Transcript

00:00:00and learning that the matter had something to do with Quinn,

00:00:02a particular person had found out that he could be in trouble.

00:00:05In the dark back room of Vorden's mind,

00:00:07Syl had stood up and was interested in what they had to say.

00:00:09Most things seemed uninteresting to him,

00:00:11and with nothing happening so far that relied on Vorden using him,

00:00:14he had remained quiet.

00:00:15He listened carefully while standing by Vorden on his left side,

00:00:18and Ratten was there on his right.

00:00:20The explanation had just finished,

00:00:22as Fex asked Vorden to gather Quinn's blood.

00:00:24Well, of course, we're not going to agree to that, right?

00:00:27Ratten asked.

00:00:27Hey, I know I'm crazy, and I'll fight anything,

00:00:30but do you remember what happened last time?

00:00:32He turned into that bald-headed monster.

00:00:34Sorry, but I'm not fighting in this one.

00:00:36Ratten, didn't you just say you would fight anything?

00:00:39Vorden replied back, annoyed.

00:00:40Sorry, I refuse to fight A.

00:00:43Kniving that's that ugly with no plus side.

00:00:45At least when fighting a beast we get a crystal out of it.

00:00:48A human, well that's just fun, but that.

00:00:50After hearing what Ratten had to say,

00:00:52Vorden was concerned and was hesitant whether or not to agree to the plan.

00:00:55Quinn was definitely strong.

00:00:57If it was the Quinn from a few months back,

00:00:59then maybe without Ratten's help and a strong ability,

00:01:01he would be able to knock Quinn out and gather some blood.

00:01:03Right now, he would need at least two strong abilities to increase his chances.

00:01:07It wasn't just a question of winning such a fight,

00:01:09but being strong enough to overpower Quinn to the point where he could win

00:01:12without having to badly hurt him.

00:01:13He could always try to find an excuse to ask about the blood,

00:01:16but he couldn't think of anything right now

00:01:18and needed a backup plan in case that didn't work.

00:01:20IT looked like Fex's suggestion of beating,

00:01:22and knocking him out was the best one.

00:01:24The question was whether he could do it without Ratten's help.

00:01:27Say, we'll do it, I one half, I one half, I one half,

00:01:29Syl said, all of a sudden.

00:01:31This response came as a surprise to Vorden.

00:01:33The whole reason they had gotten close with Quinn in the first place

00:01:36was due to the way Syl saw Quinn.

00:01:38If we don't do this, the bad people will take Quinn away, right?

00:01:40Syl asked at IT seemed like he had understood more than he thought.

00:01:44Vorden felt bad for underestimating Syl.

00:01:46Maybe he was slowly getting better.

00:01:48His mind returning to what it once was.

00:01:50Yes, you're right.

00:01:51If we do this, then the bad people won't take Quinn away.

00:01:54With Syl agreeing to help and fight Quinn just in case,

00:01:56they decided to take the job and get the flask.

00:01:58Vorden asked Layla to head back to her hotel room

00:02:00and prepare whatever she thought might help.

00:02:03In her room, there were still a few items she had from Pure

00:02:05that should be able to help block out the cameras around the place.

00:02:08The truth was, Vorden just wanted Layla to leave him alone

00:02:11while he made some preparations of his own.

00:02:13He didn't actually expect her to have some useful things.

00:02:15If there was a chance he was going to fight Quinn,

00:02:17then he needed the strongest powers he could find,

00:02:20and he knew just the place to get them.

00:02:22Inside her hotel room, Layla went under her bed

00:02:24and pulled out what looked like a small metal box.

00:02:26On the front was a keypad where she proceeded to input the code in her mind.

00:02:30Soon, the small metal box was opened,

00:02:32revealing the black ball that was usually in there.

00:02:34This time though, the black ball looked a little different than before,

00:02:37as a blue flashing light was blinking on the front.

00:02:40This indicated that there had been a message left on it.

00:02:42Placing the blinking black ball on her bed,

00:02:44she chose to ignore it.

00:02:46No, I am no longer a part of Pure or that life.

00:02:49With her palm faced towards the ball, she started to concentrate.

00:02:53Slowly, components of the black ball were being pulled out piece by piece.

00:02:56They were gradually lifted away from the black ball,

00:02:59and eventually, the ball stopped blinking.

00:03:01Inside the box, there were still a few more things inside.

00:03:04She quickly grabbed them and placed it in the pouch around her waist.

00:03:07They were special tools that she had been trained with her whole life,

00:03:10although she hadn't used them that much since it was her first mission,

00:03:12and she hadn't really been given any tasks.

00:03:15She quickly went to leave the room to meet up with Vorden at their designated spot.

00:03:18But before doing so, she turned around one more time and took a look at the black ball.

00:03:22As she closed the door, she muttered,

00:03:24Goodbye, Agent 100.

00:03:26Most of the students were still outside enjoying the atmosphere,

00:03:28checking out the stalls and playing all the games.

00:03:31It was busier than the first day,

00:03:32because the public had also been invited to check out the place as well.

00:03:35It wasn't too late, and everyone was filled with excitement.

00:03:38However, Vorden was not one of these people.

00:03:40He continuously looked around the area to see if he could find the person he was looking for.

00:03:44Eventually, on his way to his destination,

00:03:46his search had led him back to the block.

00:03:48Block game Quinn had played the other day.

00:03:50There were more people stationed outside, and there was even a large queue.

00:03:53It seemed like the video had made the game go viral.

00:03:56While looking at the line,

00:03:57he could only see students making up the majority of the queue.

00:04:00There were some with high levels on their wristwatch,

00:04:02but he couldn't tell what their abilities were just by looking at them.

00:04:04IT was a shame that Berg, one of the Sunshield Fire users,

00:04:08was taking part in the fighting tournament.

00:04:10The strongest students currently in the school were all underneath the arena,

00:04:13and were in that event.

00:04:14This meant Vorden only had one choice, but had no idea where to find them.

00:04:18However, it looked like luck hadn't given up on him yet,

00:04:20for the girlie-looking man who sat by them today was also by the gaming area.

00:04:24Wasn't he one of the four leaders?

00:04:25The leader of the Greylash family?

00:04:27Owen, if I remember correctly?

00:04:29Vorden thought.

00:04:30Owen was wearing what looked like a fairly large, traditional-looking gown.

00:04:33It covered him from his shoulders, and went all the way down to his feet.

00:04:37It was white in color and suited him well,

00:04:39but only made his girly features stand out more.

00:04:41While Vorden was looking in his direction,

00:04:43the two pairs of eyes seemed to catch each other, and the man gave a wink.

00:04:46Owen had left the booth of the game he was watching,

00:04:48and decided to walk over towards Vorden.

00:04:50Seeing this, Vorden strangely chose to walk away from the premises,

00:04:54up to the ledge where there were next to no people.

00:04:56Oh, he wants me to follow him.

00:04:58Huh.

00:04:58Well, this should be interesting, Owen thought.

00:05:00Owen decided to play along with whatever games the student had,

00:05:04remembering that both he and the other one had reacted strongly after witnessing the video.

00:05:08He had returned to the gaming area tonight,

00:05:10expecting for the student to perhaps return.

00:05:12Gaming for he was the one in the video.

00:05:14The other students thought of the same thing,

00:05:15but it looked like that wouldn't be happening.

00:05:17All the other students seemed dull and boring after Wynn.

00:05:20Seeing the video, as soon as the man had come over,

00:05:23without saying a word,

00:05:24Vorden had gone in for a quick and unsuspected grab.

00:05:27All he needed to do was get in a single touch,

00:05:29and the powers would be copied.

00:05:31IT was truly unexpected.

00:05:32Owen had expected that the student only wanted to talk,

00:05:35but his reactions were far quicker than the boys.

00:05:37Releasing that Vorden's intent was not to hurt him,

00:05:40he quickly thought that there must have been some other reason for this strange attack.

00:05:43There was no power behind the strike,

00:05:45and it was too sudden in front of too many people.

00:05:48Owen quickly opened up his gown,

00:05:49and from his waist, he pulled out a metallic fan.

00:05:52He quickly spread it open and blocked Vorden's fingers from touching him.

00:05:55However, Vorden was persistent and tried again with his other hand,

00:05:59but that too was knocked away.

00:06:01Not knowing Vorden's true intentions,

00:06:03Owen stepped back and initiated a small spark in his right hand.

00:06:06It was out of sight for others to see since his body was blocking most of it,

00:06:09plus he had purposely made it very small to IT was a warning.

00:06:12If Vorden tried to strike again,

00:06:14he wouldn't hesitate to use his powers.

00:06:15I have no choice, Vorden thought.

00:06:17This is for Quinn.

00:06:19The look in Vorden's eyes suddenly changed,

00:06:21even being felt by Owen.

00:06:22He had never felt such a strong presence come from a student before.

00:06:25He thought that he was right to think those kids from before were interesting.

00:06:28Using the fan, he covered the bright smile on his face.

00:06:32Never before had a student made him feel this way.

00:06:34My name is Vorden Blade from the Blade family.

00:06:37Using my name, I request you to stand down.

00:06:39Answer my request, and give me your hand.

00:06:41Upon hearing the words spoken from the student,

00:06:44he now knew it was no laughing matter.

00:06:46The smile he had before dropped in an instant,

00:06:48and as quick as the smile had dropped,

00:06:50so did Owen with his request, and gave Vorden his hand.

00:06:53Chapter 323.

00:06:54The Power of a Secret.

00:06:56With his sizable white gown, and hair covering his face,

00:06:59Owen wasn't very recognizable to the outside people.

00:07:02Unlike the other family leaders, no one knew what he looked like.

00:07:05Today was the first time the newly appointed head was revealed,

00:07:07and that was only found out to the people in the booth.

00:07:10Sure, there were some like Quinn,

00:07:11and his group who had paid attention to who was sitting in those seats.

00:07:14But none that knew about the situation.

00:07:15When looking at someone so young,

00:07:17they would have never suspected them of being a leader.

00:07:20The people around outside weren't even paying attention

00:07:22to such a thing that was happening off to the side.

00:07:24They were far too involved in their own things,

00:07:25or the gaming center that was close by.

00:07:27After learning about Vorden's true name,

00:07:29he had no choice and gave his hand.

00:07:31The excitement that was felt when following the student

00:07:33now turned into horror.

00:07:35Although his heart was beating rapidly,

00:07:36and he was a little scared,

00:07:38there still was a little spark in the back of his mind.

00:07:41I wonder why he needs to borrow my power?

00:07:43His curiosity to find out new and exciting.

00:07:46Things had always been his downfall.

00:07:48He even felt that his current views were different from the head,

00:07:50and those around him.

00:07:52Owen was always interested in the younger generation,

00:07:54who was closer to his age.

00:07:55He wanted to know how they felt about the way things were currently run.

00:07:58However, if he was to try to get involved

00:07:59or intervene in a situation like this,

00:08:01it would have possibly been one of the most dangerous things to do.

00:08:05Vorden said,

00:08:06Letting go of Owen's hand,

00:08:07and no matter how interested Owen was,

00:08:09now is not the time to get involved with such a dangerous individual.

00:08:12He took a few steps back and planned to get away,

00:08:15but seeing his actions,

00:08:15Vorden called out to him immediately.

00:08:17Wait.

00:08:17Vorden called out.

00:08:18I want you to take me to where the other leaders are.

00:08:21Hearing this came as a considerable shock to Owen.

00:08:23Was he planning to use their powers too?

00:08:25The big four leaders' powers were beyond a level eight ability.

00:08:29It was to the point where it couldn't be measured.

00:08:30When looking at Vorden,

00:08:32it was clear he was a student,

00:08:33whoever he had trouble with or whoever he needed to deal with.

00:08:36Just his power alone should have been enough.

00:08:37Now the excitement was too much,

00:08:39and he had even forgotten to hide the grin on his face.

00:08:42Maybe the events won't be so boring after all.

00:08:44With no choice,

00:08:45Owen walked,

00:08:46and Vorden followed behind.

00:08:48On the way,

00:08:48they quickly went to one of the stalls

00:08:50to purchase a change of clothing for Vorden.

00:08:52He too was now in a large white gown that was a little too big,

00:08:55as part of the back was dragging along the floor.

00:08:57Did I ask this really necessary?

00:08:59He asked out of course.

00:09:00Owen chuckled as the two of them continued to walk.

00:09:03Eventually,

00:09:04they had reached their destination.

00:09:05It was a hotel room that was slightly larger

00:09:07and fancier than the rest,

00:09:09hotel number one.

00:09:10This was where all of the higher class members

00:09:12that were invited to the event were staying.

00:09:14The rest had to get a train out to other parts of the city

00:09:15and come in early in the morning.

00:09:17Before entering the building,

00:09:18the two of them stopped outside.

00:09:20Do you know how to use my powers?

00:09:21Owen asked.

00:09:22Not everything,

00:09:23but I should be able to do something.

00:09:25Vorden replied as he started to twirl his hand around.

00:09:28Particular elemental abilities were quite similar in use,

00:09:30but reacted differently when being used.

00:09:33An example of this was when gathering water.

00:09:35To gather water and wind,

00:09:37one did the same thing,

00:09:38but water would be a bit harder to control

00:09:39due to the weight and shape of it.

00:09:41When twirling his hand in a circular motion,

00:09:43he tried to imagine the ability as a water one.

00:09:46Suddenly following the palm of his hand,

00:09:48a stream of electric would follow it.

00:09:50He continued to move his hands in a circular motion,

00:09:52and now a full circle of blue electrical light could be seen.

00:09:56Quick learner as expected,

00:09:57Owen said impressed.

00:09:59The kids at our school would cry in horror

00:10:00if they found out you could produce something like that

00:10:02on your first try.

00:10:03Owen then opened up two of his fingers

00:10:05and created a connected spark,

00:10:07passing the blue lightning bee.

00:10:09A tween his thumb to his finger.

00:10:10This should do.

00:10:11There is no need to perform what you did before.

00:10:14With the quick lesson over,

00:10:15the two of them walked up to the front of the hotel lobby

00:10:17where the guards were stationed.

00:10:18Owen was allowed to pass,

00:10:19but Vorden was stopped.

00:10:21That kid is with me.

00:10:22He is a member of the Grey Lash family.

00:10:23Owen said with a wink towards Vorden.

00:10:25He suddenly realized why now they had the quick lesson before.

00:10:28Opening up his thumb and his index finger,

00:10:30he had presented to the guards the same trick

00:10:32that Owen had shown moments before.

00:10:34There was no better proof

00:10:35that one was part of the Grey Lash family

00:10:36other than displaying it with their powers.

00:10:38Usually this wouldn't have been enough,

00:10:40but with one of the big four,

00:10:41who is also considered one of the leaders

00:10:42of the current United Earth Alliance.

00:10:44They allowed him to pass.

00:10:45The elevator was taken to one of the top floors,

00:10:47and when they arrived,

00:10:48there were only a few rooms with large doors.

00:10:51These doors all had different decorations on the outside.

00:10:54In the center of the double door,

00:10:55going over the parting point,

00:10:56was the engraving of the family's crest.

00:10:59No guards.

00:11:00Vorden noticed.

00:11:01This was upon the request of the four themselves.

00:11:03They preferred it this way.

00:11:05Secrecy was a big part of their power,

00:11:07and Vorden knew that better than anyone right now.

00:11:09They were standing in front of what looked like

00:11:11a large shield with a flame on it.

00:11:13Owen knocked on the door,

00:11:14and was quite pleased he would be interacting

00:11:15with Bernie once again.

00:11:17Those blasted soldiers.

00:11:18I told them not to disturb me.

00:11:20I'm going to have to speak to Owen about this.

00:11:21This treatment is unacceptable.

00:11:24The ramblings of a deep-voiced man

00:11:25could be heard through the doors.

00:11:27It seemed like the man was trying to speak quietly,

00:11:29but he had one of those voices

00:11:30that would be carried and heard throughout no matter what.

00:11:33The doors flew open wide and fast,

00:11:36and in its place was a large round-bellied man

00:11:38with messy red hair.

00:11:39The trait of the Sunshield family.

00:11:41The instant the doors opened,

00:11:43Bernie's ears started to produce steam

00:11:44at the sight of the man in front of him, you.

00:11:46He pointed at Owen.

00:11:47So it looks like you really wanted that fight after all.

00:11:50To come to my room in the middle of the night.

00:11:52He had completely ignored the person standing next to him,

00:11:54and continued to focus only on Owen in case things got ugly.

00:11:58Owen had placed his hand on his metallic fan.

00:12:00Vorden now realized if he was planning to use such a weapon

00:12:02against one of the big four,

00:12:03it couldn't have been a regular fan

00:12:05but a high-class beast weapon instead.

00:12:07As much as I would like to teach you

00:12:08to not judge a book by its cover.

00:12:10I have come for over reasons.

00:12:12Owen tried to explain,

00:12:13but it seemed like Bernie wasn't listening at all.

00:12:15Flames from both of his forearms

00:12:16were slowly starting to peer upward towards his elbow,

00:12:19and a red-hot tribal pattern was shown on his skin.

00:12:21This was something Vorden hadn't seen when he thought with Berg.

00:12:25Is it part of his sole weapon?

00:12:26Realizing this, there was a chance this fig,

00:12:29HT, could get serious fast.

00:12:31Owen quickly stepped to the side

00:12:32and presented both of his hands at Vorden.

00:12:35This man is part of the Blade family,

00:12:36and he has asked for assistance.

00:12:39Hearing the name,

00:12:40Bunny's reaction had immediately changed just like Owen's.

00:12:43The flames had died down,

00:12:44and the tribal tattoos that went up his arm disappeared as well.

00:12:47Bernie gave the person next to him one look

00:12:49and knew what he wanted instantly

00:12:50and presented his hand while looking away,

00:12:53making sure not to make eye contact.

00:12:54If that's all you came for,

00:12:56get out of here.

00:12:57I was just about to take a nice hot bath,

00:12:59Bernie said,

00:13:00but now with a lot less anger in his voice,

00:13:02making sure to not offend the person in front of him.

00:13:04Now with two of the strongest powers in the world,

00:13:07Vorden was confident he could deal with Quinn.

00:13:09There was no need for him to get the Brie family power

00:13:11and inform more people that he was here.

00:13:13Her power was to control beasts,

00:13:15and there weren't any around here.

00:13:17Besides,

00:13:17even if there were,

00:13:18it would be too difficult to move

00:13:19and would cause a huge uproar.

00:13:21Then there was only Jack left,

00:13:23the newest addition to the big families.

00:13:25Unlike the other families,

00:13:26it had no history

00:13:27and was only recently created.

00:13:29The others had been going on for generations,

00:13:31even before the war,

00:13:32with the Dalky.

00:13:33If Vorden was to ask him for anything,

00:13:35he wasn't even sure he would comply.

00:13:37However,

00:13:37there was another reason.

00:13:39With this much power following through his body,

00:13:41if he was to meet Jack right now,

00:13:43there was a good chance

00:13:44he wouldn't hold back

00:13:44and burn him to a crisp.

00:13:45It was quite possible it would ignite a war,

00:13:48and that wasn't his decision to make.

00:13:50He wasn't the leader of the Blade family,

00:13:51and if they found out

00:13:52he was abusing their name like this,

00:13:54even he could get into trouble.

00:13:55I don't have to tell you guys

00:13:56that I was never here.

00:13:58Vorden said,

00:13:59But before I go,

00:14:00I need one more thing.

00:14:01Is there a place or a spot I can use

00:14:03where no one will know

00:14:03if I'm using these powers?

00:14:05Bernie huffed out a puff of hot air

00:14:06before answering.

00:14:07There is,

00:14:08I often use it to cool down once in a while.

00:14:10They created the room with me in mind,

00:14:12and of course,

00:14:13there are no cameras,

00:14:13even if they were everything

00:14:14would have been burnt by now.

00:14:16It's an empty room with nothing inside,

00:14:18and the walls are soundproof.

00:14:19Whatever you're planning to do

00:14:20and there nobody will be able to tell,

00:14:22it's a place only permitted to be used by us.

00:14:24It was something I had to fight hard

00:14:25for them to make.

00:14:26Perfect.

00:14:27Vorden replied.

00:14:28The two leaders had scary thoughts

00:14:30in their mind

00:14:30at what possibly could Vorden need the room for,

00:14:32and why did he need the two of their powers,

00:14:34but they didn't ask

00:14:35and only told Vorden where to go.

00:14:37Chapter 324

00:14:38The Crazy Tenth

00:14:39Down the hotel lobby,

00:14:41the two boys Fex and Logan

00:14:42were heading towards Logan's room.

00:14:44After finding out about the plan,

00:14:46Logan was happy to hear

00:14:47that his time hadn't been wasted.

00:14:48He informed Fex that plenty of things in his room

00:14:51might have been of great use to them.

00:14:52During the walk to Logan's room,

00:14:54it was a quiet one though.

00:14:55The two boys were hardly left alone with each other,

00:14:57and their first meeting was quite an eventful one.

00:15:00Fex didn't hold any hard feelings

00:15:01about Logan blasting him across the room,

00:15:03but thought that Logan might have felt wrong about it.

00:15:05However,

00:15:06Logan hadn't even thought about the situation

00:15:07even once before.

00:15:09The reason for his silence

00:15:10was just because he wasn't much of a talker

00:15:12when he wanted to be.

00:15:13When he had something to say,

00:15:14he would speak all out,

00:15:16explaining every little detail.

00:15:18But most of the time,

00:15:19he wouldn't be speaking,

00:15:20spending all his time

00:15:21thinking about things inside his head.

00:15:23Still,

00:15:23Fex couldn't think of a better person

00:15:25who would be able to help him with this task.

00:15:27He had seen how helpful he was

00:15:28during the True Dream plan,

00:15:29and he needed his smarts.

00:15:31The two of them entered Logan's room,

00:15:32and Fex's eyes opened wide

00:15:34at what he could see.

00:15:35Unlike the other places,

00:15:37Logan seemed to be quite different from the rest.

00:15:38Is all this stuff yours?

00:15:41Fex asked,

00:15:42still looking around the room in amazement,

00:15:43I know.

00:15:44It's a shame I couldn't bring more stuff with me.

00:15:46But at least I don't feel uncomfortable

00:15:47with all this around,

00:15:49Logan said as he proceeded to head to his desk.

00:15:51The room looked like it had been completely converted.

00:15:53Each student was given the same size room,

00:15:55and the layout of the rooms was the same.

00:15:58Yet Logan,

00:15:58somehow in the short time here,

00:16:00had managed to transform the whole place

00:16:02into a miniature version

00:16:03of his own room back at the academy.

00:16:05The desk was now filled with a laptop

00:16:06that had multiple gadgets and wires attached to it.

00:16:09The room had several other gadgets

00:16:10and chests around and about in different room areas

00:16:12and digital maps

00:16:13and other things were displayed on the walled.

00:16:15He then further realized that Logan

00:16:16had only just been knocked out of the tournament

00:16:18and spent very little time in the room.

00:16:20There were so many questions that Fex wanted to ask,

00:16:22but there wasn't enough time.

00:16:24I'm not sure if you knew,

00:16:25but if you didn't pick me to help you

00:16:26break Peter out from the underground arena,

00:16:28then I was going to volunteer anyway,

00:16:30Logan said as he pulled up a 3D model of the floor

00:16:32directly underneath the arena.

00:16:34I wasn't too bothered about the event,

00:16:35I'm sure you know,

00:16:36but I was concerned about Peter.

00:16:38In case Quinn or the others changed their mind,

00:16:40I tried and tried to find a way to help Peter escape.

00:16:43When trying to find a way from the dungeon,

00:16:45it was impossible for me

00:16:46as I had no clue what it looked like.

00:16:48But with the underground arena,

00:16:49I was able to explore and keep track of the guards

00:16:51and everyone's attention personally.

00:16:53I came up with a plan,

00:16:54but there was still a problem.

00:16:56Even if we could get Peter out,

00:16:57what do we do then?

00:16:58They would soon notice

00:16:59and prepare a search for him.

00:17:00We're in the middle of military base one,

00:17:02and we know where nothing is.

00:17:03With nowhere for him to go,

00:17:05breaking him out would be useless

00:17:06and would only further get us into trouble.

00:17:08It seems like my research

00:17:10will be put into use after all.

00:17:11I'm assuming yo,

00:17:13you,

00:17:13or whoever was planning to take you

00:17:15already has a plan to leave this place.

00:17:17Logan then proceeded to show

00:17:18and explained effects all the small details.

00:17:21Logan had kept track of where each camera was positioned

00:17:23and its range of motion.

00:17:25He even had the guard's schedule planned in his head,

00:17:27the one standing by the events

00:17:28as well as the two that were always by Peter's side.

00:17:30The level of detail was incredible,

00:17:32and when looking around the room,

00:17:33he noticed there had been

00:17:34an immense amount of research

00:17:35that had been put into trying

00:17:36to get Peter out of the dungeon,

00:17:37as well did I guess he means a lot to you.

00:17:39A true friend, huh?

00:17:40Fex said.

00:17:41Logan thought about this for a while did I guess,

00:17:43Logan replied.

00:17:44After meeting Quinn,

00:17:45I have made a few companions,

00:17:47but Peter was more than a friend.

00:17:48He was an assistant,

00:17:49and it would be hard for me

00:17:50to find an assistant as good as him.

00:17:52Fex was slightly confused by Logan's words.

00:17:55He couldn't imagine Peter being a good assistant,

00:17:57but soon released based on Logan's personality.

00:18:00Peter was probably the best one for him.

00:18:01Never asked any questions,

00:18:03remained silent most of the time,

00:18:05never went to sleep,

00:18:06and would do as asked.

00:18:07In a way,

00:18:08Peter was like a robot.

00:18:09And the only thing Logan was surrounded by

00:18:11most of the time,

00:18:12were tech-like things.

00:18:13A robot would be the perfect assistant.

00:18:15With the plan and all the details ready,

00:18:17Logan left the room,

00:18:18but not before erasing

00:18:19all the details off his computer.

00:18:20He then walked over to the corner of the room

00:18:22and pulled out a small metallic box.

00:18:24Once opening the package,

00:18:25inside were six different masks

00:18:27that covered the bottom part of one's face.

00:18:29He then walked over

00:18:30and presented the masks to Fex.

00:18:32What's this?

00:18:32Fex asked,

00:18:33Do you remember Quinn's mask?

00:18:35While making his,

00:18:36we went through a few prototypes.

00:18:38It was a waste to throw them away,

00:18:39so I decided to keep them

00:18:40and made some enhancements.

00:18:42The masks can communicate with each other

00:18:43as well as be used as a voice changer.

00:18:45It will be used to keep our identity hidden.

00:18:47Looking down at the mask,

00:18:49he could see there were indeed plenty of designs,

00:18:50and that's when he noticed there was one

00:18:52that looked a little like a bowl.

00:18:54It suited him well,

00:18:55especially since he had hands stilled

00:18:56that I'll take this one.

00:18:57The two placed the masks in their back pocket

00:18:59as they left the hotel room one more time

00:19:01and headed for the elevators.

00:19:03Once inside,

00:19:04they headed down to the first floor

00:19:05and were patiently waiting in the lobby

00:19:07for the next part of their plan.

00:19:08This was important

00:19:09as the timing had to be perfect.

00:19:11When the guards would change shift,

00:19:13this was their moment to get Peter out.

00:19:15The two went over to a table

00:19:16that had several sofas placed around it.

00:19:18It was starting to get late now,

00:19:19so fewer and fewer people

00:19:20were beginning to pass

00:19:21through the hotel lobby area.

00:19:23Once again,

00:19:23the two of them seemed to be sitting in silence,

00:19:25and it was starting to drive Fex a little crazy.

00:19:28They still had a good 20 minutes

00:19:29before they had to make their move,

00:19:30and he was wondering

00:19:31if he could last that long

00:19:33without, say,

00:19:34anything.

00:19:35However, surprisingly,

00:19:36Logan was the first one

00:19:37to speak to Fex

00:19:37that I assume you know a lot of these,

00:19:39yes,

00:19:39originally being from there and all.

00:19:40Logan asked this,

00:19:42Fex replied,

00:19:43then soon releasing what it stood for.

00:19:45Oh, yeah, sorry.

00:19:46Yes,

00:19:46I know a lot.

00:19:47Why?

00:19:48Do you know any that seemed to have an interest

00:19:50in computer systems of the sort?

00:19:51Or advanced in technology?

00:19:53Perhaps even obsessed?

00:19:55Logan asked.

00:19:56After meeting both Fex and Quinn,

00:19:57he could tell there was a clear difference.

00:19:59When handing the mask over to Fex,

00:20:01Logan made sure to make contact,

00:20:03yet no message appeared like the one

00:20:04that had happened when touching Quinn.

00:20:06This meant that the system seemed to be unique to Quinn.

00:20:08Logan was looking for answers to his questions,

00:20:10and possibly thought there was a chance

00:20:12he could find out who created the book Quinn had been given.

00:20:14Whoever had made such a system,

00:20:16it was way beyond anything they currently had.

00:20:19Honestly,

00:20:19the technology we,

00:20:20uh,

00:20:21these use is a little bit more advanced than what you have,

00:20:23but at the same time,

00:20:24it feels old.

00:20:25It's kind of hard to explain.

00:20:26I guess these are quite traditional in a sense,

00:20:28so some are against using technology to better their lives,

00:20:31but we have to rely on it in some cases.

00:20:33Because of this,

00:20:34I don't know anyone specifically who is interested in technology,

00:20:37apart from a few of the young ones like me.

00:20:39Fex replied,

00:20:40interesting,

00:20:41but then who created all your technological advancements

00:20:43if they are more advanced than what we currently have?

00:20:45Logan asked.

00:20:46Fex started to laugh nervously,

00:20:47as he had never really thought about these types of things before.

00:20:50He just took the stuff he had for granted without thinking much about it.

00:20:53I'll be honest,

00:20:54I have no clue.

00:20:55But when you asked about obsessiveness,

00:20:57it does remind me about a story the others used to tell me.

00:21:00You see,

00:21:01just like your head generals of each military base,

00:21:03we also have leaders or council members.

00:21:0513 to be Price,

00:21:06and number 10 was always known to be,

00:21:08well,

00:21:08a bit crazy.

00:21:09Although he wasn't obsessed with the technology,

00:21:11he was obsessed with magic.

00:21:12His powers were unique even for vampires,

00:21:15and I heard some of the vampires' advancements were due to him.

00:21:17But honestly,

00:21:18other than that,

00:21:19I don't know much at all.

00:21:20I'm still young for a vampire,

00:21:21and this was all past my time.

00:21:23IT was a long shot,

00:21:24but it was the only thing Logan could go off.

00:21:27Perhaps if he ever obtained more information about vampires in the future,

00:21:30he could look into this 10th council member more.

00:21:32Just then,

00:21:32they heard a beep from their watches,

00:21:34indicating it was time for them to move.

00:21:36Chapter 325,

00:21:38A Love Triangle.

00:21:39As soon as the timer had gone off,

00:21:41a few little spiders started falling down to the ground from underneath Logan's sleeve.

00:21:45The two boys continued their fake conversation with hand gestures and such,

00:21:49S.O.

00:21:50What's your favorite sandwich?

00:21:51Fex asked,

00:21:52trying to make the conversation look a tad bit more realistic,

00:21:54by asking a real question.

00:21:56However,

00:21:57Logan looked as if he was really struggling to decide his ants.

00:22:00R.

00:22:01He placed his hand on his chin and looked up into a corner.

00:22:03Hmm.

00:22:04I would probably have to say cheese and onion.

00:22:06But since my body doesn't deal with cheese that well,

00:22:09I guess if we were talking about favorites,

00:22:11then it would depend on my cravings at the time.

00:22:13Regarding how the question is phrased,

00:22:15the best sandwich differs.

00:22:16Do you mean the best tasting?

00:22:18Best one for your health.

00:22:19Or perhaps the best ingredients.

00:22:21Eh,

00:22:21I guess you can tell me,

00:22:22all three then?

00:22:23Fex's tone had a nervous vibe to it,

00:22:25as he wasn't expecting a real answer back.

00:22:28The spiders had now fanned out,

00:22:29and once they had completed their tasks,

00:22:31they reported back to the server.

00:22:33Namely,

00:22:33I end the middle of their intense conversation.

00:22:36Logan suddenly stopped and stood up.

00:22:38Let's go.

00:22:39The underground arena was accessible from any hotel room.

00:22:42It was designed this way,

00:22:44so when contestants were eliminated,

00:22:45they could easily rejoin with their military base.

00:22:48This meant that each of the elevators were in some way linked.

00:22:51One would usually require a pass to go to the lower floors,

00:22:54but that wasn't a problem to worry about.

00:22:55Not for Logan anyway.

00:22:57They continued walking through the lobby

00:22:58and headed towards the elevator area.

00:23:00Fex glanced at the camera in the corner

00:23:02and could see a spider falling from it

00:23:03before rejoining back up with Logan.

00:23:05Once the doors opened,

00:23:07they both stepped in.

00:23:08The cameras within and outside the elevators

00:23:10weren't able to capture their figures.

00:23:12The cameras were set to loop footage for two minutes.

00:23:14Once the time was up,

00:23:15it would then begin showing the live feed.

00:23:17It was currently nighttime,

00:23:18and there were no other contestants

00:23:20that would be making their way

00:23:21from the underground up to the lobby.

00:23:22Once they were past these cameras,

00:23:24there would be no more problems

00:23:25since there were no other cameras

00:23:26in the underground section.

00:23:27Logan could assume this was due to the same reason

00:23:29why there weren't any cameras at the school.

00:23:31Many students would be practicing their abilities.

00:23:34Their families simply wouldn't allow them

00:23:35to spy and gather information

00:23:36by looking at what the students were doing.

00:23:38While in the elevator,

00:23:39the two of them placed both their masks

00:23:40over their face.

00:23:41S.O. far.

00:23:42Everything's going well.

00:23:44Fex confidently commented.

00:23:45Now, Vorden, Layla,

00:23:46it's all up to you.

00:23:47Without the blood,

00:23:48everything they were doing was pointless.

00:23:50Vorden told Layla to meet him

00:23:51just outside of the number one

00:23:52military hotel building.

00:23:54He even informed her that he found a place

00:23:55and everything was ready.

00:23:57All she needed to do now

00:23:58was bring Quinn over to the destination

00:24:00since he already told her of his plan beforehand.

00:24:02There was no need for her to use her tools.

00:24:04There would be no cameras inside

00:24:05when Quinn entered the room with Vorden.

00:24:07Her job, there was to be the lookout.

00:24:09Although only members from the Big Four

00:24:11could use the room,

00:24:12that didn't mean they themselves wouldn't.

00:24:13However, there was still the slight chance

00:24:15that Mona Brie or Jack would try to use it.

00:24:17Bernie had informed Vorden

00:24:18that this was extremely unlikely in.

00:24:21All the years the place had been built,

00:24:22it was never once used by them.

00:24:24In fact, he reckoned that he was the only one

00:24:26to have ever used the place.

00:24:28She stood outside Quinn's door

00:24:29and took a deep breath

00:24:30before raising her hand to knock.

00:24:32It felt like the work she was doing now

00:24:33was more like the double agent type stuff back

00:24:35when she was in Pure.

00:24:36These were the things

00:24:37that she had been trained to do.

00:24:39It seemed a little funny

00:24:39that she was still using it

00:24:40despite already leaving them.

00:24:42Okay, let's do this.

00:24:43Just as Layla was about to tap the door

00:24:45with her knuckles,

00:24:46it suddenly opened.

00:24:47Layla, what are you doing here this late?

00:24:49Quinn asked her,

00:24:50but how?

00:24:51She started asking questions in her mind.

00:24:53How did he know someone was by the door?

00:24:55Oh, you don't need to worry.

00:24:57I could smell you were coming.

00:24:58Quinn responded, smell?

00:24:59These words stung her a bit.

00:25:01She was tempted to lift her arms up

00:25:02to see if she really did smell that bad.

00:25:04Upon seeing that she felt somehow insulted,

00:25:07Quinn realized that what he said just now

00:25:08could have been easily misinterpreted.

00:25:10And oh, I didn't mean that you smell.

00:25:13I meant like, you smell great,

00:25:14he said while blushing.

00:25:15You know, because of my sensitive nose and all.

00:25:18The both of them left the room

00:25:19and headed outside towards the military base

00:25:21once Layla said that she wanted to walk for a bit

00:25:23and that she had something important to say.

00:25:25Quinn thought that he already knew

00:25:27what the subject would be.

00:25:28It had to be about Fex's confession.

00:25:30A.S. the two of them were walking.

00:25:31They felt a little awkward

00:25:32because of their previous conversation at the door.

00:25:35Quinn didn't know what to say to make it up to her.

00:25:37While pondering over this matter,

00:25:38Quinn had fallen back a little

00:25:39and was walking just behind Layla.

00:25:41He noticed that he was staring at her

00:25:43from behind a lot more than usual.

00:25:45Due to this,

00:25:46he started to think back about what Fex said,

00:25:47about how he wanted to inform him beforehand

00:25:49since he assumed that there was something going on

00:25:51between the two of them.

00:25:52And now Layla asked to have a private conversation

00:25:54with him as well.

00:25:55No, it can't be does Layla like me?

00:25:57When she asked him to turn her,

00:25:59did she mean something else by it?

00:26:00His mind couldn't help but have these kinds of thoughts.

00:26:03If Layla likes me and Fex likes her,

00:26:05then that means,

00:26:06oh no, I'm in a love triangle.

00:26:09If she's here to confess to me,

00:26:11then what do I say?

00:26:12I can't say yes to her.

00:26:13I can't do this to Fex.

00:26:15While his mind wandered about

00:26:17in this confused and crazy contemplation,

00:26:19the both of them eventually arrived

00:26:20outside a small building behind the hotel.

00:26:23Although it was very plain looking,

00:26:24it was also large at the same time.

00:26:26This reminded Quinn of the storage room

00:26:28where he first found the shadow ability.

00:26:30He wondered why Layla chose this place

00:26:31to converse with him.

00:26:32He could only guess it was due to it

00:26:34being away from everyone else.

00:26:36Layla then turned around and faced him.

00:26:38It looked as if she wanted to say something,

00:26:39but was also struggling on how to say it.

00:26:41Did I know what you want to talk about?

00:26:43Q.

00:26:44Ewan decided to initiate the discussion.

00:26:46He didn't want the situation

00:26:47to be more awkward than it already was.

00:26:49This is about Fex, isn't it?

00:26:50How does he know?

00:26:51She was surprised once again,

00:26:53feeling a bit contemplated.

00:26:54She started to speak.

00:26:56Look, Quinn.

00:26:57Don't need to say anymore.

00:26:59However, Quinn suddenly interrupted her.

00:27:00Quinn, Vorden is waiting for you inside.

00:27:03She blurted out before things

00:27:04really got out of hand.

00:27:05Wait, Vorden?

00:27:06How is he involved in all of this?

00:27:08Quinn was now truly confused

00:27:10about what was going on.

00:27:11Look, I just felt bad about lying,

00:27:12saying that I needed to speak to you.

00:27:14The truth is,

00:27:15Vorden said that he wanted to talk to you.

00:27:17He's inside waiting.

00:27:19Layla then walked over

00:27:19to the metallic-looking doors

00:27:20and inputted the code

00:27:22that Vorden told her.

00:27:23It really was nearly

00:27:24the same storage room

00:27:25back on the red portal planet.

00:27:26A.T.

00:27:26First, Quinn moved to the entrance,

00:27:28but he stopped just outside of it.

00:27:29Could he really trust Layla?

00:27:31Because he didn't know

00:27:31what was going on,

00:27:32Quinn was starting to think

00:27:33that this was possibly

00:27:33a trap set up by Pure.

00:27:35Perhaps Layla was planning

00:27:36to double-cross him

00:27:37and was still working with them.

00:27:38I asked Vorden really inside here?

00:27:40Quinn turned around

00:27:41and asked while looking at her.

00:27:42A.T. that moment,

00:27:43a hand suddenly pulled him from behind.

00:27:45Just get in here, you idiot.

00:27:47Vorden's voice suddenly piped up.

00:27:49He shuffled both him

00:27:50and Quinn inside

00:27:50as the door shut closed.

00:27:52When the motion sensor lights

00:27:53automatically turned on,

00:27:55they could both see

00:27:55that they were in a large,

00:27:57plain, white room.

00:27:58There were no windows around.

00:27:59There was nothing except

00:28:00the door they just entered from.

00:28:02When Quinn turned around

00:28:03and saw Vorden,

00:28:04his worries settled down

00:28:05since it seemed like Layla

00:28:06was telling the truth.

00:28:07The look on Vorden's face

00:28:08was not one which greeted a friend,

00:28:10but instead,

00:28:11it was of concern.

00:28:12In just an instant,

00:28:13his expression changed.

00:28:14Vorden now had the friendliest smile

00:28:16that Quinn had ever seen.

00:28:17Eh?

00:28:18Vorden, are you okay?

00:28:19Quinn couldn't help but ask,

00:28:20Vorden?

00:28:21He responded while tilting

00:28:22his head to the side

00:28:23and placing his finger

00:28:24on his lips.

00:28:25No, I'm not Vorden.

00:28:26Did you forget my name?

00:28:28He responded with a question.

00:28:29This strange reaction

00:28:30made Vorden look almost like

00:28:31a handsome blonde-haired puppy.

00:28:33What's going on?

00:28:34Quinn thought.

00:28:35He was quite baffled.

00:28:37It seemed like all of his friends

00:28:38were acting strange recently.

00:28:40Aren't I meant to be

00:28:40the weird one in our group?

00:28:42Don't you remember?

00:28:43The mid-b4?

00:28:44I'm S-E-L.

00:28:45Chapter 326,

00:28:46Syl vs. Quinn

00:28:47There were two outcomes

00:28:48between the situation

00:28:49with Vorden and Quinn.

00:28:51In Vorden's head,

00:28:52the best outcome would be

00:28:53for him to ask Quinn

00:28:53to put his blood

00:28:54in the flask kindly.

00:28:56If Quinn were to question why,

00:28:57he would simply tell him

00:28:58to trust him

00:28:59and he would inform him

00:29:00about the details tomorrow.

00:29:01However, knowing Quinn,

00:29:02he would try to get involved

00:29:03some way or another.

00:29:05On top of that,

00:29:06he would try following him.

00:29:07If the first part of the plan worked,

00:29:08then Vorden would hand the flask

00:29:10to Layla

00:29:10while keeping an eye on Quinn making.

00:29:12Sure, he didn't leave the room

00:29:13until everything was done.

00:29:15Hopefully,

00:29:15this would all lead

00:29:16to avoiding him

00:29:17fighting with Quinn.

00:29:18Then again,

00:29:19Vorden was someone

00:29:19who always needed

00:29:20to prepare himself

00:29:21for all of the possible scenarios.

00:29:23There was a good chance

00:29:24that when asking for his blood,

00:29:25Quinn wouldn't do so

00:29:26without saying why,

00:29:27leading him to forcefully

00:29:28take the blood

00:29:29and I end both cases.

00:29:30These would lead to a fight.

00:29:31If this was to happen,

00:29:33Vorden wanted the fight

00:29:33to be over as quickly as possible,

00:29:35which meant he would need

00:29:36to utilize both of the abilities.

00:29:38The second Vorden

00:29:39had pushed Quinn into the room.

00:29:40He had made the switch with Syl,

00:29:41so if anything were to happen,

00:29:43they would be ready.

00:29:44Okay, so,

00:29:45remember what we've planned?

00:29:46Vorden asked,

00:29:47standing right next to him.

00:29:48Syl was currently in the seat

00:29:49and Ratten was standing

00:29:50a little bit further away

00:29:51from them with a smile.

00:29:52If you think for a second

00:29:53that this will go

00:29:54the way you expect it to go,

00:29:55then you're crazy.

00:29:56Ratten said out loud

00:29:57with a little chuckle,

00:29:58waiting for disaster to strike.

00:30:00Repeat after me.

00:30:01I need you to trust me,

00:30:02Quinn,

00:30:02and I need you to do me a favor.

00:30:04I don't want you to ask why,

00:30:05but I need some of your blood,

00:30:06said Vorden.

00:30:07However,

00:30:08the words were simply ignored

00:30:09as Syl decided to do his own thing.

00:30:11But I'm not Vorden.

00:30:12Did you forget my name?

00:30:13I'm Syl.

00:30:14He said outward,

00:30:15looking at Quinn,

00:30:16hearing Vorden speak.

00:30:17It seemed a little strange to Quinn.

00:30:19Although it sounded like him,

00:30:20at the same time,

00:30:21it didn't.

00:30:21The emphasis on certain words,

00:30:23as well as the fluctuations

00:30:25in his voice,

00:30:26were just a tad off.

00:30:27Not just that,

00:30:28but the way he was currently standing.

00:30:29Everything just felt wrong,

00:30:31and now he was saying his name was Syl.

00:30:32What are you doing, Syl?

00:30:34Vorden could not help but shout.

00:30:36He can't find out about you.

00:30:37Syl turned his head

00:30:38and looked at Vorden behind him

00:30:39before responding.

00:30:40Shut up.

00:30:41I can do what I want.

00:30:42It's my body, anyway.

00:30:44Vorden gulped,

00:30:45as he took a step back.

00:30:46There was nothing he could do,

00:30:47when Syl got like this.

00:30:49So,

00:30:49he decided to just wait,

00:30:50and see the outcome.

00:30:52It's been a while since we've last met.

00:30:54Syl giggled.

00:30:54Let me ask you something.

00:30:56Are we friends?

00:30:57There was a brief pause

00:30:58as Quinn was trying to figure out

00:30:59just what was going on,

00:31:00but of course we are,

00:31:00Vorden,

00:31:01Quinn replied.

00:31:02Syl shook his head rapidly back and forth

00:31:04as he stomped his feet

00:31:05in a peculiar manner.

00:31:06At the same time,

00:31:07flames from his feet

00:31:08rose into the air

00:31:09before dissipating,

00:31:10and oh,

00:31:11he yelled.

00:31:12Not Vorden.

00:31:12I already told you.

00:31:14I'm Syl.

00:31:15Seeing a fire ability appear

00:31:16all of a sudden made Quinn

00:31:17take a few steps back.

00:31:19He knew this power belonged

00:31:20to one of the big four,

00:31:21so,

00:31:22he could not help but wonder

00:31:23why Vorden currently had it.

00:31:24Something strange was happening here,

00:31:26Syl.

00:31:27Why does Vorden keep referring

00:31:28to himself as Syl?

00:31:29While thinking of this,

00:31:30Quinn started to think

00:31:31about the possibilities.

00:31:33Did Pure get to him?

00:31:34Or has someone with a mind control ability

00:31:36taken over Vorden's body?

00:31:37Perhaps,

00:31:38it might have even been a vampire.

00:31:40He didn't fully understand the CA.

00:31:41The abilities of the vampires.

00:31:43So,

00:31:43he thought this might have been their way

00:31:44to try and get rid of him

00:31:45once they found out.

00:31:47Whatever the case was,

00:31:48it was clear that the person

00:31:49in front of him right now

00:31:50wasn't the Vorden he knew.

00:31:51Why are you stepping back?

00:31:53Syl said as he reached out his hand.

00:31:55Don't be scared.

00:31:56Why are you scared?

00:31:57Suddenly,

00:31:58tears started to flow from his eyes.

00:32:00They ran down his cheek

00:32:01before trickling to the ground.

00:32:02Don't be scared.

00:32:03Don't be scared.

00:32:04He continued to mumble

00:32:05as he looked at Quinn.

00:32:07Please don't be scared.

00:32:08Kaser.

00:32:08I promise,

00:32:09I will never hurt you again.

00:32:11Although the words spoken were quiet,

00:32:12with Quinn's hearing,

00:32:13he could hear every word.

00:32:15He heard him speak of a name,

00:32:17which he did not know of.

00:32:18Please,

00:32:18Syl,

00:32:18Vorden yelled,

00:32:19trying one more time

00:32:20to reach out to him.

00:32:21He knew that if this went on,

00:32:22perhaps Quinn would be seriously hurt.

00:32:24The goal was only to get his blood,

00:32:26and nothing more.

00:32:27Quinn is not Kaser.

00:32:28We need him.

00:32:29We are here to help him, right?

00:32:30You don't want him to go.

00:32:32So,

00:32:32just ask for the blood.

00:32:33Making sure to not be too pushy.

00:32:35This was all that he could do

00:32:36while he silently prayed.

00:32:37The words had gotten through to him,

00:32:39as Syl saw the worried look on his face.

00:32:41He grabbed his hand,

00:32:42and placed it towards his chest,

00:32:43while wiping his tears away,

00:32:45with the other.

00:32:46He's right.

00:32:46You are not Kaser.

00:32:47Looking up,

00:32:48he gave a smile.

00:32:49Please remember my name next time.

00:32:51It's Syl.

00:32:52Since we're friends,

00:32:53I need to ask you for a favor.

00:32:55Syl then went to his side,

00:32:57and pulled out the metallic flask

00:32:58that had been given to him by Fex.

00:32:59I need you to fill this up with your blood.

00:33:01Looking at the flask,

00:33:02Quinn noticed it in an instant.

00:33:04That was because it was the same one

00:33:05that he had been gifted with by Fex.

00:33:07This was the deciding factor in his mind.

00:33:09The vampires must have gotten to Vorden.

00:33:12Somehow,

00:33:12they had found out.

00:33:14It was probably the reason

00:33:14why Fex had been acting strangely before.

00:33:17He now felt stupid

00:33:18for believing such an obvious lie.

00:33:20Did he betray me?

00:33:21Quinn pondered.

00:33:22Perhaps,

00:33:22when he asked Quinn to leave that day,

00:33:24the vampires came,

00:33:26and surrounded his friends.

00:33:27After that,

00:33:28they forced them to complete this task.

00:33:30He didn't know why they needed his blood,

00:33:31but,

00:33:32he still had a lot to learn about vampires

00:33:33in the first place.

00:33:35Then again,

00:33:35there was the possibility

00:33:36that they couldn't kill him outright

00:33:37due to him actually being one of the leaders.

00:33:39Still,

00:33:40whatever the case was,

00:33:41Quinn wasn't going to go down

00:33:42without a fight,

00:33:43and I'm sorry.

00:33:44I can't,

00:33:44Quinn replied.

00:33:45And Vorden,

00:33:46I don't know how,

00:33:47but I promise I'll save you.

00:33:49With nothing left to say,

00:33:50Quinn activated his shadow equipability.

00:33:52Dark shadows quickly covered his arms and legs,

00:33:55as well his new chest piece in the center.

00:33:57He then quickly charged forward

00:33:59and left the clouds of shadows behind,

00:34:01but right now,

00:34:02his body was all of his equipment.

00:34:03I know how strong you are,

00:34:05Vorden.

00:34:05Hence the reason why

00:34:06I can't go easy on you.

00:34:08Activate wind walk.

00:34:09Skill days.

00:34:10Days failed.

00:34:11Quick,

00:34:12Sil.

00:34:12Take him out now.

00:34:13Vorden shouted.

00:34:15Sil quickly.

00:34:16Curled up,

00:34:16bringing his arms and head towards his chest.

00:34:19He then gathered the power of the fire energy around the center.

00:34:22Soon,

00:34:23little flames could be seen on top of all his clothing.

00:34:26Slowly,

00:34:27they started to burn away even at the fire-resistant school uniform.

00:34:30The fire power was too strong,

00:34:32as Quinn started to get closer.

00:34:33He could sense something was up.

00:34:35Shadow control.

00:34:36Lifting up the shadow in front of him,

00:34:37he made sure to have it ready,

00:34:39prepared as a shield for whatever was to come.

00:34:41Once Vorden attacked,

00:34:43that's when Quinn would strike using his blood abilities.

00:34:45AT the moment,

00:34:46he still hadn't used his blood bank,

00:34:48nor his own flask,

00:34:49so his HP was low.

00:34:50This was another reason for him wanting to finish off the fight fast.

00:34:53Enough time had passed,

00:34:54and Sil was ready.

00:34:55He suddenly extended his hands and head outward like a spring,

00:34:58causing a dome of fire to be released outward,

00:35:01heading in all directions.

00:35:02There was nothing Quinn could do but brace himself with his shadow.

00:35:05As the outer edge of the fire dome grew closer,

00:35:07it had finally hit his shadow.

00:35:09MC cell 0

00:35:10As soon as the fire had touched Quinn's shadow,

00:35:12it had disappeared in an instant,

00:35:14consuming all of his MC cells.

00:35:16This could have only meant one thing.

00:35:18The attack was just too powerful.

00:35:20Whose fire ability did he copy?

00:35:21Quinn thought.

00:35:22However,

00:35:23the shadow was able to cause a small crack in the dome,

00:35:25allowing him to pass through

00:35:27and come out of the attack unharmed.

00:35:29But now,

00:35:29with no more MC cells,

00:35:30he could no longer rely on his shadow ability,

00:35:33only leaving him with his blood abilities

00:35:35that IT seems I have no choice.

00:35:37I have to use my blood bank.

00:35:38I'll just curb my addiction next time.

00:35:40But before he could even do that,

00:35:42a blue stream of light flashed before his eyes,

00:35:44and Sil,

00:35:45who was on the other side of the room,

00:35:46was now directly in front of him.

00:35:48Go to sleep,

00:35:49my dear Quinn,

00:35:50Sil said as he placed his hand on top of Quinn's head,

00:35:52and unleashed a fury of electricity through his body.

00:35:55His body shook rapidly back and forth

00:35:57as the electricity passed through.

00:35:58He gritted his teeth,

00:36:00trying to take the pain,

00:36:00but it was too much for him

00:36:02as his vision slowly faded to black,

00:36:04195th HP.

00:36:05You have been knocked out,

00:36:06as Sil let go of Quinn's head,

00:36:08he allowed his body to drop to the floor.

00:36:10Chapter 327.

00:36:12I'm going to miss him.

00:36:13Standing inside the small room,

00:36:14looking at Peter directly in front of them.

00:36:16Fex couldn't believe it.

00:36:18They had successfully,

00:36:19and quickly managed to make their way to Peter's room

00:36:21with no trouble at all.

00:36:22This type of thing could have only been done

00:36:24with extensive research,

00:36:25and Fex looked at Logan

00:36:26in even more amazement now for Logan.

00:36:28His plan turned out better than he thought.

00:36:29Everything was easier than,

00:36:31it would have been anywhere else,

00:36:32and the reason was that the military

00:36:34had kept to the same routine

00:36:35down to the last second.

00:36:36There were a few variables

00:36:37that Logan had planned out for,

00:36:39but expected that he might not have needed them.

00:36:41When walking through certain hallways

00:36:42and through the rooms,

00:36:43everything had turned O.

00:36:45UT as he had expected,

00:36:46still,

00:36:47he had kept his spiders out to watch just in case.

00:36:49If they had made any changes to their routine,

00:36:51the spiders would have been able to see

00:36:53and inform him beforehand.

00:36:54There was only one tricky part

00:36:56of the whole operation,

00:36:56and that was due to the room

00:36:58Peter was eye-end,

00:36:59to T.O. keep an eye on Peter.

00:37:00He had been placed in a separate section

00:37:02compared to everyone else.

00:37:03A room made just for him

00:37:05that was void with contact to the outside

00:37:06and on top of this,

00:37:07two guards were to be stationed by the door.

00:37:09This was better for both Fex and Quinn.

00:37:12The military had expected an attack from the outside.

00:37:14The easiest time to attack

00:37:15would be during the event

00:37:16when the soldiers were busy and spread thin.

00:37:18If they caused a panic,

00:37:20they would be too busy

00:37:20with dealing with the public,

00:37:22than dealing with the attack.

00:37:23They were confident in their measures

00:37:24and never expected someone from the inside

00:37:26to do anything.

00:37:27Their main concern was with others

00:37:28or the students seeing them,

00:37:29so this was better for them altogether.

00:37:31The two guards who were stationed

00:37:32at the front door were

00:37:33where Fex would come into play.

00:37:35The two of them stood just around the corner

00:37:37from Peter's room silently

00:37:38as they waited for the answer from above.

00:37:40As soon as Borden had successfully

00:37:42knocked out Quinn,

00:37:43they would act.

00:37:44If not,

00:37:44they would turn around

00:37:45and abandon the whole thing.

00:37:47They needed to wait

00:37:47because the only thing

00:37:48they could do at this point

00:37:49was to knock out the two guards

00:37:50in front of them

00:37:51and take Peter away.

00:37:52Logan had timed everything,

00:37:53so the shift change

00:37:55had just happened

00:37:55and Owen would find

00:37:57their beaten bodies

00:37:57for another hour,

00:37:58which meant they needed

00:37:59to take Peter to Silver

00:38:00within the time frame.

00:38:01Then a message

00:38:02had been received from above.

00:38:03He did it

00:38:03and a lot quicker than I thought,

00:38:05Logan said,

00:38:06surprised,

00:38:06from around the corner

00:38:07of the corridor,

00:38:08two spiders were released

00:38:09once again.

00:38:10They scaled up the wall

00:38:11and went above on the ceiling.

00:38:13They walked until they were

00:38:14just above the two soldiers' heads.

00:38:15You ready?

00:38:16Logan asked

00:38:17as he could see

00:38:17Fex was fiddling

00:38:18with a string in his hand.

00:38:20This string was different

00:38:21from the usual type

00:38:21he would use.

00:38:22When Fex used his abilities

00:38:23before it would always

00:38:24be nearly invisible to the eye,

00:38:26but this string

00:38:27was dyed red like blood.

00:38:28The ability had been infused

00:38:29with his vampire blood abilities

00:38:31to make it several times stronger.

00:38:33The only problem

00:38:34was it took some

00:38:34preparation time to use.

00:38:35This was why he was

00:38:36unable to use it

00:38:37against the King-Tier Beast

00:38:38before.

00:38:39At the same time,

00:38:40he had already deemed

00:38:40it would be useless,

00:38:41for the King-Tier Beast

00:38:42was far too strong.

00:38:44Still,

00:38:44for situations like this,

00:38:45it was perfect.

00:38:46When Fex was finally ready,

00:38:48he gave the nod,

00:38:48and at the same time

00:38:49the spiders fell down

00:38:50hovering above

00:38:51the neck of the guards.

00:38:52Both of them felt

00:38:53something ticklish

00:38:54on their neck.

00:38:55One soldier tired slapping it,

00:38:57while another turned around

00:38:58trying to fling

00:38:58whatever was on him.

00:38:59This small distraction

00:39:00was all that was needed

00:39:01for Fex to whip out

00:39:02his blood-red strings.

00:39:04Ickly they wrapped

00:39:05around their mouths

00:39:05like a spider web

00:39:06before wrapping around

00:39:07their legs

00:39:08and pulling them

00:39:08to the ground.

00:39:09Then finally,

00:39:11their whole arms

00:39:11and legs had been covered.

00:39:13They tried to break free

00:39:14from the strings,

00:39:14but it was nearly

00:39:15impossible for them.

00:39:16The spiders continued

00:39:17to move along their body

00:39:18as it scanned

00:39:19for any traces of equipment

00:39:21that could give them away.

00:39:22The only thing that was found

00:39:23was a tracker

00:39:24that had been placed along

00:39:25with an alert button.

00:39:26However,

00:39:26the alert hadn't been pressed,

00:39:28so it was best to leave

00:39:29everything as it was for now.

00:39:30The two of them

00:39:31entered the room,

00:39:32and they could see

00:39:32Peter standing there still.

00:39:34He had heard the commotion outside

00:39:35and was wondering

00:39:36just what was going on,

00:39:37but he had never expected

00:39:39to see these two.

00:39:40Peter had already given up

00:39:41hope on being safe.

00:39:42I never expected you

00:39:43to save me.

00:39:44Peter said,

00:39:45Don't thank us yet

00:39:45until you hear what we have to say,

00:39:47and it's not good news.

00:39:48Fex replied,

00:39:49Back above ground,

00:39:51Vorden had now switched

00:39:52back with Syl.

00:39:53He had just sent a report

00:39:54to the others

00:39:54to proceed with what

00:39:55they were doing.

00:39:56He hadn't extracted the blood

00:39:57yet as Fex had given him

00:39:58a warning and they needed

00:39:59to wait for the timing.

00:40:00He knew that Quinn

00:40:01was currently going through

00:40:02getting rid of his addiction.

00:40:03Fex never knew

00:40:04about the connection

00:40:05Vorden had

00:40:05and never expected him

00:40:06to be able to get powers

00:40:07so powerful.

00:40:09He had hoped with Quinn

00:40:10going through the addiction,

00:40:11he would be weak enough

00:40:12to the point where it was

00:40:13easier for him

00:40:13to be knocked out,

00:40:14and it seemed like

00:40:15it had worked.

00:40:16There were many times

00:40:16when Vorden had watched Quinn,

00:40:18he appeared to have been

00:40:18given two or three chances,

00:40:20as if he had more lives

00:40:21than one,

00:40:21but this time

00:40:22that hadn't happened.

00:40:23However,

00:40:23this also meant

00:40:24there was a chance

00:40:25that during the fight,

00:40:26Quinn would be close

00:40:26to turning into a bloodsucker.

00:40:28He had been informed

00:40:29that there should be

00:40:29a flask similar

00:40:30on Quinn's body.

00:40:31Vorden searched

00:40:32and found an exact replica.

00:40:34The next step

00:40:34was to wait patiently

00:40:35for the others

00:40:36to get back to him,

00:40:37or until there were signs

00:40:38that Quinn was starting

00:40:38to change

00:40:39that we have successfully

00:40:40gotten Peter,

00:40:41we're coming up now,

00:40:41Logan said.

00:40:42Everything seemed

00:40:43to have fallen into place.

00:40:44Layla had entered the room

00:40:45and was now standing

00:40:46by Quinn's side,

00:40:47both of them

00:40:48looking at Quinn's body.

00:40:49How do you think

00:40:49he'll react when he wakes up?

00:40:51Layla asked.

00:40:52I think he'll be pissed,

00:40:53but he will understand.

00:40:55He will soon realize

00:40:55if he was in our shoes,

00:40:56he would have done

00:40:57the same thing.

00:40:58Vorden replied,

00:40:59as he pulled out

00:40:59a small little dagger

00:41:00and proceeded

00:41:01to cut Quinn on the arm.

00:41:03Blood started seeping

00:41:03from the wound

00:41:04and fell into the flask.

00:41:05Dio,

00:41:05you think this is right?

00:41:06Aren't we just sacrificing

00:41:07one life for another?

00:41:09Layla asked,

00:41:09don't forget,

00:41:10Peter had already been caught

00:41:11by the military.

00:41:12There was nothing we could do.

00:41:13This solves both our problems.

00:41:15They never find out

00:41:16about the vampires

00:41:16and for short

00:41:17while it will get

00:41:18the vampires off our back.

00:41:20Zero slash 95 HP.

00:41:21Bloodlust is at it.

00:41:23S. Maxim.

00:41:24You are now transforming.

00:41:25The standard messages

00:41:26would appear,

00:41:27even though Quinn

00:41:27wasn't conscious.

00:41:29Suddenly,

00:41:29as the flask was filled,

00:41:31Quinn's body started

00:41:31to jolt up and down

00:41:32as it began to shake.

00:41:34Vorden knew what this

00:41:34was straight away.

00:41:36He quickly handed over

00:41:37the flask with Quinn's blood

00:41:38to Layla.

00:41:38He then grabbed

00:41:39the other flask

00:41:40that was on Quinn's body.

00:41:41He held his mouth open

00:41:42with one hand

00:41:43while pouring it all

00:41:43in with the other.

00:41:44A few moments later

00:41:45and the shaking

00:41:46had stopped.

00:41:47The veins and muscles

00:41:48that were bulging

00:41:49had calmed down

00:41:49and it looked like

00:41:50everything was safe for now.

00:41:52Multiple blood types

00:41:52has been consumed,

00:41:53calculating stat increases.

00:41:55Here take this as well,

00:41:56Vorden said,

00:41:57handing over the second flask.

00:41:59Feck said for Quinn

00:42:00to keep it,

00:42:00but I'm afraid it might

00:42:01only bring us more trouble

00:42:02in the future.

00:42:03Give it back to him.

00:42:04Don't worry about me

00:42:05and just go.

00:42:06Vorden shouted,

00:42:07Before leaving,

00:42:08she took one look at Quinn.

00:42:10There was a good chance

00:42:11that his current life

00:42:11now would be hers.

00:42:13Always running away,

00:42:14but still.

00:42:15At least Quinn

00:42:16isn't following anyone.

00:42:17He chose to do things

00:42:18his own way.

00:42:19With that,

00:42:19she ran off out of the building.

00:42:21Don't wake up Quinn,

00:42:22Vorden said.

00:42:23It's for your own good.

00:42:24Outside,

00:42:25the two boys

00:42:25had returned with Peter.

00:42:27They had given him

00:42:27one of the masks

00:42:28to wear for now

00:42:28in case the other students

00:42:29outside would see him.

00:42:31Although it was pretty late now

00:42:32and nearly all of the students

00:42:33had already returned

00:42:34to their rooms,

00:42:34Layla came running out

00:42:35towards them

00:42:36as they met

00:42:36on the platform

00:42:37a little away

00:42:38from Military Hotel 2.

00:42:39She could see

00:42:40the three boys

00:42:41in their masks

00:42:41and she had to admit,

00:42:43it looked a little intimidating.

00:42:44The masks had a scary look

00:42:45to them in their designs

00:42:46and made them all appear

00:42:47as demons.

00:42:48Do you have the blood?

00:42:49Fex asked,

00:42:50It's right here,

00:42:51Layla said,

00:42:51handing over the flask.

00:42:53She then quickly

00:42:53pulled out the second one

00:42:54and handed it to him as well.

00:42:56Vorden said,

00:42:57He knows you mean well,

00:42:58but there is a chance

00:42:59others could come

00:42:59looking for it.

00:43:00Fex wanted to say no,

00:43:02he wanted Quinn

00:43:02to at least have something

00:43:03to remember him

00:43:04by when he left.

00:43:05This was a gift,

00:43:06but at the same time,

00:43:07he would just be selfish

00:43:08otherwise if he insisted.

00:43:09It was true,

00:43:10if humans found the flask,

00:43:11there was a good chance

00:43:12he would be investigated.

00:43:14He took the two flasks

00:43:14and then grabbed Peter

00:43:15by the arm.

00:43:16Tell Quinn,

00:43:17he doesn't have to worry

00:43:17about the vampires.

00:43:18There are no vampires

00:43:19stationed at Military Base 2,

00:43:21nor are there any

00:43:22at the other Military Bases now.

00:43:23Once I leave with Peter,

00:43:25he will have nothing

00:43:25to worry about

00:43:26for a good while.

00:43:27I don't have the time

00:43:27to say goodbye to you all,

00:43:29and neither does Peter.

00:43:30I wish you all

00:43:30good luck in the future,

00:43:32Fex said,

00:43:32as he grabbed Peter

00:43:34and took off

00:43:35into the distance.

00:43:36A cloud of mist

00:43:36seemed to encase

00:43:37the two of them,

00:43:38and when the mist

00:43:38had settled,

00:43:39they no longer

00:43:40could be seen.

00:43:41Layla and Logan

00:43:41didn't even have the chance

00:43:42to even say

00:43:43their final words,

00:43:44you know.

00:43:44When Fex first came,

00:43:45I kind of hated him,

00:43:47especially with everything

00:43:48he did to Aaron,

00:43:49Layla said.

00:43:50But he really was

00:43:51never a bad guy.

00:43:52I'm going to miss

00:43:52that idiot.

00:43:53It will certainly feel weird

00:43:54without him and my assistant.

00:43:56Good luck to you two

00:43:56as well.

00:43:57Logan said,

00:43:58Chapter 328

00:43:59Goodbye, Fex.

00:44:01Goodbye, Peter.

00:44:02Before they had left

00:44:02Peter's room,

00:44:03both Fex and Logan

00:44:04had updated Peter

00:44:05on the whole situation.

00:44:07They informed him

00:44:07of the plan

00:44:08and troubles

00:44:08that came with it.

00:44:09Without hesitation,

00:44:10after being told

00:44:11what needed to be done,

00:44:12Peter had agreed.

00:44:13After hearing this

00:44:14was all for Quinn's sake,

00:44:16he was happy

00:44:16he would actually be

00:44:17of some help

00:44:17to his creator and savior.

00:44:19However,

00:44:20the sudden response

00:44:20seemed strange,

00:44:21Fex thought.

00:44:22Sure,

00:44:23whites were loyal

00:44:24to their creators,

00:44:25but not like this.

00:44:26One would have to command

00:44:27an order

00:44:27and be forced to do so

00:44:28due to the bond of blood,

00:44:29but Peter seemed

00:44:30to have been so accepting

00:44:31over the whole thing.

00:44:32I can't guarantee

00:44:33what will happen to you

00:44:34when they find out,

00:44:35Fex said.

00:44:36You could be killed.

00:44:37The words spoken

00:44:38were trying to deter him.

00:44:39It's okay,

00:44:40Peter replied.

00:44:41Better than being left

00:44:42in the hands of the humans.

00:44:43Besides,

00:44:44if I stayed,

00:44:45there is a good chance

00:44:46they would find out

00:44:46about all of you,

00:44:47and I wouldn't want

00:44:48anything to happen.

00:44:49Hearing these words

00:44:50had put a smile

00:44:51on Logan's face.

00:44:52Peter,

00:44:53you really did change

00:44:54for the better,

00:44:54and I don't think

00:44:55it's just cause

00:44:56you're a white now,

00:44:56said Logan.

00:44:58When you first evolved,

00:44:59you seemed cruel

00:45:00and distant,

00:45:01but those words

00:45:01right there,

00:45:02they didn't come

00:45:03from the white version

00:45:03of you,

00:45:04or the old Peter.

00:45:05Right now,

00:45:06I see a new man.

00:45:07Hearing Logan's words

00:45:08just confirmed

00:45:09Fex's strange thoughts

00:45:10further.

00:45:11Whites were relatively

00:45:12short-tempered

00:45:12and evil in nature.

00:45:14Sure,

00:45:14Peter had shown this

00:45:15a few times,

00:45:16but it wasn't to the degree

00:45:17of whites that he knew.

00:45:18Perhaps this was

00:45:19the influence of Quinn's

00:45:20will on the creator.

00:45:21It was a shame

00:45:22as it seemed

00:45:23to be progressing slowly.

00:45:24Peter started to change

00:45:25away from the standard

00:45:26white,

00:45:26let's go,

00:45:27Fex said.

00:45:28After parting ways

00:45:28from the others,

00:45:29Peter was taken to a safe,

00:45:31secluded place

00:45:31out on the platform,

00:45:32away from the meeting

00:45:33point with Silver,

00:45:34as well as away

00:45:35from the others.

00:45:36The masks were now returned,

00:45:38and right now,

00:45:39Peter had transformed

00:45:40his face to look

00:45:40like Quinn.

00:45:41If anyone were to see

00:45:42the two of them,

00:45:43they would just think

00:45:43they were nothing more

00:45:44than two students

00:45:45having a laugh.

00:45:46There was no chance

00:45:47for someone else

00:45:47to spot Quinn either,

00:45:48as Borden was keeping

00:45:49an eye on him

00:45:49in the special training room.

00:45:51Do you hate me?

00:45:51Fex asked,

00:45:52and oh,

00:45:53Peter replied instantly,

00:45:54but gave nothing more back.

00:45:56I hate me,

00:45:57Fex said.

00:45:57You know,

00:45:58I thought I might

00:45:58get attached to this place

00:45:59and hate to go back home.

00:46:01What I didn't expect

00:46:02was that I would get

00:46:02attached to the people

00:46:03rather than the place.

00:46:04I can't help but think

00:46:05that they all had

00:46:06to go through this

00:46:06just because of

00:46:07my selfish wants.

00:46:09The vampires

00:46:09would have come

00:46:10for Quinn anyway,

00:46:11Peter replied.

00:46:12What do you mean by that?

00:46:13Fex asked.

00:46:14There was no reason

00:46:15to send any of the V.

00:46:16Ampires to the military base.

00:46:18They had only come out

00:46:19to search for him.

00:46:20Peter hadn't replied

00:46:21because he didn't know

00:46:22why the vampires

00:46:23would come after Quinn.

00:46:24All he knew was before,

00:46:25Quinn would often say

00:46:26that it seemed like

00:46:27for some reason

00:46:27he was trying to get stronger

00:46:28as fast as possible,

00:46:29as if he was preparing

00:46:30for a threat ahead.

00:46:31Oh,

00:46:32I think I know,

00:46:32Fex said,

00:46:33giving his own answer

00:46:34and coming to his own conclusion,

00:46:35as usual.

00:46:36It had to be something to do

00:46:37with the shadow powers.

00:46:39There was a good chance

00:46:40that Quinn's master

00:46:41was part of the old punishers.

00:46:42If they were still around,

00:46:43if the others knew about this,

00:46:45they certainly would send

00:46:46people after him.

00:46:47Even if Quinn's master

00:46:48wasn't a punisher,

00:46:49the others would want

00:46:50to get their hands

00:46:50on Quinn's power

00:46:51for themselves

00:46:52and find out which family

00:46:53was in charge of Quinn.

00:46:54I never did find out

00:46:55the truth behind him.

00:46:57Fex at first was very curious,

00:46:59but soon felt bad

00:46:59about trying to find details

00:47:01of what he would now

00:47:01call a friend back.

00:47:02It just felt wrong

00:47:03and wasn't in his nature

00:47:04to do things like that.

00:47:05Here,

00:47:06take this,

00:47:07Fex said as he handed

00:47:07the flask over to Peter.

00:47:09After opening the lid,

00:47:10Peter gulped down

00:47:11the whole drink in one go

00:47:12and suddenly had a strange

00:47:13feeling in his chest.

00:47:15Bum bum,

00:47:15it was something

00:47:15he hadn't felt in a while

00:47:16and it was all

00:47:17a little alien to him.

00:47:19The sound,

00:47:19my heart,

00:47:20it's beating again.

00:47:21As the blood fell down

00:47:22his throat

00:47:23and reached his heart,

00:47:24strange energy

00:47:25was felt all around.

00:47:26The blood was now

00:47:27being pumped

00:47:28from the heart

00:47:28all over the body.

00:47:30He could feel it

00:47:30moving through his veins.

00:47:32It felt as if

00:47:33his insides were on fire.

00:47:34For anyone else,

00:47:35it would be

00:47:36a painful experience,

00:47:37but for Peter,

00:47:38it was a joy.

00:47:39For it was the first time

00:47:40he had felt pain

00:47:41in a while.

00:47:41What is this?

00:47:42Peter asked,

00:47:43it's your master's blood.

00:47:44Usually,

00:47:45there would be no reason

00:47:46to do this to a white.

00:47:47Their strengths are the fact

00:47:48that they can't feel pain.

00:47:50If anything,

00:47:51this makes you seem more human.

00:47:52Anyway,

00:47:53don't be too happy.

00:47:54The effects are temporary.

00:47:56Fex explained,

00:47:57our powers come from our blood

00:47:58and right now,

00:47:59Quinn's power is inside you.

00:48:01Right now,

00:48:02the feeling,

00:48:02the smell,

00:48:03and even the look.

00:48:04With all this,

00:48:05I wouldn't be able to tell

00:48:05who I was looking at.

00:48:07As in terms of powers,

00:48:08although your attacks

00:48:08and such will be healthy,

00:48:09you still can't produce

00:48:11any blood attacks like we are.

00:48:12Also,

00:48:12I would urge you not to fight

00:48:14or test out any of your powers.

00:48:15At most,

00:48:16I see this lasting a week.

00:48:17Day by day,

00:48:18the power will slowly start to fade

00:48:20and sooner or later,

00:48:21they will find out.

00:48:22If you start using

00:48:23that extra strength of yours,

00:48:24it will only go away quicker.

00:48:26Fex then took a deep breath

00:48:27as he started to walk off

00:48:28to one of the military bases.

00:48:29Leave all the talking to me.

00:48:31Once again,

00:48:32Silver was waiting patiently

00:48:33on top of the roof

00:48:34of Building 4.

00:48:35In her hand

00:48:36was a rectangular-looking device

00:48:37that looked identical

00:48:38to the one in Logan's room.

00:48:40It was a portable teleporter.

00:48:41She had trust

00:48:42that her brother

00:48:42would complete the task,

00:48:43although he was a fool.

00:48:46He wasn't one to break promises.

00:48:47When he said

00:48:48he would finish it,

00:48:49she already knew

00:48:50he would get it done.

00:48:50You're here.

00:48:51She said,

00:48:52as two figures

00:48:53jumped up from the side.

00:48:54Oh.

00:48:55Silver replied,

00:48:56seeing that the person

00:48:57she had brought with them

00:48:57was still fully conscious.

00:48:59As you requested,

00:49:00this is the vampire

00:49:01who had made an illegal.

00:49:02I had been tailing him a while

00:49:04and explained

00:49:05everything that happened.

00:49:06When I told him

00:49:07that a vampire knight

00:49:08was here to catch him,

00:49:09he immediately turned himself in,

00:49:10knowing there was no need to fight.

00:49:12A vampire knight,

00:49:13a class that was designated

00:49:14just below the vampire leader.

00:49:16It was a unique role

00:49:17as each family

00:49:18was able to designate

00:49:19only two vampire knights

00:49:20in their family.

00:49:21They would mostly be

00:49:22in charge of running things

00:49:23or giving orders

00:49:24if the vampire leader

00:49:25wasn't present.

00:49:26Because of this reason,

00:49:27to be able to be elected

00:49:28into such a position,

00:49:29one would need a strong power

00:49:31to keep the others in line.

00:49:32Seeing the beautiful women

00:49:33in front of him,

00:49:34Peter felt nothing.

00:49:35Yet for some reason

00:49:36that seemed to worry him

00:49:37even more.

00:49:38When he had first encountered Fex,

00:49:40his wild energy

00:49:41could be felt throughout.

00:49:42One could tell he was strong.

00:49:44But with Silver,

00:49:45it was calm.

00:49:46It was as if she wasn't even there,

00:49:47yet clearly she stood

00:49:48right in front of him.

00:49:49And what of the illegal?

00:49:50She asked.

00:49:51I have taken care of him

00:49:52and gotten rid of the body,

00:49:53but since he and this one

00:49:55are registered students,

00:49:56they will soon find out about them.

00:49:58I suggest we leave

00:49:59as soon as possible.

00:50:00Silver walked over to Fex slowly.

00:50:02The sound of her boots,

00:50:03hitting the floor,

00:50:04was heard.

00:50:05Everything had been prepared

00:50:05for this moment,

00:50:06and he had answered perfectly.

00:50:08Now he just needed her

00:50:09to believe him.

00:50:10However,

00:50:11he was too afraid

00:50:12and didn't want to look up

00:50:13for even a second suddenly.

00:50:14He felt a hand on his hair.

00:50:16Silver ruffled it up

00:50:17and gave it a little pat.

00:50:18You have done well,

00:50:19little brother.

00:50:20I will tell the family

00:50:21of your good deeds here,

00:50:22and they shall lighten

00:50:23the punishment.

00:50:24The square portal device

00:50:25was placed on the ground,

00:50:26and a unique digital number

00:50:28was imputed.

00:50:29The contraption started

00:50:30to open itself up

00:50:30slowly piece by piece

00:50:32until it had finally connected.

00:50:33Fex quickly tied up

00:50:34Peter's hands behind his back

00:50:35with his string ability

00:50:36and pulled him along.

00:50:37Goodbye, everyone.

00:50:39He said in his head

00:50:40as he stepped through the portal,

00:50:41with Peter following form behind.

00:50:43Soon after,

00:50:44Silver threw a small

00:50:45circular ball on the floor

00:50:46and stepped through herself.

00:50:48The small circular ball

00:50:48started to blink red

00:50:49and made a beeping sound.

00:50:51The blinking along with the sound

00:50:52started to get faster

00:50:53until bang,

00:50:54the ball had exploded,

00:50:55destroying everything

00:50:56in a two-meter radius.

00:50:58Including the portal,

00:50:59no one would be able

00:51:00to follow their traces

00:51:00to the vampire's home.

00:51:02Chapter 329,

00:51:04The Tenth Seat

00:51:04Slowly, it seemed like

00:51:06Quinn was coming to.

00:51:07A few grunts were heard here

00:51:09and there

00:51:09as he started to lift himself

00:51:11off the floor.

00:51:12He felt pain

00:51:12in the inside of his body

00:51:13which was a strange feeling

00:51:14but the O,

00:51:15outside of his body

00:51:16had mostly healed

00:51:17from the attack as well.

00:51:18When he had opened his eyes,

00:51:19he was greeted

00:51:20with several messages

00:51:21that had appeared

00:51:21while he was knocked out.

00:51:235095th HP,

00:51:24Hunger has diminished,

00:51:25transformation has been cancelled,

00:51:27multiple blood types consumed,

00:51:28stat points allocated,

00:51:30four free stat points remaining.

00:51:31Quinn quickly tried

00:51:32to get his head around

00:51:33what the messages had meant

00:51:34and tried to remember

00:51:35his last moments.

00:51:37Suddenly,

00:51:37he started to remember

00:51:38he was in the middle of a fight

00:51:39and it was with Forden.

00:51:41It hadn't lasted for long.

00:51:42The only thing he could guess

00:51:43was that he had been knocked,

00:51:45transformation cancelled.

00:51:46I see it's all starting

00:51:47to make sense now.

00:51:48I must have been knocked out

00:51:49in the middle of the fight.

00:51:50I was low on HP

00:51:51in the first place

00:51:52and started to transform.

00:51:53The stat increase

00:51:54and the HP regained

00:51:55must have been

00:51:56from the blood in the flask.

00:51:57When Quinn had found out

00:51:58he was getting addicted,

00:51:59he decided to stop

00:52:00consuming blood daily.

00:52:01However,

00:52:02he soon realized

00:52:02that it didn't mean

00:52:03he had to stop collecting blood

00:52:04from different students.

00:52:05After placing one of the students'

00:52:07blood in the flask,

00:52:08he later collected

00:52:08other students' blood

00:52:09and placed it into the container.

00:52:11When his HP was low enough,

00:52:12he would consume the flask

00:52:14with all the blood in it,

00:52:15giving him a boost in stats

00:52:16as well as helping him

00:52:17get rid of his addiction.

00:52:18Status

00:52:18Stats

00:52:19Strength

00:52:2026 Agility

00:52:2127 Stamina

00:52:2221 Charm

00:52:2328

00:52:24He had also obtained

00:52:25four more free stat points

00:52:27to be used wherever he wished.

00:52:28I'll continue to place it

00:52:29into charm for now.

00:52:30He thought

00:52:31the reason for this

00:52:32was no student's blood type

00:52:33would directly increase

00:52:34the charm stat like the others.

00:52:36On top of this,

00:52:37currently,

00:52:37he knew of

00:52:38and had found no equipment

00:52:39that did such a thing either.

00:52:41While all the other stats

00:52:42still had the benefit

00:52:42of higher tier equipment,

00:52:44his plan had significantly worked.

00:52:46As long as he had the flask,

00:52:47he could continue to do this

00:52:48without addiction to blood.

00:52:50He reached around his side

00:52:51and went to grab the flask.

00:52:52Right now,

00:52:53he felt so overjoyed

00:52:54that he wanted to grab it

00:52:55and kiss it.

00:52:56Huh?

00:52:56Where's the flask?

00:52:58Quinn thought

00:52:58as he panicky

00:52:59started to grab around his waist,

00:53:00but could find nothing.

00:53:02So you're finally awake,

00:53:03Borden said,

00:53:04making sure that he was

00:53:05a few feet away.

00:53:06He didn't know how Quinn

00:53:07would react about the whole thing

00:53:08and made sure to keep his distance.

00:53:10Hearing the voice

00:53:10made Quinn spring up

00:53:11into his feet

00:53:11and instantly,

00:53:13he got into a fighting stance.

00:53:14Shadow act,

00:53:14wait.

00:53:15Wait.

00:53:16Wait.

00:53:17It's me.

00:53:17I was the one

00:53:18that gave you the blood.

00:53:19Quinn calmed down.

00:53:20What's your name?

00:53:21Quinn asked,

00:53:21I'm Borden.

00:53:22It's me,

00:53:22Quinn.

00:53:23Remember,

00:53:23we went to the Red Portal

00:53:24planet together

00:53:25and you turned

00:53:25into that bloodsucker?

00:53:27If you want proof,

00:53:27I can even go into detail

00:53:28about how you ate.

00:53:29Stop.

00:53:30Stop.

00:53:30I believe you.

00:53:31Quinn said,

00:53:32not wanting Borden

00:53:33to remind of what

00:53:34happened back then.

00:53:35What happened to you,

00:53:35Borden?

00:53:36Was it you that attacked me?

00:53:37Was it pure?

00:53:38What's going on?

00:53:39Quinn asked,

00:53:40D,

00:53:40Oh,

00:53:40you remember a WHI?

00:53:42Lulego when I said

00:53:43if there were some things

00:53:43you found out about me,

00:53:45I would have to kill you?

00:53:46Borden replied.

00:53:47At the time,

00:53:48it probably seemed like a joke

00:53:49but I was quite serious.

00:53:51There are some secrets

00:53:52that even I have,

00:53:53Quinn,

00:53:53but that's not important right now.

00:53:55What do you mean

00:53:55it's not important right now?

00:53:57Quinn shouted back,

00:53:58You or Syl,

00:53:59or whoever it was

00:54:00just fried my arse.

00:54:02There's something

00:54:02you need to know.

00:54:03It's about Peter and Fex.

00:54:05I promise I'll explain everything.

00:54:07The trust between the two of them

00:54:08had been partially broken

00:54:09and Borden could see that.

00:54:11So,

00:54:11he made sure to stay

00:54:12a few feet away from Quinn

00:54:13while explaining the details

00:54:14of what had happened

00:54:15and why.

00:54:16What Fex's part in all of this was

00:54:17and what his part of it was as well.

00:54:19Once he explained everything,

00:54:20there was silence

00:54:21between the two of them.

00:54:22Borden had been prepared

00:54:23for a telling off,

00:54:24a scolding,

00:54:25or even sadness,

00:54:26but there was no reaction at all.

00:54:28After a few moments,

00:54:29Quinn started to walk towards him

00:54:30with his head down.

00:54:31Seeing this,

00:54:32Borden gulped

00:54:33and moved to the side

00:54:34out of the way.

00:54:35However,

00:54:36Quinn continued to move forward

00:54:37until he had eventually

00:54:38reached the door.

00:54:39Quinn,

00:54:39aren't you going to say anything?

00:54:41Borden asked.

00:54:42He just couldn't stand

00:54:43the silence anymore.

00:54:44I'm disappointed

00:54:44in not just you,

00:54:45Borden,

00:54:46but everyone.

00:54:47Since when could you not trust me

00:54:48to make my own decisions?

00:54:49Even worse.

00:54:50When did you guys start

00:54:51making the decisions for me?

00:54:52Looking around at the door,

00:54:54Quinn lifted his hand

00:54:54and swung his fist

00:54:55into the door

00:54:56as hard as he could.

00:54:57Open the damn door.

00:54:58He shouted

00:54:59as he slammed his fist

00:55:00into the metal door again.

00:55:01IT was sturdy

00:55:02as it was made out of glathrium

00:55:03and even the strongest people

00:55:05could not do anything

00:55:05to the door.

00:55:06Quinn lifted his hand

00:55:07and proceeded to punch it again,

00:55:09this time the skin

00:55:10from his knuckles ripped

00:55:10and there was a bloody

00:55:11fist mark left on the door.

00:55:1349 95th HP,

00:55:15seeing this,

00:55:16Borden hurried over

00:55:16and inputted the code

00:55:17at the side,

00:55:18allowing the doors to open.

00:55:20As soon as they did,

00:55:21Quinn continued to storm off

00:55:22and away.

00:55:23Wait,

00:55:23Quinn,

00:55:24where are you going?

00:55:25You're not going to try

00:55:26to do anything,

00:55:26are you?

00:55:27They're already gone.

00:55:28Borden said,

00:55:29afraid that he might go

00:55:30looking for them,

00:55:31which was pointless.

00:55:32I know,

00:55:33said Quinn.

00:55:34I can no longer

00:55:35feel Peter's presence.

00:55:36It's too far away.

00:55:38I just want to be alone

00:55:39for a bit.

00:55:40Sometimes one needed space

00:55:41and time to heal.

00:55:42Borden knew this better

00:55:43than most

00:55:43and decided to let him go

00:55:45for now until he had

00:55:46calmed down.

00:55:47When outside,

00:55:48Quinn continued to walk

00:55:48around the large platform

00:55:50in a circle.

00:55:50As he went by,

00:55:51he looked and went past

00:55:52each of the military hotels.

00:55:54He was thinking about

00:55:55everything that had happened

00:55:56until he had eventually stopped

00:55:57and started to look

00:55:58over the ledge down

00:55:59into the arena floor

00:55:59and I can't blame them.

00:56:01They did what they thought

00:56:01was best for me

00:56:02and Peter,

00:56:03who knows what would have

00:56:04happened to him.

00:56:04The only person I can blame

00:56:05for being in the situation

00:56:07I'm in is myself.

00:56:08I'm just too weak.

00:56:09Too weak to help Pete.

00:56:10R.

00:56:11Too weak for Fex

00:56:12to even rely on me.

00:56:13And Fex,

00:56:14at first I didn't really trust him

00:56:15but it seemed like

00:56:16he really did keep his word

00:56:17till the end.

00:56:18He didn't give me up

00:56:18to the vampires

00:56:19and everything he did

00:56:20was to protect me.

00:56:21System.

00:56:22Do you know what will happen

00:56:23to Fex and Peter

00:56:23once they find out

00:56:24Peter's real identity?

00:56:25Quinn asked.

00:56:26Honestly,

00:56:27I'm not too sure.

00:56:28It seems like a lot of time

00:56:29is passed

00:56:30and as the world changes

00:56:31so do the rules.

00:56:32Although vampires

00:56:33usually stay relatively

00:56:34close to tradition.

00:56:36A trial will be placed

00:56:37where the council

00:56:37shall decide their fate.

00:56:39If you want me to be

00:56:39really honest with you,

00:56:41they will kill Peter.

00:56:42They will assume

00:56:42he is something called

00:56:43an illegal

00:56:44since he won't be

00:56:45in their files.

00:56:46What they don't know

00:56:46is that Peter

00:56:47is not an illegal.

00:56:48What do you mean by that?

00:56:49Fex said that a vampire

00:56:51that wasn't created

00:56:51by one of the 13 leaders

00:56:53or at least didn't have

00:56:54their permission

00:56:54would be considered

00:56:55an illegal correct.

00:56:57Yes,

00:56:57but don't you remember

00:56:58when you created

00:56:58your own family?

00:57:00Peter is part

00:57:00of the cursed family.

00:57:01Do you also remember

00:57:02when I told you

00:57:03to keep this a secret

00:57:04from other vampires

00:57:05no matter what?

00:57:06Well,

00:57:06I suppose it's time

00:57:07it told you the truth.

00:57:09Quinn,

00:57:09when you created

00:57:10that family,

00:57:10you became

00:57:11one of the 13 leaders.

00:57:12Your family name

00:57:13has taken over

00:57:14the missing 10th seat.

00:57:15The system explained.

00:57:17Wait,

00:57:17does that mean

00:57:18if I tell them

00:57:18who I am

00:57:19about the family,

00:57:20then Peter will live

00:57:21and Fex won't get in trouble?

00:57:22Quinn asked,

00:57:23and oh,

00:57:24the system replied instantly.

00:57:25Think about it.

00:57:26Why do you think

00:57:27the 10th family seat

00:57:28was empty

00:57:28in the first place?

00:57:29I can't stop

00:57:30your destined fate

00:57:31in the future,

00:57:32Quinn,

00:57:32but I can delay it.

00:57:34You inform them

00:57:34of who you are now

00:57:35and you will become

00:57:36a target of them

00:57:37in an instant.

00:57:38Then,

00:57:38explain to me,

00:57:39explain what happened.

00:57:40Quinn shouted in his mind.

00:57:42Could you explain

00:57:43to me who you are?

00:57:44And explain to me

00:57:44what happened

00:57:45to the 10th family.

00:57:46And don't give me

00:57:47this crap

00:57:47that you can't tell me.

00:57:48Quinn already had

00:57:49some ideas and guesses

00:57:50of his own

00:57:51who the system was,

00:57:51as slowly everything

00:57:53was starting to be revealed.

00:57:54However,

00:57:55there was no point

00:57:56in overthinking it

00:57:56until he could

00:57:57confirm his guesses.

00:57:58I'm afraid

00:57:58I cannot tell

00:57:59you're useless,

00:58:00Quinn said

00:58:01as he continued

00:58:02to storm off

00:58:02back to his hotel room.

00:58:03Inside the military base

00:58:05one hotel,

00:58:06on one of the top floors,

00:58:07an urgent knock

00:58:08was heard

00:58:08at one of the big four's doors.

00:58:10Sir,

00:58:10please answer immediately.

00:58:12We have a report

00:58:13from Duke.

00:58:13A man said,

00:58:14desperately trying

00:58:15to get into the room.

00:58:16Jack immediately answered

00:58:17the door

00:58:18after hearing Duke's name.

00:58:19If it was something

00:58:20in the middle of the night,

00:58:20it couldn't have been good news.

00:58:22What is it?

00:58:23Jack asked,

00:58:24it's about the student,

00:58:25Peter.

00:58:25He's missing.

00:58:26Chapter 330,

00:58:28did?

00:58:28Inside an elegant large room

00:58:30with a modern looking design,

00:58:31Jack was sitting there,

00:58:32patiently tapping away

00:58:33at a desk in the corner.

00:58:35Standing by his side

00:58:36were two reasonably large guards.

00:58:38He always had someone

00:58:39by his side,

00:58:40no matter what,

00:58:40due to his unique situation.

00:58:43He wasn't like

00:58:43the other big four family members,

00:58:45for they believed

00:58:45in their own strength.

00:58:46He knew the others

00:58:47looked down on him

00:58:48because of this,

00:58:48but he didn't care.

00:58:49The two guards

00:58:50who stood by his side

00:58:51weren't the same pair

00:58:52as the time

00:58:53when he had visited

00:58:54the military base.

00:58:55After their mistakes,

00:58:56he decided to give them

00:58:57another role

00:58:57and had replaced them.

00:58:59Jack's way was the only,

00:59:00and very rarely,

00:59:01did he give people

00:59:02second chances.

00:59:03If one was to mess up,

00:59:04he could always take

00:59:05their power away

00:59:06before giving it to another.

00:59:07The tapping continued,

00:59:08and the guards

00:59:09were now looking at Jack

00:59:10out of the corner of their eye

00:59:11as it seemed to be

00:59:11getting louder and louder.

00:59:13Damn it.

00:59:14He shouted

00:59:14as he slammed his fist

00:59:15on the desk.

00:59:16It has to be pure.

00:59:17Once again,

00:59:18they got the upper hand

00:59:19and managed to get rid

00:59:20of him somehow,

00:59:20and there isn't even

00:59:21much I can do.

00:59:22Jack said,

00:59:23for this one,

00:59:24Jack was on his own.

00:59:25He hadn't informed Oscar

00:59:26or any of the other

00:59:27military personnel

00:59:28about Peter,

00:59:29how he was most likely

00:59:29a suspect of pure.

00:59:31This was because

00:59:31he wanted to do

00:59:32everything himself.

00:59:33The only person

00:59:34who had been helping him

00:59:35along the way

00:59:35was General Duke.

00:59:36Duke was always the one

00:59:37who assigned two guards

00:59:38to be kept on Peter

00:59:39and decided who he would

00:59:40go up against

00:59:41and the ref

00:59:42while the others

00:59:42knew nothing.

00:59:43He couldn't ask

00:59:44for their help,

00:59:45and he couldn't start

00:59:46turning this place

00:59:46upside down,

00:59:47trying to look

00:59:48for an insider.

00:59:49Otherwise,

00:59:49they would find out.

00:59:50They would then

00:59:51question Jack's motives

00:59:52and put all the blame

00:59:53on him.

00:59:54Although,

00:59:54he was in the position

00:59:55where it wouldn't be

00:59:56too much of a problem,

00:59:57he still just didn't

00:59:57want to deal with it.

00:59:58The others didn't like

00:59:59him in the first place.

01:00:00He knew that the other

01:00:01three regretted

01:00:02ever inviting him

01:00:02into the big four.

01:00:03The only reason why

01:00:04he was able to stay

01:00:05in his position of power

01:00:06was due to his great

01:00:06relationship with

01:00:07the military and Oscar.

01:00:08There was a good chance

01:00:09what he had tried to do

01:00:10would sour that relationship,

01:00:11and the others would use

01:00:12this opportunity to break it.

01:00:14The worst part about

01:00:14this whole mess

01:00:15was that now he had to

01:00:16make sure the others

01:00:17and military wouldn't

01:00:18find out about it.

01:00:18He was the one that now

01:00:19needed to cover up

01:00:20his own tracks.

01:00:21IIT was decided.

01:00:23A report was sent out

01:00:23to Duke with further

01:00:24instructions.

01:00:25Peter would no longer

01:00:26be taking part in the

01:00:27tournament due to an

01:00:28emergency matter.

01:00:29What emergency matter,

01:00:30he would let him decide.

01:00:31When they returned to

01:00:32the military base,

01:00:33he would let Duke

01:00:34handle the rest.

01:00:35The disappearance

01:00:35of one student

01:00:36shouldn't be too hard

01:00:37to do in his position.

01:00:38An attempted runaway,

01:00:39a suicide.

01:00:40There were many

01:00:41different options

01:00:41they could put

01:00:42Peter's disappearance

01:00:43as,

01:00:43Pure, I promise,

01:00:44if I ever find out

01:00:45where your base is.

01:00:46I'll send my whole army

01:00:47after you,

01:00:48and crush you.

01:00:49He said,

01:00:49squeezing his fist tightly.

01:00:51The next day had arrived,

01:00:52and it was now morning.

01:00:54The events were not set

01:00:54for some time yet,

01:00:55and the main events

01:00:56even later.

01:00:57That's why Quinn found

01:00:58it very odd

01:00:59when he had a no.

01:01:00CK bright early

01:01:01in the morning,

01:01:01before even opening

01:01:02the door,

01:01:03though,

01:01:03he knew who it was.

01:01:05He paused for a second,

01:01:06and then braced himself

01:01:07before opening it.

01:01:08Vorden,

01:01:09why are you here

01:01:10so early?

01:01:10The events don't start later.

01:01:12Quinn said,

01:01:13trying to make things

01:01:14seem familiar between them,

01:01:15but it was clear

01:01:16that it wasn't.

01:01:16Am I allowed in?

01:01:17Vorden asked.

01:01:18Come on,

01:01:18don't be like that.

01:01:19Please.

01:01:20The more you act differently,

01:01:22the more you will remind me

01:01:23of the crap you pulled.

01:01:24Quinn said.

01:01:25Once inside the room,

01:01:26Vorden carried on walking

01:01:27and headed for the outside window.

01:01:29The bright light shined

01:01:30on his golden hair

01:01:31and handsome face.

01:01:32When looking at him now,

01:01:34the sadness in his eyes

01:01:35made him look like

01:01:35an abandoned prince.

01:01:37I wanted to tell you

01:01:37about yesterday,

01:01:38before you go asking.

01:01:40You're right.

01:01:40It's not fair

01:01:41that I keep all my secrets

01:01:42while I know all of yours.

01:01:44Quinn himself was now

01:01:44feeling a little guilty

01:01:45as he hadn't told

01:01:46the others everything,

01:01:47but it wasn't like

01:01:48it was a big deal

01:01:49to explain to them

01:01:49how his powers worked.

01:01:51How it was a game

01:01:51like a system.

01:01:52Even if he did tell them

01:01:53it wouldn't have changed anything,

01:01:55how much do you remember

01:01:56before you were knocked out?

01:01:57Vorden asked.

01:01:58You mean when you were screaming

01:01:59that your name wasn't Vorden

01:02:00and you were Syl?

01:02:01Or,

01:02:02when you nearly roasted me

01:02:03like a chicken

01:02:03before then zapping me?

01:02:05Quinn replied.

01:02:06Well,

01:02:06it looks like you remember

01:02:07everything then,

01:02:08said Vorden.

01:02:09Like I said,

01:02:10yesterday that was me.

01:02:12There was no mind control

01:02:13or anything.

01:02:14Syl and I are the same person.

01:02:16Vorden,

01:02:17you're going to have to be

01:02:18clearer than that.

01:02:18I really can't go into details,

01:02:20but have you ever heard of Did?

01:02:21Quinn paused for a second

01:02:22as he thought about it.

01:02:23The strange actions,

01:02:25the fluctuations in voice.

01:02:26It indeed was like

01:02:27he was a different person.

01:02:28Suddenly,

01:02:29a memory came back to him.

01:02:31There was one time

01:02:31he had met Syl before.

01:02:33When he was being questioned,

01:02:34Quinn always wondered

01:02:35how Vorden had gotten away

01:02:36with the lying test back then.

01:02:38He thought he had borrowed

01:02:39a mind-swappability at the time,

01:02:40but what if that wasn't

01:02:41the case at all?

01:02:42You mean you have

01:02:42split personalities?

01:02:44Quinn said,

01:02:45shocked.

01:02:45He had heard of things

01:02:46like this before,

01:02:47but had never seen

01:02:48anything like this in person.

01:02:50He also never realized

01:02:51how separate

01:02:51these personalities were.

01:02:53He always thought

01:02:53if he was to meet someone

01:02:54with Did it would be

01:02:55similar to a person

01:02:56who had mood swings.

01:02:57But the way Vorden had acted

01:02:58was almost like two people

01:02:59were living inside one body,

01:03:00and I can't go into

01:03:01many details about how,

01:03:02or why not yet anyway,

01:03:03but I will tell you one thing.

01:03:05I can copy only one ability.

01:03:07In comparison,

01:03:08the other one can copy three.

01:03:09That's why I needed

01:03:10to switch with him yesterday

01:03:11when fighting you.

01:03:13Vorden explained.

01:03:14Purposely,

01:03:15Vorden avoided telling Quinn

01:03:16about Ratten,

01:03:17having to tell someone

01:03:17this was hard enough,

01:03:18and he wasn't able

01:03:19to go into details

01:03:20about the whole thing anyway.

01:03:22So, for now,

01:03:22he would keep it

01:03:23as simple as possible.

01:03:24Vorden,

01:03:25why didn't you tell us this?

01:03:26I told you about me

01:03:27being a vampire, right?

01:03:29If you told me

01:03:30or even the others,

01:03:31we would have understood.

01:03:32Do you know why

01:03:32I'm telling you this, Quinn?

01:03:34Because I want to

01:03:35regain your trust.

01:03:36You trusted me,

01:03:36and now I'm trusting you.

01:03:38Vorden then held out his hand.

01:03:40When looking at it,

01:03:41it reminded Quinn

01:03:42of the first day

01:03:43the two of them had met.

01:03:44He was the only one

01:03:45that reached out to him.

01:03:46Ever since then,

01:03:47the two of them

01:03:48had been through all out.

01:03:49Then he remembered

01:03:50something else

01:03:50the three of them

01:03:51had gone through a lot.

01:03:52There was also Peter.

01:03:54I trust you, Vorden,

01:03:55Quinn said,

01:03:56shaking his hand.

01:03:57But that doesn't mean

01:03:58I don't think

01:03:58you make stupid decisions.

01:04:00So,

01:04:00do I get to meet this guy

01:04:01at some point?

01:04:02Maybe we can be friends.

01:04:04Vorden laughed,

01:04:04but chose not to say

01:04:05anything back.

01:04:07If Syl had heard this,

01:04:08he would have been

01:04:08running out from his corner

01:04:09and had taken over

01:04:10the seat in an instant.

01:04:12When approaching Quinn

01:04:12back then,

01:04:13when they had first met,

01:04:14he did so because

01:04:15he was a level one.

01:04:16Often low levels

01:04:17looked at the world

01:04:18differently due to

01:04:18how they were treated.

01:04:19But after Syl had

01:04:20gained an interest,

01:04:21it meant now his life

01:04:22would revolve around Quinn.

01:04:24However,

01:04:25Vorden was happy

01:04:25that Syl had taken

01:04:26an interest in Quinn.

01:04:27He felt like the two of them

01:04:28were no real friends.

01:04:30I also came here

01:04:31for something else as well,

01:04:32said Vorden.

01:04:32I was hoping to come here

01:04:33before they did,

01:04:34and it looks like

01:04:35I beat them.

01:04:36They?

01:04:36Quinn replied,

01:04:37slightly confused.

01:04:38Did you forget?

01:04:39Now that Peter isn't there,

01:04:40that means the substitute

01:04:41will have to take his place.

01:04:43They should be here soon

01:04:44to take you underground.

01:04:45Vorden explained.

01:04:46Oh.

01:04:46I completely forgot about it.

01:04:48I never thought

01:04:48this would even happen.

01:04:50Oh well.

01:04:51He said,

01:04:52shrugging his shoulders.

01:04:53I guess I'll just

01:04:54lose the match.

01:04:55Do you really want

01:04:55to do that,

01:04:56Quinn?

01:04:56What do you mean?

01:04:57I have to?

01:04:58I'm asking you again,

01:04:59do you want to lose the match?

01:05:00Of course,

01:05:00Quinn didn't.

01:05:01For the longest time,

01:05:02ever since he had

01:05:03gotten his powers,

01:05:04he wanted to show

01:05:04all those people

01:05:05who thought he was weak,

01:05:06all those people

01:05:07that bullied him

01:05:08what he could do.

01:05:08And more than ever,

01:05:10he tried to beat

01:05:10whatever Net True Dream

01:05:11had set up for Quinn.

01:05:12All this mess

01:05:13in the first place

01:05:14was because of him

01:05:15and sick ways.

01:05:16We can fight,

01:05:17said Vorden.

01:05:18On the Red Portal Planet,

01:05:20we came up with a plan,

01:05:21remember?

01:05:22If they discover your powers,

01:05:23then I would tell them

01:05:24that my family

01:05:24was backing you.

01:05:25We can use that today.

01:05:27Before Fex had left,

01:05:28he said something.

01:05:29He told us that he

01:05:30and the one who came

01:05:31to get him

01:05:31were the only vampires

01:05:32on the military bases.

01:05:34That there were no others.

01:05:35At the time,

01:05:36I was wondering

01:05:36why he needed to tell us that.

01:05:38It is always better

01:05:39to be careful

01:05:39just in case, right?

01:05:41But I think he knew

01:05:42what was going to happen

01:05:42once Peter was taken.

01:05:44He was telling you

01:05:44to go crazy,

01:05:45not to worry.

01:05:46With Vorden using

01:05:47his original family name,

01:05:48they would no longer

01:05:49be after Quinn

01:05:49for the ability book.

01:05:51They would assume

01:05:51it was with Vorden's family.

01:05:53The other problem

01:05:53was the vampires.

01:05:54Even I.

01:05:55If they weren't here,

01:05:56there was always the chance

01:05:57they would find out about him,

01:05:58but did that really matter anymore?

01:06:00It was only a matter of time

01:06:01before they found out

01:06:02about Peter,

01:06:03which would eventually

01:06:04lead them back to Quinn.

01:06:05If you're ready,

01:06:06said Vorden.

01:06:07Then,

01:06:08I am as well.

01:06:09I don't want to hide anymore,

01:06:10Quinn replied.

01:06:11Chapter 331

01:06:12The New Guy

01:06:13Before leaving Quinn

01:06:14on his own,

01:06:15Vorden had a few last words

01:06:16to say to him.

01:06:17Hearing these words,

01:06:18he now knew what to do

01:06:19and was confident

01:06:20right after Vorden had left.

01:06:22He was on his own

01:06:22in his room.

01:06:23His heart,

01:06:24although beating slowly,

01:06:25was beating loud and strong.

01:06:27New rising energy

01:06:28was felt surging

01:06:29through his whole body.

01:06:30I wonder why I'm so excited.

01:06:32While being left on his own,

01:06:34he had time to reflect

01:06:35on everything

01:06:35and everyone

01:06:36that he had met so far.

01:06:38After finding that book

01:06:39and coming to the military school,

01:06:40he had a crazy journey

01:06:41he had never expected.

01:06:43More than anything,

01:06:44he didn't think

01:06:45there would be others

01:06:45who would join him

01:06:46along the way.

01:06:47A genius hacker,

01:06:48a terrorist or double agent,

01:06:49a vampire and an undead.

01:06:51Then you have the ice queen

01:06:52and finally,

01:06:53the only one

01:06:54who I thought was normal

01:06:55turns out to have

01:06:56a split personality.

01:06:57Quinn thought,

01:06:58I guess these were

01:06:59the only friends I could make.

01:07:00What they say is true,

01:07:02crazy people attract

01:07:03other crazy people.

01:07:04Yesterday night,

01:07:05while on his walk,

01:07:06Quinn had regained

01:07:07all of his health points.

01:07:08As long as he wasn't hungry

01:07:09and needed blood,

01:07:11his body would naturally

01:07:12regenerate on its own.

01:07:13But if it did,

01:07:14it would make it also

01:07:14so he was hungrier sooner.

01:07:16This made it hard for him

01:07:17to tell how practical

01:07:18the single session

01:07:19of restraining himself was.

01:07:20From the way Fex described it,

01:07:22as long as he wasn't

01:07:22drinking blood daily

01:07:23as he did before,

01:07:24then it shouldn't

01:07:25cause much change.

01:07:26He didn't know how much

01:07:27he managed to wean off

01:07:28the blood addiction,

01:07:28but from now on,

01:07:30he knew he had to be careful.

01:07:31With no blood flask,

01:07:32it would be a while

01:07:33until he could start consuming

01:07:34the blood of students again.

01:07:35Then suddenly a thought

01:07:36came to his head.

01:07:37He quickly opened up

01:07:38the system shop

01:07:39and continued to scroll

01:07:40through the options.

01:07:41That's it, there it is,

01:07:42Quinn said.

01:07:43The flask had been

01:07:43in the shop all along.

01:07:45At the time,

01:07:45he never thought such a thing

01:07:47would have been useful

01:07:47since he had the blood bank

01:07:48and Layla,

01:07:49but now it seemed like

01:07:50a handy item indeed.

01:07:52Then when looking

01:07:52at the ingredients needed,

01:07:53he was quickly disappointed.

01:07:55They were two intermediate

01:07:56level beasts as well

01:07:57as an advanced tier one.

01:07:59For such a little item,

01:08:00it needed quite a few things.

01:08:01The problem was,

01:08:02they weren't items

01:08:03commonly found

01:08:04in the marketplace.

01:08:05Quinn would either

01:08:06have to hunt for it himself,

01:08:07which was near impossible,

01:08:08or hire someone else

01:08:09to get the item for him.

01:08:10However,

01:08:11now that he knew

01:08:11it was possible

01:08:12to make one of his own,

01:08:13he would keep it in mind.

01:08:14Maybe when he earned

01:08:15enough credits in the future,

01:08:16he would be able

01:08:16to start making items

01:08:17from the shop.

01:08:18Knock, knock, knock.

01:08:19Once again,

01:08:20a knock was heard.

01:08:21On his door.

01:08:22It was still early morning,

01:08:23but he had been expecting this.

01:08:25Not knowing who the smell

01:08:26was coming from

01:08:27meant it was them.

01:08:28After opening the door,

01:08:29three soldiers dressed

01:08:30in the slick black uniform

01:08:31stood there tall and strong.

01:08:33Quintallon, correct?

01:08:34Yes, S-I-R-A-N

01:08:36emergency matter

01:08:37involving Peter Chuck

01:08:38has caused him

01:08:39to drop out of the tournament.

01:08:40Due to this,

01:08:41the substitute of Dell's class,

01:08:43Quintallon,

01:08:43must participate.

01:08:44Please follow us.

01:08:45After a quick elevator ride down,

01:08:47they had finally arrived

01:08:48at the underground area.

01:08:49Unlike above,

01:08:50the students here

01:08:51were already awake

01:08:52and were practicing

01:08:53for the events.

01:08:54Still,

01:08:54many of them had nerves

01:08:55as it was only the second day.

01:08:57Before being able to join them,

01:08:58Quintallon was further taken

01:08:59to a separate area

01:09:00where a theater was a desk

01:09:01and what looked like

01:09:02a small office area

01:09:03had been set up

01:09:03behind the desk.

01:09:04Equipment was there

01:09:05for participants to be used

01:09:06as well as other things

01:09:07such as snacks and beverages.

01:09:09There were also many soldiers

01:09:10standing on guard,

01:09:11keeping an eye on everyone.

01:09:12The tension was high

01:09:13between the participants

01:09:13and this often caused things

01:09:15to heat up between them.

01:09:16The soldiers didn't mind

01:09:17a bit of back and forth

01:09:18between students,

01:09:19but the second there was fighting

01:09:20they would stop it.

01:09:21Fights were to be displayed

01:09:22in the arena,

01:09:22not down below,

01:09:23where nobody would see.

01:09:24The reason for bringing

01:09:25Quintallon to the desk

01:09:26was because he needed

01:09:27to be registered.

01:09:28They handed him over a tablet

01:09:29where he was to input

01:09:30his fighting name,

01:09:31that oh, crap,

01:09:31I didn't think of this.

01:09:32I can't use my gamer ID,

01:09:34as Peter did.

01:09:35Even if I'm using

01:09:36my shadow powers,

01:09:37I won't be using

01:09:37my blood powers.

01:09:39Struggling to come up

01:09:39with a name,

01:09:40finally managed to put one down.

01:09:42The man at the desk

01:09:42looked at the tablet

01:09:43and chuckled,

01:09:44before handing it over

01:09:45to one of the other soldiers.

01:09:46You're free to use

01:09:47the training area

01:09:48as you wish.

01:09:49You will be called

01:09:49later on in the day,

01:09:50and your room number,

01:09:51if you want to rest,

01:09:52is 23,

01:09:53or if you manage

01:09:53to make it through.

01:09:54The man then paused

01:09:55for a second.

01:09:56He looked at Quinn's wristwatch

01:09:57and realized

01:09:58that it said the level one.

01:10:00He shook his head

01:10:00in disbelief,

01:10:01not understanding

01:10:02what this class was thinking.

01:10:03Sure,

01:10:04the last student

01:10:04was a level one,

01:10:05but they were clearly

01:10:06a special case,

01:10:07and the others

01:10:07could even see

01:10:08that due to the guards

01:10:09always being around them

01:10:09don't worry about it,

01:10:10and just do what you want

01:10:11until we call you.

01:10:12The man said

01:10:13as he wafted his hand,

01:10:14suggesting for Quinn

01:10:15to go away.

01:10:16Was my name really that bad?

01:10:17Is that why he was laughing?

01:10:19But Quinn thought,

01:10:20looking around,

01:10:21there really wasn't

01:10:21much for him to do.

01:10:23Since the first round

01:10:23of fights

01:10:24had already been completed,

01:10:25the others knew

01:10:26what powers they had.

01:10:27This meant that

01:10:28the training hall

01:10:29was full of people

01:10:29using their powers,

01:10:30they would still

01:10:31keep moves hidden,

01:10:32but they were able

01:10:32to practice a lot

01:10:33better than before.

01:10:34But for Quinn,

01:10:35he still wanted to keep

01:10:36his powers hidden

01:10:36until the fight.

01:10:37Instead of fighting himself,

01:10:39he decided to lean up

01:10:40against the wall

01:10:41and keep,

01:10:42and eye out on all the others.

01:10:43One of these in a room,

01:10:44he would be fighting,

01:10:45he had been there

01:10:46for a good five minutes,

01:10:47and when leaning up

01:10:48against the wall,

01:10:48another person games

01:10:49to join him.

01:10:50One that was quite wide

01:10:51and large,

01:10:52and had a square looking head.

01:10:54The two said nothing

01:10:55to each other

01:10:55as they looked

01:10:56at all the participants.

01:10:57The person who was also

01:10:58up against the wall

01:10:59was Nate.

01:10:59The whole night,

01:11:01Sam had been excited

01:11:01after finding out

01:11:02that Zombie P would be

01:11:03in the fighting event.

01:11:04It was a shame

01:11:05that the blood evolver

01:11:06didn't turn out to be Larry,

01:11:07but this had at least

01:11:07him up for it.

01:11:08However,

01:11:09as soon as he had

01:11:09entered the room,

01:11:10he looked and looked

01:11:11but couldn't see Peter

01:11:12anywhere.

01:11:13He stood out more

01:11:14than the others,

01:11:14and he wasn't the only one

01:11:16that had noticed this.

01:11:17Peter was now well known

01:11:18to everyone,

01:11:19he was the kid

01:11:19who always had two guards

01:11:20beside him,

01:11:21and it also turns out

01:11:22he had an amazing

01:11:23regenerative ability.

01:11:24For him to suddenly disappear,

01:11:25they all could tell

01:11:26straight away.

01:11:27Noticing this,

01:11:28Nate knew that there

01:11:29had to be a replacement.

01:11:30Wanting to get a better

01:11:31look at everyone,

01:11:32he decided to look

01:11:32from the wall

01:11:33and look at all

01:11:34the participants

01:11:34taking part.

01:11:35From the first day,

01:11:36he had kept an eye

01:11:37on everyone

01:11:38as he went about

01:11:38looking for Larry.

01:11:39There were far fewer

01:11:40people today,

01:11:41but still,

01:11:42he couldn't see

01:11:43anyone new practicing.

01:11:44Where's the replacement?

01:11:45Suddenly,

01:11:46a large slash of air

01:11:47came out through.

01:11:48It was hard to see,

01:11:49but one could feel it

01:11:50if their senses

01:11:50were sharp enough.

01:11:52Nate,

01:11:52noticing this,

01:11:53turned to his side

01:11:53as he moved.

01:11:54At the same moment,

01:11:55he saw another student

01:11:56that had been on the wall

01:11:57with him the whole time.

01:11:58Hey, move!

01:11:59Nate shouted,

01:12:00I'll see you later.
