Chapter 406 Who Are You?
The cafeteria was meant for the guests which consisted mainly of parents so there were a lot of other families having their lunch there asides from the Phillips.
"So, how\'s everything going here? How\'re you coping with living in the academy?" Sarah raised her gaze to ask.
"Everything\'s going fine, living in the academy isn\'t that bad," Tammy said.
"We all know you can handle yourself, Tammy, I was talking to Luis," Sarah said.
"Oh," Tammy said before turning her gaze back to her food.
"So, Luis, how\'s everything going?"
"Everything\'s fine, living in the academy isn\'t that bad." The Angel said before putting a piece of steak in his mouth.
"That\'s good, Tammy\'s been taking good care of you right?"
Luis didn\'t reply immediately as he slowly turned his gaze to Tammy and gazed at her for a while before turning his gaze back to his food.
"Yeah, I guess so." He said.
"I know I wasn\'t able to teach you how to summon a soul weapon but at least I showed you the process, you should have been able to summon it if you have been trying it," Greg said. "Have you created one?"
\'I can\'t tell him that I can\'t summon a soul weapon because he may see me equip the flaming sword any time soon and every human is supposed to know how to summon a soul weapon.\' The Angel thought.
\'But still, he may find out that the sword isn\'t a soul weapon.\' Lena said.
\'That\'s possible but the flaming sword doesn\'t have any features that could give it away as a soul weapon.\'
"Luis," Greg called. A couple of seconds had passed since he asked that question and there had been no response from Luis.
"Um….yeah, I figured it out later." He said.
"That\'s great," Greg said with a smile on his face. "What type of weapon did you create?"
"Well, the only weapon I can use comfortably is the sword so it had to be a sword."
"Okay, can I see it?"
"Yeah," Luis said with a nod.

As soon as the message popped up on his screen, the sword appeared in his hand.
\'Be careful not to activate it.\' Lena said.
\'I know that.\'
"That\'s a nice soul weapon," Greg said before stretching his hand toward him. "Let me feel it."
\'This was exactly what I was avoiding.\'
"Sure." The Angel said before handing him the sword.
"It certainly feels more solid than Tammy\'s first soul weapon," Greg said after running his fingers down the sword\'s blade.
\'Because it\'s not a soul weapon.\' Tammy thought.
"Here," Greg said before handing the sword back to the Angel who quickly returned it to his inventory as soon as he got hold of it.
"Um….Luis." Greg said before getting up from his seat.
"Huh?" Luis said before turning his gaze to him.
"Have a walk with me."
Luis didn\'t reply to him immediately and just stared at him for a while before he eventually replied with a nod.
"Alright, let\'s go then." He said before making his way toward the exit.
Dave waited for him to walk past him before he slowly got up from his seat and followed him.
\'Something doesn\'t seem right.\' Tammy said subconsciously as he kept his gaze on the two until they left the room.

There weren\'t enough buildings in the academy to accommodate all the guests that had come for the tournament but the academy reserved a place outside the academy grounds to accommodate all the special guests including the soldiers.
The skyscraper was very tall so there was no doubt that it would be able to accommodate all the people it was meant to accommodate.
Some of the guests had to share rooms with people they were familiar with and that was the case with Bryan and his group, Jude had to share a room with Tuchel while Layla had to share a room with Tauriel and Bryan was the only one who got to have a room to himself.
The room was already cleaned up so they didn\'t have much work to do.
In the women\'s room, Layla was standing in front of the window with her arms crossed while Tauriel sat on the bed with an expressionless look on her face.
"This tournament is never going to get old for me." The lieutenant said before taking in a deep breath.
She turned her gaze to Tauriel to catch her looking at her and as soon as their gaze met, the elf slowly turned her gaze away.
"Hey," Layla said before he made his way to her and sat down beside her. "I couldn\'t help but notice that you\'ve been acting like something\'s been bothering you recently. What is it?"
"Nothing\'s bothering me," Tauriel said, shaking her head.
"That\'s what you say but that\'s what I\'m seeing," Layla said.
"Seriously, I\'m okay, I\'m just not as vibrant as my brother." The she-elf said.
Layla was about to continue arguing with her when a bright flash of white light appeared near the window area and when it cleared up, Michael could be seen standing there.
"Hey, ladies." He said with a smile on his face.
"Michael," Layla grumbled with a furious look on her face.
"Did I do anything wrong?" Michael said with a confused expression on his face.
"Is that supposed to be a question?" She said before she quickly got up from the bed and made her way to him. "Don\'t you know that you\'re not supposed to enter a lady\'s room unannounced?"
"Oh, I\'m sorry about that." He said before scratching the back of his head with a nervous smile on his face.
Normally, just an apology wouldn\'t be enough to calm her down and stop her from doing but in this case, she just let out a grumble before putting her hands down.
"I don\'t know why I just can\'t stay angry at you." She said,
"Maybe it\'s because I\'m the most loving, kind hearted, and righteous person you\'ve ever seen." The CEO said.
"Loving, yeah, kind-hearted, close but don\'t you ever say that you are righteous."
"Well, no one is exactly righteous." He said before turning his gaze to Tauriel. "Who\'s the pretty sergeant?"
"Um…That\'s Tauriel."
"Tauriel huh, I never knew you would agree to share a room with a sergeant." He said.
"Well, Tauriel isn\'t exactly a sergeant."
"Huh?"
"Remember the two elves I told you about, the ones I told you arrived here with Tania\'s brother."
"Yeah," Michael said with a nod.
"Well, she\'s one of them."
"Really?" He said before turning his gaze back to her. "So, they are as pretty as the movies make them look."

"I heard you\'ve beefed with a lot of students at the academy, especially students from higher classes," Greg said as he walked down the road with Luis.
"You heard?"
"Yeah and I also know that you getting stabbed in the shoulder is as a result of one of those beefs, you have a lot of guts, Luis."
"I just don\'t like being treated like a nobody." The Angel said.
"That\'s good, you have to always stand up for yourself, I guess no one needs to educate you on that but it\'s a little suspicious that you\'re just a level three first-year student with no ability and you were able to do the things you\'ve done."
"How do you?"
"Tammy told me that you\'ve beaten up a couple of second years once and they all had abilities," Greg said.
"But they lack any fighting skill and I\'m in the only martial arts class in the academy."
Greg didn\'t say anything after he said that and just stared at him for a while before stretching his hands toward him as the two had come to a halt in the middle of the road.
"Let me see that soul weapon of yours again."

\'Damn, I knew it was going to be hard to penetrate his mind.\'
\'I don\'t like where this is going?\' Lena said.
[ Flaming sword equipped ]
The sword appeared in his hand as Greg slowly took it from him.
"You should be honest with the people who see you as family, Luis." He said as he looked around to make sure that there were no students close by and when he was sure that there was no student close by, he pressed his hand against the hilt of the sword and the blades quickly lit up.
"How did you know?"
"The intermediary flaming sword, I used to own one of these, only five of them were ever made."
"You used to own one of them?" Dave said with a surprised look on his face.
"Yeah," Greg said before raising the sword to point it at him. "Now tell me, who are you?"
