Chapter 193 My Sandwich
It was an early morning for the students at military base two, and although it wasn't time for the students to have breakfast yet. One was up and about before any other.
"Okay, just got to make sure I have everything?" Layla said as she slowly breathed in and out.
In her hand, she held a white envelope. While holding it, a pair of disposable gloves had been worn as well. She had repeated these steps multiple times in her head and had done everything so the note couldn't be traced back to her.
She felt around the envelope making sure the nano stick was inside. "Am I sure that I want to do this?" Layla said speaking to herself, "Everything that I'm going to do is against the protocol, and if I get caught, I don't even think my mother can pull me out of this one."
Right now, she stood outside the third floor of the boy's dormitory area, also known as the VIP area for the male students. As she took a step forward she quickly turned and started walking back, and then after two steps — she stopped again.
"I have to... if it wasn't for them… Quinn and everyone would have died back there, and if I don't, who knows what will happen to Quinn." She shook her head violently and then once again headed back to the VIP area.
Once she had entered she made sure to check the halls, she also checked the other rooms and areas to see if anyone was out and about. Although it was early morning and most students wouldn't be up by now, she still needed to make sure.
After placing the white envelope on the floor just outside one of the doors. She stepped back towards the exit of the hallway right by the staircase. "No turning back now."
Using her ability, she pushed the envelope underneath the door and it was now on the other side. After that, she quickly ran down the stairs heading back to her room.
So far, for everyone, it had been a normal day. They ate their morning food as usual and then went to their morning homeroom classes. It was now lunchtime, which was usually just before combat classes, and at that moment while Vorden, Quinn, and Peter were outside, Quinn had received a ping on his watch.
*Ding
"A voice message?" Quinn said.
"First, if you are listening to this message, make sure that no one not worthy of your trust is around you, I'll give you a few seconds to decide and do something about it before I will continue," Logan said.
Quinn looked around and the boys were outside on a bench, Vorden and Peter then huddled around Quinn to hear the message better and also made sure no one came close and if someone did, then they would quickly stop the message.
"Good," The message said as it continued to play. "I received some interesting information and it concerns Peter and your little problem. I suggest you gather everyone that knows about what Peter really is and bring them to my room. because we are going to need everyone's help on this to get out of this mess. Oh, and if you could bring me a sandwich from one of the vending machines that would be good. You don't have to do this, of course, but it will do good for my brainpower and help me think better."
Although the tone of the message didn't sound very urgent, Quinn knew that if Logan was initiating contact with him and was asking to bring everyone into his room, it was a big deal.
Logan didn't like people coming into his room in the first place.
For he was afraid that people may steal his ideas for his new future inventions, or even destroy whatever he was working on. So, Quinn knew that this was a big deal.
"You heard him guys, You inform the girls and bring them to Logan's room," Quinn said looking at Vorden. "Peter it might be best if you go with him."
"What are you going to do, sir?" Peter asked.
"I need to get that sandwich," Quinn replied.
The group had split up and Vorden and Peter went to get the two girls.
However, Quinn didn't just do that so he could get a sandwich, he was actually going to look for Fex. With his nose, it wouldn't be difficult to find him, and he knew that if he informed Vorden about this he would be against it.
But if it was something to do with Peter, he was sure Fex would help out.
The girls along with Vorden and Peter were patiently waiting inside Logan's room. The boys were quite calm, while Erin was tapping her foot away and about. Lately, she had been using all her spare time to practice her sword skills, yet she still could never achieve the same results as she did on the roof that day.
Being here just seemed like a waste of her time.
While Layla who was standing next to her felt a horrible bubbly feeling in her stomach. Her heart was pounding so hard she thought it was going to jump out of her throat.
"Can't you just tell us what is this all about?" Erin said annoyed.
"This is a very serious matter," Logan replied sitting in his chair. He was currently playing with a trapezium style Rubix cube made from metal. The inside used little small triggers to twist and turn the shape in all sorts of different directions. This made it multiple times harder than a standard Rubix cube. Each time he shifted one of the pieces, a large mechanical sound would be made.
"And I would hate to have to repeat myself again," Logan said as he continued to mess around.
The room was silent and the only thing that could be heard was the shifting sounds of Logan playing with the mechanical item. They waited and waited.
*Click

"Will you put that damn cube away!" Erin shouted, "Before I shove it up your…."
Just then the sound of the door was heard.
"Looks like they are here," Logan said as he put the cube on the floor.
Quinn entered first and right behind him was Fex. As soon as Erin saw this she immediately stepped back.
"Quinn, what the hell is he doing here?!" Vorden shouted.
"Wait, I was the one that asked him to come here," Quinn said. "If it's something to do with Peter or the vampires, then he's going to be a big help. Remember he helped us out last time and he has stayed true to his words every time."
"Look I can tell I'm not wanted here." Fex said." If you really want me to go, want I'll go."
"No, please stay," Logan said. "Quinn is correct, this matter is very serious and I do believe you will be a big help."
Since Logan was the one who had said it and invited them here, the others felt like they at least needed to hear Logan out before they decided if he needed to be involved or not.
"Alright, but before we begin I believe Quinn you have something for me?" Logan asked as he held out his hand, "My sandwich?"
"Oh!"
Quinn then threw the packaged sandwich over to Logan as a mechanical arm went into the air and grabbed it. Unwrapping it for him and feeding him. They all sat there and watched Logan eat the sandwich and when he was finally done. He turned to his computer.
"Let us begin!"

Chapter 194 The truth about Truedream
As usual, when Logan was explaining things, he would display what he was looking at on his computer screen to the others through a hologram. As he went through files one by one he would explain what they meant.
"When I woke up this morning I was surprised to see an envelope on the floor." Said Logan." I was afraid that it might be some type of a bomb or something. I had my mechanical spiders go ahead and pick it up, then inspect it. I scanned it for any traces of tampering and to see what was inside. To my surprise, there was a small little nano stick inside with a note."
The screen had changed and right now, a scanned version of the note was being displayed to the others.
"In this nano stick, is some information on one of the big Four family members, more specifically its leader known as Truedream. Our group has managed to gather extensive research into him and here we can see all his wrongdoings in the past. The reason why I have passed this note onto you is that unfortunately for all of you… Truedream will be arriving in a few days' time.
"Out of everyone, I thought perhaps with your abilities you might be able to do something to stop this madness, for we wish for we do not wish anyone innocent to get hurt."
At the end of the letter attached to the bottom was a stamp, and everyone in the room recognized it well. They had seen it many times on the television, and some of them had even written school reports about the group. It was the group known as Pure.
"So, what if Truedream is coming to the school?" Erin replied. "He does a routine visit to most of the military bases anyway. I fail to see why this is our problem, and why we should even trust the words coming from a military group?"
"I don't know," Layla said. "Maybe they know something that we don't, and I'm guessing it has something to do with that stick."
"Although I would like to say congratulations." Said Logan. "I believe anyone would have been able to come to that conclusion."
The files changed once again and this time it contained reports of the previous visits that Truedream had done. It contained detailed reports of each visit to the military base but not only that... It also informed them of what Truedream's true purpose for coming to the base.
The fact that every time he visited, a select few students would be chosen, and soon after their abilities were gone. It also showed that there was a pattern to these things and how he seemed to visit the second military base more often than the others.
The expression on everyone's faces was sour as they read the reports. "I can't say that it doesn't surprise me," Quinn replied. "It's expected of this crappy system."
"I agree it's bad," Erin said. "But still I don't really see how this involves us. We're just students and they want us to stop this. He's from one of the big four families.
That was when Vorden noticed something. "Wait did you say the visit was in a few days. Isn't that…."
"Looks like we have a winner," Logan said. "This is the reason why I called you all. I remember you telling me that for some reason Duke, had deliberately wanted Peter to reach a level four…"
"It seemed strange, but why were they suddenly showing favoritism to Peter? And what's with the rush?"
"Putting these two things together it makes sense. Not only was Peter originally weak, but he also had no strong family backing, sure his family would be upset if he was to lose his powers or disappear, but no further steps would be taken, and everyone would soon forget just like the students before." Logan explained.
"And if they find out that Peter has no abilities anymore, they will start asking questions all over again and it could lead them back to us," Vorden said. "Not just the vampire stuff, but when they find out we were close to Peter, they might start looking into the deaths and more."
The group had to take their time to take everything all in. Out of all of them, the first one to leave the room was Erin.
"I don't mean to be rude or anything but I'm not really that involved with you guys," Erin said. "I'm not a vampire and I have no ties to what you did with the others. If I help out in this it will only make me a bigger target. If you guys are caught trying to do anything, it could come back to me. I can't let that happen."
As Erin left the room not a single person had gone out to chase her. She had a point. She really wasn't involved in any of this and if she did help, it would only put her at risk.
"We have two days," Logan said. "This Sunday the students will be asked to gather in the assembly hall to welcome Truedream. Usually, the students are asked to stay back after the assembly. This is what is stated in the reports. They will then be taken somewhere, but where?
"Nobody knows…"
"All that we know is that these students who are taken away lost their abilities. The world is given the explanation that they have been punished for doing something bad, so their ability got taken away, and some even disappear. So, what plans do we have?"
The group then continued to discuss what could happen and came up with different plans and scenarios in case different things happened. Finally, after a long talk, they had come up with a plan that seemed to have a good chance of working.
And it was like Logan had said, for this to work they would need everyone who was here to help.
This included Fex and surprisingly he had agreed without saying too much. If he was discovered by his family now, he would get into too much trouble.
But he knew that if the world discovered the existence of vampires and it was because of him, it didn't matter who his father was no one could save him.
With the plan set, everyone left the room.
For now, they would all act as normal for the next couple of days until Truedream arrived.
When everyone had finally left the room, Logan turned towards his computer once more and started to play a video file. Logan was a very cautious person and was paranoid everyone was out there to steal his work. The school didn't allow any cameras but that didn't mean he couldn't install any of his own.
In the VIP area, Logan had set tiny miniature cameras that were close to invisible to the human eye. He installed them, not only on his front door but also a few on the outside as well.
After receiving the letter in the morning…
Naturally, the first thing he did, was to check and see who had delivered the letter. As the video played, it was clear as day, that Layla was the one who had delivered the letter.
"Layla, huh? It seems like this little group of yours Quinn all have their own tiny little secret. Although this one is not mine to tell."

Chapter 195 An illegal?
After the meeting with Logan, the boys only had a little bit of time before lunch would end and they needed to head to their combat classes. That's when Fex asked a question that seemed out of the blue for everyone present.
"So who is this Truedream guy, is he a big deal?" Fex asked.
Everyone stopped for a moment and turned to look at Fex strangely. It was impossible for someone who lived on earth to have never heard fo the big four family names. This fact had even shocked Quinn, and he started to think more and more, that perhaps vampires were no longer on earth.
"Whoa, what's with all the creepy stares, so I don't know one person, is he really that big of a deal?" Fex asked.
"Well, to be honest, I think Vorden would probably know more about him," Quinn replied. "I only know the basics."
At this point, everyone was all ears to hear what Vorden had to say.
"Truedream is different from the other big families," Vorden said. "The families had their powers long before the world knew they even existed, slowly passing it down from family to family member. And to be honest, even within all the ability users, the three families always reigned on the top."
"The three?" Quinn said.
"Yeah, this is what I mean when I say the Trudream family are a little different. For one, most of his family actually consist of multiple different ability users. This is due to the nature of his ability. The second thing is Truedream had discovered the ability himself later in life, we believe he is the first to have this power.
"His ability is unique and we're not even sure if he can pass it on for others to learn or not. The military who are partners with him, like to keep it this way. Remember its only because of him that so many of those in power chose to not disobey. Anyone who tries to fight back or rebel gets their powers taken away. There are even rumours it was because of Truedream that the Pure faction had started in the first place.
"Once your ability gets taken away, there's no way for the body to learn another one and for some reason, it seems like Truedream's ability stops you from completely producing any more mutant cells for your old ability. As you know, someone without an ability can't get very far in the outside world at the moment."
It was true, currently, in the outside world, most of the things that couldn't be done with abilities were already automated with technology. Everyone then recived a universal income, but it wasn't enough credits to live on earth, causing most of the humans to relocate to shelters on other planets, some that were less protected than others.
Although, even after Fex had heard Vorden's explanation this Truedream person still didn't seem like a big deal to him. Even if Fex's ability did get taken away, there was nothing he could do about his vampire powers. Also, it seemed like Truedream himself was very weak, so he didn't understand the fear associated with his powers that the others had.
After the boys finished talking it was time for them to split up and head for their combat classes. Before doing so, Peter changed his number from an ability level of 2 to a 3. This way Bones could see he was progressing and report back to Duke.
As usual, during the combat class, the group was going through their kicks once again. It was expected since the theme for the lesson would carry on for a week. Only this time Leo demonstrated how to block using your legs and counter certain moves using the palm of your hands instead.
Fex and Quinn weren't really in the mood to practice all out, they were too busy thinking about the plan they had to initiate. So they were casually kicking and blocking each other's attacks at a normal speed.
They had a lot on their minds as the plan wasn't perfect. It couldn't be perfect, because they didn't know what Truedream was going to do, so the only thing they could try was improvising and plotting around a few things they did know what was going to happen.
In the middle of their practice, Fex asked Quinn a question. "Hey, that ghoul he evolved right? So I'm guessing you sorted everything out, do you know what he evolved into?"
"You mean you can't tell?" Quinn replied as he palmed away a kick.
"I can tell he smells different from before, but I don't think I've smelled his type, so what is he?"
"He's something called a wight." When Quinn spoke those words, Fex had suddenly stopped kicking.
"Seriously, what a rare evolution, he must be quite powerful then, maybe even stronger than me in terms of physical abilities."
"What makes you say that?" Quinn asked.
"Well, a wight's strength is mirrored by his creator's strength, and his creator has to be a leader," Fex explained. "Which makes me think why he even left the ghoul in the first place or why he hasn't come back to pick it up."
"Well it doesn't have to be a leader, right?" Quinn said nervously hoping to throw Fex of this dangerous trail. "Any Vampire can turn someone?"
Quinn had made sure to check this fact with the system beforehand, and it was true that most Vampires could turn someone. However, depending on their power it limited how many people they could turn. At most a regular Vampire could only turn one person.
"Are you serious? Did they really teach you nothing here?" Fex said as he let out a sigh. "Although it's true that a vampire can turn anyone it is against the laws. The only person who has permission to turn someone is the leader of one of the thirteen families. If anyone else was to turn someone that would be classified as an illegal. The vampire and whoever created it would be taken back to be executed."
Quinn gulped at hearing this piece of information, is this what the system meant when they said they would now be coming after him? Was Quinn and Peter both considered illegal in the eyes of the Vampire families?
Afterall Quinn was an unusual vampire as the system had stated. As he was busy thinking and taking it all in the system had interrupted.
"Don't worry you are not illegal." The system said. "However, I didn't want to tell you this so soon for you still are not strong enough and don't have the classifications of one. But ever since you turned Peter and created your own family name. You too are now a vampire Leader. But as I stated before if you want to live, never reveal this information to anyone."
Although Fex didn't say anything else, he had kept a few things to himself. Wight's were known to only follow one person, otherwise, their natural nature would take over and they would go on a rampage.
Many of them had to be destroyed once their masters had be slane, otherwise, they would attack everyone in sight.
The fact that Peter hadn't done that, meant whoever had turned him was still closeby. Fex was no fool, judging by the frightened look on Quinn's face, he could only assume Peter was created by him and perhaps Quinn's leader wasn't aware of this certain event.
Fex didn't know how close to the truth he was, and how far away he was at the same time.

Chapter 196 The thirteen families
A whole load of information had just been given to Quinn at once. He felt like it was pretty relevant to the situation he was in and it would have been nice if he had at least hinted about it beforehand. The way the AI acted with the system was really starting to bug Quinn.
The lesson was coming to its end, so Leo decided to round up everyone to give a few pointers. This was Quinn's chance to ask the system the questions he needed.
"Look, I don't understand anything," Quinn said. "I understand maybe you didn't want to tell me before. The less I know about it the better, hoping I wouldn't get too involved but right now, Fex is here, and if I make a mistake and slip up he will easily be able to tell."
"I'm sorry Quinn." The system replied. "I want to tell you but sometimes I can't. When the creator created me, he chose to make it so certain information was revealed only when necessary. There are things I wish to tell you but cannot."
"Then what can you tell me? Earlier Fex mentioned there being family leaders and then you mentioned that I was one as well, what does he mean by that?"
"The Vampires are controlled by a council. The council is split up into thirteen different leaders and a Vampire king or queen. These are also what are known as families. When you created Peter and made your family name, you automatically became a member of the council."
Quinn couldn't believe what he was hearing. Just a second ago he didn't even know a Vampire council existed and now apparently he held a high position of power.
"But then, why would they be after me then?" Quinn asked. "And wouldn't this mean I would be safe if they found out about Peter?"
"Quinn, the Vampire race like to seem like they are working together but they are just as cruel and power hungry as humans. When the Vampire king or queen decides to go into eternal slumber, then a new king shall be selected from one of the thirteen leaders.
"While the current king or queen is still present they must do as they say, but once they disappear, it will turn into a cruel battleground. You are only a leader in name only. A shortcut was created due to the system. A lowly Vampire like you is too weak. To become a vampire leader one at least must have the rank of a Vampire lord. Although this isn't the only reason why they will be after you, unfortunately, I can't say anymore."
The Vampire leaders were at the rank of a Vampire Lord, but Quinn had never met a leader before so he had no reference for their strength. The only other Vampire he had met was Fex.
"What about Fex, do you know what rank he is at?" Quinn asked.
"Fex is on the cusp. He is not quite at the next evolution stage which would be a Vampire noble, but he is stronger than most Vampires out there. The ranks are as follows, you have a Vampire, Vampire Noble, Vampire knight, Vampire lord, and finally, the Vampire king or queen. There are also the subclasses such as Peter within these ranks, but they can never rise above their leaders or creators."
Quinn was hoping to hear that Fex was quite a high ranking Vampire, perhaps even one just below the Vampire lord. Instead, he just managed to get confirmation that there were a few more classes even above Fex.
It was as the system said, for whatever reason that the system wouldn't tell him if they were to learn he was a Vampire leader they would try to kill him, and with his strength right now he wouldn't even last a second.
"These families, why are there thirteen of them? Couldn't all the Vampires just unite under one banner."
"The humans and vampires share more than they would like to think. Just how humans were selfish and decided to keep their abilities to themselves, it is the same for the Vampires. Each Vampire has a basic set of skills, however, the thirteen different families are each divided into the different abilities they have.
"This does not mean, they are all related by blood however, before learning an ability a Vampire must go through a blood ritual with that family, meaning they can never go against them. Only then will they teach that Vampire their ability. An example of this is the Sanguinis family that Fex is a part of, who have the ability to control string. Still, this does not mean a Vampire cannot learn an ability outside of the thirteen, but if they chose to do this, they will never be promoted within the ranks of the family they have chosen to follow."
This information disappointed Quinn a little. He was hoping at some point he would be able to find an ability for Peter to use, but it seemed like each family kept a lock on their abilities, not allowing outsiders to learn them. And what were the chances Quinn would be able to stumble upon another book that Vampires were able to learn? Thinking about this caused another question to pop into his head.
"Wait!" Quinn said. "Does that mean my ability belongs to one of the thirteen? Is that why they're trying to kill me?"
"You're shadow ability is not part of the thirteen families." The system replied.
This was the first bit of good news Quinn thought. If his ability wasn't part of the thirteen families even if he used it, the Vampires wouldn't know he was a Vampire and they could think he was just another ability user.
"But, I warn you to not use your ability in front of others, the only thing I can say for now is your ability carries history for the Vampires that they wish to forget, they would only target you more."
"Doesn't that mean Fex is targeting me then?" said Quinn.
"I believe he may be too young to know about what happened in the past, they most likely do not teach the young ones about this either. This is all you need to know about this matter. Only when you are strong enough Quinn, I promise I can tell you then."
This whole Vampire business seemed like it was more trouble then it was worth at the moment. Just when Quinn thought he could finally stop hiding his strength it seemed like he needed to hide it even more.
Right now though he would have to deal with one problem at a time and the immediate problem in front of him was Peter and Duke.
Over at the elemental training hall. They too were doing the same lessons as usual and as lessons were about to finish, they had free time to do what they wanted and once again Bones had come over with his two men and confronted Peter.
"Peter!" Bones shouted. "Well, will you look at that! You finally managed to reach level three. It looks like you're going to make it to level four in time after all. What do you say to one more sparring match before tomorrow huh?"
Bones was frustrated after taking a beating from Vorden last time, and he himself was a level, four user. While Peter was still a level three, and a new one at that. Bones was confident he could still beat him. Even if he had the potential to be as strong as him with his earth powers, he couldn't have learnt that many skills with the ability in such a short amount of time.
Peter turned around and took one look at Bones. "You're too weak for me, P*ss off before I kill you."

Chapter 197 Trouble maker!
Vorden was standing by the side of the group and was glancing over as usual, he currently had the level four earth ability copied, just like last time in case this situation was to repeat himself.
"Those guys, I guess they didn't learn from last time, maybe I've gotten softer hanging around with Quinn all the time." Vorden thought.
But as he was thinking that, he heard Peter's voice.
"You're too weak for me, P*ss off before I kill you," Peter said, and this time there wasn't a hint of fear in his voice.
'Damn it, this is not good,' Vorden worried. 'Before I had to babysit a weak cry baby Peter, now I have to babysit this. I'm not sure which one I prefer.'
Vorden couldn't reveal he was involved with Peter so he couldn't step in and waiting was all he could do for now, he watched carefully preparing himself for the worse. Standing in a fighting stance just to the side of the group.
"What the heck?" Bones said. "Oh I get it now, you think cause you got a little bit of power and now a level three you're a big shot, huh well think aga…" Before Bones could even finish what he was saying.
Peter's hands had gripped and wrapped around Bones' mouth his fingers placed at the side his jaw. "Did I not tell you to go away!"
Bones immediately retaliated by lifting his hands trying to create a pillar of earth from below Peter's feet. As soon as Peter had felt the slightest bit of vibration from below, he knew what was coming.
But he didn't move, he waited for the pillar to rise up while continuing to hold on to Bones. Then at the last second, as the pillar rose up from below, Peter stepped back and pulled bones into his own Pillar allowing it to hit him right in the chin.
"Bones!" One of his friends shouted as they came running forward, then suddenly out of nowhere a large wall of earth had come between the two groups, and at the same time bones had been blocked off from Peter's view.
Now standing by Peter's side was Vorden. "Ignore them, we have to get out of here! Now Just Run!"
But Peter remained still as if he wanted to continue fighting against them.
"look, just ignore them, their trash right, there not worth our time," Vorden argued.
"Huh! You're right about that." Peter said as he took off with Vorden out of the training centre.
As Vorden and Peter where outside, Vorden decided it was best if they headed back to the dorm room for now and stayed there. While heading back he started to think about the confrontation, it had shown Vorden how much Peter had changed.
Seeing how he acted against Bones, he couldn't imagine what Peter might do if he was to be put in a room with Truedream or Duke.
Inside the dorm room, Vorden and Peter hadn't said much. They no longer were as close as before when Vorden used to mentor Peter. In fact, when Vorden looked at Peter now he no longer would see the same Peter, he just got this weird feeling and he found it strange that Peter would often just remain still in one place for long periods of time. Coming from Vorden that said a lot to how much Peter really had changed.
Finally, Quinn had returned from his class and the first thing Vorden did was ask if the two of them could speak alone in private.
"Sorry about this Peter, Do you mind?" Quinn asked.
"If that is what you wish sir," Peter said as he went back to sit down in his seat.
The two of them decided to take a walk down the hallway until they had reached a window. Making sure there wasn't anyone who could be listening in to their conversation, they looked outside allowing the breeze to touch their face as they talked.
Vorden had explained what had happened today in the training hall and he also told him his worries about Sunday when he was to meet Truedream.
"I feel like you want to suggest something to me?" Quinn said.
"I know I have mentioned it before." Said Vorden. "But last time I said it half-heartedly, but this time Quinn I'm serious. I think we should cut our ties with Peter."
Although Vorden had sugarcoated his words Quinn knew what he was getting at, they should kill Peter. Honestly, with everything going on, Quinn couldn't say he hadn't had the same thoughts.
Lately, the thought was entering his head more often, this Peter wasn't the same one he knew, it was clear the old Peter was already gone.
"Trying to go through with this plan, I think is riskier than getting rid of Peter," Vorden said. "I think we can do Peter justice when we leave school in two years, we'll look after his family. We can make our own faction and the money we earn from being Travellers we will send them a portion each month."
Vorden was making a good case, but Quinn wondered how Peter's family would feel after finding out their son had died or disappeared. Would they really care if they had money or not? Even if Peter wasn't the same as before he was still him right? There had to be still a little of him inside there somewhere.
"I for one don't think this is a good idea." The system said. "First, you yourself will be unable to kill Peter even if you decide to go through with this. You would have to stand by as you watched someone you know kill Peter and, although he is loyal to you, he would not just stand there without putting up a fight.
"The second thing goes to the matter we spoke of before, you were lucky Peter turned into a wight. It is quite a powerful alley to have. Right now you need to gather and keep all the power you can get. It's not a question of IF the vampires will come, Quinn, It's WHEN."
Suddenly, as these thoughts filled Quinn's mind, a strange feeling came over him once again. It was the family connection from the blood ritual. "I can't do it Vorden," Quinn said. "He's family now and so are you and the others."
Quinn didn't know this but as he turned and said these words to Vorden, his eyes were lit up bright Red. Vorden assumed that perhaps this matter went far beyond just the conversation they had now, and had something to do with Quinn himself.
"Alright Quinn, we'll stick with the plan."
The next day it was the weekend so the group had no classes for the day. However, they were unable to spend their time as freely as the other students could. Instead, they met in Logan's room once more.
Each of them went over the details of their plan, while Logan also handed each a strange round circular pin to be put on their clothes. It looked similar to a button and blended well into their uniform. There was also a sperate circular small speaker that was to be placed in the ear.
These two items were a set that was to be used to communicate with each other. The only person who didn't receive one was Peter, as they knew he would be taken away. However, a microphone was once again installed into his watch so they could hear everything that was happening.
After a good night's rest, it was finally Sunday, the day Truedream would finally arrive at the school.

Chapter 198 Jack Truedream arrives
It was now Sunday morning and the eight sergeants had all gathered inside the portal hall. Four of the second year sergeants stood on one side and four of the first year sergeants stood on the opposite side, forming two lines in front of the portal.
Each of them had straightened postures and were unmoveable, assuming their best attitude before the single portal. The said portal had been pulled out and placed in the centre of the room. Although the colour of this portal was neither green, orange, nor red, it was hued in the purity of white, making it look like a blank canvas.
Just like the travelling stations, the white colour indicated that the destination of the portal was Earth.
The doors to the training hall soon opened and every one of the sergeants immediately gave a salute to the four men who had entered the room.
Duke - The head of the second-year students, Nathan - The head of the first-year students, and Mike stood in the centre. Out of all the generals there, Mike was the oldest and was well respected. Even though he didn't hold the highest rank, he was still in charge of the communications that would transpire in between military bases.
Then, finally, standing behind the three of them was a man in a black and white tailored suit. The others had never seen him wear anything else other than that. It was the head general Paul.
"Duke, I hope you already have everything prepared, yes?" Paul asked.
"Yes, everything is proceeding well and we should reach the quota as usual. All the students will gather in the assembly hall this afternoon. We shall advance with everything else right after." Duke replied.
"Good." Said Paul, looking at another comrade next. "Mike, how are the preparations for the upcoming event going?"
"Not to worry, we still have a leeway of a month before the event. Students will be able to choose which events they want to participate in soon. I'm sure that we'll come out on top this year - I know we will." Mike said as he laughed loudly.
"Nathan, I'm afraid I have some bad news for you." Said Paul. "The upcoming portal outing for the first-year students, it will not be a green portal like how we originally planned it, but it will be an orange portal instead."
Hearing this, Nathans's eyes widened. "Sir, this is crazy! They're only first-year students. Why do we need to push them so fast?"
"There are reports that the Dalki are becoming more aggressive with their exploration. We must compete with them. This order has been made by all of us, so we must push more and at the same time, we can not willingly lose our regular men. Earth is the number one priority and we must protect it at all cost."
"So they chose to sacrifice the children instead!" Nathan complained back, utterly distraught by the news.
"War will soon be waged and the Dalki do not discriminate, whether they are children or not. Age will not matter to them when that time comes. It's better that they get the experience now. I will give you permission to send a couple of sergeants with them for their safeguarding rather than the regular teachers, but that's it. This is an order and it's final. I don't want to welcome any opposition."
Usually, green portals would be used for first years. They were the safest, containing basic and intermediate beasts. Once the student reached the second year stage, they would then, though only once, go out on an orange portal expedition.
Orange portals posed a heightened risk. There were shelters on the planet, but the whole planet had yet to be explored. The moment that the military arrived on that planet, the goal would be to expand and explore the areas of the planet that had yet to be explored.
If they were lucky and finished their exploration, it would get the go-ahead and the portal colour would change to green. If they discovered high-level beasts, then the portal would retain its orange colour.
Nathan felt like the first years were way too inexperienced to do such a task. The main difference when travelling to an orange portal planet was that they would travel as a single unit instead of in teams. Furthermore, the school had yet to enlighten the students about the importance of working together.
The generals now stood a few feet away from the circular teleporter. Paul lifted his wrist to look at his watch, checking the time - It was currently 8:59.
9:00
As soon as the watch displayed 9:00, the portal started to warp slightly, and three figures could be seen coming through. Standing in the centre was a bald-headed man who wore sunglasses and he had also donned a suit.
"Jack!" Greeted Paul. "It's been a while." He said as he went to the others and gave them a hug.
"That's him?" Fay whispered to Hayley who was standing next to her. "I can't believe that two of the strongest people on our planet look like shady businessmen."
Although Jack Truedream didn't look impressive by himself, the two men who came out of the portal beside him did. One of them was a large fellow whose height was nearly seven feet. He was completely covered in a grey coloured beast equipment, which looked similar to a rhino, while he carried a large two-handed axe on his back.
By his side was an individual who was the complete opposite, a small skinny fellow. This person was wearing beast equipment that was dark green in hue and had a mask covering his face. Although, instead of a heavy armour like the other person, he wore light armour.
However, just from gazing at both of their equipment, Fay could tell that they were high-level beast gear, way beyond that of the advanced tier. Jack truly had brought his strongest guards along.
It reminded Fay that even though they were allies. Still, at the same time, they weren't. The fact that Jack felt the need to bring these two was to remind them of the power that his family had.
Right now, there was an odd balance between the ability users in the world that caused small-scaled skirmishes to happen. The military's strongest force was the 8 head generals that were in charge of each of the military bases. The leader of this group was the head general in military base one.
In addition to them was the big four from the four families. They were the current decision-makers in the affairs concerning the world, and whenever there was a serious matter to be decided, a meeting would be called in their midst. Once in a while though, the families or the military would have to show their strength just to make sure that the others wouldn't get the idea of rebelling.
"How about some breakfast together? My chiefs have prepared a great meal." Paul asked.
"No thanks, I ate before I came here," Jack replied. "I was actually hoping to speak to your sergeants who discovered one of our family members. I believe that when his body was discovered, it was found along with two other students, is that correct? I wish to investigate this matter before I do anything else. If you don't mind, that is."
"Oh, honestly I'm not sure of the details myself," Paul replied. "I surmised that Hayley was the one who wrote the report and sent it off to you. Hayley!" Paul called her and she immediately rushed over, giving a salute to both Paul and Jack.
"Please, if you can, help Jack in any way possible."
"Of course, sir!" Hayley replied.
This was the real reason why Jack had decided to visit the military base. His original plan was to visit the particular place later. However, when he learnt that one of his men had died in the same way as one of his previous guys, he felt the need to investigate. Perhaps, whatever had killed Ian was the same thing that killed one of his top men. He was hoping that he could find answers from the two students who were found with the body at the time.

Chapter 199 The one rule
Right now both Jack and Hayley were both inside the medical office. Hayley was sitting down at her computer while Jack was standing just above her shoulder taking a peek at the screen.
"Is this the report you wanted?" Hayley asked as she brought up the file.
Jack gave it a quick read over and it was the same report that he had received from her before. "When you recovered his body, other than the two boys that were with him in the place, was there anyone else or anything inside?" Jack asked.
"Nothing that I can remember. Although now that you mention it, it did seem a little strange?" Hayley said.
"What do you mean?"
"Well even though everything was supposedly destroyed, the whole training centre was left untouched due to it being made of glathrium. It looks like not a single beast had managed to get inside the place. Yet, when we entered. It seemed like the whole place had been trashed, as if a huge brawl had taken place."
"Do you remember any other details?" Jack asked.
Hayley then went into detail describing what the scene looked like, how there were several mangled doors and how chairs from the arena were all over the place and crumbled up. She then also went into detail about Truedream's body when they recovered it. The bottom half was still intact while the top half had the same two bite marks on it. She also did a quick on the spot evaluation and found that the body seemed to have died not too long ago.
"It sounds like Ian must have had fought something while he was in there." Jack said." Ian's ability was magnetism, judging by the scene you were describing, whatever he was fighting with at the time managed to kill him. Do you have the name of the two boys, if they were there then they must have at least saw something."
Although Hayley felt the same way, the boys had already been interrogated several times over the event. Right now, Hayley felt like the most possible thing was a beast. Something might have attached themselves to one of the students and got on to their scent. It followed behind them, killing people in the process and causing small puncture wounds on their neck. This was the only logical conclusion she could come to.
Still, she didn't want to inform Jack of all the previous investigations they had already done. He was in a way higher position than her. She had also heard rumours of his bad side.
At first, Jack was apparently a pleasant person, he thanked the military for helping and taking him in, promising to always help them out. But as he got better abilities and more people on his side, the demands he started making were ridiculous. Nowadays if he didn't get his way, there was no telling what would happen.
The two students files were brought up, the first one was Quinn. Jack quickly scanned it over, but as soon as he saw he was only a level one ability user, he quickly disregarded it, the next person though was Vorden who interested him.
On his file, it stated his initial testing was a level 5 but next to it in brackets, they said it was (subject to changes) and it was also stated that he was an original. The school already knew Vorden's power due to the information passed on to the previous school but just for filing sake, they took down his initial score.
As Jack was reading through the file, that's when he spotted the name. "Vorden Blade." After reading this name out loud a memory had popped into his head.
Several years ago Jack had had his power for a few years now and his family members were starting to grow, he had been called in for a meeting. This meeting was between the big three powers. The strongest originals. He was invited to a private island where a large mansion sat on the highest point.
He remembered each of their presence that day as they sat on a round table opposite to each other. The pressure coming of each of them was immense. After all, they were the strongest people in the world. They didn't rule it by political gains or winning the peoples hearts like in the past.
Instead, they ruled it through their own power and an iron fist, and just looking at them he could see that. There was no military there, no government, there was just the three leaders of the family and himself. They didn't need any guards with the. What was the point when they were stronger than any guards they could hire?
The meeting had come as a surprise because the reason he was called, was because they wanted him to have a seat at the leader's table.
The leader's table consisted of the eight head generals and currently the heads of the three big families.
They had acknowledged the strength of Jack and his family had at that time. And on that day it went from the big three to the big four. However one thing had stuck in his mind, there was one rule they stated before he left… "To never touch the Blade family."
At first, Jack thought it was a joke as he started to laugh, he had heard of every single one of them out there. He even knew several other big name original families out there in the real world, but he had yet to have heard of this Blade family before.
But soon after he realised that each of them were dead serious, the pressure they were emitting just seconds ago seemed to completely vanish at the mention of this family name.
"Can you tell me why?" Jack asked.
"If you ever meet one of them, you have two choices." One of the men said. "Stay away, or help them, but if you go against them, not even we can help you."
At the time he was truly frightened.
Looking at the report once again, he looked at the name carefully. 'Could this really be related to the same family they were talking about?' Jack thought. 'Would they really care if I got rid of one kid, or maybe they were behind the deaths of my men in the first place.'
He started to think about what to do and decided to go confront Vorden. However, every time he felt like he was about to do this, images popped back up in his head of the strong men on the table that day. Just what had gotten them so worked up?
"Perhaps, it's best if I just leave it alone for now," Jack said. "I could always get some more men."
A few hours had passed and lunch break had just passed. Although it was a Sunday all the students had been told to gather in the assembly hall for a special occasion. While the others were wondering what it was exited and chattering away.
Quinn and his group had stomach pains and their blood was pumping widely around their body. They knew exactly why they had all been called. A part of them didn't want the letter to be true, but they could no longer escape reality.
Standing inside the assembly hall was all the first-year students and the second-year students. In total in the assembly hall stood around 1000 students. All of them stood nice and straight staring in the direction of the stage.
Right now, standing up on the stage was Duke, and behind him were the two men who had arrived with Jack.
"Alright is everyone ready?" Logan asked. Right now Logan had a small earpiece that acted as a microphone. While the others apart form Peter had the same.
It was time for them to put their plan into action.
"Ready." They all replied.

Chapter 200 The selected eigh
The assembly hall was split into two equal half's, with all the first year students standing on the left of the stage, and the second year students standing right of the stage. The fact that all the students in the school were told to gather together, and not just a single year told them it would be a big event.
Then the two section on each side would be further split up, they were grouped by each homeroom class which contained about fifty students. Quinn and Vorden were standing relatively close to each other while Peter was standing a row in front of them so they could keep an eye on him. While the girls stood directly at the front of the class.
Their section was stationed closest to the stage, while right at the back towards the exit was Logan. To his surprise, it seemed like Fex was in the same homeroom class as him. Logan didn't turn up to home room class much, and if it was anyone else they would have been punished for this. But because Logan was a VIP student from a rich family he obtained special privileges.
Duke was currently standing on stage giving the students a speech, telling them about all the achievements that the base had made so far, and what the upcoming schedule for the first year and second year students would look for the rest of the year.
While listening to this, Vorden was preparing himself, or more specifically he was preparing someone else.
"Raten you remember the plan right?" Vorden asked. "As soon as you finish with what needs to be done, then you get out of there. I don't care if someone looks interesting to fight, or if someone looked at you the wrong way, we need to disappear immediately after you are done."
"Will you shut up?!" Raten snapped back. "For the last two days, you've said the same thing over and over to me. I know that if I don't do what you said, I won't hear the end of it."
Vorden, hated the fact that the plan required him to use Raten, if he could he would have used himself but the task that was given to him relied on him having two abilities and Vorden could only control one, but of course, using Sil was out of the question, so that left him with Raten.
The two abilities he needed were already stored for the day, right now they just needed for the assembly to be over.
Quinn, on the other hand, was worried for Peter. The system recommended giving Peter some of his blood which he did, and he gave the order not to attack Duke or Jack. With the extra blood it made Peter more loyal to the point he would obey every order, loyalty to one's master was also distance based, the further away, the less influence the master's orders had, but with fresh blood from Quinn in his system he would have no option but to obey the commands he was given. Eventually, the power would fade away but for a short time period like this one, it would be enough.
The only way that Peter could disobey this order, is if his life was put on the line, then self-preservation would override Quinn's orders.
"Other than an update about the schedule for you all, we also have a special guest here today. He visited us last year, and he is here to visit us again."
Duke pointed at one of the men who sat at the leader's table, and was actually the leader of one of the big four. "Please clap for Mr. Truedream." Duke said as he walked off the stage.
Mr. Truedream then got up from his seat at the table, and come up from the side of the stage, and as he stepped forward so did the two guards next to him. The students looked up and stared at them in awe. They had never seen such impressive beast gear in their life, and couldn't imagine just how much it would cost to own them.
Knowing that they were from the Truedream family, they would also have some impressive abilities. However, as most of the students looked at Mr. Truedream, they were quite disappointed. He wasn't wearing any beast gear, and he didn't give off the same presence as other leaders they had seen.
However, there were a few in the room who felt differently, they could feel a confidence exuding from his body, and one of these students was Fex. As he was looking at him he was starting to sweat, the site of Mr. Truedream reminded him of the thirteen vampire leaders. This was the presence of someone who was on top of the world.
"Many of you should know who I am but just in case, my name is Jack Truedream, leader of the Truedream family and also the owner of Dreamland City. I have a close relationship with the military and I visit every base each year. But I have to say out of all the military bases, this is my favourite one. I also seem to get the most and the best gifts delivered directly to my footstep here." Jack said with a smile.
"Did you hear that? He said were the best military base out there," A student whispered.
"Are you an idiot, he probably says that to all of the military basis he goes to," Another student responded.
"True, but still if we could get into his faction, we would be set for life. I hear he even provides free housing for all those in his city. As long as you join their team of course," The first student replied.
While the other students were excited to see Truedream, Quinn's group could see the other hidden message behind his words. Most likely those gifts he was talking about, were the students given to him right after this assembly. He was declaring it in the open, while no one knew what was happening.
While the speech continued on, from the bottom of Logan's sleeve one of the small mechanical spiders crawled down his shirt, and hopped off his shoe. It was the same size as a regular small spider, and made next to no noise as it moved about.
It continued to crawl across the floor until it had eventually reached the stage.
"Alright guys, it's all set," Logan whispered.
Jack then spoke his final words.
"In a month's time, I will be coming to watch all of you at the inter-military base event. Perform well and those that impress me will be given an extended invitation."
With that, the speech was over, and Jack walked off stage with his two guards behind him. Heading off to a location out of sight from all the students. While doing this the mechanical spider quickly followed along.
As Jack left the stage Duke returned, he had one last thing to say to everyone, "You heard the man, work hard so you can achieve a great future for yourselves. I expect our school to come out on top at the inter-military base event. Before I dismiss you all to enjoy the rest of your day off I would like these eight students to stay behind.
"Ray Dem, Howard Hubby, Wilfred Green, Sarah Beeswax, Michael Brisko, Amy Yellop, Peter Chuck."
After hearing Peter's name, everyone stomach sunk a little, this was it, they needed to get into action right after he called out the final name.
"And finally Erin Heyley, these students please stay behind, and come to the front of the stage. The rest of you may leave."

Chapter 201 To become the stronges
The students were starting to leave the room one by one. It was their day off and they didn't want to hang around in the assemble hall any longer than they needed to. Most of them were leaving with smiles on their faces, excited for the upcoming event.
With Jack mentioning and informing the students of his plans to be at the Inter military base event. They were now eager to impress him, and wanted to start practising right away. If Jack was to over them an invitation to join his family it would be a shortcut to the top.
Usually, unless one was extremely talented they would have to build a reputation for themselves from their own factions and work there way up. Nearly everyone, who wished to become a traveller had a goal of joining the big four.
Even if you created your own faction, it was beneficial to work under one of the big four, for protection from the others.
However, not all the students had smiling faces as they left the hall, there were some who didn't feel the same way.
"Hey, would you move," A student said as he accidentally bumped into Quinn on his way out.
"What was wrong with that guy?" Another student said.
Not moving from his spot, Quinn hadn't moved but he wasn't the only one who had remained motionless. After hearing the final name that had been called out, the whole group was shocked at what they had heard. For the final name was Erin.
As Logan waited outside he realised the others hadn't come out with him, so he took a bite of his sandwich, before he said, "Guys, come on, we need to start our plan straight away. I know this is a shock, but that doesn't stop us from the original plan, instead of saving one, now we just need to save two."
With Logan's words, the group quickly snapped out of it, and started to make their way out of the assembly hall with everyone else. Worrying about it or thinking why Erin was chosen wasn't going to do them any good. The more time wasted, the less likely the plan would work.
The students who had been called all had gone to the front of the stage, wondering what was going on. Peter was also upfront, but his expression hadn't changed much. He was informed of what was going to happen, and wasn't worried about it, he trusted his master, Quinn.
He would just do everything his master had told him to do, and everything would work out fine.
Erin, on the other hand, was panicking, her whole head was slightly swirling. 'They picked, me but why? Aren't I one of the top students? They would never pick a student as good as me right?' She thought to herself.
But the realisation had hit her, and her mask was starting to crumble away. The thoughts and memories she had kept within were starting to surface.
A few days ago, inside the second years head office, Duke had been given a bunch of files that matched the criteria they were looking for. That's when they stumbled upon Erin's file.
"Now this is interesting." He said. Erin was a level five student, and she also had quite an expensive ability too. She wasn't an original but the ice element ability was expensive to get a hold of, especially at level five so Duke wondered why she had been selected.
After reading the file everything started to make sense. Her family worked under one of the big four, and they had established a shelter on one of the orange portal planets. Because of the risk involved, the family had paid them well and had gained quite the status.
A few years had gone by and it looked like the exploration of the planet was nearly over. It was the main task that had been given to her family. They had done a good job getting rid of the few advanced tier beast that lived on the place.
Erin was eventually sent back to earth to finish her normal school education. She went to a good private school as her parents could afford it, and even bought her a strong ability, it was an opportunity which they never had.
The exploration of the planet had been completed, and Erin had gone back over the summer to celebrate with her parents. At last, they had moved up high enough in the family's ranks to obtain a place back on earth.
But on that fated day a Dalki ship had invaded the planet, the Dalki came and attacked. Seeing her family and friends raise up their weapons to fight, she wanted to help too. But before she could even join in the fight her father had stopped her.
"No Erin, you are not strong enough yet, now get out of here!" He screamed.
"But I can help!" Erin cried. "Just let me help you!"
"Look, I didn't want to say this, but you're weak. You will only get in our way!"
And at that moment, she witnessed her father being stabbed through the chest. As she stood there frozen, an old friend of her fathers managed to grab her and run away.
Her family did their best to protect all the civilians on the planet and even other factions that they once squabbled with over territory had come to help, but it wasn't enough, and all they could do was wait for help to arrive. At this point, nearly everybody that could fight had died. All of this havoc had been created by only two Dalki. However, the defenders had managed to kill one of them, but the other still remained alive.
The remaining Dalki had set its eyes on the emergency shelter, but just as it was about to attack, help had arrived. A female dressed in pure sparkling white came through the portal, and Erin saw her pass by. She fought against the Dalki on her own and was able to go toe to toe with it. The swordsmanship that had been displayed was light and silent. It was as if her feet never even touched the floor.
She would continuously parry the Dalki's attacks while dishing out attacks of her own in between, until eventually, she defeated it, and the Dalki had died.
Erin cried a lot that day, her tears wouldn't stop coming, she cried for all the people that had been lost. The women who had defeated the Dalki walked up to Erin, but unlike what the others thought should be said to a child, she didn't give any words of comfort to Erin, but only gave her the harsh truth.
"If you never want to see your family or friends die again, then you have to become stronger. You have to be the best, so nobody can take anything away from you. Because your tears won't bring your family and friends back."
And that was the last time Erin had seen her family or the strange female warrior.
She had been selected because she no longer had the backing her family once had. With everyone gone she had been sent a token gesture of money from one of the big four, just enough for her to live off of for the rest of her life, but the political protection their family had was now gone.
But what was the use? Money couldn't bring back the dead. The only thing that remained in her mind from that day were the words spoken to her by that strange woman. She would become the best!
Erin had chosen to live by those words that day and whenever she felt tired or wanted to give up, that same memory would come back to her. She needed proof that what she was doing was working.
She thought she had gotten better but the day they had met the Dalki once again, she had frozen in place and the only thing she could do was run.
Right now though, she was being led together with the others to a certain room, everything she had worked for up to this point, was all going to be taken away.
Following closely behind the row of students, was the mechanical spider Logan had sent after them. Right now Logan had returned to his room and he was monitoring the direction of the spider. He could see where they were heading and would be able to inform the others of what needed to be done.
He was also looking at a 3D map of the whole school. On it, there were several different indicators, each one being a different person from their group. The spider and Peter were different colours for clarity's sake.
"Okay, Fex. It looks like they're heading for one of the meeting rooms located on the second floor on the west side. Layla, you stay close behind him. Once you turn and reach the end of the corridor stay, and wait in position. The two guards are sticking to Jack like glue.
"When Quinn and Vorden are ready, and I give the command then you guys will move out. Understood everyone?"
"Understood." They replied.
Jack had entered the meeting room, and the eight students were following him in, one by one they entered the room. One of his guards had also entered the room with them while the other stayed outside, standing guard at the door.
Quinn and Vorden were at one side of the corridor, while Fex and Layla were at the other side patiently waiting for Logan's order.
'Alright Raten," Vorden said. 'Looks like you're up.'

Chapter 202 Falling asleep
The eight students were all lined up in one row in the meeting space. They stood straight, nervous all the while thinking just why they had been chosen to meet with Jack Truedream. Concurrently, Erin was doing everything to keep her cool.
As she looked towards her left, she could see Peter standing calmly beside her. Of course, he didn't have to worry about anything since his powers wouldn't be taken away. However, it was different for her. Constantly moving her head around the room, she was trying to see if there was any way for her to get out.
Although none of them was planning to sit down, there was a chair behind each of the eight students. Perhaps, they would be asked to sit the further they stayed inside the room.
It was a small meeting room that was used for one-on-one consultations. Currently, the students were standing in the centre while Jack was standing just in front of the desk with a single chair. Lingering by his side was the small guard dressed in a green armour.
As of the moment, the main problem for the escape was the large sentry guarding outside. Erin knew that the others were planning to try to get Peter out of this situation. For the sole reason that they had to, if they wanted to keep their matter with Quinn a secret. But now she wished she had stayed in the meeting room, so she would know what their plans were.
Maybe she could have even helped.
"Now, you might be wondering why you have all been brought here, in front of me, today," Said Jack. "It seems like, either one way or another, you have been all suspected of a dangerous crime. Though I have no knowledge what that crime is. Perchance, a part of a secret terrorist group or maybe plotting to go against the military. However, it is not my job to find that out because that's the school's responsibility."
Halting his speech, Jack slammed his hand on the table to inculcate the gravity of the situation to the students. He resumed his talk once he was done.
"The punishment that has been handed to you is to have your abilities taken away."
As soon as Jack said those words, a couple of students dropped to their knees, complaining, "But, I didn't do anything, this can't be right?"
Some of them cried while one student, who was closest to the exit, made a dash for it. Before he had even taken a few steps, he felt a stinging pain on the back of his neck. At that point, his head started to swirl and his vision slowly began to fade, until he sudennly collapsed on the floor.
"Oh my gosh! Is he dead?!" A student cried.
The others were unable to see it because of how fast everything had happened, but Erin had seen it all. The green guard had taken out what looked like a small needle and swirled it inside his mouth with his tongue. Now, laced with a tiny amount of what looked like green liquid, it was catapulted right at the student's nape.
"I hope nobody else tries that again," Jack said. "This process is meant to be quick and painless. Now, please sit down on the seats behind you. I don't want there to be any more accidents."
Each of the students did as they were told. They carefully watched the guard lift the student who was passed-out onto one of the empty chairs.
This was the deal-breaker for Erin. She had to do something otherwise she would lose her ability forever.
Hence, with a resolute countenance, she faced Jack and uttered, "But, we really didn't do anything sir," Erin said. "If you do this, people will find o about your made-up lies, we can just tell everyone the truth!"
"Oh, don't you worry about that, for once I take your abilities away, you shall all pay a special visit to the dungeon. The school will then report to the rest - what was it that you said? Right, made up lies. The most common one and accepted is usually you were all working for Pure. With that, the students' curiosity will disappear and with it, your existences."
The green armoured guard from earlier then started to walk over to the students. Erin was second to last along the row while Peter was sitting at the very end.
The guard had prepared some green liquid that was placed in some type of vial. He proceeded to place the liquid on the tip of his finger. Using his index, he would place it down right between the eyebrows, just above the nose, of the students.
Then, after a few seconds, the student would fall asleep. " A sleeping ability?" Erin mumbled.
"Ding ding ding, like I said, I'm not a monster. Although, by the time that you guys wake up, you will already be in the dungeon."
The guard had gone through the other students and it was finally Erin's turn. For a while now, she had been fumbling with something behind her back, waiting for Jack to get close, but he never did. He always stayed at a distance away.
When the guard went to place his finger on her head, she immediately swung out her arm, aiming for his temple. In her hand was a small dagger that had been formed from ice.
She knew the guard was strong and fast, but a blow with a sharp object would be able to take down most people no matter who they were.
To her dismay, the guard didn't react at all. He continued with his task, placing his finger on her forehead. Nevertheless, just before the dagger reached his head, with his other hand, he had grabbed it and crushed it to pieces. The speed was too fast, so she had never thought that it was possible to block an attack that close, unless one had a speed ability.
Still, she was sure that he was the one who had produced the sleeping agent - It was most likely from his blood. Which was why he had pricked the needle against his tongue. It was impossible for someone to have two abilities unless they were unlike Vorden.
This solely meant one thing. The beast gear he was wearing was at such a high level, it was able to boost the user's stats to the point where they no longer seemed human.
Accordingly, she was not able to resist, and a few seconds later, she was asleep like all the others.
Finally, it came to Peter's turn. Willingly, before the man had even placed his finger on his forehead, he had closed his eyes. He knew that just looking at these people would annoy him, but he needed to follow his Master Quinn's order.
Hence, he decided to keep them shut for now. Once the green liquid was placed on his head, all the students were ready.
Jack then looked at the green guard and cleared his throat out loud, signalling for the guard to leave.
"As you wish, sir." He said as he bowed down and left the room.
Now, standing outside as guard-on-duties, just by the door, were the two guards.
"Did he make you leave again." The large guard asked.
"Yeah, I don't know why. We all know how his ability works." The green man replied.
The mechanical spider remained inside the room while Peter's watch recorded everything. Logan was unsure whether the second guard would ever leave the room. Yet, for some reason, it seemed like Jack had asked him too.
This would make their job easier, but they had to act now.
"Everyone, go. Both guards are outside and only Mr Trudream and the students are inside!"

Chapter 203 Stolen Abilities
The group outside had recived the message from Logan to proceed. The first ones to make a move would be Fex and Layla and they had been on standby by waiting.
Right behind the two of them, were two random first-year students who had been brought along. These students were the same ones were form Fex's room, his roommates.
If it was anyone else being put in this situation, Fex probably would have felt guilty about what he was trying to make them do. But they were the ones who had attacked him first for no reason. So he couldn't think of any two more guilty to use.
When looking at their eyes, a slight tint of red could be seen. They starter to glow slightly stronger as Fex faced them and gave them a command.
A few seconds later and they were on the move. The two students turned the corner and started to bump into each other on the way. While this was happening, Fex would peak around the corner and twiddle his fingers away.
Eventually, the bumps turned into shoves as they continued their stride.
"Hey, what are you two doing? Get out of here!" The larger guard said.
But his words were useless as the two now were starting to shove each other stronger than before. Although it seemed a bit strange as there was no speech involved while performing these actions.
This was the limit to Fex's mind control. The more complex the instructions, the more likely the spell to break and fail.
The shoving had turned into a full blown fist fight. While doing so, they would inch their way closer to the two guards.
"If you guys don't scram out of here, my foot going to be shoved right into your backside!" The guard shouted this time.
They continued to ignore the guard's words, but it was more like they couldn't hear. Their mind was consumed with the last commend made by Fex.
Arms and legs were swinging out as the two continued to fight. Right now Fex was dwindling his fingers away faster than before, concentrating while the sweat ran down his forehead.
Controlling one person's set of movements with the strings was easy, but coordinating two and making it look realistic was tough.
He had attached strings to both of the students and given them the command to remain motionless so everything they were doing right now was down to him.
While everything was happening, Layla was to keep guard, making sure no one came down the hallway and saw them.
Now the two were fighting incredibly close, and Fex had to just pull one of his strings ever so slightly, causing an elbow to hit the large guard in the middle of his stomach.
"Huh, did it not hit, but I'm sure it did?" Fex was slightly confused. "He tugged on the string again, a little bit harder this time, elbowing the guard in the stomach again. Still, there was no reaction.
Although the elbow had hit the large man there seemed to be no reaction whatsoever. This was because of the heavy armour the man was wearing.
However, even though the attack didn't hurt, the rage on his face showed his anger. "You two!"
"It's time for them to get out of there." Pulling the strings back Fex started to dash down the hallway, the students began to imitate Fex's movements and ran off as well, following his direction.
The large guard followed them but was quite slow with his heavy gear. It seemed like one of the attributes it gave was not speed. Some users would choose to focus on a set of beast armour that specialised in one area. They would do this to make up what they were lacking for, or to strengthen their strengths.
Layla watched the two students turn the corner and were now running down the same hallway as Fex was running down just moments ago. Which meant soon the large guard would turn the corner too.
Next to her was a door leading to a classroom.
It was a Sunday, and nearly all the classrooms were empty as the staff, and most of the students had a day off.
"Oh, no." With nothing else to do, she went for the closest room, opening the door and stepping inside. She took a deep breath and held it in.
The sound of the large guard's footsteps could be heard, as he ran around the corner and continued to chase the two students.
Once the footsteps could no longer be heard, she stepped out of the room again.
As she turned to look around the corner, she noticed there was still another problem. The second guard was still standing outside. As long as he was there, Vorden and Quinn wouldn't be able to get inside.
She looked around to see if there was anything she could do, the only thing she could see was a plant pot down the hallway. Lifting it with her telekinesis ability, she started to levitate it in the air and floated it across the hall towards the green guard.
The guard spotted it floating about slowly coming towards him, but he remained there still. When the pot was finally in front of his face, he lashed out smashing it and allowing it to drop to the floor. Yet he still hadn't moved from his position.
"Looks like I'm just going to have to kick his arse!" Raten said.
"No Vorden, this whole plan, we need you to cause the biggest distraction inside, you know that." Quinn said. "leave this guy to me."
Inside the meeting room, Jack was preparing himself. He straightened up his tie on his suit and then liked around his lips, making sure they weren't too dry.
"This is the worst part," Jack said. He walked up to the first student and bent down, so the two were at eye level.
His head was now right next to the students. Grabbing the person by the head, he pulled it forward, pressing his lips against theirs. Suddenly, Jack could feel the energy, move from around the whole student's body start to enter into his own.
About thirty seconds had passed before Jack had removed his lips form the students. He then spat on the ground and wiped his lips with the sleeve of his shirt.
"Damn it, why did my ability have to work in such a way!" Jack said, annoyed. The only way Jack was able to take the ability of another, was to forcefully drain it from inside their mouths. He had tried and tested multiple ways, but some reason this was the only way that worked.
Some of the stronger abilities seemed to have certain restrictions. Similar to Vorden who had to touch the other user, and how it would only last up to twenty-four hours.
Still, there was nothing he could do about it, so he continued to go down the line pressing his lips against each student draining their abilities. After each ability had been drained, he could feel them lingering around inside his belly. Each of the forces were like little flames all a different from another.
Finally, he had reached Erin. "Now, here is someone I don't mind pressing my lips against," Jack said as he looked at Erin's delicate face and realised she was a true beauty. It was a shame she was still young; otherwise, he would have taken her back with him.
The energy flowed through Erin's body and slowly entered into Jack's. While doing so, a slightly cold sensation was felt inside. When he removed his lips from her, an icy breath was seen.
Her ability had been taken, and it now remained inside of Jack.
Now there was only one student who remained, and that was Peter. As Jack looked at him, he released that Peter wasn't an attractive sight at all. His face was sunken in, and he looked dehydrated almost like he was already dead.
In fact, if he didn't see him moving earlier, he would have thought he was dead. "Alright last one." Jack then moved his face closer to Peter, he closed his eyes as he went to press his lips.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Peter said…
His eyes were wide open, and he was staring Jack right in front of his face.
"You're awake, but how? I saw him use the sleeping agent on you!" Jack shouted as he pulled back away. He was panicking as he quickly went to go hide behind the desk.
"Kenny! Get in here right now, one of them is awake!" Jack shouted, he was panicking, frightened. A situation like this had never happened before.
Just as Kenny turned to open the door, a shadow raised up from underneath blocking his path.

Chapter 204 Saving
A Strange shadow had risen from the bottom of the door. Now it had completely covered it. A few seconds had passed, and it looked like some type of shadow hand had formed, reaching out to the Kenny, the guard in green beast gear. He quickly reacted taking a few steps back, not allowing the hand to touch him.
He had never seen anything like it before, so he made sure to be cautious. It was a phenomenon unknown to him, so first he needed to find out what it did, before he could act accordingly. He took a single needle and swirled it around in his mouth before throwing it towards the shadow, but when the needle hit, strangely enough, there seemed to be no reaction at all.
"What is this thing, is it some kind of ability?" This was not good, judging by the screams inside it was clear that one of the students was still awake, if they were using their ability right now, it could be the end of the Truedream family.
Of course it was Quinn, he had used his shadow cloak ability to sneak up to the remaining guard in the hallway, and when he heard Jack Truedream screaming for help, he had decided to distract the guard, to give Vorden a chance to sneak into the room and take care of Jack. When he started his shadow control ability, he had to drop his shadow cloak, so the guard was going to notice him any second now.
The guard started to look around to see if there was any other way into the room and that's when he spotted someone. A man dressed in all black suit of armour, wearing a demon mask covering his face. Even the top of his head was covered showing him the jagged white mechanical eyes of the suit.
"Is it you?" The guard said. He knew he had to get inside quickly, because of the main weakness his boss had. Which was that he couldn't use the abilities he took from others, he was only able to give them to other people. So at the moment, he was defenceless without his guards.
Quinn said nothing in response and started to dash forward, bringing the shadow from the door back to him, it was now hovering above him. The guard saw this, and immediately threw several needles but the shadow managed to block them all.
Quinn quickly moved to the side and pulled the shadow in close to him. Allowing the needless to pass through and continue down the hallway.
"Damn it, this is the problem going up against an original!" The guard was right. One of the main advantages one would have in a fight was knowing the ability of the other. Using the information Logan had given him, and his inspect skill. Quinn knew he couldn't chance getting hit by those needles.
He wasn't sure if his suit was strong enough to block them, so he would keep the shadow close to himself for protection.
When the guard saw that his needles were ineffective, he quickly pulled out his dagger, he was waiting for Quinn to get close. However, when they were around nine meters apart, Quinn jumped into the air spinning his body and then threw out a kick from the side.
[Blood crescent kick]
A large crescent shape line of red aura came out strong and fast. The man had never expected this, he thought because the shadow was only used for defence so far, it would now be used for an attack, so he was keeping a keen eye on the shadow's movements. But instead, it looked like his opponent was using a completely different ability.
He could do nothing but take the attack head-on, when the aura was directly in front of him he struck at the red aura, which then shattered and disappeared.
Quinn stood still for a moment. His new skill was one of his strongest attacks when comparing it to others. The only one stronger has his Blood Hammer. Still, the person in front of him was easily able to shatter it with his weapon, and there didn't seem to be a chip or anything on it.
Right now Quinn had to be incredibly cautious if he was to get out of here alive.
What he didn't know was, that at the same time the guard in green gear was having similar thoughts.
'What was that attack? It was so powerful?' He thought.
His hand was feeling numb from the impact of the blow, and it had taken a decent amount of strength for him to shatter that red aura.
"Who are you, you should know who we are, why are you attacking?" The guard tried to distract Quinn.
Quinn spoke into the mask which gave him an altered deep electronic voice. "We know what you have been doing. We from Pure have been following your actions for a while now. We're here to save those kids from you!" Quinn said.
Right now he was improvising on the spot, and Logan was helping him with what to say. The reason why Logan thought this would be their best option was so they wouldn't run an investigation on those closest to the kids.
In a way, it was true that Pure had informed them of Mr. Truedream's plans, but they weren't the only ones taking action. Knowing this they were less likely to think someone associated with the kids were trying to save them.
'Come on Vorden, hurry up.' Quinn thought.
While Quinn was busy dealing with the guard Vorden had snuck past and entered the room. Or rather it was Raten who was in control now. He was using an invisibility ability he took earlier, making it so he couldn't be seen.
As he entered the room, he saw the students slumped over in their chairs and Jack hiding behind the desk, while Peter was in front of him just looking at him.
"Go away, or you will regret this!" Jack shouted.
"Are you threatening me?" Peter asked, and for the first time, a slight smile appeared on his face. "You know if it wasn't for my master's orders you would be dead by now."
"I knew you were working for someone, tell me who it is and I'll spare you," Jack said his voice still feeling a little shaky.
Suddenly, Logan had an urgent message, "guys the guard chasing Fex has given up, and is now on his way back, you have to grab them and get out of there now! "
Raten then went to the corner of the room where one of the wooden shelves was displayed and activated his fire ability setting the whole thing alive with fire.
"Peter Grab, Erin and get out of here, Quinn's orders!" Raten shouted.
Peter did as he was told and picking up Erin quickly ran out of the room. But before Raten left he stared at Jack.
"Raten what are you doing I said not to touch him?" Vorden said "You know we don't have a clue about how his ability works, if it's like ours and we touch him, we might even lose our own. And then we would be defenceless. Maybe Erin's ability was taken but if ours gets stolen as well, we would become useless.
"I wasn't going to suggest that," Raten said. "I think we should kill him here and now. Then that way he will no longer be a problem."

Chapter 205 Result of no Truedream
MVS 205
The room was slowly heating up as the flame started to spread from one piece of furniture to the next. Soon the entire room would be engulfed.
Peter had already left the room carrying Erin over his shoulder. He followed Logan's instruction telling him where to go making sure to avoid the hallway where Quinn and Kenny were fighting right now. The directions he was giving them were to his own room. Right now, it was the safest place he could think of.
Unlike the other rooms that had routine check-ups now and then, Logan's room was different. It was off limits most of the time. This was a special request he made because of the number of different inventions he contained in there. Afraid at any point and time someone would come in and possibly take on of his ideas for profit.
At this point, the smoke had hit the detectors above, and the sprinklers had been activated. However, the flames were too strong to completely get rid of the fire. It could only slow them down for now.
Looking around the room, Jack before could only see the students who were asleep in their chairs and was wondering what had caused the fire. However, when the sprinklers had turned on, the drops of water bouncing off Raten formed a slight outline to be seen.
Raten had currently had not only the abilities of fire, but of invisibility as well.
The strange shape that Jack could see was standing right in front of him, if it wasn't for this, he would have made a dash for the door.
Raten had made the suggestion to kill Jack, but Vorden knew this wasn't an option. The simple reason was the balance of the current world right now. If Truedream were to die, it would go back to what it was like straight after the war.
When the war had ended, Earth was a mess. Ruined cities, the low population of animals and a lot of the land had sunken into the sea. The whole human race had been struck with poverty. Only there was a big difference now, they had powers.
This caused more infighting to happen than ever, and there was no control put in place. Eventually, the rise of the three families had come to create some type of order. But the relationship between the three of them wasn't the best either, and the fighting continued.
The military had power, but they weren't strong enough. They would have many people switching sides between them and the three families. That's why when Truedream had come to them seeking support, it was a blessing. It was someone the military could use to keep everyone in place, and it was why the current system had been put in the first place.
If Truedream was to be taken out of the picture, the military power would weaken, and the power balance would be upset, leading to another civil war. But that wasn't what worried Vorden the most. Civil wars happened, and in the end, there would often be a result.
The problem was if the Dalki was to see this. If the humans were fighting each other, they would come to invade as soon as possible.
For the sake of the current human race, Truedream was someone who needed to live, no matter how evil of a person he was.
Vorden tried his best to explain this to Raten, but right now he didn't care he was in charge.
"I disagree," Raten said. "If the human race can't survive without one person, then maybe we shouldn't be alive in the first place." Raten had set his hand ablaze and threw a punch right towards Jack.
All Jack could see right now was a floating arm of fire. He tried his best to move out of the way, but the attack was clearly too fast.
As his hand full of flames was about to hit, a slight reflection could be seen in front of Jack. "What the…" His hand had touched the reflection, and it felt like he was hitting a solid wall. A mysterious force then moved from the point where he had hit, and it seemed to bounce off right back at Raten.
"Hugo?" Jack said. As he turned his head, the large guard, wielding the two-handed axe had entered the room. "Well, we know someone is getting a raise."
"Damn!" With nothing else left to do, Raten quickly headed for the corridor. He didn't know Hugo's ability nor how strong he was. He loved fighting but wasn't crazy enough not to know when his chances were against him.
"Hugo the door!" Jack screamed.
Hugo held out his hand, and another reflection appeared just in front of the door. But it was too late. Jack could see the figure moving through the sprinklers water, and it was clear it was no longer in the room with them.
"Damn it! You were too slow, forget about that Raise let's get out of here."
As Raten ran down the hallway, he could see Quinn was still busy dealing with the green guard Kenny. "I'm leaving!" He shouted.
And that was the signal for Quinn to disappear as well. Using his shadow cloak skill, Suddenly he had disappeared right in front of Kenny's eyes. A few seconds later and Jack and Kenny had immediately come out of the room.
"Where the hell are they, find them now, and find that girl and boy. I want them both dead you here me!" Jack shouted.
Instead of listening to Jack's words though, Kenny immediately ran back into the room they had exited from. He ignored both Jack and Hugo. The fire was still burning in the room, and the students were still asleep under his abilities effect. He lifted two of them on each shoulder and took them out of the room, placing them on the ground gently.
He then did the same with the other four, and eventually, guards had arrived to help extinguish the fire.
Jack then walked up to Kenny, he lifted his hand and whacked him across the face giving him a big slap. "Did I say to save those students lives, you let them getaway. If you don't have any information or good news, you know what will happen to you."
While looking at the kids all safe out of the room, Kenny had a smile on his face. Although Jack was unable to see this due to the mask covering his mouth. "Sir, it seems like there were a few of them. I'm not sure how many but there were at least two of them. They claimed to be from Pure and were trying to save the kids."
"Pure, they've been tailing me for months but never acted out, this is a first for them. I thought I was safe here, so I didn't bring anything with me. We'll head back for now, I can't risk staying here any longer." Said Jack. "But before we go, send a report to Duke. They want to save the kids that badly, well I won't let them have their way. If Duke is to find either of those two students, they are to be sent to me immediately, you understand you two!"
"Yes, sir!" They both said.
As the three of them walked off, Logan's mechanical spider had done the same. It had also listened to all the words that had been spoken form Jack's mouth.
After a few minutes, everyone had entered and returned to Logan's room. Vorden, Peter, Layla, Fex, Quinn and Erin where all inside but Erin was lying on the bed still under the sleeping spell.
"We did it!" Layla shouted. "I can't believe we really got them two out of there."
"Man, that big guy was scary," Fex said. "For a second I thought he wasn't going to give up and he moved pretty quick for a big guy."
"I wouldn't celebrate just yet guys," Logan said. "It seems like we have a problem."
Logan then played the recording of the mechanical spider. It stated that Truedream would order the school to bring Erin and Peter back even if they were found.
They had hoped claiming they were from Pure perhaps Jack, would let the whole matter go and aim his anger at them, but it seemed to have the opposite effect.
"So what are you saying, Logan?" Vorden asked. "That we have to hide both Erin and Peter forever. We can't do that in the military base, that's just not possible, sooner or later will slip up."
The group remained silent as each one thought about what to do. So far, they had always managed to come up with a plan to get out of this one.
It wasn't like they didn't think this could happen, but the problem was they had concentrated so much in saving their two friends, they didn't think about what to do after.
Of course, the school wouldn't just let them go. They knew the truth about Jack, so the best-case scenario was for them to end up in the dungeon, but now probably something even worse would happen to them if they were found out. Quinn's secret was kept but at what cost?
The anger of the big four. The loss of Erin's ability.
As Layla looked around the room, she could see everyone had a look of defeat on their face. Even the genius Logan hadn't come up with a solution. She then looked at Erin, who was sleeping away, her dear friend who had looked out for her this whole time. Although Erin might not have seen her as a friend, Layla did. She couldn't let Jack get her hands on her.
There was only one thing she could think of to get them out of this.
"Guy's, I have a solution, but…please I just don't want you to hate me after this." Layla said.

Chapter 206 Pure be with you
Layla's hands were visibly shaking and her legs were starting to feel weak, beginning to wobble. Her heart was pounding vigorously and the beating sounds were so loud that she couldn't even hear her own voice.
'Is this really the right thing to do?' She thought, but she had already articulated those words. Right now, all attention was focused on her.
"Why would we hate on you, Layla?" Quinn said. "If you have anything that can help us get out of this situation, then it will be fine."
Layla looked at Erin on the bed one more time, contemplating, 'If it's them they'll understand.'
Upon coming to a decision, she opted to tell the others about her circumstances.
"I know a place, one where a group of people that will be able to keep her safe from all of this is located." She paused for a moment before saying the last words. "I'm from Pure. I was the one who wrote that letter."
"I knew it!" Vorden shouted. "Of course, she was hiding something. Why else would she willingly help and accept the truth of your identity? They probably wanted to use you for some reasons."
"That's not true!" Layla snapped back." They don't even know about Quinn. I didn't ask for this! I didn't ask for any of this." Layla said as tears started to run down her face.
Quinn then intervened, placing himself in between Layla and Vorden. Observing the situation, it seemed like Vorden was going to lash out at her any second if someone didn't interfere soon. He proceeded to lead her over to the bed and sat her down next to Erin.
"Sorry guys, but can someone explain to me what or who Pure is?" Fex said, bearing a confused look on his face, as he stood in the corner of the room.
"I'm glad you asked," Logan said, spinning his chair around to procure a file. Then, he opened it while uttering, "I had prepared for this after I saw Layla dropping off the note in the morning."
"You knew?" Vorden said, surprised. "Why didn't you tell us?"
"Was it important to the mission?" Logan replied. "Regardless if she was part of Pure or not, it was thanks to her information that we were able to get those two out of there. True, she might have an ulterior motive, but why would she reveal herself now? There is no need to unless she truly wishes to help."
Although Logan knew there was truth in his words, he couldn't help but think of the fact that she had kept it as a secret for this long. It was contrary to Quinn's prompt revelation that he was a vampire. Something just didn't feel right about that and the things he had heard about Pure weren't the best.
In an instant, a projection was seen playing a myriad of different videos. It was mostly of people wearing a type of mask that covered their whole face - All with a figure of an angel that looked like it had its wings removed. It was the mark of Pure.
In the video, it showed multiple explosions as attacks on certain buildings and different factions were being conducted. It wasn't a pretty sight at all.
"Let me warn all of you. What you are seeing now is pretty biased. The only information I can get of them is filtered through the military. However, nearly everyone knows of the basics. Pure has only one goal - To get rid of all abilities. They believe that the world and the system currently in place is wrong. Even before abilities were introduced, there were many who complained about the gap between the rich and the poor. However, they feel like now, even the basic human rights don't exist to those with weaker abilities." Logan explained.
"Which is pretty stupid, if you ask me," Vorden said. "It was only thanks to those with abilities that we were able to battle the Dalki. If we get rid of them, what do they want us to do? There are only a few people who would be able to kill beasts without the use of abilities in the first place. To then later make equipment to fight them. That is unless you're not human, of course."
These reasons were why Vorden was so suspicious of Layla. It made sense to him - There exists a stronger being that didn't rely on abilities. Although even the vampires had different levels, Vorden wouldn't put it past Pure to not think ahead.
"Wait, there is something that I don't understand," Fex said. "If Pure is a group of people who hate abilities and Layla is one of them, then why does she have an ability?"
They soon released that Fex's words were true. it was a bit hypocritical of a group who hated abilities to have people within the place with them.
Everyone then turned to look at Layla as they coveted to hear the answer.
"I didn't mean to deceive any of you. My situation here is quite complicated." Layla began to reason out. "As Logan explained, you all know what our goal is. As of the moment, the world is in balance, but the main culprit of the system in place is with the military. However, the only reason they can enforce the rules is because of Truedream. At the same time, Turedream is a blessing for Pure. For he's the only person that can take anyone's ability away."
Layla sighed after her lengthy explanation as she gazed one each and every one of her comrades, continuing her speech once a few seconds had passed.
"Trudream often visited this military base. We have agents stationed at every base so far, but only at this one did they never come back. Accordingly, they wanted a student to infiltrate it."
"And they sent a kid?" Vorden explained. "Seems like a good place to send Erin then, doesn't it?"
"I volunteered!" Layla shouted, yet her eye slightly twitched when she said those words. Because the truth was she didn't volunteer for this mission, but her mother offered her own daughter for her own benefit. "Look, this isn't about me and Pure. This matter is about Erin. Right now, she doesn't have an ability, Trudream has been known for doing this to people and we've taken them in, though we still looked out for them. We will do the same for Erin."
Vorden then dragged Quinn towards the side and whispered in his ear. "You're not really considering this, are you? For Erin and Peter to go over to Pure?"
Quinn was struggling in arriving at a conclusion. He was pretty sure that Layla meant no harm, yet putting his friends in the hand of strangers and sending Peter would be a huge risk. His evil nature, without Quinn by his side, would take over. Moreover, if they ever find out who he was, it would be no better than the school finding it out.
Nevertheless, it was different with Erin. Henceforth, Quinn shifted his stare towards Logan, asking, "Logan, don't you have everything recorded? Can't we just use that as blackmail against Truedream? Spread it on the internet or something."
"Impossible," Logan replied without delay. "You remember the reports I brought up earlier? It's clear that the military has a monopoly on what can be seen and what cannot. It would be taken down in an instant, and no one would want to host such a thing. They would be going up against two powerhouses. No one has the power to go up against them. I'm sorry but I wouldn't even want to risk the safety of my family by angering them."
When Logan enlightened the actuality, Vorden started to think about his own family. If it was them they could do something about it. The sole problem was that he wasn't on good terms with them at all. No one in his family would listen to him, much more do him a favour - It wasn't the Blade's family way.
It was why he had never considered it an option in the first place.
"I think we have no other choice," Quinn said. "For Erin, the best thing for her will be to go over to Pure. The two of them are close and if Layla wanted to hurt any of us, the last person she would hurt would be Erin."
"Wait! Only Erin?" Layla inquired. "But what about Peter? he can come to."
Quinn shook his head as he looked at Peter.
"He can't, and Vorden and Fex probably already know the reason why," Quinn explained. "Peter has changed, Layla. If he isn't next to me, then there's no telling what he would do."
Layla then looked at Peter. Although his physical appearance had changed a little, she hadn't been around him lately to notice any further changes. Still, when she looked into his eyes, she noticed that they were lifeless.
"Okay, so Erin goes to Pure," Vorden stated. "What about Peter?"
Quinn's mind had already been muddled as he tried to think of solutions, but at that moment, he was out of ideas. The only thing they could do was to hide him for as long as possible or they could opt to utilize Vorden's favourite suggestion.
"Quinn we could always..."
"Don't say it Vorden" Quinn cut him off shortly before had finished his sentence. knowing very well what Vorden was going to suggest.
"I believe I have a solution to your problem with Peter." The system said.

Chapter 207 A new ability
Just when Quinn was in the middle of contemplating what to do with Peter. It seemed like the system had an answer. Although, whenever the System seemed to chime in, it was never usually straight-up good news, so he was a little nervous.
"What do you mean you have an idea for Peter?" Quinn asked.
"The main issue right now is the fact that your faces cannot appear in the school anymore. At the same time, Peter won't be able to leave the military base due to the fear of him running wild. But we have one solution available for Peter that will solve both of these problems."
The system explained.
Now, Quinn was waiting for the worrisome part.
"He can learn a transformation ability. Ever since you turned him... He lost his original powers and his body is now different from what it once was, meaning he can now learn another ability."
"But I thought you said we had to find a specific ability that could be learned for vampires. Just like mine with the shadow book. At the time not a single one reacted when I touched it only the shadow one did." Quinn asked.
"Perhaps I need to remind you once again. What I said was that there are certain abilities that only vampires can learn, and at the same time there are abilities that only humans can learn. However, there are also abilities that are in the middle, somewhere in between, and one of them is the transformation ability."
The transformation ability wasn't a popular ability with the general public. It gave the user nothing extra that could aid them in combat.
Therefore, it was looked down upon by a lot of the people.
Still, it did have its uses.
With the transformation ability, one could alter their face, and look like another.
This meant it was often used for infiltration or spying. The problem was whenever these people were discovered, they would nearly be killed in an instant due to the fact that transformation ability does not grant them any offensive capabilities at all, or even defensive.
"Why didn't you suggest this before?" Quinn asked.
"Before, I felt like it would be more beneficial for you to wait for a more powerful ability to pop up. One that would make you and Peter stronger. But right now, it's more important than anything at this moment that Peter wouldn't be caught." The system explained.
Quinn then explained to the others what his plan was with Peter. How he still hadn't learned an ability so he could still learn the transformation ability. Still, there was one problem with the whole thing and that relied on Logan.
Quinn needed Logan's help... Even if Peter could disguise himself — If he appeared as a new student the entire school would know, and he also couldn't pretend to be someone else since that would be too obvious.
"So what do you think Logan?" Quinn asked. "Will you be able to hack into the school system and add his ID."
"The problem isn't whether I can do it or not Quinn." Logan replied. "Obviously I can. That's like asking if a bee can make honey. The problem is making it all seem natural. Say there are five hundred first year students. Then one day suddenly there are five hundred and one students. The new kid turns up to class and everyone is just meant to accept it. It won't work."
Once again, the group were deep in thought.
"I have an idea," Vorden said. "When we went to the planet Caladi and the Dalki attacked us. Didn't they say they couldn't find three of the students' bodies."
"That's right," Layla replied. "They assumed they had died somewhere deep in the desert and their bodies eaten."
Hearing this started to bring back memories for Quinn. The truth was the Dalki hadn't killed them. It was him that killed them. Although no one knew about this fact yet.
"Well, once Peter learns the transformation ability, why don't we get him to look like one of those students. We can have him appear back near the portal and say he had gotten lost in the desert and had only come back now." Vorden asked.
"Now, that is big brain thinking." Logan said. He then hopped onto his computer and went over to the market place in search for a transformation ability book. It had to be one of a high level to be able to get the finer details right in the face structure.
It didn't take long for Logan to find one, due to how unpopular the skill. It seemed to be a level 5 skill which was perfect. It would be good enough for Peter to look nearly identical to one of the students and with Peter's mutant cells being slightly different it wouldn't show his real level on the watch anyway.
Only displaying the fake number Logan had inputted.
"Ability book purchased!"
"Hey, Logan... You didn't have to do that, I could have paid for it." Quinn said feeling bad at how much money Logan had spent on him now.
"Don't worry Quinn. I'm involved in this too now and if I didn't want to do it, I would have kicked you all out of this room. Besides who said I wasn't keeping a tab? I do have to warn you that I do charge quite the interest." Logan said.
It was hard for Quinn to tell whether Logan was joking about the whole thing or not.
When he said those words his expression never changed once. But Quinn would have liked to think he was cracking a joke, it was nice seeing Logan trying to fit in. But this was a different matter… Quinn also didn't want his wallet to take a hit.
After purchasing the book and imputing the code, it had arrived in only a few seconds right into Logan's room.
"It will probably take him a few weeks or so for him to learn it," Logan said. "For now he can stay in my room. Luckily he doesn't need any food or anything so as long as he stays here he'll be fine."
Quinn didn't like the idea of that. He could imagine either Peter accidentally touching one of Logan's prized possession and getting a laser beam shot through his chest. Or Logan would say something that caused Peter to snap.
"Let me try something," Quinn said as he walked over and grabbed the book himself.
[Level 5 Transformation Ability book obtained]
[Would you like to store the book?]
[No]
[Option to use the ability book on Family member (Peter)]
[Would you like to use?]
Although Peter didn't have a system ability Quinn had a feeling something like this might just work. His family was linked through the system. The system had also mentioned if Peter and Quinn were fighting near each other, Quinn would get the Exp for it.
So, it gave Quinn hope that just maybe something like this would work...
"Maybe we won't have to wait after all." Said Quin as he accepted the system's suggestion.
The book floated in the air and flew over to where Peter was. The pages turned and turned until it hit the very last one. Then the book started to disintegrate in front of everyone's eyes.
[Peter Chuck has successfully learned the ability (Transform)]
"Peter do you want to try transforming into me?" Quinn asked.
As a tester, Peter did just that and slowly his face started to reshape and reform into a second Quinn. It was nearly perfect. There wasn't enough of a difference for someone to notice using their eye.
The others watching were amazed by this. Logan was the only one in this room that had an idea of what just happened. While Vorden and Layla had put it down to vampire stuff they just didn't understand the specifics of what just occurred in front of them.
However, there was one other vampire in the room that had just seen Quinn do something that he had never seen another vampire do before. Just like humans, vampires usually had to take time to learn the abilities that they wanted to learn. Yet he had just witnessed, a vampire actually learned an ability in an instant.
'Just who are you Quinn?' Fex thought.
At that moment, groans could be heard in the room behind them all. As they turned around, it seemed that Erin was about to wake up.
It was now time to tell her, what her fate was going to be.

Chapter 208 Peter's change
On display inside the room were three different profiles being projected outward from Logan's computer. It was showing information about the three missing students from the Dalki attack. Since the transformation skill was at level five, Peter was only able to imitate a person's facial structure.
There wasn't anything he could do about a person's height or physical appearance. This also meant that he wouldn't be able to pretend to be a girl unless one had the same body type as his. Higher-level transformation ability would allow him to do this in the future but they weren't available on the market place.
Logan decided to look at the height details and images trying to select the best one that would suit Peter.
Out of the three, there were two that matched Peter the closest. Now when making a decision between which one, Logan opted for the one with less background information and with an ability they could pass off and wouldn't cause too much trouble. Their options were a wind user or the duplication user. In the end, ee decided to go for the duplication ability user.
it was the best option for them, Peter would no longer have to go to the elemental class and try to pretend to be able to use a certain type of ability. This would make Vorden's job a lot easier. And he would also be able to join Quinn's beast weapon class allowing him to keep a close eye.
Hearing this, Quinn wanted to protest the idea. Out of the three men from Ben's group that had attacked him in the desert that day. Two had died while one had lived. That was the same person they were suggesting Peter act as.
Quinn had left him in the desert after removing his memory, but he never came back nor did the search party find him. Perhaps while he was laid on the desert floor a beast really did come and kill him.
After thinking about it, he released if he hadn't come back now the chances were really low of the person returning. He was most likely already dead.
Peter looked at the screen and carefully started to morph his face. The student had medium length brown hair, and one of the finer details about him was he would often wear a bandana that cut off one side of his hair while the other remained up.
Finally, Peter would no longer go by his own name while in the school and now would be known as Pio Blank.
Quinn took a long stare at Peter and released this might have actually been the better option for him. If he was to look at Peter, a person he had killed or seen die right in front of him day in and day out, he really wouldn't know how that would make him feel.
While this all was happening, the groans from the back were heard as Erin lifted her body off the bed and started to touch her head. It was ringing with dull pain and her face felt slightly numb similar to a migraine.
When she looked up she could see the faces of everyone staring at her and a person she had never seen before.
"Who the heck is the new guy." Erin groaned out still not fully there.
No one said a word and after a few moments, she started to remember everything that happened to her. Her last words with Jack and what he had planned to do with them.
"No! No! No!" She started to scream. There was no need for her to try to use her ability. She could feel that it was no longer with her. But just in case she tried to form ice in her hand. Again and again but there was no result.
"Calm her down, before someone outside hears us," Vorden said.
Layla quickly rushed over to her side but Erin couldn't help but scream in anger and sadness. The others had never seen this side of Erin before. It was different for most of them who had been weak their whole life. If their powers were taken away it wouldn't make much of a difference.
But for Erin, she was high up. Of course, the others didn't know the full story and just how much everything meant to her. Losing her ability felt like she had lost everything. All she had left was her swordsmanship and after meeting Fex she could tell she was nothing special.
"Do you really want us to be caught?" Logan said as he threw out a circular device towards Erin. The device opened up mid-air just before reaching her mouth and wrapped around it like a tight fit mask. The screams had stopped but the tears still continued to run down her face.
"Erin, I know you are upset but right now your situation involves all of us," Logan explained. "I can't have your selfish actions harm me or the others, now Layla, I believe you would be the best person to explain to her what we have planned."
While Erin's mouth was covered, it was a lot easier for Layla to explain. It gave no option for Erin to complain in between and allowed Layla to explain everything. How Jack had sent out a search party for her and Peter, how she was part of Pure and they would be sending her to Pure for protection.
Logan then walked up to Erin and had a few words to say himself before taking the device off her mouth.
"Now if you scream, it goes back on. The situation is not favourable for any of us and please trust me. We went through all the options. I even looked into your background and thought about seeing if we could send you back to your family. But that's not possible.
"Staying with Pure is the only option we have." Logan took off Erin's wristwatch and made a few adjustments to it before placing it back. "We are a bit wary of Pure so if you need any emergency help, you can contact me through that, although I doubt we will be able to do anything. Do you understand?"
Erin nodded calmy. Rather than angry or sad she seemed to be going through a different stage right now of shock. As soon as the mask was taken off she started to look at Layla.
"Will you be coming with me?" Erin asked with pain in her voice.
Layla looked in her eyes and held both of her hands before shaking her head. She knew the next words would hit her hard. "No I can't, I still have my mission here," Layla replied.
At that moment Erin snapped her hands back. Everything was getting a little too much for her. Her abilities had been taken, she was being treated as a convict by the school, Jack was possibly after her life and now she had no choice but to join a terrorist group.
Yet, why did this have to happen to her, was it just her bad luck, then she started to remember there was one more person who was going through something similar.
"What about Peter, will he be coming along with me as well?" Although Erin did get along with Peter, if she was going through this struggle with someone she knew, it would at least be better then going through it alone.
The student who Erin didn't recognize stood next to Quinn then stepped forward and his face started to morph back into his old self.
"But how, didn't he used to have an earth ability?" Erin asked. "How did he learn that?" The sound of a little excitement and hope could be felt in her voice.
"That's because Peter is no longer human," Quinn explained. "When a human turns into a vampire or vampire subclass they lose their old ability as their body changes. Logan's guess is it has something to do with the cells in the body being different. Essentially it's like getting a new body so Peter was able to learn a new ability."
Hearing these words from Quinn's move suddenly gave Erin an idea. She had lost her ability but not all hope was gone. If what Quinn was saying was correct, there was a chance for her to get her powers back.
She stood up from the bed and said… "Quinn, I want you to make me a Vampire. I want you to turn me like how you turned Peter."

Chapter 209 Someone on the inside
After hearing about how Peter was able to obtain a new ability, in her haste, Erin started to gain hope once again. If there was a way for her to get it back, a chance to return to her former self, then she would take it.
Before she would have never considered it. There were too many downsides she saw both Peter and Quinn deal with. As long as she grew her ice abilities slowly with higher grade ability books, or if she was to find a good teacher. She would be able to progress up the ranks and eventually become a force to be reckoned with.
Still, right now, that wasn't the case and her best option was right in front of her. What she didn't realize though was the grave mistake that she had just committed. When asking Quinn to turn her, she had mentioned a particular detail that someone in the room wasn't quite sure about.
Even now Quinn was peeking at Fex out of the corner of his eyes. Seeing just what his reaction might just be. Many times before Fex had mentioned the fact that he thought Peter had been created by an irresponsible leader.
However, Fex didn't have much of a reaction. He continued to stand there no different to before. The reason being that he had already assumed Quinn was the one who turned Peter. He wouldn't have been so loyal without his master by his side. It also explained why Quinn wasn't so trusting of Fex in the first place other than his shadow ability.
Peter was illegal and if the council ever found out about Peter. Both of them would be executed. The reason why Fex didn't have much of a reaction to what Erin was suggesting though was actually because of their Vampiric limits.
Even without the laws, a regular Vampire could turn at most one person. Someone like Fex could turn two and he would be given permission to do so when he ascended to the Noble rank. He knew Quinn's strength and never thought he would be able to turn more than one person so Erin's suggestion meant nothing.
Seeing that Fex wasn't making a big deal out of everything, Quinn decided to continue on. "Erin even if I wanted to I can't. It wouldn't change the situation we are in" Quinn explained.
"What do you mean?" she asked, slightly annoyed taking a step forward.
It seemed like Erin was starting to regain her snappy confidence back, but Quinn could also tell this meant her emotions were all over the place and she was still very much unstable.
Taking a step back, Quinn tried his best to explain.
"First I think you're forgetting the main issue here. It isn't that your ability was stolen from you, but it's the fact that the school and Jack are after you. Either way, we need to hide you somewhere and going to Pure is the best option.
"If I was to turn you and you were to turn into a ghoul like Peter, or maybe something else. Once they found out who knows what they would do to you?"
Although Layla felt a little hurt about the others talking badly about the organization she was in, at the same time she couldn't really dispute and argue her case. If they did find out Erin was a type of Vampire they didn't know about. Who knows what they would do to her, even Layla didn't know.
" And the last issue, say you turned into a vampire, then what? Do you really want the same ability as Peter? To transform. I would have thought you would have at least wanted something similar if not better than your ice abilities."
"Fex can just teach me his string ability, or your shadow ability looks nice as well." Erin snapped back. Forgetting about the first point Quinn had made and only focusing on the fact that Quinn was able to help her gain power.
What Erin didn't know was Quinn had learnt his ability through an unusual method. He hadn't practised the techniques written down in a book. Everything just worked through the system. There was no way for him to explain or teach someone how to use the shadow ability.
And unless Erin was a part of Fex's family. He wouldn't be happy to teach her to use his strings either.
"Perhaps I should take over the explaining," Logan said as he moved forward. "The reason Peter got the transformation ability in the first place, was so he could hide in plain sight. We are currently using one of the missing male students from the planet Caldi.
If you did change your mind and gave in, ending up with the transformation ability, it would still be impossible to hide you, Erin. There have been no missing female students since the start of the term. They find you, and you will be taken to the dungeon. If Pure find out that you have been turned into a vampire, you will probably experience an even worse fate."
Hearing their explanation wasn't calming Erin down at all but instead, it was making her feel drained and defeated. She thought that perhaps Quinn was her scapegoat.
"What's the point of me being protected by Pure, am I meant to just be some type of princess that can't fight for herself?" she complained.
"It won't be like that," Layla replied. "There are many people in Pure who are of equal strength to those with powers to the outside. look at our Leader for a clear example."
The Pure leader was well known around the world and that was mainly because of one reason. They were one of the only two people currently in the world to possess a demon class weapon. The highest tiered beast weapon that is currently known.
Right now Quinn could see that Layla was acting rash. And perhaps wasn't thinking properly so he thought there might be just one thing he could say to calm her down.
"Why don't we make a deal?" Quinn said. "Stay with Pure for now, once this whole thing blows over or we finish school, come back to me. If you still wish for me to turn you into a vampire then I will. Please understand Erin, none of us can do anything when we are dead."
She looked into his eyes for a while before eventually giving his answer, and finally shook Quinn's hand. "Sometimes you actually make some sense," she said.
Finally, the matter had been settled and a plan set. Peter would at some point appear in the portal room, claiming to be Pio, the student who had gone missing on the last outing. While Erin would go to Pure for now, then perhaps return to Quinn's side in the future.
"What do we need to do to send Erin to Pure then?" Vorden asked. "It's not exactly like we can just walk out the front door of this place. Students have tried leaving before and it's nearly impossible."
"Logan do you have an answer?" Quinn asked.
"Unfortunately not," Logan replied. "These military bases are strange. Quite honestly, even I don't know where we are located at the moment. I can disable the tracker and you can try going outside, but we need a vehicle of some sort or maybe we might need a ship depending on where we are."
"We have Pure members stationed on nearly every Planet, except for a few red planets," Layla said. "We won't need to go outside but just get Erin to the portal room."
"That's no good," Logan said. "It seems like after the incident last time with a couple of students being pushed into one of the portals. They have been stricter about the security there."
Vorden and Quinn gave each other a quick glance before both turning their heads at Peter.
While looking around the room and for a solution, Fex spotted the strange square-shaped device that was located in Logan's room. He noticed it almost instantly. It was a teleporter but not just any type. It was the same type of teleporters they used on his own planet.
But this wouldn't be of any help to them at all. The last place Fex wanted to go to was back home, and the others would be made into food in an instant if they were taken there. He did, however, decide to make note of where it was just in case he ever did decide to go back.
"How about Fex's mind control?" Erin said. "Couldn't he tell them to go away or remove their memories."
"If they are adults it would be much harder than before," Fex replied. "Besides, right now I'm guessing there will be a lot of people covering that area. If I wanted to get out of this place the portal room would be the first place I would think of too. So there's no way we can pull off something similar like we did against Truedream again. Not unless we had someone on the inside."
The last words Fex had spoken gave Quinn an idea. It was a risky one but he had a gut feeling that he would be able to help. He was already keeping a huge secret of Quinn's so there was already some trust between them, and he felt like if there was one person that was on the right side of justice, it would be him.
"Then we have no choice," Quinn said. "We need to ask Leo for help."

Chapter 210 Will he help?
The words that had come out of Quinn's mouth came as a surprise to all of them. This included even Vorden who felt like he was the closest to him.
"Why would you suggest that?" Vorden said. "Leo is a sergeant, and although he isn't under Duke, he is under Nathan, who is ultimately under Paul, the head general. It's clear that Leo is working for them or at least he takes his direct orders from them."
It was a simple deduction that Vorden had made, and it would be right to assume so. But Quinn didn't believe it.
"Well, maybe I can change your mind about him," Quinn said. "First of all, I'm pretty sure he knows I'm a vampire; let me change that. I'm a hundred percent sure he knows I'm not human, and the same could be said for Fex and Peter."
"Wait a minute," Erin called out. "Is that why he gives you special treatment. It's starting to make sense now that I think about it."
"I'm not sure about that one," Quinn said, letting out a chuckle. "But I'm sure his ability has something to do with it. He knew I was different from the beginning and has safeguarded my secret until this day. Leo is different from the other teachers. He once asked me something, inquiring about whose side I was on. It started to make me think and wonder about a couple of things."
Leo himself doesn't align with the military; he is on the side of humanity. This was what he was checking up on with me that day. As long as there is a threat to humanity, he will protect us."
Logan then quickly hopped onto his computer and started to type away, checking to see if there was any information he could bring up on Leo, if at all.
"So, is this a hunch?" Vorden inquired. "Isn't it too risky to go on this journey just based on a hunch?"
"I too am in favour of talking to Leo; I think it is a good idea," Erin added. "I agree he's different from the other teachers. Remember how he saved us from the Dalki attack that one time? And during our lessons, he would continuously give me tips about my swordsmanship. Also, it seemed he treated everyone the same, no matter what. The way he acted just doesn't fit in with the way the world is right now. Usually, a teacher would choose to focus only on the promising students trying to please the upper ranks, but he never did anything of the sort.
"I respect him as a teacher, and if me leaving this place is based on whether or not we can trust Leo, then I would bet on him over any of the other teachers."
"Isn't Leo the guy I fought with?" Fex said. "I mean if it's him, he seemed like a pretty cool guy."
"I know, but we don't go trusting people based on how cool they are," Vorden replied back.
"I guess you're right," Fex replied. "Otherwise, you guys would have trusted me from the beginning, right?" He said as he swiped back a single strand of hair that had appeared in front of his face.
Once again, Logan projected the information about Leo onto the screen. Most of the news articles and information about Leo had to do with his accomplishments during the last war. He stood out due to the amount of Dalki he had managed to kill, despite being a lowly private at the time.
"Here you go," Logan said. "It looks like you might be onto something after all. It says Leo readily refused to join the military and only wanted peace after the war. However, he did agree to fight once again if the Dalki were to invade.
"At the time, Leo was a bit of a lone wolf who had refused to join any factions, including the Big Four. The military saw this as a chance to grab him up, but it proved difficult. In the end, Leo agreed at a request: he would join as a teacher.
"Judging by this, it is as you say; perhaps, he isn't as closely aligned with the military as the others from here are."
It was a risk, and others knew it would be, but if Erin was happy to go through with it, then she should at least have some say in what they were planning to do with her.
Suddenly, Logan lept out of his chair and started to search around his room for some items. He went through crates and crates of stuff until he had finally found what was looking for. After pulling out the strange looking object, he went back to his computer to fiddle with a few more things.
A bright light started to show from the projector that had been used to display the holograms so far, it was now starting to display a solid wall of green.
"Which one of you is the best at acting here?" Logan inquired. The other's didn't know who to look at but eventually, they all directed their gazes to Vorden. Even Quinn didn't know why he did this fully. But based on the numerous ways Vorden could express himself, he felt him to be the perfect fit for the task at hand.
Logan then paced near Vorden, and without even asking for his consent, he tried to put the strange-looking helmet device on his head. Unfortunately, there was quite a height difference between the two.
"Can you not see what I'm trying to do? Bend down, you dumb giant!" Logan shouted.
Vorden immediately bent down as little Logan placed the strange helmet on top of his head. The helmet mainly went around his forehead and had unusual mechanical arms that came outward.
"Even if you go to Leo and he agrees to help, the security around everywhere is going to be tough. This is the only thing I can think of which might get them to lower their guard a bit." Logan said.
"The strange helmet thing?" Vorden replied, his tone strange.
"This here is a facial recognition device. It is able to track the smallest of details and all the little movements of the muscles in your face. What I plan to do is make a video. If we put both Peter and Erin up against the green screen and we have our actor Vorden here, I will be able to create a realistic video.
"The plan is to pretend the video has been sent from Pure, informing the school that the kids they are looking for have already left the planet and are safe in Pure's hands. That strange helmet device and the green backdrop is so I can change your appearance to whoever I like, same with the background.
"Once they know Pure safely has the two of you; hopefully, they will stop searching around as desperately as they are doing now."
Quinn felt amazed by Logan's thinking ability and thought of all the things he could do with him. He was lucky to have someone like him on his side and would hate to think what it would to have him as an enemy.
A speech was made for Vorden to act out while Layla was in charge of telling Vorden what to say. It made the most sense as she knew best what Pure would send, to make the video sound more authentic.
The speech even ended with a phrase they had never heard before, 'May we purify your souls'
She explained that it was a type of signature Pure always used when they sent things like this to their enemy.
It also made the others realise how Layla really was living a double life and perhaps the Layla they actually knew wasn't real at all.
The video had finished being made, and it was time for them to act. Logan would stay in the room and would make sure the file got to the school while Peter and Erin would remain hiding in the room along with Fex.
If an inspection was to occur, at most, they would only send two people into Logan's room due to his special privileges. A long as that person wasn't overwhelmingly strong in the mind, Fex would be able to clear their memories as if they never saw anything again.
Vorden and Quinn would head to Leo and explain the details of what had happened, hoping they would be able to help Erin.
While lastly, Layla had her own task to do. She had to inform Pure of the plan as well. She was quite nervous about this, as she had broken the rules of Pure and acted on her own. Explaining this meant she would have to receive a punishment.
But right now, she didn't care and just wanted her friend Erin to remain safe.
'I hope the conversation goes well.' Layla thought.

Chapter 211 A way ou
Currently inside Logan's room were Fex, Erin, Logan, and Peter. The conversation between all of them was silent. They didn't realise it until now, but the thing that brought most of them together was Quinn.
Without him there, the others didn't really know each other that well. The only sound that could be heard was Logan typing away on his computer, trying to gain access and find a way to upload the video they had made without any traces.
Fex, on the other hand, was keeping a close eye on Peter. Without Quinn there, Fex felt like it was his duty to protect all of them if he was to go out of control, though perhaps Logan would be able to deal with him on his own as well. He knew first hand how strong his shots from his strange suit were.
While looking deeply at Peter, Fex was trying to figure out just who Quinn was. Right now he had two main theories, one of them was that he was a member of one of the thirteen families raised here on earth since birth, and reported back to the main families once in a while.
While down here, he had made a mistake of turning Peter and was now trying to keep it a secret. But the thing that threw him off with this theory was his ability. The shadow ability. His first thought was that one of the families was keeping it a secret. When the crowning was to happen again, it would give them quite the power advantage.
The other theory was, Quinn didn't belong to any of the thirteen vampire families and instead belonged to them. The original shadow users. However, this theory of his was the most outlandish for they were meant to be long dead.
If the Vampire Council found out they hadn't all died, then there would be chaos.
Walking down the hallway, both Quinn and Vorden were making their way to the weapons class. Even on off days like today, Leo would often rest there, or practise his swordsmanship. It was hard to say that Leo was a workaholic because he wasn't doing it for work reasons.
But there were times where Quinn and others around him could see that Leo was obsessed with the blade, but even that wasn't quite right either. Leo was just obsessed with getting revenge against the Dalki.
While walking around, they could see the panic in the soldiers' faces. The students, who were outside the campus and around the city, had been asked to come back and remain inside the school.
There was a strict border control being held just around the school, with a soldier surrounding the whole place in a circle. Even on their way to the martial arts hall, Quinn and Vorden were both questioned several times.
The two of them now stood just outside the weapons hall, and Vorden hesitated before stepping in. "Quinn, this is the last chance. Are you really sure? What do we do if he doesn't agree? I don't think we're strong enough to take him on."
"Even if he doesn't agree, he's not the type to turn us in for protecting a friend. He'll understand. Trust me." With that, Quinn stepped forward, full of confidence, opening the door into the martial arts hall.
It was the weekend, so no students were inside, but Leo was there, standing in the middle of the room on his own. Sweat was dripping down from his forehead while his sword was still sheathed by his side.
As soon as the two of them entered the room, he was already looking in their direction.
"The two of you were standing outside for a while. I was wondering when you were going to come in," Leo said.
"Is this guy really blind?" Vorden asked. There weren't many opportunities where both Vorden and Leo were able to be around each other. Vorden knew about the accomplishments he had made during the war, but sometimes, the rumours would often be exaggerated.
'I wonder if I could touch him,' Vorden thought.
As the two of them got closer, Leo could tell that the energy inside the two of them was disturbed, but while looking at Vorden, his seemed strange. Had he met this person before? Because right now, he was looking at a person that had two different flows of energy inside him.
This was because Vorden currently held the fire ability, as well as the invisibility ability.
"Leo, I know you have already done me a huge favour by keeping my secret," Quinn spoke. "And because of this, I have decided to trust you with something else. I hope my hunch isn't wrong and I hope you can help me."
"I can't make any promises as I do not know what you wish to tell me," Leo said. "But as long as you are not in the wrong, you have nothing to worry about."
When Leo spoke those last words, it gave Vorden a little shiver down his spine. Just what had this man gone through to be able to create such an intense feeling with only a few words? Was it his ability? Or was it really just the pressure emitting from this person?
Quinn started to explain what had happened, and how they had come to learn of what Truedream's reason for coming to the academy was. As well as how Pure was the one who had informed them and how their friends had been chosen for the process. All they wanted to do was protect Erin and Peter.
Quinn however, did leave out the detail of them, trying to save Peter for a different reason related to himself, and just explained that he didn't want his friends to lose their ability. He also mentioned how they needed to send Erin out of here right now.
After they had finished explaining, both Quinn and Vorden took a deep breath, trying to calm themselves down. They carefully watched where Leo's hands were placed, thinking that any second now, he would go for his blade and capture the two.
"You two can calm down," Leo said. "As I've said to both of you before, as long as you are not in the wrong, I shall help. And in this situation, I believe you are not in the wrong."
While Quinn spoke about everything that had happened to Truedream, Leo made sure to carefully keep an eye on their energy flow, as well as their heartbeat. He noticed quite often when people were lying, their flow of energy, as well as their heartbeat, would alter slightly.
Over the years, it came to the point where Leo was just as good as any lie detector. Of course, there were those who had a solid will and had been trained to the point where it wouldn't affect them. But for kids like these, it was easy for him to tell. He knew that the words Quinn spoke were the truth.
"So, can you help us?" Quinn asked with a little smile on his face.
"There isn't much I can do with the situation with Jack. Although he's not part of the military, he is treated a lot higher than me. When I arrived here, I was adamant to be put under Nathan since I had an odd feeling about Duke."
"Right now, because of my rank, there isn't much I can do. Jack holds a special relationship with our head general Paul. The only thing I can do is wait to meet with the head general of military base one. Not everyone in the military agrees with Jack's doing, and this will hopefully be a step in the right direction."
What Leo was doing right now was a risk most people would never take. If someone were to find out that they were trying to ruin the relationship between Jack and the military, there would be many people on both sides upset with this, and most likely, many would go after Leo's life.
What he was doing right now was fearless, and Leo didn't have a group or other people backing him, but only himself.
"Don't worry about that," Quinn said. "Right now, all we need to do is save our friend for now. Is there any way you can get us inside the teleport room to send her off somewhere?"
Leo started to think, which wasn't a good sign. It seemed like he asked a simple yes or no answer, but that didn't seem to be the case.
"As you know, the portal room has been heavily guarded ever since what happened between you two. Most likely, it will be guarded even more. Still, there is a way. Follow me."

Chapter 212 Ranks of Pure
Entering her own room this time, Layla was more nervous than ever. It reminded her of when she first joined the school. All the strange feelings were returning to her and were starting to make her feel sick.
"I think by the end of today, I'm going to come out around five pounds lighter," She jokingly said to herself, trying to forget about the ordeal she was in.
Upon entering her room, there was no one inside. Her roommate consisted of Erin and another female student. Most of the time, their other roommate seemed to be out, which was a good thing for Layla.
Still, just to be safe, she kept an eye on the door as she did what she needed to do. She had already been caught once by Logan and had no clue how, which started to make her do some second-guessing.
All those years of training were hammered into her so she wouldn't be caught during an investigation, and in the end, she was caught by another student. Maybe she just wasn't made for work like this.
The black orb from under her bed was now in her hand. And once again, she took a deep breath, readying herself before tapping the top of the sphere. The blue ring on the top started to pulse in and out until eventually, it turned into a solid blue colour, signalling that it had been connected.
"Agent 45 connected with Agent 83. Today isn't a report day. Does there seem to be a problem?" the voice from the sphere asked.
"I would like to make a special report, would you please connect me to Agent Number 5?" Layla asked.
"The single agents are too busy. You can report it to me and I will pass on the message to them."
"I'll ask you again," Layla said firmly. "Please let me speak to Agent 5. This is not a request as an agent, but say that it's from her daughter."
There seemed to be a slight pause between the two having a conversation for a moment before the agent eventually replied…
"I will see what she says."
Layla waited while the other agent went and contacted her mother. In the Pure organization, they had special numbers associated with each agent. The number system could be split up into four different categories. The first group of people were the hundreds.
These agents of Pure were given no such number ranking. All they were told were that they were above the hundred special agents. These people would often be new to the Pure organization and would only be used on large scale operations.
Then, below them were the ranked. These agents were numbered from 20 to 100. These were special operative agents whose numbers were based on their position within the organization. The lower your rank was, the more powerful you were.
The third group were the higher ranked, going from 6 to 20. They were quite different compared to the other agents, due to the fact that they were mainly there due to their power. And then finally...
You had the final five. Some of these members were the original creators of Pure and also the strongest within the organisation.
When Layla was first introduced to the ranking system, she found it weird. For a group who was so hellbent on there not being a hierarchy in society, it was strange for their own group to have one.
But they always said that it was different because they all had the same goal in mind and understood. It would only be this way for now until they achieved their goal, and then, they would get rid of the ranking system. By then, equipment, wealth and resources would be distributed equally.
Layla started to remember the mock videos they showed her of what the world could be, and they always seemed so peaceful.
As she was deep in thought, she was quickly interrupted by a familiar voice on the speaker.
"This is Agent 5 speaking, I hear you have some important news for me, Agent 83?" the voice said.
After hearing those words come out of her mouth, Layla was a little upset. She hadn't spoken to her mother in a while and the first thing she talked about was business. She didn't ask her how she was or how she was doing and didn't even say her name. But she had always been like this, and Layla was used to it by now.
Layla started to explain the details of what happened. How she acted on her own without informing Pure to protect her friends, going against Jack and what the situation currently was. Though she did miss out a few details here and there, especially the parts where she had informed all of her friends who she was.
So far, she had only said she told Erin, someone who she wanted to bring over to Pure about her real position.
"Has your position been compromised by anyone else in the school or personnel?" her mother asked.
"No, I have only informed Erin. Right now, they think she escaped on her own. They are looking for her and she has no ability, as well as nowhere to go. If you can, please help her."
"Don't worry," she replied. "We will do our best. Anyone who has been affected by Truedream will be accepted. We shall treat her well. However, you have gone against our code. Although you were not caught, you took action without asking for permission and you even went as far as to use our name."
"Your punishment will be decided when you come back to the base. For now, you shall be demoted from position 83 to position 100. Update me when you have the location Erin will be sent to. We will have someone on standby waiting."
"Oh, and one last thing. Layla, I am waiting for you. Soar through the ranks. Don't be disheartened and try to get into the upper level so we can meet more frequently. May Pure be with you."
"May Pure be with you."
As the call ended, Layla kept her head down. A demotion was quite a big punishment on its own as it was. It had taken Layla a long time to rise through the ranks and just like that, she was at the bottom, barely hanging onto the numbered positions.
When she was at the base, she rarely got to see her mother much. Her mother always told her, as long as she was loyal to Pure and the cause, eventually, she would rise up the ranks and have a seat next to her.
So far she had been as loyal as can be and followed everything to the book. But everything slightly changed when she met Quinn and the others. She started having fun and enjoyed her time at school.
Sure, there were bad people in the world, but not everyone abused their powers as she found out. There were those like Erin who didn't even understand there was injustice and discrimination going on. Layla felt like they just needed to educate the world more.
She started questioning if Pure's forceful ways were really the right thing to do, which is why she was hesitant about reporting Quinn and the others.
If there was a chance she could leave the organization without receiving a punishment, she might have even considered it. And now, when thinking about it, she was about to send one of her best friends to such a place.
A place she no longer wanted to be a part of.

Chapter 213 Cursed weapons
The two boys were closely following Leo as he walked around the school. It seemed like he was taking them towards the portal room at first. However, when they were about to reach the room, their path slightly changed.
Quinn and Vorden both wanted to ask him where he was planning to go, but they were too afraid to do so. All the while walking, Vorden would constantly look around. He still had his doubts and felt like, perhaps, they were being led right into the den of their enemies.
In the middle of their little stroll through the familiar pathways, another female, who they had seen a few times, passed them by.
"Sergeant Leo." Fay said. "Where are you heading to? Didn't you receive the message?" She asked.
"Sorry, I was busy training, and it seems that no one bothered to inform me. Is it something urgent?" He replied.
"There has been an update about the situation of the two students who ran away from their punishment. It appears that, somehow, Pure has already gotten their hands on the both of them.
As the two boys listened in on the conversation, they snappily turned their heads to look at each other. Relief visited their consciousness since it must have meant that Logan had successfully sent the fake video over. The contents explained how members of Pure had already triumphantly retrieved Peter and Erin.
"I see." Leo replied. "So has the search party for them been called off?"
"Not quite. We, including a few other soldiers, have been called back for a meeting. Perhaps, it was to discuss the next course of action." As Fay finished her words, she spotted the two boys standing not too far away from Leo.
At first, she thought that they were just two students who were just taking a walk around the school. Withal, she quickly realised that they also halted their steps when Leo did.
The other thing that she noticed was that they weren't just any students. They were the first year students who she had been seeing more than she would have liked to. Wherever these two went, it seemed like trouble was simply lurking in their shadows.
The moment that Fay focused her attention on the two, Vorden realized the mistake that they had just made. Usually, he was good at this type of thing and would have carried on walking to not incur a suspension. The problem was he and Quinn had both gotten caught up on what Fay had to say.
"I don't know if you're aware of this Leo, but there seem to be two first year students following closely behind you." Fay said, further narrowing her gaze that was on Vorden and Quinn.
"I may be blind, but I do know when I'm being trailed." Leo replied. "They are here to help me move a few things from my storage room. I promise I will go to the meeting room as soon as I'm done."
If it was anyone else, Fay would have complained, suggesting that as a sergeant, they were neglecting their duty. If the general asked them to be present, then they needed to be immediately. However, Leo had some leeway when it came to the other sergeants.
This was because they were aware of the fact that they wanted him, and it wasn't the other way around.
"I will let them know that you will be a little late then." Fay said as she gave a salute before she took her leave.
'I wonder when the two of them managed to get close to Leo?' A lingering thought registered in her mind.
She made it a point to look over their files once she had returned to her office.She felt that something was amiss regarding the set-up.
On the other hand, finally, Leo stopped in his tracks, prompting the students to do the same. They had reached an area in the school that they had never gone to before. It was located around the back of the teleport area, and to access it, a special code should be inputted on a panel that served as the lock.
Agan, Vorden was amazed at how well Leo was able to navigate the entire place. He couldn't help but think that it had to have something to do with his ability. His curiosity was getting the better of him as a strange urge to touch Leo arose in him, but the opportunity didn't arrive.
When they entered the special building, they noticed that it was full of rooms that housed an eerie ambiance. They were all barricaded with metal doors that had numbers painted on their facade.
"This area is dedicated for the soldiers' storage room. When we moved here, we were allowed to bring our own personal belongings." Leo explained.
They walked for a few seconds, eventually stopping right before the door that had the number "12" painted on it. There is a security device that made sure that the only one who had access to this room was him, unlike the other codes utilized on the previous doors. Placing his hand on top of the access panel, it soon allowed Leo inside.
When the storage unit opened, both Quinn and Vorden were amazed at what was inside. There were weapons that were displayed on all sides of the room. In the center was something that looked similar to a boxing ring. Only, there was a wooden doll, similarly sized to an average adult human being, holding a wooden sword.
The whole place looked like any other weapons hall.
"Are all these yours?" Quinn asked.
"No, they once belonged to me and my friends. I just inherited them." Leo said with a melancholic tone in his voice as he continued to walk towards the back of the storage room.
The two boys waited at the back while Leo went to search for something. While biding for their time, they couldn't help but look at the weapons surrounding them.
[Inspect]
Looking at the items, Quinn was curious to see what level they were at, and to his surprise, the first random weapon he looked at in the room was at the advanced tier level - It was a short little dagger.
Quinn went to continue to inspect the weapons, noticing that most of them were of high class and were classified as beast equipment. He couldn't even imagine how much the whole thing would cost.
It turned out that Quinn wasn't the only one, who noticed that the equipment around them were nearly all high gears, as Vorden did too. "Hey, if you're not going to use these things, do you mind if i keep it?"
Just then, Leo came out from the back, holding a fairly large circular device - It was almost the same size as his upper body. He placed it in front of the two students, making a loud sound as it hit the floor.
"I'm afraid that all of these weapons are cursed." Leo said. "Their users died with too much resentment and those emotions stayed in their weapons."
Concurrently, Leo placed his hand on his very own weapon.
"You didn't have to make up some lie if you didn't want to give it to me." Vorden cheekily replied.
"Sometimes, our very own eyesight blinds us." Leo explained. "Having no sight has allowed me to see more things than I have ever seen before. If only you could see the things i could see, perhaps, you would begin to understand a little."
The words that Leo spoke really started to interest Vorden and it was the bait he needed.
'The sight he was referring to probably had something to do with his ability' Vorden thought.
"Oh," Vorden replied. "If you're talking about your ability, is there a way you can show me? I have the ability to copy and use other people's abilities. All I need to do is to touch their hand."
Quinn was a little afraid about how Leo would react. He could tell that, it might be that Vorden was pushing it just a little too far, but surprisingly, Leo started to laugh.
"Ha, ha, if you really wish to, then go ahead." Leo said as he held out his hand. At the same time, a strange smile appeared across his face, and the pressure that Vorden felt before, he could sense it once more.

Chapter 214 A new world
When Vorden explained to Leo about his abilities, Leo was doing his regular thing checking to see if he was speaking the truth or not. It was for this reason that Leo wasn't as cautious.
With experience, Leo knew it wasn't; a good idea to have contact with someone's ability you didn't know. Certain abilities had conditions that needed to be set before using them. This was called a cost.
Cost abilities were usually stronger than regular abilities but there were only a few that the public could obtain. Two examples of cost abilities were Vorden's where he needed to touch a user's bare skin before being able to use their power, and Jack's who could only absorb their power through the user's mouth.
Cost abilities were quite rare and were even still being discovered today. Sometimes families had passed down ancient scripts that their ancestors knew nothing about but practised them out of tradition. To only later find out that there was a cost involved unlocking their ability.
Many people assumed this very thing was what had happened to Truedream. In a world without abilities, Jack would have never discovered his very own ability.
Vorden looked at Leo's hand once again and this time was hesitating slightly.
'Just do it.' Raten complained. 'Do you have to be so careful about everything you do'
With Raten speaking his mind like the little devil on his shoulder, he eventually took the plunge and shook Leo's hand.
A new energy was felt flowing inside of Vorden. The cells in his body were finally changing, it was the strongest force he had ever felt enter his body before. Even when touching the hand of Berg, a member of the big four and a level eight user he had never felt this type of energy before.
Finally, the two of them let go.
"Well?" Leo asked. "Do you see what I see?"
Vorden activated the ability and his whole vision went black. He could no longer see using his regular eyesight. Instead, the walls and floor appeared like wireframes that were constantly moving. As if the ground and the walla round were alive.
Then when he looked at his own hand, he could see the flow of yellow energy appearing off his own body. He turned his head and looked at Quinn who was giving off a different colour. A dark purple hue, which burned brightly.
Vorden now understood why Leo was able to tell that Quinn was different, it was the colours of energy. Finally though when he looked at Leo the largest shock came to him. Leo's flame was yellow just like Vorden's.
However, there was a big difference between the two. The flow of energy-burning was much more intense and it seemed to be at least four times bigger than his own.
'But how?' Vorden thought. It didn't make sense to Vorden. When using his ability not only did he copy the ability but also the number of mutant cells in their body. Even if Leo's ability was beyond that of level eight of the military scale, Vorden should have still been able to copy it.
But when looking at his own aura and looking at Leo's there was a big difference and he didn't know why.
Then, Vorden started to notice something else. The sword around his waist was also burning a bright red colour and the energy coming off it was nearly just as strong as Leo himself.
While Vorden was looking at Leo, he started to point towards the weapons on the wall. As he turned his head he noticed that all the weapons that were hung up, they too were burning with a bright red colour.
"Is this normal for beast weapons?" Vorden asked.
"It seems like you really can see what I can see." A regular beast weapon does not shine in colour. As I said before these are different." Leo explained.
"And what about you?" Vorden asked. "Why are you…"
Just before Vorden could ask his question Leo immediately suppressed the yellow aura around his body and brought it down to the same level as Vorden.
Seeing this action, Vorden knew Leo was telling him not to ask about it, and it was clear he had done it on purpose for another type of reason.
Leo then tapped the large metallic circular object.
"This here is a portable teleportation device, it's an old one but it still works. As you know these are a one time use thing. It will allow you to go to a destination, but not come back." Leo explained. "The location of this device is set to a planet called Lintarnia, it's a green portal planet that I once came from so it should be safe."
"There is one problem though." said Leo. "As you can see it's very big and very heavy. There is no way to move this without being suspicious and the other teachers or soldiers seeing this. This is as much as I can help you."
Quinn then walked up to the device and tried lifting the thing up, it was indeed heavy, and would most likely take the two of them to carry it back to Logan's room.
"We could bring, Erin over to the portal?" Vorden suggested. Although it would be risky taking her out of Logan's room with all the people around."
As Vorden made his suggestion an idea suddenly popped into Quinn's head.
He touched the shadow just underneath the large metallic object.
[Dimensional space]
The shadow underneath the object grew and then when it encased the whole thing it eventually dropped down, as if the object was sucked into a black hole.
"That solves that problem," Quinn said.
With the dimensional space, as long as the object wasn't of living matter, he was able to take it with him and take it out whenever he liked. So it was perfect for this type of situation.
"I wish you two good luck," Leo said. "It's best if we don't communicate with each other often other than our classes."
As the two boys ran off, Leo looked at the back of the two of them. "The future ahead will be dark for you two, but it seems you will be strong enough to overcome it."
Back at Logan's room, Layla had arrived before the two boys did. It didn't seem like Logan's room had come for inspection and Peter hadn't gone on an outrage which was the first piece of good news all day.
Instead, Peter was carefully reading files on the new students to identify who he was meant to take over. He needed to get his birthdate and background details perfect in case he was asked or if he ever needed to fill in forms for the school.
While waiting, eventually the two boys had finally arrived. "Looks like we did it," Quinn said.
The circular portal was set up in Logan's room while Layla sent a message with details about which planet for an agent of Pure to pick her upon. Once Layla received a confirmation back it was finally time for them to say their goodbyes.
Logan tapped a few buttons on the side of the circular machine and two claw-like objects opened up from the side. A few moments later and a green coloured round fuzz of energy was produced. The portal had been activated.
Before stepping into it she looked back at everyone in the room. "I know you losers will still do well without me, become the best and keep my top place warm for me when I return." She said with a smile.
When looking at Erin smile. Their hearts started to melt a little. It was the first time they had ever seen Erin smile and it was beautiful. She was already a beauty but with a smile, it was the icing on top of the cake.
The one that seemed to be upset about the whole thing though was Layla. Tears wouldn't stop falling down her face as she felt she was truly losing a good friend of hers.
"Remember, if there are any problems and you need to contact us. Use the watch!" logan shouted.
With those last words said, Erin stepped into the portal experiencing a whole new world.
'Please don't let anything bad happen to her.' Layla thought.

Chapter 215 Peaceful plane
On planet Biolotmare, a medium-sized shelter stood in place just along a clear blue river. A tier four shelter with a population of around 20,000 people. The shelter wasn't owned by the military or the big four but instead was by a secret benefactor who would hire out Travellers, or Traveller factions to guard the place.
It was unusual for a shelter because usually, they would publicly declare who they were protected by to avoid any confrontation with other groups but not this one.
The shelter was surrounded by hilltops and long green fields and it seemed like the area was completely void of beasts. Standing by one of the portal entrances was a young man who was tapping his foot on the ground.
As he was waiting he watched the children and families happily play with each other on the street, while others were even swimming in the river.
"So peaceful." The young man said. "They can live their lives out here all happy, but they're unaware of what is happening back on earth, and on the other planets. Everyone should deserve something like this. Not just you guys."
A strange sound was heard by his side and when he turned his head, he could see the space next to him becoming distorted. Warping in and out, suddenly, a bright white circular portal appeared and dropping out of it, a snow white skinned female with blond hair.
She braced herself gently as she landed on the floor but for a few moments stayed completely still. Little drops of water hit the floor and finally when they stopped, she lifted her head and wiped her face with the sleeve of her arm.
The man walked up to the woman and looked her up and down before saying anything. She was wearing the school uniform as described to him by agent 100.
"An angel flies high in the sky." the young man said.
"And has its wings torn down and falls to the ground," Erin replied. Before leaving, Layla had informed her, if someone was to approach her they would speak a certain phrase. This was a code so agents could tell who was who between each other.
"Looks like you're the right one, follow me." She followed the young man for a while as they walked through the shelter.
While looking around she noticed how calm and peaceful the place looked. It was different from other shelters, but it also reminded her of the shelter her own family protected when she was younger, before the Dalki attacked.
'If I remember right, the others borrowed this from Sergeant Leo, maybe this is where he used to live?' She thought.
Following the young man, he was eventually leading them both out of the shelter. Before stepping out Erin turned and took one last look at the peaceful place. A thought crossed her mind that maybe she could run away and stay here. It might be a better option than going to Pure.
But then looking at the peaceful town, images appeared in her head of the houses on fire, the buildings destroyed. She suddenly remembered why she wanted to get stronger in the first place. For something like that to never happen in her presence ever again.
If Pure was able to help her, for now, she would comply. There was always the option of contacting Logan and the others in the future with the wristwatch.
When looking at the boy she noticed that he seemed to be wearing quite a decent level of beast gear. On his back was a single long sword, the hilt was black a scale like but was as wide as his shoulders. From looking she could tell holding the thing would be heavy and a regular human wouldn't be able to wield such a large sword.
He also wore metal plated armour that seemed to mix in beast parts here and there. Such as blue fins near the shoulder pads, and scaled parts over the shin part of his legs.
Finally, they had reached the top of the hill. From the top looking down, they were still able to see the river flowing through the valley and the shelter just form the other side.
"This should be far enough." the young man said standing near the edge of the clifftop. The man started to walk around as if he was looking for something on the floor until he eventually a ping sound was heard. "Here it is."
The man started to dig down at the spot with his bare hands and although he was tearing pieces of the ground away, he made it look like he was just shifting piles of sand away.
"Hey pretty lady, are you just going to stand there or are you going to help me?" The man asked.
Erin looked at the floor where the man was digging and then looked at his hands which were covered with dirt. At least he was wearing a pair of gloves, but her, the only thing she managed to bring with her was her sword that always stayed around her waist.
Unwillingly, she took a step forward, although she didn't want to get dirt on her hands she thought it would be best if she made a good impression with the people she would be staying with for maybe a couple of years.
Just as she moved forward, a loud screeching sound could be heard in the air. At first, it looked like a small little black dot in the sky, but it started to get bigger and eventually Erin had a clear view of what it was.
"Watch out!" she shouted. "It's a beast." While seeing how peaceful the town was, she had forgotten about the fact that this still wasn't earth. Dangerous beasts lived on these planets.
The young man turned and slowly drew out his large sword, as if what was happening was somehow annoying to him.
Suddenly, the beast stopped its descent and spread its wings wide open, hovering by the clifftop in front of the young man
The beast looked like a large butterfly and was the same size as a regular human. Its wings showed beautiful rounded patterns. But as beautiful as its wings where the same couldn't be said for its head.
It had too many eyes to count and razor-sharp teeth, with what looked like foam coming out from its mouth.
"Will you please just let me go home!" The young man shouted and at the same time, the butterfly beast dashed forward.
Erin immediately went to cast an ice spike from below hoping to hit the beast, but that's when she sadly realised that she no longer had her powers.
It continued to go forward and the young man lifted the sword up and at just the right time. Pushed it down like a pin right on top of its head. Its wings had stopped in an instant and the beast was dead.
"Can you at least get the crystal?" the man asked. "It's located in the lower half of its body."
While Erin went to carve out the beasts crystal, the man continued to dig in the location. Just as the man had said the crystal was located in the lower half. As she wiped the black blood of the beast away using the grass on the ground, she noticed it was slightly clear in colour.
"What is this?" She said in shock. The clearer the outer shell of the crystal surrounding the energy inside, it meant the higher the tier of crystal. Right now what Erin held in her hands was a crystal with its first outer shell clear.
Which meant it was at least an intermediate tier beast. And the young man was able to kill it using no abilities and only beast weapons. Erin was starting to see the Pure organisation in a slightly different light right now.
Finally, the man had stopped digging and finally pulled out a large circular metallic device. Straight away Erin knew what it was because it was similar to the one she had used to arrive on this planet.
After pressing a few buttons on the side the portal opened up.
"Well, are you ready to meet your new home?" He asked.
Before she wasn't so keen but after seeing the young man's actions, she now stepped forward willingly.
Before they entered the portal though the man stopped her. "Take off the watch," he said.
"This, if you're worried about the school tracking me, they won't be able to, your member disabled it." Erin tried to explain.
The man then forcefully grabbed her wrist and snapped the watch off, Before throwing it onto the ground. "You're about to head into the Pure's base. We can't and won't take any chances."
After that, he pulled Erin into the portal and two of them disappeared out of sight.

Chapter 216 Unusual friendship
At military base two, it seemed like things were starting to calm down. Not just for the soldiers in the base but also for Quinn and his group. The video seemed to work quite well and it looked like they had nearly called off the entire search.
The base was now just treating it as a secondary objective now rather than a full-on search. Because of this, each member felt like a huge weight was lifted off their shoulders. However, Layla felt like a new one was put on hers.
There was only one problem left to solve right now and that was Peter. The group had decided they would continue to hide Peter inside Logan's room. It wasn't the right time to reveal him. The tension was still a little high.
While he stayed in Logan's room it would also give him time to practise on the details of the student he was pretending to be.
Before leaving Logan's room Quinn made a cut on his hand and fed some of his blood to Peter. Before leaving he would give him the command to not attack Logan. He would need to do this every night just to make sure until Peter was able to use the disguise.
This meant right now it was night time, the others had left and the only ones in the room were both Logan and Peter.
Despite their situation, Logan simply continued his normal routine into the night. He was at his workbench using strange tools as he messed around with his gadgets. This continued on for a few hours.
"Where did I put that cogwheel?" Logan asked himself as he surveyed around the room but couldn't find anything. As he swivelled around in his chair, he noticed that Peter was standing in the same spot and wasn't moving.
"Do you not need to sleep?" Logan asked.
Peter replied by just shaking his head.
"Well, I don't sleep much either." He shrugged and then motioned to him, "Hey, do you mind passing me that cogwheel shape by your side?"
Peter looked around for it and proceeded to hand over the strange device that Logan had asked him. Without saying anything else, Logan continued to work on his new invention.
"Pass me the green glowing circular orb." He asked.
"The one on your left, that spinning spikey thing…." Logan asked once more, "And that upside down looking U… now that beast crystal to your right.." He continued to ask for different tools and Peter did as he asked and handed them to him.
"Finally finished!" Logan said and turned to Peter. "You were a great help, you didn't ask me any questions and didn't keep me distracted from my work, Peter. Now it's my turn to help you."
Logan opened up the files and had the information of the student named Pio Blank on display. While the file was open, Logan would ask a series of questions and Peter would answer. They would continue doing this until Peter could remember every detail about Pio blank by heart.
The speed that Peter was able to memorize everything even impressed Logan. It was like his memory was picture perfect.
"Do you mind doing me another favour?" Logan asked with a slight smile on his face.
Peter hopped into the VR machine and while connected Logan would communicate to him through his computer. Right now Logan wanted to see the capabilities and just how strong Peter was.
Logan asked Peter to do a series of things, such as run as fast as he could, throw a bunch as hard as he could as well as dodge a bunch of incoming objects that were thrown at him inside the simulation.
Eventually with all the stats recorded Logan had something else he wanted to try.
"Peter, behind you a pair of weapons will appear. Use them however you wish against the NPC enemies."
Suddenly, a pair of short blades appeared on the ground behind him, and at the same time, 8 different men all in a solid black colour appeared. They didn't look like humans but like blobs of Ink instead.
These were the NPCs that Logan had created to practise his own fighting skills and weren't part of the game he created.
Using the two weapons and Peter's speed he was able to deal with most of the enemies with ease, and Logan was impressed. Right now both of his strength and speed were nearly four times the level of an average human.
Logan continued these sets of tests and each time he would drop in a different weapon for Peter to use against the enemies. Right now, Logan had set the game to allow his body to react like it would do in real life and what was more amazing than anything was the fact that Peter never seemed to get tired.
He was able to fight just as well as he did from the start of the game to the end. Peter while going through the entire process was actually having fun. On the outside, he hadn't really been able to test his strength and for the first time, he was able to use it freely.
Even if he was being used by Logan for his own purposes he didn't mind so much. The relationship between the two of them was give and take.
Finally, the simulation had ended and Peter exited out of the pod. After gathering all of Peter's stats Logan had come to the conclusion that Peter would make a great spy or assassin.
When using the weapons he performed best with the short duel blades. He also never tired and could run at great speeds, he also had a nearly perfect memory and lastly, he also knew that they had the ability of transformation. Being able to disguise himself as anyone he wanted.
It was a shame that Peter was already on Quinn's team. If the case had been any different then Logan would have loved to have invited him other for his very own portal outing.
While Logan was deep in thought he heard a knock on the door and to his utter surprise, it was Quinn and Fex.
"What are two doing back here so soon?" Logan asked.
"What are you talking about?" Quinn replied.
Logan quickly rushed to his computer to check the time and it was already the next day in the afternoon. Classes for the school day had already ended and Fex along with Quinn had come to check up on Peter, as well as another reason.
Without realising it, Logan had been up the whole day with Peter.
"What can I do for you?" Logan muttered as he rubbed his bloodshot red eyes.
"You can sleep if you want?" Quinn asked.
"Yeah, you look nearly as dead as Peter." Fex added with a chuckle.
"Well, I can decide that once you two let me know what you need. If you are here for Peter, me and him are doing great."
"Actually," Quinn replied. "I was hoping we could use your VR capsule. I wanted you to add Fex's ability to the game for us."
Now that everything had calmed down, Fex was finally able to keep well on his promise. He was planning to show Quinn how to fight the vampire way.
The mass release has been delayed to tomorrow, had a busy day today sorry.

Chapter 217 Vampire Basics
The reason the two boys had decided to pay Logan a visit right after their classes wasn't just to check up on Peter. A while ago Fex had said that he would teach Quinn how to use the vampire style of martial arts that focused on using their hands and fists as weapons.
At the time, Quinn didn't trust Fex too much. So he came up with the idea of allowing Logan to record Fex's ability, and upload it to the games private server. This way Fex would not be able to control Quinn's body and make him attack his friends, but he could use the ability inside the game to teach Quinn how to fight.
At this point, the two of them had gotten a little closer, and Quinn actually felt that even if they were to do this outside of the game, Fex would bring no harm to his friends. There were multiple opportunities when Fex could have done this, but he always chose not to and had helped them out greatly.
Of course, Quinn was still a little bit cautious, for he didn't even know Fex reason for being at the school. Another reason was also that if they were to practise in the game it would be away from the preying eyes of others.
After hearing what Quinn wanted to do, a strange energy filled Logan's eyes once again.
"I suppose I still have some energy left in me." Logan said as he quickly hopped onto his computer. "Go on then Quinn, you've done this before, show him what to do."
Just like Quinn had done before, Fex was placed into the fairly large glass tube, he was then told to use his ability in different ways while the tube and computer would record how his ability worked.
Watching from the outside, Quinn felt like it was strange how the tube and computer were able to so accurately replicate the abilities in the game. The other thing that impressed him was the fact Logan wasn't typing anything into his computer at all.
He just had his hand pressed up against it, while this was happening thousands of lines of code where being written. Quinn had seen Logan's ability a few times now and had seen it used in quite versatile ways, so he had come to a conclusion of what it might be.
The ability to communicate with machines, or more precisely give life to machines. When Quinn was last in his room and used the inspect skill there were a couple of items, that Quinn thought he should have been able to use, but when he picked them up there was no reaction, nothing at all, and it seemed like the machine was broken.
But without saying anything Logan would touch the machine and it would light up and work once again. If his ability was able to give life to the gadgets that he created it was the perfect ability for Logan.
With anyone else it would be pretty useless, apart from bypassing doors and such. But for Logan it allowed him to use his ability in so many different ways, just like he was doing now with the games, and with the little spiders, they saw being used multiple times.
"And we are done." Logan said as he opened his eyes and let go of the computer.
"How will we play?" Quinn axed. "There's only one VR machine."
"I actually thought of that beforehand," Logan said as he threw into the air two very small square looking nano sticks. Both Quinn and Fex caught them with ease by swiping their hands in the air.
"Usually if you try putting anything into the VR capsules it will just reject them for security reasons, but those have been blessed by me." Logan explained. "Just head to the back and pop them in, then when you log into the VR capsule it will give you the option of which server to connect to. I've put both the shadow and string ability into the private server for you to use. Now get out of here, and go play your little game."
Before leaving the room, Quinn gave a few drops of blood to Peter and gave the same command as before. Although Logan felt like there was no reason for the two of them to get into a fight, but he didn't know if Peter's violent nature was being suppressed by Quinn's blood or not.
As soon as the two boys left the room, Logan almost collapsed on his bed. He didn't sleep much but every so often he would be burnt out.
Peter looked at Logan in the room, before looking at the VR capsule again.
"Do you mind if I use the VR capsule?" Peter asked.
But Logan was already asleep.
"Whatever, it's just a game." Peter said as he climbed into the machine.
[Logging in online]
[Please create your user ID]
Quinn and Fex were now in the game's white lobby room together. They had done as Logan instructed. And just like he said when they went to log into the game, it gave them the option to connect to the normal servers, or the private server Logan had created.
Right now they were in the private server. Fex was currently testing out his string ability and he was amazed at how life like it felt. There were a few things that he wasn't able to do with the strings that he could do on the outside, but that was mainly when he tried combining some of his vampire skills with his abilities.
After testing out his strings for a while he was finally ready.
"Okay, so the idea is, I will control your body using the strings. Now what you need to do is focus on the feeling of each movement. Every sequence of moves starts off somewhere and ends somewhere. You need to put these things together like building blocks. Rather than me showing it to you, this is the best way I can teach you, because your body actually experiences it along with your muscles." Fex explained. "So are you ready?"
Quinn was ready this time, within the game, there was no chance for him to be hurt in real life. He stood with his back facing towards Fex and had his arms and legs spread out to make it easier for him.
Just like he did with Erin, Fex walked up to Quinn and inserted twelve different pieces of string into twelve different parts of his body. Unlike the real world though, there was no pain involved.
Fex did a few simple tests first moving his body around. It felt unnatural to Quinn as he wanted to fight it, and he actually had the strength to resist it a little. Unlike Erin who was limited by her regular human strength, it was easy for Fex to force her to do what he wanted.
"Calm down will you!" Fex complained. "For this to work, you need to be in a sleep like state. That way I can use your body how I like. You just need to pay attention with your mind."
Quinn closed his eyes and tried relaxing his body, it took a while for him to allow his whole body to go limp as he was afraid he would fall over if he did, but suddenly when he did, he felt a jolt in his legs.
He didn't fall over but instead, Fex had taken control of his legs. After getting past the strange feeling the rest was now easy for Fex. He went ahead and did the same set of punches he did every day while he was training at school.
Of course, there was a lot more to martial arts then just learning how to do the moves. It was important to know when to use them, what moves countered what and so on. But at least it would allow Quinn to progress quicker.
Quinn concentrated hard as Fex demonstrated the moves using his body. As his arms flew out from different angles, they were fast and stiff. At the same time, his body was always in a position where he could see an oncoming attack, while being able to block using his shoulder.
After the set of punches were demonstrated to Quinn, Fex disconnected the strings and allowed him to practice them. With the feeling fresh in his mind Quinn didn't want to waste any time and started to perform them.
Quinn tried to combine the feeling of the punches, together with his muscle memory from being controlled by Fex, and it seemed to be working out well for him.
Fex watched Quinn carefully as each move was performed nearly perfectly to how they were shown.
"Looks like we have a fast learner." Fex said. Although the string method was able to help someone progress faster it couldn't help them completely. In the end, it was down to the person.
With Erin, she too had tried performing the moves nearly instantly but not once was she successful, but here, it seemed like something had connected for Quinn.
'Quinn, am I just making my enemy stronger, or am I making a powerful friend in the future.' Fex thought
As Quinn didn't want to let go of this feeling, he continued to practice the punches Fex had taught him, he was slowly perfecting them.
Then all of a sudden he heard a DING from the system.

Chapter 218 ZombieP
[Basic vampire martial arts unlocked level 1]
[New tutorial videos available]
The usual sound had appeared which indicated that Quinn was able to unlock something from the system. As he practised the moves, he felt something strange happening. it was as if his body was still being guided by the strings, but it clear it wasn't. The memory was so fresh in his head his body was moving on its own and after the last movement, the message had appeared.
'Basic arts?' Quinn read. 'Does this means there are stronger vampire martial arts out there? Maybe Fex only taught me the basics on purpose, or maybe he only knows the basics?'
The second message was what interested Quinn more. The last times he had watched the tutorial videos they had helped him out greatly. Teaching him the flash step and the Hammer strike. The second tutorial video taught him how to combine moves. This time, the tutorial was unlocked when Quinn had learned the vampire martial arts so perhaps there was a tutorial skill related to it.
He quickly glanced over at Fex, just in case, Quinn chose not to watch the videos right now. Quinn was playing the complete beginner act when it came to vampire arts. If he was to demonstrate a skill that hadn't been taught then it would only raise suspicion.
"I think I got the basics down," Quinn said. "Is there anything else besides this?"
Fex looked at Quinn again, still mesmerized by how quickly he had learnt the fighting style. This was something he did day in and out as a child and amongst others, and even then he was considered a genius. But if he was a genius then what did that make Quinn who had learnt it in a few hours.
The thought came into Fex's head that maybe Quinn had already known the arts and was lying for some reason, but when thinking back to their first fight it seemed impossible. He would have to be a first class actor to fake punches that bad, and then do the same again when fighting against the teacher Leo.
"Yes," Fex replied. "These are only the basics, I can perform at a level above what I showed you obviously, but I honestly wouldn't be good enough to teach you it. If you want to learn some more you're better off getting a real teacher to show you."
Part of what Fex had just said was a lie. It was true he most likely couldn't teach Quinn. He tried that once before and his explanations weren't the best. Still, whatever Fex could do with his own body he could do using someone as a puppet. Even slightly better. There was a small fear inside Fex that if carried on teaching Quinn and saw the same thing happen with the more advanced vampire martial arts. He wouldn't know how to react.
While the two of them were busy practising inside the private server, they were unaware of what was happening elsewhere in the game.
[ZombieP Winner]
"So is it another hacker, this game has been going downhill these days." Someone watching the match had said.
"But that's his fifteenth win in a row. Surly the admins would have found out about him by now?"
"I think he just has a really good regenerative ability no? I mean it's in his name."
"Well, then how do you explain the extra strength or the crazy speed he has, it doesn't look like he's wearing any beast gear to me."
A few people up in the crowd were currently watching a particular student play the VR game. Each of them had lost the matches but found their fights a little strange so they opted to watch the next few games.
But as they watched each game the thing they found strange continued to happen.
[New match has been found]
A new game had started and once again the student they had their eye on was going up against a level three telekinesis user. The telekinesis user had several black balls attached around his chest while his opponent had no weapons at all.
Standing on the opposite side was Peter. He didn't look like his usual self as he was slightly disguised by the avatar. Although he selected a pretty basic default design that just had a randomly generated face with a few scraps of clothing.
The fight had begun and Peter rushed in forward. At the same time, the telekinesis user threw out the metallic balls using his ability to speed them up.
Peter, however, was fast and was able to dodge most of the incoming attacks and the few that he couldn't, he knocked away with his hand.
However, the opponent was strong and there were too many metallic balls floating in the air for Peter to dodge, and Peter wasn't exactly the most skilful person when it came to fighting.
Eventually, one of the metallic balls came at great speed and managed to hit Peter in the centre of his shin, smashing it and breaking it in half, causing him to fall onto the ground.
The others watching this could feel the pain just from watching Peter. Although the game only replicated a small amount of pain back to the user they could imagine it would still hurt a lot.
The Telekinesis user calmly walked over to Peter thinking it was all over. He had taken out one of his opponent's legs, and without being able to move it would usually mean the end.
However, the others watching from the stand knew it wasn't the end for Peter. They had all thought the same thing when fighting against Peter. Suddenly, after a few moments, Peter was able to stand up again, as if the attack had never hit his leg in the first place.
Immediately after he ran towards his opponent. He was caught off guard and in a panic tried to fire all the metallic balls right at Peter. But his speed was impressive. Peter dodged the balls and even though they were now chasing him, he was far faster than the balls.
Eventually, when he was close enough, Peter pounced on top of his opponent and widely swung his fists towards his head. There was no class and no style with Peter attacks, it was like one of a wild animal.
[Winner ZombieP]
Each of the opponent's Peter had gone against had witnessed his impressive regenerative abilities. It was that of a high level ability user. Still, some people were suspicious for Peter seemed to also have impressive strength and speed on top of his healing powers.
As the game had ended just outside the VR pod, Logan was finally waking up from his nap. As he slowly opened his eyes and looked around the room he noticed that Peter wasn't there. Upon closer inspection of the room, he noticed that the VR pod indicator light was on, showing that someone was currently using the game.
"Peter!" Logan said as he rushed over to the computer and immediately logged in. It was as he thought, Peter had not logged into the private server to play, but instead had logged into the military servers.
Quickly, Logan brought up a log of Peter's past games hoping he hadn't done anything to stand out. After watching the highlights of Peter's last game a slight smile appeared on his face.
He too was currently witnessing the amazing regenerative abilities that he possessed. When joining the games Peter hadn't selected any abilities. Which meant the VR pod was able to record how Peter's body would be able to react to such things in real life.
Just like with Quinn. Because his body was able to perform the vampire abilities the game allowed him to do it. Rather than it being a part of his ability. Right now, the exact same thing had happened to Peter.
"These vampires are more interesting than I thought," Logan said, still there was now another problem on Logan's hands.
He had already received a few emails from admins, asking to look into the user ID of ZombieP. Making sure it wasn't a hacked player. As there had already been a few complaints made online.
"I guess your fame online will be a short one Peter. The world cannot learn of you just yet."
With that, Logan forcefully disconnected, Peter from the online world.
However, it was a little too late as some of the videos of Peter's amazing regenerative powers had already been spread online.
Meanwhile, in another military base, a certain group of boys had also managed to watch the videos that had been posted.
"Did you see?" Sam asked.
"Yeah, looks like there really will be a lot of interesting people at the Inter-military base event," Nate replied with a big smile.

Inside the training hall in one of the military bases, Nate and Sam could be seen training. The second year students had a lot more time compared to the other students. Hence, most of the time, second year students would use their free time for practical training.
They often went to the other planets to support the base military in their endeavours. However, as of the moment, the second year students were to remain at their bases for the time being, by virtue of the upcoming Inter-base military event.
It was an event that required all of the eight military bases to enter - It was basically a competition among the bases. The events varied from certain activities and games to straight out fighting. The military bases would compete to see who had raised the best and strongest students. Moreover, the leaders and generals would often be rewarded greatly for according to the results that they acquired.
The event was important for the military bases and their leaders, since they would often get more funding and privileges based on the performance that they've shown during their participation.
Because of this, the second year students, who were the main focus of the events, were practising. This was for the reason that the second year students often had more time to cultivate their abilities to higher levels, able to obtain more beast gear equipment, and just had more experience overall.
It was very rare for first years to compete in some of the minor events, as most of the slots for each activity would usually be taken up by a second year student. Still, there were some cases when a first year user might be suited for a particular activity.
An example of this would be the hack-the-vault challenge. In this tournament, the team would have to make their way through numerous security devices and sentinel, successfully making their way to the vault right at the end of the course. This didn't solely require strength, but rather, a set of particular skills.
The two of them were in the room - Sam was sitting down while poring over a level 6 ability book that was placed on the floor. Meanwhile, Nate was standing as he observed his companion.
Sam had his eyes closed for a while now, meditating. All the while energy was flowing inside his body, he was trying the techniques that were written down on the book. The power began to rise from the pit of his stomach, but soon after, he would feel a great pain.
All of a sudden, a burning sensation arose in his chest area, promptly stopping him from what he was doing.
"Don't push yourself, Sam. This might be your limit." Nate said.
Sam looked at his friend's wrist watch that was now displaying the number 7. Nate had grown so much stronger and Sam was always behind him, so he wanted to catch up. Sam had done well in increasing his ability from level 4 to 5. He had even saved up enough money to buy a level 6 wind ability book.
Nevertheless, the problem that he had right now was one that tortured many. Hence, he had reached his limit not long after. Just because one had a high level ability book, it didn't entail that they would be eligible to learn it. Usually, humans have varying anatomy, mainly on the aspect that each and everyone of their bodies produces different amounts of MC cells.
The burning feeling that Sam could feel in his heart meant that he had reached his limit. Thus, pushing his body any further could be dangerous.
Sam knew what this sensation meant as it conveyed the state of his body. However, he still wanted to pursue the matter, even supposing that after several attempts, it seemed like his efforts were useless. He really had abused the extent of strain that his body could bear.
Though, it wasn't a complete loss since he could still sell the book to others who would need it. Howbeit optimistic Sam was regarding the issue, Nate could see that his friend was depressed.
"Don't worry too much. There are plenty of people out there who are strong even without the use of abilities. Look at that Pure group for example." Nate said with a cheery tone in his voice, wanting to ease the worries of Sam. "All we need to do is get you some good beast gear that suits your ability. Also, we can always work on your skills."
Sam could tell that Nate was trying to cheer him up, so he didn't want to stay too depressed in front of him for long. Withal, if there was one thing that could make him feel better, it was bringing his friend back down to his level.
"So, about that new teacher, it seems like she's been picking on you during classes lately," Sam said, giggling away like a high-school girl.
Nate's face had gone bright red at this point as he started to remember the small banter that he and Silver had. "That teacher is bonkers. She already made fun of my head, but she refuses to call me by my name and calls me blockhead all the time. I even decided to shave the corners of my beautiful hair because of her."
"I also heard about how one of the other teachers confessed to her. Apparently, the next day, he came in to school with a black eye," Sam replied as he looked at his friend's new haircut. "I always wondered why you purposely matched up your hair with your face's jawline. I actually think this rounded look is a lot better for you," Sam replied.
"You really mean it?" Nate said as he enthusiastically grabbed Sam's hands. "I haven't seen her today, so maybe she will like this new haircut of mine as well.
"You poor soul," Sam said while shaking his head. "You don't even realise you're already in too deep."
"I wonder where she is?" Nate said, looking around the room.
Meanwhile, inside the school's IT room, Silver was currently standing above one of the school's staff members. The reflection from the screen was showing that his eyes had a slight red tint to them, meaning that he was under Silver's control.
Right now, he was searching for the school's files regarding a student named Fex. So far, there were no results. It was expected, especially since, if she was in Fex's shoes, she would have never used her real name in the human world. Still, she would try it even if there was a slim chance.
After searching the military base's school files, she asked the man to check the other military bases one by one, and to her surprise, a hint about his existence was discovered.
"Oh, you stupid little boy." Silver said out loud. The file was found and it seemed like Fex had actually used his real name. The reason why she was unable to find him so far was because he was located at military base two.
Although this was good news for her, it wasn't long until the Inter-base military event and there, she would be able to make her move in order to bring Fex home.
"Hopefully, you haven't caused too much trouble yet."

Chapter 220 Confronting Layla
It appeared like everyone was busy, dead set on doing their own thing. Because of this, Vorden was finding the situation a little boring. Before, he would often spend his spare time teaching Peter on how to use the earth ability.
If it wasn't something like that, then Vorden would be racking up his head, trying to figure out how to get out of a tough situation. It was as if he always liked to keep his mind busy. If he was left on his own accord, there were only two people who he could talk to. Although, they seemed to be always a bad influence on him.
As of the moment, the uninteresting occurrences were transpiring.
"Hey, do you really think we can trust her?!" Raten shouted as he asked. "We knew something was up and it looks like we were right, working for Pure. Who knows what she's already told them."
"They could be after Quinn." Sil said while continuing to rock back and forth.
"Guys, will you all just calm down!" Vorden hollered, annoyed of his companions' complaints. "Sil, I know you're worried, but if Layla has done something, I think Pure or her would have done something by now. Yet, no harm has come to him."
With these words, Sill's gradually slowed down the motion he had been doing. This was a sign that Sil was starting to calm down a little. Now, Vorden needed to deal with another person. The more riled up Raten got, it would affect Sil to a similar level.
Vorden's aim was always to keep Sil as calm as possible at any point in time. If Sil wanted to, he was the only one who could remove anyone from the chair.
There was always this fear with Vorden -- Although he wanted the best for Sil, if Sil ever did remain on the chair, what did that mean for both him and Raten?
"What about the next portal outing?" Raten queried. "What if she plans to make her next move then? We need to find her real goal. Actually… scratch that. No risks, just off with her we go."
"Fine." Vorden replied, giving in to the idea. He knew firsthand that if he didn't do something, Raten would continue down this path and eventually, he would make Sil worry. "Then, I will go talk to Layla."
A few moments passed, Vorden could be seen walking around the school aimlessly, searching for all the popular spots where the other students would usually hang out at. Regrettably for him, as he arrived at each area, he did not find any trace of Layla.
'Who does Layla even hang around with?' Vorden contemplated on the matter. As he reminisced, he thought of the two students who were the sole people that he had seen Layla talk to - They were Quinn and Erin.
Presently, with Erin gone and Quinn consistently spending his time in the VR pod, it meant that Layla would be most likely in her room. Thus, Vorden proceeded to go to the dorms to try and meet Layla.
After a few minutes, he landed at his destination. With a knock on the door, a female student answered it. That was the first time that Vorden had ever seen her. The most prominent feature of the lady was her short black hair, with a fringe that cascaded her face, nearly covering the entirety of her right eye.
Her name was Cia and she was the third person who was occupying Erin and Layla's room.
"What do you want, blondie?" Cia said with an irked tone in her voice, seemingly bothered by Vorden's appearance.
"Is Layla there?" Vorden asked.
"Are you her boyfriend?" Cia said as she scanned Vorden's body from head to toe. "I'm guessing you two had an argument or something, judging how she's been since yesterday. Or maybe, it was the fact that she found out her best friends were terrorists, but she's not here."
This was the explanation the school had given - That eight students had been found with connections to the group known as Pure and were taken to the dungeon as a form of punishment.
"She's not a terrorist," Vorden mumbled. He didn't know why, yet hearing Erin's name trashed like that by a stranger, who didn't know the truth of the whole matter, really annoyed him.
"Whatever man. Look, if you want to find layla, she's usually by the back of the building, sitting on the bench just underneath the large tree. Erin and her would often go there together."
With that piece of information, Vorden left without saying another word. Most commonly than not, he would be a bit more polite. However, something about Cia just rubbed him the wrong way.
"Oh pretty boy!" Cia shouted. "If you and Layla aren't an item, then feel free to pop a visit in my room anytime." She said, winking at him as she closed the door.
"Now, that's my type." Raten said.
"Shut up." Vorden replied as he went off to the location that Cia had informed him about.
The sun had already set and the darkness encompassed the sky. Although it still wasn't very late, usually, the sun would set after seven in the evening. While walking to the location though, Vorden felt like it would be strange to be seen anywhere in the area.
It might be fine in the middle of the day, but at night was plainly bizarre. As he turned the corner, he did indeed see someone sitting alone on a bench right underneath a tree.
Vorden moved in closer and closer. Eventually, he reached the spot in front of her. It wasn't until the last moment that Layla lifted her head up. Her eyes were bloodshot and her face was a little swollen. There were signs indicating that she had been crying for most of the night.
"Vorden, what do you want?" Layla asked in a rude tone. She had just lost her best friend, and the last person she wanted to see was lingering before her eyes.
"I think we need to talk about whether or not I can trust you?" Vorden asked.
"This again." Layla moned. "Here, why should I care if you even trust me or not? Let's put it straight, Vorden. Me and you are not friends and we probably never will be. Especially since you keep acting like this all the time."
"Look, Layla, I need to know. I thought it was fine, but now that I know you're a part of Pure…"
"So what?" Layla interrupted Vorden. "I was in Pure this whole time before everything started. The only difference now is that you guys know about it. That hasn't changed who I am, and let me ask you. Aren't you going around accusing me all the time? But what about you? Why do you care so much about Quinn?"
At this point, Layla had stood up from the bench and was starting to inch closer towards Vorden. Accordingly, he continued to step back every time she took a step forward. Withal, it wasn't because he was scared of her, but because of the voices in his head.
"If she takes one more step closer to us Vorden and you don't do anything about it, I swear..." Raten said, his tone a tad threatening.
"Shut up!" Vorden shouted as he grabbed his head. "Layla, I need to trust you. If I can't trust you, then I'm afraid of what will happen to you." When Vorden spoke of these words, he wasn't saying them in his usual tone of voice.
Layla picked up on this, since he had said it sincerely and it made Layla frightened a little. She knew something was up with Vorden, but wasn't sure just what.
'Perhaps, it was a drawback of his powerful ability?' She thought 'But just what was happening to Vorden? And why did he give so much attachment to Quinn?
"Then tell me, Vorden, what can I do to prove I'm on your side?" She asked.
Fortunately, Vorden had prepared an answer for this question. Hence, as he walked over to her, it was the only thing he could think of. "Let Quinn turn you into a vampire. That way, I know that you're on his side."

Chapter 221 Peter into Pio
Layla's anger bubbled within her at such a question. She wanted to shout and ask the same question to him! Why couldn't he do it as well? He could get turned as well. And yet despite wanting to ask such a question on why he couldn't do the same… she already knew the answer. It was the loss of the ability of Vorden. He was already strong on his own and proved himself a good asset to the team. His skills were versatile and had helped them out several times because of that.
While for her it didn't mean much. Her powers were quite weak only being a level 2. In fact, she had even bought a level three ability book before hoping to improve her powers but there was no such luck. She was one of the unfortunate souls that even with money weren't able to increase the strength of her ability. She was stuck at level two this was her bottleneck.
"I want to Vorden, but it's too risky right now." She replied.
At first, when Layla had met Quinn and had experienced what happened to her, she really did want him to turn her. Growing up the only form of entertainment she had was books. It was her escape from her time at the Pure base.
Day in and out, they would constantly show videos, have classes and training related to their goal. Then when she could finally relax she took her time reading fantasy stories of the old. Often in the books, it would talk of a vampire sweeping a girl away from all her problems and taking them to a new world, away from everything.
After meeting Quinn this was what had attracted her, but at the same time she couldn't forget about the reality of why she was at the base in the first place. Her mind kept straying away and reminding her she needed to stick to the cause.
So she had planned to inform Pure of her findings, a way to make their members stronger without using abilities. However, as she grew closer to Quinn she was afraid what would happen to him if she was to reveal to Pure what he was.
There was always the chance that Pure wouldn't be okay with it. Sometimes the organisation's actions even confused her with how they worked and what they deemed okay. In a way, beast weapons that they used were just like abilities, with those more powerful than others.
Did Pure distribute them equally to their followers? Yet, they deemed this as okay. Then when she saw what happened with Peter, second thoughts were running through her head. IF Layla were to do those things then she didn't know how she would face her family.
She wasn't very close with them but her mother was all she knew and all she had right now.
"If I go off the radar, stop reporting to Pure and choose to be by Quinn's side, they could run an investigation. They might think at first what happened to me was the same as everyone else, but they would quickly find out I was still okay. They would then look into me send higher-ups and then Quinn would be in even more trouble." Layla explained. "When the time is right, I promise I will be by Quinn's side."
Although she had said this she still wasn't sure herself. When it came between choosing Pure over Quinn right now she would still choose Pure where her family was and now Erin as well.
After hearing her explanation it seemed Layla had made a lot of sense. She could be lying about the whole thing but Vorden didn't really know how Pure worked. Right now, everything was okay so he wouldn't want to stir the pot anymore.
"It's not just about Pure," Vorden replied. "You're too weak to help and it seems like you will cause more problems for us in the future than help. At least you might be of some use to us if you're turned."
These last words that Vorden had spoken were the biggest hit to Layla. She knew this, her whole life she felt like this even within the Pure organisation. She wasn't any help to her mother, she wasn't any help to her friends and she couldn't even help that much when her friend needed her.
"Vorden, can I ask?!" She shouted and focused her thoughts elsewhere, "How did you know I was here?"
This area she was in right now was a place where she and Erin would often just hang out with the two of them. There were never many students here so she was surprised Vorden was able to find her.
"Your roommate told me!" Vorden shouted back as he walked away.
"Roommate, Cia? How would she know? I'm surprised she actually paid attention to me and Erin. She was always just off doing her own thing. Maybe that girl is a sweeter person than she looks."
The next day had arrived, and it had now been a couple of days since the whole event with Truedream was over and done with. The school no longer searched for the missing students, after doing a sweep of the school, it looked like none of the students had seen Peter or Erin.
In the end, they deemed that the video that had been sent must have been true and they were too late. Things were starting to get back to normal. With this, Logan had made preparations for today was the day that the student known as Pio Blank would return.
With the help of Leo, they were able to gain access to the portal room once again. The security surrounding the place wasn't as on high alert now and being a sergeant Leo had privileges to use the room as he wished.
Sometimes the sergeants would visit other planets to brush up their skills hunting beasts on the portals. Or maybe even visit a few family and friends.
Leo was able to sneak Peter into the room and with him, several of Logan's mechanical little spiders. After that, Leo left the room and it was all down to Peter.
"You ready?" Peter said.
Everything had been prepared beforehand. The wristwatch had been altered to indicate the pulse of a living person along with the level 4 ability and Logan had also made a few adjustments in the other rooms, that he still hadn't informed the others about.
With Logan's ability and the use of his spiders, he didn't personally have to be anywhere to make adjustments. Logan was able to freely control the metallic spiders however he wished. Using his computer he was also able to monitor and here everything that was going on in those rooms.
IF the spiders were ever spotted, they had a certain pattern on them that made them just look like any other spider. Form time to time, people would attempt to splatter them, but Logan would try his best to scurry them away before that happened.
At the moment, even Peter's clothing had looked roughed up to indicate he was either travelling through the desert or even going from shelter to shelter at the time until he had found his way back.
With everything set and done. Logan pressed a key on his keyboard. At the same time in a different location, in the school's security office, a signal was detected.
"There has been a signal activated from one of the portals." A man said. "Send word to anyone nearby immediately."
It didn't take long for the two guards by the door to enter the portal room and find Pio immediately. Hayley soon came along with Fay to check on who had made the signal. The main reason why the generals were called was just in case it was a beast that had managed to enter through the portals.
"That's one of the missing students!" Fay shouted as soon as she saw Peter. She had recognised him since she had dealt with their case files. She had looked at the five students who had supposedly died that day over and over again.
"Quick, Hayley takes him to the medical facility; we need to check that he's all healthy. This is the first bit of good news we have had in quite a while."
Right now inside Logan's room, Quinn and the others were standing over him, and as they heard those words they all looked at each other in horror.

Chapter 222 Unlocking the code
"Hey, when have I ever messed up?" Logan complained. "It's pretty obvious that as soon as they find a student who has been missing for a while, and comes back in tattered clothes from a planet that had suffered a Dalki attack, the first thing they would do is take him to the medical facility."
It was something the others hadn't thought about. They had all been to busy and focused with their own problems and kinda thought this would be it. All they could do right now was believe in Logan's words and trust that he was able to figure out a good plan.
As they took Peter to the medical facility, Hayley went ahead and ran a general check on Peter's condition. There wasn't much she needed to do as technology had come quite a way and she noticed he didn't have any physical wounds on his body.
This meant there was no need for her to personally use her ability to heal anything on the outside.
She hooked Peter up to a large tube-like machine, while also placing several little of what appeared to be white stickers all over his body. The machine would show his internals and display his insides, as well as see if there was something wrong with any of his organs, including his heart. It further looked into the details of his blood pressure and all sorts of vitals.
And, everything could be done with the single use of the machine. This was were Logan's ability had come to its advantage. Beforehand, before this all happened, Logan was able to fake a sickness and enter the medical facility. During this time, he had touched each and every machine available there.
While doing so, he had taken control of the machines making them feel alive. He could now give them commands and they would follow them whenever he wanted to.
The others sat their nervously, as Hayley would continue to jot down information on her little tablet every now and then. she would look on the screen and then go back to her tablet.
"It looks like you're in perfect condition," Hayley said as Peter lifted himself out of the machine. "Now I just need to ask you a few questions."
Once again, the others listening in on everything were a little worried. But as she asked him questions, Peter had answered everything perfectly. Hearing this, Logan was nodding his head proudly, but the others weren't too sure.
The problem was, Peter had answered them all too perfectly. Answering almost immediately and in a robot-like voice.
Hayley continued with her questions while a soldier stood by her side, noting down everything. She had even asked about what had happened to him before this point.
Logan had come up with a backstory that was plausible according to the situation. It detailed about when the Dalki had attacked their group, he had run away and escaped. The only problem was that all his equipment had been left behind and he had no clue where he was.
He travelled through the desert for numerous days, managing to feed himself using the survival skills the school had taught him, eventually reaching a shelter. The problem was that it was the wrong shelter. The shelter only had teleporters that linked to other planets and none back to earth or the military base, but he found out the shelter he had come from wasn't too far.
He stayed until he regained his strength and purchased a map leading him to the original shelter and eventually returned back to the military base.
Once the questioning was over. Hayley left Peter to be with a soldier guarding him as he rested while she went off to give a report to Nathan.
"So, how is the boy?" Nathan asked.
"Thankfully, he seems to be in perfect condition health-wise but…" Hayley hesitated.
"But what?" Nathan replied.
"It seems like his mind isn't all there. Sometimes, his response was quite rigid and there seemed to be a lack of emotion. When checking Pio before, he didn't have any of these signs. Although this could be due to the trauma of being attacked by the Dalki; perhaps, he will come around in the future."
"That's great news!" Nathan said. "As long as the student is fine, it will be okay. We can inform his parents about the good news for now. They don't need to know about the rest until later. There is no use worrying them over nothing if he is to return to normal soon. Have him rejoin classes tomorrow."
"But sir!" Hayley complained, "Don't you think it's too soon to send him out again? He has only just come back."
"You might be right about that; inform the student and let him decide. If he wishes to go then, let him."
"As you wish, sir," Hayley said before returning.
As Hayley left the room, Nathan went to pick up the files on his desk as he read through them one by one, he felt like pulling his hair out. he had a stressful few days coming up. His way of thinking would often clash with the military's current way.
But this time he thought it was too much.
"An orange portal outing, just what are they thinking?" Nathan said.
It seemed like Peter's disguise had worked and they had bought Logan's plan. Quinn didn't quite know how he did it but, he knew it was something only he good could do.
With the tension now gone, it really did seem like their group finally had no more problems to deal with. There was still the matter with Duke, but now with Peter gone, there was no direction. They would just have to wait for him to make his next move against Vorden and to slip up somewhere.
It was late that night and the others had left the room to go to sleep. Just before they left the room, Fex had spotted something on Logan's workbench. It was the square-shaped portable teleporter.
While the others were busy saying their goodbyes and having a friendly chat with each other, Fex decided to move closer to have a look. The workbench wasn't your usual type of workbench.
There were several tools designed there just for Logan's use. There were even several computer screens just above the workbench. Right now, it looked like he had the square teleport device hooked up via some cables leading upward to the computer screen.
On the screen above was a random list of numbers, spanning long rows and rows of different sequence of numbers. The machine was going through different sequences at an alarming rate and each time, the number would blink red and go onto the next sequence.
'He can't be trying to crack the thing, can he? I thought these things were meant to be unbreakable." But Fex wasn't so naive. Perhaps the Vampires thought the devices were pretty secure but after witnessing what Logan was able to do time and time again, he thought maybe there was the chance Logan would be able to crack the code.
'This is bad.' Fex thought. The square portable teleporters were different from the round ones the earthlings used. They were a lot more advanced. The circular teleporters were set to go to one destination only.
While the square ones worked more like a teleport station. An access code needed to be put in and depending on which access code was used, it would teleport you to the correct station. This was how Fex was able to arrive on earth, through a similar type of teleporter.
The problem was there being two types of square teleporters, with each slightly different in design. On the top where the code was to be inputted, it could either be green or red. Green meant it was able to be used to travel to any teleport station, this included the ones on other planets, not just earth.
The one inside of Logan's room had a red panel on top. Similar to the circle portals, they had one destination and one destination only, it was back to the place where Fex had come form.
He had realised this before but thought nothing much of it because, without the access code, Logan would never be able to use the teleporter.
But looking at the screen, Fex didn't know when, but soon, he would have access to the teleporter.

Chapter 223 A new Team
As everyone walked off and headed back to their rooms, Fex managed to pull Quinn to the side just before they were about to part ways. After all, Fex and Quinn's rooms were on the opposite ends of the hall.
"Just a little warning to you, Quinn. The device that Logan had been tinkering around with on his workbench, it's a portal leading back home. If he discovers the access code and where it goes to, you need to do everything you can to stop him. Otherwise, the two of us will be found out and we will be in big trouble."
Finished with what he wanted to say, Fex quickly left Quinn before he could even ask any questions.
"What was that all about?" Quinn murmured.
He then decided to think carefully about the words Fex had said. The device on his workbench was the teleportation device that had been created by Richard Eno. Quinn knew of this fact only thanks to the systems inspect skill and then later had informed Logan.
By home, there could only be one place Fex was talking about. It was where the vampires came from. Still unsure whether or not that was somewhere on earth or another planet. But most likely from the hints given out so far, it seems like at somewhere along the way, between when the systems creator was a vampire and the vampires now, they had moved from the earth and relocated to another planet. or at least a place hidden from the human eye.
He understood that if Logan was to figure it out, he needed to stop him. The only thing Quinn didn't understand was why Fex seemed so concerned. If Logan was to travel through the portal, why would he get in trouble?
It started to make Quinn think of his first meeting with Fex. He mentioned something along of the lines that he wasn't meant to be here. Is that the reason why Fex hadn't acted against Quinn? If he was to be found out then, he would be in trouble as well. And, based on what he said just now, he had basically confirmed it.
If this was all true then, Quinn didn't need to worry about Fex.
"If what you are thinking is along those lines, then I'm afraid the situation is worse," The system said. "Based on the boy's young age and at the same time, his great skill. It would be wise to assume he holds a high position in one of the vampire families. If he is not here on orders then, they will send others on his trail to retrieve him. We need to be careful."
All of this meant one thing; it was another reminder for Quinn to get stronger and be quick in doing so.
The next day, the first-year students were called into the assembly hall for a meeting once again. It was a little bit of a surprise but, they assumed it either had something to do with the next portal outing that was to be held this weekend or the Inter military base event in a couple of weeks.
As Vorden lined up next to Quinn, the two of them looked around the room and eventulley spotted Peter. Peter had been asked whether he wanted a break before joining the school again, and they even asked him if he wanted to take part in the next outing.
They had expected him to say no, but to their surprise, Peter had insisted to be taken on board, claiming that he wanted to get more experience as soon as possible in order to prevent such a thing happening to him again.
The real reason though, was because Quinn had asked him to. It was important for Quinn to keep Peter as close as possible to him.
While Vorden was looking around the room, his eyes had managed to catch the female student Cia. She was standing right by Layla, which was expected since the two of them were roommates.
Vorden started thinking back at the girl's strange words and just then, the two of their eyes met. Cia noticed this and blew over a kiss towards Vorden. Seeing this, Vorden quickly turned away.
"What is wrong with that girl, no class at all. Nothing like Erin." Vorden quietly complained.
"You prefer that lame ice girl to her? What is wrong with you?" Raten said.
Onto the stage walked Nathan. It was the first time many of the first-year students had seen him. Usually, a general would hardly ever talk to the students unless it was something important which made the students fidget and slightly worry.
"Okay, I'm not one for speeches; so, let's get to the point," Nathan said. "The portal outing on the weekend; I'm here to tell you all it won't be like usual. This year, the military has decided to expand their operation and get more aggressive in planetary explorations." Nathan explained.
"So, what does that mean for you guys? Well, instead of the normal Green portal, you guys get to jump ahead and explore an Orange portal instead."
Hearing the news, the students suddenly broke into gossip.
"An Orange portal this soon, I thought they only did that with the second years."
"What if we run into high-level beasts?"
"Why would they do this to us, especially after the Dalki attack?"
"Silence!" Nathan shouted as he slammed his fist down onto the podium. Nathan rarely got angry but he knew he had to calm down the crowd before it got out of control. The other factor was he really didn't think this was the right decision.
It was too early for them and they could seriously hurt themselves but, his boss Paul had ordered it and he had to follow.
"Worry not for there will be two sergeants sent out with you on this journey. Leo, head of the beast weapon class and Fay; these are two of our strongest generals, so even if you do run into high-level beasts, they should be able to help you. I will now let Fay explain how the portal outing will work for all of you."
Fay then took over and walked to the podium. By the time she had arrived, Nathan had already left the hall. He had already done everything he needed to do.
"An Orange portal outing is different from the Green portal outing you did before. The Green outing is focused on competition between each group but, the Orange outings focus on working together. Each class will travel together in groups of fifty. The main goal is exploration. Portal planets have yet to be fully explored. Each class will head in a different direction but we shall remain close to each other.
"You will remain in your teams of five while traveling in the larger group of fifty. Each team will be given a certain device that would be used to survey the land and map out the terrain. The data recorded will be used to automatically create a world map and other maps for future use on the planet.
"More details will be explained once the devices have been given to you. It will also go into depth about how points will be distributed per each team. For those of you who lost members on the last trip and a few new faces, please fill into those groups lacking members. If all teams are filled, please come to me; I will randomly assign you to a group. Please do this now." Fay commanded.
The hall of students quickly shifted around with everyone getting into the same groups they were in before. Quinn, Vorden, and Layla reminded in one group. Technically, Peter and Erin had left their group so there were two spaces left vacant.
Peter, now known as Pio had decided to come over to join Quinn's group. This had been the plan all along.
"So, what do we do about the fifth person?" Vorden Inquired.
As Quinn looked around the room, he noticed once again that Fex was all on his own. During his time at school, he really hadn't spent time with anyone else other than Quinn and the others. And due to the low level indicated on his watch, the other teams that were laking in people totally avoided eye contact with him.
Seeing this, Quinn shouted, "Fex, come join us over here!"

Chapter 224 An Addition
Some of the others thought that what Quinn was trying to do wasn't the right move. They were sure that Fex was hiding something, but at the same time, they weren't surprised. Recently, Quinn and Fex had been hanging out with each other more often, so an occurrence as such was expected.
"Perhaps, this is an instance of keeping your friends close but your enemies closer," Vorden said as quietly as possible. Right now, he was standing next to Layla. Thus, he had said those words loud enough just for her to hear, even slightly leaning his body towards her ear.
As Layla looked up, she could see Vorden staring down at her. After meeting his gaze, she knew that the comment was being directed at her.
There was the urge inside her to retaliate and say something back, but after their last conversation, she just felt defeated.
All of a sudden, Fex came rushing over towards the others. The group didn't really know what to say. They hadn't;t really attempted to make much conversation with him because they were afraid they might say something that would give Quinn away. After all, they were aware of the awkward situation he was in. So they would just allow Quinn to deal with it.
"I guess you guys realized how lame your group is." Fex said, his tone indicated that he was proud of himself. "So, you immediately needed me to boost it up a level. Well, if you really insist."
Upon hearing that, an awkward smile made its way to Quinn's face. He merely wanted to be close to Fex, hoping he could eventually learn more about the vampire world. After what happened on the last portal outing, he became incredibly worried.
Although Quinn had gotten stronger, he still wasn't strong enough to deal with the weakest of the Dalki. Also, he couldn't imagine how powerful the vampires, who were coming after Fex, would be.
Accordingly, one thing was simple - He needed to get stronger faster. There were only two days left before the next portal outing. As he thought about ways to boost his strength, there were a few things that came into his mind.
One, he still hadn't studied with the new tutorial videos that had been unlocked after learning the vampire martial arts. Adding more variety to his attack skills would always come in handy.
Another way for Quinn to get stronger was to obtain more skill points. There were several shadow skills he had yet to unlock. However, to get stat points, he needed to level up his current shadow abilities.
And the final way to get stronger was to increase his stats. He could either level up, but the amount of exp required for the next level up would increase significantly. By just playing the game, he wouldn't be able to make a measly dent on it. He could go around challenging random people. Nevertheless, while the others thought he was a level one and with the school on alert, that wouldn't be in the list of his best ideas.
Still, there was another way that he could utilize to increase his stats and strength - It was entirely unique to him and that was by obtaining the blood of as many different people as possible. When Quinn saw how useful Fex' charm ability was, he felt like there might be a way for him to quickly do this.
However, when he had tried this method on a few students as he passed the halls, it was unsuccessful for the most part. To the few that they were successful on, Quinn could only remove their memory, yet was unable to command them to move.
This meant that it wasn't much use unless he could find a student that would fit the criteria of the skill. If he wanted to go through with this plan, he would need more stat points in his charm skill, which just led him back to the original problem.
'Are there any other ways to get blood?' As Quinn thought about this, the image of the city hospital suddenly popped into his head, again. Still, he would have a problem with the cameras. For now, he would just have to focus on upgrading his shadow abilities along with learning the tutorial videos.
While everyone was huddled up in their groups, there seemed to be three stray students that had walked up to the front of the assembly hall, going straight to stand by Fay's side.
As she looked into the crowd of people, she started to look at each of the groups. Every single one of them was already filled with five people.
"You over there." Fay said, pointing to one student and then to the next from another group.
"You there, and you…" She surveyed the room one more time and her eye had managed to capture Vorden, who was just at the back. Fay had seen his face on documents more times than she would have liked, so she decided to let his group deal with the remaining student.
"And you, you can head to those at the back." She said.
The others were too preoccupied with their conversations, busy talking about what they might expect to find in an orange portal planet. Vorden was the one with the most knowledge in the group, and he was saying how it varied from place to place.
The orange portal was in the midst of two stages. Once the whole Planet had been explored, they would use the information that they had gathered to update it's status to green or red. Although it was usually a task that would take a few months to accomplish, so it was unlikely they would be able to get much done.
Just then, a voice echoed loudly within the hall.
"Hello?" Cia said as she entered the circle. She then turned her head towards Vorden and started to wave her hand in front of the young man's face.
"You," Vorden replied, shocked that he saw Cia. "What are you doing here? Look, I'm not interested."
"Well, that's a shame, but it looks like you're stuck with me." Cia replied.
She proceeded to glance at Layla and gave her a wave too.
Meanwhile, Quinn became curious about what was happening, so he decided to inquire, "What do you mean?"
"Sergeant Fay has asked me to join your team. You see, the team I was in before, well, it turns out that three of them were part of Pure, so the two of us had no other groups to go to . That is the reason why Fay told me to go with you guys." Cia explained.
'This was unexpected and a little bit annoying' Quinn thought as he prevented his emotion from showing.
Right now, everyone in their team knew of each other's abilities. However, Cia knew nothing. She didn't know that Layla was part of Pure, Quinn and Fex were a vampire, and Peter's identity. If she was to join the team, it would only slow them down.
Cia then looked at each of the members. "So I'm already acquainted with the Hottie and Puppy eyes over there." She said, referring to both Vorden and Layla. "But what about the rest of you."
She gave them an intense stare, and it seemed like they were a very strange bunch for the young lady. Latterly, she pointed at each one of them as she continued to provide them nicknames.
"Average joe over there." Pointing to Quinn.
"Dead eyes." Pointing to Peter.
"And…" When she got to Fex, she paused slightly.
As of the moment, he had turned on his charm and was trying to draw her in as much as possible. First impressions were always important to him and he wanted to make a good one.
"Go on then," Fex said. "Compliment me on my good looks."
"Arrogant young master type." She said.
This surprised Fex greatly. Although his charm might have not completely persuaded her, it should have had some effect, though it seemed there was none.
Cia looked defeated and appeared like she didn't want to be in the group at all, not realising that they felt the same way, especially after her words.
"Well, we better get to introducing everyone then. If we have to work as a team, I guess the first thing we need to know about is everyone's abilities right?" Cia asked.
