Chapter 366 In The VR World With Nova (01)
"So let me get this straight, you have an ability that allows you to see people\'s aura, you tamed two wolves and now you have a healing ability," Ciara said looking at Luis with a stunned look on her face.
She just couldn\'t believe what she was hearing right now, someone who made her believe that he had no ability turned out to have three very strange abilities.
"Yeah," Luis said with an awkward expression on his face.
"I haven\'t heard of this kind of healing ability, the only healing ability I know is that of nurse Serene which enables her to heal people," Pearl said.
"There are a lot of abilities that you don\'t know about yet." Pearl heard Nova\'s voice behind her and turned to see her standing there with the usual cocky look she always had on her face.
"Why didn\'t you tell me about this, I mean why did you decide to keep it a secret?" Ciara said.
"Well, I didn\'t always have these abilities, they just started manifesting after I got here," Luis said, scratching the back of his head.
"But you still don\'t want anybody apart from us who already knows about it now to know about it, right?" Nova said.
"Yeah," Luis said with a little hesitancy.
"You don\'t want anybody to know about them?" Ciara said with a shocked expression on her face.
She knew a couple of students who had no ability and would do anything to get any ability and show their friends and others that they now had an ability but here was Luis saying that he didn\'t want people to know about his abilities.
"Yeah," Luis said with a little nod.
"Hey, Pearl," Tammy called.
"Yeah," Pearl said, turning her gaze to her.
"I think we should start heading back to our dorm room now," Tammy said, pointing back with her thumb.
"What? What about Luis?"
"Don\'t worry, I\'ll make sure he gets to his dorm room without getting attacked by anybody," Nova said.
"I know you can protect him but how are you going to stop them from trying to attack him?" Pearl asked.
"Trust me, no one is going to attack him with me around him," Nova said.
Pearl stared at her as though she was finding it hard to believe her.
"Hey, come on, let\'s go," Tammy said, grabbing her by her arm and pulling her along as they walked out of the area.
"So what other ability enabled you to easily overpower those twins like that? I heard they were one of the strongest students in the academy and nobody comes out of a fight against them unscathed." Ciara said after turning her gaze to Luis.
"He wouldn\'t have come out unscathed if it weren\'t for Pearl, those blades didn\'t look like they were going to kiss him," Nova said.
"Yeah, but they wouldn\'t have used that skill if I hadn\'t made fighting him so hard for them," Ciara said.
"It wasn\'t an ability, Ciara," Luis said.
"Then what was it? You want to tell me that you\'re normally that strong?"
"That is the best explanation," Nova said.
"Then if you\'re this strong, then you could have easily beaten Pearl at the competition," Ciara said.
"No, I wouldn\'t have," Luis said.
"So you\'re trying to tell me that she\'s stronger than two strong twins who stabbed you from the back and almost killed you with a rain of blades," Ciara said.
"Yeah…" Luis said with an awkward expression on his face.
"You were going easy on her, you were basically flirting with her in there, I think you let her win on purpose," Ciara said as the topic seemed to have completely diverted here.
"That\'s not what happened," Luis said, shaking his head.
\'With what just happened with the twins I would think the same but I don\'t get why she\'s making a big deal out of it.\' Lena said.
Nova was just standing by the side listening to the both of them and not wanting to get involved yet but it was as though Ciara had forgotten that she was still there.
"Then what happened? Do you go to her room just like you go to Ella\'s room?" Ciara asked with a sassy voice.
"What?" Luis asked, trying to make sure he heard her right.
Ciara quickly covered her mouth as she didn\'t know when that came out.
"Okay, that\'s enough," Nova said finally speaking. "I think you should go back to your dorm room, get some rest and clear your head. I\'m going to have a little walk with Luis and make sure he gets back to his dorm room."
Ciara didn\'t say anything as she stood there with her hands covering her mouth. Nova turned Luis around and the two began to make their way out of the area.
"I think you may have a girl problem in your hands," Nova said after they had walked a little distance. "But that\'s what I want to talk about."
"Huh?"
"How come you weren\'t able to catch the person with the mind deception this time?" She asked.
"How am I supposed to do that?" Luis asked. "It\'s not like, I can just spot him among the crowd."
"Of course, you can," Nova said. "When anybody human, Angel, or Demon uses an ability, they give off the aura of that ability depending on what level they are using it and the color of that aura is always different from the aura of their body.
"For someone using mind deception, there should have been a trail of aura from the twins leading to the culprit and you should have easily found that with your aura vision, how do you think I found out about your Demi-Angels?"
"Michael\'s told me something similar to this but it just didn\'t come to my mind," Luis said, tapping his head with his fist. "But you could have caught him when you arrived."
"I wanted to stop the twins from attacking first and when he saw that I had caught off his flow, he ran away," Nova said.
"How did you break the twins free from the mind deception without knocking them out? I tried using my mind read on Raymond when he was attacking me but it didn\'t work." Luis said.
"That\'s where you got it wrong," Nova said.
"Huh?"
"You don\'t try to control a mind that\'s already being controlled," Nova said. "What you do is try to make the mind realize that it\'s being deceived and there\'s an ability that completely lets you into one\'s mind."
"Telepathy," Luis said.
"Yeah," Nova said.
\'I have to unlock that ability.\'
"So anytime anyone pops out of nowhere to attack you, I trust that you know what to do to end this madness," Nova said.
"Yeah," Luis said with a nod.
"Good," Nova said.
The two had not said anything for quite a while as they made their way toward the male dormitory area for Crockel academy and just as they were about to enter the area, Luis decided to ask her a question in mind.
"So when are you going to teach me how to infuse my abilities with my wings?" Luis asked.
"It\'s not a question of when, it\'s a question of where," Nova said.
"Huh?"
"There\'s no place that I can show you how to do it here, we need somewhere that has enough space with no one walking around and I don\'t think there\'s anywhere like that around here," Nova said.
"Around here, yeah but I know a place that fits the description you gave," Luis said.
"Okay, you\'re confusing me now," Nova said with a confused expression on her face.
"There\'s this game that Michael created, it\'s like the real world but it isn\'t, everything seems real, you can use your ability, your ability cell points go down as it does in real life and you also feel pain just like you do in the normal world," Luis explained.
"You mean a virtual reality simulation?" Nova said.
"Yeah, the headsets are called Virtual reality headsets," Luis said.
"Okay, and you\'re sure we can use all of our abilities in this virtual reality world?" Nova said.
"Yeah, I can use all three of my abilities plus the one I choose from the game," Luis said.
"Okay, so where are the headsets?" Nova asked as the two had stopped in front of the young Angel\'s dorm room.
"Wait here," Luis said as he quickly rushed inside.
He walked to his bed, lifted his pillow to grab his teleporter, and slid it into his pocket before placing his hands on the bed and letting the VR headset out.
\'What about those two boys?\' Lena asked. \'You know if you use those headsets they are going to find you.\'
\'I know but I wouldn\'t miss this opportunity to learn how to do something cool with my abilities and wings because of that. Let them find me. I\'ll just tell them what I told them in the game and try my best to avoid getting close to them.\'
\'Okay, I would love to see how well that would play out for you.\'
Luis didn\'t reply to her as he rushed outside the door with the headsets, he didn\'t even look toward Dylan\'s bed to realize that he wasn\'t there.
"Here are the headsets," Luis said, showing her the headsets.
"Okay, so where are we going to put those on and fall limp?" She asked, looking around.
"How about your apartment?" Luis asked.
"So we\'re going to start walking back there now," Nova said with a sigh as she turned back to where they had come from.
"We don\'t have to walk," Luis said as he brought out the teleporter from his pocket and began to tune into the closest location to the apartment building.
"That\'s funny Luis but you know what will happen if we both fly there," Nova said, turning back to him.
"I didn\'t say we should do that," Luis said as he quickly grabbed her by her arm and they were both covered by white light.
Luis really wished that the teleporter had taken them straight to the room but still where it had dropped them was close enough compared to walking all the way there from the dormitory area.
"Michael\'s teleporter," Nova said as soon as the two had appeared in front of the apartment building.
"Yeah," Luis said.
They quickly made their way upstairs and into the room which was empty at the moment as Nicole wasn\'t back yet.
"I wonder what she\'s still talking about with that Lieutenant," Nova said, walking to the middle of the couches.
"Here," Luis said as he handed her one headset and sat down on one of the couches.
"Put it on, I\'ll be waiting." He said before putting on his own headset and falling limp on the couch.
Nova looked at him and shook her head before sitting down on the other couch and putting on the headset.
She immediately found herself inside the white space which was the game\'s main menu.
"Okay, I don\'t get how this looks like the normal world." She said looking around the endless white space.
"Hey, Nova over here!"
She quickly turned to see Luis standing a little distance away from her but he was barely recognizable.
"Is that really you?"
