Level five wasn't the last level of the game but it was the level that no one had been able to get past and that was the reason used it to make the deals but today things were going to turn out differently for him.
The level five discs were fast and tricky but Luis had gotten faster in the past couple of days.
His agility was at thirty-six which was enough to be way faster than an average human and given the fact that simple things like moving the parts of his body hardly drained his energy, he was able to keep up the efficiency.
He had his focus on the discs as he kicked and smashed them just before they could get to him.
The students surrounding him were all stunned by how he had been able to keep up till now and his punches and kicks still seemed to carry the same power as they did when he was at level one.
Mason couldn't believe it and now had a horrid look on his face as he knew what was coming.
"They said he's not using any ability." A boy came from behind to whisper to him. "If he did, the device on the floor will light up red."
"He has to be using some kind of trick," Mason said as the last group of discs got shot out from the machine at once and all got kicked back by Luis.
"That was level five, do I come down or do I have to keep going?" Luis asked, turning his gaze to Mason.
Mason didn't say anything as a ding sound came from the machine to signal the beginning of level six.
"Okay," Luis said as he quickly turned his gaze back to the machine.
It quickly shot out two discs at the same time before shooting out the other one just as the first two got closer.
He smashed the first disc with his fist and with a kick smashed the other disc into the third one.
"That was tricky." The Angel said as he dealt with the next set of discs.
"He just cleared the super hard level and is still going at level six." A boy said.
"That's unbelievable."
"And I was told Crockel didn't have many talents."
"Who is that boy?"
Ace was afraid at first when Luis volunteered to play the game but now that he had made it past level five he was calm again and had a satisfied look on his face.
Level six seemed to have been a little too much for Luis but he still managed to get through it.
"That was harder than I expected." He muttered after hitting the last disc back.
'I don't think you'll be making it through the next level.' Lena said.
'That's okay I've already done what I wanted to do.'
Just like Lena had said the ding sound had come from the machine to begin level seven as two discs were shot out at amazing speed.
He was able to hit those ones back with his hands but he wasn't so lucky with the third.
He had gone for a kick but he had mistimed the position of the disc as his leg went over it and the disc flew right past him almost hitting a girl before Ace slowed it down with his wind ability.
As soon as the disc had flown past him, the flat device on the floor turned red as a loud buzzing sound was heard.
"I guess level seven was too much for him."
"Yeah, but making it past levels five and six is really impressive. That's the first time since this game was brought here."
"Hey." Ace said, rushing towards Luis as he got off the spot.
"How did I do?" Luis asked.
"Are you kidding me? You made it past two formidable levels and now you're going to get two gold coins." Ace said with an excited voice.
"Yeah, my gold coins," Luis said, turning his gaze to Mason who had quickly put a calm expression on his face as he was planning on doing something.
"Hey, I made it past level five so that means I won the bet," Luis said after stopping in front of Mason.
The area had gone quiet as everyone was expecting some sort of drama from Mason and they were right about that.
Mason stared at the Angel for a while before he quickly grabbed him by his collar, pulled him closer to the wall, and pinned him on it.
"Listen to me punk, I know what you did and if you don't want to get hurt or anybody finding out about this you better walk away from here and never return until the tournament's done and you leave." He said with a muffled and intimidating voice so that the students in the room wouldn't hear him.
Ace didn't move from where he was standing as he was aware that Luis could handle himself.
'I knew I should have read his mind earlier.' The Angel said in his mind.
'Yeah, you should keep your mind read activated around people like this.' Lena said.
Mason was surprised that Luis didn't look scared and had not said a word for a while now.
"I am going to drop you and when I do, you are going to run out of here and never return," Mason said with his intimidating voice that he thought worked on everyone.
"Is this your big plan?" Luis asked, shaking his head while trying to keep in his laughter.
"Oh, I see you need some beating," Mason said but before he could do anything, Luis had grabbed his hands and twisted them forcing him to let go of his collar.
"Awwww!" Mason yelled as Luis dropped to the floor holding both of his hands.
The students in the area were expecting this kind of drama from Mason but in no way were they expecting this kind of twist.
Ace was really enjoying where this was going and had a smug look on his face as he watched.
"I didn't do anything, I won the deal fair and square and now you're just going to scare me away so you don't get to give me the gold coins." The Angel said, twisting his hands more.
Maybe his voice still sounded calm but he was really angry now after hearing everything Mason had in mind.
"Arghhhh." Mason groaned. "Toby." He called.
Toby was like some sort of henchman to him and he had quickly stepped up to help him until….
"Don't you even dare," Luis said as his eyes took on a little white glow.
[ Compel activated ]
As soon as those words had left his mouth, Toby had stopped moving no matter how hard he tried to.
'Luis, I think you're going a little out of control here.' Lena said.
Luis didn't reply to her as he turned to Mason with his compel still active.
"Now give me my gold coins." He said.
Mason didn't even try to resist as he was under his compulsion now.
He stuck his hand into his pocket, brought out the two gold coins, and handed them to the Angel.
"Good," Luis said with a creepy smile as he let go of him, allowing him to fall to the floor.
After taking his coin, he didn't want to stay in the arcade anymore and made his way straight to the exit as everyone standing in his way cleared the road for him.
Ace quickly went after him after he had walked past him and had finally caught up with him outside.
"Dude, you really showed that bully what you're made of." Ace said with an excited tone.
"Yeah but somebody thinks I overdid it," Luis said with a little hint of annoyance in his voice.
"Yeah, a little but that's okay as long as you gave that guy what he deserved." Ace said. "So where are we going next and we should discuss how we're going to spend those coins?"
"I think we should head back to our room," Luis said, already walking off.
That wasn't the answer and response Ace was looking for and you could tell that by the sudden change in the expression on his face.
"Okay." He said following the Angel.
Back at the arcade, all the students in the disc game area had gone to look for other games to play as Mason sat on the floor thinking of what just happened.
He wasn't the only one though but the only difference was that Toby was speaking out his thoughts.
"It was as if there was some kind of invisible force stopping me from moving and there was a little white glow in his eyes," Toby said.
Mason wasn't exactly paying attention to what he was saying as he had one certain thought in mind.
'Who is that kid?' He thought, rubbing his hands.
