FunTranscript
00:00:00Logan and Quinn turned to look at Vorden.
00:00:01They didn't know if he was just trying to cheer her up,
00:00:03or if he really did have strange taste.
00:00:05Come on, Quinn said.
00:00:07Let's go for a walk.
00:00:08He said, shaking his head,
00:00:10realizing this would be a different kind of trouble that they weren't used to.
00:00:13Chapter 351.
00:00:15Testing and Chosing an Ability.
00:00:17With a single click from the computer,
00:00:19a hologram displayed all the information about the subclass known as Hanya to the group.
00:00:23They were all currently inside Logan's room.
00:00:25When asked what Layla was,
00:00:26Quinn found it hard to answer without making himself seem suspicious.
00:00:30He didn't know a lot about vampires in the first place,
00:00:32and all his knowledge before could be said that it came from Fex.
00:00:35The only person that knew about the system and some of the system skills was Logan.
00:00:38The suggestion had been made that perhaps they could find something online.
00:00:42So as they planned ahead to Logan's room to do some research,
00:00:45Quinn told him beforehand what Layla really was.
00:00:47Based on the algorithm taken from the photos of Layla's face,
00:00:50it seems like my genius AI system was able to come up with something.
00:00:53The AI cross-references and matches the details with folklore tales related to vampires in one way or another,
00:00:58Logan said as he gave a quick wink to Quinn while nobody was paying attention to him.
00:01:02Layla and the others begin to read the information shown.
00:01:05What was written out was precisely the same as what had been displayed from Quinn's system.
00:01:09Emotional?
00:01:10Me?
00:01:11Layla said suddenly,
00:01:12but she realized that she was just letting what the screen said now prove her wrong.
00:01:16So correcting herself,
00:01:17she tried her best to hold everything in.
00:01:20She cleared her throat and started again.
00:01:22Okay, say I and this Hanya demon thing.
00:01:24The only thing I don't really understand is the feeding off negative emotions part.
00:01:28If I was to take a guess,
00:01:29Borden said,
00:01:30I would say it's one of two things.
00:01:32Just as Quinn gets pleasure from blood,
00:01:34you am.
00:01:35I'd be able to feed off the aura of negative or sad people.
00:01:38Or there is the second option,
00:01:39you feed by making people negative.
00:01:41The others didn't say anything,
00:01:43but they felt like Borden was spot on with his deduction.
00:01:46That line could only be interpreted like that,
00:01:47and they just hoped it wasn't the second one.
00:01:50However, the first part might prove difficult as well.
00:01:52Where were they meant to find negative people?
00:01:54Would they have to go around the school looking for someone who had just broken up?
00:01:57Or, perhaps start calling people names?
00:01:59Don't worry too much about this.
00:02:01The system said to Quinn,
00:02:02seeing his concern.
00:02:04Remember what I said about Category C?
00:02:06Unlike ghouls or vampires who need blood or flesh to survive,
00:02:09the Hanya don't need negative emotions to live.
00:02:11This is just what powers them and allows them to evolve eventually.
00:02:15That was another thing that Quinn worried about, evolving.
00:02:17He remembered that there was also a chance that Peter could have evolved into the Wendigo.
00:02:22Perhaps what Layla would evolve into wasn't exactly a good thing.
00:02:24The S.O.
00:02:25Do you know if they feed on negative emotions or feed by creating negative emotions?
00:02:30Quinn asked.
00:02:30Ha ha, this was why I didn't want to butt in, but I felt the need to.
00:02:34I don't remember.
00:02:35The system replied.
00:02:36Useless as always.
00:02:38Quinn thought.
00:02:38S.O.
00:02:39Based on the information.
00:02:40Unlike Quinn and Peter, you won't have abnormal strength or speed.
00:02:43Logan explained.
00:02:45But instead magical abilities, perhaps in a way similar to Quinn's blood abilities.
00:02:49What about your ability from before?
00:02:51Can you still use that?
00:02:52Logan asked.
00:02:53She shook her head in response.
00:02:55And oh, I already tried on the way over here.
00:02:57It's completely gone.
00:02:58But it was expected.
00:02:59She replied.
00:03:00Well, have you thought about what ability you do want?
00:03:03Vorden asked.
00:03:04Now's the time for a fresh new leaf.
00:03:06We don't know if telekinesis is compatible with vampires or not.
00:03:09But even so, if you really want to, you could choose a completely new ability.
00:03:13Layla continued to fidget and play with the small bumps on top of her head as she thought
00:03:17about it.
00:03:17If she moved her hair to the side of her face, it would slightly cover them up.
00:03:21But a hairband or bandana would be best as well.
00:03:24What would mom's reaction be if she saw this?
00:03:26Then she started to think about her bow.
00:03:28It was an item gifted and given to her by her mother before she came to the academy.
00:03:31I think it would be best to still have an ability that compliments my bow.
00:03:34Said Layla.
00:03:35We don't really know how this magic works.
00:03:37But if it's like Quinn's blood abilities, it will have a limit before they can be used
00:03:41again.
00:03:41So it's best to have a backup to use in any case scenario.
00:03:44And a melee weapon doesn't really suit me since I didn't get any stronger in the other
00:03:48departments.
00:03:49But I'm not sure if I want to stick to telekinesis or not.
00:03:52Maybe after using my vampire abilities, there might be something more suited for the bow
00:03:55and them together.
00:03:57I'll have to think about it for now.
00:03:58I think that's the right choice.
00:04:00Said Vorden.
00:04:01Well, what are we waiting for?
00:04:03We need to test your powers, right?
00:04:05Let's see what you can do.
00:04:06What here now?
00:04:07But I don't even know how or what to do.
00:04:09Layla responded.Logan's room was pretty big due to it being one of the VIP rooms.
00:04:13It was even bigger than Vorden and Quinn's room that was meant to house three people inside.
00:04:17So there was plenty of floor space.
00:04:19Still, things were lying all over the floor and Logan quickly allowed his spiders to get
00:04:23to work clearing everything and putting it to the side.
00:04:26After a few moments, the floor looked almost brand new.
00:04:28I asked there anything those spiders can't do?
00:04:31Vorden thought.
00:04:31They weren't going to fight, so the space was enough.
00:04:35They just needed her to use her skills.
00:04:37Layla stood in the middle of the room, and the target of choice for her abilities would
00:04:40be Quinn.
00:04:41This was because he had a healing factor that they could rely on and technically had the
00:04:45strongest body there.
00:04:46He also felt like it was only right to volunteer himself for something like this.
00:04:50Being the person who changed her, as, oh, what do I do?
00:04:53Layla asked that I guess I can explain what I do when I use my blood abilities, Quinn suggested.
00:04:57You should feel this strange energy in your body swirling around.
00:05:01Try grabbing onto it, then when you release that energy, you have a clear image inside
00:05:05your head of what you think the skill will look like.
00:05:07It's quite similar to how we learn our usual skills from skill books, only you don't have
00:05:11any reference to go on.
00:05:12This kind of just works for me.
00:05:14Quinn said, Logan, back on his computer, pretended to have taken and found more information about
00:05:19Hanya, when in reality, it was just what Quinn had already told him.
00:05:23He described the characteristics of the power they used, and what the two skills might
00:05:26look like, giving out every bit of detail apart from what the ability did.
00:05:30That thing is extremely detailed to be up online, Borden commented.
00:05:33Are you sure that vampires didn't write that article?
00:05:35Well, we won't know till we try, will we?
00:05:38I don't think it's accurate, but it allows us to start somewhere.
00:05:41Logan replied, unless you have any better ideas?
00:05:44Layla closed her eyes, and nearly instantly, she could feel the strange energy that Quinn was
00:05:48talking about.
00:05:49Maybe it was because she no longer had her ability, and there weren't many other changes
00:05:53to her body apart from this one, but she was able to pick it out straight away.
00:05:56However, as she thought and grabbed onto this energy more, memories started to appear in
00:06:00her head, memories of her mother, memories of her time at Pure, and memories of her dear
00:06:05friend Aaron.
00:06:06Without realizing it, her face looked sad on the outside, and tears were flowing down them
00:06:10dropping onto the floor.
00:06:12She tried her best to ignore them, and started to picture one of the skill's spiritual chain.
00:06:16The others could see Layla's face full of tears and wondered what was happening, but
00:06:20because her eyes were still closed, they didn't want to bother her, then suddenly, spiritual
00:06:24chain.
00:06:24She said as she opened up her eyes.
00:06:26A.T.
00:06:27Hick blackball the size of a basketball, came shooting out of her hands.
00:06:31It almost looked like a fireball, only black and colored on her very first try to attack
00:06:35was a success.
00:06:36Chapter 352.
00:06:37Feeding on Negative Energy.
00:06:39The spiritual chain had been cast, and the bulk fireball came hurling towards Quinn.
00:06:43The speed was fast as well like a cannonball, Quinn braced himself, but he didn't move,
00:06:47and allowed it to hit his body.
00:06:48As soon as it made an impact across his stomach, the balls split up, and chains made of fire
00:06:53started to wrap around him.
00:06:55Not just one, but several, around his body, around his arms, and they all then attached
00:06:59themselves to the floor.
00:07:00Everything happened in almost an instant as soon as the ball hit, while a part of the
00:07:04chains were wrapped around Quinn, the other ends were in a circle shape attached to the
00:07:07floor.
00:07:08Quinn tried to use half of his strength at first to move.
00:07:10He thought it would be enough, and didn't want to upset Layla if it was weak.
00:07:13But it seemed impossible for him to move.
00:07:15He then tried using his full strength, and this time he could move slightly, but the
00:07:19chain still seemed to hold.
00:07:20A few seconds later, and they had disappeared entirely, and he could now move again well.
00:07:25Layla said with an excited look on her face.
00:07:28She was happy with her success, and how with relative ease, she was able to perform the
00:07:32skill on her first try, it's strong, Quinn replied.
00:07:34Really strong.
00:07:36I used my full strength, and I still couldn't break free.
00:07:39The boys were surprised as well at what Quinn had said.
00:07:41He didn't have his gauntlets on, but his regular strength was still plenty strong.
00:07:45It's a shame about the duration.
00:07:46It seemed to only last a second and a half.
00:07:49Vorden said.
00:07:50But still, in a fight between life and death, that's all it can take sometimes.
00:07:55Yes, Logan replied.
00:07:56But, remember the text also said that it would depend on one's mental state at the time as
00:08:00well as the user's mental state.
00:08:02Logan started to think about the tears he had seen before she had performed the skill.
00:08:06Perhaps this had something to do with its power but decide to remain silent for now.
00:08:10Layla had a huge grin on her face, and suddenly she was pleased.
00:08:13Her first skill was this powerful, and she didn't even have an ability yet.
00:08:17She could definitely be helpful to the others now, and there was room to grow even stronger.
00:08:21Come on.
00:08:21She said in a cheery voice.
00:08:23Let's try the next one.
00:08:24She quickly wiped away the tears from her face, and tried to visualize the same thing again.
00:08:29She closed her eyes, but oddly enough, something was wrong.
00:08:32The energy from before that she could feel was no longer there, that I asked that all
00:08:36the magical ability, I have, only enough for one skill.
00:08:40After standing around for a while, the others realized something, must have been up, as well.
00:08:44I don't understand.
00:08:45She said.
00:08:46I did the same thing as last time.
00:08:48Looking at Layla, Vorden seemed to have figured out the one difference compared to before to
00:08:51know.
00:08:52Correct me if I'm wrong, but Layla, are you happy right now?
00:08:55Vorden asked.
00:08:56At first, Layla didn't understand.
00:08:59So what if she was happy?
00:09:00Shouldn't she be?
00:09:00But then she soon released from reading the text.
00:09:03Her powers were affected by how she was feeling at the time, and positive emotions weren't
00:09:07a part of the description.
00:09:08What is this crap?
00:09:09So are they saying I can only use my powers if I'm upset?
00:09:12She shouted, that's it, Layla.
00:09:14Vorden cheered.
00:09:15Come on.
00:09:16Keep getting angry.
00:09:17Quinn say something to her.
00:09:18I don't think this is a good idea, Quinn replied, stepping back.
00:09:21Maybe her horns will start to grow bigger or something.
00:09:24Quinn.
00:09:24She mumbled with both her hands and fists by her side, and her head down.
00:09:28That really hurt.
00:09:29She whispered, and instead of trying to use her ability again, she quickly stormed out
00:09:34of the room.
00:09:35The three boys just continued to look at each other stunned, until Logan finally broke the
00:09:39silence.
00:09:40Well, I thought what Quinn said was a good one if I do say so myself.
00:09:43Nothing we can do now.
00:09:45We will just have to let her calm down.
00:09:46It's not like she's going to eat someone or suck their blood.
00:09:49Logan said as he pulled the drawer open and grabbed a few things from it.
00:09:53Sandwich, anyone?
00:09:53In anger and sadness, and a mind filled with emotions, Layla continued to walk down the
00:09:59stairs and headed straight back for her room.
00:10:01She knew what the others were trying to do, but it hurt her a little bit too much.
00:10:04Why am I getting so upset?
00:10:06I know they were just trying to help.
00:10:07They didn't mean all that stuff, right?
00:10:09It seemed like what the text about Hanya said was right.
00:10:11She would be more emotional than before.
00:10:13Sensitive.
00:10:14If she wanted to learn how to use her powers properly, she would have to learn how to
00:10:18harness and control these emotions, but she couldn't do it instantly.
00:10:21She quickly adjusted her hair to make sure it covered up her small little bumps and continued
00:10:25on.
00:10:26As she stood outside the door, a sweet smell seemed to be coming from inside.
00:10:30Is CIA cooking something?
00:10:32Layla thought.
00:10:33She opened the door, and it looked like her guest was completely wrong.
00:10:36CIA wasn't cooking anything, and instead was still wrapped in her quilt sulking.
00:10:40Has she been crying for the whole day?
00:10:42However, Layla soon realized what the sweet smell was, for in her vision around the room,
00:10:46she could see a heavy black mist seemed to be covering the room, and it was the same
00:10:50type of energy that she felt inside her.
00:10:53She tried reaching for it, grabbing it, and it looked as if the mist moved and went inside
00:10:57of her own body.
00:10:58Suddenly, she felt a surge in power inside her cells.
00:11:01She could feel something overcome her, although it felt powerful.
00:11:04At the same time, she felt sad, as if these negative feelings from the room were now inside
00:11:09of her, Layla, you're finally back.
00:11:11Yes, Layla replied as she couldn't hide her smile.
00:11:14I'm back, but I'm a bit hungry.
00:11:16In an unknown place, underground, where it was pitch black and not a single speck of
00:11:20light could be seen, the sounds of growls could be heard, monstrous roars and clashing,
00:11:25banging of all sorts as to each.
00:11:28EY rattled their cells.
00:11:29Thankfully, these creatures had been locked away, pinned behind special black bars, trapped
00:11:34with no way out.
00:11:35To get to such a dark place, one would have to walk hundreds of meters down a spiral staircase
00:11:39and then finally down the many hallways.
00:11:41Walking down one hallway, Silver could hear it all.
00:11:43It was a place she hated to visit and she never wanted to come back here again, but
00:11:47she needed to.
00:11:48She continued to walk until eventually, she stopped just outside one of the rooms.
00:11:52Behind bars, a dark figure could be seen.
00:11:54Tell me, why did you do it?
00:11:55Why did you do it?
00:11:56Brother.
00:11:57Chapter 353.
00:11:59The Dark Planet.
00:11:59On a particular planet, when one would look up at the sky, they would discover the fact
00:12:03that they were three moons.
00:12:04Two of the moons shined brightly, allowing a light glow on the surface.
00:12:08While one of the moons had an important role.
00:12:10It created a permanent eclipse blocking out the sun.
00:12:12While the other two were naturally made, this one was not.
00:12:16Set up to perfectly move along and shift with the planet's slow rotation to make it so it
00:12:20would always remain in the dark, but still would provide enough heat for survival.
00:12:24This was the planet that the vampires had chosen to call home.
00:12:26It wasn't a very large planet, and most of the place was unpopulated, but in one section
00:12:31there were signs of civilization as life could be seen.
00:12:34Buildings created from a black hard substance crafted in a jagged style, but signs of modern
00:12:38technology could also be seen in use.
00:12:41As lights lit up the streets with a lukewarm glow, not too bright.
00:12:44Strangely, carriages would be used as a form of transportation, but there were no horses
00:12:48or animals to man them, as they were powered by a different source of energy.
00:12:52If one could look closer, they could see that everything was being powered by blue crystals,
00:12:56it was a mixture of old and new.
00:12:59The city was surrounded by what looked like a forest that went all around the outside
00:13:02of the buildings, and towards the back of it, a single, large mountain.
00:13:06In front of the mountain was a castle that was a quarter of the size of the mountain itself,
00:13:09it was grand in size and had a sleek design.
00:13:12Unlike the other buildings, this one was also made of the black material, but had been carefully
00:13:16carved out.
00:13:17Creating a perfect castle.
00:13:19Going around the large central castle, either side were 14 smaller castles.
00:13:23They equally looked impressive each bearing their own crest on a giant cloth at the front.
00:13:28However, two of these castles looked a little run down compared to the rest, and displayed
00:13:33no such crest.
00:13:34There was also no lights or fires lit.
00:13:37Showing no sign of inhabitants in the buildings, point one of the castle's family crests displayed
00:13:41a ring with six strings attached to it, pulling it from above.
00:13:44This was the Sanguinis family's castle.
00:13:46Inside on the bottom floor in their private training hall, a portal had suddenly appeared floating
00:13:50in the center of the room, point two guards dressed in black clothing with a gold trim
00:13:54going around it stood outside.
00:13:56Duh.
00:13:56They too, on their shoulders, bore the crest.
00:13:59They turned their heads looking into the room when noises could be heard from behind.
00:14:02A return portal has been activated.
00:14:04One of them said, go inform the lord of the knight's return.
00:14:07With that, one of them took off down the hallway.
00:14:09First to go arrive through the portal was Peter, although he didn't look like his usual self
00:14:13as he was disguised as Quinn.
00:14:14Both of his hands remained tied behind his back, but he was compliant.
00:14:18The one who followed after him was Fex and, eventually, Silver.
00:14:21The remaining guard immediately entered the room and got down on one knee in front of Silver.
00:14:25We welcome your return, young master and knight Silver.
00:14:29No need to be polite to him, Silver said.
00:14:31Remember, he is to be punished.
00:14:33Sorry, a habit, miss.
00:14:35T.O. remind everyone that Fex was indeed a criminal.
00:14:38She used her own red string, mixed with her blood abilities and wrapped up Fex's arms
00:14:42behind him as well to go inform the lord that we will be meeting him in the main room.
00:14:46Silver commanded, A.S. you wish.
00:14:47The man said as he lifted himself up and bowed down to Silver before rushing off again.
00:14:52Gosh, do they always have to be that uptight and formal.
00:14:54Am I right, sis?
00:14:56Fex said in an upbeat tone.
00:14:57Shut it, you.
00:14:58Silver replied.
00:14:59Do you know how much trouble you could have been in?
00:15:01The other families and King are unaware of the situation.
00:15:04We managed to keep it under wraps.
00:15:06I knew you would.
00:15:08Fex interrupted.
00:15:09Silver immediately glared at him back and decided to use even more string wrapping it around
00:15:13his mouth so he could no longer interrupt her much better.
00:15:16She said, Because of this, the punishment you will receive will be dealt with within
00:15:20the family.
00:15:21There is no need for the council to make a decision.
00:15:23Furthermore, we can use this illegal creator to pin the blame on one of the other families.
00:15:28Your father will be pleased and will lighten your punishment.
00:15:31Fex noticed that Silver had made the extra effort to call him your father.
00:15:35She never did call him farther herself and always referred to him as the leader or lord.
00:15:39I'm glad you bought me the right person.
00:15:41She continued.
00:15:42The truth was I had already found out who had created the illegal later on.
00:15:45If you were to bring me someone else I wouldn't know what to do.
00:15:48Fex was glad he knew his sister well.
00:15:50He knew she wouldn't have just stopped to look for the creator after finding out there
00:15:53was an illegal.
00:15:54This was why part of his plan was to make Peter look like Quinn just in case, and it
00:15:58seems like he was right.
00:15:59However, she was too trusting at times, as well.
00:16:02Her checks would only go so far, and she wouldn't dream to think.
00:16:04Fex would break the rules and lie to her.
00:16:07She had this naive thought that others upheld the rules as much as she did.
00:16:10Bringing in someone who was able to transform never crossed her mind.
00:16:14In most cases, he would never have gone this far for someone, but he had made a promise
00:16:18a short while later.
00:16:20The three of them were now in the main room.
00:16:22They all knelt down on the red rug, TH.
00:16:24At led up to a small staircase where a grand chair was centered.
00:16:27In the chair, the family leader, or vampire lord of the Sanguinis, Lee Sat.
00:16:32By his side, a middle-aged man with a small little goatee beard and pointy black hair,
00:16:37his second vampire knight, that held the same position as Silver.
00:16:40Silver had stood up to give a full report, explaining why the process had taken longer
00:16:44than she had thought, and explained the details clearly.
00:16:47Although she altered some trying to show her brother in the best light possible, saying
00:16:51how he had planned to come back sooner, until discovering the so-called illegal.
00:16:54She went even further stating, he had killed the illegal and brought back the vampire, the
00:16:58route cause of the problem all on his own.
00:17:01Noting she had next to near no involvement in the matter, hearing all of this, just made
00:17:04Fex feel bad.
00:17:06His dear sister was doing this all for him, so he could take all the glory while it was
00:17:09her hard work all along, and even worse, he had lied about it.
00:17:13This is excellent.
00:17:14Lee said with a smile.
00:17:15I can't believe one of the other families managed to screw up.
00:17:18Creating an illegal in a time like this.
00:17:20This will greatly cause disfavor to one of the families.
00:17:23Sin, call the council to have a meeting immediately.
00:17:26We need to find out who this scum belongs to, don't tell them why, but just say it's an
00:17:30important matter.
00:17:31Yes, my lord, Sill said as he bowed down and suddenly seemed to disappear in a cloud of
00:17:35smoke.
00:17:36My son, you have always been a troublemaker, and I have hated you for it.
00:17:40Sometimes I even thought you might not be right for this seed after my time, but you
00:17:44have made this family proud.
00:17:45Fex, I want you to come to the council meeting with me.
00:17:48I shall inform every one of your great feet, although his father sounded joyful and happy for
00:17:52this matter.
00:17:52This was making Fex extremely anxious.
00:17:54When returning, he had expected punishment, perhaps for Peter to be dealt with before
00:17:59going to the council.
00:18:00Of course, there was always the chance it would still go to the council, but now his father
00:18:04wanted to praise his actions in front of him.
00:18:06Once they found out the truth, how the vampire that broke the laws is still out there, and
00:18:10Fex had returned with the actual illegal, the whole family would be embarrassed and ashamed.
00:18:15Should I just tell the truth now?
00:18:16Fex thought that way.
00:18:18It would save his family from being embarrassed, but he couldn't.
00:18:20If he was to reveal the information now, there was a chance that only his family would continue
00:18:24to keep this under wraps and send out vampires immediately.
00:18:27If the whole council was to find out, then it would at least buy Quinn more time.
00:18:31The council had always been cautious when making decisions involving the human world.
00:18:35Am I not to be punished for my actions?
00:18:37I went to the human world without permission.
00:18:39Fex tried to plead, nonsense, we can say I set you there after our team discovered something
00:18:43suspicious, Lee said, but...
00:18:45Silver who was kneeling beside Fex tugged on his sleeve, just take it brother, I...
00:18:50suspected this might happen.
00:18:52Although your actions were wrong, you should accept this, you know what the lord is like.
00:18:55She whispered, just then, a smoke of mist reappeared, and by Lee's side, Sin had returned.
00:19:01The council has agreed to your meeting, as you wished my lord.
00:19:04Excellent, Lee said with a smile.
00:19:06While Fex continued to look down on the ground, hiding the horror showing on his face.
00:19:10Chapter 354.
00:19:12The Council Meeting.
00:19:13When a meeting between the vampire council members would be called, all of the 13 leaders
00:19:17from Thier Castles would have to go and travel to the main castle.
00:19:21The main castle was where the current vampire king or queen resided.
00:19:24Inside, near the top floor, but not quite at the very top was the meeting room.
00:19:28Once a month, the leaders would meet up to discuss current matters or affairs.
00:19:32Outside of the regular meetings, an emergency meeting could be called as well.
00:19:35Only if there was something that needed to be reported to everyone would they meet up.
00:19:39On this very day, a meeting had been called.
00:19:41This was the second emergency meeting that had been called within such a short time frame,
00:19:45and the tensions were high.
00:19:47Inside the room, there were 13 chairs equal in size spread across the table.
00:19:51Behind each seat of flame which burnt bright and strong.
00:19:54Currently, all of the chairs were filled with Thier leaders and one of their vampire knights
00:19:58by Thier side.
00:19:59All of them apart from one.
00:20:01The 10th seat.
00:20:02Most of the room was dominated by men most looked old while a couple looked young,
00:20:05but it was impossible to tell the real age of any.
00:20:08Two of the seats were filled with female leaders as well.
00:20:11Besides these 13 chairs at either end of the table, Thier were two larger chairs.
00:20:15One chair slightly bigger than the other.
00:20:17At this moment both of these chairs were empty as well.
00:20:19Sitting at the first chair near the top of the table was the first leader,
00:20:22an older gentleman than the rest.
00:20:24Vampires at the lord level often had great control over Thier bodies.
00:20:27They could choose when to slow down Thier aging process.
00:20:31Most of the table had chosen to keep Thier appearance of that of slightly older middle-aged
00:20:35men.
00:20:35Yet for some reason the first leader preferred an aged look.
00:20:38He was bald up top, but his facial hair was heavy around his face going down to his collarbone.
00:20:43All white in color.
00:20:44Other than these, the forehead that seemed to always be in a prominent V-shape were his
00:20:48most distinctive features.
00:20:50On top of this, the old man would never seem to leave without his trendy black slim walking
00:20:54stick by his side.
00:20:55However, he never used the walking stick to walk, but kept it by his side as if his life
00:20:59depended on it.
00:21:00When the king wasn't present, it was his duty to be in charge.
00:21:04He still only had equal power as the rest of the Thirteen, but in order for things to proceed
00:21:08more smoothly, the first leader was placed with his position.
00:21:11The others didn't mind this, as the first leader was the oldest and seemed to be the
00:21:15most knowledgeable out of the rest.
00:21:16Once everyone was seated, he banged his walking stick three times across the floor to signal
00:21:21the meeting would begin, and the room fell silent.
00:21:23I, Bryce Kane, leader of the first seat, will now begin this meeting.
00:21:27This meeting has been called by the Thirteenth-seat leader of the Sanguinis family, Lee.
00:21:31The old man said,
00:21:32I hope you all know that the king is still resting, and will not be attending this meeting.
00:21:36Unless a matter cannot be agreed upon, there will be no need to call him.
00:21:40Now please, Lee, explain to us why this meeting was called.
00:21:43Rather than explain this matter, I would like to bring them in, if I may, Lee asked, to which
00:21:47Bryce responded with a nod. The doors to the room opened, and in came, Silver, Fex, and
00:21:52Peter, who is now officially in a black set of handcuffs. They seemed to be made form the
00:21:56same material as the buildings. While they walked into the room, Lee tried to look at
00:22:00the other leaders to see if there was a reaction from one of them. HM, they all have pretty
00:22:04good poker faces, maybe they don't know what he has committed. With no reaction, Lee had
00:22:08no choice but to continue.
00:22:09Recently I was tipped off from our agents that there was something strange going on at
00:22:12Earth. As you all know, my son Fex is young, and was soon to have a ceremony to
00:22:17turn into a vampire noble. I thought this would be a good opportunity to send him out
00:22:21on the field. In case there were any mistakes, Silver was sent out after him as well. When
00:22:25they arrived at Thier location, Fex my son seemed to have discovered a white. You should
00:22:29all know where this is going. Other than vampires part of the part A category, all subclasses
00:22:34are to remain here. Which means, an illegal was created. My son has successfully captured
00:22:39the illegal. Lee said, pointing at Peter. The others looked at Peter carefully, it was clear
00:22:44he was a vampire and a young one at that. Youngsters, when being turned, would rarely ever turn straight
00:22:49into vampires for they didn't have the power. So, he must have belonged to one of the twelve
00:22:53there they thought, but when Bryce looked at him closer, he felt strange. Even though this
00:22:58was a serious matter, it was clear that the vampire boy was unafraid. You all know why this
00:23:03is a serious matter. First off, it wasn't reported. Even if a leader created a vampire in our current
00:23:08situation, they should report it immediately. Every family is allowed a maximum of 1500 members,
00:23:13and last time I checked, every family, is at its maximum amount. If this vampire was creating
00:23:18illegals, who knows they could even be creating more and perhaps planning another uprising.
00:23:23After Lee had said this, the twelve leaders started to mumble amongst themselves,
00:23:26A.N. uprising again. This would be a serious matter, indeed. One leader said,
00:23:32The family who has allowed this vampire to be unruly must be punished. Another said clack
00:23:36calxia once again, Bryce banged his walking stick on the ground three times, bringing order to the
00:23:41room. Weed her, or not it's a serious matter, is undecided.
00:23:45Edition. Do not speak so freely about an uprising. An investigation shall be made into the family
00:23:50that this vampire belongs to. It might just be a stray that has done its own thing, but just to
00:23:54be sure we shall check thoroughly. Now to save us all time, does anyone care to admit who this vampire
00:24:00in the room belongs to? If you have nothing to hide, then only the vampire shall be punished.
00:24:05The leaders started to look up and down the table, waiting for one person to be called out.
00:24:08The leaders didn't remember every vampire member in their family, and they didn't have a connection
00:24:13with all of them. In the families, about 50 of them would be connected to the actual leader in
00:24:18some way, and learn the family's unique ability. While the rest of the vampires would simply work
00:24:22for the families, the reason why Bryce had made the suggestion was from the feeling he was getting,
00:24:26he could tell that the vampire was quite a strong one for being so young. It made him believe that
00:24:31the vampire had to be close to the leaders, and if so, even if they didn't know what he looked
00:24:35like, they would have felt a connection being this close to him right now. Damn it, you fools!
00:24:40Lee said in anger. This is a serious matter, and you are only wasting our time. It is as Lee said.
00:24:46Very well, there is one way to find out, bring the boy to me. Bryce said, and Silver brought Peter
00:24:50along with her, directly to the first seat, allowing Peter to stand opposite the old man.
00:24:55Fex watching this knew precisely what the old man planned to do.
00:24:58IT won't work. Fex thought, the old man looked into Peter's eyes,
00:25:02and has started to glow. Tell us, which family do you belong to?
00:25:05Everyone in the room was sat at the edge of fear's seats, waiting for an answer,
00:25:09but after a few moments, there was nothing. Peter didn't reply, and remained silent.
00:25:13Bryce tried again in case something was wrong. He looked into his eyes and said the same words,
00:25:18tell us, it's an order of the council. Which family do you belong to?
00:25:21He shouted, getting frustrated, but Peter didn't flinch, nor did he reply.
00:25:26But how is this possible? One of the leaders said,
00:25:28mumbling between them all began and started again, and the only one in the room who knew
00:25:32the answer was Fex. What the first leader attempted to do, was use his charm skills to
00:25:36force the information out of him. One's power would have to be far greater for this to work,
00:25:41and usually, it would work against a vampire that hadn't even reached the noble level.
00:25:45Which was why everyone was so shocked, but Peter wasn't a vampire, he was a white and undead.
00:25:50Mind control, sleeping, paralysis, all these things didn't work on an undead.
00:25:54The only one that would be able to force information out of him, was his creator.
00:25:57However, to Bryce this only angered him further. There were a few methods to block this mind
00:26:03control from working, and only another leader would know such a method. In his mind, it was
00:26:07clear that someone was trying to hide this information, and to do this and go this far,
00:26:11they would have had. A direct connection with the family, fine. Everyone, we shall gather
00:26:16downstairs in one of the training halls. If I can't force the information out of you,
00:26:20then we shall beat it out of you. I'm warning you now, when I find out who this vampire belongs
00:26:24to they shall be in serious trouble. Chapter 355. A Punching Bag. The council members had
00:26:30done, as the first leader asked. They had moved from the meeting room, down to one of the training
00:26:34rooms below. When they had entered, a lesson was currently taking place. The hall was enormous,
00:26:39but plain inside. There was no equipment apart from the wooden flooring, and the only thing that
00:26:44could be seen was a group of teenage students receiving instructions from a teacher up front.
00:26:48All the students seemed to be dressed in the same type of clothing, black standard uniform with red trim
00:26:52around the rim of the design. While the teacher wore what looked like an overly large overcoat.
00:26:57He too had a different color trim around his clothes, and also the same crest as the first
00:27:01leader wore. A.S. the leaders entered the room. The teacher, who was taking the lesson,
00:27:05eyes widened. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. Students quickly bowed down to the leaders.
00:27:11He said urgently. The group of around 50 or so students immediately turned and bowed down when all
00:27:15the leaders entered. I.T. was rare to see all the leaders together unless they were to meet the king,
00:27:19or a meeting was about to take place. He was unaware of such a thing happening.
00:27:24Oh, that's right. I forgot about the current tour being organized in the main castle,
00:27:28Bryce said to himself. I hope you don't mind, Phil. Not at all, Phil, the teacher said.
00:27:33It's an honor to even be in your presence. In chorus, all the students repeated what the
00:27:38teacher had said, keeping the exact phrase at the same time. It is an honor to be in your presence.
00:27:42When Peter entered the room with fex and silver, he was surprised to see how similar it seemed to the
00:27:47military academy. The only difference was it appeared like they had more respect for the
00:27:51leaders and everything was a lot more organized. Rather than them being compliant and obedient
00:27:56through fear, Peter could tell even just by looking at the vampires that they were obedient through
00:28:00respect. All students were now sitting on one side of the room. Their teacher was in the front row,
00:28:05while the leaders were all lined up at the other side. The students were nervous just by looking at
00:28:10the leaders. Some were already part of a family due to their close connections, while others,
00:28:15although they might be under the same banner, wanted to prove their worth. In order to get a
00:28:19higher position in the family, the vampires who weren't directly linked to a family were referred
00:28:23to as the pool. Once a year, vampires would be able to move between families that they were
00:28:27currently registered in, and the students would be able to select which families they wanted to join.
00:28:32Similar to how seasons worked in sports, of course, spaces were limited to each family. As there
00:28:37were only a total of 1,500 spaces per family on a year-to-year basis, this number would increase,
00:28:42based on a few factors, such as whether or not the city could handle an increase of vampires that
00:28:47year. If so, then the allocation number would increase. But that time had already passed, and all the
00:28:52current vampires had been registered, setting the number at 1,500 per family. Out of this number,
00:28:5850 of those in the family would have a direct connection with the leader in some way. An
00:29:01additional 100 of those would know the family's ability, while the rest would just be simple
00:29:05soldiers in the pool. For those that knew or were to learn the family's ability, they would bear
00:29:09the family's crest on their uniform. All of this meant there weren't many students who attended
00:29:13school in the first place, but the vampires always focused on quality rather than quantity.
00:29:18Bryce stood in the center of the training hall with a stick in his hand while Peter was still
00:29:21chained up by his side. This is your last chance to fess up. When Bryce said this, he was talking to
00:29:26the leaders, but Fex felt as if the words were being directed at him. Fine, Phil. Select your best
00:29:31student out of this bunch, Bryce said. That would be Xander, my lord. Phil shouted in confidence.
00:29:35Xander immediately stood up. Most of the vampires there were handsome or beautiful,
00:29:40but even he seemed like a pretty boy compared to the rest, his brown hair curled on both sides and
00:29:45having a body frame of a top athlete. Come here, boy, Bryce said, noticing that he too had the same
00:29:50crest as his. Seeing the crest meant he was one of the hundred selected to be in the family and
00:29:55thought there must have been a reason for him to be selected. Xander had reached the center and stood on
00:29:59one side, while Peter stood on the opposite. Then by using his hands, Bryce moved both of them to face
00:30:04each other. Have you learned the family's ability yet? Bryce asked. Not yet, sir. Xander replied,
00:30:10good. Maybe this match will be a little entertaining. I shall get these two to fight. It will be good
00:30:15for us to see where the current generation are. You're going to make me fight with these, Peter
00:30:19said as he lifted his hands. But suddenly, a loud thud was heard. When looking at what had caused the
00:30:24sound, the black cuffs that were on him had already hit the floor. In the center of them, it looked like
00:30:29they'd been cut. I didn't even see when it happened. Peter thought. These leaders are strong, even
00:30:34stronger for Quinn. Bryce was telling the truth when he said he wanted to see the students' current
00:30:38fighting level. There had been reports that they were the worst and weakest generation the vampires
00:30:42had so far, but that wasn't his main reason. His idea was allowing Peter to fight there. There were
00:30:48two chances he could find out which family he belonged to. When people were desperate and felt like their life
00:30:52was in danger, even vampires fought with everything they had, and in doing so, he was hoping the
00:30:57captive well. Do you reveal their ability? The second reason was if his life was in danger.
00:31:02The connection between the leader and the vampire would be felt. Bryce's gut was telling him this
00:31:06wasn't just a regular vampire. Fex didn't even know what to say or do at this point. The only thing he
00:31:11could do was let things play out. Bryce went back to join the other leaders, hoping he could get a
00:31:15closer look if one of them were to react. Begin. Phil shouted, and Xander immediately charged forward.
00:31:21From the get-go, they could see him spring to action. And oh wonder he's the top student. One of the
00:31:26leaders said, uh, my Fex is still faster than him. Lee started to brag, but of course, that would be
00:31:31the case. Fex had acquired special training, due to him being a son of the leader. He didn't exactly
00:31:36attend normal classes. Even when he did, he never felt like he fitted in any way. Peter, seeing this,
00:31:42stood still. The others thought Xander was simply moving too fast for him to react, but that wasn't
00:31:46the case at all. As Xander approached him, using all of his strength, he threw his fist right into
00:31:51Peter's face. The blow was hard and blood splattered from his mouth across the floor.
00:31:55However, his body hadn't moved a single step from the powerful blow. As Peter turned his head back
00:32:00to look at Xander, he started to place his hand on his jaw that seemed to be shattered, but was
00:32:04already healing. Well, that hurt a bit, Peter said. This was an unusual feeling for him, but this was
00:32:10because he still had the blood of Quinn running through his body, powering him, causing him to feel
00:32:14alive. Xander was slightly stunned. A blow like that would have knocked most people out, or at least sent them
00:32:20back a few feet. Still, he regained his composure, and started to punch away at Peter's stomach.
00:32:26The speed was amazing, and punch after punch was being delivered. The power was so strong that Peter
00:32:31had been lifted off his feet, but the punches continued, not allowing him to fall to the floor.
00:32:35They carried on moving him slightly back towards the edge of the room.
00:32:38I thought you said we were meant to watch a show of skill. Not a beating. One leader shouted out,
00:32:43I thought the kid had something in him. His eyes said he was different. Another replied,
00:32:47Oh no, the blood. Fett spenicked. The more Peter was getting hit, the more of Quinn's blood was being
00:32:52spilt. The aura and smell surrounding Peter would soon weaken to the point where they would find out
00:32:57who he really was, but Fex wasn't the only one who could tell what was happening, Peter too. The
00:33:01blood flowing through him was not only being spilt, but was also being used to heal his wounds.
00:33:05He felt the power draining from his body fast. Another punch was delivered to his body,
00:33:09and his back was now up against the walled. You're done, Xander said, throwing out both of his fists at the
00:33:15same time with more power than before. Bryce carefully looked around to try to look and see
00:33:19if any of the leaders had any type of reaction, but there was none. When he turned his head back
00:33:23around again, he waw. S surprised to see the fight wasn't over. I am not your punching bag,
00:33:28Peter said as he balled his fists. Using all of his strength, he gripped as hard as he could,
00:33:33shattering both of Xander's fists, pulling him forward, and using that moment, he gave a thick boot to his
00:33:38face. A few seconds later, Xander fell to the floor. Chapter 356. Working together?
00:33:43As soon as Xander's body had hit the floor, Phil, the teacher stood up from the floor and placed
00:33:49both of his hands over his head. The two kids looked around the same age, and Phil was overly
00:33:53confident that his students would succeed. Yet, somehow, this unknown kid had the strength to
00:33:58overpower his best student with just two moves. Usually, a fight between any student vampires would
00:34:03be close, even with a skill gap. But this fight was different. It was as if they were watching
00:34:08completely different classes of vampires going against each other. Only a vampire Nobel would be able to do
00:34:12such a thing. Well, maybe this will be interesting, after all. A female leader said with a smile.
00:34:18She quickly licked her lips as if Peter was looking like a delicious piece of meat. However, a few
00:34:22moments later, Xander had stood up from the floor and took another fighting stance. His face was covered
00:34:28in blood that had been gushing from his nose and was now all over his school uniform. Yes, Xander,
00:34:33stop messing around and kick him. Bite him. Do whatever you can. Phil screamed as he was starting to get
00:34:38overly excited. If his top student lost here, perhaps his family position as a teacher would
00:34:43be jeopardized. Peter, on the other hand, had found a new will to fight. The more blood he would lose,
00:34:49the quicker he would be discovered. As he got injured too much as well, it was harder for him
00:34:53to control his MC cells, which would eventually lead to his transformation giving and he would do
00:34:57anything to last a second longer. After seeing how strong just one of the leaders were, Peter wanted to
00:35:02do anything, any minute, or second to delay them from going after him. Xander, this time moved in
00:35:07again, not as fast as before due to him being cautious now. Rather than throwing out his punches
00:35:12in rapid succession, he was carefully placed each one directly, but Peter, for the first time in a
00:35:16long time, was using his hands, legs, and speed to block and avoid each one of the strikes. Usually,
00:35:22Peter's fighting style was not to care if he got hurt, for his body would heal after, but this was
00:35:25different. He's toying with the poor kid. A leader said, you're right, Bryce replied. The other person
00:35:30can't even touch him, but there's no doubt about it. He's a vampire though, and not a noble one.
00:35:35If one is this strong, he has to be deeply connected to a family. We need someone to push him,
00:35:40someone to push him to the end. Come on, hit me! Xander shouted, getting frustrated that none of
00:35:46his attacks seemed to be working. He now went into desperation mode, and started to use some of his
00:35:50blood skills. He performed blood swipes, but if one couldn't hit someone with their fist, it would
00:35:55equally be useless to try to use the blood abilities unless they had a skill that slowed Peter down.
00:35:59Other than that, there seemed to be no way for Xander to win this fight. Peter, however,
00:36:04had decided that he would not strike back his reason, delaying the fight. After a while,
00:36:08the others noticed this too, and eventually clack clack, said enough, this match is over,
00:36:13Bryce said. No one can learn anything from this fight anymore. While Xander went back to tend to
00:36:17his injuries, Bryce was thinking about what to do. Of course, he could beat the kid himself,
00:36:22but that would be too simple, Bryce. Lee interrupted. May I suggest if you could let my son be the
00:36:27one to face him. I believe we will all be able to learn something then, and after all,
00:36:31he was the one who brought him in. This would be a great way for the 13th family to show their strength,
00:36:36and have a one-up on the first family. However, Bryce couldn't turn down such a reasonable and
00:36:40sensible request in front of the other leaders. That does make sense, fine, I agree. Go ahead,
00:36:45young boy. Even though Fex had been called to the stage, he didn't move from a spot. His father was
00:36:49constantly calling out his name, but his mind was deep in thought. He was trying his best to come up
00:36:54with a solution to get out of this, until his sister gave him a small slap on the back of the
00:36:58head from behind. As he went to turn around to complain, he could hear his name being called
00:37:02out by his father. Fex, what's the matter with you? Said Lee. Go up onto the stage and fight the boy.
00:37:07Everyone is waiting. Huh? Me? Fight him? Fex said, having not heard what the others were talking
00:37:13about before. Get up there now. Lee shouted, and in an instant, Fex was walking to the center.
00:37:18I think it's not the sake of this. Should I fight at full strength? The others will know if I try to pull
00:37:23anything, and sooner or later, Peter will be found out anyway, right? There was no more time to think,
00:37:28as the two were now standing opposite each other, with sweat running down his face.
00:37:32Phil shouted, begin. This time, the first one to react was Peter. He charged in and threw a punch.
00:37:38On reflex, Fex reacted, moving to the side. Peter's body was now wide open for the perfect punch,
00:37:44but Fex didn't take it and instead jumped back. Seems like your boy is a little scaredy cat.
00:37:48The leader said, trying to anger Lee. Just you watch. Lee said, charging in again,
00:37:53Peter threw another punch, swinging wide and missing. There was another perfect opportunity
00:37:57for Fex, and knowing the others were watching, he decided to attack. I have, I have to use my full
00:38:03power, otherwise, the others will know. The punch landed directly on Peter's ribcage,
00:38:08but instead of a face full of pain, a smile appeared on Peter's face, as he fell to the floor.
00:38:12I have to, I'm sorry, Peter. Fex said as he charged in again.
00:38:16I enough. Bryce shouted. Immediately, Fex stopped, confused. What was happening? Why had they stopped
00:38:22the fight? But all of the leaders, even his bath, er, and sister, looked horrified. Not enough blood
00:38:28has been spilt, right? So they couldn't have found Peter out yet. Tell me now, are you two working
00:38:33together? Bryce questioned them. Of course we. Think before you answer. Bryce said in a demanding
00:38:38straight tone. Something had obviously happened in the fight that not even Fex had noticed,
00:38:42to make the two of them suspicious. It's clear to all of us here. Not just you. But both of you
00:38:47were pulling your power. We can gather an idea of his strength from the last fight, but it was too
00:38:52obvious. The student's demeanor completely changed when fighting you, and even you this whole time,
00:38:57seemed to be shocked. Even now, your body is shaking. Bryce said, using his cane to point at Fex's legs.
00:39:03When he looked down, his legs were indeed shaking, and he hadn't even noticed. Have I been like this
00:39:08the whole time? It seemed like Fex really couldn't keep A-L-I-E-D-S-O, are the 13th family behind it
00:39:13after all. But then why would they call the meeting? The other leaders started to come up with crazy
00:39:18theories of what was happening right now, which began to frustrate not only Lee but Silver as well.
00:39:22This is ridiculous. I'll prove to your family that my brother is innocent. Silver said as she walked
00:39:27onto the stage towards Peter. Carefully, Peter kept an eye on Silver. He knew he had no chance against
00:39:32the leaders. But what about her? He still could turn those that he killed into whites as well.
00:39:36There might be a chance he could do something with her later if that were the case.
00:39:39He saw her lifting her foot slightly, and the next thing he knew, his whole body was flying
00:39:44through the air. Just like the leader's attack, he couldn't tell where Silver's attack had come
00:39:48from either. His neck had been twisted as his body laid on the floor, but this wasn't enough to kill
00:39:52a white. Getting up off the ground, his head started to heal and twist back. However, now everyone could
00:39:58see that the face that was previously on him was no more than, oh, that's the... Silver was about to say
00:40:03something but kept her mouth shut. Still, Bryce already knew. It's a white. Now it makes sense
00:40:08why my skills didn't work earlier. You tricked us. The blood that resides in his body is no longer
00:40:14strong. Now, unlike the others, I don't believe that Lee would have called a meeting if he indeed
00:40:18was in charge of this vampire, and Silver, and Fex, just now would have been unable to hit him.
00:40:23This means the vampire belongs to another family, but the question is, did Fex really betray us or not?
00:40:28Luckily, there's an easy way to find out. Bryce's eyes started to glow as he took a step forward.
00:40:33Fex knew that he planned to do what he had tried doing to Peter, only it would work on him. Stop.
00:40:38Lee said with his hand out, blocking his Bryce from moving forward. I believe in my son. He would
00:40:43never betray the family, although he is a troublemaker at times. Once he makes a promise,
00:40:47he will keep it. He would never willingly bring harm to the family. If anyone is going to find out the
00:40:52truth, then it will. Be me. His father started to walk up to Fex, ready to use his influence skill.
00:40:58As the family leader, it would work even better if Bryce was to use it, but the words his father
00:41:02spoke were unexpected. He never knew his father thought of him this way, his whole life. While
00:41:07growing up, he had been called an idiot, a troubled child. Yet, now his father thought so highly of
00:41:12him, he couldn't allow his family to face any further embarrassment. Father, please. I admit it,
00:41:17there is no need. I tried to trick you all, and I admit my wrongs. His father immediately stopped in
00:41:22his footsteps and could no longer look at his son, anger, sadness, or disappointment. He didn't know
00:41:27what he felt right now. Well, that decides it. Fex Sanguinis shall be brought in for questioning.
00:41:32The other vampire will be kept in captivity until we find out which family he belongs to. And I
00:41:37shouldn't have to add that, but have to remind you that Fex has committed a serious crime.
00:41:41A trial between the leaders shall be conducted, where the decision and fate of Fex shall be decided.
00:41:46Bryce adjourned the meeting. Chapter 357. The Vampire Trial. The interrogation process had begun,
00:41:52and there was no need for the vampires to use their influence powers on Fex. Due to Fex's unique
00:41:57position and the strange circumstances, he was first kept in confinement at the castle to be
00:42:01watched over, and then would be moved at a later time. This was because the others still did not
00:42:06know that Fex had actually snuck out instead. Instead, they stuck with the story of Fex having
00:42:10being ordered. If they had known the truth, they would have never allowed this as an option.
00:42:14While in confinement, there were several guards, not just of the Sanguinis family,
00:42:18but also of the other families. They would stay just outside of his room at all times,
00:42:22making sure he didn't escape. He had come clean about what he had done,
00:42:25and Silver was there to confirm and fill in the details. The method he had used to trick her and
00:42:30the others, and even Silver got a small scolding from her father for not thoroughly checking.
00:42:34More questions were asked, but ultimately they were only concerned about what family the white had
00:42:38come from, I, and the end. The only information they could get from him regarding this was that he
00:42:42didn't know what family the vampire that created the white belonged to, inside the first room,
00:42:46inside his own castle, was the leader Bryce and the second leader Harold.
00:42:51Theater rooms had a Victorian decor to them, and on the back wall up against the bed was the family
00:42:55crest. Several paintings were also displayed on the wall of the previous leaders. The two of them
00:43:00were sat opposite each other on a sofa. When looking at them, the second leader, Harold,
00:43:04although sitting towered in size compared to the first. He was a tall man, he was far taller than any
00:43:09of the other vampires, but he was also incredibly thin. His appearance would often remind people of a
00:43:14stick insect or a large tree. He had entered the first room to deliver all the information,
00:43:19and that had been gathered from facts. What do you think? The reports say they used the influence
00:43:24skill to get these answers from him, but I don't believe them. Other reports also state that Lee
00:43:29hasn't even been to see his son since they found out. Harold explained, Bryce continually tapped his
00:43:34cane on top of his bald head as he thought until he stopped to give his answer. I think the boy is
00:43:37telling the truth, and the way they are acting confirms that the family had no involvement in the boy's
00:43:42actions. They could be acting, but we have all known Lee for the longest time. He works on pure emotion,
00:43:47and he would never think past being caught. The problem is the white. Its power depends on its
00:43:52creator power, and if they used the blood of the creator, we all were it in that room. For a vampire,
00:43:57he must be strong. When Silver went to kick the white, I looked carefully to see if anyone flinched
00:44:02to try to protect it, but no one did, of course. It could be something as simple as that the vampire
00:44:06isn't closely connected to the families at all. But I find it hard to believe that one so strong
00:44:11slipped through everyone's fingers during the pool process. What if the vampire wasn't from here?
00:44:16What do you mean like an earth agent we have them all accounted for, and you know they belong to a
00:44:19mix of families? I doubt that if they did know they all would have kept their mouths shut.
00:44:23Harold replied, exactly, do you remember the tent seat? The fire has been lit, and maybe,
00:44:28whoever he passed his powers onto, is trying to regrow their powers again. If so, we need to plan our
00:44:33next move carefully. After a few days of confinement, they had eventually made the decision that
00:44:37Fex should be treated like every other criminal that would be in the same situation. He should
00:44:41be placed in the underground dungeon, behind bars with Peter, until his trial was to take place.
00:44:47They explained that they had given special treatment, out of respect for Lee. However,
00:44:51Leiden tried to object and allowed the decision to move forward. I and the underground seller,
00:44:55not a single person had gone to meet Fex so far. That was until his dear sister had arrived.
00:44:59Why? Why? Did you do it? Why did you do it, brother? Silver eventually managed to say,
00:45:04but it was hard for her to get the words out, sis. Fex said as he walked towards the bars and looked
00:45:09at his sister's face. Usually, she carried an expressionless look. A look of iron while walking
00:45:15around the castle. But this face he was seeing now, he had only seen a few times when they were
00:45:19younger. Please don't be sad, sis. I'm an idiot you know I am. I never followed the rules, and this
00:45:24time I just went one too far. Lies, Silver said as she banged her hand against the black bars.
00:45:30You would never hurt the family. You were meant to be the next leader.
00:45:33It was a role that never suited me in the first place. It always suited you,
00:45:37but our family states our leader can never be a woman. I mean, what a load of crap is that?
00:45:42If I was to become the leader, the first thing I would do is get rid of that role.
00:45:46He realized he was starting to trail off. It was always his way of dealing with things,
00:45:50never confronting the situation at hand. He could see that she was clearly hurt,
00:45:54and she deserved to know the reason why. He was done joking around.
00:45:57Did father ask you to come here? Fex asked, and oh, he hasn't said a word about you to anyone.
00:46:02The only reason I was able to come to see her right now is that the council have a trial where
00:46:06a decision will be made. Fex went back to sit on his bed. He couldn't look at his sister's face any
00:46:11longer, and it was only crushing him more as he looked at her. He then started to think back
00:46:15why he even did everything he had done in the first place. I made a promise to him. At first,
00:46:20when I discovered he was a vampire, I really was going to turn him into you guys when you came to
00:46:24get me. But during the time we were together, he treated me differently, perhaps differently is not
00:46:28the right word. Even at school here, everyone knew me as the heir to the 13th seat. I got better
00:46:33treatment than everyone else during school. I scored higher on the exams. Sounds great, right?
00:46:38But in reality, it was a really lonely life. I had no friends, our father was always busy,
00:46:44and I only had you to annoy. The only thing that got me through school at the time was our
00:46:47grandfather's stories about the earth. It gave me hope, a dream to work towards and power through
00:46:52everything knowing it would all be okay. When I got there, I realized it wasn't the items or the
00:46:56landscape that was different, but it was the people. There was a lot that acted and thought
00:46:59a lot like vampires, but there was a group of people who thought differently. They thought their
00:47:03own way, and the vampire who was part of the group treated me the same as everyone else.
00:47:08He saved my life, and in more ways than one. After that, we became blood brothers. My blood with his
00:47:14blood. No matter what we had a bond, and I would do anything not to give him in. The heavy burden that
00:47:19was on Silver's heart seemed to lift. He didn't betray the family, for some petty reason. He had made a
00:47:24deep promise, and his principles made him keep to that. She understood now and didn't hate him for
00:47:29his decision, but being blood brothers was a serious thing to promise. Even if one was a part of the
00:47:34family, it meant they would treat them like family. Who is this vampire? Silver asked. And I know you
00:47:39don't know what family he belongs to, but who is he to cause you to go that far? Vex thought about it
00:47:44for a while before giving an answer. It was a difficult question for him. He's a person who I truly think
00:47:48will be able to change the vampire world one day. Vex mumbled out, but Silver was able to hear it still.
00:47:53She couldn't help but chuckle. The vampires had stayed the same for thousands of years,
00:47:57and one person was meant to change that who she had never heard or seen before.
00:48:01I see you're laughing. Let me ask you, have you ever seen a regular vampire defeat a king-tier
00:48:06beast on its own beefo? Re. And have ever seen a vampire who wasn't at the Nobel-level pro-form
00:48:12skills beyond? On top of that, all this strength seemed to be obtained in a matter of months.
00:48:17Suddenly, Silver wasn't laughing anymore as she realized what Vex was saying, but it couldn't be
00:48:21possible, right? At the same time, Vex had no reason to lie. He, learned skills that took me
00:48:27years to perfect in a day, and originally, I was far stronger than him, but now I would be scared
00:48:31to even fight him. His growth in strength is at a monstrous level, and I imagine he's only sped it
00:48:36up even more. I can't wait to see what the others will do when they see him. Vex said with a smile on
00:48:41his face, but these last words, Silver worried. Inside the meeting room, the council had just
00:48:46finished their meeting, and a decision had been made. Bryce stood up to give his final
00:48:50announcements to everyone. So, it's decided. The white, known as Peter, shall be kept in the dungeon,
00:48:55until we find out which family he belongs to. Since this is our only lead at the moment,
00:49:00A.S. for Feck Sanguinis, he shall be punished for his crimes. We have found that his actions are of his
00:49:04own doing, and has nothing to do with the relation of the 13th family. So they shall not be dragged into
00:49:09this mess, and their name dragged through the mud. His status as a member of one of the 13 shall be
00:49:14stripped, meaning he no longer belongs to any of the 13 families. However, as a non-member of any of
00:49:20the 13 families, he can receive the standard punishment for these types of crimes. The date
00:49:24has been decided, and Fex will be punished, by death. Chapter 358. Becoming a Numbered. In an unknown
00:49:30metallic large room, sitting at a table, where four people. On the back of the seats, each one was
00:49:36numbered, going from two to four. An empty chair with the number one was at the table as well. This was a
00:49:41meeting between the founders of Pure, the top-ranked in the whole base. Number two, a black muscle male
00:49:46with sunglasses covering his eyes, was the meeting organizer today, and was there to inform everyone
00:49:51of some important news. The tip-off to the true dream family was a success. It seems they are
00:49:55gathering their men, and are planning an attack soon. Number two said, huh, I can't believe he
00:50:00really fell for it. What a rash idiot. Why would he even think about going up against the blades?
00:50:05Number three, another male replied. Well, it's to be expected. Number five, an old,
00:50:10middle-aged female, said. True dream is new when it comes to not only his powers, but also the big
00:50:15four. As he has close relations with the military, the others probably didn't want to reveal too much
00:50:19information to him. The way I see it is, there are two outcomes to this event. Either the true dream
00:50:24family will no longer exist, or the true dream family lose the war, with a chunk of the blade's
00:50:29power taken away. So, you think there is no chance of true dream winning this war either then?
00:50:34Number two said with a sigh. We shall be keeping a close eye on this fight. Suppose true dream manages
00:50:39T. O caused significant damage to the blades. It might be our chance to move in. If the true
00:50:44dreams are eliminated, then the whole landscape of the current system might change. Isn't it the
00:50:49point though? Number four replied. She was a female with ponytails. One side of her hair was pink while
00:50:55the other was green, and in her hand a lollipop that she had taken out while speaking. I mean,
00:50:59the blades are doing our job for us. Maybe. Number two replied. But I think it's too soon.
00:51:05We never plan to kill true dream but use him. He could be our answer to taking everyone's powers
00:51:10away, but with him dead, or the power into the blade's hand, it might not be for the best of
00:51:15the human race. Clash. Whack. Whoosh. The sound of swords and weapons rattling against each other
00:51:20was heard throughout the hall. Observing all of them was Agent 15, James. He always had his large
00:51:26rusty sword on his back, where the guard was as wide as his shoulders. Whenever one would look at the
00:51:31weapon, they could only imagine what beast he needed to defeat to obtain such a grand thing.
00:51:35Although his eyes should have been looking at all the sparring sessions going on, he was focused on
00:51:39a particular individual who hadn't been at the base for too long, Aaron. Aaron carried her long
00:51:44sword with a blue base and hilt, while her opponent, a short-haired male with glasses, used two small
00:51:49dual blades that were slightly curved. The two of them were sweating and had been going at it for a
00:51:53while now. For the last few days, they had sparred with each other without a winner being chosen.
00:51:57Usually, one would spar with their practice partner, and after he dropped their weapon or
00:52:01admitted defeat, they would move on to a new partner. But with these two, there still had
00:52:06been no winner. The session would always end, but James couldn't let the lesson continue with
00:52:10many other things yet to be learned. The amazing thing was Aaron's learning speed with the sword.
00:52:15He had shown her a few simple techniques, and it seemed she had been concentrating well in
00:52:19classes. Picking up things at an amazing speed, every sparring session so far, she would implement
00:52:24the things she had been taught. Defeating her opponents one by one.at first, she had a few
00:52:27losses and wins, but before meeting the student, she had been on a complete winning streak, as if
00:52:32something clicked in her head. Right now, she was against Bart, the second best pupil, and it hadn't
00:52:37been long. Aaron looked carefully and waited for her opponent to strike first. When I first got here,
00:52:42it was a little hard. I didn't realize how much I relied on my ability. If I couldn't make up for it
00:52:46with my swordsmanship, then my ability would be able to cover me. But after learning from James,
00:52:51I can feel I'm getting better and stronger, but the opponent in front of her was strong.
00:52:55The usual things that had been taught to her, he knew too. She couldn't overpower him with strength,
00:53:00and their stamina was at the same level, so she couldn't rely on tiring him out either.
00:53:03Should I try S? Omething knew? I might lose if it doesn't work out, but it's the only chance I got.
00:53:09Using both hands, she gripped her long sword tightly and moved in. What is she up to? James thought as he
00:53:15watched the fight continue and noticed movements different from before. Rather than rushing
00:53:19straight forward, she started to jump immediately, as one foot would hit the floor, bouncing from side
00:53:24to side. It almost looked like a type of dance. The student carefully observed her with his eyes,
00:53:29waiting for her to strike. It didn't matter how she ran towards him, it would all be the same to him.
00:53:33Then, when Aaron was in range, her foot touched the ground. She kicked off using all her strength and
00:53:39spun her body, holding the sword. It caused an unusual striking pattern from below, but the student
00:53:44could block it with both of his blades. However, the rotation of the spin and power from jumping
00:53:48off her leg made the attack stronger than usual, and the only thing he could do was deflect the
00:53:52attack barely. His whole body swung to the side from the weight of the attack. As Aaron spun upward in
00:53:57the air, like a bird flying, it seemed like she would remain upward forever. She lifted the sword above
00:54:03and swung it down elegantly, stopping just before the student's head. What was that? I didn't teach her
00:54:08that, James said. It looked like a type of dance. Taking her blade away from the student,
00:54:14she clicked her tongue and turned away in disappointment. Still not good enough. It
00:54:17still doesn't feel right. What Aaron had just attempted to do was one of the swordsmanship moves
00:54:22that Fex had shown her while she was being used as a puppet. Every day, she continued to practice
00:54:26those motions, hoping to get the same feeling, but it never did happen. It was hard for her to try to
00:54:31replicate such smooth actions, having only experienced it once. Excellent, James said as he started
00:54:37clapping. You two come over here, he said, shouting across the room. Both, Bart with the glasses and
00:54:43Aaron, walked over to James off to the side while the rest of the students continued to practice.
00:54:47I just witnessed what you both did and have been watching you both fight for the last few days.
00:54:51Bart, don't be upset. You have remained my best student for the longest time, but there is still
00:54:55room for you to improve, and I think you learned that today. Well, Aaron, I never knew you had learned
00:55:00swordsmanship before coming here. You always seem to use the skills I taught so far. Do you have a
00:55:04teacher? James asked. Aaron started to think back about what to say. At one point, she did have a
00:55:09teacher from her family, but that was a long time ago, and she didn't think he was referring to those
00:55:13skills. It's a family secret, and I hope to keep it with me if that's okay. Aaron lied, hoping he
00:55:18wouldn't question her further after her reply. Never mind, I was just curious, said James. The reason why
00:55:23I have called you here is that I want to nominate you two for the agent's exam. You mean there's been
00:55:28an opening in the top 100? Far. He said excitedly. Yes, not just one, but two. They have asked all the
00:55:34teachers to select their best two students, which is why I have called both of you here today.
00:55:38James explained. This is a good opportunity for you both. If you are selected as a numbered agent,
00:55:42you will be able to leave the base. We will assign you a mission on one of the planets or even at one
00:55:47of the military bases. Prove your worth, and maybe one day, you will be in the same position as I am at.
00:55:53Aaron had learned quite a bit while staying at the base about the ranking system. The agents in the top
00:55:58100 rarely dropped out of rank. They often switched positions between each other, but this was the first
00:56:02time they were looking for someone from the hundreds to become a numbered. Does this mean two
00:56:06of the agents from the numbered were killed? Aaron asked, looking at Aaron's face and her determined
00:56:11look. James thought she deserved to know the truth. She had earned it after how hard she had been
00:56:15working. I'm not really meant to tell you this, but it's not really a secret either. But since it
00:56:19revolves around you, I think you should know. The truth is we don't really know what's happened to him,
00:56:24but one of them was Agent 100 Layla, the person who recommended you to us. She's no longer responding to
00:56:29our calls. Hearing this news was devastating to Aaron, and she was starting to fear the worst.
00:56:34What happened to you, Layla? Chapter 359. Back at Lantarnia. It was early morning, and it was finally
00:56:40time for school to start up again. The students would be attending their final term and preparing
00:56:44for the exams ahead before enjoying their summer break. This meant the teachers no longer had much
00:56:49to do, and this included General Nathan, who was in charge of the first-year students. He was in a
00:56:53chirpy mood as he entered the office, with a hop in each step and whistling a tune. Usually, Mondays would be
00:56:59the worst for most people, but it was the start of something new for him. Although, their military
00:57:03base had failed at securing the first position and becoming winners of the base event. They had been
00:57:08praised for at least not coming in last. Not only that, but Oscar, the Supreme Commander, had complimented
00:57:13them for how much improvement they had compared to the previous year. He stated he would be coming
00:57:17over the summer when the students weren't present to congratulate everyone. There were still problems
00:57:21between True Dream and Duke and Paul, but that was something Nathan didn't care to get involved in.
00:57:25The head general could take care of that, as it was above his pay grade. Besides, it seemed like
00:57:30True Dream had stopped making requests from the second base as he was busy preparing for something
00:57:34else. Finally, no problems, no drama. I can just relax, Nathan said as he went to sit down at his desk.
00:57:40That's when he noticed something strange, a white envelope. This was rare in this day and age,
00:57:45where anyone could just send someone a message in an instant. Even if they didn't want to,
00:57:49they could always send you a message later. So, he was curious about the contents of the letter.
00:57:54As Nathan quickly opened the letter, he realized there wasn't much on it, dear Nathan.
00:57:58I am leaving the military base for good. From Leo. Huh? Nathan thought, as he must have missed
00:58:04something. Here he read the few lines again, and again, until reality hit him. What? He shouted.
00:58:10He just left like that. It's the middle of the term. Who's going to take over the Beast class,
00:58:14and what about a new sergeant? Nathan immediately sat down and started to press his two fingers on his
00:58:19forehead as he could feel a slight headache coming on. Well, we did put that condition that he could
00:58:23leave whenever he wanted. But I thought he would have at least informed us. What about common
00:58:27courtesy? However, he couldn't stay mad for long. Leo had helped him in many situations during his
00:58:32short stay here, and it was a person even he looked up to. You were a great man, Leo. Because of you,
00:58:38there were times when the Duke and the others chose to do something different. Wherever you are,
00:58:42I hope you are doing well. Nathan said with a smile, before quickly cursing at him for giving him more
00:58:47work on his relaxing day off, and on planet Lantarnia, it was a peaceful day, just like any over.
00:58:51The long grass was healthy and green, and the Blue River was flowing nicely next to the quiet
00:58:56shelter. After leaving the military base, Leo had gathered all of his things and had made his move
00:59:01here, and finally back, Leo said after coming through the portal. The portal used had dropped
00:59:06him in the center of the shelter, and all his belongings came through with him, were left at
00:59:10the side. Leaving them there, he set off. While walking through the shelter, people looked at Leo strangely,
00:59:15for they could tell he was blind due to his strange eyes. Yet somehow he was walking fine.
00:59:19The shelter didn't often get visitors, not ones that would stand out as much as Leo.
00:59:24So, they all paid quite a bit of attention to him. While walking through the shelter heading
00:59:28for a particular destination, Leo started to think about the changes his body was experiencing.
00:59:32His ability was being restored to what it once was at an incredibly fast rate. He had done it once
00:59:37before, and the second time around was even easier, he noticed, and could feel all the changes in his
00:59:42body since that day. When practicing his swordsmanship, it was harder for him to tire out and feel
00:59:46exhausted, and even walking through crowds of people now, he could tell each person was different
00:59:50through their scent like a dog. He was thankful to Quinn. He had given him the ring allowing him to
00:59:55walk in daylight, just to see how it would affect him. Leo had taken the ring off while outside.
00:59:59The effects were instant and it hit like a bomb. It wasn't what he had expected at all. If it wasn't
01:00:04for the ring, he wouldn't have even dared walking out during the night. Being that weak with him being
01:00:08who he was, wasn't a good idea. He had also learned to perform a few blood abilities, but,
01:00:12he wouldn't use the MAGA. And after testing them out once, this was because of Quinn's warning,
01:00:17as well as what he could feel through his own body. His hunger and his life force were leaving him.
01:00:23Not only that, but through his ability, he could see it as well. IT hadn't been long, but,
01:00:27he was experiencing small pangs of hunger now and then, but it wasn't to the point where he needed
01:00:31to do something about it. Not yet anyway. This wasn't a huge worry. Obtaining blood may sound difficult at
01:00:36first, but with him being who he was, he didn't think it would be difficult. Especially in a shelter
01:00:40with a population of 20 or so thousand people, while thinking about all these things, he had
01:00:45finally reached his destination. He stood outside, what looked like a sizable styled dojo.
01:00:51There were two giant red doors, and a wall surrounding the whole place that IT was sparkly
01:00:55clean, with a white finish, and there weren't many buildings around it at all. As if it was an
01:00:59abandoned place, they managed to rebuild it to my exact specifications as well. It looks nice.
01:01:04Opening the large two red giant doors, a man from inside the dojo came rushing out as soon
01:01:08as they heard it. Hey, get out of here. How many times do I have to tell you? The owner of this
01:01:12place wants no visitors. A young man started yelling while out in his shorts and sunglasses.
01:01:17IT was clear he had been enjoying the large building to himself, as behind him just in front
01:01:21of the dojo building was a sunbed. However, as the young man got closer, he lifted his glasses,
01:01:27and he realized his grave mistake. Sir, you're back. When did you come back? Why didn't you inform me
01:01:32earlier? The young-looking man looked barely over the age of 20, and was flustered. I would have made
01:01:37sure to have everything ready for your liking. Don't worry about that, Leo said. For now,
01:01:42I just want to rest. How has the shelter been? Have the travelers got paid well? Were there any
01:01:46troubles within the shelter? While you were away, I did everything as you wished. The payments for
01:01:52the factions and travelers have been kept up, although there haven't been many attacks from
01:01:55beasts apart from one or two once in a while, and as you wished, the payments and donations to the
01:01:59shelter have been kept anonymous. The man replied, for the last couple of years, Leo had been funding
01:02:05the entire shelter himself with his own money. The beast crystals he had obtained, the money from
01:02:09the previous war, and all the money he received from teaching went to the shelter. This place was
01:02:13dear to him, because it was the shelter that he and his master and all the other students used to
01:02:17stay at before the Dalky attack. When they came, they had destroyed everything, and no one survived.
01:02:22The government had given up on it, as it would have been more expensive to rebuild than build a new
01:02:26one altogether. This was when Leo stepped in. He rebuilt everything, and invited those related to the
01:02:31ones that had died over to the shelter free of charge. Later, the shelter grew on its own,
01:02:36and it became like any of the off. Heirs, with taxes, and so on being paid. But they still needed
01:02:41protection, and as it wasn't one owned by the government or the big four, Leo decided to take
01:02:46up that role. There was one other reason for him doing all this as well. Any news on anyone suspicious
01:02:50entering the city? Leo asked, unfortunately, none that matched your description. The young man replied,
01:02:56the other reason was in rebuilding the shelter, was because of his master. The two of them were last seen at
01:03:01the dojo. Or, at least the ruins of it. He was hoping that there was a chance he would one day
01:03:06come back. But still, it seemed like he hadn't returned. Although there wasn't a man of your
01:03:11description who had entered the shelter. There were reports of two individuals, a man with a large
01:03:15sword on his back, and a young girl. Do you know where they went? Leo asked, they traveled up the
01:03:20cliff top, not too far from here near the river. I'll go check it out, prepare my things, and bring them
01:03:24in when you can. I left them all by the teleporting station. I'll be staying here, I don't know for how long,
01:03:30but at least a little while. Yes, sir, walking to the cliff top, Leo had a clue who the young man
01:03:34was talking about. A while ago, when the kids were in trouble, he had lent them a teleporter to use,
01:03:39and that teleporter led them to this place. However, he was unsure about the man. The kids
01:03:44hadn't told him their full plan, so perhaps one of them had connections to this man. Either way,
01:03:49with no clues about where his master was, he needed to start somewhere, even though the chances were slim.
01:03:54Maybe the two mysterious people weren't who he thought they were. Along the way,
01:03:57several flying-type intermediate beasts had come his way. Usually, they would be attacking
01:04:01anything on site, and this included Leo, but this time they were staying away. Can they sense
01:04:05I've changed? He thought, but as long as they didn't attack him, there was no need to go hunting
01:04:09for beasts. Finally, he had reached the edge of the cliff top. Using his ability, he started to look
01:04:15around to see if there were any more clues, and eventually, he found something on the ground.
01:04:19Picking it up, he noticed that it was a watch, but not just any watch. It was a design he became
01:04:23familiar with not too long ago. A watch from the military. I wonder what this is doing here?
01:04:27Chapter 360. Useless Martial Arts. The Monday lesson started as usual for Quinn and the others,
01:04:33but with the pending problem of the vampires eventually finding out and coming after Quinn.
01:04:38They couldn't completely relax, just why ET'd, I, and their homeroom lesson. Del started to explain
01:04:43about what would be coming up on the upcoming final exam test. There were no more physical
01:04:46assessments apart from the two portal outings that had already preceded, so the only tests left
01:04:50were written ones. Normal subjects such as maths, science, English, and I.T continued,
01:04:55but were never the main focus. On top of the usual tests, students would also have to perform
01:05:00a general knowledge test. This would test them, oh, and knowledge such as how to use such equipment,
01:05:05being able to differentiate between different tier beast crystals, different types of beasts
01:05:09and their weak points, and information on the dalky, and what weapons they would use.
01:05:13Luckily for Quinn, this was nothing for him to worry about. Not having an ability during his school
01:05:17life, the only thing he could do was study. So, he was confident about getting a good grade.
01:05:22When thinking about the others in the group, he could only imagine they would do great as well.
01:05:26The only one he would have worried about was Vex, who was now no longer with them.
01:05:29Did I hope you're doing okay? Quinn thought.
01:05:31A.S. The morning classes ended. It was time for them to go to their designated club class.
01:05:36Quinn started to head off to the weapons class and noticed that his homeroom teacher Del was
01:05:39going in the same direction as him, don't tell me. A horrid thought had crossed his mind,
01:05:43and he just hoped his gut feeling wasn't right this time, a few moments later.
01:05:47All right, everyone, unfortunately. Leo has left the military base for good, Del said, annoyed.
01:05:52He had suddenly been told in the morning that he was the one who now had to cover the beast weapons
01:05:56class. Due to Del's ability of being able to reinforce and allow beast weapons to grow stronger,
01:06:01he had a lot of knowledge about beast weapons, so they thought he would be a good substitute.
01:06:04But to Del, it was just more work he didn't want to do. So, I will now be your teacher.
01:06:08My name is Del started to introduce himself and ramble onto the class. Not everyone in the beast's
01:06:13weapons class was part of Del's homeroom. So some didn't know him well,
01:06:16like Quinn and the others. Thinking back to the first day he had met him,
01:06:20Quinn knew this would take a while, as Del loved to talk about himself. Looking around the room,
01:06:24ignoring what was being said, he spotted Layla at the back of the crowd.
01:06:27Hoping to go over there, he started to shift through the people. I wonder how she's doing
01:06:31with her ability and change. It can be hard to handle. Then when he finally could see her better,
01:06:36there was a little surprise. Standing by her side was CIA, CIA, wasn't part of the beast weapons
01:06:41class before, but people were able to freely switch whenever they wanted. A lot of students would do so
01:06:45to be more varied in their skills. While others stayed to specialize in one,
01:06:49as soon as Quinn saw her though, he decided to turn away and head back to the front of the class.
01:06:54He had heard from Layla how upset CIA was and how everything was affecting her.
01:06:59He couldn't help but feel a little guilty for what he had done, but he had no choice.
01:07:03It was that or death. Still, it was too early to face her knowing what had happened.
01:07:07Trying to think about a positive out of this, he managed to see one. Maybe with her losing her
01:07:12memories and knowing nothing about Pure, she could become a good companion. Her skill was
01:07:16extremely useful in the fight against the king-tier beast. Quinn thought. Seeing this,
01:07:21Layla understood Quinn's actions. She was. The one who had actually invited CIA along and asked her
01:07:26to change class, and CIA immediately agreed. CIA didn't know why, but lately, when she started to
01:07:31feel upset or begin to worry, just being next to Layla made her feel better. It got to the point that
01:07:36when Layla wasn't there, and she started to feel sad, she would outright go searching for her.
01:07:40This was because of Layla's newfound power. She had found to use her abilities. There were two ways.
01:07:46She could channel the negative thoughts within herself, or there was a second alternative.
01:07:50To feed off the negative emotions of those around her. When doing so, it seemed to lighten CIA's
01:07:55mood significantly. Layla felt a little guilty as in reality. She wanted to keep CIA around so
01:08:00she could have a type of leeching effect. If she ever needed to use her powers, she could do so,
01:08:05as long as she was there. And seeing her cheer up a little made her feel less bad about the whole thing.
01:08:09However, Layla was unaware of the addictive effect this was having.
01:08:13Okay, with self-introductions over, what was Leo teaching you guys before the event?
01:08:17Del asked a student raise their hand slightly and gave an answer.
01:08:20We were focusing on combat skills when we didn't have our beast weapons, sir.
01:08:24P.F. Useless. What's the point of that? Del said.
01:08:27Do you think you're going to be able to tear through a Dalkey's skin using your bare hands?
01:08:31The only good thing hand-to-hand combat is used for is fighting against other humans.
01:08:35If you want to practice that stuff, then fine. The students started to nod in agreement.
01:08:40Some of them initially thought it was useless, and why they were doing it. Still, there was also
01:08:44the other camp, and these comments angered Quinn a little. It was as if Del was trying to talk down
01:08:48about Leo while he wasn't here. Del had purposely misled them by not telling them the full story.
01:08:53Leo had explained that beast armor at a higher level can enhance the user's natural strength.
01:08:57If one was to lose their weapon, or it would break in a fight, knowing such skills could be a matter of
01:09:02life and death. IT had also helped Quinn much in learning. The crescent blood kick,
01:09:06one of the most powerful skills in his arsenal. I can see you aren't all convinced, Del said,
01:09:11looking at Quinn's scrunched-up face. Why don't one of you come up here and try to use the martial
01:09:15arts you learn on me? A girl student raised her hand and volunteered. She went up to the stage,
01:09:20and Del told her to remove her beast gear, while he would only use his large shield that covered his
01:09:24whole body. Come attack me, Del said. Let's see how useful your martial arts skills are.
01:09:29The girl came forward and started to perform kicks to the side, from above, and would try
01:09:33to mix in a few feints, but Del blocked them all with a shield. Quinn thought the whole
01:09:37demonstration was pointless. Del was a teacher who should have had more experience and skill
01:09:41in the first place. Not only that, the shield was as big as him. The only thing Del needed to do
01:09:45was shift the shield. Dee slightly from one side to the other. If there was more than one opponent,
01:09:50his demonstration would be pointless. After the girl had given up, a few more students started to come
01:09:54on stage, and Del would continually block all fear attacks, punches, and kicks. Hashtag this
01:09:59continued on for a while, and the students were starting to grow bored. Are we going to do this
01:10:03for the whole lesson? Think he just wants to show off, what that he can beat a bunch of kids.
01:10:07See, as I said, your martial arts is useless, said Delaware, so we should learn how to use them
01:10:12properly. Leo, first he wasted my time, and now I find out he's been wasting the students' time as well.
01:10:17He even got paid more than me, and he got promoted straight to sergeant.
01:10:20As Del went off on his tangent, all the students could hear him clearly. As he wasn't speaking
01:10:25quietly, IT was clear that there was jealousy involved in this, and the students were starting
01:10:29to think that Del was a bit unprofessional. But he was a teacher, and most of the kids did want
01:10:34to learn more about beast weapons themselves rather than the martial arts, so most of them let it go.
01:10:38Apart from one student, hearing Leo's name mentioned again had finally made him give IN.
01:10:42Do you mind if I have a go? Sir? Del's rambling had stopped, and when he looked down,
01:10:46he noticed that it was one of his own students, Quindo Quinn. I suppose he thinks he's a big
01:10:50shot now after that whole fighting event. His skills were good, and he was fast, but that was
01:10:55all because of the beast gear you were wearing. You will be the perfect person to prove my point.
01:10:59Of course you can, Quinn, but do remember, no beast gear allowed. You have to rely on your own
01:11:04martial arts skills. Leo said sarcastically, trying to hammer to point to everyone else,
01:11:09that's fine, I won't use any equipment, Quinn replied, walking onto the stage.
01:11:13Del, I've been wanting to do this to you for a long time, Quinn thought.
01:11:17Chapter 361, A Green Screen
01:11:19As the students saw Quinn walking up to the stage, they couldn't help but wonder.
01:11:23What was he thinking? He had done well in the fighting tournament, and his fame around
01:11:27the school had grown. There probably wasn't a single student who now didn't know his name,
01:11:31due to what had happened. However, there were some key differences between the tournament
01:11:35and fighting now. Quinn didn't have any of his beast equipment on. People had theorized
01:11:39that the equipment used on the day of the event had to be at the advanced level or higher.
01:11:43This was the only explanation they could come up with as to how Quinn was able to move so fast
01:11:48and why his attacks were so powerful. After all, he had defeated the Multiplier's clones in one strike.
01:11:54Something that hadn't happened before Quinn's fight. The rumors were that in exchange for
01:11:57selling the ability book to the original family.
