(Angelic Tutelage)

I stretched out on the large, soft bed. My head resting on my hands as I lay back. 

The room around me was impressive, a massive comfortable chamber. Gabriel had placed me in a room close to her. It was strange. 

Despite what you would think, she didn't possess any sort of mansion nor did any other Seraph living here. Angelic culture was different from what I knew from the Devils and Fallen. That was to be expected though. 

The castle she lived in was one massive castle that was split into sections, it turns out all the Seraphs live here. 

That made sense due to its massive size. It was so large that dozens of people could have their own sections without any bother. 

I hadn't met any of the other Seraphs or Arch-seraphs who lived here but I was no doubt going to meet them at some point. Considering I was sleeping here. 

It was weird how casual the decision had been, apparently Gabriel had made the call on it and everyone just let her. Though then again, she was meant to be quite popular in canon with the Angels due to her kind nature.

She was basically an angelic celebrity. 

Not much had happened in between the spar with Uriel and now. 

Other than the talk with Gabriel, which was what my main focus was on as I stared at the ceiling. 

After I answered her question she had first decided to give me a crash course on who God was and some history about the rebellion from Lucifer, it had been enlightening. 

Apparently God had multiple domains and was considered the strongest God. 

Then, she told me about his death. Her eyes had been both pained and worried about my reaction. 

By that time, Uriel had come back and his reaction was just as affected. That had then led into the real question they wanted to ask me.

They knew about my Angels… as I had suspected they knew of all six of them and believed all of us to be created by the resurrected God. Who was actually just me who had been absorbing the divine shard. 

Thankfully they hadn't asked if I knew where the other Angels were, but Gabriel did insist that I sleep closer to her. Just like that my plans of slipping off to my sub-dimension were stopped. 

It was a good thing I had prepared for this in any case, I doubted I would have been able to slip away unnoticed for a while. 

I closed my eyes. 

There was another subject I needed to think about.

My download skill…

I finally had a free download available and ready to be used whenever, preferably sooner rather than later due to its cooldown. So I had been thinking about what character I could download. 

See, my skill was overpowered no doubt. Being able to select any fictional character to download was an insane boon. The only drawback was the time I would have to wait. 

The stronger character picked the longer the download would take. My download skill also seemed to take into account the potential of all the skills the character possessed so even some weak characters with an overpowered skill would take a long time. 

My strength did contribute to reducing its cooldown, but not significantly enough to make a major difference. Because of this, I focused on more practical characters, as I'd been in near-constant conflict since being reborn.

Waiting years for a powerful download with an incredible skill to boost my abilities sounded appealing in theory, but it felt impractical. Skipping over smaller, more versatile skills that could provide consistent support in the meantime seemed like a foolish trade-off to me.

That worry and need to grow in power as fate seemingly threw one event after another at me was gone now. 

So, looking into more powerful options that took longer wasn't as needed. 

I did want one skill before I made any large decision. It was the skill I had originally downloaded Momonga for, a teleportation skill. 

One that would allow me to temporarily leave Heaven when the time came. I wanted to deal with that assassin organisation after me at some point. I still had the assassin in my inventory, ready to be used for information. 

Choose Template: (_)

Gabriel wouldn't let me leave Heaven and while I didn't exactly want to leave either I also didn't want to be trapped here. Something told me that the shard wouldn't grow if I was locked away in Heaven. 

[Gordon] [World - Marvel] (CHOSEN)

A relatively weak character with a weak teleportation ability that shouldn't take long to download. Did I genuinely believe this would bypass the thousands of powerful wards and layered defences woven into Heaven?

No.

Gabriel had told me a bit more about Heaven and I knew that any Angel who fell was instantly teleported out into the underworld. This place was as powerful as you would expect. 

The gateway to the dimension Heaven resided in was a testament to that, I clicked my tongue. I had forgotten to appraise the actual gate of heaven. I could only imagine how stacked that was. 

I'm sure it wasn't only Heaven that was this way, Olympus probably had a lot of defences that I hadn't seen too since I had been allowed in by an elder god of their Pantheon. 

I wondered if they gave this an actual name? Was it some sort of magic branch that was focused on defences? I hadn't heard much of it. Perhaps I should ask Uriel later.

Returning to the ability I wanted, it was called Zapping Light. This ability could generate an electric force field and facilitate teleportation. My gamble with it hinged on me being an Angel and the unusual connection I felt to Heaven. 

I hoped it would allow me to travel to and from Heaven but I highly doubted it. 

This download wouldn't take a long time in any case. Downloading a more powerful version of teleportation that would work where Zapping Light wouldn't would take too long. 

After this download, I had an idea of a strong skill that I wanted. It would take a while to download but the power gain would be worth it. 

There was one last thing to think about.

Semi-Divine Form (Underpowered) [Passive] [UNCHARGED]

A semi-divine transformation that can only be sustained for fifty seconds once fully charged. Activation requires the metre to be fully charged with holy power.

[Holy Power Stored: 478/10,000]

The divine form I had somehow obtained when fighting Ares. 

The metre had filled up a bit. I had learnt how to channel holy energy into it. The calculation of my holy power was new and relatively simple I had found.

When I had slept in my sub-dimension I had channelled all my reserves into it. Which equated four hundred and seventy eight. That was double of my stat points in MAG. Meaning the calculated power was essentially double of the points I had within my stats.

It was going to take a long time to fill it up. I couldn't exactly keep draining myself, but I wanted that power so I figured I would drain my holy power every night before I slept. 

With that in mind, I connected to this skill. A massive surge of angelic mana that turned into holy power via my holy power manipulation briefly erupted in my room before it disappeared.

I let out an exhausted breath, my body going slack from the lack of energy in me. I did find that angelic mana exhaustion tended to make me sluggish. 

[Holy Power Stored: 956/10,000]

I smiled. With that done, I let out a relaxed sigh and closed my eyes. I didn't need sleep but the longer I went without it the more strain my mind began to feel. 

Plus the bed was soft and the covers were insanely warm. It didn't take long before sleep claimed me.

-Scene Break-

I was jolted awake by a soft voice. "Kai, it's morning! You've been asleep for hours."

I blinked up to see the almost sinfully innocent face of Gabriel standing by my bedside. Her curious green eyes shining down at me. She wore a bright disarming smile and her golden hair shimmered faintly in the early morning light. 

The reason I had gone to sleep, it had been turning into night when me and Uriel had fought. Time zones were unfortunately a thing and I had to adapt to it. 

"Come on, you shouldn't sleep so much! There's so much to do!" She said excitedly. 

She was wearing a colourful short dress that didn't impede her movement with her hand on her hip.

Her attitude seemed a lot better. 

"How long have I been asleep?" I calmly asked.

"Four hours." She replied.

I pulled the covers back up slightly. 

Gabriel seemingly understood my actions. "We've got plans, come on. You don't even need sleep."

"We've got plans?" I questioned.

She twirled a strand of her golden hair, her eyes sparkling. 

Seriously, what was with this shift in attitude? 

"After you fell asleep, Uriel spoke with me. He seems to have taken a liking to you by the way and we have decided it's time to get your angelic education up to standard." She informed me.

"I'm not going to some angelic school am I?" I asked exasperatedly.

"No, we don't have those here. For a new Angel to be born is extremely rare." She replied. 

"Ah ok, also Uriel's taken a liking to me? We only met for a short period of time." I responded confusedly.

Gabriel sent me a slightly smug look.

"I told you that your sisters and brothers would be ecstatic to look after you. While Heaven is in chaos at the moment, once that settles down you'll see the full extent of that." She replied enthusiastically, with a hint of hope in her voice that made me feel terrible. 

"Oh! That reminds me." She clapped her hands. "We need to give you an angelic name. While I like your human name, it's tradition."

"Oh uh, okay?" I replied. 

She gently grabbed my hand and easily pulled me along with her. 

I was already dressed into some casual clothing, so I was able to leave immediately.

Gabriel led me through the massive halls of the castle, her hand firmly gripping mine. The excitement in her steps was almost contagious as she kept sending me looks. 

I wasn't sure what I felt about this whole "angelic name" thing.

"You're going to love it," she said, her golden hair catching the light as we turned a corner. "Names have power, Kai. An angel without a true angelic name shouldn't exist! Plus if you'll l-let me, I would like to choose the name for you."

I stayed quiet, unsure how to respond. I didn't need another name; Kai was fine. But something told me this wasn't a suggestion.

"Sure." I decided to reply after a moment, sending her an amused smile. 

Her face lit up before it became thoughtful. 

"Hmm," Gabriel hummed thoughtfully, tapping her chin. "Maybe something regal like Adiel? Or something simple and strong, like Amarel?"

"Those sounds... intense," I said, attempting to sound neutral but probably failing. "Why do they all need to have 'el' on the end?"

"Well, to show we are a part of our creator. We are extensions of him. He gave us life and the ability to choose how we live. Our names reflect that." Gabriel replied passionately. 

Yeah, for some reason all my Angels names had ended in 'El' it hadn't really been a conscious choice. 

Strange…

"Isn't that a bit egocentric?" I questioned carefully.

She giggled instead of getting angry. 

"I mean, it's not like he forced us to have those names. It was a tradition started by the first Angels." She replied. "I mean, there is a benefit to having a name closely tied to our creator."

"Oh what's that?" I asked curiously.

"You'll see." She replied mysteriously. "Oh, what about Haniel? It means 'Grace Of God'." 

"Isn't that a bit much?" I asked, exasperated.

She laughed. "That's the point!"

Before I could respond, a figure appeared at the far end of the corridor.

She was a tall woman with piercing purple eyes and silvery hair that cascaded over her shoulders like a waterfall. Her face was distractedly looking at the ground.

"Seraphiel" Gabriel exclaimed. 

A Seraph one of the Ten Seraphs to be more specific.

Purple eyes looked up, the soft pondering look on her face wiped away as she spotted Gabriel. A soft smile spread over her features. 

"Gabriel, You're back." She replied happily. 

Gabriel stepped forward with a radiant smile of her own. "It's good to see you again, Seraphiel."

The Great Seraph and Seraph embraced each other briefly.

I looked away as both of them possessed considerable assets that were heightened by the hug. 

This was awkward. 

Gabriel pulled back. "How have you been?"

Seraphiel hesitated, her expression growing complicated. Sadness flickered in her clear purple eyes. Gabriel stepped closer and placed a hand on her arm.

"Are you okay?" Gabriel's tone was soft, filled with concern.

Seraphiel's lips trembled into a smile but it was forced. "Yes... I am."

Gabriel didn't look convinced and neither was I, but neither of us pressed further. Instead, Gabriel pulled her into a second hug, whispering something too quiet for me to hear.

Her purple eyes finally registered me, confusion evident in her gaze.

"Oh right! Seraphiel, this is Kai, he's our newest sibling." Gabriel announced.

"New?" Seraphiel tilted her head, her purple eyes studying me carefully. After a moment, they lit up with realisation. "A new younger sibling?!"

I nodded hesitantly, unsure how to respond.

Before I could say anything, she pulled me into a firm hug. "I was wondering why I haven't seen you before!" she exclaimed with a warm laugh. "W-wait, that must mean—"

She paused, her arms still wrapped around me and I noticed the subtle exchange of glances between her and Gabriel. 

It didn't help that her considerable assets were pressing into me. 

There was a silent conversation between them that I couldn't decipher.

I became briefly nervous. My natural distrust poking its unwanted head out. My empathy activated and all I could feel was warm compassion and love for me that made me relax. 

Seraphiel's lips curved into a small, approving smile as she finally released me. "Well, welcome to Heaven, Kai. It's rare for someone new to join us. I hope Gabriel hasn't overwhelmed you yet."

I glanced at Gabriel, who grinned unapologetically. "I'm just helping him adjust!" she said cheerfully.

Seraphiel chuckled softly, brushing a strand of silver hair behind her ear.

-Scene Break- 

Gabriel walked beside me, muttering potential nicknames under her breath while I just stared at her in exhaustion. 

She seemed determined to decide on one more name, no matter how long it took. I stayed quiet, 

"How about Jezreel?" She asked. 

"No." I outright denied that suggestion. 

She pouted. 

We had just reached the training grounds, which seemed mildly empty. This place was apparently where angels came to refine their magical skills or sharpen their battle prowess. 

Uriel was already waiting, standing in the centre with his arms crossed. His gaze shifted to us and he smirked. 

"Hello, Kai." Uriel greeted me. 

"Hey Uriel." I replied pointedly.

He sent me an amused look. 

"We were just discussing his Angelic name? Do you have any ideas?" Gabriel immediately asked.

Uriel scratched his head thoughtfully before finally speaking. "How about Zadkiel?"

Gabriel frowned. "Already taken."

I sighed, ready to suggest we drop the topic entirely when Uriel clapped his hands. "Alright, enough of that for now. Let's get to why you're here."

He gestured for me to follow him. As we moved toward an open space, he began explaining, "Angelic magic isn't just about raw power. It's our version of the devils' imagination-based magic, but it's more structured and efficient."

Uriel stopped, extending a hand. A golden sigil formed in the air, pulsating with energy. 

"This is a basic construct spell," he said, shaping it into a sharp blade. "We use our willpower to mould magic into defined forms. The difference is our system doesn't rely on improvisation—it's refined."

He waved his hand, and the blade dissolved into glowing fragments. Then he turned to me. "Watch this."

Uriel raised both hands, drawing intricate patterns in the air. The sigils expanded, forming a glowing shield around him. 

"Eruptio sanctae hastae." [erupting holy spears]

Oh? So they are like the spell that Ares had been using. 

Then, with a flick of his wrist, a spear of energy materialised and shot forward, striking an invisible target in the distance before exploding. 

He smirked. "What do you think?"

"How come you didn't use these spells in our spar?" I questioned.

Both Gabriel and Uriel blinked.

He laughed. "Because you weren't using them and we were mostly going easy."

I nodded. "What's the point in using Angelic spells when we can simply manipulate light?"

Uriel looked thoughtful. "Firstly because angelic spells are beyond just light manipulation and because light manipulation itself is quite rare among our race."

I paused. "What?" 

"Kai, most Angels possess Light Bending. It's a lower level than outright manipulation. You're a rarity among Angels." Gabriel informed me.

Oh.

I did wonder how the Angels were losing with such a versatile skill. 

"So they use angelic spells as a substitute?" I asked after a moment.

"Exactly, though most Angels only have access to the spells that are associated with their strength level for safety reasons." Uriel explained. "A low class which only has access to low class spells such a 'levis hasta' which creates a light spear to fire."

I nodded along, absorbing the information.

"While most low-class don't use it since they have limited light bending, it can help in saving angelic mana. This goes the other classes, that spell I used earlier was a mid-class spell."

"Why don't you let the other Angels use higher levelled spells? Also where does an Angel access these spells?" I quickly questioned.

Gabriel smiled at my enthusiasm while Uriel answered. 

"Firstly, it's due to the amount of Angels who try to use spells above their rank. They normally don't have enough angelic mana to use it sustainably and many were getting hurt due to that." Uriel helpfully explained. "As for where they go to learn that, we have a library full of safely tested spells that have been created." 

"I see." I replied. "Uriel, does Heaven have any sort of ranking system beyond low, medium, high classes?" 

They both smiled.

"We do." Gabriel spoke up this time. "We are known as Seraphim or Archangels. We are considered the highest-ranking angels. Then the Ten Seraphs are Thrones. They rule over the other governing bodies. Below that is the Cherubim."

Her face turned solemn. An expression I decided I didn't enjoy. 

"There aren't many of those left, due to their nature of being protectors they were the ones sent out the most to protect locations. Then you have the Dominions. They regulate the duties of lower angels and ensure Heaven remains in divine order." She continued. "Then there's the Virtues; they are the warrior angels who make up the most of Heaven's armies. Finally we have the Principalities they normally serve as intermediaries between the higher orders and humans." 

Uriel decided to step in. "These are mostly just job titles. Nothing to worry about. Think of them as squadrons with roles to play in the functions of Heaven." 

"Interesting." I replied. "Can you show me a high class spell?" 

"Sure." Uriel smirked. "ignis procellae"

I was forced to stand back, a massive flame erupting and spring around him. 

The fire was powerful and I could feel the sheer heat even as I backed away. I noticed the flames weren't golden like this, meaning they didn't contain the holy attribute. 

It was bright red, it looked more demonic than angelic honestly but there was a weird light that could be seen in the core of it.

He swiped his hands, the flame flickering out with one last roar. 

My excitement in learning these spells had just been raised significantly. 

"Can I learn this?" I asked, my excitement noticeable. 

Gabriel laughed. "Oh my, I don't think I've seen you this excited before."

Uriel chuckled. 

"Sure you can, here let's start off with something basic. Let's try to cast the middle-class spell I showed you earlier as a start." Uriel said. He grinned. "It should only take you a few tries. Let's start with Eruptio sanctae hastae. Focus your angelic mana into the tip of your finger and create the same sigil as me, then say the words and let the magic shape it. These words are special and will interact with your Angelic mana to form the spell."

He demonstrated again, drawing a golden sigil mid-air and forming the glowing spear. It launched forward, striking another target in the distance before exploding into a bright shower. "Now, your turn."

I nodded and raised my hand, I pushed my angelic mana and mimicked the strange sigil he'd drawn in the air. Energy gathered at my fingertips and within moments, the sigil appeared. 

"Eruptio sanctae hastae." I repeated. 

My angelic mana responded and a spear of buzzing light formed, though its edges were jagged and unstable. It only stayed in the air for a second before flying off and striking a nearby rock. 

The explosion was smaller than Uriel's but still effective in destroying the rock. 

That had used a bit less mana than normal…

Uriel's eyebrows shot up. "First try? I had expected it to take at least six."

"It wasn't perfect, though," I admitted, already preparing to try again.

He shook his head in disbelief. 

I repeated the process, this time focusing harder on stabilising the shape. The spear came out sharper and brighter, flying straighter and detonating with a much larger impact.

"Good job Kai! You're a natural." Gabriel praised. 

Angelic Spellcraft Learnt.

[Angelic Spellcraft] (Passive)

The spellcraft used by Angels, by drawing symbols and chanting special words of power that help shape angelic mana. Angels can cause devastating feats of magic. This spellcraft can only be learnt by Angels

Oh? How curious. This would definitely be invaluable. The way those words had shaped my mana was abouts twenty five percent faster than normal. 

That may not seem like much but in battle it was a game changer, along with the fact I wouldn't be just stuck with my manipulation skills. While they were awesome I couldn't just create certain effects. 

It seems like I would have to remember the spells by myself. 

I flashed Gabriel a smile.

"You said that these words helped our angelic mana form into these spells? How does that work?" I asked Uriel.

"It's a bit complicated but certain words are able to form Angelic Mana into doing certain effects, after a lot of experimentation. Mostly due to Father telling us to work it out on our own, we were able to form spells." Uriel replied.

Uriel abruptly smiled. "Not all spells are elemental in nature, Kai." He held up his hand, muttering some words I couldn't hear. There was no outward effect besides the glow that was covering his throat.

"Greetings Kai." His voice boomed across the sky. The air vibrated from the sheer base his voice now possessed. It didn't sound like Uriel at all. 

Gabriel giggled. "That's a high class spell that all Seraphs know to use, it was created for large announcements."

Uriel shot her a look. "And to impress humans."

Her pale cheeks turned slightly red. 

I could see the appeal, it sounded powerful. 

Uriel caught my look. "I'll teach you it later, for now we wanted to teach you some more basic spells before we finish up."

"We don't want to force you to train all day after all." Gabriel pitched in sweetly. "Oh don't give me that look, you don't seriously want to train all day?"

I looked away.

Maybe. 

Uriel taught me multiple new spells after that. They were both mid-class in level, since he wanted to make sure I got used to it before trying any more powerful spells. 

Some of these spells? 

Aura Sacra - creates an aura of holy light around you, not that useful for me but it has the bonus effect of being able to select who to harm within this aura. Something that would take conscious effort normally.

Sanctus Custodia - creates a barrier of holy light, this one was useless but it was better to have it than to not have it. 

I wondered if I could teach this to my Angels? That would be even more of a game change if I could since they were stuck with the limited amount of spells they had been born with. 

Gabriel suddenly jumped up. "Oh I've got it. How about instead of changing your name outright we simplify it. Kaiel?"

I felt something click. 

Angelic Name Registered.

Kaiel

You have gained.

20 MAG

I stared at the screen in confusion as my angelic mana reserves grew tremendously. The value of the stat points at a higher number making the increase multiple times what it would have been when I was first reborn.

So having an angelic name gave me a power boost? That was interesting. Did the same apply for Devils? I knew that names were important for Angels and originally Demons. 

Gabriel's cheerful grin widened as she noticed my reaction. "See? I knew it! Kaiel suits you perfectly."

I smiled. I kinda liked it, I hadn't really wanted to part with the name I had received when arriving here. 

Uriel nodded approvingly. "I like it."

"For now though, let's continue with your training." His smirk widened as he gestured toward the far end of the training grounds, where an area marked with glowing runes caught my attention. 

It had a barrier in front of it, meaning it wasn't accessible to most Angels. 

"Alright, Kaiel," he said, deliberately using my new name. "I think you're ready for the next step."

I followed his gaze, raising an eyebrow. "And what's that?"

Uriel chuckled. "The training dummies. This area is usually restricted to any angels below the Cherub rank due to its rather dangerous nature, but since you're well above that level of power I believe you'll do fine."

Gabriel's face immediately twisted with concern. "Uriel, are you sure? He's only just started practicing."

"He'll be fine," Uriel waved her off. "Really, if Kaiel wanted to destroy them all he could. Easily in fact. That's why he will be restricted to only using angelic spells."

She nodded. 

The air seemed to thrum with holy energy as we stepped into the rune-covered arena. In the center stood several humanoid figures made of glowing light, each holding a different weapon.

"These training dummies are enchanted to move and cast holy spells," Uriel explained. His face turned more solemn "They were created during the holy war to give Angels combat experience before entering the battlefield. It used to be mandatory even for the weaker of our kind."

He took a breath. 

"Anyways, it's designed to simulate combat scenarios. Your goal is simple: disable them using only the angelic spells you've learned today." He finished. 

I registered that information.

"Only spells? No light manipulation?" I asked. 

"Exactly," Uriel confirmed. "This is to make sure you rely on the spells and not just your natural ability. Consider it a test. Since after our spar I can determine you don't truly need battle experience."

I smirked. "Alright. Let's do this."

"Oh and limit yourself to mid-class speed if you can. Or better yet try not to move at all." Uriel asked. "Using your speed would make this test useless."

I nodded easily. 

Gabriel sent him a glare.

Uriel waved a hand, seemingly activating the dummies. Golden words flared on their bodies and they came to life. They began to move, their glowing forms taking on more lifelike postures. 

One raised its weapon, a glowing spear, while another seemed to prepare a ranged spell. 

A golden magical circle forming in front of them. 

I didn't wait. 

"Eruptio sanctae hastae." I calmly uttered, a golden circle appearing that summoned a spear of light and launched it at the closest dummy. 

The spear struck its shield, creating an explosion that forced it back but didn't destroy it.

The other dummies began to advance, moving with unnerving coordination. One fired a barrage of light arrows that I barely dodged, rolling to the side and raising a glowing barrier.

"Sanctus Custodia." I called out and the barrier materialized around me, absorbing the incoming projectiles. My other hand raised, "Eruptio sanctae hastae"

The spear forced back another dummy. 

I dropped the barrier and charged forward, summoning another spear. This time, I focused on stabilizing the spell, making the edges sharper and the energy more concentrated.

"Vincula Sanctia." 

Three chains of light exploded out, not nearly as fast or powerful as my own but I was rather limited on what I could use. I had only learnt this since Uriel wanted me to. 

One of the dummies got caught up and promptly torn apart. 

I winced, sending a glance towards Uriel to see if I was in trouble. He simply gave me a thumbs up. 

In that case…

I turned back. 

Two more dummies moved in tandem, one swinging a glowing sword while the other cast a chain of holy light to bind me. I jumped back, narrowly avoiding the sword.

"Aura Sacra!" An Aura of light flared to life around me, enveloping me in holy energy. 

The chain of light dissipated before it could reach me.

"Gladius Ludicii."

A sword of light formed, and I promptly cut the nearest dummy in half. A bit of a cheat since that was more about my physical strength.

I backed away. 

"Eruptio sanctae hastae"

The spear struck its core and exploded, shattering it into glowing fragments.

One of the other dummies lunged at me with a quick flurry of attacks. 

To which I responded by raising another barrier. 

Letting the barrier drop just as the dummy prepared another strike. "Eruptio sanctae hastae." I summoned an explosive spear and hurled it at point-blank range. 

The explosion of light sent the dummy flying. 

The last dummy stood at a distance, raising both hands as a massive sigil appeared above it. 

A torrent of holy light rained down. 

"Sanctus Custodia." I lazily called, making a barrier form. 

"Flare Divina." The only other spell I hadn't showcased, a golden circle appeared and formed a blob of holy light. It grew for a few seconds before shooting towards the last dummy. 

The blob forced the dummy to retreat, its barrage of holy light attack coming to an end. The blob of light caused an explosion multiples times stronger than the exploding light spear and the dummy barely avoided it.

"Eruptio sanctae hastae." I called out, forming another spear and launching it. 

The spear forced the last dummy to cast a barrier, disrupting the spell. Only to fall back as the spear exploded. 

I had to wonder if this test was designed this way, the last dummy seemed a lot more annoying to deal with. 

"Flare Divina."

The dummy could only watch as the blob of light impacted its face and its existence was snuffed out. 

"Good work." Uriel said, clapping. "You've got a natural talent for this. You've just learnt how to use those spells and you've already seemed to master them."

Gabriel smiled, "Amazing working, barely anyone would be able to do that first time without even getting hit. You didn't even move all that much."

I sent a look towards the dummies. "Will you have to repair them?" 

Uriel chuckled, clicking his hand. 

All of the dummies reformed and I blinked. 

"They can just reform?" I asked, inspecting the dummies.

"Yes, it would be annoying if we had to constantly rebuild them."

I could think of many overpowered uses for this, I imagined myself as a lower-class Angel. Fighting these dummies and barely winning only to see them reform. 

I was curious as to how far I could take these spells. 

For now, I wanted to go to the Garden once more.
