My Angelic System
Chapter 69 Back To The Sea

"Oh? You're finally awake Kye?" Aria said as she came into his room after hearing some noises while she was preparing breakfast for him. He wasn't completely an angel yet, so he still needed to eat and drink, even if it was only a little bit. "And you still don't have any clothes on you. Do you perhaps like being naked?" She made a smug grin as Kye looked away shyly with a red face. He tried to use his wings to hide his body but to no avail. He wasn't used to them yet.

"G-good morning, Aria," He went to the closet and began to put some clothes on him. Though, because of his wings, he couldn't put anything for the upper part of his body, so he'll have to do with only his lower part.

"Morning?" She chuckled. "It's already the afternoon. You slept for 15 hours or so."

"Huh?" Kye was surprised since he never slept that much in his life. Be it before the military because of the pain he felt every time he moves, or now because his friends always wanted to hang out. "Then do I have to wait until tomorrow to go and fight?"

"Pfft, of course not. Just eat a little and I will bring you above," She said before turning serious. "Though, you must be careful. You can't hide your wings as long as you're not a real angel, so if a person sees you, you will have to fend for yourself."

Kye pondered her words for a moment before replying with such determination that it made her smile. "I will be careful, and if I see someone, I will run away as fast as possible. I don't think that there is someone faster than me underwater anyway," He smiled confidently.

"Oh? Well still be careful," She said as she turned away toward the living room. "And before I forget, you also have your halo, so be careful with that as well."

Kye nodded and thanked her because he had completely forgotten about it. He then tried to put it in different places on his body, but it didn't fit since it was quite large. So with no solution, he placed it as close to his head as possible, even under his hair.

And Kye was quite happy with the result since the halo was almost not visible anymore.

Almost.

If a person knew how to look, then they will see it without any problem. The halo was made of such a light that it was almost blinding. So it made a strange effect when put under his hair. Though, it only added something more to his charm. Something almost holy.

So he went to eat just a very little bit before Aria handed him his suit. "Although it would have been good if my friend seal could make you breathe underwater, it can't. At least for now," Kye paused for a second at her last words but had to continue to listen since she didn't finish speaking. "So you will still have to use your suit until your friend seal evolves. I sewed it with stronger material, so you don't have to worry about it tearing apart. I also made two holes so that your wings can pass through them."

"Thank you for helping me, Aria," He almost wanted to cry but managed to put his tears away. "Though, I don't think I will be able to put the suit on me with my wings."

"Don't worry about that and just put it on," Kye nodded and slowly enter his suit. And to his surprise, his wings shrink to enter the two holes before taking the earlier and majestic form. "Angels' and demons' wings aren't normal wings. They are almost an entity on their own. For example, when someone will put clothes on them, if there are holes large enough, then the wings will shrink in size and enter them to facilitate things. It's the same thing when you will put your suit away."

"That's so cool!!" Kye exclaimed with shining eyes. "I won't be bothered by them thanks to that, hehe," He was so happy that if he could fly, he would have done so already. It was a big worry for him. Such big wings would hinder him more than anything. And staying shirtless wasn't to his liking. So a big weight was pulled off his shoulders right now.

"I'm glad you like it," Aria smiled before clapping her hands, teleporting Kye immediately to the border of her territory with her. If some guars were to see him with his wings, even if he had her friend seal, it wouldn't change much since they would take Kye as an enemy. "Anyways, I'll leave you here. You just have to continue going upward until you will see the difference between here and there," As she said, there was a big difference between her territory and the upper part of Supi's sea. Where they were now was quite dark, to say the least. Though, thanks to their improved vision, intelligent creature, or even Kye thanks to him not being completely human anymore could see in the dark. As for the upper part of the sea, since the sun's rays and the moon's rays were reflecting on it, it was more clearer and visible than here.

"Do I have to return here every time night comes?" Kye asked as he looked around him to remember his surrounding.

"It's up to you. You can come here every time you're tired. I will come and take you the moment I sense you in my territory, or will send you someone if I'm busy," She replied. "Though, I will say that you should come back only when you're too tired to continue and need a safe place to rest, or either when you finally become an angel. However, be aware that to become a full angel, it takes most of the angels a century, so it will take a very very long time before you become one."

"I see, I will come back when I will need it then. And thank you for telling me this, I will be more careful thanks to that," Kye said with a smile, but in the back of his head, he couldn't help but don't understand how people could take a century to become a real angel. Was it that hard for a newborn to become an angel and finally began their duty? Kye couldn't think of this possibility since he was sure that he would become an angel once he will reach level 10, so in 5 levels.

After saying goodbye, Kye finally swam away. He tried to use his wings as well when he was swimming, but it was as if using two new limbs, so he had to learn things from scratch, like a baby that was learning how to take its first steps.

Kye didn't meet any monster for about thirty minutes. The time it took him to go from Aria's territory to slowly reach the light. He could finally see normal fishes swimming, as well as some monster in the distance.

He continued swimming until he could replace a lone monster. He didn't want to take a group of monsters head-on since it would surely mean death for him. He was indeed quite strong, but it was better to be cautious than sorry later.

Though, he didn't have to search for long because a small-looking black shark swam at full speed toward him.

And it was alone.

"Come," Kye mumbled to himself as his sword appeared in his hand. He didn't rush toward the shark since there wasn't any need. On the contrary, he just needed to dodge the shark before slashing his neck.

And he did just that.

Blood splashed everywhere. Though, thankfully, since he was underwater, no blood tainted him.

"Yes!" He exclaimed as he saw the EXP he earned.

[You killed an ordinary rank black shark, +150 EXP]
