Some chose to share their knowledge to the rest of the world in hopes of winning the war, while others kept their abilities to themselves.
Quinn had lost everything to the war, his home, his family and the only thing he had inherited was a crummy old book that he couldn’t even open.
But when the book had finally opened, Quinn was granted a system and his whole life was turned around.

00:00:00Layla's hands were visibly shaking and her legs wobbled.
00:00:03Why would we hate you, Layla? Quinn said.
00:00:05Layla looked at Aaron on the bed one more time.
00:00:08I know a place where a group of people will be able to keep her safe from all of this.
00:00:12She paused for a moment before saying the last words.
00:00:16I'm from Pure.
00:00:18I knew it! Vorden shouted.
00:00:20Of course she was hiding something.
00:00:22They probably wanted to use you for some reasons.
00:00:24That's not true. Layla snapped back.
00:00:27They don't even know about Quinn.
00:00:28I didn't ask for this. I didn't ask for any of this.
00:00:31Layla said as tears started to run down her face.
00:00:35Sorry guys, but can someone explain to me what or who Pure is?
00:00:39Vex said. I'm glad you asked.
00:00:40Logan said, spinning his chair around to procure a file.
00:00:44Then he opened it while uttering,
00:00:46I had prepared for this after I saw Layla dropping off the note in the morning.
00:00:50You knew? Vorden said surprised.
00:00:52In an instant, a projection was seen playing a myriad of different videos.
00:00:57It was mostly of people wearing a type of mask that covered their whole face.
00:01:01All with a figure of an angel that looked like it had its wings removed.
00:01:05It was the mark of Pure.
00:01:08The video showed multiple explosion attacks on certain buildings
00:01:11and different factions were being conducted.
00:01:14Let me warn all of you. What you are seeing now is pretty biased.
00:01:17The only information I can get about them is filtered through the military.
00:01:22However, nearly everyone knows the basics.
00:01:25Pure has only one goal, to get rid of all abilities.
00:01:28They believe that the world and the system currently in place are wrong.
00:01:32Even the basic human rights don't exist to those with weaker abilities.
00:01:36Logan explained, I didn't mean to deceive any of you.
00:01:39My situation here is quite complicated.
00:01:42Layla began to reason out,
00:01:43but the main culprit of the system in place is the military.
00:01:46However, the only reason they can enforce the rules is because of True Dream.
00:01:51True Dream only visited this military base
00:01:54and they sent a kid, Vorden explained.
00:01:56I volunteered, Layla shouted,
00:01:59yet her eyes slightly twitched when she said those words.
00:02:02Look, this isn't about me and Pure.
00:02:04This matter is about Aaron.
00:02:06Vorden then dragged Quinn towards the side and whispered in his ear.
00:02:10You're not considering this, are you?
00:02:12For Aaron and Peter to go over to Pure?
00:02:14After hearing this, Quinn was struggling.
00:02:17He was pretty sure that Layla meant no harm,
00:02:19yet putting his friends in the hand of strangers
00:02:22and sending Peter would be a huge risk.
00:02:25Logan, don't you have everything recorded?
00:02:27Can't we just use that as blackmail against True Dream?
00:02:30Spread it on the internet or something?
00:02:32Impossible, Logan replied without delay.
00:02:35You remember the reports I brought up earlier?
00:02:37The military has a monopoly on what can be seen and what cannot.
00:02:41I think we have no other choice, Quinn said.
00:02:44The best thing for Aaron will be to go over to Pure.
00:02:47Okay, so Aaron goes to Pure, Vorden stated.
00:02:50What about Peter?
00:02:52Quinn's mind was already muddled as he tried to think of solutions,
00:02:55but at that moment, he was out of ideas.
00:02:58Quinn, we could always...
00:02:59Don't say it, Vorden.
00:03:01I believe I have a solution to your problem with Peter, the system said.
00:03:05What do you mean? You have an idea for Peter?
00:03:07Quinn asked.
00:03:08The main issue right now is the fact that your faces cannot appear in the school anymore,
00:03:13the system explained.
00:03:14He can learn a transformation ability,
00:03:16but I thought you said we had to find a specific ability for vampires that could be learnt.
00:03:21Just like I learnt the Shadow Book, Quinn asked.
00:03:24Perhaps I need to remind you once again.
00:03:26What I said was, there are certain abilities that only vampires can learn,
00:03:30and at the same time, there are abilities that only humans can learn.
00:03:34However, some abilities are in the middle,
00:03:36some are in between, and one of them is the transformation ability.
00:03:41The transformation ability wasn't a popular ability with the general public.
00:03:45It gave the user nothing extra that could aid them in combat.
00:03:48One could alter their face and look like another.
00:03:51This meant it was often used for infiltration or spying.
00:03:54Quinn then explained to the others what his plan was with Peter.
00:03:58So what do you think, Logan? Quinn asked.
00:04:00Will you be able to hack into the school system and add his ID?
00:04:03The problem isn't whether I can do it or not, Quinn.
00:04:06Logan replied.
00:04:07The problem is making it all seem natural.
00:04:10It won't work.
00:04:12Once again, the group were deep in thought.
00:04:14I have an idea, Vorden said.
00:04:16When we went to the planet Kaladi and the Dalki attacked us,
00:04:19didn't they say they couldn't find three of the student bodies?
00:04:22That's right, Layla replied.
00:04:24They assumed they had died somewhere deep in the desert,
00:04:27and their bodies were eaten.
00:04:28Well, once Peter learns the transformation ability,
00:04:31why don't we get him to look like one of those students?
00:04:33We can have him appear back near the portal
00:04:35and say he had gotten lost in the desert and came back now, Vorden asked.
00:04:40Now that is big brain thinking, Logan said.
00:04:43He then hopped onto his computer and went over to the marketplace
00:04:46in search of a transformation ability book.
00:04:49It didn't take long for Logan to find one,
00:04:51due to how unpopular the skill was.
00:04:54It seemed to be a level 5 skill, which was perfect.
00:04:57Ability book purchased!
00:04:58It will probably take him a few weeks or so for him to learn it, Logan said.
00:05:02For now, he can stay in my room.
00:05:04Let me try something, Quinn said as he walked over and grabbed the book himself.
00:05:08Level 5 transformation ability book obtained.
00:05:11Would you like to store the book?
00:05:13No.
00:05:14Option to use the ability book on family member Peter.
00:05:17Would you like to use it?
00:05:19Maybe we won't have to wait at all, said Quinn,
00:05:21as he accepted the system's suggestion.
00:05:24The book floated in the air and flew over to where Peter was.
00:05:28The pages turned and turned until they hit the very last one.
00:05:32Then the book started to disintegrate in front of everyone's eyes.
00:05:36Peter Chuck has successfully learned the ability transform.
00:05:40Peter, do you want to try transforming into me?
00:05:43Quinn asked.
00:05:44As a tester, Peter did just that,
00:05:46and slowly his face started to reshape and reform into a second Quinn.
00:05:51It was nearly perfect.
00:05:52The others watching were amazed by this.
00:05:54In the room on Logan's computer, three different profiles were displayed.
00:05:58It was displaying information about the three missing students from the Dalki attack.
00:06:02Out of the three, there were two that matched Peter the closest.
00:06:06Peter looked at the screen and carefully started to morph his face.
00:06:09The student had medium-length brown hair,
00:06:11and one of the finer details about him was he would often wear a bandana
00:06:15that cut off one side of his hair while the other remained up.
00:06:18Finally, Peter would no longer go by his name in the school
00:06:21and would now be known as Pio Blank.
00:06:24While this all was happening, the groans from the back were heard
00:06:27as Erin lifted her body off the bed and touched her head.
00:06:31When she looked up, she could see the faces of everyone staring at her
00:06:34and a person she had never seen before.
00:06:36Who the heck is the new guy? Erin groaned.
00:06:39No one said a word and after a few moments,
00:06:41she started to remember everything that had happened to her.
00:06:44Her last words with Jack and what he had planned to do with them.
00:06:47No, no, no! She started to scream.
00:06:50Calm her down before someone outside hears us, Vorden said.
00:06:54Layla quickly rushed over to her side,
00:06:56but Erin couldn't help but scream in anger and sadness.
00:06:59Do you want us to be caught? Logan said,
00:07:02as he threw out a circular device towards Erin.
00:07:04The device opened up mid-air just before reaching her mouth
00:07:07and wrapped around it like a tight-fit mask.
00:07:10The screams had stopped, but the tears continued to run down her face.
00:07:14While Erin's mouth was covered, it was a lot easier for Layla to explain.
00:07:18Logan then walked up to Erin and had a few words to say himself.
00:07:21Now if you scream, it goes back on.
00:07:23The situation is not favorable for any of us and please trust me,
00:07:27we went through all the options.
00:07:29I even looked into your background
00:07:30and thought about seeing if we could send you back to your family,
00:07:33but that's not possible.
00:07:35Staying with Pure is the only option we have.
00:07:38Logan took off Erin's wristwatch
00:07:40and made a few adjustments to it before placing it back.
00:07:43We are a bit wary of Pure,
00:07:44so if you need any emergency help,
00:07:46you can contact me through that, Erin nodded calmly.
00:07:49Rather than angry or sad,
00:07:51she seemed to be going through a different stage right now.
00:07:53She was in shock.
00:07:55As soon as the mask was taken off,
00:07:57she started to look at Layla.
00:07:59Will you be coming with me? Erin asked with pain in her voice.
00:08:02Layla looked in her eyes
00:08:03and held both of her hands before shaking her head.
00:08:06She knew the next words would hit her hard.
00:08:08No, I can't.
00:08:09I still have my mission here, Layla replied.
00:08:12What about Peter?
00:08:14Will he be coming along with me as well?
00:08:16The student who Erin didn't recognize
00:08:18stood next to Quinn stepped forward
00:08:20and his face started to morph back into his old self.
00:08:23But how?
00:08:24Didn't he have an Earth ability? Erin asked.
00:08:27How did he learn that?
00:08:28The sound of a little excitement and hope
00:08:30could be felt in her voice.
00:08:32That's because Peter is no longer human, Quinn explained.
00:08:35Hearing these words from Quinn suddenly gave Erin an idea.
00:08:39She had lost her ability, but not all hope was gone.
00:08:42She stood up from the bed and said,
00:08:43Quinn, I want you to make me a vampire.
00:08:46I want you to turn me like how you turned Peter.
00:08:48Erin, even if I wanted to, I can't.
00:08:51It wouldn't change the situation we're in, Quinn explained.
00:08:55What do you mean? She asked,
00:08:56slightly annoyed, taking a step forward.
00:08:59First, I think you're forgetting the main issue here.
00:09:02It isn't that your ability was stolen from you,
00:09:04but it's the fact that the school and Jack are after you.
00:09:07Either way, we need to hide you somewhere,
00:09:09and going to Pure is the best option.
00:09:11Perhaps I should take over the explaining,
00:09:14Logan said as he moved forward.
00:09:16The reason Peter got the transformation ability in the first place
00:09:19was so he could hide in plain sight.
00:09:21We are currently using one of the missing male students
00:09:24from the planet Kaldi.
00:09:25If you did change your mind and gave in,
00:09:27ending up with the transformation ability,
00:09:30it would still be impossible to hide you, Erin.
00:09:32There have been no missing female students since the start of the term.
00:09:35Hearing their explanation wasn't calming Erin down at all.
00:09:39Instead, it was making her feel drained and defeated.
00:09:42What's the point of me being protected by Pure?
00:09:44Am I meant to just be some type of princess
00:09:47that can't fight for herself? She complained.
00:09:50Why don't we make a deal, Quinn said.
00:09:52Stay with Pure for now.
00:09:53Once this whole thing blows over or we finish school,
00:09:56come back to me.
00:09:57If you still wish for me to turn you into a vampire, then I will.
00:10:01Please understand, Erin.
00:10:02None of us can do anything when we are dead.
00:10:05She looked into his eyes for a while
00:10:07before eventually giving his answer
00:10:09and finally shook Quinn's hand.
00:10:11Sometimes you make some sense, she said.
00:10:14Finally, the matter had been settled and a plan set.
00:10:18What do we need to do to send Erin to Pure then?
00:10:20Vorden asked.
00:10:21It's not exactly like we can just walk out the front door of this place.
00:10:24Logan, do you have an answer?
00:10:26Quinn asked.
00:10:27Unfortunately not, Logan replied.
00:10:30We have Pure members stationed on nearly every planet
00:10:33except for a few red planets, Layla said.
00:10:36We won't need to go outside,
00:10:37but just get Erin to the portal room.
00:10:39That's no good, Logan said.
00:10:41It seems like after the incident last time
00:10:44with a couple of students being pushed into one of the portals.
00:10:47They have been stricter about the security there.
00:10:50How about Fex's mind control, Erin said.
00:10:52Couldn't he tell them to go away or remove their memories?
00:10:56If they are adults, it would be much harder than before, Fex replied.
00:11:00Besides, right now I'm guessing there will be a lot of people covering that area.
00:11:03If I wanted to get out of this place,
00:11:05the portal room would be the first place I would think of.
00:11:08So there's no way we can pull off something as similar
00:11:10as we did against True Dream,
00:11:12not unless we had someone on the inside.
00:11:15The last words Fex had spoken gave Quinn an idea.
00:11:19It was a risky one,
00:11:21but he had a gut feeling that he would be able to help.
00:11:23Then we have no choice, Quinn said.
00:11:25We need to ask Leo for help.
00:11:30Hi, Quinn here.
00:11:31Wondering what happens next?
00:11:33If you want to jump the queue and unleash all episodes,
00:11:36click on the link here and install the Pocket FM app.
00:11:44The words that came out of Quinn's mouth surprised them all.
00:11:47This also included Vorden, who felt like he was the closest to him.
00:11:51Why would you suggest that, Vorden said.
00:11:54Leo is a sergeant,
00:11:55and although he isn't under Duke,
00:11:56he is under Nathan,
00:11:57who is ultimately under Paul, the head general.
00:12:00It's clear that Leo is working for them,
00:12:02or at least he takes direct orders from them,
00:12:04Quinn said.
00:12:05First of all, I'm pretty sure he knows I'm a vampire.
00:12:08He knew I was different from the beginning
00:12:10and has safeguarded my secret until this day.
00:12:13Leo himself didn't align with the military.
00:12:16He is on the side of humanity, Aaron added.
00:12:19I agree he's different from the other teachers.
00:12:21Remember how he saved us from the Dalki attack that one time?
00:12:24Once again, Logan projected the information about Leo onto the screen.
00:12:28Logan said,
00:12:29it says Leo readily refused to join the military
00:12:32and only wanted peace after the war.
00:12:34However, he did agree to fight once again
00:12:36if the Dalki were to invade.
00:12:38A bright light emerged from the projector,
00:12:40which used to display the hologram so far.
00:12:43It now displayed a solid wall of green.
00:12:46Which one of you is the best at acting here?
00:12:48Logan inquired.
00:12:49The others didn't know who to look at,
00:12:51but eventually, they all directed their gaze at Vorden.
00:12:54Vorden immediately bent down
00:12:56as little Logan placed the strange helmet on top of his head.
00:12:59This here is a facial recognition device.
00:13:01It can track the smallest of details
00:13:03and all the little movements of the muscles in your face.
00:13:06What I plan to do is make a video.
00:13:08If we put both Peter and Aaron up against the green screen
00:13:12and we have our actor Vorden here,
00:13:14I will be able to create a realistic video.
00:13:16The plan is to pretend the video has been sent from Pure,
00:13:19informing the school that the kids they are looking for
00:13:22have already left the planet
00:13:24and are safe in Pure's hands.
00:13:25Once they know Pure safely as the two of you,
00:13:28hopefully, they will stop searching around
00:13:30as desperately as they are doing now.
00:13:32A speech was made for Vorden to act out
00:13:35while Layla was in charge of telling Vorden what to say.
00:13:37The speech even ended with a phrase they had never heard before,
00:13:41may we purify your souls.
00:13:43She explained that it was a type of signature
00:13:45Pure used when they send things like this to their enemy.
00:13:49It also made the others realize
00:13:51how Layla was living a double life
00:13:53and perhaps the Layla they knew wasn't real at all.
00:13:56She had to inform Pure of the plan as well.
00:13:59She was quite nervous about this
00:14:00as she had broken the rules of Pure and acted on her own.
00:14:04Walking down the hallway,
00:14:05both Quinn and Vorden were making their way to the weapons class.
00:14:09Even on off days like today,
00:14:11Leo would often rest there or practice his swordsmanship.
00:14:15The two of them now stood just outside the weapons hall
00:14:18and Vorden hesitated before stepping in.
00:14:20The two of you were standing outside for a while.
00:14:22I was wondering when you were going to come in, Leo said.
00:14:26Quinn started to explain what had happened
00:14:28and how they had come to learn what True Dream's reason
00:14:30for coming to the academy was.
00:14:32As well as how Pure was the one who had informed them
00:14:36and how their friends had been chosen for the process.
00:14:39All they wanted to do was protect Aaron and Peter.
00:14:42Quinn, however, did leave out the detail of them
00:14:45trying to save Peter for a different reason related to himself
00:14:49and just explained that he didn't want his friends to lose their ability.
00:14:52He also mentioned how they needed to send Aaron out of here right now.
00:14:56There isn't much I can do with the situation with Jack.
00:14:59Jack holds a special relationship with our head general, Paul.
00:15:02The only thing I can do is wait to meet with the head general of Military Base One.
00:15:07Not everyone in the military agrees with Jack's doing
00:15:10and this will hopefully be a step in the right direction, Leo said.
00:15:13Quinn said, right now all we need to do is save our friend.
00:15:17Is there any way you can get us inside the teleport room to send her off somewhere?
00:15:22Leo started to think, which wasn't a good sign.
00:15:24It seemed like he asked a simple yes or no answer,
00:15:27but that didn't seem to be the case.
00:15:29As you know, the portal room has been heavily guarded ever since what happened between you two.
00:15:34Most likely, it will be guarded even more.
00:15:37Still, there is a way. Follow me.
00:15:40While entering her room, Layla was more nervous than ever.
00:15:44The black orb resting under her bed was now in her hand.
00:15:47And once again, she took a deep breath, readying herself before tapping the top of the sphere.
00:15:52Agent 45 connected with Agent 83.
00:15:55Today isn't a report day. Does there seem to be a problem?
00:15:58The voice from the sphere asked.
00:16:00I would like to make a special report.
00:16:02Would you please connect me to agent number five?
00:16:05Layla asked.
00:16:06The single agents are too busy.
00:16:08You can report it to me and I will pass on the message to them.
00:16:11I'll ask you again, Layla said firmly.
00:16:14Please let me speak to agent five.
00:16:17This is not a request as an agent, but say that it's from her daughter.
00:16:21There seemed to be a slight pause between the two for a moment,
00:16:25before the agent eventually replied.
00:16:27I will see what she says.
00:16:30Layla waited while the other agent contacted her mother.
00:16:33This is agent five. I hear you have some important news for me, agent 83, the voice said.
00:16:38Layla started to explain the details of what happened,
00:16:41how she acted on her own without informing Pure to protect her friends,
00:16:45going against Jack and what the situation currently was.
00:16:49So far, she had only said she told Aaron,
00:16:51someone who she wanted to bring over to Pure, about her real position.
00:16:56Has your position been compromised by anyone else in the school or personnel?
00:17:00Her mother asked.
00:17:02No, I've only informed Aaron.
00:17:04Right now they think she escaped on her own.
00:17:06They are looking for her and she has no ability, as well as nowhere to go.
00:17:10If you can, please help her.
00:17:12Don't worry, she replied. We will do our best.
00:17:16Anyone who has been affected by True Dream will be accepted.
00:17:19We shall treat her well.
00:17:21However, you have gone against our code.
00:17:23Although you were not caught, you took action without asking for permission,
00:17:27and you even went as far as to use our name.
00:17:30Your punishment will be decided when you come back to the base.
00:17:34For now, you shall be demoted from position 83 to position 100.
00:17:39Update me when you have the location Aaron will be sent to.
00:17:42We will have someone on standby waiting.
00:17:45Oh, and one last thing.
00:17:47Layla, I am waiting for you. Soar through the ranks.
00:17:50Don't be disheartened and try to get into the upper level,
00:17:53so we can meet more frequently. May Pure be with you.
00:17:56May Pure be with you.
00:17:58The two boys were closely following Leo as he walked around the school.
00:18:02Sergeant Leo, Faye said.
00:18:04There has been an update about the situation of the two students who ran away from their punishment.
00:18:08It appears that somehow, Pure has already gotten their hands on both of them, Faye said.
00:18:13As Faye finished her words, she spotted the two boys standing not too far away from Leo.
00:18:18They were the first-year students who she had been seeing more than she would have liked to.
00:18:23Wherever these two went, it seemed like trouble was simply lurking in their shadows.
00:18:28On the other hand, Leo stopped in his tracks, prompting the students to do the same.
00:18:33They had reached an area in the school that they had never been to before.
00:18:36It was located around the back of the teleport area,
00:18:39and to access it, a special code should be entered on a panel that served as the lock.
00:18:45This area is dedicated to the soldiers' storage room.
00:18:48When we moved here, we were allowed to bring our personal belongings, Leo explained.
00:18:53They walked for a few seconds, eventually stopping right before the door that had the number 12 painted on it.
00:19:00There is a security device that made sure that the only one who had access to this room was him,
00:19:05unlike the other codes utilized on the previous doors.
00:19:08Placing his hand on top of the access panel, it soon allowed Leo inside.
00:19:13Quinn continued his inspection of the weapons.
00:19:16He noticed that most of them were high-class, and were classified as beast equipment.
00:19:21It turned out that Quinn wasn't the only one who noticed the equipment around them was mostly high-gears, as Vorden did too.
00:19:28Hey, if you're not going to use these things, do you mind if I keep them?
00:19:33Just then, Leo came out from the back, holding a fairly large circular device.
00:19:37It was almost the same size as his upper body.
00:19:40He placed it in front of the two students, making a loud sound as it hit the floor.
00:19:46I'm afraid that all of these weapons are cursed, Leo said.
00:19:49Their users died with too much resentment and those emotions stayed in their weapons, Leo explained.
00:19:55Having no sight has allowed me to see more things than I have ever seen before.
00:20:00If only you could see the things I could see, perhaps, you would begin to understand a little.
00:20:05Oh, Vorden replied, you're talking about your ability.
00:20:08Is there a way you can show me? I can copy and use other people's abilities.
00:20:12All I need to do is touch their hand.
00:20:16Quinn was a little afraid about how Leo would react.
00:20:19If you wish to, then go ahead, Leo said as he held out his hand.
00:20:24At the same time, a strange smile appeared on his face.
00:20:28With that, the pressure Vorden felt before was back.
00:20:46When Vorden explained to Leo his abilities, Leo was running his lie detection ability to see if he was speaking the truth or not.
00:20:55Vorden looked at Leo's hand once again and this time with slight hesitation.
00:21:00He eventually took the plunge and shook Leo's hand.
00:21:04Vorden could feel an insurgence of new energy inside his body.
00:21:08The cells in his body were finally changing.
00:21:12It was the strongest force he had ever felt enter his body before.
00:21:16Finally, the two of them let go.
00:21:19Well, Leo asked, do you see what I see?
00:21:23Vorden activated the ability and his whole vision went black.
00:21:27He could no longer see using his regular eyesight.
00:21:30Instead, the walls and floor appeared like wireframes that were constantly moving.
00:21:35When he looked at his hand, he could see the flow of yellow energy appearing off his own body.
00:21:40He turned his head and looked at Quinn who was giving off a different color, a dark purple hue which burned brightly.
00:21:47Vorden now understood why Leo was able to tell that Quinn was different.
00:21:52It was the colors of energy.
00:21:54Finally though, when he looked at Leo, the largest shock came to him.
00:21:58Leo's flame was yellow, just like Vorden's.
00:22:01However, there was a big difference between the two.
00:22:04The flow of energy burning was much more intense and it seemed to be at least four times bigger than his own.
00:22:10But how? Vorden thought.
00:22:12Then, Vorden started to notice something else.
00:22:15The sword around his waist was also burning a bright red color and the energy coming off from it was nearly just as strong as Leo himself.
00:22:24Is this normal for beast weapons? Vorden asked.
00:22:27It seems like you really can see what I can see.
00:22:31A regular beast weapon does not shine. As I said before, these are different. Leo explained.
00:22:37And what about you? Vorden asked.
00:22:39Why are you...
00:22:40Just before Vorden could ask his question, Leo immediately suppressed the yellow aura around his body and brought it down to the same level as Vorden.
00:22:49Seeing this action, Vorden knew Leo was telling him not to ask about it.
00:22:54Leo then tapped the large metallic circular object.
00:22:58This here is a portable teleportation device. It's an old one, but it still works.
00:23:03As you know, these are a one-time use thing. It will allow you to go to a destination, but not come back. Leo explained.
00:23:11The location of this device is set to a planet called Lintarnia. It's a green portal planet that I once came from, so it should be safe.
00:23:20There is one problem, though, said Leo. As you can see, it's very big and heavy.
00:23:26There is no way to move this without being suspicious or being seen by anyone else.
00:23:31We could bring Aaron over to the portal, Vorden suggested.
00:23:35As Vorden made his suggestion, an idea suddenly popped into Quinn's head.
00:23:39He touched the shadow just underneath the large metallic object.
00:23:43Dimensional space!
00:23:45The shadow underneath the object grew, and when it encased the whole thing, it eventually dropped down, as if the object was sucked into a black hole.
00:23:53That solves the problem, Quinn said.
00:23:56I wish you two good luck, Leo said.
00:23:59As the two boys ran off, Leo looked at the back of the two of them.
00:24:03The future ahead will be dark for you two, but it seems you will be strong enough to overcome it.
00:24:10The circular portal was set up in Logan's room, while Layla sent a message with details about which planet Aaron would be in for an Agent of Pure to pick her up.
00:24:19Once Layla received a confirmation back, it was finally time for them to say their goodbyes.
00:24:24Logan tapped a few buttons on the side of the circular machine, and two claw-like objects opened up from the side.
00:24:31A few moments later, a green-colored round fuzz of energy was produced. The portal was activated.
00:24:37Before stepping into it, she looked back at everyone in the room.
00:24:41I know you losers will still do well without me. Become the best and keep my top place warm for me when I return, she said with a smile.
00:24:49Looking at Aaron's smile, their hearts started to melt a little.
00:24:52Remember, if there is any problem and you need to contact us, use the watch, Logan shouted.
00:24:58With those last words said, Aaron stepped into the portal, experiencing a whole new world.
00:25:03On the planet Biolotmare, a medium-sized shelter stood along a clear blue river.
00:25:08The shelter wasn't owned by the military or the Big Four, but instead was owned by a secret benefactor who would hire out travelers, or traveler factions, to guard the place.
00:25:19Standing by one of the portal entrances was a young man who was tapping his foot on the ground.
00:25:24A strange sound was heard by his side. When he turned his head, he could see the space next to him became distorted.
00:25:31Warping in and out, suddenly, a bright white circular portal appeared. A snow-white skinned female with blonde hair dropped out of it.
00:25:39The man walked up to the woman and looked her up and down before saying anything.
00:25:44An angel flies high in the sky, the young man said.
00:25:48And as its wings torn down and falls to the ground, Aaron replied.
00:25:52Before leaving, Layla had informed her this was a code so agents could tell who was who between each other.
00:25:59Follow me.
00:26:00The young man led her out of the shelter.
00:26:02This should be far enough, the young man said, standing near the edge of the clifftop.
00:26:08The man started to walk around as if he was looking for something on the floor until eventually a ping sound was heard.
00:26:14Here it is.
00:26:16The man started to dig down at the spot with his bare hands.
00:26:19Hey pretty lady, are you just going to stand there or are you going to help me? The man asked.
00:26:25Just as she moved forward, a loud screeching sound could be heard in the air.
00:26:30Watch out! she shouted. It's a beast!
00:26:33The young man turned and slowly drew out his large sword.
00:26:37Suddenly the beast stopped its descent and spread its wings wide open, hovering by the clifftop in front of the young man.
00:26:44It marched forward and the young man lifted the sword just at the right time, pushed it down like a pin right on top of its head.
00:26:52Its wings had stopped in an instant and the beast was dead.
00:26:56Can you at least get the crystal? the man asked.
00:26:59While Erin went to carve out the beast's crystal, the man continued to dig in the location.
00:27:04Finally, the man had stopped digging and pulled out a large circular metallic device.
00:27:09After pressing a few buttons on the side, the portal opened up.
00:27:13Well, are you ready to meet your new home? he asked.
00:27:16Take off the watch.
00:27:18This? If you're worried about the school tracking me, they won't be able to. Your member disabled it.
00:27:23Erin tried to explain.
00:27:25The man then forcefully grabbed her wrist and snapped the watch off, before throwing it onto the ground.
00:27:31You're about to head into the Pure's base. We can't and won't take any chances.
00:27:36After that, he pulled Erin into the portal and the two of them disappeared out of sight.
00:27:41At Military Base 2, things were starting to calm down.
00:27:45There was only one problem left to solve right now, and that was Peter.
00:27:50The group had decided they would continue to hide Peter inside Logan's room.
00:27:54While he stayed in Logan's room, it would also give him time to practice the details of the student he was pretending to be.
00:28:01Logan opened up the files which displayed information about the student named Pio Blank on the screen.
00:28:07While the file was open, Logan would ask a series of questions to which Peter would answer.
00:28:13He continued this until Peter could remember every detail about Pio Blank by heart.
00:28:18Do you mind doing me another favor? Logan asked with a small smile on his face.
00:28:22Peter hopped into the VR machine. Logan would communicate with him while he was connected.
00:28:28Right now, Logan wanted to see Peter's capabilities and strengths.
00:28:32Peter, behind you a pair of weapons will appear. Use them however you wish against the NPC enemies.
00:28:38Suddenly, a pair of short blades appeared on the ground behind him, and at the same time,
00:28:43eight different men all in a solid black color appeared.
00:28:46They didn't look like humans, but like blobs of ink instead.
00:28:50Using the two weapons and Peter's speed, he was able to deal with most of the enemies with ease, and Logan was impressed.
00:28:57Right now, both his strength and speed were nearly four times the level of an average human.
00:29:02Finally, the simulation had ended, and Peter exited the pod.
00:29:07After gathering all of Peter's stats, Logan concluded that Peter would make a great spy or assassin.
00:29:13While Logan was deep in thought, he heard a knock on the door, and to his utter surprise, it was Quinn and Fex.
00:29:20What are you two doing back here so soon? Logan asked.
00:29:23Actually, Quinn replied, I was hoping we could use your VR capsule.
00:29:27I wanted you to add Fex's ability to the game for us.
00:29:30I suppose I still have some energy left in me, Logan said as he quickly hopped onto his computer.
00:29:35Go on then, Quinn, you've done this before. Show him what to do.
00:29:38Just like Quinn had done before, Fex was placed into the fairly large glass tube.
00:29:43He was then told to use his ability in different ways, while the tube and computer would record how his ability worked.
00:29:50And we are done, Logan said as he opened his eyes and let go of the computer.
00:29:55How will we play? Quinn asked.
00:29:58There's only one VR machine.
00:30:00I thought of that beforehand, Logan said as he threw two very small square-looking nanosticks in the air.
00:30:07Both Quinn and Fex caught them with ease by swiping their hands in the air.
00:30:12Usually if you try putting anything into the VR capsules, it will just reject them for security reasons.
00:30:18But those have been blessed by me, Logan explained.
00:30:21Just head to the back and pop them in.
00:30:23After that, when you log into the VR capsule, it will give you the option of which server to connect to.
00:30:28I've put both the shadow and string ability into the private server for you to use.
00:30:33Now get out of here and go play your little game.
00:30:35As soon as the two boys left the room, Logan almost collapsed on his bed.
00:30:40Peter looked at Logan in the room before looking at the VR capsule again.
00:30:44Do you mind if I use the VR capsule? Peter asked.
00:30:47But Logan was already asleep.
00:30:49Whatever, it's just a game, Peter said as he climbed into the machine.
00:30:54Logging in online. Please create your user ID.
00:30:57Quinn and Fex were now in the game's white lobby room.
00:31:01They had done as Logan instructed.
00:31:03Right now they were in his private server.
00:31:05Okay, so the idea is I will control your body using the strings.
00:31:10Now what you need to do is focus on the feeling of each movement.
00:31:13Every sequence of moves starts somewhere and ends somewhere.
00:31:17You need to put these things together like building blocks, Fex explained.
00:31:21So are you ready?
00:31:23Quinn was ready this time. Within the game, there was no chance for him to be hurt.
00:31:27He stood with his back facing towards Fex
00:31:30and had his arms and legs spread out to make it easier for him.
00:31:34Just like he did with Aaron, Fex walked up to Quinn
00:31:37and inserted 12 different pieces of string into 12 different parts of his body.
00:31:42Fex did a few simple tests, first moving his body around.
00:31:45Calm down, will you? Fex complained.
00:31:48For this to work, you need to be in a sleep-like state.
00:31:51That way I can use your body how I like.
00:31:53You just need to pay attention with your mind.
00:31:56Quinn closed his eyes and tried relaxing his body.
00:31:59It took a while for him to allow his whole body to go limp
00:32:02as he was afraid he would fall over if he did.
00:32:05But suddenly when he did, he felt a jolt in his legs.
00:32:09He didn't fall over, but instead, Fex had taken control of his legs.
00:32:13After getting past the weird feeling, the rest was now easy for Fex.
00:32:18Quinn concentrated hard as Fex demonstrated the moves using his body.
00:32:23As his arms flew out from different angles, they were fast and stiff.
00:32:27At the same time, his body was always in a position
00:32:30where he could see an oncoming attack while being able to block using his shoulder.
00:32:34Quinn tried to combine the feelings of the punches
00:32:37together with his muscle memory from being controlled by Fex,
00:32:41and it seemed to be working out well for him.
00:32:44Fex watched Quinn carefully as each move was performed nearly perfectly to how they were shown.
00:32:50Looks like we have a fast learner, Fex said.
00:32:53As Quinn didn't want to let go of this feeling,
00:32:55he continued to practice the punches Fex had taught him.
00:32:58He was slowly perfecting them.
00:33:00Then all of a sudden, he heard a ding from the system.
00:33:14Click on the link here and install the Pocket FM app.
00:33:21Basic arts? Quinn read.
00:33:24Does this mean there are stronger vampire martial arts out there?
00:33:27This time, the tutorial was unlocked when Quinn had learned the vampire martial arts,
00:33:32so perhaps there was a tutorial skill related to it.
00:33:35Yes, Fex replied.
00:33:37These are only the basics.
00:33:39I can perform at a level above what I showed you, obviously,
00:33:42but I honestly wouldn't be good enough to teach them to you.
00:33:44If you want to learn some more, you're better off getting a real teacher to show you.
00:33:48While the two of them were busy practicing inside the private server,
00:33:52they were unaware of what was happening elsewhere in the game.
00:33:55Zombie Pete winner!
00:33:57A few people in the crowd were currently watching a particular student play the VR game.
00:34:02Each of them had lost the matches, but found the fights a little strange,
00:34:06so they opted to watch the next few games.
00:34:09New match has been found!
00:34:11A new game had started, and once again, the student they had their eye on
00:34:15was going up against a level 3 telekinesis user.
00:34:18The telekinesis user had several black balls attached around his chest,
00:34:22while his opponent had no weapons at all.
00:34:25Standing on the opposite side was Peter.
00:34:28He didn't look like his usual self, as he was slightly disguised by the avatar,
00:34:33although he selected a pretty basic default design
00:34:36that had a randomly generated face with a few scraps of clothing.
00:34:40The fight had begun. Peter rushed forward.
00:34:43At the same time, the telekinesis user threw out the metallic balls
00:34:47using his ability to speed them up.
00:34:49Peter, however, was fast and was able to dodge most of the incoming attacks,
00:34:54and the few that he couldn't, he knocked away with his hand.
00:34:57Eventually, one of the metallic balls came at great speed
00:35:01and managed to hit Peter in the center of his shin,
00:35:03smashing and breaking it in half, causing him to fall to the ground.
00:35:07The telekinesis user calmly walked over to Peter, thinking it was all over.
00:35:12He had taken out one of his opponent's legs, and no movement would mean the end.
00:35:17However, the others watching from the stand knew it wasn't the end for Peter.
00:35:21They had all thought the same thing while fighting against Peter.
00:35:24Suddenly, after a few moments, Peter was able to stand up again,
00:35:28as if the attack had never hit his leg in the first place.
00:35:31He immediately ran towards his opponent.
00:35:35Eventually, when he was close enough, Peter pounced on top of his opponent
00:35:39and widely swung his fists towards his head.
00:35:42There was no class and no style with Peter's attacks.
00:35:45It was like one of a wild animal.
00:35:50Each of the opponents Peter had gone against
00:35:53had witnessed his impressive regenerative abilities.
00:35:56Still, some people were suspicious, since Peter also seemed to have
00:36:00impressive strength and speed, on top of his healing powers.
00:36:04As the game had ended just outside the VR pod,
00:36:07Logan was finally waking up from his nap.
00:36:10As he slowly opened his eyes and looked around the room,
00:36:13he noticed that Peter wasn't there.
00:36:15''Peter!'' Logan said as he rushed over to the computer
00:36:18and immediately logged in.
00:36:20It was as he thought.
00:36:22Peter had not logged into the private server to play,
00:36:25but instead had logged into the military servers.
00:36:28Quickly, Logan brought up a log of Peter's past games,
00:36:31hoping he hadn't done anything to stand out.
00:36:34He had already received a few emails from admins,
00:36:37asking to look into the user ID of ZombieP,
00:36:40making sure it wasn't a hacked player,
00:36:43since there had been a few complaints made online.
00:36:46''I guess your fame online will be a short one, Peter.
00:36:49The world cannot learn of you just yet.''
00:36:51With that, Logan forcefully disconnected Peter from the online world.
00:36:55However, it was a little too late,
00:36:57as some of Peter's amazing regenerative power videos
00:37:00had already been spread online.
00:37:03Meanwhile, in another military base,
00:37:05a certain group of boys had also managed to watch the videos
00:37:08that had been posted.
00:37:10''Did you see?'' Sam asked.
00:37:12''Yeah. Looks like there will be a lot of interesting people
00:37:15at the inter-military base event.''
00:37:17Nate replied with a big smile.
00:37:19Inside the training hall in one of the military bases,
00:37:22Nate and Sam were training.
00:37:24They often went to other planets to support the base military
00:37:27in their endeavors.
00:37:28However, as of the moment,
00:37:30the second-year students were to remain at their bases
00:37:32for the time being,
00:37:34under the upcoming inter-base military event.
00:37:37It was an event that required all of the eight military bases to enter.
00:37:41It was a competition among the bases.
00:37:43The military bases would compete to see
00:37:45who had raised the best and strongest students.
00:37:48The event was important for the military bases and their leaders,
00:37:51since they would often get more funding and privileges
00:37:54based on the performance shown during their participation.
00:37:57The two of them were in the room.
00:37:59Sam was reading a level 6 ability book that was placed on the floor.
00:38:03Sam had his eyes closed for a while now, meditating.
00:38:07All of a sudden, a burning sensation arose in his chest,
00:38:10promptly stopping him from what he was doing.
00:38:13The burning ache that Sam felt in his heart
00:38:15meant that he had reached his limit.
00:38:18Thus, pushing his body any further could be dangerous,
00:38:21Nate said with a cheery tone in his voice,
00:38:24trying to ease Sam's worries.
00:38:26All we need to do is get you some good beast gear that suits your ability.
00:38:29Also, we can always work on your skills.
00:38:32Meanwhile, inside the school's IT room,
00:38:34Silver was currently standing above one of the school's staff members.
00:38:38The reflection from the screen displayed
00:38:40that his eyes had a slight red tint to them,
00:38:42meaning that he was under Silver's control.
00:38:45Right now, she was searching for the school files regarding a student named Fex.
00:38:50Oh, you stupid little boy, Silver said out loud.
00:38:53The file was found, and it seemed like Fex had used his real name.
00:38:58Although this was good news for her,
00:39:00it wasn't long until the Interbase military event,
00:39:03and she would be able to make her move to bring Fex home.
00:39:06Hopefully, you haven't caused too much trouble yet.
00:39:09It appeared like everyone was busy, dead set on doing their own thing.
00:39:12Because of this, Borden found the situation a little boring.
00:39:16If he was left on his own accord,
00:39:18there were only two people who he could talk to,
00:39:20although they seemed to be a bad influence on him.
00:39:23Hey, do you think we can trust her?
00:39:25Rayton shouted as he asked.
00:39:27We knew something was up, and it looks like we were right, working for Pure.
00:39:31Who knows what she's already told them.
00:39:33They could be after Quinn,
00:39:35Syl said while continuing to rock back and forth.
00:39:38Guys, will you all just calm down?
00:39:41Borden hollered, annoyed by his companion's complaints.
00:39:44What about the next portal outing?
00:39:46Rayton queried.
00:39:47What if she plans to make her next move then?
00:39:49We need to find her real goal.
00:39:51Fine, Borden replied, giving in to the idea.
00:39:55He knew firsthand that if he didn't do something,
00:39:57Rayton would continue down this path,
00:39:59and eventually, he would get Syl worried.
00:40:02Then, I will go talk to Layla.
00:40:04Thus, Borden went to the dorms to visit Layla.
00:40:08Upon knocking on the door, a female student answered it.
00:40:11The most prominent feature of the lady was her short black hair,
00:40:15with a fringe that cascaded her face,
00:40:17nearly covering the entirety of her right eye.
00:40:20Her name was Sia,
00:40:22and she was the third person who occupied Aaron and Layla's room.
00:40:26Is Layla there? Borden asked.
00:40:29Are you her boyfriend? Sia said as she scanned Borden's body from head to toe.
00:40:34I'm guessing you two had an argument or something,
00:40:36judging how she's been since yesterday,
00:40:38or maybe it was the fact that she found out her best friends were terrorists,
00:40:41but she's not here.
00:40:43This was the explanation the school had given,
00:40:46that eight students had been found with connections to the group known as Pure,
00:40:50and were taken to the dungeon as a form of punishment.
00:40:53Look, if you want to find Layla, she's usually by the back of the building,
00:40:56sitting on the bench just underneath the large tree.
00:40:59She and Aaron often went there together, Sia said.
00:41:02With that piece of information, Borden left without saying another word,
00:41:05as he turned the corner,
00:41:07he indeed saw someone sitting alone on a bench right underneath a tree.
00:41:11Borden, what do you want? Layla asked in a rude tone.
00:41:15She had just lost her best friend,
00:41:17and the last person she wanted to see was standing right before her eyes.
00:41:21I think we need to talk about whether or not I can trust you? Borden asked.
00:41:25Layla interrupted Borden.
00:41:27I was in Pure this whole time before everything started,
00:41:30the only difference now is that you guys know about it.
00:41:33That hasn't changed who I am, and let me ask you,
00:41:36aren't you going around accusing me all the time?
00:41:38But what about you? Why do you care so much about Quinn?
00:41:42At this point, Layla had stood up from the bench,
00:41:45and was starting to inch closer to Borden.
00:41:47If she takes one more step closer to us, Borden,
00:41:50and you don't do anything about it, I swear,
00:41:52Rayton said, his tone a tad threatening.
00:41:55Shut up, Borden shouted as he grabbed his head.
00:41:58Layla, I need to trust you.
00:42:00If I can't trust you, then I'm afraid of what will happen to you.
00:42:03Then tell me, Borden, what can I do to prove I'm on your side, she asked.
00:42:08Fortunately, Borden had prepared an answer to this question.
00:42:12Let Quinn turn you into a vampire, that way I know that you're on his side.
00:42:16Layla's anger bubbled at such a question,
00:42:19why couldn't he do it as well?
00:42:21He could get turned too.
00:42:23And yet despite wanting to ask such a question about why he couldn't do the same,
00:42:27she already knew the answer.
00:42:29It was the loss of Borden's ability.
00:42:31His skills were versatile, which was a great help to them on several occasions.
00:42:35While for her, it didn't mean much.
00:42:38Her powers were quite weak, only being a level two.
00:42:41I want to go to Borden, but it's too risky right now, she replied.
00:42:45If I go off the radar, stop reporting to Pure and choose to be by Quinn's side,
00:42:49they could run an investigation.
00:42:51They would then look into me, send higher-ups,
00:42:54and then Quinn would be in even more trouble, Layla explained.
00:42:57When the time is right, I promise I will be by Quinn's side.
00:43:01The school no longer searched for the missing students.
00:43:04After doing a sweep of the school,
00:43:06it looked like none of the students had seen Peter or Aaron.
00:43:09In the end, they deemed that the video that had been sent
00:43:12must have been true, and they were too late.
00:43:15With the help of Leo, they were able to gain access to the portal room once again.
00:43:19Leo was able to sneak Peter into the room,
00:43:22and with him, several of Logan's mechanical little spiders.
00:43:25Logan pressed a key on his keyboard.
00:43:27At the same time, in a different location, in the school's security office,
00:43:31a signal was detected.
00:43:33Haley soon came along with Faye to check who had made the signal.
00:43:37That's one of the missing students!
00:43:39Faye shouted as soon as she saw Peter.
00:43:41She had recognized him since she had dealt with their case files.
00:43:45Quick, Haley takes him to the medical facility.
00:43:47We need to give him a full health check-up.
00:43:49This is the first bit of good news we have had in quite a while.
00:43:53Right inside Logan's room, Quinn and the entire group were standing with a smile,
00:43:57which soon turned into one of horror as they heard those words.
00:44:05Hi, Quinn here. Wondering what happens next?
00:44:08If you want to jump the queue and unleash all episodes,
00:44:11click on the link here and install the Pocket FM app.
00:44:19Hey, when have I ever messed up?
00:44:21Logan complained.
00:44:22It's pretty obvious that as soon as they find a student who has been missing for a while
00:44:26and comes back in tattered clothes from a planet that had suffered a Dalki attack,
00:44:30the first thing they would do is take him to the medical facility.
00:44:34It was something the others hadn't thought about.
00:44:37They had all been too busy and focused on their problems.
00:44:40They didn't think this through.
00:44:41As they took Peter to the medical facility,
00:44:43Haley went ahead and ran a general check on Peter's condition.
00:44:47She hooked Peter up to a large tube-like machine.
00:44:50The machine would show his internals and display his insides,
00:44:53as well as see if there was something wrong with any of his organs, including his heart.
00:44:58This was where Logan's ability had come to its advantage.
00:45:01Logan was able to fake a sickness and enter the medical facility beforehand.
00:45:06During this time, he had touched every machine available there.
00:45:10While doing so, he had taken control of the machines.
00:45:13It looks like you're in perfect condition, Haley said as Peter lifted him outside of the machine.
00:45:18Now I just need to ask you a few questions.
00:45:21Logan had come up with a backstory that was plausible according to the situation.
00:45:26It detailed how the Dalki had attacked their group and he had run away, luckily escaping the fiasco.
00:45:32He traveled through the desert for many days, eventually reaching a shelter.
00:45:36The problem was, it was the wrong shelter.
00:45:39The shelter only had teleporters that linked to other planets,
00:45:43and none back to Earth or the military base,
00:45:46but he found out the shelter he had come from wasn't too far.
00:45:50He stayed until he regained his strength and purchased a map,
00:45:53leading him to the original shelter and eventually returned to the military base.
00:45:58Once the questioning was over, Haley left Peter to be with a soldier,
00:46:02guarding him as he rested while she went off to report to Nathan.
00:46:06So how is the boy? Nathan asked.
00:46:08Thankfully, he seems to be in perfect condition health-wise, but...
00:46:12Haley hesitated.
00:46:14But what? Nathan replied.
00:46:16It seems like his mind isn't all there.
00:46:19Sometimes his response was quite rigid and there seemed to be a lack of emotion.
00:46:23Pio didn't have any of these signs before,
00:46:26although this could be due to the trauma of being attacked by the Dalki.
00:46:29That's great news, Nathan said.
00:46:31As long as the student is fine, it'll be okay.
00:46:34We can inform his parents about the good news for now.
00:46:36Have him rejoin classes tomorrow.
00:46:38As Haley left the room, Nathan went to pick up the files on his desk
00:46:42as he read through them one by one.
00:46:44An orange portal outing? What are they thinking? Nathan said.
00:46:48It was late that night and the others had left the room to go to sleep.
00:46:51Just before they left the room,
00:46:53Fex had spotted something on Logan's workbench.
00:46:56It was a square-shaped portable teleporter.
00:46:59While the others were busy saying their goodbyes while friendly chatting with each other,
00:47:03Fex decided to move closer to have a look.
00:47:06It looked like he had the square teleport device hooked up via some cables
00:47:10leading upward to the computer screen.
00:47:12He can't be trying to crack the thing, can he?
00:47:14This is bad, Fex thought.
00:47:17As everyone headed back to their rooms,
00:47:19Fex managed to pull Quinn to the side just before they were about to part ways.
00:47:23Just a little warning to you, Quinn.
00:47:25The device that Logan has been tinkering around with on his workbench?
00:47:28It's a portal leading back home.
00:47:30You need to do everything you can to stop him.
00:47:32Fex laughed after warning Quinn before he could even ask any questions.
00:47:36What was that all about? Quinn murmured.
00:47:39He then decided to carefully think about what Fex had said.
00:47:43By home, there could only be one place Fex was talking about.
00:47:47It was where the vampires came from.
00:47:49Still unsure whether or not that was somewhere on Earth or another planet,
00:47:53or at least a place hidden from the human eye.
00:47:56He understood that he needed to stop Logan before he figured it out.
00:48:00The only thing Quinn didn't understand was why Fex seemed so concerned.
00:48:04Quinn then thought of his first meeting with Fex.
00:48:07He mentioned something along the lines that he wasn't meant to be here.
00:48:11If what you are thinking is along those lines,
00:48:13then I'm afraid the situation is worse, the system said.
00:48:16Based on the boy's young age and at the same time, his great skill,
00:48:20it would be wise to assume he holds a high position in one of the vampire families.
00:48:25If he is not here on orders, then they will send others on his trail to retrieve him.
00:48:29We need to be careful.
00:48:31The next day, the first-year students were called into the assembly hall for a meeting once again.
00:48:36Nathan walked on to the stage.
00:48:38Okay, I'm not one for speeches, so let's get to the point, Nathan said.
00:48:43This year the military has decided to expand their operation
00:48:46and get more aggressive in planetary explorations, Nathan explained.
00:48:51So what does that mean for you guys?
00:48:53Well, instead of the normal green portal,
00:48:55you guys get to jump ahead and explore an orange portal instead.
00:48:59Hearing the news, the students suddenly broke into gossip.
00:49:03An orange portal this soon? I thought they only did that with the second-years.
00:49:07Why would they do this to us, especially after the Dalki attack?
00:49:10Silence! Nathan shouted.
00:49:12Don't worry, there will be two sergeants sent out with you on this journey.
00:49:16Leo, head of the beast weapon class, and Faye.
00:49:19Faye then took over and walked to the podium.
00:49:21You will remain in your teams of five while traveling in the larger group of fifty.
00:49:26Each team will be given a certain device that would be used to survey the land and map out the terrain.
00:49:31The data recorded will be used to automatically create a world map
00:49:35and other maps for future use on the planet.
00:49:38More details will be explained once the devices have been given to you.
00:49:43The hall of students quickly shifted around
00:49:45with everyone getting into the same groups they were in before.
00:49:48Quinn, Vorden, and Layla remained in one group.
00:49:51Peter, now known as Pio, had decided to come over to join Quinn's group.
00:49:56So what do we do about the fifth person? Vorden inquired.
00:50:00As Quinn looked around the room, he noticed once again that Fex was all on his own.
00:50:05Seeing this, Quinn shouted,
00:50:07Fex! Come, join us over here!
00:50:09Fex came rushing over towards the others.
00:50:11I guess you guys realized how lame your group is, Fex said,
00:50:15his tone indicating that he was proud of himself.
00:50:18So you immediately needed me to boost it up a level, well, if you insist.
00:50:23Upon hearing that, an awkward smile made its way to Quinn's face.
00:50:27He merely wanted to be close to Fex,
00:50:29hoping he would eventually learn more about the vampire world.
00:50:33While everyone was huddled up in their groups,
00:50:35there seemed to be three stray students that had walked up to the front of the assembly hall,
00:50:40going straight to stand by Fe's side.
00:50:42As she looked into the crowd of people, she started to look at each of the groups.
00:50:47Every single one of them was already filled with five people.
00:50:51You there, and you!
00:50:53She surveyed the room one more time, and her eye had managed to capture Vorden.
00:50:57And you! You can head to those at the back, she said.
00:51:01Vorden was the one with the most knowledge in the group,
00:51:04and he was saying how it varied from place to place.
00:51:07The orange portal was amidst two stages.
00:51:10Once the whole planet had been explored,
00:51:12they would use the information that they had gathered to update its status to green or red.
00:51:17Just then, a voice echoed loudly within the hall.
00:51:20Hello? Sia said as she entered the circle.
00:51:23You! Vorden replied, shocked that he saw Sia.
00:51:27What are you doing here?
00:51:29Sergeant Fe has asked me to join your team, Sia explained.
00:51:32Right now, everyone in their team knew of each other's abilities.
00:51:36However, Sia knew nothing.
00:51:38If she was to join the team, it would only slow them down.
00:51:42Sia then looked at each of the members.
00:51:45So I'm already acquainted with the hottie and puppy eyes over there, she said,
00:51:49referring to both Vorden and Layla.
00:51:51But what about the rest of you?
00:51:53Then she pointed at each one of them as she continued to provide them with nicknames.
00:51:57Average Joe over there, pointing to Quinn.
00:52:01Dead Eyes, pointing to Peter.
00:52:03And...
00:52:04When she got to Fex, she paused slightly.
00:52:07Go on then, Fex said. Compliment me on my good looks.
00:52:11Arrogant young master type, she said.
00:52:14Sia looked defeated and appeared like she didn't want to be in the group at all,
00:52:18not realizing that they felt the same way.
00:52:20Well, we better get to introducing everyone then.
00:52:23If we have to work as a team, I guess the first thing we need to know is about everyone's abilities, right?
00:52:28Sia asked.
00:52:30When the question asking about their abilities arose,
00:52:32everyone in the circle was a bit hesitant to answer.
00:52:35I don't have an ability.
00:52:37Quinn quickly answered all the while.
00:52:39After seeing this, she quickly ignored him and moved on to the next person.
00:52:43Quinn was fine with this.
00:52:45I already know Leila's, and most people learned about that pretty boy after the event with the second years in the assembly hall.
00:52:51That means I just need to know yours, Sia said as she looked at Peter.
00:52:56Peter then gave Sia a rather uncordial glance, since he wasn't in a great mood.
00:53:01What annoyed him wasn't Sia's attitude towards him, but her disregard for Quinn, his master.
00:53:07I can show you firsthand if you want, Peter said, raising his fist.
00:53:12Peter! Quinn snapped.
00:53:14So Peter immediately put his fist down and went back to his master's side.
00:53:18What the hell was that all about? Sia asked in bewilderment.
00:53:22Don't you think you should tell us your ability first before asking for ours? Borden questioned.
00:53:28Well, my ability will be a little hard to explain, so why don't I just show you?
00:53:33Sia looked at all the people in the group.
00:53:36At first, she would have tried using her ability against Peter.
00:53:39However, judging by how he acted, she didn't want to do that now.
00:53:43Out of all the people in the group, there seemed to be one target that stood out as the weakest.
00:53:48As Sia lifted her hand, smoke gradually appeared on top of her palms.
00:53:53The smoke was colored in the shade of blue that the skies had.
00:53:57It started to form a certain shape. Its body was similarly hued to the smoke.
00:54:02After a brief window, a pointed blade emerged on one end of the fully formed, thin rod.
00:54:08The final product was a short spear, spanning half of Sia's height, made of animate smoke.
00:54:14Without warning, she looked towards her target and threw the spear.
00:54:18It flew through the air and managed to hit Quinn, dead in the chest.
00:54:22Quinn! Layla shouted. Are you okay?
00:54:25When the spear had made contact with Quinn, he felt no pain.
00:54:29Although he could feel the object piercing him, it didn't seem to have inflicted any physical damage.
00:54:34No bruises, scratches, or holes where blood could trickle.
00:54:38Still, there was definitely an effect.
00:54:41Part of his energy felt like it was being absorbed by the weapon.
00:54:45It was a similar feeling to when he was out in the sun, only a lot weaker.
00:54:49Finally, the notification sound was heard.
00:54:52You have been affected by Spirit Spear. All stats have been reduced by 10%.
00:54:59What did you do to me? Quinn said, his anger evident in his voice that became a bit deeper.
00:55:06The others had never seen Quinn like this before, so they were stunned.
00:55:10Meanwhile, filled with rage, Quinn started to walk towards Sia.
00:55:15Right now, Quinn was unsure what Sia's skill was.
00:55:18All he knew was it had reduced his stats by 10%.
00:55:22If this was a permanent effect, then he would have lost a lot of hard work.
00:55:27Is this guy really a level 1? Sia thought as she looked into the anger that was swimming in Quinn's eyes.
00:55:33She wasn't sure if she imagined it or not, but she thought she could see the color of his eyes slowly starting to turn red.
00:55:40Hey Quinn, relax! Fex said as he jumped in between the two of them, before Quinn could even act.
00:55:46He then leaned forward and whispered to Quinn, making sure his body and head were blocking Sia from seeing him.
00:55:53Quinn, your eyes, they're red! You need to control your anger and calm down, Fex advised.
00:55:59However, as Quinn thought about how hard he had worked to gather those stat points, and them going away just like that, his anger started to boil again.
00:56:09Spirit spear has worn off, stats have returned to normal.
00:56:13The spear that impaled his chest slowly dissipated into thin air, and the energy seemed to return to his body.
00:56:20At the same time, his mind was suddenly cleared along with his anger.
00:56:24Hey, did you really think I would hurt you in front of all these teachers and students? It looks like I've joined a team of crazy people, Sia complained.
00:56:32A support ability? Vorden said.
00:56:35Sia simply nodded as a response to Vorden's query.
00:56:38It allows a user to form spirit weapons in their mind. When this spirit hits its target, it can either act as a buff or debuff.
00:56:46When my ability hits, it is able to debuff the target for 5 seconds, and then the effect wears off.
00:56:52Because I'm only a level 3 though, the amount of time the spear lasts is only 3 seconds, and the distance I can throw the spear is quite short.
00:57:00The others didn't want to admit it, but having Sia on the team would be a great addition. Support type abilities were greatly sought after.
00:57:08Anyway, it looks like this group won't amount to much, Sia uttered.
00:57:12So why don't we just meet up on the day of the portal outing? There's no point training together within the two days left, prior to the expedition.
