My Angelic System

Kye's friends knew that he was right, but they also knew that he needed to rest. They exchanged worried glances, unsure of how to convince Kye to take a break.

"Kye, you're not going to be much help if you're too exhausted to think straight," Enzo said, his voice gentle but firm. "You need to rest and regain your strength before you can do anything."

Kye hesitated, his determination warring with his fatigue. He knew Enzo was right, but he didn't want to let his friends down or risk anyone getting hurt while he rested.

"I'll be okay," Kye insisted, trying to get up from the bed. But his friends gently pushed him back down, refusing to let him go.

"No, Kye, you won't be okay," Ven said, his voice equally gentle but just as firm. "You've done so much already. You need to take care of yourself now."

Sylvia nodded in agreement, adding her own voice to the chorus. "We'll help you, Kye. We'll figure this out together. But you need to rest first."

Kye hesitated for a moment longer, but the weight of his exhaustion finally caught up with him. He sank back onto the bed, his eyes closing as he gave in to sleep.

His friends watched over him, grateful that they had managed to convince him to rest. They knew that there was still much to be done, but they also knew that they couldn't do it without Kye's help. And they were determined to do whatever it took to make sure that he was ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.

For the next few hours, Kye slept soundly while his friends kept watch over him. They discussed the situation, trying to come up with a plan for how to investigate the strange symbols and the monsters' sudden increase in strength.

As they talked, they realized that they needed more information. They needed to know where the symbols came from, what they meant, and how they were related to the monsters' behavior.

"We need to find someone who knows more about these symbols," Sylvia said, breaking the silence that had fallen over the group. "Someone who can tell us what they mean and where they came from."

"But who?" Lidi asked, her voice filled with frustration. "We don't know anyone who would have that kind of knowledge."

Enzo thought for a moment before speaking up. "What about Professor Tarica? She might not be an expert in such topics, but she is by far the most resourceful teacher that I saw so far." In fact, they didn't know her much. She came out of nowhere but looked like she was always here to help. And she seemed to have great insight as well, so it was maybe not a really bad idea.

The others nodded in agreement, realizing that Enzo might be right. They decided to seek out professor Tarica and see if she could shed some light on the situation. Kye has woken up as well, so after briefing him on the situation a little, they all went out of the room.

As they left the room, they saw that the situation outside had calmed down somewhat. The monsters were no longer going rampant, and the students were huddled together in small groups, talking quietly amongst themselves.

The group quickly tried to find Tarica, but no matter where they searched for her, they couldn't find her.

Kye decided to ask the students for her whereabouts as they might know something, but he didn't expect their reactions.

"Look it's him." The students started exclaiming with bright faces.

"Wow, he's so handsome."

"I'm so grateful, Kye, you saved my life earlier." Someone took Kye's hand between his and thanked him.

"I-it's okay." Kye could only smile before his friends came to rescue him.

"Everyone listen up, it's important." Sylvia attracted their attention as they all fell silent. "We are searching for professor Tarica's whereabout. Do you guys know something?"

The students exchanged uncertain glances, unsure of how to respond. After a moment of hesitation, one of them finally spoke up.

"I think I saw her heading towards the old library earlier," the student said, her voice tentative. "But I'm not sure if she's still there."

The group thanked the student and hurried towards the old library, hoping that Tarica was still there. As they entered the library, they noticed that it was eerily quiet. The shelves were lined with ancient books, and the only sounds were the soft shuffling of pages as the group searched for Tarica.

But as they searched, they began to realize that Tarica was nowhere to be found. The group split up, each searching a different section of the library, but all of them came up empty-handed.

"Where could she have gone?" Lidi asked, her voice filled with worry. "She must have left some kind of clue behind, right?"

But no matter how hard they looked, they couldn't find any clues. It was as if Tarica had disappeared into thin air.

As time passed, the group grew increasingly worried. They knew that they needed Tarica's help to solve the mystery of the symbols and the monsters, but without her, they were at a loss.

Kye's fatigue had started to wear off, and he was becoming restless. He felt like he needed to do something, anything, to find Tarica and get to the bottom of the situation.

"We can't just give up," Kye said, his voice filled with determination. "We have to keep looking. There must be some clue that we missed."

His friends nodded in agreement, knowing that they couldn't give up now. They resumed their search, scouring the library once again for any sign of Tarica.

But as the hours ticked by, their search became increasingly desperate. They were running out of ideas, and Kye could feel his hope beginning to fade.

Just when they were about to give up, they heard a faint noise coming from one of the back rooms of the library. They cautiously made their way toward the noise, their hearts pounding in their chests.

As they entered the room, they came face to face with something unexpected.

***

'Shit, why do they need my supervision now out of nowhere?' Tarica thought as she walked down the beautiful and clean hallway. It was so grand that it looked otherwordly.

But it was a pretty normal sight in heaven.

'I treated everyone in the school and killed all the Zaionistazer, but those symbols meant that the Insect queen was going to act soon. And Kye might be in danger. Yet if I were to stay there, those old angels will know that I went to Earth for a reason.' She thought with a sigh. She might be one of the strongest being in heaven, yet she wouldn't be able to stop the whole council by herself. After all, even she needed to obey a certain set of rules.

Tarica continued to ponder her predicament as she made her way to the meeting room where the council was waiting for her. She couldn't shake the feeling that something was off, that there was some ulterior motive behind their sudden request for her presence.

As she entered the room, she was greeted by a group of stern-looking angels, each one more intimidating than the last. They all seemed to be waiting for her to take a seat at the table, but as soon as she did, one of them spoke up.

"Tarica, we have a problem," the angel began. "There's been a disturbance in one of the lower realms, and we need someone to investigate it. We believe that your unique set of skills makes you the perfect candidate for the job."

Tarica felt a knot form in her stomach. She knew that the lower realms were not to be taken lightly and that any disturbance there could have serious consequences. She also knew that if she accepted this mission, she would be stuck in heaven for a while, unable to return to Earth and help Kye.

But she had no choice. She couldn't refuse the council's request, not without risking her status as one of the most powerful beings in heaven.

"What happened exactly?" Tarica asked, annoyance clearly visible in her voice.

The angel cleared his throat before continuing. "There have been reports of demons and other dark entities causing chaos in the lower realms. We don't know what their end goal is, but we cannot allow this to continue. We need someone to investigate the situation and put a stop to it before it's too late."

Tarica nodded slowly, already thinking of the possible dangers that awaited her. The lower realms were a dangerous place, full of unknown creatures and unpredictable magic. It was not a task to be taken lightly.

"I understand," she said finally, steeling herself for what was to come. "I will accept this mission and do whatever is necessary to ensure the safety of the lower realms." While her lover was the king of hell, it didn't mean that he has control over all demons who were going rampant. And such demons were way too strong for normal angels to fight against them.

As for the unknown creatures, Tarica already got a headache.

The council seemed pleased with her answer, but Tarica couldn't help but feel a twinge of regret. She knew that this mission would keep her away from Kye and her life on Earth for an undetermined amount of time.

'It's as if they called me because they knew I was up to something at Earth. Do they know something? Should I increase the security around Kye? But I can't ask angels to do it.
