BXBX NOVEL Chapter 233 Testing My Abilities
Ace was in disbelief as he stared at Dylan who had his head bowed now.
He had asked the question and Luis had told him everything that had happened and the reason why their roommate's attitude had changed after he had returned with injuries all over his body.
"How could you Dylan?" Ace said.
Dylan didn't reply to that question as he still had his head bowed.
"I asked you what was wrong like twenty times and you said it was nothing." Ace said, raising his voice a little as he pointed at him.
It may not have been him but the truth was that he was really pissed off by what Dylan had done and there was a chance that it could have been him.
"What if Luis wasn't an Angel?" Ace said. "Then he would have been at the clinic by now heavily battered."
"Don't bother yourself, Ace, his conscience is already asking him those questions," Luis said.
Ace stared at Dylan for a while as there was quite a long moment of silence in the room.
"Get off my bed." Ace said and when Dylan had hesitated to get up, he grabbed him by his arm and yanked him off his bed. "And I don't want to feel my bed shake or else.."
Dylan stared at him for a while before slowly making his way toward the door.
Luis didn't even make eye contact with him as he opened the door and slowly closed it after leaving.
Telling Ace about what Dylan had done had changed his mood to the extent that he had laid down on his bed and turned to the wall.
"We should think of removing him as our roommate." He said.
Luis didn't try to talk to him as he was thinking of what to do now.
He thought of playing demon battle but he still hadn't gotten over his last encounter with Max and Sony.
'Maybe I can go somewhere where I can check out a few things with my ability.' He thought.
'Somewhere like that open land.' Lena said.
'Yeah.'
"I hope you're not going after Dylan after what he did to you." Ace said as soon as he opened the door.
"No, I just want to check something out," Luis said, quickly slamming the door shut.
Luis wasn't exactly truthful when he told Ace that he wasn't going to go after Dylan, he was going after him but just to make sure that he wasn't going back to the warehouse.
He knew the path Dylan had taken thanks to his aura vision and now all he had to do was follow the path and see if he would find him.
He arrived at the park to find Dylan sitting on the bench facing the green pitch but he wasn't alone as two boys were standing over him.
"Hey we're talking to you and you're snubbing us." One of the boys said.
"Don't worry, we don't need him to talk to beat the crap out of him." The other boy said as he raised his hand to smack him but before he could bring it down he lost consciousness.
The other boy quickly turned to find out what had happened to his friend and he quickly received a kick to his face that quickly put him in the same condition as his friend.
"Don't thank me, I didn't do that for you," Luis said as he had already read Dylan's mind and knew what he was about to say. "But my advice to you is to go back to the dorm room."
Dylan turned his gaze to the two boys lying down in front of him as soon as Luis had left, despite Luis' advice he couldn't bring himself to return to the dorm room at least not now.
Luis had walked a little distance down the lonely road before he had taken out the teleporter he had in his pocket and was covered by white light.
The white light had appeared in front of the last line of trees before someone would have to enter the open.
"It's good it brought me near the trees," Luis said as soon as the white light had cleared up.
He walked in between two trees and placed his hand on their stems.

'I think that will be enough for now.' Luis thought as he took in the view of the open dry land.

'I expected to get lower than that.' Luis said after he had checked the exp message from knocking out those two boys.

A crazy idea had popped into his head as he looked at the open land.
He zoomed off into the open land running as fast as he could.
He enjoyed the wind blowing against his face as he ran and he didn't seem to be getting tired, he felt like he had unlimited energy and could run forever.
His eventually had to come to an end as he had covered quite a good distance in the open land.
[ 77/100 Energy ]
'All that running and I had only lost three points from energy.' He thought looking back at where he had started his run from.
'You can't compare the energy and stamina of an Angel to that of a human.' Lena said.
'Yeah, I wonder if I would be able to lose energy from runs like this when my stamina gets to fifty.'
Now that he was done satisfying the idea that had popped into his head it was time to start doing what he had really come here for.
He stretched his hand and formed a flow of water but when he tried to turn it into a ball he wasn't able to as the water poured on the floor.
He didn't say or think anything about it as he tried again, this time he was careful as he formed the medium-sized water ball.
With his water control he lifted the water ability above his head, he thought he was finally going to get it but as soon as he brought his hands down to try and create another water ball, the water ball above him returned to normal water, and poured on him.
"Oh come on, she made it look so easy," Luis said as the frustration he was feeling inside was evident in his voice.
'You've only tried twice and you're complaining already.' Lena said. 'Your water ability may be at level five but she has more experience and her water ability may be at a really higher level than yours.'
'You're right but how am I supposed to control a water ball floating above me when I am supposed to create another water ball with my hands?'
'I don't know but she was able to do it and know with time you will be able to do it.' Lena said.
Luis tried again but he still got the same result as the water ball hanging over him had poured on him as soon as he had tried to create another water ball.
He tried and tried but he still got the same result of wetness, you could tell he had tried and failed a lot of times just by how wet his body was.
"Why is it so hard!" Luis yelled in frustration as he slashed his hands to release a large water slash that kept moving until it had evaporated.
'Take it easy, why don't you try out your other abilities and come back to it later, or you could try doing something else with it.' Lena said.
Luis considered her suggestion as he decided to try out something else.
He formed a fireball in his right hand and threw it out but before the fireball could go far he had stopped it with his hands.
He tried to pull the fireball back but it didn't seem to be working as the fireball was still in the same position.
He tried moving it a little to the side or forward but the fireball didn't seem to be budging.
"I have poor control over my abilities," Luis said with a low tone as he brought his hand down allowing the fireball to drop to the floor.
'That's not true, your control over earth is okay.' Lena said.

Tauriel was on book number twelve now as her brother stormed into the cave carrying a large boar over his shoulder.
"You actually caught something big," Tauriel said.
"Yeah," Tuchel said as he dropped the dead boar at the far end of the cave.
"And now you have to think of a way to roast it without calling unnecessary attention to our location," Tauriel said, returning her attention to her book.
"I'll figure it out," Tuchel said sitting down on the mat.
There was a short period of silence between the two, it would have been a longer period of silence if Jude hadn't suddenly rushed into the cave.
"I thought you said visiting us during the daytime was dangerous," Tauriel said.
"Yeah, but I thought you needed to see this now," Jude said, pulling out a book from his bag.
Tania's eyes brightened as she looked at the cover of the book which was a blue triangle with three blue crystals attached to each joint.
