My Angel system

The reason why Bryan had been able to track down the two Asakans and save them at that right time was because of the many detectors placed all over the town. Magic detector, teleporter detector, and demon detector.

On arrival of the two both the magic and the teleporter detector had been triggered, Bryan could have sent out some of his boys to check it out but he decided to check it out on his own because he believed that whatever that came through a magic teleporter could be dangerous and was just going to monitor it for now.

He didn't expect the people that came through the teleporter to be a middle-aged man and a teenage girl who looked harmless.

After Leo had narrated how they arrived here he suggested that Tania be put in the academy while the middle-aged man stayed with him in order to help him figure out a way back for them.

"So what are you saying?" Bryan asked. "Not like you have much of a choice anyway."

"What do you mean?" Tania asked.

"If the government finds out a teenager like you is here and not yet in the academy, they'll send soldiers to come here and take you."

"I thought you said almost every child is there?"

"Yes, but that almost is about only five percent, which are the children of the wealthy and affluent who somehow control the military from behind the scenes.

"Their children are allowed to be trained at home rather than going to the academy with the other kids."

Tania had already made up her mind before asking her questions, she just wanted to know why going to the academy was compulsory.

"Who is going to pay the fees?" Leo asked.

"Ah, don't worry about that, the government takes care of everything, if you look at it from another point of view they are the ones that really need your help.

"They need your help to prevent all their years of hoarded wealth from getting burnt to ash."

There was detestation in Bryan's voice as he spoke which made the two Asakans start thinking of how the government here could be worse than the one they had at home.

"I'll go," Tania said.

"Ok, I'll take you there tomorrow," Bryan said. "You should go to bed now because tomorrow is going to be a very long day for you and me."

"Ok," Tania said, adjusting herself on the couch.

"Come on silly, you are not sleeping there," Bryan said, gesturing to her to get up.

Tania followed him as he took her to the first room by the right on entering the little hallway.

On opening the room Tania could see that it was very dusty and dirty with cardboard boxes stacked on the bed.

"Don't worry about that, we are cleaning it up now," Bryan said.

Tania wanted to ask how he was going to clean up something like this now but before she could say a word the boxes were already floating off the bed and arranging themselves by the side.

A wastebasket came sliding into the room as all the pieces of rubbish on the floor were flying into it.

With all the dirt gone the basket slid out of the room.

Tania thought she had seen it all when a bucket of water came sliding into the room, a piece of cloth sprung up from the bucket and began to wipe every dusty surface apart from the floor.

With that done the bucket slid out and in came another bucket of water but this time a mop was inside, on reaching the middle of the room the mop sprang up and began to clean the floor, with the bucket following it for a dip now and then.

The floor was sparkling clean now as the bucket along with the mop slid out, next the sheets on the bed floated up and threw themselves into the laundry basket as new pink sheets came flying from outside and on reaching the bed dressed it better than a person would do with his hands.

The cupboard, the mirror, and the wardrobe everything was now in place and all Bryan had done for everything to happen was place both of his hands on his head with both of his eyes.

Bryan quickly shot his eyes open and gasped for breath immediately after everything was done.

"Magic," Tania said.

She had her mouth wide open throughout everything and could speak now that it was over.

"It's not magic, that's my ability," Bryan said and went to sit on the bed.

"Ability?" Tania said sitting beside him.

"Yes, it's a gift that was given to many of us by an Angel."

Tania nodded to his explanation, it all seemed believable since she had just seen him do what she would have called impossible before her eyes, if the floating blades weren't convincing enough this was.

"What's your ability called?"

"Telekinesis," Bryan said. "It's one of the underrated abilities but I had to work hard to prove that the ability didn't make me weak in any way."

"Then which abilities are overrated?" Tania asked.

"Mostly elemental abilities like fire, water, ice, and the rest of them."

While Bryan was talking, Tania's attention had been caught by something else as she reached out and grabbed the picture on the small table in front of them.

The picture was one of a younger Bryan with a little girl riding on his back.

"Your daughter's cute." She said looking at the picture.

"Yeah, she was."

"Where is she, I haven't seen her since arriving here?" Tania asked, looking around the room.

"She's…." Bryan sighed as he was finding it hard to pronounce the last word. "Dead."

Tania's face immediately went from smiling to concerned.

"Oh, what happened?" She asked.

"I can't really explain, but I blame myself, I blame myself for allowing her to die like that."

Tania noticed that Bryan's voice was shaking as he said those words, he was trying really hard not to let his emotions out.

"She was just twelve and had to pass through a cruel state," Bryan said, biting his lips. "How old are you Tania?"

"Nineteen." The teenager replied.

"If she was here maybe you guys would have bonded." He said, forcing a smile through the grief he was feeling now.

"How did she die?" Tania asked.

Bryan bit his lips as he stared at the picture in Tania's hand with lots of memories flooding through his mind.

"She was burnt. Burnt by those damned demons!" He smashed his head on the table dividing into two in the process.

"Demons." Tania gasped.
