with his eyes until he had found a dead tree which was perfect for his experiment.
He walked to the tree and slowly began to place his hands as the ball of blue lights appeared in his hands.
"I discovered during my practice that the blast doesn\'t have to be shot from range." He said as he placed his hands on the tree.
Luis expected him to shrink the tree but instead, he had made the tree go way beyond the other trees in the forest.
"You\'re going to draw attention here Johnny," Luis said.
"Sorry," Johnny said as he quickly returned the tree to its true size. "I still haven\'t gotten a hang of it yet."
"What about you?" Luis asked, turning to Fred.
"I could control my ability well even before you took it away from me and returned it," Fred said.
"Yeah I know, what I wanted to ask is if you\'ve noticed any improvement in your ability lately."
"Improvement?" Fred said, turning away from him. "I could say I noticed an improvement in how long I could use it before my water points got exhausted."
Luis had erased the rule that had prevented them from using their abilities, he had done it because of Fred who had gotten his ability back but he still warned Johnny to avoid using his ability in the presence of other people as it would be suspicious to see him use a different ability from the one he had when he was a human.
The improvement Fred had talked about in how long his water ability lasted now, was because of Luis improving one of his abilities recently.
"Ok, I think we should start heading back to class," Luis said walking ahead of both of them.
"Luis wait," Johnny said.
"Yes," Luis said slowly turning. "Why are you keeping this a secret?"
"What?"
"You\'re a powerful Angel with three elemental abilities, people with this amount of power aren\'t supposed to keep themselves a secret."
"You may think that way Johnny but I don\'t think I\'m that strong yet," Luis said walking away from the woods.

Today at Eukerion academy every student was at their different combat classes as normal classes for the whole week had been canceled to focus on the upcoming tournament.
Inside the N.A.U combat class, two students were in the space provided for sparring, everyone already knew who the winner would be as the student matched up with Todd wasn\'t that much of a good fighter.
And just like everyone predicted it didn\'t take long before Todd knocked him out.
"As expected Todd proceeds to the next round." Madam Nelly said.
Todd walked back to his spot as his eyes darted towards Tania who seemed to have her eyes closed like she was meditating.
The class competition continued as Madam Nelly kept calling out names and telling the winner of the fight that he or she gets to proceed to the next stage.
"Alright, the next round will be between Tania Blackstone and Craig Phil."
Tania slowly stepped up immediately after she had heard her name but she wasn\'t the first to step up though as her opponent was already there waiting for her.
She turned towards Todd who gave her a thumbs up.
"Your girlfriend is about to lose and it\'s only the first round." Natasha sneaked up behind him to see.
"Stop bothering me, Natasha, she\'s not my girlfriend at least not yet," Todd said.
Now that the two had their faces close to each other the little similarities in it could be printed out although it wasn\'t much as Natasha always had a fierce look on her face. Still, her face wasn\'t naturally fierce.
"But she\'s still going to lose," Natasha said.
"Why don\'t we watch and see for ourselves," Todd said, turning back to the fight.
Craig was the first to charge in at Tania with a flying kick which the Asakan countered with a kick of her own but it wasn\'t flying as she was still on the same spot.
The boy pulled back his legs and went for another kick which Tania easily avoided by ducking and allowing the leg to fly over her.
"You should have grabbed that leg Tania but you\'re still doing great though," Todd muttered to himself.
"What?" Natasha asked.
Todd turned to her with a confused stare and then turned back to the fight.
Craig was doing everything in his power to try and hit Tania but the Asakan seemed to be getting the best of him as she kept blocking and parrying away his kicks and punches as she kept moving back.
"Is that all you got?" Tania asked after she had parried away both of his punches.
Craig was breathing heavily but he didn\'t seem to be done yet.
"No, I have a lot more to give." He said as Tania responded with a quite cheeky smile.
Craig went in with a barrage of attacks, kicks, and punches all which Tania avoided without breaking a sweat.
Now what Tania was trying to do was becoming clear to Todd who didn\'t quite get her tactic of defending without attacking.
"She\'s trying to drain him and he\'s foolishly falling for it," Todd muttered to himself.
Craig went in for another punch but this time there was less power in it and that was the right call for Tania as she quickly grabbed his hands, gave him a knee kick down his face, and then shoved him to the sides.
"I don\'t think he\'s getting up." One of the students said.
The winner was already clear as madam Nelly stepped up to the center.
"Tania Blackstone will proceed to the next round." She said. "Nice tactic dear."
"Thanks," Tania replied with a smile.
"I told you should wil win," Todd said with quite a cheerful voice as she turned to where he had seen Natasha last but she was no longer there.
