Transcript
00:00:00Inside a pitch-black training hall, a certain boy was creeping his way forward towards a door.
00:00:05And just hovering above him was something that looked like a miniature bull, a little larger than a human's fist.
00:00:11Although this one also had tiny wings and two large fangs on the front of his face.
00:00:16Did you spot anyone, Ham? the kid asked. His name was Fex.
00:00:20And today he had come to the hall inside his family's castle for one reason, to go to the human world.
00:00:26Just then, out of his backpack, Fex pulled a small silver ring that had ten crystals embedded on the inside and all around.
00:00:34I have to thank you again, bloody vulvar, wherever you are. Because of you, I can finally leave this place.
00:00:39He then placed the ring on the ring finger of his right hand and was finally ready to go.
00:00:44Wait, I think I hear someone, Ham said. Well, let's hope I don't end up somewhere too bad.
00:00:49Fex then rushed over to one of the square machines on the floor and tapped on top of the machine.
00:00:55Access code accepted.
00:00:57From the hallway, one of the guards who was roaming could hear the mechanical sounds coming from the room.
00:01:03Is someone using the teleporters? I don't remember an outing planned for today, the man thought.
00:01:08He quickly ran into the room, and just then, he could see Fex standing in front of the circular teleport device.
00:01:15Fex turned around and looked up at the man. He gave him a huge smile before saluting the man.
00:01:20He grabbed Ham and jumped back into the teleport circle.
00:01:24Ham, you need to transform! The humans will have a fit if they see you flying above me.
00:01:29A small puff of black smoke appeared around Ham.
00:01:32When the black smoke went away, it was replaced with what looked like a black dangling earring.
00:01:37It was round at the top with a little symbol of a bull on it.
00:01:41When Fex opened his eyes, he found himself in a large dome-like building with digital signs going all across the walls,
00:01:48showing all sorts of advertisements.
00:01:50But the biggest one of them all was one that said, Welcome to Toclon City.
00:01:55Fex headed for the exit, as if he didn't worry about the world, but just as he reached the exit,
00:02:00he could see the doors to the outside where the sun was glaring.
00:02:04Time to put this ring to the test, Fex said.
00:02:07He closed his eyes and took one step out into the open sun, and nothing happened.
00:02:12With a big smile on his face, he continued to walk forward and started to explore the city.
00:02:18After walking a while, Fex decided to stop by what looked like a food shop.
00:02:22Perhaps I can get this thing called wine, the drink my grandpa was talking about from this shop, Fex thought.
00:02:28As he went inside, he started to look around the shop in the drink section for an item labeled as wine.
00:02:35He grabbed a random bottle and rushed over to the counter, waiting for his turn.
00:02:39ID please, the counter clerk asked.
00:02:42ID?
00:02:43Fex was confused. Unknown to him, every citizen of Earth was required to carry around an ID.
00:02:49How old are you, kid?
00:02:51Sixteen.
00:02:52Can I not purchase this drink then? I have the money, Fex said with an innocent smile on his face.
00:02:57No, of course you can.
00:02:59Then as Fex had left the shop, the clerk immediately opened up his screen and dialed the number 111.
00:03:06Hello, I'd like to report someone on Bader Street.
00:03:09Yeah, it looks like a student who was committing draft evasion.
00:03:12Black hair, gelled back, with an earring.
00:03:15He didn't seem to have an ID on him either.
00:03:17Walking down the street with his backpack in his hand, Fex was smiling broadly.
00:03:22Of course, it had been many years since his grandpa had visited Earth,
00:03:25but the one thing he would never stop talking about was this drink called wine.
00:03:30This was why Fex put it at the top of his to-do list when he would finally visit Earth.
00:03:35You're being followed, you know, Ham said.
00:03:38Yeah, I can tell, Fex replied.
00:03:40Did the family find us already? Ham asked.
00:03:43No, they don't smell like vampires. Most likely they are humans.
00:03:47But why are they following us? Fex said.
00:03:49Although Fex didn't pay much attention during his lessons, there was one law that was hammered into his head.
00:03:55Never, under any circumstance, reveal yourself to humans.
00:03:59If they found out what you are, you had only two options.
00:04:03Bring them back with you to turn them into a blooded, or kill them.
00:04:06Fex decided to turn around a corner into a dark alleyway to confront the humans following him.
00:04:12I know you're following me, Fex said.
00:04:14The two men stepped towards Fex.
00:04:16Fire when you're ready, the first man said.
00:04:18Looks like I might have to fight my way out of this one, Fex thought.
00:04:22He took a step forward, and a small, sharp pain was felt in the side of his neck.
00:04:27What the...
00:04:28As he looked to the side, he noticed that something that looked like a dart had been shot into his neck.
00:04:33Inside the dart, a green liquid could be seen.
00:04:36Why am I suddenly...feeling...so...sleepy?
00:04:41His eyes started to close, and he collapsed onto the floor.
00:04:44Back at the castle, a certain man was sitting in a large, throne-like chair.
00:04:49This man was Fex's father, Li. Li Sanguinis.
00:04:53Is there any update, he said.
00:04:55Kneeling in front of him were five of his subordinates.
00:04:58Unfortunately, it seems like the humans have managed to get to him before we could, sir, one of the subordinates said.
00:05:04Li said.
00:05:05The silly boy never paid any attention to his classes, yet he always listened to my father's crazy stories.
00:05:11Do we know where they have taken him?
00:05:13Our resources say that he was taken to one of the military bases to be admitted into military school, the same subordinate replied.
00:05:20Silver, Li said.
00:05:22Yes, sir.
00:05:23A female subordinate replied as she stood up.
00:05:26Just like her name suggested, she had bright long silver hair that was tied in a ponytail that nearly went down to her knees.
00:05:33As you are the faithful blood knight of the Sanguinis family, I task with retrieving and returning Fex to us.
00:05:39Silver then bowed down once again.
00:05:42I shall complete my task without fail.
00:05:44The meeting had ended, and each of them had left the room, leaving Li with his thoughts.
00:05:49Perhaps this will be a good learning experience for him.
00:05:52Remembering his own time on Earth, a rage inside his body started to consume him, and the glass he held in his hand shattered to pieces.
00:06:00It will teach him just how cruel those damn humans are to the other worlds.
00:06:04All of the students from the expedition had been gathered and were taken to the first year assembly hall.
00:06:10All they could do was talk to one another and speculate why the expedition had been cancelled.
00:06:15A student spotted black smoke in the distance in the desert.
00:06:18It seemed like it was coming from a ship.
00:06:20That's right, I heard it might have been a Dalki.
00:06:22All Fe could do was clench her fist.
00:06:24The report had stated that they had found both Hugo's and Ben's bodies out in the desert.
00:06:29They were able to confirm they had died from the Dalki.
00:06:32However, the other three in their group were never found.
00:06:35Attention, Fe shouted.
00:06:37The students immediately got in line and saluted her.
00:06:39Then a holographic screen appeared behind them.
00:06:42It was the scoreboard with all the team scores.
00:06:45First things first, as you may know, the expedition has been cancelled, Fe explained.
00:06:49What that means for all of you is that the points you had obtained in the first two days before the expedition ended
00:06:55will be your final score for this exam.
00:06:57What? Aaron blurted it out, and she wasn't the only one.
00:07:01Enough! There are more important things than the test, Fe shouted, calming down the chatter amongst students.
00:07:07Right now there is a high possibility that some of your fellow students have died on this test.
00:07:12And worst of all, it was to the threat we have all been training against, the Dalki.
00:07:17The Dalki has been swiftly dealt with, and it seems like this was not a planned attack, but a stray ship.
00:07:22But this is a reminder to you all why we need to train so hard every single day,
00:07:27and I hope you will remember that.
00:07:29You are dismissed, Fe said, ending her speech.
00:07:32But Aaron wasn't bothered about any of that.
00:07:34You, she shouted and pointed at Quinn.
00:07:37Why did you hide your strength?
00:07:39If you had fought with us that day instead of hiding under that umbrella, we would have gotten a better score.
00:07:44And what's with your strange power?
00:07:46How did you heal Peter? He should have died.
00:07:48No more excuses. I want answers for everything that happened, she screamed.
00:07:53If you were that strong, then why didn't you help?
00:07:56Tears streamed down her face.
00:07:58I think it's best if we all head back to our room, Layla said.
00:08:01We can explain everything there, and I'm sure Peter has a lot of questions of his own.
00:08:06While the first-year students were being informed of what happened,
00:08:09the three generals were having a meeting of their own.
00:08:12Nathan, the head of the first years, Duke, the head of the second years,
00:08:15and the last general, Mike, who was head of communications.
00:08:18I wonder how many of your students would have died on that expedition if it wasn't for that Sergeant Leo of yours, Duke said.
00:08:25I doubt you even have the strength to take on a Dalky yourself.
00:08:28Are you upset because you can't bribe him to come over to your side with one of those Earth ability books of yours? Nathan replied.
00:08:35It's a pity that your tactics of recruiting only work on those weak-minded fools.
00:08:40But then the one person who could calm them down entered the room.
00:08:44The door swung wide open, and a middle-aged man wearing a business suit came walking in.
00:08:49We welcome the head general, they all said at once.
00:08:52The head general proceeded to sit down in his seat as he brought up an initial report for all three of them to see.
00:08:59We all know these odd attacks have been happening on our beast planets for a while.
00:09:03Every single time an attack takes place, they seem to be getting closer and closer to our starting planet.
00:09:09Do you think they're aiming for the city station? Mike asked.
00:09:12For now, I believe these solo Dalky are just sent to scouts.
00:09:15They have no clue how strong we have become in this time frame, and they have no clue what security measures we have.
00:09:21But I fear this may mean that the war will be starting again soon.
00:09:25In a couple of weeks, we have a visit from Mr. True Dream, which means I will need you to prepare some students for him.
00:09:31The three generals gave awkward glances at each other as they heard this piece of news.
00:09:36Duke, I expect you to do well like you always have, the head general said.
00:09:40It was already night, but there was still some time left for the group to talk before their curfew would start.
00:09:46Therefore, they all decided to head to the boys' room to discuss what on earth had happened during the fight with the Dalky.
00:09:52The three boys promptly sat on Vorden's bed while the two girls sat on Quinn's.
00:09:57I suppose I should be the one who starts explaining first, Quinn said while standing up.
00:10:02He moved towards the center of the two groups.
00:10:05Recently, as you may all know, Vorden and I have entered the Red Portal planet.
00:10:10While we were there, I discovered a strange ability book, one that allowed me to control shadows.
00:10:15It was a strange book because it disappeared the moment I learned the ability.
00:10:19Quinn then tapped the surface of his wristwatch three times.
00:10:23The number suddenly changed from a one to a six.
00:10:26When he tapped it another three times, it changed back to one again.
00:10:29I knew it, Aaron said, but why did you have to hide it from us?
00:10:33At that point, Quinn took a deep breath.
00:10:36That's because I have an even bigger secret that I was hiding.
00:10:40I'm a vampire, Quinn said, looking at Aaron and Peter with a nervous look on his face.
00:10:45So, this is what you guys came up with to try to give an excuse why Quinn didn't use his powers, she said.
00:10:52Well, I'm not buying it. I don't believe that a human that needs blood to survive exists.
00:10:57If there were such creatures as vampires, why haven't they revealed themselves to the world already?
00:11:03Aaron then went towards the door, pulling it open before saying her final words.
00:11:07You guys disappoint me. I was starting to think that we were a team, not a bunch of liars.
00:11:13With that, she closed the door behind her and stormed off.
00:11:16Do you think she'll tell anyone? Quinn asked.
00:11:19Are you kidding? With a reaction like that? Vorden replied.
00:11:22She didn't even believe it herself.
00:11:24Well, how did we expect her to react?
00:11:26Oh, it's okay. You can have my blood anytime. She's not Layla, for goodness sake.
00:11:31I'll go up and check on her, just to make sure she doesn't tell anyone.
00:11:34I'll give you an update about it tomorrow, Quinn.
00:11:37Although Aaron didn't seem to believe it, Peter, for some reason, did.
00:11:41He didn't know how to explain it, but ever since he had left, his body felt different.
00:11:46There was some sort of connection that he felt between Quinn and him.
00:11:50The last thing that convinced him was the fact that he wasn't dead.
00:11:53Quinn, does it mean that I'm a vampire now, too? Peter asked.
00:11:57Just what was a vampire ghoul, Quinn thought.
00:12:01I'm afraid it isn't good news, the system said.
00:12:04Out of all the possibilities he could have turned into, this was the outcome I was hoping for the least.
00:12:09The system's words didn't give Quinn great hope, and what he was about to hear lessened his optimism even further.
00:12:19Hi, Quinn here. Wondering what happens next?
00:12:22If you want to jump the queue and unleash all episodes, click on the link here and install the Pocket FM app.
00:12:33Anyway, let me try to explain everything I know, Quinn said as he grabbed the pencils and wrote a pros and cons list right next to Peter's name.
00:12:41Are you ready? the system asked.
00:12:43While the system explained the difference between a vampire and a vampire ghoul,
00:12:47Quinn would write it down on a piece of paper while explaining it out loud to the others.
00:12:52Why don't we start with the positives, the system said.
00:12:55First, unlike a vampire, a ghoul is not affected by sunlight.
00:12:59The system continued, and so did Quinn.
00:13:02Ghouls are stronger, faster, and can see better than a human.
00:13:06But their main strength is their incredible healing abilities.
00:13:09They are even more impressive than yours, Quinn.
00:13:11Broken bones, chunks of flesh will be instantly healed on the spot, Vorden said.
00:13:16Peter, this means we can just say you have a self-healing ability.
00:13:19There are a few of them out there, although we will have to keep it a secret from the school since they all think you have an earth ability.
00:13:25Now the next bit of information is more for you, Quinn, the system said.
00:13:29Ghouls are most loyal to their maker.
00:13:31The main reason for this is because your blood resides inside their body.
00:13:35Unfortunately, what this means is you will need to supply Peter with your blood, otherwise his body will start to deteriorate and eventually will cease to exist.
00:13:44As long as he gets a supply of your blood, then he will live on forever by your side.
00:13:49What do you mean by loyal? Quinn asked.
00:13:51Similar to how your charm skills work, whatever you command, Peter will feel like he has no choice but to obey.
00:13:58Although this does depend on the amount of your blood that remains inside his body.
00:14:02The longer he goes without a new dose of blood, the less inclined he will be to follow your orders.
00:14:08What about human blood? Will I need to drink that? Peter asked as he gulped.
00:14:12Feeling a strange new hunger in his stomach.
00:14:15No, there is no need to drink human blood, Quinn replied.
00:14:18Actually, unlike me who gets stronger from human blood, it will not affect you.
00:14:22Now, time for the cons, the system said.
00:14:25Hearing these words made Quinn's hand shake a little, and the others could see this as he was getting ready to write down what the system was telling him.
00:14:33First off, the ability for Peter to eat regular food has completely disappeared.
00:14:38If he eats regular food, he will immediately throw it back up.
00:14:42Then does he just have to live off my blood then? Quinn asked the system.
00:14:46No, the blood is a rare thing and will hardly be needed.
00:14:49I would more often feed Peter just to keep him loyal to you, but still, a ghoul needs a food source, the system replied.
00:14:55A ghoul needs to feed on human flesh.
00:14:57The pencil in Quinn's hand had dropped onto the table and rolled onto the floor.
00:15:02Peter, you're not feeling hungry by any chance, are you? Quinn asked.
00:15:07I'm feeling a bit peckish, I haven't eaten since this morning after all, Peter replied honestly.
00:15:12Peter, maybe it's best if you sit down for this, Quinn said.
00:15:16What? Why? Peter looked at him fidgeting.
00:15:19You're making me even more scared.
00:15:21Just sit down, Quinn said.
00:15:23But as he said these words, his eyes started to glow a little.
00:15:26Peter didn't know why, but he felt like he needed to complete the task immediately.
00:15:30After sitting on the bed, Quinn was trying to find the best way to put the bad news into words.
00:15:35I can see this is troublesome, so let me give you a solution for now, the system said.
00:15:40As a temporary measure, he might be able to last a few days on raw animal meat, but sooner or later you will have to grab him human flesh.
00:15:47He looked Peter in the eyes and finally found the courage to tell him.
00:15:51Being a ghoul means you can no longer eat regular food.
00:15:54You're going to have to eat raw meat from now on.
00:15:57Just then, Vorden and Quinn decided to head to the nearby convenience store to grab some things as a test while they asked Peter to stay in the room.
00:16:06Once again, although Peter was scared and wanted to come with them, a certain feeling was passing from Quinn and on to Peter, making him feel like he had to obey.
00:16:15As the two of them walked to the convenience store, Quinn was awfully quiet, which made Vorden suspicious that Quinn was holding something else back.
00:16:23Go on, tell me then, Vorden said. You could have gone to the shop on your own, but you wanted me to come along.
00:16:29It's about Peter, Quinn said quietly. I didn't tell Peter everything.
00:16:34Being a ghoul doesn't mean he has to eat raw meat. He needs to eat raw human meat. Raw animal meat will only work for a short time.
00:16:41Suddenly, Vorden stopped in his tracks.
00:16:44Quinn, I'm being serious when I suggest this here, but wouldn't it be better to just kill Peter?
00:16:50And before you say anything, hear me out. He's not the type of guy who can handle this, and if he gets caught, then don't think he won't give you in.
00:16:57He won't. He can't, Quinn replied.
00:17:00How can you be so sure? Vorden asked, a bit surprised by Quinn's sudden answer.
00:17:05It was hard for Quinn to explain, but he could feel the connection between the two of them now.
00:17:10Essentially, Peter's whole existence now depended on him, and as long as Quinn asked for it, Peter would do it.
00:17:17Well, I can tell you won't take my suggestion, but let me tell you this then, Vorden said.
00:17:22Taking a life isn't as easy as you think.
00:17:24Finally, the two had returned to the dorm room, where Peter had stayed waiting for them.
00:17:29He was in the same spot as when the two had left him.
00:17:32That smells nice, Peter said. What did you bring?
00:17:35They placed the raw steak out on a plate and put it right in front of Peter.
00:17:39Is he going to eat it? Vorden said.
00:17:41I don't know, it looks pretty good to me as well, Quinn replied.
00:17:45I can't tell if you're trying to be funny or what, man, Vorden said, with a disgusted look on his face.
00:17:50It didn't take long for Peter to dive in.
00:17:53His once dull teeth had turned sharp like a lion, helping him rip the meat to pieces,
00:17:58and after only a couple of minutes, the whole steak had been devoured.
00:18:02But the only one that got a good night's sleep was Peter.
00:18:06The other two were lost in thought.
00:18:08Vorden couldn't stop thinking about the fact that he was sleeping in a room with a cannibal.
00:18:13At least Quinn would only suck his blood, but with Peter, he might wake up with an arm missing.
00:18:18While Quinn was thinking along similar lines.
00:18:21System, do you know how long until he starts craving for human flesh, and will I still be able to control him?
00:18:28Quinn asked.
00:18:29His hunger will outgrow your commands, but he will not attack you.
00:18:32However, about a time frame, I am unsure. Best case scenario is a week.
00:18:36And worst case?
00:18:38Quinn asked.
00:18:39Tomorrow.
00:18:41The next day had arrived, and when Vorden had woken up, he had faint bangs under his eyes.
00:18:47Quinn eventually managed to get some sleep, but he didn't seem to have fared much better either.
00:18:52Didn't get much sleep? Quinn asked.
00:18:54Vorden shook his head while looking at Peter, who seemed to still be sleeping peacefully away.
00:18:59At least he still looks like a human.
00:19:01Within the next two days off, Quinn knew he needed to hurry and find a solution to Peter's situation.
00:19:07While Quinn was thinking about what to do, a knock was heard at the door.
00:19:11When they opened the door, they were surprised to see Layla there.
00:19:14It seems like she has calmed down a bit, Layla said.
00:19:17Anyway, what about him?
00:19:19Quinn then went on to explain what had happened to Peter, and how he had turned into a ghoul.
00:19:24When Quinn mentioned this, her face immediately dropped.
00:19:28Oh, I almost forgot, Vorden said, as he went under his bed and pulled out a small bag,
00:19:33before throwing it over to Quinn, who caught it.
00:19:36Quinn opened the bag and noticed that it seemed to be full of crystals.
00:19:39You mean these are, Quinn asked with a look of excitement on his face.
00:19:43Yep, the winged lizard crystals you asked for, Vorden replied with a smile.
00:19:48Looking in the bag, there looked to be around thirty of them.
00:19:52Quinn couldn't imagine what the group must have done to be able to obtain this many.
00:19:56Right now though, he had enough crystals to create a costume for himself.
00:20:00If he could use this to create a full set of clothing, then he would finally be able to fight during the day.
00:20:06Vorden could see that Quinn seemed to be struggling with something.
00:20:09Just go do whatever you need to do, Vorden said.
00:20:12Layla and I can deal with the problem. I have an idea anyway.
00:20:16Are you sure? What about the others? Do you want me to pay you guys for these?
00:20:20Quinn asked.
00:20:21Are you joking? Layla said.
00:20:23Quinn, if it wasn't for you back then when the Dalki attacked, we would have all lost our lives.
00:20:28The least we could do is give you these crystals for free.
00:20:31Quinn looked at them one more time.
00:20:33Alright, just let me know if there are any problems. I should be in the VIP area just above.
00:20:38After that, Quinn quickly rushed out of the room with the crystals in his hand.
00:20:43Inside the second year building, Duke was sitting down at his desk smoking a cigar in his office.
00:20:49Damn that true dream guy is coming again, Duke said to himself.
00:20:53The door to the room then swung open as one of the sergeants with an afro on the top of his head and sunglasses came walking in.
00:21:01Sir, I have brought the list of names that you asked for.
00:21:04Let's see. Looks like we have a good mix of abilities here, Duke said.
00:21:08And you've checked the background of all of these?
00:21:10There will be no complaints from important families if something was to go wrong, correct?
00:21:14Yes, sir.
00:21:16At the top of the list of names, one of the student's pictures was being displayed.
00:21:21It was a picture of Peter Chuck.
00:21:24It was their day off. Early in the morning, Quinn went out to meet up with Logan.
00:21:28He had left both Layla and Vorden behind to keep an eye on Peter.
00:21:32Quinn had told them that at some point, Peter would be required to eat human flesh.
00:21:36It could take up to a week, but it could also be tomorrow.
00:21:39It could also be as soon as today, Vorden thought to himself.
00:21:42Come on, Peter, Vorden said. Let's head outside.
00:21:45Outside? Peter asked, his tone slightly confused.
00:21:49Well, if I were you, the first thing I'd want to do was to test out my new powers.
00:21:53Why don't we take a look at what you can do now?
00:21:56I think that's a great idea, Layla said.
00:21:59The three of them grabbed a few things and got ready to go outside.
00:22:02Just as they were about to leave, Peter stopped by the entrance.
00:22:06Don't worry, Layla said. Even Quinn doesn't burn under the sunlight.
00:22:10He just feels weak and sluggish.
00:22:12Besides, just in case Quinn was wrong, I brought an umbrella with me.
00:22:16Peter closed his eyes and stepped outside under direct sunlight.
00:22:20Just as Quinn had said, he didn't feel any weaker than before.
00:22:24He felt the same on the inside as he did outside.
00:22:27The group walked toward the park.
00:22:29They continued to walk until they had finally found a quiet and clear area in the woods that was devoid of trees.
00:22:35It was also hidden from view.
00:22:37This place is perfect.
00:22:39Besides, if anyone comes close, we will be able to hear them in time, Vorden said.
00:22:44What should we test first? Layla asked.
00:22:47How about strength and speed? Vorden said as he walked up to Layla, holding out his hand.
00:22:51Do you mind?
00:22:53Fine.
00:22:54She held out her hand and allowed Vorden to copy her abilities.
00:22:58The two of them then lifted a bunch of branches and sticks off of the ground.
00:23:03Just do your best to avoid the sticks as much as you can, Vorden shouted.
00:23:07Looks like not only has his speed gotten better, but his reflexes as well, Vorden said.
00:23:12But he's still Peter.
00:23:14Peter nodded when he was ready, and the two of them immediately started to hover the sticks up in the air, aiming to hit Peter with them.
00:23:22For Peter, it was the first time that he felt confident during practice.
00:23:26It was like he could see the attacks coming towards him.
00:23:29Just then, Vorden timed both sticks at the same time.
00:23:33Peter pulled his body back, avoiding the first stick.
00:23:36Then, the second one from behind came right at his face.
00:23:39But he still managed to catch the second stick out of the air at the last second, just as he pulled his face back.
00:23:45However, the tip of the stick still managed to cut his cheek, drawing the smallest amount of blood.
00:23:51Oh, sorry, Peter, Vorden yelled as the two of them rushed over.
00:23:55But by the time they reached him, the blood had fallen to the ground, and the cut that was once on Peter's cheek was no longer there.
00:24:02Looks like the superhealing can be checked as well, Vorden said with a smile on his face.
00:24:07The next test they had for Peter was his strength.
00:24:10For this trial, they used a simple tree.
00:24:13So, you want me to just punch a tree? Peter asked, looking at it carefully.
00:24:18Just go for it, Layla said. You already know that you have superhealing.
00:24:22But that doesn't mean I don't feel any pain, Peter said.
00:24:26But he was also curious to see how much stronger he had gotten.
00:24:30He righted himself and looked at the tree, then pulling back his fist, he swung it outward.
00:24:35As he hit the tree, he had done so at an odd angle, causing his wrist to bend on impact.
00:24:40He screamed out in pain.
00:24:43When they looked at the tree, there was a large dent that had been made.
00:24:47Well, we know you have abnormal strength, that's for sure, but I think there's a clear difference between you and Quinn, Layla said.
00:24:54What do you mean? Peter asked.
00:24:56Well, let's say if Quinn was to do the same thing.
00:24:59Even if he didn't punch the tree dead on, his wrist probably would have been fine.
00:25:03I think that's because his body is stronger than that of a regular human, Layla explained.
00:25:08While yours, although you have super strength, your body is still just like ours, made of regular bones and flesh.
00:25:15If you attack at full power, you will probably end up hurting yourself.
00:25:19As soon as Layla had finished explaining, the wristwatch on Peter's arm lit up.
00:25:24When he looked at it, he could see a voice message that had been left.
00:25:27This is General Duke. Peter Chuck, you are required to come to my office in the second year building immediately.
00:25:33I have some important things to discuss with you.
00:25:36As soon as Vorden heard the message, there was no longer any need for him to ask Peter who was behind everything.
00:25:43He had already figured it out.
00:25:45Why else would the head of the second year have anything to do with the first year?
00:25:49The problem now was, how could he go up against a general of a military base?
00:26:13What should I do? Peter asked as he walked back to the military base with the other two.
00:26:18We'll follow along as far as we can go.
00:26:20Just agree to whatever they ask of you for now and we can figure it out later, Vorden said.
00:26:26Just then, as they were about to exit the forest, Vorden suggested that Peter walk up ahead while they followed him from behind.
00:26:33Peter, I'm taking my chances with you this time.
00:26:36I have forgiven you. It doesn't mean I trust you. Not yet or maybe ever.
00:26:41Layla nudged Vorden in the ribs.
00:26:43Give the guy a break, will you? she whispered.
00:26:45She gave Peter an encouraging smile.
00:26:48However, Vorden was dead serious.
00:26:50They had finally arrived at the second year building.
00:26:53From this point on, Vorden and Layla could no longer follow.
00:26:57Peter entered the building and walked into Duke's office.
00:27:00Please, come and sit down, Peter, Duke said.
00:27:03It seems the two of us haven't been able to talk since the last task I had set for you.
00:27:07Duke then went under his desk and pulled out several books and placed them on the table.
00:27:12There were three earth ability books numbered from two up to four.
00:27:16Although things didn't go quite according to plan, you still held up your end of the bargain,
00:27:21and I don't want to seem like a person who doesn't keep his promises, he said smiling.
00:27:25If Peter didn't notice it before, he could notice it now.
00:27:29There was something sinister about Duke's smile.
00:27:32Just why was he trying so hard to get rid of Vorden in the first place, Peter thought.
00:27:37Isn't everyone on the same side to fight against the Dahlke?
00:27:41Thank you, sir. Is there anything else you would like me to do, Peter asked.
00:27:45We have a visitor next week, and I'm going to need you to learn the earth ability up to level four.
00:27:50In a couple of weeks, come back and report to me. You're dismissed.
00:27:54Peter then bowed down to the general before leaving the room.
00:27:58Looks like I've been able to convert another one.
00:28:00In the end, everyone wants to be at the top, the Duke thought.
00:28:04As Peter left the room, he spotted Earl waiting just outside to be called in.
00:28:09What are you looking at, dog? He snapped back.
00:28:12Earl still hadn't recovered from what Vorden had done to him before the outing.
00:28:16Hearing those words and seeing Earl again, sudden images started to appear in his head.
00:28:21Unpleasant images. Very unpleasant.
00:28:24Hey, I know. Why don't you wait for me out back after this?
00:28:27I and the boys have a little surprise for you, Earl said.
00:28:30Whatever you say, Earl, Peter replied, secretly smiling on the inside.
00:28:35While the others were busy doing their own thing, Erin had eventually calmed down from it all.
00:28:40When she thought back to the image of the Dahlke, her body started to shiver uncontrollably.
00:28:45Calm down, Erin. Deep breaths, she thought to herself.
00:28:49While she was fine with keeping Quinn's identity a secret, she was nervous about covering her own back,
00:28:55and curious to see just how dangerous this vampire thing was.
00:28:59Eventually, that led her to the library.
00:29:02At first, Erin went down the non-fiction canal to see if there was anything she could find, but there was nothing.
00:29:08There were no vampires, and there didn't seem to be anything close to describing them in the first place.
00:29:13This left her no choice but to head to the fiction section,
00:29:16and nearly instantly, she found several novels about vampires.
00:29:20But just from looking at the covers, she found it hard to tell what vampires were.
00:29:25Vampire the Last Blood, Bite Me or Love Me, Thicker Than Blood.
00:29:30Erin decided to just pick up one of the books at random.
00:29:34She picked up the book titled Bite Me or Love Me.
00:29:37She stood there in the aisle and started reading it.
00:29:40So, you're interested in vampires, huh? a boy's voice said, coming from her left side.
00:29:45As she turned her head to see who it was,
00:29:48I didn't expect to see a beautiful girl like you here, the boy said as he swept back his black hair.
00:29:53The name's Fex, nice to meet you.
00:29:56Outside the second-year building, out in the open field, Layla and Vorden were still patiently waiting.
00:30:01Peter had gone in a while ago, but now they started to wonder what was taking him so long.
00:30:06They concluded that it wasn't likely that Peter was going to come out anytime soon.
00:30:11They had a feeling something might have happened.
00:30:13With that in mind, the two of them decided to stop waiting out front and started to head around the back.
00:30:19There was no entrance to get into the school from the back,
00:30:22but perhaps they could find some other entrance, either by climbing some walls or through some other means.
00:30:28When they got around to the back side of the building, they could see another student standing guard there.
00:30:33Using Layla's powers, they both lifted a couple of stones and threw them to distract the student.
00:30:39Are you ready? Layla asked with a smile.
00:30:42She couldn't believe she was having fun sneaking around and causing trouble, and with Vorden of all people.
00:30:48As I thought, you do look a little cute when you're smiling, Vorden said in response.
00:30:53Peter was patiently waiting outside the place where he had suggested.
00:30:57Hey! Hey, Peter! It's been a while, hasn't it?
00:31:00Earl said as he walked closer before, adding,
00:31:03You know, lately, Duke has been blaming me for all of the failed attempts against Vorden,
00:31:07so I haven't been getting any rewards. How are you going to solve that for me?
00:31:12While walking closer to Peter, Earl looked at what was in Peter's hands,
00:31:16which were the Level 2, 3, and 4 Earth Ability Books.
00:31:19Although Earl was already a Level 4 Earth user and had no need for the books himself,
00:31:24he could always sell them on the market to earn some money.
00:31:27Hand them over, you piece of crap, Earl said as he slapped Peter across the face, leaving a red mark.
00:31:33Peter looked at the mark on his face.
00:31:35Usually, in a situation like this, his hands would be shaking.
00:31:39Earl then proceeded to kick Peter in the stomach
00:31:42before grabbing him by the collar and throwing him onto the ground.
00:31:45Peter was now in a space between two buildings,
00:31:48namely the second-year building and one of the storage rooms.
00:31:51It was a place that was quite dark,
00:31:53and unless someone purposely went around the back to find them, no one would find out.
00:31:58Well then, isn't this a quiet little place for the two of us to carry on our usual business?
00:32:03Earl asked with a smile.
00:32:06Peter then stood up and responded with a smile,
00:32:09Indeed it is.
00:32:11After distracting the students who were standing by the side of the building using the floating stones,
00:32:17they were able to gradually make their way towards the back of the second-year building without being seen.
00:32:22Come on, let's keep looking, Layla said.
00:32:25There must be some way to get into the school.
00:32:27Maybe there's a pipe or something we can use to climb up to the windows.
00:32:31You have been watching way too many martial arts movies, Layla said.
00:32:35Still, they decided to check it out now that they were here anyway.
00:32:39As they made their way to the space between the two buildings,
00:32:42certain cracking and gobbling noises were made as if some type of wild dog was wolfing down its meal.
00:32:48Finally, they turned the corner only to see Peter there.
00:32:52However, he wasn't alone.
00:32:54His hands and mouth were covered in blood
00:32:56while a dead body wearing a student's uniform laid in front of him.
00:33:00The student's body had parts of its limbs torn off.
00:33:03Also, some bones with little bits of flesh still attached could be seen,
00:33:07and they looked as if someone had hungrily ripped the meat right off the bone.
00:33:12Peter? Layla said.
00:33:14What have you done?
00:33:16The VIP dorm rooms of the first-year building were on the third floor.
00:33:20Quinn had decided to head here to meet someone.
00:33:23At first, Quinn knocked on the door, but there seemed to be no answer.
00:33:27When trying to push the door open, he was surprised to see that it wasn't locked nor shut properly.
00:33:32Hello? Quinn asked as he crept into the room.
00:33:35Just at the other end of the room, he could see Logan in his chair.
00:33:39He had some sort of metallic tool glove in his right hand,
00:33:43while a giant pair of goggles seemed to be hovering over his eyes.
00:33:47Oh, he was just busy as usual, Quinn thought to himself.
00:33:51Quinn then started to look around the room at all the gadgets around him.
00:33:55He knew when Logan was in his concentration mode, no matter what you did, you wouldn't get his attention.
00:34:00But as Quinn was looking around, he spotted a strange object on one of the shelves.
00:34:05It stood out compared to the rest, because most of the things in the room seemed to be covered in dust, but not this one.
00:34:12It was a square-shaped device, no bigger than a laptop,
00:34:15and on the top, it seemed to have some type of digital display.
00:34:19Inspect.
00:34:20Inspect.
00:34:21A return portal device, when the correct access code has been entered,
00:34:24it will return you to the destination that has been preset.
00:34:27Creator, Richard Eno.
00:34:30Quinn moved in to take a closer look.
00:34:32It seemed to be the only item that wasn't made by Logan,
00:34:35and on top of that, it was a teleporter, but it was one that he had never seen before.
00:34:40The portal teleporters they currently carried were quite large devices,
00:34:44but this one was small and compact, as if the technology was ahead of their current time.
00:34:49Quinn reached out to grab it, but just then a voice from behind spoke to him.
00:34:54Hey, if you want to get your fingers blown off, then please be my guest, carry on and touch it,
00:34:59Logan said sarcastically.
00:35:01His seat was turned around, and he was staring at Quinn.
00:35:04Then again, I would love to see whose ability is stronger, mine or yours, he continued.
00:35:08Sorry about that, Quinn said as he pulled back his hand.
00:35:11It looks kind of interesting.
00:35:13What is it exactly?
00:35:15When Quinn finished talking, the robotic gauntlet that was one of Logan's hands started to break down.
00:35:21It appeared to break into smaller parts, until they looked like little bugs.
00:35:25Then, the bugs went over to where Quinn was, they grabbed the case and brought it over to Logan.
00:35:30The thing has been the bane of me and my family's life, Logan said looking around it.
00:35:35As you know, my family are originals who hid their abilities from the world.
00:35:39Before the war started, they were researchers who worked privately for different corporations,
00:35:44sometimes even governments, different armies and all sorts of companies.
00:35:47Anyway, on one of their trips around 50 years ago, they discovered this device.
00:35:52At the time, no one knew what it was, and it seemed like our ability didn't work on it either.
00:35:57Of course, my family tried to research it, and eventually, when we discovered the Dalki technology,
00:36:02we found similarities between this and the Dalki technology.
00:36:06It appears to be some type of teleporter, but the question is,
00:36:10why would Dalki technology exist on Earth before they even arrived?
00:36:14Then that just brings us even more questions.
00:36:16Why did the Dalki attack us?
00:36:18Were they here before?
00:36:19But did we just never know about it?
00:36:21Hearing all of these questions were causing Quinn to think about it.
00:36:25Anyway, Logan said, it's not like I'm expecting you to know any of these answers.
00:36:29The one thing we do know is whoever was able to create a compact teleporter such as this is a genius.
00:36:35Oh, how I wish I could meet him one day.
00:36:37Wait, what did you say?
00:36:39Quinn replied.
00:36:40Did you say you don't know who created it?
00:36:42Of course I don't.
00:36:43If I did, my family and I would have been chasing him for generations.
00:36:47This made Quinn sink even deeper in thought.
00:36:50Richard Eno was a well-known scientist, the person who had discovered not only the power of beast crystals,
00:36:56but also how the Dalki portals worked.
00:36:58Could he have known everything all along?
00:37:00Right now, though, this was too big of a problem to solve, especially for someone like him.
00:37:05He was just one person in this whole thing, and he had his problems to deal with.
00:37:10Anyway, Logan said, what did you visit me here for?
00:37:13Did you want to play the game again?
00:37:15Actually, Quinn said, I was wondering if you could help me make a suit.
00:37:19Well, it seems you've come to the right person, said Logan.
00:37:22I can design you one myself.
00:37:24Really?
00:37:25Quinn asked, surprised.
00:37:26Of course, it will be easier than making some of my other contraptions, he said smiling.
00:37:31The two of them then sat down together.
00:37:34The crystals were placed in a seemingly special container while they were going through some type of melting process.
00:37:40On top of Logan's desk, a large metal sheet was placed.
00:37:44Logan then placed his hand on the sheet and closed his eyes.
00:37:47Just like with the gauntlet before, the metal started to break down and move,
00:37:51eventually turning into little metal bugs again.
00:37:54The metal bugs started to form a human figure until it molded something that vaguely resembled Quinn.
00:38:00The two of them continued to go through the design process, altering what the metal model looked like.
00:38:05Each time Quinn would give a suggestion, the robots would move in place.
00:38:09There was not much that could be done with the suit.
00:38:12It had to be black in color and skin fit tight.
00:38:15However, the mask could be altered greatly.
00:38:18When using the outfit and mask, Quinn wanted to strike fear into his opponent's hearts.
00:38:22He wanted something quite scary looking.
00:38:25They went through several designs until it was finally done.
00:38:28It's amazing, Quinn said as he walked over to it and started to stroke the model.
00:38:33The black suit was skin tight but had a scaled pattern like that of a snake throughout its entire surface.
00:38:39However, there were a few design touches added to it from Logan that Quinn hadn't asked for.
00:38:45Do you like the additions that I made? Logan asked.
00:38:48On the forearms going up to the shoulder, three red claw-like marks could be seen on both sides.
00:38:54Although it looked nice, Quinn was hoping for the suit to be all black.
00:38:58If he was also to use this at night, he probably would have been seen.
00:39:02Nevertheless, when he looked at Logan's bags and his tired face, he found it hard to say no.
00:39:08It's great, Quinn replied.
00:39:10Now, I do have to warn you, although expensive metals were used when making this,
00:39:14there is a limit to how much it can endure, Logan explained.
00:39:18They were only basic tier crystals after all.
00:39:21It will fare well against intermediate weapons, but anything stronger than that and it will tear apart.
00:39:26Quinn made sure to make a note of that since it would be the same while facing beasts.
00:39:31If he was fighting during the day, he would be sure to pick and choose his opponents.
00:39:35Although suddenly, Quinn's body started to feel a strange sensation.
00:39:39It was a similar feeling to when he consumed blood, only a tad different.
00:39:43His eyes started to glow once again, a strange power was surging through his body.
00:39:48What the hell is happening? Quinn thought.
00:39:50Hey, are you okay? Logan said.
00:39:53Do you need me to go get a doctor or something?
00:39:56As Logan stood in front of Quinn, he could see the color in his eyes change, and even Logan stepped back a bit.
00:40:02At the same time, little metallic bugs started to come over and built a metallic suit of their own over his body.
00:40:08Eventually, the bugs had completely formed a metallic suit that looked like that of a small mech suit,
00:40:14only without all the clunky parts and more in line with the shape of a human.
00:40:18These were all precautions that Logan took just in case Quinn was to go out of control.
00:40:23But then, the feeling died down, and his eyes returned to normal, but a message had appeared.
00:40:29A family member has grown stronger.
00:40:35Hi, Quinn here. Wondering what happens next?
00:40:38If you want to jump the queue and unleash all episodes, click on the link here and install the Pocket FM app.
00:40:45F.E.X.
00:40:48Standing alone in the fantasy section of the library was Erin and a strange boy known as F.E.X.
00:40:54Erin was still holding a vampire love story in her hand, and her face had gone bright red
00:40:59as she couldn't believe someone had just caught her reading such a dirty book.
00:41:03Quickly hoping to avoid further embarrassment, Erin put the book back where it was placed and started to walk over towards the boy.
00:41:11F.E.X. started to smile.
00:41:13Now, why don't you lift your head so I can take another look at your pretty face?
00:41:17Erin lifted her head, but dashed forward in an instant. A type of ice sword was forming in her right hand.
00:41:23Using her forearm, she pushed F.E.X. up against the wall right by his neck.
00:41:27The area started to freeze, and now the ice sword was pointed right at his throat.
00:41:32If you tell anyone about what you saw today, you're dead, you hear me?
00:41:36Look, I don't want to cause any trouble, he said.
00:41:39Erin looked at him carefully, noticing all the features that he had.
00:41:43Good, I will remember you, and if anyone finds out about what you saw today, I'll be coming back for you,
00:41:49Erin said as she took away the ice sword.
00:41:51She then started her exit, leaving F.E.X. in this sticky situation, frozen to the wall with the ice still confining his body.
00:41:59Wait, he shouted. Aren't you going to let me go?
00:42:02Eventually, Erin had left the library.
00:42:04The other people who were nearby going to look at the commotion down the aisle, wondering what was going on.
00:42:09However, all they could see was a single man stuck up against the wall.
00:42:13A few laughed and giggled as it wasn't the first time they had seen something like this.
00:42:18After all, few of the braver boys among the first-year students had tried to confess their love to Erin.
00:42:24She would often leave them there frozen in place while waiting for the ice to melt.
00:42:28She did this as a warning for other suitors in the future.
00:42:32While no one was looking, F.E.X. used his strength to break free both of his arms from the ice.
00:42:37He then used his hands to crack the ice that was around his neck as well.
00:42:41Looks like someone was able to resist my charm already, F.E.X. said.
00:42:45Well now, that just makes me want to go after her more.
00:42:48F.E.X.'s original plan was to travel and explore the human world, to experience all the things his grandfather had told him,
00:42:55but his plans were quickly stopped once he was caught.
00:42:58When he woke up, he was in front of General Nathan.
00:43:01However, Nathan did say that as long as he contacted his guardians, informed them and showed proof of his age, they would set him free.
00:43:09A digital display then appeared in front of F.E.X.'s face with a little digital keyboard.
00:43:14It asked him what type of ability he had.
00:43:17For this question, he had a plan.
00:43:19After checking over the details and seeing F.E.X.'s ability, no more work needed to be done.
00:43:25A wristwatch was given to F.E.X. before leaving.
00:43:27The display on the device was showing the number 1.
00:43:30Not knowing what to do and knowing nearly no one at the base, F.E.X. decided to head to the library to update himself on current events.
00:43:38This led him to his first real encounter with another student, Aaron.
00:43:42The rest of the story was what got him frozen to a wall.
00:43:45After looking at a few books about vampires, he quickly realized that most of them were just a bunch of nonsense.
00:43:51As F.E.X. was leaving the library, he had no idea what to do.
00:43:55So he decided that he would just go to his dorm room.
00:43:58While walking down the hallway towards the staircase, he caught a whiff of scent with his nose and a familiar smell registered in his mind.
00:44:05Now this is interesting. I wonder what family he belongs to.
00:44:09What on earth is he doing at this base? F.E.X. thought.
00:44:12In the dark alley away from the prying eyes, the two of them stood there in shock as they watched Peter feasting on a human body.
00:44:19Seeing the atrocious sight, Layla could no longer stomach it.
00:44:22I think I'm just going to step out of the alley for a bit and keep watch, Layla said as she quickly rushed out.
00:44:28Peter! Vorden said in an aggressive but quiet voice.
00:44:32Peter!
00:44:33Suddenly, Peter seemed to snap out of whatever daze he was in.
00:44:36He immediately dropped what was in his hand and started to scurry away into the alley.
00:44:41Was this me? Peter said as he thought back to what had happened just moments ago.
00:44:47When Earl had called out to him and kicked him down the alley, a type of rage had consumed him.
00:44:52Then, soon after, Earl became a tasty snack for Peter.
00:44:56Peter would have liked to say his mind was out of it, he didn't know what he was doing, but he knew that was a lie.
00:45:02Peter knew exactly what he was doing.
00:45:05The only thing Peter didn't plan for was what happened after.
00:45:08Right now, in front of Vorden, Peter needed to keep up his act as a weak-minded boy.
00:45:13He was too worried about what the others would think of him if they found out he knew exactly what he had just done.
00:45:19I... I... just killed someone, Peter said.
00:45:24Cut the crap, Vorden said. Now is not the time to act like this. How long is he even dead for?
00:45:29What do you mean? Peter replied.
00:45:31I said how long, it's important, Peter. Five minutes? Ten minutes?
00:45:35The panic in Vorden's voice seemed to be getting urgent.
00:45:38I don't know, maybe ten minutes, I would say, Peter answered.
00:45:42Wasting no time, he then grabbed Peter by the arm and dragged him out of the alley.
00:45:47We have to get out of here now, he said with urgency in his voice.
00:45:51When the area was clear, they would walk again until they finally returned to the open spot in the forest where they were practicing a while ago.
00:45:58What was the big rush back there? We just left the body in the alleyway, won't the school find out that a student died?
00:46:04Leila asked.
00:46:05We had no choice, Vorden replied.
00:46:07Maybe if we had gotten there a little earlier, we could have done something, taken the body with us.
00:46:12But once the watch is taken off or detects no sign of life, it pings a message to the school.
00:46:17Fortunately for us, the watch waits a full five minutes before sending this type of thing.
00:46:21That's why I was in a rush. If we were seen, there's nothing we could have done. At least now we won't be caught.
00:46:27But what about the body? Won't they search for whoever did this?
00:46:31Just as Leila said this, the sound of leaves ruffling on the floor could be heard as another person entered this part of the forest.
00:46:38It was a student holding an umbrella in his hand.
00:46:41What body are you guys talking about? Quinn asked.
00:46:45Once the strange feeling had come over, Quinn's body had disappeared.
00:46:49A message appeared, one stating that one of his family members had gotten stronger.
00:46:54The strange sensation and connection between him and Peter.
00:46:58It was a similar feeling to when he consumed blood, but it wasn't getting him stronger, it was Peter.
00:47:03I'm sorry Logan, thanks all for your help, but I don't have time to talk now, I have to go! Quinn shouted.
00:47:09With that, Quinn ran down the hallway and the staircase rushing over to where Peter was.
00:47:15Without slowing down, Quinn ran down the stairs and out the hallway, ignoring everyone he went past.
00:47:21But for the first time, a strange scent entered his nose.
00:47:25This was unusual for Quinn, as he had never smelt this before.
00:47:29If he wasn't in such a rush and panic, he would have turned around to see who was giving off such a strange smell.
00:47:36Before leaving the school, he grabbed a random umbrella at the entrance.
00:47:41Once he had left the academy, he continued to listen to his body, following the connection,
00:47:46which eventually led him to the park, and finally inside the forest.
00:47:50As he arrived, he managed to hear the last few words that Leila had said.
00:47:54However, there wasn't much to ask, judging by the system's message, Quinn could guess what had happened already.
00:48:01Peter had eaten human flesh, and most likely killed someone in the process.
00:48:06While Quinn wanted to blame Peter for the actions, he really couldn't.
00:48:09Quinn was the one who turned him into this creature, and he knew exactly what it was like.
00:48:15As Voren was exiting the forest from where Quinn had gone, he whispered into Quinn's ear,
00:48:20You need to do something about him, and fast!
00:48:23Now, can one of you please tell me what happened? Quinn asked.
00:48:28Meanwhile, Voren made sure to cover the clothes as best as he could.
00:48:32Then, from his and Peter's closets, he grabbed a change of clothing.
00:48:37With a new set of clothes for Peter in one bag, and the bloody clothes in the other,
00:48:41he needed to find a way to get rid of the evidence.
00:48:45Just as he was walking down the hall, wondering what to do about it,
00:48:49he spotted someone who would make his life a lot easier for him.
00:48:53Hey, Berg! Vorden said. How are you doing?
00:48:56Placing the bag in his left hand into his other hand, he touched Berg on the shoulder,
00:49:00and successfully copied his flame abilities.
00:49:03Oh, Vorden! Berg said with a fake smile on his face. It's so nice to see you.
00:49:08Um, about those crystals. You don't have to worry about giving them back.
00:49:13Think of it as a gift from my family to yours.
00:49:15Oh, thanks. I was just coming to check if that was okay with you, Vorden replied.
00:49:19But while Vorden was doing his best to fake a conversation,
00:49:23he noticed that many of the students in the hallway were gossiping about something.
00:49:27Did you hear about what they found? One of the students said.
00:49:30You mean that thing they found behind the second-year building? Another replied.
00:49:34Yeah, all the students are outside, while the school's investigation team is trying to find out what happened.
00:49:39I think maybe a student got killed.
00:49:42Using this opportunity, Vorden was able to sneak off into a secluded area
00:49:46and burn all the evidence without anyone noticing.
00:49:51Several soldiers were standing outside the second-year building.
00:49:55They were blocking all the entrances both at the front and backside of the building.
00:49:59Looking around the gruesome scene of the murder,
00:50:02Haley and Fay were reminded of things they had seen on the battlefield during the war.
00:50:06That's how bad it looked to them.
00:50:08As Haley was kneeling on the floor and examining body parts,
00:50:12she seemed to be unaffected by the whole thing.
00:50:15After she had looked around for a while, it seemed like she had spotted something interesting.
00:50:19She started to pick up body parts one by one and place them in a specific order.
00:50:24I noticed something strange about all the parts I've gathered and lined up.
00:50:28They all have one thing in common, Haley replied.
00:50:31As far as I can see, the only thing they have in common is that they are spattered with blood all over.
00:50:36So what did you notice?
00:50:38Fay asked as she looked around. She was trying to see what Haley had noticed.
00:50:42Haley picked up one of the body parts which looked like part of a leg.
00:50:46She then showed it to Fay and said,
00:50:48You see this here?
00:50:50While she pointed at two puncture marks.
00:50:52For the most part, it looks like whoever or whatever did this
00:50:55used some type of claw to dig into this student's flesh.
00:50:58But on a few body parts, I noticed those puncture wounds that look like teeth marks.
00:51:03Okay, I see what you're saying, Fay said with confusion on her face.
00:51:07Well, the thing is, this isn't the first time that I've seen these kinds of marks.
00:51:12Do you remember when we went through the red portal and we discovered the true dream member? Haley asked.
00:51:17Well, he wasn't the only one. I've seen the same marks on other students in the sickbay before.
00:51:23You're not saying those two students could have anything to do with it, are you? Fay asked incredulously.
00:51:29I'm not saying that they are the culprit.
00:51:31But whatever it is, it's following them around or linked to them in some way, Haley replied.
00:51:38Inside the first year building dorm room, the group had gathered.
00:51:42Damn it, Layla shouted.
00:51:44Now that I've witnessed everything, I'll be called an accomplice.
00:51:47If they find out about this, we could be put in the dungeon.
00:51:50What will I tell my parents then?
00:51:52It was the first time the group had seen Layla so freaked out.
00:51:56Peter, I think you owe us an explanation, Vorden said.
00:51:59Fair enough, if you were hungry and needed to eat something, why didn't you come to us?
00:52:03I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me, Peter said.
00:52:07When the hunger grew and Earl slapped me, I just lost control.
00:52:10When I finally regained control, I was already eating his corpse.
00:52:14I don't know what happened in between.
00:52:16Peter turned out to be quite an impressive actor.
00:52:19He looked frightened and worried, and everyone there bought it.
00:52:22Although, there was one exception.
00:52:25He's lying, the system said.
00:52:29Hi, Quinn here. Wondering what happens next?
00:52:32If you want to jump the queue and unleash all episodes, click on the link here and install the Pocket FM app.
00:52:43What do you mean? Quinn asked.
00:52:45If you want to find out the truth, here is my advice, this is what you need to do.
00:52:49You need to tell me the truth, Peter. Why did you kill him?
00:52:53As Quinn asked this question, he bit down on his thumb using his fang.
00:52:57He then lifted his hand, and like some type of magnet, Peter was attracted to it.
00:53:02Peter immediately leapt up from where he was and started to suck on Quinn's thumb.
00:53:07The connection between the two started to grow stronger again, and both of their eyes started to glow.
00:53:12Now, tell me, why did you kill that student?
00:53:15Quinn again used that authoritative voice.
00:53:18Peter's eyes lit up red and felt an urge to answer truthfully.
00:53:21It was like a magic truth spell. It forced Peter to be truthful with his master.
00:53:25Earl, if it was anyone that deserved to die, it was him.
00:53:29Any day, whenever I was on my own, and when your backs were turned from me, he would come to torture me.
00:53:34After I met with Duke, I got rewarded with the ability books, but he didn't get anything from Duke, so he wanted to take out his anger on me.
00:53:42But this time, I finally had the power to fight back, so I decided to show him he can't mess with me anymore.
00:53:49Eating him was just a little bonus, and I might have overdone it a bit.
00:53:53Hearing the truth come out of Peter's mouth made Quinn feel a lot better.
00:53:57Peter, your actions aren't wrong, and if I was in your shoes, I would have done the same thing, Vorden said.
00:54:03But here is where you and I are different. Your actions also put Quinn in danger.
00:54:07If you're caught, there is always a chance that it could lead back to him, and what's even more dangerous is that we are involved as well.
00:54:14Vorden glared at Peter before continuing.
00:54:17I plan to take my revenge on Duke and Momo in our second year, but when I do, I will do it carefully so no one else gets hurt.
00:54:24System, is there any way for Peter to stop consuming meat, any way at all? Quinn asked.
00:54:29Of course there is, but you're not going to like the answer I'm about to give you, the system said.
00:54:33Just like yourself when you consume blood, you grow stronger. The same goes for Peter when he eats human flesh, although for him there is a limit.
00:54:41Eventually he will grow so strong that he will be able to evolve and will no longer require human flesh.
00:54:47The next day had arrived, and the usual suspects were inside the same room once again, all deciding on what to do with Peter.
00:54:54So, do you feel hungry right now? Layla asked.
00:54:57Not any more than usual when I wake up, Peter replied.
00:55:01Vorden and Quinn had already bought plenty of raw food for him to eat, and for now, it seemed to have been working in suppressing his hunger.
00:55:09Guys, relax, Peter said nervously. I promise, as soon as I get hungry again, I'll let you guys know straight away.
00:55:16Still, Vorden said, that doesn't solve our problem of feeding you when you do need to be fed.
00:55:22We may have gotten away with it this time, but we need something consistent.
00:55:26Quinn had thought of these suggestions early, but once again the system had informed him of bad news.
00:55:31The meat being used had to be fairly fresh. The pressure was getting to Quinn.
00:55:36Quinn, relax, Vorden said. I have an emergency if it comes to it.
00:55:40For now, spend your day like a normal person while Layla and I will try to come up with something.
00:55:45If it doesn't work out, then we can use my backup plan.
00:55:48What is the backup plan? Layla asked.
00:55:51Vorden then called Quinn over and whispered into his ear while looking at Layla out of the corner of his eye.
00:55:57Vorden, I can't let you do that, Quinn said.
00:56:00As I said, only if it comes to it, it's the only thing that won't put us in any danger, Vorden replied.
00:56:06There were plenty of cases where soldiers would get injured in mock battles or out on expeditions during portal training,
00:56:13and sometimes there would be lethal damage.
00:56:16But while Quinn was outside, he decided to stop off at a certain spot.
00:56:20Quinn needed to make sure he was fine first.
00:56:23You are being hit by direct sunlight. All stats will be reduced by 70%.
00:56:28Shadow equip, Quinn called out.
00:56:30The shadow started to wrap around his whole body this time,
00:56:33and a few seconds later, the black suit that Logan had designed covered his entire body,
00:56:38and the demon-like mask was planted on his face.
00:56:41You are no longer being affected by sunlight. All stats have returned to normal.
00:56:46With his white glaring eyes and demon-like mask, then the red claws ran up the side of his arms.
00:56:51He truly did look like something out of a kid's nightmare.
00:56:55After testing out his new suit, he put it back away in his shadow void and decided to start heading towards the hospital.
00:57:02In nearly every corner of the room, there was a round object with a blinking red light.
00:57:07They were cameras.
00:57:08This was a major problem.
00:57:10If Quinn or the others were to try to take anything, they would be caught on camera,
00:57:15and he couldn't use the suit otherwise when he would reveal himself, everyone would know it was him.
00:57:20There was the option of using a shadow cloak.
00:57:22Although that made him invisible, the same couldn't be said for the objects he or others were touching.
00:57:28With nothing else to see, Quinn decided to head back,
00:57:31although while doing so, he couldn't help but notice all the blood bags around him.
00:57:35Just as Quinn was leaving the hospital, a voice message seemed to appear on his watch.
00:57:40Quinn Talon, you are to report to General Nathan's office immediately.
00:57:44If you are not here in the next 30 minutes, then we shall have guards come and escort you here immediately.
00:57:49The message ended, and Quinn couldn't help but feel nervous.
00:57:52Had they found out about him being a vampire?
00:57:55Or maybe Peter had been found and he had been ratted?
00:57:58He stood in front of Nathan's office and gave a knock before entering.
00:58:02Come in, Nathan said.
00:58:04As Quinn entered through the door, he could see Nathan standing there with Hayley and Fay in the room,
00:58:09but that wasn't what worried him.
00:58:11The person that worried him the most was the female who sat at the desk in front.
00:58:16It was a person whose abilities could tell if one was lying or not.
00:58:19Please, Quinn, take a seat, Nathan said.
00:58:22I'm going to head out for a bit. There's something I need to do, just in case we can't come up with anything, Vorden said.
00:58:28Do you mind telling me what the backup plan is? Layla asked.
00:58:32Trust me, even if you did know, it wouldn't be possible for you, and I don't think you would want to do it.
00:58:37Why don't you try me? she said with a smug look on her face.
00:58:41Vorden then walked towards the door to leave the room where Layla was standing,
00:58:45and as he walked past, he whispered the plan into her ear.
00:58:49After hearing Vorden's plans, her eyes opened wide and her face dropped to the floor.
00:58:54At that moment, her whole opinion of Vorden had changed.
00:58:57In fact, what he said was true.
00:58:59If it was her in this situation, she was unsure if she could do the same thing.
00:59:03With Vorden gone to make sure his backup plan was ready if all else failed,
00:59:07Peter and Layla were left alone in the room together.
00:59:10As the two of them sat there awkwardly in silence, Layla was starting to miss the crazy boy a bit.
00:59:16At least he was a conversation starter.
00:59:18All the pain he had suffered from Earl had gone just like that, in an instant.
00:59:23If Quinn had this power all along, why didn't he do anything? Peter thought to himself.
00:59:28It's a waste on him, Peter thought.
00:59:31As they continued to do their own thing, a rumbling sound was heard.
00:59:35It immediately made Layla jump from the bed she was on and look for the door.
00:59:39Peter, she eyed him warily, you're not getting hungry, are you?
00:59:44I think it's starting, Peter admitted.
00:59:48Although Quinn said it was unlikely he would get hungry within one day after feeding,
00:59:52there was still a possibility that something could happen today.
00:59:56Which meant Vorden would have to make sure his backup plan was ready each and every day.
01:00:02As he opened the door though, he was surprised to see Layla standing in the corner of the room
01:00:06while having her bow pointed at Peter.
01:00:09Whoa, what is going on here? Vorden asked.
01:00:12But before either of the two could say anything, a message was received on Vorden's watch.
01:00:17Vorden Blade, you are to head to Nathan's office immediately.
01:00:20Judging by your location, you should be able to reach us in five minutes.
01:00:24If you are not here, then prepare to face the consequences.
01:00:27What is this about? Vorden said.
01:00:29You heard the message, I've got to go.
01:00:31And you two, stop fighting and make up. We have enough problems as it is.
01:00:35No, wait, Layla cried.
01:00:37But the door had already shut and Vorden was rushing off to the office.
01:00:41I'm sorry, Peter, Layla said.
01:00:43Let's just keep it like this for now.
01:00:45I'll stay by the door and if anything happens, I'll leave first.
01:00:48Well, why don't you let me head over to the fridge and see if I can try to make the hunger go away, Peter asked.
01:00:54Layla took a deep breath before replying.
01:00:57Fine.
01:00:59Using her telepathic ability, she opened the fridge door and pulled out a piece of meat for Peter.
01:01:04Making sure Peter kept his hands up while she was doing this.
01:01:07After seeing what he was capable of and what happened to Earl, she wasn't taking any chances.
01:01:13Quinn, where the hell are you? Layla thought.
01:01:16Now, Quinn, I'm sure you're thinking why we called you here, right? Nathan said.
01:01:21Well, as you may know, there was a death yesterday and we're trying to find out who's responsible.
01:01:25Wait, you're saying it wasn't a beast? Quinn said, trying to act surprised.
01:01:30Well, it might be, who knows. All we do know is there have been quite a few cases like this before.
01:01:35However, death seems to be following you around lately and we need to know if it's bad luck or maybe it's someone with bad luck that is following you around.
01:01:44So please, if you could touch the pretty lady's hand, we can begin the questioning.
01:01:48Quinn obeyed the order dutifully. At first, there was no reaction as the woman had yet to activate her ability.
01:01:55All Quinn could hope for now was that they would ask him simple questions like last time.
01:02:00But this time was different. It was the second time he was being interrogated, so they must have found some type of link, linking him to the others.
01:02:08But the truth was he really did have no clue about what happened to Brandon. He only knew about Loop.
01:02:14Now, Quinn, do you know the truth of what happened to Earl Hampton yesterday? The lady asked.
01:02:19This was it, Quinn thought. Her hand started to glow, and energy started to enter Quinn through his hands.
01:02:26Then a message from the system appeared.
01:02:28An ability has been detected. User's mental strength and charm is strong enough to block the ability. Would you like to block the ability?
01:02:36To his surprise, a new message had appeared, unlike what happened last time. It was an unexpected but welcome result.
01:02:43It seemed like the charm stat was becoming more useful with every new problem he faced.
01:02:48The issue now was if he blocked the girl's ability, would she be able to tell it was blocked?
01:02:53After confirming with the system that he wished to block her ability, Quinn answered the question.
01:02:58No. She then let go of Quinn's hands.
01:03:01He's telling the truth, she said. The reason why she believed this was because of how her ability worked.
01:03:07It couldn't actually tell if someone was telling the truth or if someone was lying.
01:03:12The ability could actually only determine if someone was lying.
01:03:16The interrogation went on after the girl touched Quinn's hands again.
01:03:20Nathan was asking Quinn questions about the missing students from before, and eventually this line of questioning led to the bite marks.
01:03:27Quinn answered the questions he could as truthfully as possible, but whenever he wanted something to stay hidden, he would use the system to block the girl's ability.
01:03:36Alright, the interrogation is over, Quinn, Nathan said. It seems like you were innocent, just like we thought.
01:03:42Oh, then why did you try to question me? Quinn asked.
01:03:46Just to be absolutely certain, Nathan replied.
01:03:49Then a few moments later, a knock at the door was heard.
01:03:52Come in, Nathan shouted.
01:03:54Vorden had walked through the door, and to his surprise, Quinn was there with them.
01:03:59Please, Vorden is it? If you could sit in this chair, we would like to ask you a few questions.
01:04:05Hi, Quinn here. Wondering what happens next?
