After Chloe left Tania with Luis to go see her dad, she didn't leave his side for once and the two ended up spending the whole evening together, and now that everywhere was almost dark, they had to part ways and head back to their rooms, but it didn't look like she wanted to head back to her room yet.
"Hey, Tania, I think it's time we headed back to our dorm rooms." The Angel said as they both made their way down the road leading to the guest dorm rooms.
"Yeah, we're heading that way, but."
She suddenly paused and looked to the side to see a bench sitting there.
"My legs are tired, can I sit there and rest for a while?" She asked.
"Of course, I don't think you need to ask for my permission." He said.
"Okay." She said before she slowly made her way to the bench and sat down on it while Luis just stood there and looked around for a while before finally returning his gaze to her.
"Aren't you going to take a seat?" She asked as she raised both of her hands to stretch them.
"No, I'm not tired from walking." He replied.
"I know, but it's just that it's weird the way you're just standing there looking at me." She said.
'She's right, you should take a seat.' Lena said.
"Fine, I'll sit." The Angel said before he slowly stepped closer to the bench and sat down on it.
A warm smile appeared on Tania's face as soon as he sat down on the bench beside her.
The two stayed there for a while without saying a word until she decided to make a request.
"Umm….I don't know, but can I rest my head on your shoulder, just for a while?" She asked.
'I would say yes If I were you.'
"Okay," Luis replied with a little nod.
"Thank you." She smiled before slowly placing her head on his shoulder.
Luis had managed to cheer her up a little after telling her that her parents were still alive and unharmed.
That cheered her up a bit and was enough to make her get up, but looking at her face, you could tell that that feeling of worry wasn't completely gone and she was still thinking about it.
"I know you said you saw my parents and they are both okay but for how long?" She muttered.
"Huh?"
"I mean, they are still over there, and that means he can decide to end them whenever he chooses to." She said.
"Hey, don't say that, that's not going to happen." The Angel said.
"I know you're just trying to make me feel better, but that doesn't excuse the fact that it is the most rational possibility if they stay over there for too long. I mean, he murdered a man in front of everyone and threw him into a pool of some strange liquid to create that portal." She expressed with the expression of pain on her face getting stronger.
'She's not exactly wrong.'
"I know, but that won't happen, nothing is going to happen to your parents," Luis said.
"You say that, but you still haven't agreed to go over there and try to do something about it." She said,
"To be honest, I want to, but one of the reasons I can't go is because I just can't disappear while the tournament is still going, the officials are going to get suspicious." He replied.
"Yeah, you're right, but who's going to do it then?"
"My martial arts teacher, who is an expert on technology, weapons, and a lot of other things is going to take care of it, so don't worry." He assured her.
"And you're sure he can do it?"
"Well, he's just human but he is way stronger than me at the moment plus he has a lot of things in his arsenal to deal with almost every situation he finds himself in." He explained.
"He sounds like a very reliable person." She said.
"He is a very reliable person." The Angel said.
He didn't want to tell her that her brother was going with Michael because he didn't want to give her another thing to worry about.
"Please stay safe Father and Mother." She muttered in a low voice.
There was a little moment of silence between the two before she said something else.
"I didn't see Jude today, maybe he was at the stadium but because I had my head out the whole time I wasn't able to see him, I hope I'll see him tomorrow." She muttered.
Luis didn't say anything to that and she proceeded to say something else.
"You know, I think your wings are beautiful and I would love to see them again, I still can't believe that Angels actually exist and you're one of them." She muttered before slowly closing her eyes.
'George is still running around trying to kill me and now there's a portal here in this world, I just hope no demon shows up in the midst of all this.'

"Hmph."

The next day came by pretty quickly, and this was finally the day that the main event of the tournament, the moment almost everyone had been waiting for.
Today was the day that the fighting competition was going to kick off with the first round.
It was the main event so it was going to last for three rounds, the first round was going to be today, the second round on Thursday, and the final round on Friday.
Luis was the first to get up as always, and as soon as he got up, he turned his gaze to the wall clock to see that the time was just 5:50 AM.
"I hope everything goes well with them."
Michael along with Jude and Tauriel left the academy just thirty minutes to eight that morning to head over to Eukerion, the only place where they knew the portal to the other world existed.
The trip there could have taken longer, but with the help of his newly updated teleporters, they were able to get there faster.
His very compact teleporters weren't still able to instantly teleport people between continents, the only teleporter that could do that was the one he took from the demons and since it wasn't portable, he wasn't able to bring it with him.
What he did was implement a new method to make his teleporters able to move between farther distances and what gave him that idea? Phone calls.
He knew that phone calls were transmitted through radio waves and in order to make it possible for a phone call from someone in Crockel to reach someone in Phoenix, several radio wave transmitting stations were mounted all over the world with smaller versions of those transmitters scattered across the world to make getting radio transmissions from one point to another easier and that was what made phone calls and internet connection easy and accessible all over the world.
This teleporter still had A.I integrated into it for the mind description of certain places that weren't on its map yet, but the radio wave was going to make it easier and faster to get to those places without necessarily thinking about it because every radio wave transmitter nearby was going to be spotted by the teleporter and with just a click of a button, he was going to get there.
Michael only had a teleporter like this at the moment, but it was enough to move the three of them between radio wave transmitters until they finally got to the spot where the portal opens every morning by 8:00 AM.
"In my world, something like this would be classified under high-class magic," Jude said as soon as they popped up in the area.
"Yeah, but it's not that," Michael said before raising his gaze to look at the sky. "So, where does the portal pop up every morning?"
"Right there," Jude said as he pointed him to the spot where the portal pops up.
Tauriel wasn't really paying attention to what they were saying as she was busy looking at the dark portal in the sky a little distance away from them.
"Okay," Michael said before he dipped his hand into his pocket and brought out two tiny disc-like objects.
"Are you sure about this, Tauriel?" Jude turned to the She-elf to ask, causing her to turn her gaze away from the dark portal.
"You already asked me that question last night and my stand hasn't changed." She replied.
"That means that no one has second thoughts, cool then," Michael said before placing the disc-like objects on their clothes.
"What are these?" Tauriel asked with a confused expression on her face.
"Don't worry, you'll find out soon." He said with his gaze on the particular spot where Jude told him that the portal was going to pop up. "Anytime now."
It didn't take long before the portal popped up and as soon as that happened, Michael brought out a small orb from his pocket and threw it toward it.
"Here we go."
"Huh?"
As soon as he said those words, the three of them appeared beside the orb mid-air, right beside the portal and before they could start falling, Michael activated the anti-gravity effects of his boots and dragged them into the portal along with him.
"What was that?" Jude asked as soon as they dropped on the floor at their destination. His heart was racing.
"I said it was a surprise, so TADA," Michael said before getting up from the floor.
"The sky is even darker now," Tauriel said with her gaze on the sky.
"That's not the sky, Tauriel, the portal is spreading further," Jude said.
There was no kidding about that, the sky was pitch dark now just like the portal, and that bloody sky was no longer even there.
"Weird things are about to start happening," Michael muttered.
