My Angel system

Ciara was in her training spot again, trying to get multiple shots on a particular branch at the same time.

Two arrows were able to hit the target but the last one just flew past it.

She had the hood covering her face to prevent anyone who may stumble into the place from seeing her.

She shot another set of three arrows towards the branch only to get the same result as the last one.

She fitted another set of three arrows pointed it up and was about to shoot when she sensed someone slowly approaching her from behind.

She quickly turned with her bow and arrow, ready to shoot whoever it was that was sneaking up on her.

"Hey, it's me," Luis said, quickly raising his hands.

Ciara let out a sigh of relief as she slowly brought down her bow and arrow and pull down her hood.

"Why are you sneaking up on me?" She asked.

"I wasn't sneaking up on you," Luis said, taking a few steps closer to her.

"Walking quietly towards me like that from behind, that's what's called sneaking people," Ciara said.

"Oh, sorry but I didn't mean to scare you," Luis said, stopping in front of her.

"It's okay," Ciara said, turning to her target.

There was a little moment of silence between the two as Ciara aimed her arrows at the branch and sent them flying towards it, this time getting only one of her arrows to hit it.

"I thought you would take a break after putting up a nice performance," Luis said.

"Nice performance," Ciara said with a chuckle. "That wasn't a nice performance to me, I could have done better."

"Really? You wanted to be among the best two." Luis said.

"Yeah, who doesn't want to represent their academy on the big stage?" Ciara said turning to face Luis.

"You're still a first-year student Ciara, they have a better experience, you just have to be glad that you're among the backups, you even beat a second-year student to it," Luis said.

Ciara didn't say anything as she kept her gaze on the Angel who had no idea that she was no longer interested in what he was saying.

"How did you know I was here?" She asked.

"Umm… I went to the class and saw that the hoodie was missing." Luis said.

"So you wanted to borrow the hoodie?" Ciara said.

"Yeah," Luis said with a nod.

"And what didn't want to use it for?" Ciara asked. "Give it to your friend so that he can avoid some bullies."

'I smell suspicion.' Lena said.

'I've got this.' Luis replied.

[ Mind read activated ]

On activating his mind read, Luis was shocked and at the same time amused by what Ciara thought he was really using the hoodie to do.

"No, not really, I sometimes go into the forest not this one the other one at the other side and that hoodie is my disguise to avoid the guards," Luis said.

"What do you go there to do?" Ciara asked not exactly buying what he was trying to sell to her.

"Train, it's the only place I can train without any interruptions," Luis said.

"So you basically use it for the same thing as me," Ciara said.

"Yeah," Luis said with a nod.

"Ok," Ciara said, giving him a weird look. "Well, you can do your training here now."

She turned back to the tall trees in front of her, pulled out another set of three arrows, and fitted them into her bow.

She shot at one of the thin branches high above again only to get only two of her arrows on target as the last one flew past the branch.

"Do you make those arrows by yourself?" Luis asked.

Ciara was surprised as she turned to see that he was still standing in the same spot before she turned to take her shots.

"I thought you wanted to train," Ciara said.

"No, not here," Luis said.

"Okay, just stand there then," Ciara said, turning back to her target.

She pulled out her last arrows and fitted them into her bow.

She aimed at her target and briefly closed her eyes before sending the arrows flying towards the branch.

She was really looking forward to a first-time success but that was very unlikely as she had gotten her frequent result again.

"Arrrrrrrr."

She had been trying to keep her frustration in and after failing for the last time to achieve her goal, she had to let it out a little.

"Great, out of arrows." She said with a dejected voice as she turned to Luis.

"So, are you taking that hoodie with you to the tournament tomorrow?" Luis asked as that was where his interest seemed to be the most.

"Yeah, I am going to need it to avoid some people," Ciara said.

"Why?" Luis asked.

"I don't want to talk about it," Ciara said.

"Okay," Luis said, although he had already found out the reason.

'That's privacy intrusion.' Lena said.

'I didn't know it was still activated.'

"I should start heading back to my dorm room now," Ciara said walking past him but she didn't go far before she stopped walking and turned to Luis again.

"Can I ask you something?"

"Sure, what?" Luis said.

"Do you have a girlfriend?" She asked looking at him with a straight face.

Luis wasn't expecting that question but he answered it as fast as he could.

"No," Luis replied.

"Really? What about that girl you're always with, Ella?" Ciara asked.

"No, she's just a friend," Luis said.

"Just a friend?" Ciara said.

"Yeah, a really good friend," Luis said.

"Well, it's good to know," Ciara said with a smile as she turned and continued her walk out of the area.

'What's that supposed to mean?' Luis thought.

'I really didn't expect you to be dense to this extent.' Lena said.

Kelvin was standing near his desk in his office while tapping his pen on the desk and checking his watch.

A few minutes later the door had been pushed open as a bald man entered, a bald man who happened to be Blip.

"I heard you wanted to see me, sir." Blip said on getting closer to Kelvin.

"Yeah, take a seat," Kelvin said, pointing at the seat there.

Blip was a little hesitant as he sat down on the seat while keeping his gaze on Kelvin who was still standing.

"Let's just cut to the chase, Blip," Kelvin said walking to his side of the desk but he still remained standing.

"I don't understand." Blip said.

His voice was a little shaky as he had gotten the idea of what this was all about.

"What happened to the sixty-five complaints that you never sent to us?" Kelvin asked keeping his gaze on him.

"I made sure to send everything single complaint to you." Blip said trying to keep his voice in check.

'If they don't have any evidence against me, they can't really do anything to me.' He thought.

"Oh really," Kelvin said with a smirk on his face as he walked to the cupboard just close to his office desk.

He opened it and brought out a small yellow bucket which he carried back to Blip.

"Do you mind explaining this then?" Kelvin said as he poured the contents of the bucket onto the table.

The contents appeared to be small pieces of folded paper.

Blip quickly grabbed one of the folded pieces of paper and after reading its content, a horrid look appeared on his face.

"How did you get these?" He asked looking up at Kelvin.

Kelvin slammed both of his fists into his desk to startle the bald man before leaning closer to him.

"I think you should stop asking questions and start explaining."
