My Angelic System

Kye feigned ignorance and shook his head. "I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean."

The head priest chuckled softly. "Don't play dumb, my dear. You can sense the holy energy coming from me, can't you? You know that I'm not human."

Kye's eyes widened in surprise. He knew that the head priest was more than he appeared, but he didn't expect him to reveal his true nature so easily. Yet he needed to act like this because he didn't want to reveal his identity yet.

As Lightbringer told him before coming to this planet, if people were to know about his identity, then things will become harder from now on. Thus, he still needed to feign ignorance.

"I-I didn't know," Kye stammered, trying to keep his composure. "But are angels real? I thought they were forgotten since religion isn't something really spread now."

The head priest smiled. "Oh, my dear Kye. Angels are as real as you and me. We may not be as visible or widely accepted as we once were, but our existence is still very much a reality."

The head priest made it clear that he knew about Kye's identity, and the latter decided to not play dumb anymore. If he could see his holy energy inside of him, then it was clear that the head priest could see his energy as well.

"What do you want?" Kye's eyes changed from surprise to extremely serious. He was almost threatening.

Though, the head priest only chuckled. "Haha, you're funny, Kye. Trying to feign ignorance in front of me."

As he spoke, the head priest's form began to shimmer and change. His blonde hair grew longer and his eyes became brighter. His figure also became more imposing even though it didn't change at all. And more importantly, he went from a middle-aged man to a handsome young man.

Kye's jaw dropped in shock as he watched the head priest transform into a magnificent being of light and power. He couldn't believe his eyes. Was it what a real angel looked like? He couldn't help but be amazed in front of such a being.

"I am not just an angel, Kye. I am an archangel," the being spoke with a voice that rumbled like thunder, yet it was also soothing him. "And my name is Michael." Michael's eyes gleamed as he looked down at Kye, waiting for his reaction.

[Archangel Uriel is shocked to see one of her fellow archangels again after such a long time.]

'Seriously another archangel? And what's up with Uriel? Why is she still watching me?' Kye thought.

'Be careful of Michael especially when he is using his power. He is the one who weighs someone's faith and righteousness.' Lightbringer told him quickly.

'As far as I know, I am more than kind and try my best to help people, so it should be alright.'

'Still, be careful!'

"Now that you know of my appearance, isn't it proper respect to show yours as well?" Michael asked with a smile as he sat down, his multiple wings retracting behind him to not hinder him.

Kye looked at him in awe as he hesitated for a moment. Nonetheless, he still stood up as Michael didn't look like a threat right now.

And as such, Kye's wings tore through his shirt, and his halo went above his head as well. His blue eyes were glowing with yellow light and his holiness was showing through his entire being, even though he was still a low-rank angel.

Michael looked a little surprised at Kye's appearance. His wings were really great, and the power he was emanating was also too much for his rank. His halo also shone brightly, almost as much as his.

"Interesting."

Michael's voice was filled with curiosity as he examined Kye's appearance. "You are quite the unique one, Kye. Your power and aura are strong for a low-rank angel. I can sense that you have great potential within you."

Kye felt a sense of pride and excitement at Michael's words. He didn't want to be happy by that, but having an archangel recognize his potential was something else entirely.

"Thank yo-..." Kye tried to say, but was quickly cut short by Michael.

"However, you are also very strange."

"What do you mean?" Kye took a step back as Lightbringer advised him to slowly retreat.

"You see, it is almost impossible to deceive my eyes. And while you were transforming, I could clearly see demonic energy." A shiver went down Kye's spine. "And yet now I can't feel it anymore. How strange, indeed."

Michael's smile had vanished, replaced by a more serious expression. Kye could sense a dangerous aura coming from him, and his instincts told him to run away as fast as he could. However, he knew that he couldn't just leave without any explanation.

"Demonic energy?" Kye asked, trying to sound confused. "I don't understand what you mean. I have no connection to demons." Unfortunately for him, Michael wasn't someone he could trick.

Michael stood up and walked towards Kye, his wings extending to their full length. Kye could feel the pressure of Michael's power as he stood before him, and he struggled to maintain his composure.

"You shouldn't lie, Kye," Michael said, his voice low and menacing. "I clearly sensed the taint of darkness on you earlier. It was faint, but it was definitely there."

Kye was at a loss for words. He didn't know how Michael could sense his connection to demons, but he knew that he couldn't deny it anymore. He took a step back, hoping to put some distance between himself and Michael.

"I... I don't know what you're talking about," Kye said, his voice shaking slightly. "I have never had any connection to demons. I wasn't even aware of the existence of other angels and demons until now."

Michael's eyes narrowed as he stared at Kye, his wings flapping gently behind him. "And yet another lie. I can sense Uriel's gaze on you."

[Archangel Uriel is huffing in annoyance.]

ραпdǎ Йᴏνêl(сòm) Kye could feel the weight of Michael's gaze on him, and he knew that he was in deep trouble.

"You cannot deceive me, Kye," Michael said, his voice now filled with anger. "I can see the darkness that surrounds you, and I will not allow it to spread any further."

Kye was now backing away slowly, trying to find a way out of this situation. He knew that he couldn't take on an archangel, especially one as powerful as Michael.

"I... I didn't mean to..." Kye stuttered, trying to find the right words to say. His eyes started to get watery despite him.

Michael raised his hand, and Kye could feel a surge of energy coming from it. He knew that he was in trouble, and he closed his eyes, waiting for the inevitable. His arms covered his face.

He waited and waited again, but the pain never came.

Indeed, instead of attacking him, Michael placed his hand on Kye's forehead. "Why are you crying?" Michael asked in a gentle voice as if nothing happened. "Did I scare you that much? I'm sorry, okay? Don't cry."

He even squatted to come to Kye's eyes level.

The latter looked at him as tears flowed down his face, his eyes puffy and red, demanding an explanation.

"Don't worry, I won't attack you for such a tiny thing. The demonic energy isn't even present anymore in you as if it completely disappeared, so why would I even harm you?"

Michael smiled like a big brother, and Kye stood there in awe. He didn't know what to think anymore.

[Archangel Uriel is reprimanding archangel Michael's behavior.]

"Still, it surprise me that you attracted Uriel's attention. She isn't your typical angel, you know? You must have really interested her for her to watch over you."

Kye didn't respond as he didn't even know what to answer. All of this was too much for him.

Michael understood Kye's confusion and decided to explain. "You see, Kye, Uriel is an archangel known for her ability to bring truth and wisdom to those who seek it. She must have sensed something in you that piqued her interest. Perhaps it's your potential or something else entirely." He said.

"Anyway, you came here to join the holy church, right?" Michael asked as he went back to his human form. "I won't let you go easily even though you're a fellow angel. You will still have to do the entrance exam. Though, I'm sure you'll do with flying scores."
