Chapter 44 - Spying Operation... Besties Date?

It has been about a week since the Second Semester started as Lukas was currently in the Magics Class, learning about the various Magics based on the race within the Supernatural spectrum. Though he paid as much attention as he could, he couldn't help but feel rather tired as things did happen to him through the week. Ever since he moved into a dorm provided by the campus since he would be the only one living there, things always felt off to him.

From most of the week, he could note that he is being kept on campus for his own safety, which he doesn't mind but something always felt wrong about it. Yet he also noticed that Magni Dezmond, the assistant teacher to Yamino-Sensei isn't around recently, which makes things rather suspicious. He did remember that Zai told him that he would be gone for a while to deal with some things, like the supposed High Society. He could understand this since Zai was apparently the strongest and to hunt them down, they would need the strongest they could muster. Yet Dezmond to not be around was making things rather suspicious since most of the students don't know where he is and what he is doing nowadays. Yet he also was helping Calli figure out her issues when it came to understanding love, which he was no expert in. 

Yet right now he couldn't help himself but feel really tired as this stress was building up to him and he couldn't help it as he is a self-conscious and a self-aware individual. Yet Ina noticed his gloomy demeanour as she placed her hand on Lukas' shoulder, putting some of her energy into him and make him slightly more energetic, making Lukas be able to sit more straight in his seat.

Lukas: "Thanks Ina..."

Ina couldn't help but smile at her friend.

Ina: "No problem Lukas. What's making you so tired recently?"

Lukas: "Oh uh... Just trying to get used to the new living environment you could say..."

Ina: "New living environment?"

In truth, Lukas never told anyone that he was now living in the Academy campus within the dorm he was provided by Tanigo, so it came off a bit awkward for him when he has to tell Ina now.

Lukas: "Oh yeah... I was moved onto the Academy grounds for my own safety.."

Ina: "Oh I see, so it was due to the Bermuda Triangle thing right? I do remember those mechanical guys."

Lukas: "Yeah..."

Lukas then continued to pay attention to the class, which Ina understood as she begun doing the same. Yet while Lukas was eyeing the lesson, he couldn't help but feel such an interesting presence coming from Yamino-Sensei. He could feel that he is Human, but his unique Magic affinity allows him to be seen as not a Human. Yet since his attire makes him seem not Human, it is fair to say that people may mistake him of the Supernatural origins. 

Shu: "As you are all aware, the usage of Glamour can be rather unique in its own right as there are different forms of Glamour. The Glamour we use today is one of three variations we use today. As originally, way back in time throughout history, Glamour originally was used to disguise the Supernatural but never decrease their power, which in the process still made them very vulnerable, but over time, they have learnt to improve the Glamour to decrease our power so we can all fit into society very easily. However even though the Glamour we use today is the best we can make, there is one above that. Divine Glamour."

Yamino-Sensei was walking around the classroom while explaining this. Yet when Lukas heard the term 'Divine Glamour', it did peak his interest as he knew that Glamour is a very concentrated Magic Spell, but Divine? He didn't fully understand it.

Shu: "Divine Glamour is slightly different in comparison as only the beings of Angelic descent and beings that are above the Supernatural can use it. Meaning that it requires a different way of using Glamour as their Magic affinities are different. Enna Alouette, can you please come on down for me?"

Enna ended up making her way to Yamino-Sensei's side as he began to make a demonstration.

Shu: "Ms. Alouette, would you mind explaining your Magic affinity to us?"

Enna simply nodded as she began to explain it.

Enna: "My Magical affinity leans towards my life as an Angel, meaning that I am able to use Holy Magic. However Holy Magic is unique amongst the Angels as we tend to use them in ways we see fit, hence why I sing. However instead of drawing from our Mana, we draw from our Soul. The Demons are somewhat similar but drawing from both the Mana and the Soul as the Demons who ended up down in the Underworld are technically Fallen Angels that slowly became more twisted."

Shu: "Thank you for the explanation Ms. Alouette. She is correct, Angels instead of drawing their power from their Mana, they instead draw power from their Soul. Their Soul plays an important part as it is said that the Creator which is said to be their ruler is the one that created them this way. The Underworld, being ruled by Satanael and Beelzebub is different. The Underworld originally was seen to be a wasteland, a separate plain of existence outside the reaches of Angels. Yet it is said that the Angels who fell from the Heavens ended up taking refuge, becoming Fallen Angels in the process, stripped of their power, eventually becoming what is rumoured to be Demons, but it isn't always the case. The Fallen technically can still draw their power from their Soul, but it is more dangerous and uncontrollable. The Fallen and Demons are quite different as Demons are more akin to the Supernatural, they have more closer understanding of Mana. Yet the Fallen have a unique way as they've learnt how to harness their Mana with their Souls, making them being able to rival Angels again."

Lukas was taking all of this lesson to heart so he could understand what he was listening to, however it still doesn't explain the Divine Glamour.

Shu: "Yet what does that have to do with Divine Glamour you may ask? Well, the only way to access it is through the Soul. Not many of the Supernatural and Humanity has been able to pull it off, so it is a rare circumstance that it becomes possible. The Supernatural and Humanity relies on their Mana to perform Magic while Angels and beings above use their Soul. Divine Glamour is the manifestation of your Soul."

It was slowly starting to make sense to Lukas as Magic is utilized differently based on affinity and descent. Yet since he is the Omni Magician, it still doesn't explain of what descent he is, because over the History lessons he had with Akuma-Sensei, he learnt that most Omni Magicians were actually of Supernatural descent, not of Human descent. Yet he is Human, so that means that something is missing from the history of his own family somewhere.

The lesson still continued on as usual as when the bell rang, it was the signal to end the day, with him saying goodbye to Ina and making his way to his dorm. His mind was too preoccupied as he was trying to come up with possible theories on what might be going on since he is aware of the dangers out there right now. Yet he failed to notice someone calling out to him.

???: "Hey Lukas!"

He stopped in his tracks as he turned to see Enna running towards him, making him confused on what she could want from him now. 

Lukas: "Enna..?"

Enna: "Hey Lukas. I wanted to know something from you and I think I may need your help."

In truth, Enna and Lukas have been getting closer a little ever since after the vacation since Enna has been getting him to open up, even if it was forced. Though Lukas at this point could consider her a friend to a degree at least.

Lukas: "What is it..?"

Enna: "Well, how much do you know about dating?"

Lukas blinked a few times, being utterly confused.

Lukas: "Umm.... What?"

Enna: "You heard me. How much do you know about dating?"

Lukas: "Well... I don't know too much to be honest... Even if I am going out on dates with my fiancé and even helping Calli out with her... problems... I am not that versed in it.... why?"

Enna: "Well since tomorrow is the weekend, I need your help spying on my two besties."

Lukas: "What..? Why would I..?"

Enna: "Come on! I know for a fact that Babu and Kyo are really close and I want to see how their relationship is going without being noticed! So I'm asking you to come along and pretend that we're hanging out so I can spy on them! Is that too much to ask!?"

Lukas felt a little overwhelmed by Enna as he tried to de-escalate the situation.

Lukas: "Okay okay.... I'll do it... Just where do you want us to meet tomorrow...?"

Enna: "Great! I'll meet you tomorrow early at 9AM. Don't be late as I'll be at the nearby café close to this Academy!"

He couldn't really tell if she was being friendly with him or trying to be forceful about this since she is giving off a bit of a authoritarian mood right now.

Lukas: "S-Sure..."

Enna: "See ya then!"

She then started running off since she should be heading home, leaving Lukas just thinking about whether he should really go or not. But then again, he is trying to fit into the Supernatural, not cause more conflict, so he figured that this might be a normal thing for that kind of shenanigans. So he made his way to his dorm, planning to get some early rest so he could be ready for the next day.

When the next day arrived, Lukas was up early in the morning, waiting at the café Enna told him to meet her at. He was currently wearing a pair of blue jeans, a white hoodie and a pair of black sneakers, checking his phone to see if Enna is nearby or not. It was close to 9AM as he waited, though then he saw Enna arriving, making him relieved that she at least kept her word.

(Imagine her without the wings since she is using Glamour, though Divine Glamour due to her heritage and descent as a Heavenly Angel, but then again, it does beg the question if she is a Fallen Angel as well...)

Enna: "There you are Lukas. I didn't expect you to be here earlier than 9AM.."

Lukas: "I figured that I would at least get here before the time."

Enna: "Good, we can at least have something to eat before we begin our little operation."

Lukas: "Operation?"

Enna: "Yeah! I did tell you that we're going to spy on my two besties are we not!?"

Lukas: "Oh yeah... Sorry.."

Enna sighed.

Enna: "No matter, let's get inside so long."

Lukas just simply nods as he feels like he should just go along with it. The two sat inside the café having their breakfast as they were relaxing before the big operation from Enna's perspective. Yet Lukas was curious about something since he was thinking about the Glamour Spell and its different usages. 

Lukas: "Hey Enna?"

Enna: "Yeah?"

Lukas: "I wanted to know since I don't know much about Divine Glamour... What can it do besides hiding features and lowering the power?"

Enna: "Well, there is a unique thing about it that I haven't touched much on since I am not that strong. Though like I fucking care anyways, however there are two different variations of Divine Glamour. You get the normal everyday one which is of people under the level of Archangels and the strongest Fallen. Below them, that Glamour can do what you can imagine, lowering your power while also hiding some of your features. Though Demons wouldn't care about things like that as you do get some that look really Human, though they can still cause problems. However the higher Divine Glamour Spells are difficult to do since you need exceedingly powerful Mana and Soul to use it."

Lukas: "How strong..?"

Enna: "Well, it is strong enough to change your identity over all. Changing your appearance like a Shapeshifter, lowering your power to the amount you desire, and can even change your own personality at will. Only beings that are around the same level as Satanael, Archangels and even above them can achieve such Divine Glamour Spells."

Lukas: "So even the Council can do that?"

Enna: "Yeah, they're above all of the Supernatural, so it is highly possible."

Lukas: "I see but... Aren't Angels part of the Supernatural?"

Enna: "Well they are, but it is because of our gifts from the Creator himself that we are able to be different and unique, for whatever purpose I'll never know. But enough about that, we about done eating right?"

Lukas simply nods his head, understanding that he has asked enough and they both leave to try and find their first individual, which happened to be Kyo as the two maintained their distance. Kyo just seemed to be his average everyday attire as he was busy looking at his phone.

Lukas: "I'm seeing nothing wrong so far..."

Lukas had his hood up, trying to conceal his identity while Enna was wearing one of her jackets she managed to find in her closet earlier today.

Enna: "Yeah but, I know them all too well. They wouldn't be planning this behind my back unless there's a reason..."

Enna had a serious face as she was awfully suspicious of what is about to go down.

Lukas: "I still don't get the point of your operation Enna..."

Enna: "Bitch! We're doing this to-!"

Before Enna could continue, Lukas immediately put his hand on her mouth, making her muffle as the two had to hide within an alley as Kyo looked up from his phone, a bit confused at first as he shrugged it off. While in the alley, Enna broke free from Lukas' grasp as she looked at him with an infuriated face and an infuriated tone.

Enna: "What, the, fuck, Lukas?"

Lukas: "You could've given your own cover away..."

Enna narrowed her eyes, but then sighed as she realized that he was right. 

Enna: "Fine, you're right. That's on me. However..."

She then peaks around the corner, seeing Kyo still standing there as he greeted somebody. Lukas just managed to check around the corner to see who it was. 

Enna: "It's Millie..."

Lukas managed to get a good look at Millie as she did look fairly different in comparison to her school attire and what she would wear when it came to her witch-like personality. It seemed very casual, but too fancy to think to be Millie in the first place.

Enna: "I knew it~"

Both Lukas and Enna move back into the alley, talking to each other.

Enna: "I fucking knew it! The two were seeing each other!"

Lukas: "Alright... I get what you're on about now. What's wrong with the two meeting up though...?"

Enna: "There's nothing wrong about it, but the two are starting to do so behind my back!"

Lukas was trying to process the information, yet he chose to let that slide for now as he doesn't have enough information to find the answer to this.

Lukas: "So you're expecting them to be... dating?"

Enna: "That's exactly what I'm thinking! We're going to follow them around, see what they do and we can call it all in a day's work~ I say that's a solid plan right?"

Lukas: "Well... It can work, but the execution of the plan might be..."

Enna: "Difficult? Just follow my lead and we'll be successful in no time!"

Enna says this with confidence as she has a thumbs up, showing that she is fully confident in her decision. Lukas sighs as he had no choice but to go along with it. We then see a montage of things that Kyo and Millie are doing while both Lukas and Enna follow in secret from a fair distance.

Kyo and Millie ended up going to an arcade place, which Lukas could recognize as the two were enjoying themselves, laughing away playing games as they make snarky jokes towards each other, yet Enna and Lukas were hiding a bit further back. Enna would be having a face of inquisitive expressions while Lukas was just trying to pay attention to the others around him. Though one moment, Enna almost tripped, which would've given them away, but Lukas managed to grab Enna by the jacket, pulling her out of sight in time before she could even fall. Since Millie and Kyo didn't notice anything, both Lukas and Enna sighed in relief.

Kyo and Millie eventually reached a karaoke bar that Lukas could also recognize as the two entered. The moment was both Kyo and Millie singing a song together as Enna and Lukas were watching with other people within the crowd of people who were interested. Enna could spot the tension between Millie and Kyo, yet Lukas looking on, making him realize that it kind of looked similar to how Kson and him technically handled some karaoke together. Yet when the two were done singing, everyone was cheering for them when Enna was about to shout, but Lukas immediately covered her mouth, making his one finger rest against his lip, forming that they should remain quiet while he was almost panicking. Enna nodded and both Enna and Lukas sighed in relief that they almost messed up again. 

Eventually as the day progressed, it reached sunset as both Millie and Kyo said their farewells. It was an experience for both Kyo and Millie, but it was also an experience for Enna and Lukas. When the two noticed they were leaving, Enna at least could come to a conclusion and remember some mental notes she took down.

Enna: "Well, the two didn't kiss... They were rather close but they didn't do romantic embraces... They didn't hold hands... But I did notice their faces being red at times..."

Lukas: "Well... Doesn't that mean that they like each other? Yet they haven't confessed?"

Enna: "Oh you're right~ Well... I'm still confused on why the two didn't tell me!?"

Lukas: "Relax a little... It was probably just a friendly hangout type of ordeal you know?"

Enna: "Bullshit! You know as well as I do that the two are in love!"

Lukas: "Well... It is possible... But why do you care about that so much if you should be happy for them?"

Enna: "What?"

Lukas: "Look, as much as I am not good at relationship advice or anything to do with love or romance... I think they didn't tell you because it might ruin the friendship triangle?"

Enna: "What do you mean?"

Enna's eyes narrowed, being rather suspicious of what Lukas is trying to say. Lukas honestly was a little terrified of it, but he kept calm as he tried his best to explain.

Lukas: "You mentioned them as your besties right? That means that they are besties with you and with each other... Close knit group with secrets and worry. They're probably afraid to admit it and they just don't want to ruin it all. Confessions can be hard on others, especially in friend groups..."

Lukas does remember a little about his past when a girl once confessed to him, even though he knew it was fake, that girl still somehow split that friend group into nothing. So there is a bit of experience from what he is saying.

Lukas: "So give them time and they'll open up to each other. I promise you, if they have told you, you might have made things.... awkward for them you know?"

Enna was trying to process this, making her realize his point as she sighed in frustration. 

Enna: "Argh... I really fucking hate this... But I get it, you're right... I'm sorry for snapping at you a few times during this whole ordeal Lukas..."

Lukas: "It's not your fault... It shows that you really care about them..."

Enna: "Yeah... Ain't that a cold truth..."

Lukas: "Well, at least now you know..."

Enna: "Thanks..."

Lukas: "For what..?"

Enna was looking at Lukas now with a kind smile.

Enna: "For helping me handle this. I couldn't have done this without you bud!"

She did a thumbs up as Lukas suddenly chuckled at this, making Enna confused.

Enna: "What you laughing about?"

Lukas: "Oh nothing... Just thought of you as a little sister kind of thing..."

Enna: "Ha... Never thought of it like that, but whatever... I'm heading home... It's getting late..."

Lukas: "Yeah... See you Enna..."

Enna: "Bye~!"

Enna then left as Lukas was left alone with his own thoughts. He was glad that he was able to clear up a misunderstanding, but he is confused on whether he made a new friend today or not. He then sighed as he made his way back to the Academy grounds, where he noticed Yamino-Sensei waiting for him at the gate entrance.

Shu: "Ah there you are Misaki. I thought you up and vanished."

Lukas: "I apologize Yamino-Sensei, I was helping a friend out with something and I felt like it was longer than necessary."

Shu: "Don't be sorry, you were just trying to help others out. So, you better head into the dorm so long."

Lukas nods as he begins to make his way to his dorm....
