Chapter 33 - Chapter 33

Lillian didn't bother him again, which Lucifer was grateful for. 'To be honest, I thought she would be a pain in the neck. It's a good thing she's being civilized about this,' he thought.

When he returns home, he changes and goes to the training room to test Phoenix's enhanced ability. If he remembers correctly, an enhanced ability is an expansion of the ability one already has.

So it's either he would be able to create mystical weapons, or he would be able to create anything in general, which is what he is hoping for.

First, he decided to test if he had the power of creation in general. The first thing he thought of creating was a holopad, he needs about four, for assignments and tests.

He thinks of creating the device, but to no avail, he couldn't make the device. That's unfortunate, so this means he got the other one. How disappointing?

'So what mystical weapon do I create now?' he thought. 'Zeus' thunderbolt? Poseidon's trident? No, I'm not ready to end the world yet.'

He sat down to think of what weapon he should use. He's seen so many of them in use and have felt their power.

When he had finally decided what mystical weapon he wanted to create, he stood up excitedly. He creates it and begins to grin.

He created a large sword, with a dark aura emitting from it. "Dark Excalibur," he said.

The Excalibur is a very powerful weapon created by fairies, it is filled with light which weakens him. The last time he heard about it, it was stuck in a rock, and it could only be pulled out by the one true king.

What a waste of precious effort from the fairies.

"Hey, room, start the obstacle course," he said, spinning the sword around. The dark aura moved around like flames on a sword.

The A.I. controlling the room responded:  "Starting obstacle course in three... two... one."

A loud alarm blared and the obstacle course began.

It first started slowly with a few dodging and dummies to attack before progressively becoming faster.

Augustus returned to his dorm exhaustedly. Today was exhausting, they did several drills today alongside the normal class activities.

The pressure he had felt yesterday was powerful. However, no one was affected by it than Xavier. He was incredibly pale by the time the pressure had stopped, even though he said he was fine, he didn't seem to be fine this morning. Not physically, but mentally.

Maybe he should call Lucifer to know if he too might be affected by the pressure, and if he knows where it came from.

He would do that once he's done having a shower. He's too sweaty.

Once he was done, he wrapped a towel around his waist and used another towel to dry his hair.

He hears his holopad vibrating on his bed, and he picks it up with a frown. His eyes widen when he sees the notification.

"Record broken?" he said in surprise. His obstacle course record has been broken? And the speed is still increasing.

His record was about five hundred and fifty miles per hour, which was incredibly fast for his age.

He opens the security footage of the training room to see Lucifer dodging and attacking at high speeds.

'He's gotten stronger,' he thought. 'Could he have been the cause of that pressure last night.'

The weapon he is using looks like a sword surrounded by black flames. He's entering seven hundred miles per hour, getting close to the speed of sound.

The obstacle course didn't stop, it just continued to increase. It is a computer, it wouldn't stop unless he wanted it to stop. It just kept on increasing.

Augustus hears a knock on his door. "Come in," he said, his eyes not leaving the screen.

Xavier comes in. "Augustus, we need to talk," he said seriously.

Augustus was sitting on his bed, looking at his holopad. "Aiden, how strong was Lucifer before you killed him?" he asked, calling Xavier by the name of his past life.

Aiden frowns. "I don't know," he said. "But what I have to tell you is important."

"What is it?" Augustus asked dropping his holopad.

"Stop," Lucifer said to the A.I. of the room when he felt like he'd done enough training, he tossed the sword in the air and gently tapped it, and the sword disappeared. 'Next time, I'll try this with my fist,' he thought leaving the training room.

He goes to his room to have a long relaxing bath, and after that, he's going to figure out how to do all of his assignments.

He strips and enters the bathroom, a bright light appears and three people stand before him.

The A-siblings. Athena, Apollo, and Artemis. Zeus' favorite children.

Athena was wearing her signature manly armor underneath a long dress, and wearing a helmet on her head. She has curly black hair, with grey eyes, standing before him at about five foot seven.

Artemis was wearing a short white dress reaching the middle of her thigh with a pair of leather sandals, she was holding a bow. She has curly white hair with grey eyes and like her sister she stands at five foot seven.

And finally Apollo, Lucifer's least favorite among the three. He wore a tunic and a skirt, and around his waist was a belt. He has blonde hair, with bright blue eyes. He stood at around five foot ten, and his appearance was the definition of the perfect male.

"You are sweaty and naked," Athena said in disgust while looking at him.

"Thanks for the compliment Athena," Lucifer simply sassily. He walks past them, they aren't here to fight him, if they were, they would have done so already.

"We are not here to fight," Athena said, as he went to grab a towel, which was behind to cover his body. Apollo was looking at him with creepy eyes and he didn't like it at all.

"I know," he said, wrapping the towel around his body.
