354 Too Good To Be True

"You mean he was the one I was fighting at the cafeteria?" Raymond said, pointing at Luis with a stunned look on his face.

"That's not true, I know what I saw, I was fighting him, the demon, he was there," Raymond said, turning away from Luis as he shook his head.

"You didn't see anything Raymond." Lieutenant Iris said, he was the one you attacked.

"But how is that even possible?" Raymond pondered with a puzzled look on his face.

"I don't know but the assistant and her assistant over here think your mind was manipulated somehow." The Lieutenant said, turning her gaze to Nicole and Nova.

"Manipulated, how?" Raymond asked, turning his gaze to the two women standing behind him.

Nicole would have loved to explain what she thought it was but she knew Nova had a better understanding of what had really happened to him so she gave her a little tap on her shoulder which was a sign that she should do the explanation.

"There are two types of mind manipulation, you have mind control or compulsion and Mind deception and according to what you just said I believe what was used against you was Mind deception," Nova explained.

"Mind deception?" Raymond said.

"You see while Compulsion is used to force people to do things out of their own self-will, mind deception is used to make people see things other than what is exactly there and then that can be used to control them.

"Whoever used this ability on you made you see Luis as a demon and that was the reason why you attacked him at the cafeteria," Nova said.

"But why would he straight-up attack a demon?" Lieutenant Iris asked. "Or is it another effect of mind deception?"

"My mind was filled with rage the moment I saw him and I didn't even think about the demon being stronger than me, I just attacked him," Raymond said slowly, turning his gaze to Luis before bringing it down again.

"How do you know the demon because from what I saw and heard, it seemed like the particular demon you saw as Luis did something bad to you?" Lieutenant Iris asked.

Raymond didn't reply for quite a while as he stared and folded his right hand into a fist.

"I was only eight years old when my aunt brought me and my sister to Techno-Lution labs to see our parents."

"Techno-Lution labs? The one at TronVille?" Nicole asked.

"Yeah," Raymond said with a nod.

"Michael's worked there before." She muttered to herself.

"I was glad to be finally visiting my parents at their workplace but my little sister was quite ecstatic about the whole thing.

"We thought it was going to be a really wonderful day but it turned out to be the complete opposite. The whole place had entered a state of panic a few minutes after we had entered the building, my aunt had quickly left us in the reception area to go see my parents.

"My sister sat there quietly smiling brightly as she didn't exactly know what was going on but I knew something was definitely wrong.

"I followed my aunt from behind to go see what was happening and it didn't take long before she had gotten to her destination, the laboratory where both of my parents worked together as lab scientists.

"There were a few guards lying on the floor and then there was my aunt who stood at the entrance too afraid to move. The last person I saw was this man who used a large fireball to smash the glass before jumping down from there.

"I didn't know exactly what was going on until I got closer and looked at the floor to see both of my parents lying on the floor with their white lab coats covered in blood, my father was long gone and my mother was as good as dead.

At this point, Raymond's voice was beginning to crack and break a little as he was trying so hard to stop himself from breaking down in tears.

"My mother died in my hands after telling me to take care of my sister and telling my aunt to take good care of us. She seemed happy to touch and caress my cheeks one last time but I knew she wasn't actually happy to be leaving us so soon."

'These demons have caused more chaos than anyone can ever imagine.' Luis thought after hearing that sad story.

'You have no idea.' Lena said.

"Why was the demon there?" Lieutenant Iris asked with no expression of sympathy on her face.

"They said he came to take something," Raymond said.

"Did he get it?" The Lieutenant asked.

"Yeah," Raymond said with a nod as he inhaled deeply.

"And what exactly was that?"

"I don't know, the lab never told us anything about it," Raymond said.

"Okay." Lieutenant Iris said. "The both of you can go then."

"Aren't you going to talk about the fact that someone manipulated his mind and used him to attack Luis?" Nicole asked.

"Luis is your student, so if anyone is targeting him for some reason, it's your duty to get to the root of it, maybe that someone is from your academy what am I saying? It is very likely that that someone is from your academy because he doesn't really know anyone from the other academies yet." "The only way we can help you is by punishing the culprit when you find whoever it is."

"Really? And what about Raymond? What if this person tries to use mind deception on him again?" Nicole asked.

"It's unlikely to happen because whoever did this was clearly after Luis so he wouldn't use the ability on him again unless he comes close to Luis again." The Lieutenant said.

"Okay, but doesn't that mean that whoever this is will just use the ability on anybody he sees close to Luis?" Nova said.

"Yeah, that's right," Nicole said.

"We will handle the situation whenever it comes up but we will not put our time into looking for anybody, that's your job." The Lieutenant said. "And let me give you a little advice, why don't you call him later after now and ask him how many enemies he has at your academy and the ones that he did something bad too?"

Nicole let out a sigh, she knew there was no point in saying anything again as the Lieutenant wouldn't even listen to her.

"You two can go now and please make sure to stay away from each other." The Lieutenant said, turning her gaze to both of the students.

The two didn't say anything as they got up and turned to the door.

Nicole and Nova wanted to leave at the same time but they were both stopped by Lieutenant Iris.

"Not you two, I didn't say we were done yet, we still have to wait for him to arrive." The Lieutenant said.

Both Nicole and Nova let out sighs as they turned to face the Lieutenant while the two boys left through the door.

"The seats are available now so you can have a seat if you want." The Lieutenant said with a wry smile on her face.

The two didn't reply to her and just stood staring at her until the door had opened for Jack, the head of Tron Ville academy to enter the office.

"You had to take this long to answer an urgent call." The Lieutenant said, rolling her eyes.

Both Luis and Raymond had walked a little distance away from the Lieutenant's office before Raymond had decided to tell him something he really wanted to tell him.

"Hey I'm sorry for what happened at the cafeteria, that wasn't me at all," Raymond said.

"I know, it wasn't your fault," Luis said.

"Okay," Raymond said, quickly turning away from him.

"I'm sorry about what happened to your parents," Luis said.

"You don't have to be, it wasn't your fault anyway, I just wonder what life would have been like if those demons didn't exist!" Raymond said with a raised voice letting out a bit of the anger he was feeling inside.

Luis didn't know what to say in this situation so he preferred to keep his mouth shut.

"Demons aren't even the only problem," Raymond said.

"Huh?" Luis said with a confused expression on his face.

He could have easily gotten the answer from Raymond's mind which was as fragile as ever but he was trying to form the habit of not using his mind read for unnecessary things.

"I was manipulated tonight and used to try and hurt you, I could have hurt you if you weren't too strong for me, heck somebody got hurt tonight because of this," Raymond said. "Some humans are just as horrible as demons."

Luis didn't reply to any of the things he was saying as the two headed toward their dormitory areas.

"Hey, you're a second-year student right?" Raymond asked as they slowly approached the skyscraper.

"No, I'm a first-year student," Luis said.

"What?" Raymond said with quite a stunned look on his face. "You're quite strong for a first-year student and that stab on your legs didn't seem like it affected you that much." He said looking at Luis' legs which he was taped with small bandages now.

He asked for the bandages to avoid raising suspicions about how his leg healed so fast.

"No, it hurts but not that much," Luis said quickly, faking a little limp.

"Luis right?" Raymond said.

"Yeah," Luis replied.

"I'll be seeing you around after whoever is up to this scheme is caught," Raymond said as he took the turn to the other road leading to the skyscraper.

"Okay," Luis said watching him walk toward the skyscraper.

'How is this even possible Lena?' The Angel asked.

'I don't know, it's just too good to be true.' Lena said.
