My Angelic System



Kye stood there, staring at the phoenix in the cage, wondering how he could possibly free it without causing harm to the creature or being caught by the examiners. His mind raced as he considered his options, trying to come up with a plan that would allow him to save the phoenix without getting disqualified from the entrance exam.

As he pondered, Kye felt a growing sense of unease. He realized that he couldn't stand by and watch as the phoenix suffered, trapped in its cage. He knew he had to take action, even if it meant facing  adversity. Especially now that the test will start in a few moments.

And unfortunately for him, the presenter continued. "And nowwwww, let's start!"

"Woahhhhh!"

The crowd cheered once more as the phoenixes were all released from their cages, and the participants rushed toward them.

They started using their abilities, but most of them were close-quarter combatants. And since the phoenixes were all in the air, the participants couldn't even attack them.

And Kye felt relieved by this fact because he still didn't know what to do. He would have to go all out if he wanted to save the phoenixes but at the stake of revealing his identity.

Yet what other choices did he have?

He knew that revealing his identity will lead him to greater dangers. Yet he needed to do it.

And so his wings pierced his clothes yet again, and his halo appeared above him. "If things come to worse, I'll just say it's my ability." He muttered to himself as he flipped his wings to propulse himself in the air.

"Look, he's like an angel."

"What a pretty ability!"

"He's so handsome."

People were amazed by this new ability as it looked amazing. It was the first time they saw such a thing.

Though, Kye couldn't care less as he just flapped his wings to get higher.

'Please break our collars.'

The phoenixes' voice resounded in his head. 

Kye looked at the other participants who were all on the ground, shouting about the unfairness of the situation. However, Kye's gaze landed on the red-haired woman. She was smiling at him.

"Tch, it's as if she knew it already." He clicked his tongue before turning his eyes back to the phoenixes.

And it was at this moment that he felt something wasn't right.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it wouldn't be funny if our dear participants can't hunt down those majestic creatures, right?"

And right at this moment, he pressed a button.

*Bzz*

*Bzzt*

The collars on their necks suddenly shone brightly before electrocuting all of them.

"Shit no." Kye flew toward the falling phoenixes, but he couldn't do anything as the electricity kept moving on their bodies wildly.

Kye gritted his teeth as he watched the phoenixes suffer in agony. He tried to use his powers to calm them down, but it was no use. The electricity was too strong, and it was clear that the examiners had designed the collars to prevent anyone from freeing the phoenixes.

Kye felt helpless as he watched the phoenixes fall to the ground, their flames flickering weakly. He knew that he had to act fast if he wanted to save them.

But how could he do it without getting caught by the examiners?

As he flew closer to the phoenixes, Kye noticed that the red-haired woman was staring at him intently. There was something in her eyes that made him uneasy, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

He decided to take a risk and fly closer to her.

"Hey, do you know anything about these collars?" Kye asked, trying to sound casual.

The woman's smile widened, and she leaned in closer to him. "Why do you ask?"

"I just... I want to help the phoenixes, you know? But I don't want to get caught and disqualified."

The woman chuckled. "You're a brave one, aren't you? But I'm afraid I can't help you. The collars are designed to prevent anyone from interfering with the exam."

Kye felt a surge of anger and frustration. He had to do something, but he didn't know what. He looked around, trying to come up with a plan.

And then he saw it.

One of the phoenixes had fallen to the ground, but its flames were still burning brightly. And at that moment, Kye realized that the flames could be used to disable the collars and free the phoenixes.

And thus, Lightbringer took its real form. He knew that Michael was watching him from somewhere and would undoubtedly know about this sword, but he couldn't care less right now.

Ras' mark shone brightly on him, and flames coated his sword.

The phoenixes cried as they sensed their king's power, and looked as if power were coming back to them.

And right before Kye could move, the system chimed in.

[New quest available]

[Save all the phoenixes and bring them back to their king

Reward: The help of the Phoenix king + Two instant levels up

Failure: Death]

'Are you kidding me!?' Kye wanted to find the one who made this system and knock them back in their right mind. It started to annoy him greatly.

Unfortunately for him, he didn't have the time to think about such things. The other participants started fighting against the phoenixes in a bloody battle.

The participants were clearly on the losing side, yet it was clear that the phoenixes weren't fairing that much better.

One participant, a tall and muscular man, charged towards a phoenix with brute force. He swung his sword wildly, but the phoenix evaded his attacks effortlessly. The man's frustration grew with each missed strike, and he became reckless. He charged at the phoenix once more, leaving himself wide open for a counter-attack. The phoenix took advantage of the opening and shot a blast of fire at the man, knocking him back several feet.

Another participant, a young woman with short black hair, relied on her agility to dodge the phoenix's attacks. She darted around the creature, striking at it with quick jabs and kicks. The phoenix struggled to keep up with her movements, but it managed to catch her with a blast of fire. The woman's clothes caught on fire, and she panicked. She rolled on the ground, trying to extinguish the flames, but the phoenix seized the opportunity to attack her. It swooped down and pecked at her head, causing her to scream in pain.

Kye watched the battles with a heavy heart. He knew that he couldn't let the phoenixes suffer any longer. He had to act fast and save them all.

'Won't you try to save the humans as well?' Lightbringer asked right before he could move.

'Hell no, they are in the wrong.'

'You would have done the same if you didn't have any relation with Ras, you know?'

Kye stood there, holding his sword and watching the chaos unfold before him. He felt torn between his desire to help the phoenixes and his fear of being caught by the examiners. As the battle continued, Kye became more and more indecisive about what to do next.

On the one hand, he knew that he had the power to save the phoenixes and end the battle. On the other hand, he didn't want to risk getting disqualified from the exam and losing his chance to become a hunter.

Kye's mind was racing as he watched the participants struggling to fight against the phoenixes. He knew that he had to act fast if he wanted to save them, but he couldn't decide on the best course of action.

The phoenixes were clearly winning this battle, yet they needed to be saved. As for the humans, did they need to die?

In the end, Kye shook his head and flew toward one of the phoenixes, slicing his sword toward its throat.

The collar was cut in an instant, and Kye flew toward another phoenix. And he continued like this until he destroyed all the collars.

"Participant number 8, Kye, what is the meaning of this?" It wasn't the examiner's voice that came in, but someone far more terrifying. Yes, it was Michael's voice that resounded all over the place, shutting everyone in an instant. "Why did you free the phoenixes we captured with so much hardship?"

Kye looked intently at him, a shiver running down his back. He still vividly remembered what happened earlier in the day, and it gave him cold sweat.

"I..."
