Humans who had hidden in the shadows for hundreds of years, people with abilities. Some chose to share their knowledge to the rest of the world in hopes of winning the war, while others kept their abilities to themselves. Quinn had lost everything to the war.

Chapter 1 Just an old Book

"Don't die by falling over Quinn! "A boy shouted down the hallway.

Quin carried on walking down the school corridor. Harassment had become a daily occurrence for him but it still bothered him just as much every day and he couldn't help himself but retaliate.

Quinn stopped and pushed his glasses back up as they had slipped down from his face. He needed a new pair and just from looking at them, you could tell they were heavily worn. The sides were covered with tape and they didn't even fit straight on his face.

Quinn then turned around and immediately gave the middle finger.

"I bet you don't even know how many fingers I'm holding up!"

The boy clenched his fist and started running towards Quinn.

"You level 1 piece of crap! When are you going to learn that you don't belong in this world?"

The boy then placed both of his hands together and a green ball of light started to form. When he was only a few meters away from Quinn, the boy threw his hands forward and the green light shot out from the palm of his hands.

Quinn had nowhere to go and the beam of light was too fast for him to dodge. All he could do was grit his teeth and bear the pain. As the light hit Quinn, his body was lifted into the air and sent flying backwards into the corridor wall.

"What's going on?" One of the students nearby said. "Are they fighting on the last day of school?"

A crowd had immediately formed outside as people were interested in what the commotion was about. One of the female students ran over to the damaged part of the wall to check on the student's safety.

The dust started to settle and Quinn's slightly curly black hair was coming into view. When eventually the dust all cleared up and the female saw who it was, she immediately backed away and continued her business as if nothing happened.

When the female student had returned to her friends, Quinn could see that they were laughing at her.

"I can't believe you tried to help him."

"I didn't see who it was." The girl retorted with flushed cheeks.

After that, Quinn stood up and picked his glasses up off the floor. Once again one of the sides had fallen off.

"Dam it. Not again..."

It was the last day of school for Quinn and he was hoping just once someone wouldn't try anything with him. Quinn was sick and tired of it and he wasn't the type to ignore it either. He had seen people who had chosen to keep their head down and tolerate the harassment and their treatment was far worse than what he got.

Quinn didn't bother to stay at school like the rest of the students. As he walked past, he saw people talking to each other. Some were laughing while some had tears thinking it was the last time they would ever see each other again but Quinn wasn't a part of any of that and he didn't want to be.

When he finally arrived home, Quinn immediately got to work. Quinn lived in a single bedroom apartment that had just enough space to fit a single bed and desk. There was also a TV that was part of the wall but Quinn would only use it as background noise and didn't actually watch anything.

ChapterMid();

The apartment was provided to him by the government since he had no living relatives and was still only 16. On top of his bed was a single suit case that had all his belongings neatly packed.

When Quinn entered his room, he immediately pulled his drawer open which contained a book inside. It was a large thick book that weighed about half a kilo. The front of the book was black in colour and in the centre, it had a ring with lines going off in all different directions.

"Let's try again today." Quinn said as he placed the book on the desk.

He then immediately went to his bag to pull out a little test tube which had a clear liquid inside.

"Test 112, Hydrochloric acid. Let's see how it goes." Quinn then started to slowly pour the liquid out of the test tube and onto the book.

"So far no reaction." Quinn then continued to pour the whole test tube onto the book but still there was no reaction.

Quinn carefully examined the book to see if there was any damage done but the book looked the same as always.

"Another failure. Why won't you open? Why did mum and dad even have this thing?"

One hundred twelve times. This was the number of different ways that Quinn had tried to open the book. Not only would the book not open, but it seemed like it wasn't able to be damaged either. Quin had tried burning the book, cutting the book, melting the book...but nothing had worked.

Quinn then went to lie on his bed and turned on the TV for some background noise. He never really paid attention to what was on but the sound of other voices made him feel less lonely.

The TV was currently tuned into the news station.

"The peace treaty with the Dalki race has lasted for five years now but officials say that tension is rising once again and we must prepare for another war…."

The mention of war had always been shown on the TV nonstop since that day. Thirty years ago, the human race received a visit from the so-called Dalki. They looked like humans except for their dragon-like tail and scale-like skin.

They immediately demanded that the Human race hand over their resources and wanted to use them as slaves. Of course, the humans decided to fight back but they quickly found out that their modern technology was useless against them. Bullets couldn't penetrate their skin and as for tanks, well Dalki had airships.

Every man and woman was told to fight for their planet and that included Quinn's parents. The war went on for years and Quinn grew up not knowing what his parents looked like.

When the humans were on the brink of defeat, a select few came forward. These people had special abilities. They began sharing their knowledge of how they obtained such power in hopes of turning the tide in the war and it worked. Even so, the Dalki were still strong and a seemingly endless stalemate lead to the peace treaty signing five years ago.

Of course, human greed got the better of humanity and instead of sharing these powers with everyone, the higher ranked governmental officials decided to keep them for themselves. Only those with money were able to learn the more powerful abilities while everyone else was left with scraps.

Quinn was given nothing when his parents died. The government agreed to pay for his living accommodation while he was still in school but that was it. When his parents died at the age of ten, an agent appeared at his doorstep and handed him a book. He was told this was the only thing his parents possessed which they passed down when they died.

"Why is the world so unfair?"

Quinn got out of his bed and started walking over to his desk. He picked up his glasses that were still slightly broken and decided he needed to fix them. He noticed that one of the lenses was slightly out of place and tried to punch it back into its frame.

"Come on, just get in!" He shouted as he pushed down hard.

The lens suddenly smashed into pieces and one of the shards of glass created a deep gash in his thumb.

"Why does the world hate me."

Quinn immediately started to clean up the little pieces of glass and noticed a piece had landed on top of his book. As Quinn removed the piece of glass, a drop of blood from his thumb landed in the centre of the book.

The ring around the centre of the book started to glow and suddenly the book started to lift itself into the air.

"What the hell is happening!"

The book started to shine brightly and shake uncontrollably. It finally opened up and page after page was being turned. Quinn couldn't take his eyes off the shining book as if he was in a deep trance. The words written in the book weren't in any language he had seen before but for some reason, he felt like he could understand it.

When the book finally turned its last page, it started to disappear as if it was slowly turning to dust. At the same time, Quinn's vision was starting to fade. His body felt weak and his eyes slowly shut.

But just before he passed out, there was a single message that he heard.

Congratulations you have been granted the Va...

Unable to maintain consciousness long enough to hear the final words, Quinn passed out.

Chapter 2: Daily Quest

Gradually, Quinn's eyelids started to flutter open and his vision soon returned. Although, his head felt heavy and his body was slightly sore. As he lifted himself off of the ground, he touched his head to see if he had gotten any injuries.

'Why does my head hurt so much?' He thought, bewildered of what just happened to him.

After making sure that his skull hadn't split open from falling over, Quinn then went to pick up his glasses that were thrown on the floor not to far from him. Regrettably, there was only one lens that was left intact, still, Quinn put the glasses on out of habit. All of a sudden, he felt a little disoriented and his vision was slightly blurry.

He took them back off and noticed that his vision only turned hazy when he put the glasses on. Quinn immediately rushed to his desk to grab a pencil. He proceeded to draw the letter "A" on the wall and stepped back. He continued to step back until his back had hit the wall that was on the other side of the room.

"What?! But how?!" Quinn screamed in his mind.

Somehow, Quinn's vision was now perfect. He had lived his whole life with terrible eyesight, but strangely, he could now see clearly. Images then started to flash in his head regarding what had happened before he passed out. After reminiscing, he could only think of one thing that caused the miracle - The book.

When Quinn surveyed the room, he started to panic.

"The book! Where the hell's the book?"

Quinn looked everywhere for the book, yet he couldn't find anything. It couldn't have gone missing in such a small room, so its disappearance was making Quinn go mad.

"Maybe it's like my socks. They go missing all the time. Ahh, don't be stupid. This is a book we're talking about, not a sock." He muttered, trying to reason the uncanny comparison.

Quinn attempted to think hard about what had occurred a few moments before he collapsed. He suddenly started to remember the book hovering in the air. Then, just before closing his eyes, he heard a few words.

"What was it? It sounded like some type of system message?"

As soon as Quinn said those words, a status screen had appeared right in front of his eyes.

User: Quinn Talen

Race: Human

Level 1

0/100 exp

HP 10/10

Strength: 10

Agility: 10

Stamina: 10

"Wow! It's like those really old games that people used to play all the time."

Quinn noticed that, on the status screen, there were more tabs that were placed on the top. Accordingly, even without doing anything and just by reading the tabs in his head, the screen automatically switched to the Skills tab.

Skills

0 skill points available

Skill locked????

Skill locked????

On the skills tab, Quinn wasn't really able to see much. Everything seemed to be locked and slightly greyed out, so he quickly moved on to the next tab, Shop.

Shop

Unlocks at level 10

"Can I do anything?"

The last tab was the Quest tab. Finally, it seemed like a tab that wasn't locked behind a requirement.

Main Quest

Reach level 10

Daily Quest: Drink two litres of water

Reward: 5 exp

After checking everything that the system had to offer, Quinn had to just think about closing the system and it did. When Quinn thought about opening it again, a screen would immediately pop up in front of him.

Quinn could only think of one thing - The book that his parents had left him was an ability book. These books could often be bought at very high prices from the military or a company. Some were even sold on the market place.

However, the sole issue was that Quinn had never heard of an ability book that promptly disappeared, granting the user a system such as the one he currently had. The ability books were designed to be learnt manually. It wasn't something that one could pick up and instantly understand how to use.

A smile started to slowly appear on Quinn's face. This was great news for him. He had always been a level 1 ability user because he could never afford to buy any ability books. To his fortune, he had something that he could use. He readily contemplated on what to do and ended up moving on to the next phase, which was testing the ability.

"Water bending, come on!" Quinn said as he raised his right palm forward, acting like he was going to shoot water out or cause it to flow from the kitchen sink.

"Ok next! Wind, Wind, out!" Quinn did the same again, but there was nothing happening.

After trying out many different things according to all the abilities that he had seen before, it turned out that he was unable to perform any of them.

"What the hell is this useless thing? Is it really just a system ability?"

Quinn thought about it for a while. If it truly was like a game, then perhaps, by completing the quests, he would eventually get stronger and unlock more skills. It was his mistake that he was treating it like an ordinary ability book when clearly, what he had obtained wasn't something that conformed to the word ordinary.

Usually, ability books were based around one ability. It was important for a person to select their first ability book since a regular human body would only be able to perform one ability attribute. If one got transformability as their first ability, they would only be able to acquire other skills that were related to this attribute. For example, if someone obtained fire as their attribute, they could solely dedicate themselves into gathering skills that the attribute fire could utilize.

Quinn went to open his mini-fridge, grabbing the bottles of water that were inside. He soon began downing the water bottles one by one.

"Damn, how much are two litres? My belly feels like it's going to burst."

After finishing his fourth bottle of water, a new notification message had appeared.

Daily Quest complete, 5 exp has been granted

5/100

"Well, at least I know how the system works now," Quinn said, satisfaction was evident in his tone.

Unanticipatedly, a loud knock was heard coming from the door. Quinn quickly went and opened it. As he opened the passageway, standing in front of him was a large, muscular, bald-headed man wearing a black military uniform. Also, there were several medals on his garment. His name was written on the area of the uniform right above his chest - 'Seargent Griff'.

"Boy, it is time for you to vacate your room immediately. The vehicle has been waiting outside for 5 minutes already."

With everything that had happened, Quinn had forgotten about what was going to happen to him today.

"It's time for you to head to military school," Griff announced.

Quinn just gulped, staring back at the officer, as tension enveloped the entirety of his body.

Chapter 3 Miltary School

Due to the War between Humans and the Dalki, every person when they reached the age of 16 was required to go to military school for two years. Even though Humans and Dalki were in a peaceful period, everyone knew that it wouldn't last forever.

Every day there was news of one race antagonizing the other and war felt like it could start at any moment.

Quinn quickly went to the toilet before heading off with Sergeant Griff. His bladder felt like it was going to burst any second now due to all the water he drank.

Once Quinn stepped out of his room into the outside world, something strange happened. A new notification screen had appeared.

Your body is being hit by direct sunlight

You are affected by the sunlight

All stats will be halved while in the sunlight

Suddenly, Quinn's body felt extremely sluggish. It felt like he had just gone for a 5k Run and returned, his arms and legs felt heavier and there was nothing he could do about it.

Quinn then went to check his status and saw that his stats did indeed go down by half but it wasn't just his stats but his HP as well.

HP 5/5

Strength 5/5

Stamina 5/5

Agility 5/5

"What kind of drawback is this!" Quinn thought.

Then a new notification had appeared.

You have received a new Daily quest: Avoid direct sunlight for 8 hours

reward 5 Exp

Quinn's mood slightly changed as soon as he saw the new daily quest. Unlike the water one, this was something he was able to do naturally just by sleeping. If the system worked the same way it did in games, then that meant once Quinn had reached 100 exp points he would be able to level up and also level up his stats.

So the more daily quests Quinn got, the better it was for him.

"What are you doing walking so slowly! The School will eat you alive if you carry on like that!" Griff shouted.

Finally, Quinn had reached a large bus which was parked just outside his house. When he entered the bus, he noticed that it was already full of students all the same age as him.

He didn't recognize any of the students though, meaning they had all come from a different school. Quinn then went to sit at the front of the bus which was the only seat that was still available.

Stats have returned to normal

As soon as Quinn had entered the bus and avoided the direct sunlight, his stats had returned to normal and his body felt re-energized once again.

"Well, at least it looks like it's only direct sunlight."

The students were all talking to each other in excitement but that quickly stopped as soon as sergeant Griff came on board.

"Alright, it's time for us to head to the military academy."

The bus then started to move and the students were finally on their way. The bus remained silent during the journey. Whenever a student would start to speak Griff immediately would look in their direction and the student would shut up.

ChapterMid();

Griff didn't even have to say anything, they all knew what he wanted just by looking at him.

Then about 10 minutes into the journey Quinn once again received another message.

A substance in the air has been detected

You are feeling sleepy

Resistance 1

Quinn found this message quite strange and then when he started to look around the bus, he noticed that nearly all of the students were either asleep or dosing off.

Suddenly, even his own eyelids started to feel dizzy.

Your resistance to the substance has increased

Resistance 1

Then the sound of loud footsteps could be heard coming towards him, as he looked up he noticed Sergeant Griff hovering above him.

"Looks like a few of you were able to resist the sleeping gas. Then we will just have to bag you."

Aa black bag was then thrown on top of Quinn's head and his vision now was completely covered. The gas started to slowly seep through and Quinn managed to doze off into a nice sleep.

Then the next moment, Quinn could feel a splash of cold water being chucked on his face. His eyes opened instantly and all he could see was the green grass.

He and several other students started to lift their heads to lock around them. There were currently a total of 200 students stood out on a plain open field But when they looked around they were in a place that was completely foreign to them.

"This is where you will spend the next two years of your life."

The students were amazed at what they were seeing. They were currently in a city like they had never seen before. Everyone was dressed up in military uniform and there were technology and engineering around them that was too advanced for their time. Giant robots moving crates and building machines.

Flying ships, and levitating trains. It was a technology that hadn't been given to the outside world yet and was kept for the military only.

After the first war with the Dalki Race, the humans had managed to make leaps in technological advancement. This was because they had managed to salvage equipment from them after the war but of course, the military decided to keep most of it for themselves.

When Quinn finally stopped being amazed at his surroundings, he noticed that there was something placed around his wrist. It looked similar to a digital watch but there was nothing displaying on the screen.

"That there on your wrist is your lifeline. It will identify you as a student at this military base. It will allow you to access certain areas, pay for food and all sorts. It is your lifeline at this academy. That isn't the only thing that it will display though. When not in use the Wristwatch will display a single number and that number is your power level.

As soon as Quinn heard those words, he gritted his teeth and clenched his fist. He thought his life might change was coming to military school but it seemed like it was going to be the same even here.

"With that, we will immediately begin the level test for you all, good luck!" Griff said with a smile on his face.

Chapter 4 Ability Level

When abilities were first introduced to the human race, people quickly learned that some were far more powerful than others. With this came the introduction of the power level system. There was a total of 8 different power levels. 1 being the weakest and 8 being the strongest. These levels could also be further divided into 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 all the way to 1.9 and it was the same for each level.

There were two ways for people to obtain abilities. When the war started with the Dalki Race, people started to share their powers with the outside world. They wrote down how they obtained this power and putt the information down in things called, ability books.

These ability books went on for sale to the public and the military kept some of the stronger ones to themselves. Generally, ability books from level 1 to 5 were sold to the public. While giant corporations and the military kept the higher ones to themselves.

The second way to obtain an ability was if you were an Original. Originals were the first people who had originally discovered the powers for themselves and decided to pass it down within their family.

Not all ability users chose to share their abilities to do outside world and decided to keep it within their bloodline. Originals usually had the strongest abilities that went beyond level 8. There was no way for the government to measure its power because it wasn't public knowledge.

Because of these two reasons, Quinn had always been a level 1. He had no family members to support him, so he couldn't afford an ability book and his family had no abilities themselves so he wasn't an Original.

When Quinn had obtained the book, his first guess was that it was some time of an ability book, now after all these years, it seemed like he had obtained an ability. But he had never heard of an ability book like this before and he didn't have a clue what power level it had given him.

Quinn lifted up his hand to look at the watch which indicated his current power level was one. When he looked around, he noticed that everyone else's watches currently indicated the same number.

Griff was currently standing in front of all the students and called names in groups of five.

These students would then be transported somewhere to take the test. Quinn was hopeful at first thinking that he might have been able to change his ability level for once but his mind was quickly changed after receiving a notification.

You are being hit by direct sunlight

all stats will be halved

Quinn didn't even know how good 10 strength, 10 agility, and 10 stamina was but if his eyes sight was anything to go by. Then it would mean it was at least the top condition of a normal human being but right now Quinn felt incredibly weak and sluggish.

His body felt extremely hot right now and he was sweating buckets of water. Quinn thought it was a good thing he drank a load of water beforehand, otherwise he would have been extremely dehydrated.

"Hey, are you okay?" A stranger standing next to Quinn said.

The stranger's name was Vorden, he had slick blonde hair and hazel green eyes with a chiseled face and sharp jawline. He also stood 6 foot 2 inches tall while Quinn was 5, 11. This was the type of person Quinn would uselly avoid at his last shool as everyone would always pay them attention and Quinn hated attention.

"If you want, I can call someone for help?" Vorden said.

"It's okay I'm just a little bit nervous about the testing," Quinn said as he tried to ignore his tired body and stand up straight.

Vorden looked Quinn up and down. Quinn was quite skinny for his age and didn't have a lot of muscle on him and right now he looked incredibly weak. Vorden thought Quinn looked like the type of boy who would have gotten bullied at school and it was the reason why Quinn was nervous.

If he was to get a level one rating most likely the same would happen here.

"Well don't be, I'm quite strong you know. If anyone messes with you, you can come and ask me for Help." Vorden smiled.

Quinn didn't usually get on with the energetic positive type of person but Quinn found it hard to dislike Vordan. When Quinn thought about his time back at school, he realized he actually didn't get on with anyone.

"The names Vordan," Vordan said as he placed his hand out.

Quinn looked at Vordan's hand, it was actually the first time in his life someone had treated him this way but Quinn thought that would quickly change. They always did once they found out his Ability level but for once he would like to forget about all that.

"My name's Quinn," Quinn said as he shook Vordan's hand.

Use of ability has been detected

The ability has been rejected

Once the system messages appeared, Quinn looked at them strangely. At the same time, he shook Vordan's hand the messages came up instantly. He then noticed that Vordan still hadn't let go of his hand. Then the system repeated the message once again.

Use of ability had been detected

The ability had been rejected

Quinn then immediately let go of Vordan's hand. The system was clearly telling him that Vordan was trying to use his ability on him. Vordan himself even had a puzzled look on his face as he stood there still.

"You," Vordan said. "What is your ability?"

"I…." Quinn paused thinking for while whether he should answer or not, in the end, he wanted to see Vordan's true reaction. "I don't have an ability."

Vordan no longer had a puzzled look on his face as if the answer had satisfied the curiosity of his but before Vordan could say anything, Griff had made an announcement.

"Will the students, Quinn Talen, Vordan Blade, Peter Chuck, Layla Munrow, and Erin Heley please come to the front to take your test."

Chapter 5 No Ability

Once the five students had heard their names being called up, each of them started to walk to the front were Griff was standing.

Including Quinn and Vorden, there was another boy named Peter. Peter looked more nervous than anyone there, he would constantly look around him and couldn't stop fidgeting. His body frame was quite small but it suited him, for he wasn't that tall either.

Then there were the two girls Named Layla and Erin. Layla had short brown hair and a tall figure. On her back, she was carrying a bow which surprised Quinn, for not many people carried a weapon these days apart from a specific group of people called Pure.

They were a group of people who chose to not have any abilities and used weapons instead but they were still very rare and Quinn had never met anyone like that in his life, only heard stories about them.

Finally, there was Erin. Erin was the type of girl that turned all of the boy's heads. Her proportions were perfect, not too big not too small and she had beautiful long blonde hair. The only problem was her facial expressions. Even when walking through the crowds of people, not once did her expression change. It stayed stiff and neutral.

As Quinn was walking past everyone, he noticed that he didn't recognize one student there and it seemed like the others didn't either. Quinn could only assume that this was done on purpose. No one knew who to befriend or who to look out for because currently, everyone's power level displayed 1.

The group had stopped just behind another group who were being transported to the testing area.

As soon as Vorden saw the others who were in the same group, Vordan greeted each one of them with a handshake. Vorden was being very polite so most of them accepted his greetings apart from Erin.

She merely stared at Vordan's hand when he offered it out to her, then she turned her head and looked away.

"Come on you don't have to be like that?" Vordan said as he placed his hand on her shoulder.

This was a big mistake. In an instant, Erin grabbed Vordan's wrist and twisted his hand. Then slowly his hand was starting to freeze and cover in ice.

Everyone stopped to look at the commotion that was happening near the front.

"Wow, she has ice abilities?"

"Isn't that very Rare?"

"I would let her freeze me any day."

Griff noticed the commotion and started to intervene.

"Stop it you two, if you have that much energy then save it for the test."

Erin immediately let go of Vordan's hand and slowly, Vordan's hand started to defrost. Vordan then went back in line to stand next to Quinn.

"Can you believe her!" Vordan complained, "I nearly lost my hand."

"You can't just go around touching people without their permission," Quinn replied.

"Yeah I know, she's lucky I didn't wipe the floor with her just cause she's a pretty girl."

Many people who were near the front had heard Vordan's word and had already decided to make him an enemy. If they could somehow humiliate Vordan, then maybe Erin would look the way they thought.

Looking at the people around them, Quinn could tell what the others were thinking. Quinn then stepped one step away from Vordan hoping that others wouldn't think the two were friends.

Finally, Quinn and the others were called forward and were told to stand in a box. It wasn't really a box but just white lines that had been drawn on the ground that was just big enough to fit the five of them in.

There was then a hooded man who stood just outside of the box.

"Send them away!" Griff said.

As soon as Griff gave the command, the hooded man placed both hands on the ground and the box started to light up, shining a bright purple color.

"Hmm Transportation magic huh, what a rare ability," Vordan said Just as the whole group suddenly vanished into thin air.

The next second they were teleported to another outdoor area which looked like an empty wasteland. There was no sign of life, no trees, no nothing. Standing in front of the group was a woman dressed in a black military uniform and by her side was another hooded man.

There was not another person in sight.

The woman held a Tablet in her hand and it looked like she was currently busy inputting some information. Once she had finished, she looked up at the group and started to speak.

"Hi everyone my name is Jane, and I will be in charge of your test today. Once the test has been completed, I will update your information and your score will be reflected on your wristwatches."

Jane then started to look at the tablet.

"Now who should we call first, oh it looks like we have a couple of previous level ones?" Jane said as she checked the information that had been passed on from their previous schools.

"Peter, would you please step forward?"

The nervous small Peter then stepped forward and he looked even worse than before. Quinn thought he looked bad but he looked to be in perfect condition if you were to compare the two. At least Quinn was able to stand up whereas Peter looked like he would fall over any second now.

"Would you please tell me what your ability is Peter?" Jane asked.

"Eh, I don't have any ability," Peter said quietly.

Suddenly, Quinn and the others understood why Peter was so nervous. Having no ability wasn't rare. Because of the war, many children had become orphans like Quinn and Peter. This meant there was no chance for them to buy an ability book.

But because Peter had no ability, he was afraid of the treatment he would get from the others.

"Don't be afraid Peter." Jane said, "Here take this."

The hooded man standing by Jane's side suddenly teleported a book into his hand. Jane then handed the book over to Peter.

"Wow, seriously you're giving this to me for free!" Peter said in excitement. "Thank you."

"Please study the book in your own free time and when you have learned to use it, you can come back to redo the test but for now I'm going to have to award you a level 1 power status."

Even though Peter had received a level 1 power status he didn't care, for he felt like his life could finally turn around due to the book that he had just received.

"Now I believe there was another level 1 user here," Jane said, "Quinn is it? would you please step forward."

Quinn did as he was told and stepped forward.

"Now Quinn, what ability do you have?"

Chapter 6 Resul

Quinn thought the whole thing was ridiculous. It was quite clear to him that Jane already had all the information on him from his previous school. They knew that he never had an ability before, the problem was Quinn was struggling with deciding what to do.

Before coming to military school Quinn had done a bit of research himself. He knew that the military gave all students who had no ability an ability book. Each ability book given was the same one. It was an Earth ability book.

The reason they did this was so students who didn't have an ability before, would suddenly feel indebted to the military. Not only that but the military also had a hold on nearly all of the Earth type ability books. Meaning if you ever wanted to increase your strength, you would have to be loyal to the military, and in return, they would give you more power.

Before Quinn had discovered his own Ability, he actually thought this was the best option for him. Even if he didn't want to join the military after two years, the Earth ability was handy to have. It was easy for employment because the Earth ability was useful in construction.

This was where the problem came in, Quinn already having an ability meant he was unable to learn a new one. The ability book was practically useless. Not only that but Quinn was pretty sure they would keep tabs on every student they had given the ability book to, meaning the teachers would accept him to use earth powers the next time they saw him.

Quinn took a deep breath and said.

"I don't have an ability."

Just like before the hooded man standing by her side handed her a book and then handed it to Quinn.

Quinn took the book off Jane at first but then suddenly, a notification screen appeared.

\u003cUnable to learn this ability\u003e

\u003cWould you like to convert the book into 10 Exp?\u003e

Quinn had somewhat expected the system to display the first message but the second one truly had surprised him. Quinn was really tempted to take the book and use it as a form of Exp but he knew there would be questions asked later on.

"I'm sorry but I don't want it," Quinn said as he handed the book back to Jane.

The students watching and the instructor stood there were both shocked. Jane hadn't experienced anything like this before. In her five years working as an instructor, it was the first time someone with no ability had rejected the book.

"Please give me one moment." Jane then stood away from the group of students far enough so they wouldn't be able to hear anything.

"Yes, Yes, he says he doesn't want the ability book what shall I do?" Jane said speaking on her earpiece.

"let him take the test." The mysterious man on the phone said.

As the man hung up, he couldn't help but think that Quinn was an interesting student. He started to look at Quinn's file and what he had said seemed to be true. The student had no ability and didn't seem to have any relations with the group Pure.

"Let's see how long you can survive in this cruel world Quinn." The man said.

Back at the testing field, Jane had finished the call with her superior and started to head back over to the group.

"Sorry for waiting, "Jane said. "Since you won't be taking the ability book, we will still require you to take the test please."

Quinn thought the whole thing was a joke. If Quinn truly had no ability then they already knew what the test results were going to be. Was there really a need for him to take the test. If felt like the only reason they wanted Quinn to continue was to make himself feel humiliated and small. Eventually, then he would choose to go to the military and beg for the ability book they were handing out.

"Please follow me."

Jane then took Quinn a little further out onto the field where Quinn noticed that there were huge craters in the ground, burn marks, and all sorts of things. This was all done from the previous testing contestants.

"Please proceed to destroy the targets in front of you as quick as you can." Jane said, " the test will begin immediately."

As soon as Jane finished talking, three targets popped up around randomly around the wasteland. They were metal round targets with a red dot in the center.

The problem was when Quinn tried to look for the targets, everything seemed like a blur in the distance. Quinn then realized that his perfect eyesight, suddenly wasn't so perfect.

"Is this because I'm out in the sunlight?" Quinn thought.

Quinn had no choice but to slowly run-up to each of the targets and hit them with his fist one by one, his time was incredibly slow of course.

There were then two further tests that Quinn needed to complete. The next test was a strength test were Quinn was asked to punch into a huge drum-like machine. Quinn gave it his best shot and hit the drum as hard as he could. The drum vibrated and made a small sound eventually displaying a digital number in the center.

"5, strength," Jane said as she noted it down on her tablet.

When the final test had arrived they had brought out another machine. This machine was a big circular object with many holes on its front. Once the test started the machine fired holographic spikes at the contestants. All Quinn needed to do was avoid being hit by the spikes.

The machine went up in levels and eventually got faster and shot out more spikes, in the end, Quinn managed to get hit and the test was stopped.

"Agility, 5" Jane said once again as she noted it down on her tablet

Quinn had heard the words from Jane's mouth and it started to make him think if there was some sought a link to the score she had given him. The last test was a test of strength and Quinn had scored a 5, similar to his system which had stated he had 5 strength. Then once again this test focused on agility and scored a 5 which was the same as his system.

This meant if Quinn was to take the test at night all of his scores would have most likely doubled. This also meant as long as he leveled up he could always increase his score it was as if his ability was the ability to evolve but had some drawbacks with it as well.

"As expected." Jane said, "Unfortunately your current power level is a level 1."

Quinn clenched his fist and went back to stand with the others. He knew that the days ahead of him as a level 1 user would be tough but that wouldn't be for much longer.

Chapter 7 Same Ability

The Test continued with Layla taking the text next. She was the only one there who had a weapon on her back. The weapon she used was a bow but it didn't look like a regular bow that people used to use a long time ago.

This bow was carved using parts of a beast. It was black in color and looked almost as if the entire bow was made of gems. Even the string was made of a special material. The reason the bow looked so different, was because it was what was known as a beast weapon.

A bow made from the body parts of a beast. When the human race was attacked by the Dalki, our technology advanced fast by replicating their technology, with this, the humans learned the ability to travel to other planets using portals.

These planets would often contain different levels of beasts. The stronger the beast was the better weapon you could make out of it. It was the first time Quinn had ever witnessed a beast weapon before as no one at his previous school had one.

It was strange to see someone of such a young age who has most likely never been to another planet, to have a beast weapon.

Layla stood in the centre of the field and waited for the test to start. Unlike when it was Quinn's turn, they waited until she was ready before starting. Quinn could already start to see a difference in treatment.

When the test started, 5 targets all appeared in different areas of the wasteland. Layla immediately took out 5 arrows and placed them in her bow, shooting them all off at once in the same direction.

The arrows shot out fast and strong but then suddenly, the five arrows split off into their own direction, each of them heading to a different target.

"What a good combo." Vorden said, "She was the ability of telekinesis but it's quite weak, so instead she uses her ability combined with the bow to control the arrows."

In an instant, all five of the targets were hit at the same time and she had completed the first test. Quinn for the first time saw how useful beast weapons were. Even if you had a weak ability you could make it strong.

Quinn wasn't completely sure what his ability was yet but even if it just increased his stats as he levelled up, then he thought about how handy something like a beast sword or something similar would be.

On the strength test, Layla didn't do so well. She used her powers to try to move her fist even faster when punching the drum but, in the end, her score was only an 8.

The last test Quinn also saw her do quite bad. When the test first started, Layla tried to use her ability on the spikes coming at her, unknown to her because they were holograms and not the real thing, it had no effect.

Meaning all Layla could do was rely on her actual body to avoid the spikes, in the end, Layla ended getting the same score as Quinn.

"It looks like you have the ability level of a level 2 User," Jane said and immediately the number 2 appeared on Layla's wrist.

Quinn could tell Layla wasn't happy, she stropped back as she walked over to the group. Quinn thought the test wasn't really fair. Her ability level might be that of a level 2 but when used with a bow Quinn felt like she could have easily beaten some level 3 or 4 users.

Quinn was starting to take note that the academy really did only measure the power level of your ability and not your fighting ability.

The next person to take the test was Erin. She walked forward confidently without even looking at anyone else. She stood in the centre of the testing field waiting for the test to start.

Then, 5 random targets appeared across the wasteland. Immediately she formed an ice spear and chucked it at the target hitting it dead on. She did this one after the other at an incredible speed, nearly clearing them all just as fast as Layla did.

The next test Erin was even more impressive. She started to gather ice in both her palms and then after a minute or so of gathering her power, a huge ice collum was shot from her hands and hit the centre of the drum dead on. The drum rang out louder than it had before and the number kept going up until it had eventually reached 50.

"No wonder she's so confident, "Vorden said.

Quinn suddenly thought it was a good thing the two of them didn't fight otherwise Vordan would have been a dead man.

Finally, when the last test had arrived the instructor told her she wasn't allowed to use her ability and should just dodge. Erin had no reaction and started the test immediately. She managed to do well moving swiftly avoiding each spike but eventually, the machine had gotten too fast and she ended up getting hit.

"Impressive!" Jane said, "best result so far, power level 5."

Erin continued to walk back to her group as if she knew what she was going to get all along, either that or she didn't really care about the whole thing.

Finally, the last person to take the test in the group was Vorden.

"Time to show you what I got, wish me luck."

Quinn had no clue who Vordan was talking to, but Quinn quickly realized it was him after Vordan gave a wink in his direction as he walked off to the centre of the field.

"Could that idiot actually be strong?" Quinn thought.

Most of the time people who strong were either arrogant about their powers or kept it quiet but Vorden was a strange person. He wasn't exactly arrogant but more flashy.

When it finally came to his turn and the test had started, everyone's mouth was left wide open at what they were seeing. On every single one of the tests, Vorden had done the exact same thing as Erin.

He had used the same ability, the ability of Ice, and had performed just as well.

"See, I told you I was strong!" Vorden said as he showed the number 5 to his new best friend Quinn.

Just what was Vorden's ability Quinn thought.

Chapter 8 Fate

After seeing Vorden perform well on the test, Quinn couldn't help but think about what Vordens ability was. When Vorden went to shake his hand that time, it said that Vorden had tried to use his ability on Quinn. Yet for some reason, his ability didn't work.

If Vorden's ability was ice, surely his hand would have just frozen, unless Quinn had an ability to block all ability's but that was highly unlikely. Not only that but straight after even Vorden had a strange reaction and had asked Quinn what his ability was. As if he knew his ability didn't work.

Then another thought came into Quinn's mind, why was Vorden so adamant on shaking everyone's hand he had just met? If Quinn remembered correctly, Erin refused to shake Vorden's hand but in the end, Vorden still went to touch Erin on the shoulder, at the time it seemed like a weird thing to do but now Quinn realized it wasn't and everything was starting to make sense.

Touching was the condition. The last person Quinn touched was Erin, it couldn't be a coincidence that both of them had the same powers. Which meant most likely that Vorden's ability, was the ability to copy other people's ability.

It didn't work on Quinn because his ability wasn't straight forward. Quinn couldn't help his curiosity and had to ask.

"Hey, Vorden is your ability..." Quinn whispered, "are you able to copy other people's abilities?"

Vorden looked at Quinn and smiled.

"I'm surprised you figured it out so fast, how did you know?"

"When you shook my hand, you were surprised when nothing happened."

Vorden thought Quinn was quite amazing to be able to guess something like that just form a handshake. After all, it was much more likely that Vorden had obtained the Ice ability from an ability book. The power for copying wasn't available as an ability book which meant one thing.

"Are you an Original?" Quinn asked.

Vorden didn't say anything but simply gave a wink back at Quinn, which pretty much confirmed Quinn's thoughts.

Vorden was an Original, a person from a family who decided to not share their abilities with the outside world. Someone who was usually able to surpass the power level of 8.

Once the test had been completed, the hooded man teleported the students to the front of the academy where they would be staying. The academy was huge and the tallest building in the entire city. It was as if someone had put together three hotels.

There was a total of ten different teachers that were currently standing in front of the academy. In front of them were groups of students who had all finished taking the test. The students were told to wait with the teachers until all the students had finished conducting their tests.

Once in a while, a group of five students would be teleported in front of one of the teachers. Finally, where Quinn was standing, there now was a total of 20 students.

"Okay, you all need to follow me as I take you around the school." The teacher up front said.

The teacher was a middle-aged man with blonde curly hair and wore Glasses, his name was Del.

While Del walked around describing the various places of the academy he couldn't help but smile. It looked like nothing was able to upset him.

"You guys should start to get to know each other a much as you can," Del said. "After all, the people you are with now will be your classmates."

Suddenly everyone started to get chattier with each other as they were being shown around the school but there was something Quinn had noticed. The mid-levels were trying their best to get friendly with the higher levels, while the low levels were being completely ignored.

And Quinn and Peter were the only two level 1's in the class. Without realizing it, they had been pushed to the back of the class, and Peter was plodding along with his head held down. It seemed to have affected Peter a lot more than Quinn but Quinn had already suspected this would happen.

Suddenly though, a familiar voice was heard calling out Quinn's name.

"There you are!" Vorden said, "Man people just started jumping all over me, then all of sudden I look to my right and you're gone. Come on let's look around together friend."

Quinn truly thought Vorden was a strange person but that wasn't a bad thing. Vorden then noticed Peter was on his own as well.

"Come on, you come over too, stop being a downer."

Peter looked up and pointed a finger at himself.

"Who else do you think I'm talking to," Vorden said.

The three of them continued to hang at the back of the class while the teacher continued to tour around the school. They were shown a battle arena, where they had similar testing equipment to the filed on the wasteland, as well as several square fighting platforms.

They were also shown their homeroom classes, battle classes, sports rooms, and all sorts. Del would explain a little bit about each area of the school they visited but Quinn was uninterested in most of it until they had finally reached the library.

"The library here is split into three floors as you can see. First-year students are only able to access the first floor, second-year students can also go on the second floor, and finally, the last floor is only for Military personal."

Quinn was interested in the library because it contained books that weren't available to the public. Here, Quinn just might find some information about his ability, he just hoped it would be on the first floor.

Finally, the tour was coming to an end as Del stopped just outside the school's dorms.

"And this is where you will be staying during your stay here, once you have dropped off your things, feel free to explore around the academy. There will be no lessons today so you will get to have the rest of the afternoon to explore."

Each student was then handed a number on a piece of paper one be one which displayed which room they would be staying in.

Quinn then noticed form the corner of his eye Vorden coming towards him.

"Hey, Quinn what room number you got?" Vorden asked.

"Err 23."

"No way you're kidding right, I got the same number, maybe its fate bringing us together," Vorden said excitedly.

"Maybe," Quinn replied.

Meanwhile, somewhere down the hallway, two other students were having a conversation.

"Woah what happened to you?" A student said looking at his friend.

"I don't know man some guy just came and hit me out of nowhere and swapped room numbers."

"Man, should we try to get it back?" the student asked.

"Nah if I saw his wrist correctly, it said he was a level 5 it's best if we just leave it"

Chapter 9 What system?

After Quinn had finished unpacking, he was free to do what he wanted for the rest of the day. It was still noon so he had plenty of time to explore the academy on do what he wanted.

Quinn was currently sharing his room with two people and to his surprise, he knew both of them. One of them was Vorden while the other was Peter. There were three single beds in the room each spread out from one another but other than that the room was pretty empty.

Students were expected to spend most of their time studying or practicing their skills. there was no time for pleasure.

"What do you guys want to do then?" Vorden asked.

"I'm still unpacking, you two don't have to wait for me, do what you want," Peter replied.

Peter had opened up a little to the two of them, at first he was completely shy and hardly said a word but slowly Peter seemed to be coming out of his shell especially around Quinn. Peter most likely felt comfortable around Quinn knowing that he was a level 1 ability user like himself.

"I was thinking of heading to the library," Quinn replied, "that will probably be too boring for you."

"Boring, I can make anything fun, besides I haven't read a book in…" Vorden paused for a while. "I can't even remember the last time I read a book."

The three of them laughed and then Vorden and Quinn decided to head to the library together. Finally, they had arrived and the first floor was already busy with students. Quinn noticed that there were multiple round desks spread out where students were sitting and In the middle of the desk was a glowing orb.

"Ahh, you're probably wondering what that Orb thing is in the middle aren't you?" Vorden asked, "It looks like they don't have them at public schools. If you touch the orb, then it allows you to create a space, in that space, only those people who have been invited can be heard. This way people are able to talk and chat as much as they want while not disturbing others."

"Technology sure has come a long way."

Quinn and Vorden then chose a table that had two other people sitting on the other side. Just as Vorden had said, Quinn could see the two talking but couldn't hear a word of what they were saying. The orb seemed to only have a range of the table though. Once you left the table others were able to hear you as normal.

Quinn went looking around the library and picked out as many books as he could about abilities. Most of them describing what different types of abilities the world had. Vorden wasn't too bothered and decided to just select a random fiction book to read.

The two sat at their tables while Quinn started to flick away. After reading several books Quinn had discovered nothing new. He already knew about most of the abilities written in the book but not one of them mentioned an ability like Quinn's.

Vorden had been keeping a close eye on Quinn and noticed the type of books he had been picking out.

"What's with all the books, are you looking for something in particular?"

Quinn thought about it for a while before giving Vorden an answer. Vorden wasn't the brightest person when it came to academics but he was quite knowledgeable about abilities it seemed. He would have to be because of the type of ability he had.

"I was trying to decide what ability to get since I turned down the school's offer."

"Oh right, I forgot about that, I thought you might have been one of those Pure members who hate abilities. Turns out you just didn't want to be a dog to the military." Vorden replied, "Well is there anything specific you're looking for?"

"Not really, I have no clue. There was one that said something interesting though, have you ever heard of an ability that is weaker in sunlight."

Vorden suddenly started to laugh out loud.

"What are you crazy, I've never heard of something like that. Abilities are something our bodies learn. Sure some people have limits and can't learn stronger spells or can do less than others but for one to get weaker because of the sun. Sounds like you're a Vampire or something."

Quinn felt a little embarrassed by Vorden's reaction. Of course, Quinn knew this would be the normal reaction when asking something like this but it was true. As long as Quinn was in direct sunlight all of his stats would weaken by half.

Quinn continued to look around the library to see if there was anything else he could find. He had finally gone through every single one of the ability books he could find but there was nothing. Quinn then looked up at the floor above where there were some second-year students.

"Maybe there's something up there but I can't imagine what the academy would do to me for breaking the rules." Quinn thought.

As Quinn continued to walk around the library, he had eventually ventured into the fiction section and his eyes were drawn to something.

A specific title of a book named "The Truth about Vampires."

Quinn took out the book and gave it a quick look. Vampires were things of fairy tales, myths even. Even when people started to come out with powers, there was not one person who came out claiming to be a vampire.

Quinn couldn't help himself but start to read the book. It was a long shot but maybe he would find something he could relate to.

After reading and skimming through the book, Quinn found most of it was useless. A lot of the things that Vampires did, didn't relate to him at all. Vampires were required to eat human blood. Some could transform themselves into bats and cast illusions. While others were incredibly skilled with the sword and hypnosis but Quinn had none of these things.

The only thing he could relate to in the book was being weaker in the sun. Eventually, Quinn decided to close the book and call it a day. It didn't seem like he was going to find anything from the first floor of the library.

As soon as Quinn closed the book though. A familiar sound was heard.

Chapter 10 New Ques

Quinn stared long and hard at the message and reread it multiple times.

"It couldn't be, did I get exp from reading that fantasy book?"

Quinn immediately had to test it out, after reading several different books about abilities, not one had given him exp but for some reason this book did. Quinn then immediately picked up another fantasy story, one about dragons this time titled "Reincarnated into a human?".

He did the same as before and skimmed through most of it but made sure to read the crucial parts, then when he closed the book there was no reaction. This of course was expected.

Then Quinn wanted to test another thing out, he picked up another book that was also about Vampires and did the same. When he closed the book though the same thing happened, the system had no reaction at all.

In the end, Quinn theorized that after reading all the books, he had gained so much knowledge about abilities that the system had rewarded him for it. That maybe the system had just given a delayed message.

He couldn't believe that the book about Vampires was somehow related to his system. Well, he didn't want to believe it.

When Quinn finished checking things out at the library, he noticed that Vorden had disappeared from the table and was no longer in the library.

"Huh, he must have gotten bored and gone somewhere else?"

Quinn looked outside the window and noticed the sun was starting to set. He had been in the library for a total of six hours so far and the time had gone flying by. Then when Quinn was just about to leave, he received another message from the system.

Daily quest has been completed

Avoid direct sunlight for 8 hours

5 exp has been awarded

20/100 Exp

Quinn had finally completed his second daily quest. The ride from school had taken them around 2 hours and with the time spent indoors and in the library, Quinn was able to complete the task with ease.

Each time Quinn received an announcement, he got a satisfying feeling seeing the number go up closer to 100. He couldn't wait to see what would happen once he had reached the goal.

His best guess would be a level up. After all, the system even stated that he couldn't use his shop feature until he was at least a level 10.

The only thing Quinn wished for at the moment was a quicker way to level up. With just the two daily quests a day it would take days until Quinn reached level two.

Right now though there wasn't much he could do but go by his everyday life as normal. As Quinn left the library, he decided to head to the battle arena, there was a theory that he wanted to test out.

But as he was walking through the school hallway, he could see a kid being pushed up against the wall by another student. The boy on the wall looked like he had already been hit a few times and had markings on his face.

ChapterMid();

"So it's started already." Quinn thought.

Quinn managed to catch a glimpse of the boy's wristwatch and saw that the number on it indicated that it was a 1.2 power level. Quinn was quite surprised at this as the person doing the bullying was quite weak himself which was a rare occurrence.

The only people he would be able to bully were people who had a power level of one like Quinn or Peter. That's when Quinn suddenly realized who was up against the wall. It was in fact peter. Quinn didn't recognize him at first because his face was turned the other way.

Quinn was debating with himself whether or not to get involved in the first place. He hated bullies more than anything. They had ruined his school life and it seemed like soon he would be a target as well.

Of course, Quinn also wanted to test out his current strength and he had found the perfect guinea pig. The student in front of him was only at a power level of 1.2 so there was a high chance he could win.

The student lifted his fist again to give peter another punch.

"You think you can just bump into me like that and say sorry!" He shouted as he swung his fist.

Then as Quinn was walking past, he pretended to fall over and bumped into the student, causing him to fall off balance and miss.

"Quinn?" Peter said as he looked up.

"What the hell was that for?" The student said as he looked at who had just pushed into him.

The student then immediately looked at Quinn's watch and suddenly the confidence in him grew.

"What the hell is a level 1 piece of rubbish like you doing?"

"I was waiting to see how long it would take for someone like you to appear. It seems like I lost a bet with myself. I thought it would at least take a couple of days."

"And what are you going to do about it?"

Peter was starting to feel slightly worried about Quinn. He knew at the test site that Quinn had no abilities while the student he was facing did. Peter thought they might stand a chance if the two of them fought together but Peter, in the end, was too afraid.

He had been hurt his whole life and didn't want to be hurt anymore. This was just how the current world worked. The people at the top with the strongest powers bullied the weaker ones and in turn, they bullied the even weaker ones.

It was the first time the student had ever met someone weaker than him and suddenly all the pain he had experienced, he wanted someone else to feel it too. That way he didn't feel like he was at the bottom of the food chain.

Quinn then noticed that the student had both of his hands held behind his back as if he was preparing something and the next thing that happened confirmed his thoughts.

An ability has been detected

Initiating battle mode

New quest has been given

First fight, power level 1.2

Suddenly, Quinn had a huge grin on his face. This was how he was going to level up faster.

Chapter 11 New Skill

The student stood opposite Quinn was still holding his hands suspiciously behind his back. Even without the help of the system, Quinn could tell the student was obviously hiding his ability.

"Come on, what happened to your big balls?" the student said.

"I think you're playing with them behind your back," Quinn replied.

That immediately angered the student which was what Quinn was going for.

"You weak piece of garbage!" the student came charging forward and slashed his hand out at Quinn.

Luckily Quinn's reflexes were fast and he managed to lift his arm in time to block the attack and move back a little. However, the student's hand managed to slice right through the skin of Quinn's arm and caused blood to be drawn.

"Dam it!" Quinn said.

HP 8/10

Quinn looked at the student who now had his hands out in view. The student had a transformation ability that was limited to only his hands. They caused them to slightly resemble a tiger claw and hardened his fingernails.

Although Quinn was able to block the attack in time, the claw managed to still rip through his skin.

"Is the system saying if I take four more attacks like that, I'm dead?"

Suddenly everything became a little bit more serious for Quinn. The stinging pain he was feeling on his arm was real and this was a real fight. The game-like system had caused him to take things a little too easy. But he was quickly reminded that this wasn't a game.

The student then immediately started to charge at Quinn once again with his claw-like hands. As the student swung his right-hand Quinn managed to duck and throw a punch of his own into the student's stomach.

"What the hell, this guy hits hard!" The student thought.

The student didn't quit there though and decided to strike at Quinn's open back causing another claw mark to appear.

HP 6/10

"Shut up I know!" Quinn shouted as he lifted the student using both of his hands by the legs and threw up against the side of the wall.

"How did Quinn manage to pick him up like that?" Peter thought, "There roughly about the same size and he threw him with ease, does he really not have an ability?"

Quinn didn't stop there though. It was important for him to teach people like them a lesson, otherwise, they would just come back for more. Quinn needed to show him to never mess with him again.

Quinn ran up to the student who was lying and the floor and kicked him in the stomach with full force. The kick was so hard that it caused the student to cough up a little bit of blood from his mouth.

Congratulations Quest has been completed

50 Exp Received

70/100 Experience points

"Is he dead?" Peter asked.

Then the student suddenly started coughing some more.

"No, but if he attacks us again, he's going to wish he was."

Quinn was actually quite relieved. He didn't know what the punishment was at the academy for killing another student, even if he explained that he hadn't attacked first. He also didn't want the burden of death on his shoulders at such a young age, so he was happy when the system had rewarded him the experience points, without having the need to kill the student.

Then suddenly another message had appeared.

Additional Quest reward

Skill unlocked: inspect lv1

Excitement started to fill Quinn's mind as he had finally received his first skill. Quinn was hoping maybe this would help him figure out what type of ability he had but the name of it didn't sound too promising.

"Inspect? So maybe it can tell me the weaknesses of my opponents?" Quinn thought.

Quinn then decided to test his new ability out and looked at Peter who was standing next to him. Now was the next problem. Quinn had no idea how to use his skill but the moment he started thinking about the skill "Inspect." The skill had activated on its own and a screen had appeared right next to Peter.

Name: Peter Chuck

Race: Human

Ability: None

HP 3/5

Blood type A

Quinn looked at the information that had been given to him and it seemed like there were some sections blanked out. Quinn could only assume this was because the level of his skill was still only at level 1 but the information it did give him, was quite handy.

It told Quinn what type of ability they had which would be very useful in a fight, it also told Quinn how much health they had. However, there was one bit of information that Quinn found strange and that was the Blood type. It was weird for the system to give him information about such a specific thing and Quinn also wondered how on earth would this ever help him in the future.

Quinn then went up to the Student who was still laying on the ground in pain and used the inspect skill on him.

Name: Kyle Main

Race: Human

Ability: Transformation

HP 1/8

Blood type B-

Checking the status of Kyle made Quinn learn a few new things. The information he was given about the ability, only gave him the type of ability. There were hundreds of different transformation abilities so it wasn't able to pinpoint it.

The other thing was the HP, It looked like for his victory he only needed to bring down the students HP to 1 but Quinn still didn't know if 0 meant death or not. It could also just mean the person had been knocked out.

Right after inspecting Kyle though, Quinn had received another notification.

Optional Quest has been granted.

Drink the blood of your victim to absorb a stat point

"What the, is this thing crazy!" Quinn thought.

Even if it gave him a stat point there was no way he was going to drink someone else's blood. The very idea of it made Quinn feel sick.

For a brief moment though Quinn looked to the ground where Kyle had spat out some of his blood.

"Maybe a little bit wouldn't hurt… Quinn, you're going crazy stop it."

"Come on let's go," Quinn said to peter.

The two of them continued to walk down the hallway but while doing so Peter noticed that Quinn kept turning his head to look at Kyle who was still on the floor.

"He must be worried about him, Quinn's a nice guy after all." Peter thought as he smiled.

But what he didn't realize was that Quinn wasn't looking at Kyle at all, but was looking at Kyle's blood that was on the ground.

Chapter 12 A second tes

As the two continued to walk down the hallway. Quinn started to feel a strange surge through his body.

"Hey, shouldn't you go to the doctor, I'm sure they have a healer who can patch that up?" Peter asked.

"Yeah thanks, I'll head there now," Quinn replied, "You don't have to come with me, it will be a busy day tomorrow so why don't you head back to the dorm?"

Although Peter was worried about Quinn, Peter didn't want to stick in the halls for much longer where other students were able to see him.

Quinn could see that Peter was hesitating about what to do.

"look don't worry, Vorden just went to the bathroom he'll be back any second so don't worry about it."

With that Peter quickly rushed off and headed back to the dorms making sure to cover up his wristwatch most of the time as well. He didn't want another incident to happen again.

Quinn on the other hand, immediately rushed to the nearest boy's toilet just down the hall. When he entered the toilet he immediately started to look at his arm were Kyle had scratched it with his claws.

While looking in the mirror slowly Quinn could see that his arm was healing. Though it looked slow, in reality, it was incredibly fast. For someone to be able to actually witness his skin scabbing over and healing was an amazing sight.

Quinn had actually felt something strange happening to his body during this process and he noticed it when he was talking to Peter. It was why Quinn was trying to do everything in his power to get Peter to leave him alone.

If Peter was to see something like this, there was no doubt that Peter would think he had an ability.

Quinn waited a few minutes and opened up his status screen. It was as he thought, his HP slowly regained as well.

\u003cHP 8/10\u003e

Eventually, the wound on his arm and back had completely healed up and only the rips in his shirt could be seen.

\u003cHP 10/10\u003e

\u003cYour HP had been healed\u003e

\u003cYour hunger has grown\u003e

Just when Quinn received the two messages Quinn suddenly started to feel hungry.

"Does this mean the system uses food to heal my wounds? It makes sense, the energy has to come from somewhere." Quinn thought.

The pain in Quinn's belly was very little. It was as if he had just missed breakfast or something. When Quinn had the chance, he would get a quick bite to eat.

Before Quinn headed back to the dorms there was one more thing he wanted to do and that was to head to the training room that they had been shown while touring the school.

It was getting late and the students had an early start in the morning, so most of the students had already returned to their dorms. This meant it was the perfect chance for Quinn to head to the training room without anyone seeing him.

Quinn had finally reached the training room in the academy. It was a large oval dome-like building with a huge empty space in the middle. At the edges of the room were rows and rows of technological equipment.

There were giant mech robots, shooting targets, and things Quinn had no idea what they even did but what Quinn wanted to see most of all, was the power level testing equipment. Inside the training centre, Quinn had also spotted the same machinery that was used at the testing field.

When Quinn entered the room was completely empty of people as he thought.

Quinn walked over to testing equipment while walking past all the other sorts of machinery and finale he stopped just in front of the drum-like machine. This machine was the same machine that tested the user's strength.

Layla had also come to the training room late at night and before Quinn had entered, she had been testing out her bow and arrow skills, practicing. She always practiced at night when she was nervous and she couldn't help but worry about tomorrow.

That was when she suddenly heard the doors open to the training room, being her shy usual self, she immediately hid behind one of the giant robots. Suddenly she saw the student walk over to her direction then she noticed something.

"Isn't that the boy that I took the test with? If I remember correctly, he had no ability." Layla thought.

Layla continued to watch Quinn as he approached the large drum.

"Here it goes!" Quinn said as he prepared his fist,

He swung his fist back and prepared to hit the drum as hard as possible. A number appeared on the drum and the number slowly started to rise until it eventually stopped at 10.

"Seems like I was on the mark," Quinn said.

Quinn had a theory after hearing his test scores that his status screen stats also matched the equipment the school used. Although this was only a theory, Quinn wanted to test it out for himself.

Layla who had been watching from behind one of the robots also noticed Quinn's new score.

"Ten, didn't he get five last time? Was he hiding his ability? That score's higher than my score."

Layla was suddenly interested in the mysterious student and continued to watch him.

Quinn next went to the hologram spike machine. Last time Quinn managed to last ten seconds against the machine before it got too fast for him to dodge the attacks. If his theory was right, he should at least be able to last twenty seconds now that his stats were no longer halved.

Quinn started the test and when the test eventually ended, he got exactly twenty seconds.

"It looks like I was right."

With Quinn having confirmed his results, there was nothing left for him to do but head back to the dorm and wait for the next day to start.

Meanwhile, Layla who had been watching this whole time had seen everything. She couldn't understand why a student would hide his strength in the school. A low power level meant you were a target for others.

Layla only had one thought while she looked at Quinn. "Interesting."

She decided from now on she would keep a close eye on Quinn.

Chapter 13 School hierarchy

The next day at 8:00 AM the students were woken up by the sound of an alarm in the dorm rooms. It was the signal for everyone to wake up and get dressed. Once everyone was ready, they were to head down to the canteen together for breakfast.

When Quinn woke up, he was greeted with a nice surprise from the system.

\u003cYou have completed your daily Quest\u003e

\u003c Avoid direct sunlight for 8 hours\u003e

\u003c Reward 5 exp\u003e

\u003c75/100\u003e

The daily quest had reset at midnight and Quinn had slept for 8 hours rewarding him with his exp. Quinn was pleased as this meant he would easily be able to gain 5 exp without having to go out of his way.

Then a rumbling sound came from his belly.

"I'm hungrier than I usually am for some reason, maybe my body really did use up a lot of energy in that fight." Quinn thought as he headed down to the canteen.

The canteen was a large hall but it was quite plain. In fact, while walking around the school Quinn noticed most of the school was plain. Single white walls, no picture frames, or anything, just windows now and again.

It was the sleek modern clean look that the world had taken. The canteen was then filled with large tables that we're able to seat three people on each side of the table. As soon as Quinn entered though he noticed something straight away.

There were no set seats in the canteen meaning students were free to sit where they liked. This straightaway led to a divide in the school. The low levels sat next to the low levels and the high levels sat with the high levels.

When Quinn was waiting in line with Peter and Vorden they noticed a student come late into the queue. He walked past most of the students and eventually cut into the line ahead of the others. Not one person said a word and the simple reason was he was a higher power level than them.

Quinn hated these types of actions but right now there was nothing he could do. Once the three of them got their food they started looking for a place to eat.

"Why don't we go over there?" Voden pointed at an empty spot.

"Are you sure Vorden?" Peter asked, "That's a level one area, you don't have to sit with us if you don't want to, right Quinn?"

"Yeah don't force yourself," Quinn replied.

"Quit talking nonsense you two, we're friends, I don't care about this stupid power level hierarchy going on."

The three of them then went to sit down with the other lower levels on a table. The area slowly started to fill up but not one other person had decided to sit on their table. There was a simple reason for this, they were scared of Vorden.

They could see his high-power level and the other low levels wanted to stay away.

As soon as the food was put on the table Quinn started to dig in straight away eating everything that was given to him, even the bits he usually didn't like.

"Hey if you're not going to finish that do you mind if I take it," Quinn asked.

"Sure, go ahead," Peter said.

Quinn not only ate all of his food but also everything the other two had left behind as well. Not only that but Quinn had grabbed 8 bottles of water as he wanted to finish his quest as soon as possible.

He noticed last time when he was in the sun, he sweated more than usual and thanks to the water he drank beforehand, he didn't feel as dehydrated. If they were to go outside again then this would be a big help to Quinn.

"For a skinny guy, you sure did pack down all that food," Vorden said.

Although Quinn had clearly eaten a lot, for some reason he still had a little bit of hunger that wouldn't quite go away. Luckily it was bearable and didn't distract him too much.

\u003cA daily quest has been complete: Drink two liters of water.\u003e

\u003c Reward 5 exp \u003e

\u003c80/100\u003e

Quinn was now only 20 points away from levelling up and he would soon see what benefits that brought him. Then Quinn suddenly remembered that he had learned the inspect skill yesterday and decided to use it on Vorden.

\u003cHP 10/10\u003e

\u003cRace: Human\u003e

\u003cAbility: None\u003e

\u003cBlood type: O- \u003e

Quinn paused for a second as he read over what he was seeing. For some reason, the system was stating that Vorden had no ability.

"Hey, Vorden can you still use Erin's ice powers at the moment?"

"Wow, I didn't know you were so interested in me," Vorden said as he rubbed the back of his head. "Actually, my ability resets every day and I haven't touched anyone today. Besides you two of course but you two are duds for my ability."

With breakfast over, it was time for them to head to class. On the way there in the middle of the hallway Peter and Quinn managed to spot Kyle. Kyle looked like he was in top condition and had completely healed.

As he walked past though he made sure to avoid eye contact.

"Do you think he'll tell the teacher what happened?" Peter whispered.

"No I doubt it, it's embarrassing for him to admit he was defeated by someone weaker then him, plus it will only make him a target if people find out."

It was time for the first class of the day and they needed to head to their tutor rooms together. Their teacher for the day was Del who was the same person who had shown them around the school.

The students took their seats and just like in the canteen people chose to sit next to those with the same power levels, all but Vorden of course. Vorden decided to sit at the back of the class with the level ones and twos and also chose to sit in between peter and Quinn.

Immediately the other students started to talk.

"What does he think he's doing sitting with those bottom feeders."

"I saw he sat with them in the canteen as well."

"Won't this cause a problem for the hierarchy at school, won't the second-year students start to do something?"

"Yeah if he keeps breaking the rules, then they will defiantly step in."

The difference in treatment wasn't just a school thing, it was a society thing as well. The higher power level you had the better job and more pay you could earn. The more support you would get from the government while the rest were forgotten about.

The ones at the top didn't have a problem with this of course. The lower power levels would do anything they asked just to obtain a new skill from them hoping one day they could increase their power level and anyone who tried to upset this, where quickly silenced.

It was the whole reason why the Pure group existed in the first place. To fight against this system and it was also why they were treated like terrorists.

Del started his lecture which was about the introduction fo the school and the great war.

"When we were losing the great war against the Dalki race that was when they had come forward. We call them the Originals. This was the first time the whole world had been introduced to abilities. Unknown to all of us they had kept these abilities for themselves for hundreds of years only passing it down to their family members.

Thanks to them they shared their abilities with others of the human race but not all of them of course. When we talk about an Original we are either talking about the founders of the ability or a group that decided to not share its abilities to the rest of the world."

Del then suddenly had a serious look on his face.

"Although we are currently in a time of piece who knows when the war will start again and that is why you are here."

Once the class had finished it was time for the students to take a break. Vorden, Quinn, and Peter headed outside to grab a snack. As soon as Quinn stepped outside though the usual message had appeared.

\u003cAll stats have been halved.\u003e

The three of them sat by a nearby bench and Quinn once again felt weak.

"Hey are you alright, you look sick again?" Vorden asked, "And your sweating like crazy."

"Yeah, I just get hot easily," Quinn replied.

The three of them continued to talk about useless things and the experiences they had at school, until suddenly a group of six male students appeared in front of them. Each of them wearing a black arm badge indicating that they were second-year students.

"Looks like the rumours were true." One of the second-year students said.

"We have some business to discuss with you three, do you mind coming with us?"

Chapter 14 Unwritten rules

Quinn, Peter, and Vorden were being escorted by the second-year students to a separate part of the school. The school was split into different sections and the second-year building was separate from the first years. This meant the second-year students didn't really interact with the first-year students.

"Shouldn't we just run?" Whispered Peter.

"It might just make the situation worse, if they were going to do something to us they would have waited until we were on our own." Quinn replied, "It seems like they did this in public intentionally, as if to make a statement to all the other low levels."

After walking for a while longer they had eventually arrived at their destination. It was down one of the sides of the second-year buildings, there were a few second-year students who were walking past but the place was relatively quiet.

Sitting down just outside of the building on the staircase, was a tall man with brown hair wrapped in a ponytail.

"We brought them here as you have asked Mono." One of the second-year students said.

"You guys can leave," Mono replied as he stood up from the staircase.

The second-year students did as they were told and quickly left them to be on their own.

"It seems there have been rumours going around of a high tier student hanging around with a bunch of low tier students."

Quinn then noticed Mono's wristwatch which had the number 6 written on it.

"Is it against the rules?" Vorden asked.

Mono started to laugh.

"Not quite but there are some unwritten rules of the academy." Mono then walked over to Quinn. "You see the moment you start treating this trash like they are useful to society, they start to get a big head."

Now that Mono was close enough to Quinn, Quinn was able to use his Inspect skill but when he tired casting it the status screen that appeared was blurry, it looked like the status screen itself was melting and all the information was unreadable.

"Is it because I'm out in the sun?" Quinn thought.

"Look at this scum." Mono said, "I'm only a few feet away from him and there isn't even an ounce of fear in his eyes. You know I'm happy that the war started because it got rid of people like you and only the strong survived."

Quinn's blood started to boil, he hated the war and how it had taken everything away from him including his parents. He no longer cared if he was going to take a beating or not, all he wanted to do was punch Mono in the face right there and then.

At this distance even if Quinn's punch was slow it should still hit. Quinn couldn't hold in his anger any longer and threw out a punch but before Quinn's punch was even thrown out fully, Mono had already taken a step back causing Quinn's fist to hit the air.

Vorden then took this chance to grab onto Mono. However, once again Mono had moved before Quinn had even started his action, causing Vorden to grab nothing.

"You think I'm going to let someone touch me who's ability I don't even know," Mono said. "I didn't come here to fight you guys, today was just a warning, there are some people in this school that not even the military can touch and if you continue acting this way, they will get involved."

With that, Mono headed back up the stairs and into the second-year building.

"Do you think he's serious?" Peter asked, "I know at school they didn't like this type of stuff but it seems even worse now that we're in a military school, why don't the teachers do something to stop it."

"Because it works in their favour." Quinn replied, "The strong bullying the weak causes the weak to go on the path to find more power, but if you were weak to begin with and don't have the family backing to help you, where would you go to get this power?"

"The military," Vorden answered.

"Exactly, the teachers and the school don't do anything because it benefits them. After experiencing hell for two years your mind will have been broken down. You would do anything to seek power and protection and the military can offer that for you." Quinn said.

Quinn then looked at Vorden.

"it might be best if we comply with their wishes and go our separate ways for now."

"Why should I listen to them!" Vorden snapped back.

The outburst surprised Quinn as Vorden was strangely against his suggestion.

"Look, I understand Vorden that you might think you are helping me and Peter but maybe you don't understand because you've never been powerless like us. When we break their rules they won't go for you, it will be me and Peter they will go for."

Quinn hated to saying this to Vorden, after all, Vorden was the first person who has a high-power level who didn't discriminate between people and so far Vorden's presence had helped. Whenever Quinn and Peter walked around the higher levels did nothing to them because of Vorden.

But this had only attracted bigger fish, something that Vorden and Quinn couldn't handle, at least, not yet anyway.

"Fine, have it your way!" Vorden said with anger as he stormed off back to the dorm building.

"Maybe we should have explained it to him better," Peter said.

"No, it's fine it's better this way," Quinn replied.

Although it looked like Vorden had stormed off in anger due to Quinn's words, that wasn't true at all. Vorden was angry at the whole situation at the school. Even here it seemed like people were telling him how he should live his life, who he could, and who he could not hang out with.

Vorden also didn't want Quinn to get hurt so he knew it was the right choice, but Vorden wasn't going to just let these people get away with trying to control his life. Vorden was going to go after them all.

Chapter 15 Finding my next targe

Layla had been tracking Quinn and the others for a while now, she was even there when Quinn was busy dealing with Mono. Although she didn't plan to help out or anything, she was just amazed that Quinn was able to attract so much attention in one day.

The only thing that Layla was confused about was why did Quinn's punch seem so weak and slow. From the looks of things, it seemed like Quinn really did want to punch Mono but that defiantly wasn't his best from what she had seen at the training centre.

After Vorden had stormed off, Peter and Quinn decided that it would be best that they head back to class for their next lesson. They walked for a while but just before they got back to the first-year building, a group of first-year students were standing in front of the staircase.

There were three of them in total and on their wrist watch they had a power level between 2 and 2.5.

"What are we going to do, Dan asked for 50 credits by the end of this week." One of the boys said.

"I know, why did they have to pick on us, just cause we're weaker than him." Another boy replied.

Credits were the School's and city's currency system. Even though they were at military school, the rest of the city functioned as normal. There were still restaurants and shops and even fun activities and games to play all around the city. If you wanted to do these things you would have to pay with credits.

Students received free food while at the school but they also received a daily amount of ten credits that would be sent to their wristwatch. The students were able to get more credits by performing well on missions, school activities, and rewards.

Peter and Quinn continued to walk past the boys to head the class, that's when one of the boys called out to them.

"Wait, stop right there you two!" the boy shouted.

Peter stopped immediately while Quinn carried on walking.

"Hey, are you listening I said stop." The boy said, then another boy immediately got in front of Quinn and pushed him back to where Peter was standing.

Quinn was hoping another incident wouldn't occur at least while out in the sun. If he got inside the building just in time then he thought he would have had a fighting chance.

"I think I might have just solved our credits problem; you must be the only level ones in this whole school." The boy said. "Hand over 10 credits each and you can go inside."

"But that's all the credits we have," Peter complained.

"look I don't want to do this but if I don't, then my arse gets beat. Hand over the credits now."

Peter looked at Quinn with hope in his eyes, perhaps thinking that Quinn might have been able to do something like last time but after trying to hit Mono, he knew he would have no chance. Besides, these were level twos even at full strength he might not be able to beat them.

Quinn decided that it would be better off to just hand over the credits anyway. It was better than losing a fight and forcing the credits over.

Just then Quinn received another system message.

\u003c A New quest has been given \u003e

\u003c A Power level difference of 2 has been detected\u003e

\u003c Additional exp will be awarded\u003e

\u003cDefeat the student known as Rylee\u003e

Suddenly, Quinn wanted to test out his chances. The idea of gaining additional exp and levelling up even further became really attractive to him but Quinn wouldn't let his greed win him over. Right now there were three level 2 power users but the system had only asked him to defeat one of them.

The first thing Quinn needed to do was get inside so he could use his inspect skill and find out which one was named Rylee. Right now if Quinn used it outside it would only appear as a blur.

In the end, Quinn decided to hand over the ten credits, He placed his watch on the other boys and the credits were transferred over. Peter ended up doing the same and the two of them were allowed to enter the building.

"Hey that was a great idea man!" one of the boys said, "Should we just stay out here until we find someone weaker again."

"What!" Quinn said in his head, he was hoping that once they had paid them, the boys would enter the building but it looked like they were going to hang outside for a while. Quinn suddenly stopped and waited.

"What are you two doing, scram unless you want an ass-kicking!" A boy said.

Then Quinn clenched his fist and shouted.

"Rylee!"

All three boys turned their heads at the same time but not one of them replied. Quinn bad luck continued but he had one more plan to find out which one of them was Rylee.

"If you pull this sort of thing again on me Rylee, your dead!" Quinn said.

Suddenly the boy stood in the centre of the three with red hair got up and shouted.

"What the hell did you say to me you little punk?"

"Run!" run Quinn shouted.

Like a bolt of lightning, Peter and Quinn ran as fast as they could to their next class.

"What did you do that for?" Peter asked.

"I just wanted to annoy them a little."

Peter couldn't help but think Quinn was a little mad but he liked the fact that Quinn didn't seem to take crap from people stronger than him and kind of looked up to him a little.

Once they were just outside their class Quinn opened up his status screen to check if the Quest was still active.

"Good." Even though Quinn was now away from Rylee, it seemed like the quest was still active and Quinn would get the exp as long as he completed it at any time.

And Now he knew which one was Rylee and who his first target would be.

"You're going to help me level up."

Chapter 16 A new look

Classes for the day had finally finished, since it was the first day most of the classes were just introductions and about what they would learn during their time at the school.

Peter and Quinn did their best to avoid most of the other students for the day and it seemed like after everything they had been through, they weren't going to get into any more trouble.

Once classes had finished it was time to go for dinner. Quinn still had this hunger in his stomach so he was looking forward to dinner more than usual. This time, Quinn and Peter both sat on their own at a table in the low-level area. Then Peter started to look around the room as if he was trying to spot someone.

"I don't see Vorden anywhere, do you think he's okay?" Peter asked.

Quinn then scouted around the room and he too couldn't see Vorden at the canteen.

"I wouldn't worry about it too much, trust me when I say this but he is a lot safer than us at this school."

The two continued to eat and once they had finished dinner decided to head back to their dorm room. To their surprise, Vorden was already in the dorm room on his own lying on his bed.

When the two of them closed the door behind them, Vorden lifted his head and immediately smiled at Peter and Quinn.

"Hey, I've been waiting for you two for a while now," Vorden said as he got off the bed. "I wanted to say sorry about earlier, I wasn't angry at you guys but just at this whole situation."

When Vorden got up from the bed, Quinn noticed a slight mark on the side of Vorden's face. It was a little red and a little swollen.

"What happened to your face?" Peter asked.

"Oh, this?" Vorden said as he touched the marking. "I got into a little scuffle of my own but don't worry I didn't lose. You don't have to worry about me I'm strong."

Then suddenly, a loud growling noise was heard in the room. Peter and Vorden immediately looked at Quinn whose face had gone bright red.

"Sorry, I guess I'm still hungry after dinner," Quinn said laughing nervously.

"Why don't you grab something from the convenience store, it's not too far away?" Vorden said.

Quinn looked at his watch and realized even if he did go to the convenience store to grab something, he wouldn't be able to buy anything in the first place since he had no credits but before he could even say anything, Vorden had come over and tapped his watch against Quinn's.

"Transfer of ten credits successful" The notification sounded.

"Don't even say anything and go grab something," Vorden said with a smile.

"Thanks."

With that Quinn left Peter and Vorden on their own while Quinn rushed off to the convenience store. The convenience store wasn't too far away from military school. If you walked out, it would take you around 20 minutes.

At the front of the school was a huge gate that had two guards stood at the entrance at all times, only students, teachers, and certain military personal were allowed on the school grounds. So when you exited students were required to show their wristwatch to the guard and same upon entering again.

Once past the gates, Quinn decided to test out how much ten stamina points really was. He started to jog at a relatively fast pace to the convenience store. After running for about 5 minutes he realized that he wasn't out of breath or anything like he usually would be.

He decided to run even faster eventually making it to the convenience store in 7 minutes.

"I think I was doing about a kilometre in under five minutes, and I'm not even out of breath." Quinn thought.

The stats given to him were that of an athlete's body, it wasn't the same weak body he had before but at the same time, it wasn't a supernatural body that surpassed human limits.

Another thing he noticed while running at night, he could see everything super clear. Even when there were no street lights, it was as if the moon had lightened everything up. A type of night vision of sorts.

\u003c Your hunger grows slightly \u003e

"I know, I don't need the system to tell me when I'm hungry."

When Quinn entered the convenience store he went and grabbed a few of his favourite snacks. Some late-night ice cream and potato chips. That's when he suddenly spotted Rylee and his friends in the same store down another aisle.

Quinn ducked down quietly and waited for them to finish shopping before doing anything else.

"What luck, I thought I would have to track him down but it seems like he's come right to me."

While Quinn was hiding, he noticed he was in the middle of the masks section. There was one particular mask that stood out to him. It was a fully black mask that covered the top half of the face so the mouth could be seen. Across the mask was blood splatter on it.

"Kinda spooky looking."

Once Rylee and the others had left the store, Quinn decided to grab the mask and snacks and placed them on the counter.

Layla who was also in the store noticed the mask that Quinn had bought.

"What the, it's not Halloween yet, what is he doing buying a mask like that?" she thought.

Layla decided to continue to follow Quinn while Quinn was busy following Rylee and his friends.

"Hey, we're going to shoot some hoops in the park, you want to join?" One of the boys asked.

"Nah, you know my ability useless for playing games like that." Rylee replied, "I think ill just head back and wait by the school gate, see if there are any more suckers I can leach some credits from."

The other two boys looked at each other, they knew what they were doing was wrong but were only doing it because they themselves didn't want to get beaten up by a higher power level. Where it seemed like Rylee was starting to get a little pleasure from bullying those weaker than him.

Rylee started to head back to school and eventually reached a small park on the way back. An area that was completely void of people and had very little lights. There were also plenty of trees for Quinn to hide himself.

"It's showtime," Quinn said as he put the mask on his face.

Chapter 17 Level up

Quinn continued to follow Rylee into the forest until he had eventually reached the park. It was mostly dark outside and the only visible light in the area was coming from either the moon or the single street lamp.

After checking if there were any people nearby, Quinn decided it was time to act and put on his mask.

"Even if he spots me now, he won't know who to come back to for revenge."

Rylee was currently going through the information on his watch, the glowing light displayed he had a total of 80 credits.

"I'm a genius, I don't know why I didn't do this sooner." Rylee said, "I have more than enough to pay Dan and keep some for myself, as long as I stay on Dan's good side, no one will try to attack me."

As soon as Rylee finished his thought, he felt a large impact on his right side.

Just then Quinn had come out from the trees and threw out a kick causing Rylee to stumble to the ground. When Rylee looked up all he could see was a student wearing a horrifying mask, with a blood splat on the front.

"What the heck, who are you?" Rylee shouted.

Of course, Quinn wasn't going to answer and wanted to finish the fight fast. He ran up to Rylee and threw another kick, this time though Rylee was prepared and lifted his hands manging to block the kick.

When Quinn's legs hit Rylee's hands though, it felt like he was kicking against solid rock.

"OUCH!" Quinn said as he quickly leapt backward to check on his leg.

He lifted his trousers and saw his leg was badly hurt, it looked like his bones had even bent in slightly.

"What?" Rylee thought as he saw his attacker fall back. Then Rylee spotted his attacker's wristwatch, which lit up brightly in the dark and displayed the number one.

Rylee started to laugh.

"I see now, you're probably one of the students I took the credits from earlier, And I'm guessing you thought you could get some revenge."

Quinn then quickly used his inspect skill on his opponent.

HP 8/10

Race: Human

Abilty: Hardening

Blood type: B

"Damn it, no wonder my leg felt like it hit a rock."

Although Quinn's surprise attack didn't work, he still felt like he could win this fight.

Quinn charged in once again this time throwing a fist. The attack was faster than Rylee had expected and he didn't have time to use his hardening skill and he took the blow right in the face.

"I think he cracked my tooth, how hard does this kid hit?" Rylee thought.

Quinn threw another punch with his other hand but Rylee had predicted this and hardened his face in time. When Quinn's fist hit Rylee's face, once again it felt like he was hitting a rock.

Your fist is broken

7/10 HP

Quinn then stepped back causing distance between the two.

"Again, what am I meant to do if he keeps hardening his body?"

ChapterMid();

Then a thought came into Quinn's mind. If Rylee was able to harden his body then why didn't he just keep it hardened all the time? If he did then Quinn's first attack wouldn't have gone through.

Did this mean that Rylee was only able to Harden a single part of his body at a time? It was just a theory but Quinn had nothing to lose and this gave him a plan.

Quinn Ran forward at Rylee one more time shouting.

"I'm going to punch that ugly face of yours if it's the last thing I do!"

Rylee then hardened his face again and was ready this time but at the last second Quinn changed his punch to a kick in the stomach, causing Rylee to bend over.

"It worked."

Then Quinn went to knee Rylee in the stomach again but at the last second stopped and punched Rylee on the back of the head. Now Rylee laid on the ground defenceless. Ray gave one fast swift attack to the back of his head and Rylee was knocked out.

"Did you really think I would call where I was going to attack?" Quinn said.

"Would I like to level up? Why even bother asking." Quinn thought.

Yes

"Who cares, Yes"

Congratulations! You are now level 2

Evolution process has started

"Evolution?"

Suddenly, Quinn felt a large stabbing pain in his heart, it started to beat faster then it had ever done before. The blood started to rush through his veins all over his body. The pain was so much that Quinn had fallen to his knees but he did his best to keep in any screams, fearing he would alarm anyone.

The pain continued throughout his body, his broken hand started to heal along with his legs, and then a sharp stabbing pain could be felt in his teeth. The pain continued to last for a further five minutes until it had eventually stopped.

Congratulations, you have successfully evolved

You are now a Half-Ling

Quinn starred at the words the system gave him but it didn't make sense to him, he had never heard of the term halfling before. Then even more messages started to appear.

Your stats have increased

A new skill has been unlocked

Lv1 Blood swipe

Blood swipe: A skill that has a range of 5 meters. It will fire out a red line of energy form the user's hands. To use the skill the user must use their own blood causing -1HP per Blood swipe.

Before Quinn had time to check out the changes to his stats, another message had appeared which was the most shocking of them yet.

Chapter 18 I'm a Vampire

Quinn had to take a few steps back and took a minute to take everything in. He couldn't believe what he was reading right now. After seeing that last message there was only one thing that came into his head.

"I'm a Vampire?"

Maybe Quinn was just trying to avoid the truth this whole time but this was the finale thing to confirm it. Quinn had his suspicion after reading the book, but everything was adding up, him being weaker in the sun, his night vision, and the fact the system wanted him to drink blood.

But now it was telling him that he would have to drink blood otherwise he would die. Quinn stood there looking down at Rylee who was passed out lying on the ground.

Quinn gulped his saliva down, for some reason something was drawing him to Rylee's body. Without realizing it, he was slowly moving forward and suddenly he could see Rylee's pulse beating through his neck. The blood flowing through his veins.

Bonus Quest granted

Consume your victim's blood to gain a stat point

"How am I even meant to do this." Quinn thought as he looked Rylee like a piece of meat on a plate.

Layla had continued to watch Quinn since he left the convenience store. When she saw Quinn following Rylee and him holding the mask, she had an idea of what Quinn was planning to do. She kept a safe distance back while staying in between the trees to avoid being seen.

That's when she saw the whole thing. She saw Quinn put on the mask and beat Rylee to the ground but then she was wondering what Quinn was doing. He was kneeling on the floor as if he was in pain and now, he was looking at Rylee very strangely she thought.

The next second she saw Quinn go to the ground and lift Rylee's body slightly off the floor.

"What the…" Layla said, "He can't be planning to... kiss him, what is wrong with this person?"

Quinn continued to lift Rylee of the ground and place him back down again as he was deciding on what to do.

"Damn it, in the movies it so much easier." Quinn said, "The idea of sticking my teeth into someone, I just can't do it."

In the end, Quinn decided to leave Rylee's body there and head back to the school.

"I wonder what that was all about, in the end, he didn't do anything?" Layla thought.

Quinn started to head back to school and placed the mask back in his shopping bag. He noticed that the ice cream he had bought had melted but for some reason when he looked at it, in no longer looked appetizing.

There was a hunger in his stomach that he knew wouldn't be satisfied with food and he wondered just how long he would be able to hold it in.

When Quinn had finally arrived back at school, he decided to stop by the toilet first. Quinn was looking at himself in the mirror to see if there were any noticeable changes but Quinn looked the same as before. Then Quinn lifted up his lips so he could get a better view of his teeth but they too had stayed the same.

ChapterMid();

"Phew, at least it looks like no one will be able to tell. I wonder why I felt pain in my teeth at the time then?"

Quinn then decided to open his status screen to see if there were any differences from before now that he had levelled up and evolved.

Name: Quinn Talen

Race: Half-Ling

HP 15/15

Exp 50/200

Strength 10

Agility 10

Stamina 10

Attribute points available (1)

Quinn's health had increased by 50 percent while everything else seemed to have remained the same. To be honest, Quinn was pretty bumped out about that but just underneath he could see that there was a single attribute point.

When Quinn pressed on the system it would allow him to increase his strength, Agility or Stamina by one point. Quinn thought about it for a while and decided to add a point to his Agility.

Agility 11

Even though Quinn wanted to put it into strength in case he met more people like Rylee, he thought he could overcome that problem with a good beast weapon and would just be a waste of stats. What he wanted right now was to be able to be fast and agile like an assassin.

Quinn wondered if there was a reason why the system had only given him one point, then he started to remember the additional quest that it had given him. As long as Quinn consumed the blood of his victim, it would give him a stat point.

So far Quinn would have been able to have an additional two stat points while levelling up only gave him one. If Quinn wanted to get stronger then this would be the quickest way.

But Quinn was unsure on whether or not he would be able to do it, he needed to try to do more research into the system and see if there was anything he could find out.

He had a direction now and knew his system was similar to that of a vampire. Perhaps if he learned more about them he would be able to figure out if there was a way around drinking the blood as well.

With that, Quinn decided to head to his room where he could hear Vorden and Peter practicing together. Peter was trying his best to learn the skill book the military had given him, while Vorden was tutoring him.

When Quinn had entered the room, Vorden and Peter greeted him as usual.

"What took you so long?" Vorden asked, "We thought you might have gotten lost."

"No, I just went exploring the city a little" Quinn replied, "I'm a bit tired I think I'm going to go bed early."

"Maybe we should call it a day for now as well," Peter said.

With that, the group turned off the lights and went to sleep. All except for one person that is.

Quinn was unable to sleep, his stomach was in a tremendous amount of pain and he had too much on his mind. Eventually though, he finally managed to close his eyes and drift off.

When he woke up the next day though, the pain was worse than ever. His head was ringing and his senses felt like they were on high alert. The first thing Quinn did was open up his system.

10 hours have passed

You hunger grows

You have lost -10Hp

HP 5/15

Your HP will continue to decrease every hour

This was bad, Quinn finally realized that he had no choice and didn't have time to figure out another way. He needed to drink human blood and he needed to in the next five hours.

Chapter 19 Running out of time!

Even though Quinn had lost 2/3 of his HP, it didn't feel like he was hurt or dying. It wasn't like when he was out in the sun when he felt week, instead, it felt like all his senses were on high alert.

"Hey Quinn, are you alright man?" Vorden asked seeing Quinn's face in shock.

"Yeah, I just, got to go somewhere," Quinn said as he rushed out of the room, heading down to the canteen.

Everything that happened so far was a miscalculation on Quinn's part. Although the system had told him he would lose 1 hp every hour, he didn't expect his body to react like this. Originally, he only planned to sleep for five hours as he was too worn out after the fight yesterday.

That way he would still have at least ten hours and a few hours in the morning before classes started. Quinn started to calculate how much time he had left. Breakfast was a requirement which lasted from 8 till 9, then classes went on till 12 midday for lunch.

That meant there were four more hours where he was required to be somewhere in the school. Of course, there was always the option of skipping, but this wasn't like regular school. The army would severely punish you and hunt you down if you did. But what did that matter if he was going to die anyway?

Quinn was currently in the canteen queue to be served some food. He was breathing in deep breaths and in and out slowly, it was helping him get the hang of his heightened senses. He could hear the conversation from the other side of the room.

Pots and pans clanging in the kitchen as if they were next to him. Slowly Quinn was figuring out how to ignore all these and it was making his mind think clearer.

Just then though, Rylee had entered the canteen. He had no markings on his body from the fight yesterday as he had managed to make a full recovery at the medical centre but he was in a terrible mood after what had happened yesterday.

As soon as he saw Quinn, he had found a target to take out all his pent-up frustration on. Rylee walked past all the level ones that were in the queue until he eventually reached the spot were Quinn was standing.

"Hey Pipsqueak, you got a problem if I cut Infront of you?" Rylee asked.

But Quinn was too busy trying to focus the sounds out from his mind.

"Are you ignoring me? Today is not the day to ignore me." Rylee looked at Quinn's wristwatch seeing the number 1 shine bright on it. Immediately bad memories of yesterdays fight had come into his head and how all he wanted to do was kill the person but that would have to wait for now and Quinn would have to do.

"I said don't ignore me?" Rylee said as he grabbed Quinn by the collar.

But in that instant, Rylee's face was incredibly close to Quinn's. Quinn could hear Rylee's heartbeat. He could feel the blood flowing through his arm and muscles lifting his shirt.

Something had taken over Quinn's body and he immediately hit Rylee's arm away and pounced on him causing the two of them to fall to the ground.

Quinn was now on top of Rylee and had both his hands pinned down.

"Get off me you crazy animal!" Rylee said but when Rylee tried to overpower Quinn and lift his hands, it was impossible. Even his Ability was useless in this situation. His ability only hardened his skin, it didn't make him any more powerful.

Then Quinn started to feel something growing in his mouth. Quinn placed his head just a few inches away from Rylee's neck and was ready. Just as Quinn opened his mouth though, he felt someone pull him by the back of his collar and chucked him off Rylee towards the people in the queue.

"Don't touch one of my boys," Dan said.

Dan was a large man for his age with a muscular build. He didn't look like a teenage boy but more like a bald adult.

"Dan, thank you so much," Rylee said as he stood up from the ground sweating. "You're dead now boy."

As soon as Dan took one step forward though, Vorden stepped Infront of Quinn with Peter.

"Do you really want to cause a problem," Vorden said lifting his arm to show the power level on his wristwatch.

The truth was, Vorden was only bluffing. Vorden's power very much depended on what ability he copied and right now all he had was Peter's level 1 earth ability. If they were to get into a fight here, there was no contest on who would win.

But Vorden's plan seemed to work as Dan decided to back down and take Rylee with him but before Rylee walked off, he signalled to Quinn imitating someone cutting his head off.

"Oh, thank you, thank you, I can't believe that worked," Peter said knowing Vorden's secret.

After the canteen incident was over, something became clear to Quinn. That teaches wouldn't step in no matter what happened. In the canteen there were many guards standing in each corner of the room but not once did they step in to help.

After the group finished eating it was time for them to go to their morning classes but Quinn was unable to concentrate on anything, all he could do was try to calm himself down while in the middle of class and watch his HP slowly tick away.

It was driving him insane seeing the number go down hour by hour and now wished he had just bitten into Rylee's neck yesterday.

Then when it came to lunchtime, Quinn once again rushed off without Vorden and Peter this time to the library.

\u003c1/15 HP\u003e

"What the hell is happening to me?" Quinn said as his hands wouldn't stop shaking.

Each time Quinn's HP would go down, it was getting harder and harder to control his own body and sooner or later he would go crazy. During class, he had multiple visions of tearing the place apart and ripping out the blood from their necks.

Without realising where he was walking to, Quinn eventually ended up in the library. In the quiet corner of the library down one of the isles was the fiction section.

"Please have something I can use," Quinn said as he took out fantasy book after fantasy book about Vampires.

In some of the books, Vampires were able to live off animal blood, But Quinn's system clearly stated he needed human blood. Not just that but it would be hard for him to find an animal in time. In other stories, there were talks of going to the hospital and raiding their supply but the hospital in the city was heavily guarded and he didn't have time for that.

Finally, for the first time, Quinn could feel himself getting weaker. He sat on the floor and read one last book and found nothing of use. When he closed the book, he could see Layla standing there opposite him.

"Are you okay?" Layla asked concerned for Quinn as he was starting to look very pale.

Layla then bent down so she was at eye level with Quinn and placed her hand on his forehead to check his temperature.

"You're so cold? Do you want me to take you to the nurse's office?" Layla asked.

Quinn replied with one word.

"Sorry…"

He said as he pulled Layla's arm bringing her close to him and bit into Layla's neck.

Chapter 20 A Problem

As Quinn opened his mouth wide, he could feel the ends of his teeth start to grow, he didn't know what had come over him and it was as if his body had just taken control, his mind wasn't all there.

His teeth quickly sunk into Layla's skin and at the same time, a gush of blood entered Quinn's mouth. However, Layla didn't feel any pain from this but instead, it felt like pleasure. A tingling sensation ran through her body as she felt the blood rush up through and out of her neck.

Even if she wanted to resist, she couldn't, the bite seemed to have a paralysis effect.

Finally, Quinn's hunger was going away.

\u003cYour hunger has decreased \u003e

\u003cYour hunger has decreased \u003e

\u003cYou will no longer lose HP\u003e

Even though the messages had appeared, Quinn continued to suck Layla's blood away.

\u003cHP regenerating\u003e

\u003cHP regenerating\u003e

\u003c15/15 HP\u003e

Then when the last message had appeared, Quinn's mind had finally come back to him. He let got of Layla, causing her body to fall to the ground.

"What the?" Quinn said as he looked around himself, only then noticing Layla on the ground.

"Did I do that?"

Then images of what he had just done popped into his head, although at the time he felt like he had no control, in the end, his whole body still working causing him to remember everything he had done.

\u003cA blood type has been absorbed\u003e

\u003c You have gained 1 strength\u003e

Although Quinn wanted to check what the message had said and what it had it meant, he needed to get Layla out of the library fast. Even though they were in a quiet part of the library, there was no telling when somebody would come back.

Thankfully Quinn could see Layla breathing so he at least knew she wasn't dead but there were two clear bite marks on her neck that needed to be dealt with. Quinn then lifted Layla up with his two hands, finding her surprisingly lighter than he thought.

As Quinn headed to the Doctor's office, he couldn't stop thinking about what had just happened. A part of him thought that the system might have just been playing tricks on him. Even though he could see his HP going down, he never felt like he was going to die at any point.

And Quinn didn't even know if going to 0 HP meant death but after what had happened today, he didn't want to find out.

There were a few things Quinn needed to do. He needed to find out how frequent his body required blood. To do this meant he would have to once again starve his body of blood.

But this time he would get blood beforehand, so he would be better prepared. But before even all that, he had another serious problem in his hands. Layla, would she remember anything when she got up, or would Quinn have to convince her to keep it a secret?

If others were to find out of his rare ability it would start a bidding war between the private companies and military. They would do anything to get their hand on a new type of ability.

Before anyone could find out about Quinn, he needed to be strong enough to protect himself.

While Quinn walked down the hallway, he got quite a few looks from the other students, it wasn't strange to see someone carry an injured person in the school but it was strange for a boy to carry a girl unless they were an item.

Finally, Quinn had reached the infirmary, where there was a single female doctor named Hayley, who looked to be in her early thirties. She wore round glasses and had her hair up in a ponytail. Quinn never got the chance to mess around with girls while he was at school but looking at the doctor, he couldn't help but appreciate her natural beauty.

"Another one?" Hayley said. "There's a bed free at the back, take her over there."

Quinn did as he was told and placed Layla gently on one of the single beds in the back. The infirmary was quite large, Quinn had never seen a school have one so big. There was a total of 30 beds but Hayley was the only one working there.

At the moment about half the beds were filled up with students and Quinn couldn't help but notice most of them were low levels. There were the odd high levels as well. Even they got into their own fights and disagreements.

Hayley came over to where Quinn and Layla were and started to examine Layla. She placed her hand around her Wrist and did a few other checks. That's when she noticed the two small hole marks on her neck.

"What happened? Hayley asked.

"I'm not sure, I was in the library when I saw her on the ground like that," Quinn replied.

"I don't know how long she was passed out for but the wound on her neck looks like it's already healing on its own." Hayley said, "Still I can't be sure if it will heal and it would be a shame if a pretty girl like her got a scar."

Hayley then placed her hand on Layla's neck where the bite marks were. She closed her eyes and after a few seconds, lifted her hands and the bite marks had vanished.

"Is it okay if I wait here for her?" Quinn asked.

"Oh, young kids these days," Hayley said laughing. "I didn't realise you two were like that."

"No, No, no," Quinn said waving his arms. "Were just friends that's all."

After Hayley had gone away to look after other students, Quinn decided to open up his system.

\u003c Strength 11\u003e

\u003c Agility 11\u003e

\u003cStamina 10\u003e

"It really did give me an extra stat point after all?"

After sucking Layla's blood, it seemed like he had gained a stat point. Quinn remembered after defeating opponents the system would give him an additional quest to suck his victim's blood. The reward was a stat point but it seemed like there was no need for him to get a quest.

Was Quinn able to drink anyone's blood and gain stat points, what happened if Quinn was to drink Layla's blood again, would he gain another stat? there were so many questions Quinn wanted answers for.

He looked at Layla lying there peacefully. Right now, he was in complete control of his body and there was no urge for him to suck on Layla's neck again. After checking his teeth, he realised that they had gone back to normal.

That's when Quinn decided to look around the room, until he finally found what he was looking for, a syringe with a needle. Quinn looked around the room and saw that Hayley was busy dealing with another student. He carefully took the syringe and hid it behind his back and then quickly scooted over to where Layla was once more.

"I'm really sorry about this Layla." Quinn said, "But you're going to have to be my guinea pig."

Quinn took out the syringe and carefully looked at where Layla's veins were. Luckily Layla was quite pale making her veins more visible.

Quinn searched carefully for the right spot and was ready but just as Quinn was about to extract some blood, he heard someone crash into the room.

"Is Quinn here." A boy's voice said.

"Isn't that Peter?" Quinn immediately put the syringe in one of his trouser pockets and went to see what was happening.

"Quinn you're here, come quick, I've been looking everywhere for you. It's Vorden, he's in trouble!"

Chapter 21 I'm a monster

Although Quinn had no idea what was happening, just from looking at Peter's face he could tell it was serious. Quinn then looked behind to see Layla lying there still sleeping away.

It was important for Quinn to be there when Layla woke up. He had to convince her to not tell anyone her secret but right now it seemed like Vorden was in trouble.

Quinn then thought back to the incident at the canteen. When Quinn was in trouble Vorden stepped up to help him.

Although there probably wasn't much Quinn could do to help, he wouldn't know if he didn't try.

What kind of person would he be if he couldn't help Vorden now?

"Alright come on," Quinn said. "Let's hurry."

The two of them quickly ran through the hallways until they had finally reached the assembly hall. It was currently a large empty hall with marble flooring and a stage at the front. It hadn't been used for anything yet so far but it was the area where the students would be called if they were to have a meeting.

When the two of them entered the assembly hall, there were already multiple students there mumbling about a commotion.

"Did you see what happened\u003e"

"Yeah, that guy is a monster how could he do that?"

"Luckily the second-year students were here to stop him."

The assembly hall was complete trashed. Craters and rubble had formed on parts of the walls and ground. Burn marks and other things were there as well and there was even blood. Something Quinn could smell the second he had entered the room.

"What happened here?" Quinn asked, "Where's Vorden?"

Clearly, a fight had taken place here and Quinn feared the worst.

"I don't know," Peter replied. "Me and Vorden were busy messing around practising my earth ability together, that's when a bunch of second years I'd never seen before came up to us asking for Vorden. Vorden told me not to worry but of course, I worried so I followed them. That's when I saw them take him to the assembly hall but two of the students stood guard and wouldn't let me come inside. I didn't know what to do, so that's when I came looking for you."

Quinn and Peter then went around asking the students what happened but when they did, the students seemed to avoid the question or completely ignore them, as if they were told not to tell anyone what they had seen.

While Peter continued to ask the students that were still in the hall about what happened. Quinn already knew that they wouldn't give him any more answers so he started to do some inspecting of his own.

The smell of iron in the room was thicker than anything else to Quinn and it led him to an area where dried up could be seen on the floor.

"Inspect."

Name: Vorden Blade

Race: Human

Blood type: O-

Quinn started to inspect the battle scene and found more traces of blood but when he used the inspect skill on them, it wouldn't show him any information at all. It would only show \u003c?????\u003e

"Do I have to use the inspect skill on them in person?" Quinn thought.

It was a shame the blood on the floor had already dried up, otherwise, Quinn would have used the syringe he had on hand.

Just then, Peter had finished questioning everyone and returned to Quinn.

"It doesn't;t look like anyone wants to talk," Peter said.

"Figures, let's just head back to our dorm, who knows he might have returned."

The two of them then headed back to the Dorm room together and when they entered, they were surprised to actually see Vorden already there. However, something wasn't right, Vorden wasn't his regular self.

Just by looking at him Quinn and Peter could tell he had been in a ruff fight. Bruises and scuff marks everywhere, Large cuts on his back. He looked like he had been in a tough battle. Not only that but Vorden didn't even great them when the two entered.

The Vorden they had come to know, was not the same Vorden right now. Vorden just stayed there lying down on his bed.

"Vorden, what happened is everything all right?" Peter asked.

"Yeah, just leave me be I'll be fine," Vorden said. "If you stay near me you will just get hurt anyway."

"What are you talking about Vorden!" Peter shouted. "Look at you, you have to go to the doctor's office, come on let's go."

"Just leave me alone please," Vorden said quietly.

"Quinn, come on say something he needs to go to the doctor's office right…" But as Peter turned around to seek support from Quinn. Quinn was nowhere to be seen.

"Even he thinks I'm a monster," Vorden mumbled to himself.

Just outside the dorm room. Quinn was leaning up against door panting hard and sweating. Although he had no reaction when looking at people anymore, it was different when he saw Vorden. Vorden still had fresh cut marks all over his body and the smell coming off him was strong.

Suddenly Quinn felt like he had a craving for a little bit of blood. It was something he could control, it wasn't like last time where his body had taken over but it had brought back bad memories for him and he was a little afraid of what might have happened.

"I really need to find out what's going on with this strange system ability I have?"

Then a thought came into his head, there was a pending problem that he still hadn't dealt with. Although Vorden was acting strange right now, Quinn knew he was safe. Whatever problems Vorden where dealing with now, would just have to wait.

Every second wasted meant there was a chance for Layla to wake up and who knew what would happen when she did.

Just then at the same time in the doctor's office, in the corner, at the back of the room, Layla slowly started to open her eyes.

"Huh, what happened?" Layla said, "Where am I?"

As Layla looked around the room, she started to rub her neck and at the same time images had flashed through her head of what had happened at the library.

She remembered everything.

Chapter 22 Layla's Reques

When images of what had happened to Layla started flashing through her head, she immediately started to get this tingling feeling over her body. She was reacting to the memories of Quinn biting into her.

It wasn't a painful memory but quite an addictive feeling. The sensation of the blood rushing through her body. Her face was starting to turn a little red just thinking about it. That's when she lifted her hand and placed it on her neck.

"Huh, I can't feel anything?"

"Oh, so you're awake," Haley said with a smile. "You were sleeping so peacefully there I didn't know when you were going to wake up."

"How did I get here?" Layla asked.

"Oh a boy came in and dropped you off, he said he was your friend, I can't remember his name but he had short black curly hair," Hayley said with a smile thinking about the tow of them.

This confirmed Layla's thought. Quinn must have brought her here right after biting her.

Hayley then noticed that Layla was rubbing the side of her neck with her hand.

"Oh, I got rid of those two marks for you, do you remember what happened."

Once again as she thought back to the memory of Quinn biting her, she started to get goose bumps all over her body.

"I'm not sure maybe it was a beast?" Layla replied

"A beast?"

"Yeah, I here sometimes a stray can come out with the students while they're training through the portals," Layla said nervously hoping that Hayley would believe her lie.

"Well whatever it was, I'm sure someone else will deal with it, it's just a good thing your safe now."

Quinn was running through the school halls as fast as he could, he needed to make it to the doctor's office before Layla woke up. He had no idea how Layla would react, not only that but what were the consequences of biting someone?

If it was like some of the Vampire Novels Quinn had read in the library, some vampires had the ability to turn others. Right now, Quinn thought that might be a better situation than everyone finding out about his ability.

Finally, Quinn had reached the doctor's office and he pulled the door wide open.

"Oh hello again," Hayley said. "If you're looking for the girl you just missed her, she left a little while ago."

"Really? Did she happen to say anything?" Quinn asked, judging by Haley's reaction it didn't seem like Layla had said anything but he needed to make sure.

"Oh you mean about the wound, she said that a beast might have attacked her, although I highly doubt that, it looked more like snake bite but how did it manage to get into the school and all the way up her neck." Hayley continued to ramble on. She often did this as she was left on her own a lot of the times being the only doctor stationed at the school. It was a lonely Job.

"Thanks for letting me know," Quinn said as he closed the door.

Why did Layla decide to keep it a secret Quinn thought? He had basically assaulted the poor girl, good it be that she didn't remember what happened or maybe she was planning to use at blackmail against him but that didn't make sense, she had nothing to gain.

Quinn had always thought like this, people when they did something, always did it for selfish reasons, that's just the way people were. He couldn't believe that Layla would keep this a secret for no reason.

Just then while Quinn was outside the doctor's office thinking of what to do next. He felt a hand on his shoulder.

"You and me, we need to talk," Layla said.

Had she been waiting here this whole time, this was bad. Layla clearly indicated that she knew something which meant losing her memory of the events where unlikely.

The two of them then headed to the library where then incident took place. Quinn felt a bit more relaxed, taking him here meant she wasn't looking for a fight as there were other students in the room.

The two of them sat at a table and activated the Orb so only the two of them could be heard. As they looked into each other's eyes for a bit, Quinn started to run multiple scenarios through his head. If worst came to worst, he might have to silence her.

"What happened at the library, what did you do?" Layla asked rubbing her neck.

"Why bother asking if you already know what happened?" Quinn said. "Just tell me what you want?"

"I don't know if you know this but I kept an eye on you for longer than you think, after observing you for a while a came to a conclusion. You're a Vampire, aren't you?"

Quinn started to laugh nervously hoping to throw Layla of track. He was actually amazed by how she had come to the conclusion so fast when it even took him a while. Even if she did see everything, he had done so far he didn't think this was the natural conclusion someone would come to.

"And why would you think that?"

"I saw you lifting, that boy's neck, at the time I thought you doing something else cause I couldn't see clearly," Layla said as her ears started to heat up a little. "But after what you had done to me, it confirms it."

Quinn started to sweat slightly at the integration. He wasn't worried about Layla herself but the troubles she could bring him in the future. Quinn didn't know what to say and thought he would wait for Layla to make her demand.

Layla then took a deep breath before saying her next words. This is what Quinn was waiting for, her request.

"I want you to hear me out. I want you to make me a Vampire."

Quinn was so shocked by the words that had come out of Layla's mouth that he nearly fell out of his seat.

"What, do you realise what you are saying right now?"

"Please," Layla said as if she was begging him. "It's a childhood dream of mine, this type of things only happens in books or fairy tales and now I have the chance for it to happen right now." She said with her eyes lit up.

Now Quinn realised why Layla didn't tell anyone, simply put this girl was crazy.

Chapter 23 An asisstan

Layla had grown up her whole life reading fantasy stories and comics about all sorts of things. Before the whole war started, her father used to work as a writer, so her home was filled with books and stories and her favourite ones were always about vampires.

She loved everything about them, how they had to keep their identity secret to the world, the super-strength they had, the super speed and the fact that they could live on nearly forever.

When Abilities were realised to the world, it made fantasy stories a thing of the past. Many people read stories because they were that, fantasy. It allowed them to imagine doing something that they could never do but now that humans actually had special powers, what was the point?

However, the love for Vampires never died down for Layla, it only grew. If abilities exited then that meant somewhere out their maybe vampires did too. When she saw Quinn's actions, she had already convinced herself that he was a vampire.

Quinn was right when he thought a normal person wouldn't have come to the same conclusion but that's was because Layla wasn't a normal person.

Layla then suddenly got out of her seat and started to bow down to Quinn on her knees. The students in the room although couldn't hear their conversation, couldn't help but look at them.

"Please, I'll do anything for you," Layla said.

"Alright, I understand please get up," Quinn said.

The two of them sat down at their seats again, before Quinn started to speak, he let out a big sigh, thinking about how he was going to explain this to her.

"It's not what you think," Quinn said, "I'm not a vampire, I became like this from an Ability book."

Suddenly the smile on Layal's face disappeared.

"You know what that means right?" Quinn asked.

Layla nodded. Quinn was basically telling her it was impossible for him to give her this ability. The reason was a human body could only activate one ability. When learning an ability, it mutated the genes inside of your body but once your genes had been mutated, they could no longer change or add a second mutation.

Because Layla already had the ability of telekinesis, it meant Layla was unable to learn a second ability.

"Then why did you hide this from the academy, why did you tell them you had no ability. If you got this from an ability book you can't be an original?"

"Have you ever heard of an ability like this?" Quinn asked.

Layla thought about for a while and realised there was nothing quite like it. There was never a record of an ability requiring someone to drink blood.

"But if you told the school you got it from an ability book, one that's not even been registered and you aren't an original, you could make a fortune selling the book!" Layla said excitedly.

"I wish that was true but I can't do that either," Quinn explained. "When I learnt the ability the book simply vanished."

Layla was debating whether Quinn was telling the truth or not but she had no choice but to believe him. It was the only explanation of why Quinn was so adamant in hiding his ability. Ability books didn't just vanish they were books. They could be passed on for others to learn.

If people found out about this, multiple companies and the military would put immense pressure on Quinn to share the ability with the world and with no powerful family backing him, Layla couldn't imagine what would be done to him.

They would never believe him if he said he got it from an ability book and it disappeared.

Quinn then proceeded to tell Layla about everything that had happened so far. About how his ability was a game, like a system and it had given him strange quests and he could unlock skills. It was nothing like the Vampire stories Layla used to read but at the same time, it seemed like the system was applying similar rules.

"Fine, I will keep this as a secret but only on one condition. I want you to help you out." Layla said. "Clearly you don't know much about this thing, so much so that you had gone out of control and bit me in the neck. We can't have you going around school biting people. They'll take you away in a heartbeat. If you need to feast on someone, then feast on me." Layla said placing her hand on herself.

Quinn started to think about the situation, having Layla as a helper was a big advantage. Quinn himself wanted to test multiple things about the system and here he had someone offering to help for free.

And it truly felt like Layla was telling the truth. Not only that but Layla seemed to be more knowledgeable about vampires then himself. Perhaps she would even be able to help him in his research.

"It's a deal," Quinn said as the two of them shook hands.

Layla was happy that Quinn had accepted. The truth was Layla still hadn't given up the idea of being a Vampire. Unlike Quinn, Layla wasn't too sure that what Quinn had was an ability in the first place. An ability was usually a specific set of skills but Quinn had completely changed as if he was no longer human.

"Alright, the first thing is first, you going to need to take some of my blood." Layla said, "That way if you're getting hungry again, you can drink some of that.

Layla then pulled down her shirt slightly and started to show her neck towards Quinn.

"What are you thinking, we can't do it here in front of the library and I'm not just going to bite into your neck."

As the two continued to talk and chat about things in the library about what to do next.

Vorden had entered the library and could see Quinn talking to Layla, both chatting and smiling away.

"So you've forgotten about me that quickly huh," Vorden said, "You're just like the rest of them, I'll show you what it means to betray me Quinn. If people are going to call me a monster, then I might as well embrace it and become one."

Chapter 24 A School secre

Peter was currently running around the school looking for Quinn or Vorden. For some reason, both of his new friends had suddenly started acting very strange and Peter didn't know what to do about it. His life at his previous school had been hell and he did everything he could to serve those above him.

And for the first time ever he had made friends that protected him. Quinn, even though he was a low level himself had stood up for Peter and Vorden who had not only protected him but helped him learn his new ability. Something had happened to Vorden and suddenly he was acting strange.

Although Peter had no clue what was going on with Quinn, he had some idea about what had changed Vorden. It was after whatever had happened at the assembly hall with the second-year students. But no matter who he would talk to about it, not one person would give him an answer. Some even begin to threaten him.

That's when Peter could hear a familiar voice. While walking down the hallway Peter could hear someone speaking, a voice he recognised. As he turned the corner, he saw that is was indeed Vorden. Vorden stood there staring idly at the ground. Peter quickly hid back around the hallway corner.

So far whenever Peter had spotted Vorden, he would just ignore him and walk away without even speaking to him but now it sounded like Vorden was speaking to someone else.

"Would you two calm down," Vorden said.

There was then a brief pause before Vorden spoke again.

"I don't care if he hurt the little one's feelings, it's not like Quinn isn't allowed to talk to other people."

Again, there was a slight pause.

"Look if you get involved and hurt them, I won't forgive you. I won't let something like last time happen again."

The whole time Peter was listening in to the conversation the only voice he could hear was Vorden's but it was clear that he was speaking to someone. Peter couldn't take it anymore and decided to take a peak and as he did still the only person he could see was Vorden.

"Did the other person leave already?" Peter thought.

Just then he saw Vorden start to walk off. The bell had rung indicating that it was the end of their lunch break and it was time to head to afternoon classes. That's when the library doors opened and Quinn and Layla appeared out walking together.

"Quinn!" Peter said as he waved him over.

"I'll meet you at the front gate tonight once classes are over," Quinn said to Layla before leaving to join Peter.

The two of them then started to walk off to class together.

"Hey, are you okay man?" Peter asked. "I was worried about you when you suddenly bolted out of the room like that."

"Yeah sorry man, I couldn't hold it in any longer otherwise my underwear would have turned brown."

"Woah, whoa too much information," Peter said. "Anyway, I'm glad you're okay, look I'm really worried about Vorden. Ever since he came back from that assembly hall, he's been acting strange."

Quinn placed his hand on Peter seeing that he was clearly startled. This whole time Quinn had more important things to worry about but now that he had solved the most pressing matter, he had time to focus on other things.

"Don't worry, we'll find out what's going on together."

When they entered their next class, they could see that Vorden was already in his seat sat down, ready even before them.

"Oh hey guys, how you doing?" Vorden said with a smile.

Peter went to sit in his seat to the right of Vorden while Quinn went to sit in his seat to the left of Vorden.

"Hey, are you feeling better?" Peter asked, "Earlier it seemed like you were kinda sulking."

"Yeah don't worry, I just got kinda thrown around a bit by the second years and it got me pretty down," Vorden replied.

"What happened at the assembly hall?" Quinn asked.

Then Vorden's face slightly changed, it was as if he was trying to hold something back. Vorden clenched his fist for a few seconds and finally relaxed his hand.

"Guy's don't worry about it too much, you know I'm strong and know I can handle myself."

All though Peter was quite satisfied now with Vorden, as he seemed to be his regular self, Quinn noticed that Vorden seemed to be holding something back, all most suppressing something when he asked that question.

As other students started to enter the classroom when they saw Vorden they immediately started to whisper. If Vorden would look back at them they would turn their head as soon as possible.

As the students sat down the talks continued and several different words could be heard. Monster, Freak, weirdo, crazy, and all these words were being aimed at Vorden. It was as if the whole school was sharing a secret that Peter and Quinn weren't allowed to know and not even Vorden himself would say what had happened.

After hearing these words Quinn noticed that Vorden stayed their motionless with his head down, he hadn't even written any notes down in his notebook about the lesson.

Although it seemed like no one would tell him or Peter what had happened, Quinn now had another ally that might be able to help him and that was Layla.

At the end of class, the teacher Dell projected a screen in front of the whole class. There was a list of names each sorted into a different category.

"Please look at this carefully and see where your name is, as tomorrow will be the start fo your combat classes," Del explained.

The list was split up into several different categories each one was different depending on what type of ability you had. Elemental abilities, Transformation abilities, Enhancement abilities, and so on.

That's when Quinn also noticed that his and a few other names were not on the list including Vorden's.

"If your name is not on the list it's because either your Ability doesn't fall into one of the categories or you are an original with a unique ability. You are free to choose to go to whichever class you believe suits you. Students are also able to switch between combat classes if they wish. These are not set in stone but the schools recommendation based on your ability."

The list of available classes was then sent to each student's wristwatch where they were to register for the type of class, they would be interested In.

"I wonder what combat class would be best for me?" Quinn thought as he looked at the long list.

Chapter 25 Testing Blood

After classes had finished for the Day, Vorden had offered to help Peter with his training again. Especially since tomorrow the two of them would be in the same combat classes, the elemental class.

"Hey, do you want to come with us?" Peter asked.

"Nah, I won't bother you guys, I wouldn't be much help anyway," Quinn replied.

Peter was pleased that it seemed like the group had gotten back normal again. There was no tension between the three of them and Peter whished it would stay that way forever.

Just then when Quinn had left, Vorden and Peter were left in the room, that's when Vorden asked Peter a question.

"Hey, have you seen Quinn hanging around with a girl lately?" Vorden asked.

"Come to think of it, I saw him exit with a girl at the library. It was the same one who was at the test with us that day, with the bow and arrow."

After Peter had given an answer, for a split-second, Peter felt like he saw the expression on Vorden's face change. But Quinn blinked and looked again and Vorden seemed to be fine.

"Maybe he's gone and got himself a little girlfriend." Said Vorden laughing.

Quinn had, of course, decided to ditch the other two because he had already made plans to meet up with Layla beforehand. The two of them were to meet at the school gate. But before the two of them were to meet, Quinn decided to stop by the science lab.

Although most lessons in military school were about combat or how to use technology, science was still a core subject. It was because of scientist that the human race had discovered how to use all the different technologies they had in the world today.

So students were encouraged to continue to learn science throughout their service time, in hopes they would continue to in the future.

The classrooms where empty for the day and the important equipment were locked in a storage room.

But Quinn wasn't looking for anything too fancy, all he needed was some test tubes and small corks. After searching around the room for a while he found where they kept the test tubes. He took a total of five test tubes

Even though there were many there, if he took too much it would be suspicious and Quinn couldn't carry more than five without having to worry about them breaking or not.

Quinn shoved the five test tubes into a messenger bag he was carrying and wrapped them up in a spare shirt he took from his room.

Quinn currently had a total of 60/200 Exp until his next level up. 50 experience points had carried over from the last quest and he had received ten exp from his two daily quests.

So far with each level up, he would gain one additional stat point and five points of HP. Although Quinn had gotten stronger through this. It wasn't the fastest way for him to improve his strength.

Quinn realised the system had offered him the chance to gain an additional stat point two times as long as he drank his victim's blood but when he drank Layla's blood, he still gained a stat point. This was what Quinn wanted to test out today.

It was 6 o'clock in the evening and the sun was just starting to set, meaning Quinn wasn't affected by the sun right now. As planned Layla was standing there waiting for him by the gate with her bow on her back.

Students who used weapons would carry it with them around most of the time. There was always the chance of an attack or a beast escaping through a portal.

After the two of them met, they decided to walk to the nearby park that was in between the convenience store and the school. Then they ventured away from the trail into the woods where they were behind cover. No one ventured in these parts and it was hard for them to be seen.

"So are we going to this?" Layla asked excitedly.

Quinn still found it weird that rather than being scared by the whole situation, Layla was exited.

"Alright close your eyes." Said Quinn.

Layla closed her eyes and was ready. She could still remember the satisfying feeling from the last time and couldn't wait to feel it again. Although she was a bit nervous when a thought came to her head that Quinn's lips would be on her neck.

Suddenly though, Layla felt a small prick in her arm.

Layla opened her eyes and noticed that a needle was there.

"What? You didn't think I was just going to bite you, did you?"

Layla's cheeks suddenly went bright red. If it wasn't for the needle in her hand, she would have tried kicking Quinn away.

Once the syringe had been filled up, Quinn squirted it out into one of the test tubes he brought with him.

"Is it okay if I fill another one," Quinn asked.

Layla didn't say anything and held out her arm, she was still a bit embarrassed about what had happened earlier.

Once Quinn had filled up two test tubes, he put one of the blood-filled tubes in his bag while holding the other.

"Inspect."

\u003c Blood of Layla Munrow\u003e

\u003c Blood type A \u003e

Quinn then looked at Layla and used his inspect Skill once again.

\u003cName: Layla Munrow \u003e

\u003c Race: Human \u003e

\u003c Ability: Telekinesis \u003e

\u003c HP 12/12\u003e

\u003c Blood Type A \u003e

It was as Quinn thought. When using the inspect skill on the blood it only showed him what blood type it was and who it was from. Just like the time at the assembly hall. But if the person was in front of him, it would reveal their ability, HP and Blood type.

Some of the blood marks in the hall only reviled question marks. Assuming that Quinn either had to have run into the person before or used the inspect skill on the person once before.

Quinn looked at the test tube and gulped. He then pulled out the cork at the top and start sniffing the blood.

"You're not going to drink it right here are you?" Layla asked.

"Why not, I need to know if it will make any changes."

"I don't know it feels kind of embarrassing, I can't explain."

Quinn ignored Layla and looked at the blood again. The fragrance smelt quite sweet which was different from how he remembered it before. Then suddenly, Quinn lifted the tube and drank the blood in one gulp as if he was taking an alcoholic shot.

As the blood ran down his throat, he felt a warm tingling sensation through his body. The blood was also surprisingly sweet rather than metallic. It seemed like the race change had also changed his taste buds and sense of smell.

\u003c Your HP is already full \u003e

\u003c The blood will have no effect \u003e

\u003c Blood from this person has already been consumed \u003e

\u003c No stat points will be given \u003e

Quinn was surprised to see at the information he had been given. The blood last time seemed to have a healing effect on his body. Judging by the message, if Quinn was injured Layla's blood would allow him to regain HP.

But the second message is what interested him more. The system stated because he had already consumed this blood before, that no stats would be given. This meant that as long as it was the blood of someone he hadn't drunk before, he would be able to get an extra stat point.

Quin smiled at the thought. Of course, this was only a theory of his but Quinn wanted to test it out straight away.

"I guess whatever you wanted to test outworked, judging by your creepy smile and all," Layla said.

"If only there was someone else's blood I could test this on."

Just then the sound of two people entering the woods from the playground was heard. Quinn and Layla immediately ducked down and hid behind a tree.

That's when they saw two students started to walk into the forest.

"Now hand over your credits, otherwise I'll dig you your grave right here and no one will ever find your body." A boy's voice said.

Quinn immediately recognised the voice. It was Rylee. It looked like he still hadn't learnt his lesson and was still up to his old tricks.

Quinn then went into his bag and took out the mask he had bought at the convenience store. Last time he had let Rylee go without taking any of his blood and now he felt like it was such a waste. But this time Quinn wouldn't let Rylee go.

Chapter 26 Blood Types

As Quinn put on his mask, he moved in closer to where Rylee and the student was. Making sure to move in and out between the trees.

"Hey, do you want a beating, pass over the credits now!" Rylee said holding up the student against the tree.

"But I only get ten credits a day, their mine, this isn't fair."

"Since when has this world ever been fair. Blame the people at the top for not looking out for us." Rylee said.

As Quinn herd those words, he realized that Rylee was in the same position as him. He was only a level two user and was just part of the weak bunch being pushed around by those above but that didn't mean he could do it to others.

That would fix nothing.

Layla followed Quinn closely and had taken out her bow and arrow. She knew from last time if Quinn had put on the mask, he was going to act.

"Do you want me to help out, it will be easier with the two of us," Layla asked.

"It's okay there's something I wanted to test out," Quinn said.

The last time the two of them had fought, Quinn was only a level 1. Now he was a level 2 and he had also obtained a new skill which he wanted to test and Rylee was a great test subject.

Quinn started to move closer and closer. He was hoping to finish of Rylee in one shot and this was the perfect chance while his back was turned. Finally, Quinn was just about in striking distance that's when the student held up against the tree spotted Quinn.

"Please help me!" The student cried.

"You idiot!" Quinn shouted as he leapt forward hoping he could be quick enough to hit Rylee before he could activate his ability.

The students warning had given Rylee enough time to activate his ability and turn around. However, Quinn's fist was fast and even though Rylee put out his hands to stop the attack, Quinn's fist still manged to hit Rylee in the stomach.

The impact was just like last time, it was solid and felt like he was punching a wall but the blow managed to still hurt Rylee a bit. The attack was slighter stronger and this time Quinn's fist hadn't broken.

"You, I've been waiting for you," Rylee said as he put two fingers in his mouth and whistled.

Just then two students came running in from the park and into the forest.

"You think you can take on three of us?" Rylee said.

Quinn looked at the two students running towards them and that's when an arrow came flying from the words and hit one of them in the knee causing the student to instantly fall to the ground.

The other students went down to his friend.

"What happened?" the students said. Then he noticed an arrow in the student's leg. "Where did this come from?"

Quinn saw this as an opportunity and dashed away from Rylee and started heading towards the other student.

"The skill said five meters right, well show me what you got!"

As soon as Quinn was within five meters, he activated his skill blood swipe at the same time swinging his hand across. A red line of power came surging out of Quinn's fingertips and hit the student right on his chest causing a claw-like mark but it wasn't enough to knock him out.

"Blood swipe, Blood swipe, Blood swipe."

Quinn then cast three more blood swipes swinging his arm out. Each blow managed to hit the student dead on, with multiple marks across his chest, he had finally collapsed to the floor.

\u003cHP 11/15\u003e

\u003c An opponent has been defeated, 50 exp granted \u003e

\u003c 110/200 exp \u003e

Blood swipe had no cooldown but did use one point of HP per swipe. As long as Quinn had HP he could continuously cast out his blood swipe skill.

Rylee seeing his two teammates who were of equal power level to himself be defeated in an instant, started to feel scared. His body was shaking and all he wanted to do was get out of there. He turned away from his friends and started running deeper into the forest.

Quinn's speed was greater though and was easily able to catch up. When his attack was in range, Quinn cast two more blood swipes aiming for the back of Rylee's ankles. As they hit, Rylee fell to the ground.

"Please, please don't hurt me I'll do anything!" Rylee begged.

"Oh really," Quinn then placed his watch up against Rylee's "hand over all your credits."

"but if I do, I won't have enough credits for Dan, he'll kill me," Rylee said.

"Is now really the time to worry about Dan?" Quinn asked.

Rylee quickly transferred over 50 credits that he had obtained that day over to Quinn.

"So will you let me go now?" Rylee asked.

Quinn smiled at Rylee, although, Rylee couldn't tell due to the mask he was wearing.

"No!" Quinn said, he then went up behind Rylee and held him in a chocking position. Rylee tried activating his hardening skill but Quinn's strength was still strong enough to get through and eventually caused Rylee to pass out.

"That's for pushing me around in the canteen."

Quinn then looked at Rylee's body and noticed that his ankles were bleeding from where he had used the blood swipe skill. Quinn then went to his bag to pull out a test tube and held Rylee's leg up allowing the blood to slowly drip into the test tube, until it filled up. Quinn also filled up a second tube for testing later on.

Next were the other two students. Layla had dealt with the other when she hit with her arrow earlier and the other student had passed out from the multiple attacks of blood swipe.

Quinn then did the same for with the other two students collecting blood from their open wounds and from where Layla's arrow had managed to pierce the student's leg.

After they had finished collecting the blood, it was time for them to get out of there and leave the scene. It was getting late and it was almost curfew time. If the students were out past ten then the guards would go out looking for you. It seemed like not only did the watches act as a credit device and power level indicator but it was a tracker as well.

Students who were found injured outside the school would be taken to the doctor's office. When the two of them arrived at school it was still 9 o'clock, so they had an hour before they needed to head to their dorm rooms.

That's when the two of them had decided to head to the school roof instead. It was quiet up there, and no one was around so the two of them could talk freely.

"So what do you need all the blood for?" Layla asked, "you know if you need some blood you can just take some of mine anytime, I really don't mind."

"Thanks, but I just wanted to test something out."

"Inspect," Quinn had used his inspect skill on each of the containers.

The first was Rylee's blood.

\u003c Blood type B \u003e

"Here goes," Quinn said as he popped the cork open and drank the small tube of blood.

\u003c You have regained 5 points of HP \u003e

\u003c 14/15 HP \u003e

\u003c B Blood type has been absorbed \u003e

\u003c 1 point of Agility has been added \u003e

Quinn couldn't stop smiling as he saw the message. He then went on to drink the second tube of blood. Drinking the blood no longer bothered him once he found out the taste was quite sweet. All Quinn needed to do was convince himself it was some type of juice.

\u003c You have regained 1 point of HP \u003e

\u003c HP 15/15 \u003e

\u003c This person blood has been consumed before, no extra stats will be given\u003e

As Quinn thought, the blood still regained his health, similar to how a potion worked in a game but once a person's blood had been consumed, it would no longer give him any stat points.

Quinn then drank the two other test tubes from the other students.

\u003c Blood type A- has been absorbed \u003e

\u003c 1 strength point has been added \u003e

\u003c Blood type Ab has been absorbed \u003e

\u003c 1 Stamina point has been added \u003e

Quinn looked at messages he received and started to notice a pattern. When he drank Layla's blood which was A he had gained a strength point, it was the same when he drank the A - blood. Rylee whose blood type was B had given him an agility point and lastly, AB had given him a stamina point.

Assuming being positive or negative blood type didn't matter so far. A type had given him strength, B gave him Agility and AB stamina. That left one blood group that Quinn hadn't drunk from yet which was O.

Quinn couldn't help but wonder what would happen if he drank the O type.

Chapter 27 Soul Weapon

After absorbing all the blood tubes apart from the spare one that contained Layla's blood, Quinn was feeling stronger than ever.

\u003c Name: Quinn Talen\u003e

\u003c Race: Half-Ling \u003e

\u003cHP 15/15\u003e

\u003c 110/200 \u003e

\u003c Strength 12 \u003e

\u003c Agility 12 \u003e

\u003c Stamina 11 \u003e

If Quinn's body before was that of a top athlete in the past, then Quinn now surpassed the capabilities of regular human power. But he was still weak compared to those with an ability. Lucky for Quinn, it seemed like Rylee and the other two students weren't very good fighters.

In Quinn's old school, he would get into fights all the time regardless of what ability they had. He saw how the others got bullied more than him, while the bullying for him lessened because they knew he was a target that would bite back.

But because of this, Quinn managed to get a good grasp on how people fought and a good grasp on different abilities. If Quinn was to face a level two user who was good with their ability like Layla, at this point it was still most likely he would lose.

What Quinn needed more than ever was more skills he could use. Blood swipe was great but it only had a distance of five meters and it took away his health. With other abilities, you would be able to obtain new skills by purchasing books or being taught by someone who already knew the skill.

Quinn didn't have this option as there was no one who he knew that had the same ability as him and that, of course, meant there were no skill books either.

Before Layla and Quinn split ways to head back to their dorm rooms, Quinn had one last request.

"Do you know about what happened to Vorden?" Quinn asked.

"Oh your blonde friend," Layla replied, "Honestly I don't know too much cause when everything happened I was stuck in the hospital bed because of someone." Layla pointed at Quinn.

Quinn laughed nervously.

"Well, do you mind finding out for me, it seems like the second years are behind this and are stopping me and Peter from getting any information."

"The second years are involved in this? Well, that's not good you're not planning to get involved, are you?" Layla asked concerned.

Quinn thought back to when the second years had called Quinn, Peter and Vorden out. That Momo person had warned them not to disturb the system within the school.

Quinn wanted to punch his face in but at the time he couldn't. But now with this ability, he could grow stronger, without the need of help or relying on others and he couldn't wait for the day he could punch that Momo's smug face in.

"Yeah but I need to get stronger of course"

There was one big difference between the second years and first years and that was something called awakening. The second years had learnt how to awaken their ability. This allowed the user regardless of the power level to get a power boost for a short period of time.

Once a user had awakened, they then also could form something called their soul weapon. A powerful weapon unique to each user that was formed in the body itself. This was different from a beast weapon as a beast weapon could be used by anyone.

After finishing everything he needed to do with Layla, the two of them split up and Quinn said he would contact Layla via his watch when he needed her.

Quinn also kept the test tube containing Layla's blood on him. What he needed to do now was figure out how long his body could go without needing blood. If Quinn was to go out on a mission or through a portal to another planet. There might be times where Quinn wouldn't be able to contact someone for a while.

In these situations, he needed to know how many Test tubes of blood to take with him. So, for now, Quinn would do his best to avoid blood until the system message appeared again. If he fought anyone along the way he could keep their blood for after. He didn't want to waste any precious stat points after all.

Quinn headed back to his dorm room where Vorden and Peter where still practising their Earth abilities.

"I did it, I finally did it!" Peter shouted.

Peter held a small round solid lump of mud in his hand. As he moved his hands, he was able to change the shape of the mud. He turned it from a ball into a long staff. Then back into a ball again.

"The only problem is as a level one user, you will need to keep some type of mud on you at all times," Vorden explained. "Perhaps it's best you keep it as a round staff and carry it around with you, then you will always have something to take with you."

Vorden then grabbed the mud and started to demonstrate, He did the same thing as Peter and started to change the Mudball into different shapes. But the difference between speeds was noticeable. While Peter took a long time to form the shape he wanted. Vorden was changing the mud in seconds.

"Wow is this cause you're a level five user Vorden?" Peter asked.

"No this is something you should be able to do as well, it just takes practise. When I copy someone's ability, I also copy whatever power level it is at. So everything I can do with this mud you should be able to as well."

Vorden then turned the Mudball into a sharp dagger and placed it up against Peter's neck.

"See, not so useless after all."

Peter gulped as he looked down at the sword but then realised that Vorden had already changed the balls shape into a harmless stick and handed it back to Peter.

"Oh, Quinn your back," Vorden said smiling. "Did you have fun?"

"Yeah, a little bit," Quinn said.

"Vorden here said you got a girlfriend." Peter quickly added.

"What!?" Quinn said.

"You know that girl that was with us at the testing that time."

"Oh her, no we're just…" Quinn started to think about what his relationship with Layla was. He wouldn't exactly call them friends and they defiantly weren't lovers. Layla did almost everything Quinn asked without answers. It was almost a master and servant relationship but If Quinn said that they would defiantly get the wrong idea.

"Were just acquaintances, I was talking about how she got to use her weapon and discussing what classes to take since I won't be going to the elemental class with you two."

"Oh, so you finally decided then?" Peter asked.

"Yeah, I'm going to join the beast weapons class."

Chapter 28 Weapons hall

When the next morning had arrived, Quinn made sure to pack some things with him in his bag. He put in the blood tube that contained Layla's blood. The four remaining empty tubes and also the mask that he had bought at the convenience store.

He never knew when a situation would come up when he had to use these things, so it was better to be prepared than unprepared. The three boys headed down for breakfast as a group as usual and like always people would give Quinn, Vorden and Peter looks.

Vorden decided to split form Quinn and Peter and sat on his own on the higher power level tables. But even then, no one seemed to be sitting next to Vorden. It was clear for some reason the second-year students where making Vorden a target, even though he was no longer hanging out with Quinn and Peter.

"Do me a favour will you?" Quinn asked, "Keep an eye on Vorden while you're in your combat classes today. If anything happens let me know."

"But if something happens, I won't be strong enough to help, and you can't exactly do anything either," Peter replied.

Peter was right Quinn right now could barely deal with the level 2 first-year students never mind the second-year students. But at the same time, Quinn hated the fact that they might be targeting Vorden just because he chose to hang out with them.

Perhaps Quinn could find a weak one in the group and target him at night for questioning. These groups always had a weak person acting as a shuttle for them. Asking them to carry their things, grab their food for them etc.

"I'm not telling you to get involved, I don't think Vorden is expecting you to help him out either but just to let me know what you see."

Peter then gave a quick look around the room to make sure no one was hearing the two of them before giving a nod.

Finally, after finishing their breakfast it was time for their combat classes. After registering what type of class you wanted to attend via the watch. It would then indicate what room you would be in for training that Day.

Quinn had chosen the beast weapons class after thinking long and hard. Quinn was known as a no ability user so it was really the only option for him. Otherwise, he would have to just sit back at the back of the other classes and do nothing.

The weapon class was popular among those that had an ability that was able to enhance it. Those who could slightly see the future, or had a telekinesis ability like Layla would attend these classes. But Quinn wanted to find a weapon that would suit him and his fighting style.

The weapons hall was away from the main school building and off to the side in its own separate building. It was a single large one-room building that had an Asian palace feeling to it. To enter the building students needed to scan their watch into the scanner and then the two large doors would slide open.

Although the outside of the building had an eastern feeling to it. The inside was completely different. It was a large room where the ceiling was about twenty meters high. The room had no decorations apart from mountains and mountain of weapons hung up on the wall and in the centre of the room was a round raised platform.

Standing at the back of the hall was a bald-headed man wearing leather armour and had a long katana blade by his side. But the katana blade hilt was jagged and rough and the back of the blade the same. It looked like it had been forged from an animal that was not of this planet.

The man remained silent at the back with his eyes closed. Quinn could only assume the man was their teacher, being the oldest one in the room.

The room slowly started to fill up with students and that's when Layla had entered and spotted Quinn. She immediately came over to him and started chatting. Unlike when Vorden had spoken to Quinn, the other students didn't really pay attention because Layla herself was also considered weak.

"This class is a lot more popular than I thought," Layla said.

The room was filled with about thirty students inside. The other classes had around fifty but it was still more than they had expected.

"Yeah, I wonder what weapon I should pick," Quinn said staring at the wall.

"Well, I already have mine," Layla said pointing to her bow on her back.

A lot of the student in the room already had weapons of their own. Quinn and a couple of others were the only ones who didn't have anything on them. Just then while Quinn was busy staring at the wall, the other students started to get rowdy as someone entered the weapons hall.

"What is she doing here?"

"Isn't she an elemental user, why would she be here."

"Who cares, maybe we can spare with her and if we beat her we can ask her on a date."

As Quinn turned around to see who the girl was everyone was talking about, it turns out he had already met her before. It was Erin Heley the ice ability user.

"I wonder why she decided to go to this class instead of the elemental class?" Layla asked.

Just then the bald-headed man opened his eyes and shouted at the top of his voice.

"ATTENTION!"

Everyone froze and turned to look at the old man.

"My name is Leo and I will be your teacher for today." Leo then pulled out his katana blade from his sheath and pointed it out in front of him. "Your first task will be to pick your weapon, you must think carefully. Your weapon is your lifeline. When your ability won't work the only thing you can rely on is your own skills. Now go and Chose one from the wall around you."

The students fanned out and started to look at weapons. Even those who had beast weapons already were trying out new ones.

Quinn looked at the wall and saw all sorts of things, axe's, short swords, Spiked clubs, whips, Scythes there was so much to choose from Quinn was really having a hard time.

Quinn looked at Layla and her bow. It matched up well with her telekinesis ability. If Quinn was to pick a ranged weapon, he would never be able to be as good as Layla. He needed something that suited him right now and his ability.

Quinn then walked up to one of the random swords on the wall and used his inspect skill.

\u003c Korge Sword \u003e

\u003c Tier Basic Beast weapon \u003e

\u003c Strength 3

\u003c Agilty – 2\u003e

\u003c the sword in incompatible with the skill "Blood swipe"\u003e

The sword Quinn looked at was large in size and looked heavy. Quin needed to be fast so losing some points in agility was a definite no-no. But what surprised him was how much information his inspect skill had given him. It even told him if his blood swipe could be used with it.

Maybe it wouldn't be so hard picking out a weapon after all thanks to Quinn's inspect skill.

Chapter 29 Picking a weapon

As soon as Quinn realised that his inspect skill would tell him the stats of each weapon, he started to go around the room looking for the perfect one for him. Quinn ruled out anything that was too heavy. Although the strength stat it added was good, Quinn needed to be fast and agile in the night.

All the weapons Quinn had inspected so far was at the basic tier level. The lowest level a weapon could be. Weapons were categorised into eight different levels depending on which beast core it was made with. Of course, this was based on beasts from planets that had already been discovered.

There was sure to be other planets with stronger beasts and abilities that they had yet to find out about, that may be categorised above that. In the human world today, there were two known weapons of this class. The world called them Demon weapons instead.

After searching around the room for a while, Quinn came across a weapon that stood out from the rest.

\u003c Black Horned gauntlets \u003e

\u003c Basic tier Beast weapon\u003e

\u003cStrength 3\u003e

\u003cAgility 0 \u003e

\u003cStamina 0\u003e

\u003cDefence 2\u003e

\u003c This weapon is compatible with the skill "Blood swipe". When used with the gauntlets blood swipe will have an increase of 5% in power.\u003e

The Gauntlets were black in colour and had little tiny horns going up the forearm. The fingertips where were pointed and bladed at the ends, it made them look almost like some type of Dragon claw.

There were two reasons why the weapon had interested Quinn. The first was it was the only one that had also given him a defensive stat, not just a strength stat but the second one stood out to him even more. It was the fact that it increases the power of his only skill, blood swipe.

Five percent didn't sound like a lot right now but if in the future Quinn was to get more powerful, five percent would make a huge difference. There were also other bonuses. The gauntlets acted as armour for his hands and he could still hold other weapons if he needed to.

"What a strange choice young boy," Leo said.

Quinn looked to his side to see who had spoken to him, then he noticed it was the bald teacher.

"It's not many peoples first choice. With a weapon like this, you have to have no fear and get in close to your enemy. But that is also the reason it is sturdy than most and can be used as a form of defence."

Quinn had already experienced fighting more than most kids, he was used to using his fists, with his blood swipe skill as well, he didn't always have to get up right close to his opponent.

"Do you mind if I try it?" Quinn asked.

"Go ahead," Leo said as he left to check up on other students selecting weapons.

\u003c Basic Horned Gauntlets equipped\u003e

\u003cStrength: 12 (3) \u003e

\u003c Agility: 12 \u003e

\u003c Stamina: 11 \u003e

\u003c Defence (2)\u003e

Now when Quinn checked out his status screen, he had a smaller number next to his stats which would indicate the equipment level. Quinn now had 15 stat points in strength. He felt three times stronger compared to before he had discovered the system and was ready to test out his newfound strength.

Once everyone had finished picking out their weapon. Leo called everyone to gather around the centre ring.

"Now I won't claim to be an expert in every weapon," Said Leo, "Some of you might even be able to use your weapons better than me. But what I am an expert in is fighting with weapons alone. Fighting can be considered a game. You are always trying to predict your opponent's next move, you measure your opponent's ability and so on. For your first lesson, I want to see what you've got. We will have a sparring match. Two people at a time. We will all watch the match and commentate on what could be improved on. Now, are there any volunteers.

In an instant, Erin was the first to put her hand up. Without even waiting for Leo to say anything she headed for the arena in the middle and stood inside. She held a single silver longsword that shined bright. It wasn't one of the weapons that Quinn had seen on the wall so he could only assume it had been one she already owned.

At first, a lot of the students were hesitant of going up against Erin. Her reputation for being a high-power level had already reached many peoples ears.

"Oh, I also forgot to add, Abilities will be banned during today's sparing sessions," Leo added. "It is important that you know how to use your weapon first, only then can you truly bring out the full potential of the weapon with your ability."

After saying those words. Students had raised their hands like a rocket. They all wanted to get the chance to beat the famous Ice queen. Now that she wasn't able to use her abilities this was their chance.

In the end, A large man was selected from the crowd who wielded a two-handed axe. He was about double the size of Erin in terms of muscle.

"I think you chose to join the wrong club, your ice abilities will be useless here." The man said.

Erin didn't reply though and simply took her stance. Waiting for her opponent to come forward first.

The man charged in wielding his large axe above his head. When he swung it down Erin spun her body to the side avoiding the blow and at the same time slashed at the back of the man's legs causing him to stumble.

She then placed her blade towards the man's neck. Inches away from his throat.

"I give up." The man said.

Everything had happened in an instant and the room was suddenly silenced. They all knew Erin was strong but it was unexpected of her to be so skilful with the blade. Most ability users, if they had a strong ability like Erin, would rely on that power and not bother learning a weapon. But it was clear to everyone she had some practice.

After the fight had finished, two men seemed to appear out of thin air wearing a black military uniform. They then grabbed the student by both arms and escorted him to the school doctor to get healed up.

The group continued to watch a few fights, the rest of the fights had lasted a lot longer than Erin's, as most of the students were equally matched when it came to using weapons. Even when Level 4 power users were fighting against level 2. When They couldn't use their abilities it all came down to skill and the body.

The next fight that had caught Leo's attention, was the fight with Layla. Even though Layla could no longer use her telekinesis. With her bow, she was able to shot ahead and predict where her opponent would turn.

She had trapped her opponent multiple times and continuously asked him to give up. But her opponent was a level 3 power user and he had his pride on the line. He didn't want to admit being defeated by a level two user even if he wasn't using his ability.

That's when he got reckless and decided to charge forward. But a few arrows in the boy's legs stopped him dead in his tracks before Leo had decided to call the match himself.

"The next pair, Quinn Talen, and Brad Richardson to the arena."

Now it was Quinn's turn.

With the Weapons hall being indoors Quinn was able to use his full stats and his opponent was unable to use his ability. Finally, for once Quinn was in a situation where he didn't feel weaker than the person he was going up against.

Chapter 30 Too Strong?

As Quinn walked up to the stage he noticed that Brandon, his opponent's indicator showed that he was at the power level of three. If this was a fight in the outside world, where they both could use their abilities Quinn felt like he didn't have much chance of winning.

But here in the arena, where abilities weren't allowed. Quinn had a body stronger than most, his speed was faster than most. In the Novels he had read, a Vampires strength was far greater than the human race before the introduction of abilities. If they wanted to, they could have ruled the world.

Brandon held a large spear in hand which had great reach. The end was sharp with a single curved blade at the end.

\u003c Opponent power level 3\u003e

\u003c Bonus exp will be rewarded \u003e

It seemed like Quinn's day was only getting better.

"Begin!" Leo shouted.

Brandon immediately charged in with his spear, while Quinn stood there and took a fighting stance with both of his hands held out in front of him. When Brandon was within striking distance, he thrust his spear forward. It was fast and impressive to the people watching outside.

But to Quinn who had 12 points in agility, it was easy for him to dodge. He avoided the spear strike and ducked down, then before Brandon could pull the spear back Quinn went and grabbed the spear with his hand.

"What the hell!" Brandon said as he tried pulling the spear back. "Let go!"

While holding the spear with one hand, Quinn opened up his other hand and swung out his fist like a claw as hard as he could at the spear. Then a few moments later the spear had been sliced in half.

"What the, my weapon, it's faulty!" Brandon complained but Leo did nothing to step in.

Quinn rushed forward and before Brandon could do anything, Quinn punched him hard in the stomach. Brandon's feet lifted off the ground and it looked like his body was about to fly away.

"Inspect"

\u003cBrandon Richardson\u003e

\u003c Ability: Elemental \u003e

\u003c HP 5/15 \u003e

\u003c Blood type 0 \u003e

Quinn knew that if Brandon was to fly out of the arena it would be considered his win but the system wouldn't allow him to win like that, he needed to beat his opponent down to at least one HP. So before Brandon could be lifted into the air, Quinn grabbed him and pulled him back down and at the same time kneed him in the face causing Brandon's nose to bleed and his head to be sent backwords.

And finally, Brandon collapsed lying there on the ground.

"Winner, Quinn Talen." Leo said.

\u003c Opponent has been defeated 50 exp rewarded \u003e

\u003c First time higher power level bonus 50 Exp Rewarded \u003e

\u003c 220/200 Exp \u003e

\u003c Congratulations you are now Level 3\u003e

\u003c 20/400 Exp \u003e

\u003c 1 Attribute point awarded \u003e

\u003c New Skill "Blood Bank" Unlocked\u003e

After defeating Brandon, Quinn had received multiple messages and had even levelled up. The bonus reward for defeating a level 3 user was higher than when he defeated a level 2 user. However, it was a shame that the bonus reward was only a one-time thing.

With the messages, there was also a new skill that had been unlocked. Although Quinn didn't have the time to look at it now, he needed to get off the stage and look at it later. Before leaving Quinn looked at Brandon who was lying on the floor. Blood was dripping from his nose and Quinn just had one thought.

"What a waste."

It was a shame Quinn wasn't able to store or drink Brandon's blood. After all, everyone was watching, but if he did he would have learnt what the O type blood did as well.

The two military men again appeared out of thin air and took Brandon away to the doctor's office but before Quinn could leave the arena a couple of boys shouted from the crowd.

"That's not fair." A boy said, "Brandon obviously was using a faulty weapon."

"Yeah, and what was with that anyway, that idiot decided to still attack him anyway after seeing his weapon break, he should be punished." Another boy added.

These two were friends of Brandon. One was a level 2.5 user named Fei while the other was a level 3 user named Loop.

Leo then stepped up onto the stage and picked up the broken spear of from the ground and started to inspect it.

"I can guarantee you that all the weapons in this hall are not faulty. Each one has been given the same care as the next."

"Then how can you explain the weapon breaking. "Fei said, "Unless, it has to be it, he cheated and used an ability."

As soon as acquisitions were made, the crowd started mumbling to each other. They could see Quinn's power level but not many knew about Quinn having no ability. Perhaps he had an ability that simply enhanced his strength the students thought.

"Settle down everyone I can guarantee that no abilities were used," Leo said.

"How can you be so sure?" Fei argued.

Then an unexpected person had chimed in and interrupted their conversation.

"You fool, will you stop being so disrespectful to the teacher." Erin said, "Do you not know who he Is, Perhaps if I told you his war name you would know. This man is General Leo, or known as the Blind swordsman."

The chatting between the students had gotten even louder. The name Blind swordsman was known well between common folk. He had helped out a great deal when fighting against the Dalki.

"He's blind?" Loop said unsure whether it was true or not. "Doesn't that mean he definitely couldn't tell if the person used an ability or not."

In that instant, Leo threw a piece of the broken spear in the direction of Loop. The spear just missed Loop and had hit the back wall.

Loop then started to feel a sharp stinging pain on his cheek, as he touched his cheek he noticed a scratch mark.

"I can see, and hear very well. Better than most of you. My ability allows me to see the Aura of people and when people start to use their ability, their aura's change depending on what ability they are using. And I'm telling you now, Quinn didn't use a single ability."

With that, the students startled to settle down a bit. It was a memorable first day for all the students in the weapon club so much had happened. But the class was finally over and it was time for them to head home.

Leo, however, couldn't stop thinking about the student known as Quinn. He inspected the spear again and again and found nothing out of the ordinary. However, what Leo didn't reveal was form the very beginning when Quinn had stepped into the room, he could see his aura was slightly different from everyone else's.

It wasn't the same as when someone used an ability though, it reminded him of an aura of that of the beasts or the Dalki had, one that wasn't human.

"Pull up the file on Quinn Talen for me."

"File found." Leo's watch replied.

"Ability?"

"No ability, power level 1." The watch said again.

"Hmm, just what are you hiding Quinn?"

Chapter 31 Blood Bank

Once the class had ended, Quinn had to give back the Gauntlets and leave them in the weapons hall. After all, they didn't belong to him and was only there for the purpose of him getting used to using a weapon.

Once Quinn went on his first portal outing, then he would be able to hunt for a suitable beast to make a weapon of his own. At that time, he would also be allowed to borrow the equipment.

As Quinn was heading back to his dorm room, he decided to first put his stat point into something. So he opened up his status screen to see if there were any changes.

\u003cHP 20/20 \u003e

\u003cStrength 12\u003e

\u003c Agility 12 \u003e

\u003c stamina 12 \u003e

(All stats are currently halved due to being hit by the direct sunlight)

The system seemed to be consistent with the last time he had levelled up. Although there was no evolution process this time, he still gained five points of HP and one stat point. There was one thing that bothered Quinn and it was the fact that his stat points were halved in sunlight.

There would come a time were Quinn would need to be at full strength even in the sun. When reading about vampires in novels, he was thankful that he was able to be in the sun at all, as some of them burnt to a crisp in an instant.

Quinn decided to stick with his plan and add the stat point to agility, as long as he could hit his opponents without being hit back, he couldn't see himself losing and worst case if he couldn't hurt his opponent, he could always run away. It was also handy if he planned to use the clawed gauntlets as his choice of weapon. He would need to be fast to get in close and use hand to hand combat skills.

\u003c Agility 13 \u003e

The next thing Quinn wanted to check out was the new skill he had obtained from levelling up.

\u003c Skill: Blood Bank Lv.1\u003e

\u003c The skill "blood Bank" will allow you to store up to a 100 milters of blood in your reserve. The blood bank will automatically be used to heal the user if HP drops below 5. Every 10 millilitres of blood will be used to restore 5 HP of the user. User may also use the blood bank to consume blood at any time for his own personal pleasure. \u003e

Quinn looked at the skill in disbelief. It seemed like the skill was too good to be true. Essentially the blood bank acted as a second life for Quinn. As long as his blood bank was fully stocked up, Quinn was able to restore up to 50 points of HP.

Not only that but it had also solved Quinn's storage problem. Although Quinn had used test tube and cork to stop the blood from oxidising, it still wouldn't delay the process of it being spoilt for long. At most Quinn would be able to keep the blood fresh for 8 hours without keeping in some special type of storage.

Sure he had Layla he could rely on, but Layla wouldn't always be by his side. Quinn then took out the test tube of Layla's blood and used his inspect skill. It seemed like the blood was still fine to be used for now.

\u003cSkill Blood bank\u003e

The blood then started to shine bright in Quinns hand and suddenly vanished from the test tube.

\u003cBlood bank 10/100\u003e

\u003cYour hunger grows\u003e

Quinn has happy that the Blood bank skill was convenient and finally after waiting for a while he had received a message he had seen once before.

Last time he had seen the message about his hunger the next day the system told him he needed to consume blood otherwise his HP would drop. With his Blood bank skill though, he wouldn't have to worry about it as long as he kept it topped up.

After checking out all the information, Quinn had finally arrived back at his dorm room to see Peter and Vorden a little roughed up.

"Wow, what happened to you two?" Quinn asked, "Was it the second years again?"

"No, no need to worry, this was just during our combat classes, the teacher made us do a sparing session on our first day."

"Were there any problems?"

"Not really, I was humiliated and lost my fight, of course, I still can't control my ability well enough. I think I was too nervous. When I brought out the stick of mud on my back the other students started laughing and I got distracted." Peter explained. "But Vorden, on the other hand, was so cool, he told those kids to shut up and asked them to fight him next. Then with the same ability as mine, he managed to defeat a level 3 user!"

"Oh shut up!" Vorden said as he punched Peter on the shoulder. "You're embarrassing me."

"But it's true. You were so cool back then."

The three of them continued to share stories about what had happened in their combat classes. Quinn had even talked about his victory against Brandon. At first, they were surprised but when Quinn explained that the use of abilities was banned, they understood.

The three of them were exhausted from their first day of combat classes and decided to get some rest. The next day when Quinn woke up he was greeted with another message.

\u003c Daily quest complete 5 exp has been rewarded\u003e

\u003c25/400 Exp\u003e

\u003cYour hunger grows\u003e

\u003cYour HP will now drop by – 1HP every hour until human blood has been consumed\u003e

The message had appeared roughly two days after he had last consumed blood. Meaning this was the time frame before he would need to consume blood again.

\u003cSkill Blood bank\u003e

\u003c 10 millilitres of blood will be consumed, would you like to proceed?\u003e

\u003cYes\u003e

After selecting the yes option, a sweet fragrance entered his mouth, the hole he could feel in his stomach had disappeared and once again he was satisfied and back to normal. Now all he needed to do was meet up with Layla and fill up his blood bank to the max.

For the next week, combat class was a normal requirement for students. This would be the case until the teachers were satisfied to take the students on their first outing through the portals to hunt beasts.

After the students picked their weapons from the wall, once again Leo stood at the front to give the students further instructions.

"Today's lesson will be sparring once again, but this time you will pick your own opponents. You will fight with them for a minute each before switching to the next opponent. On the battlefield, there will be all types of different opponents that use different weapons and abilities. It is important for you to get used to as many of these as possible."

The students then immediately got into pairings and Layla had run up to Quinn as soon as possible.

"Don't worry Quinn, I'll let you win the first one." She said with a wink.

But just then, Leo had walked towards the two of them.

"I'm sorry about this young lady but I'm going to have to ask you to sit out of this one," Leo said.

Layla then took a step back.

Leo then pulled out his katana blade and pointed it at Quinn.

"Show me what you got boy and don't hold back."

Chapter 32 A lesson

Without Quinn realising it himself, the rest of the students weren't really paying attention to their own matches. They were all looking towards Leo and Quinn. They wanted to see how the so-called blind swordsman fought.

But in the room, three people, in particular, were paying attention to Quinn.

"Look at him, he cheats in my match and now he's getting special treatment," Brandon complained.

"Didn't Leo say he didn't use any ability?" Loop asked.

"Don't be a fool of course he did, he managed to break a beast weapon, have you ever heard of that?" Brandon complained, "Maybe if he had a higher tier weapon but all the weapons in this room are of the same tier.

"Yeah, I agree." Fei added, "The weakling must have never won a fight in his life before and then when he saw the opportunity, he just had to do it."

Before the sparring match started, Quinn decided to use his inspect skill, but for the first time ever, not a single bit of information had come up.

"Does this mean he's too powerful, maybe when the skill levels up I might be able to see something?" Quinn thought.

Just then though, a new message from the system has appeared.

\u003c A strong opponent has appeared \u003e

\u003c Defeat the opponent for an Instant level-up reward \u003e

Suddenly, Quinn's blood started to rush through his body with excitement, he wasn't going to go easy on Leo in the first place, but if the match proved too easy then he was going to ease up a little to not raise suspicion. But with a reward like this, Quinn would figure out an explanation later.

Every time Quinn levelled up the Exp requirement seemed to double. Making it harder and harder for him to level up.

"What's wrong?" Leo asked.

"Oh, nothing sorry," Quinn said as he got into a fighting stance.

"Alright students, the minute starts, NOW!" Leo shouted.

In an instant, the sound of weapons clashing around the room could be heard but the ones closer to Leo and Quinn decided to take it easy so they could watch the fight and that included Brandon's group.

As soon as the fight started Leo dashed forward with a strike but it wasn't at a speed Quinn couldn't handle. He blocked the first blow knocking it away. However, straight after another attack appeared but Quinn managed to block that as well.

"A bit sloppy and rough but your reflexes are good." Leo said, "Now let's take it up another level."

Before Quinn could catch his breath, Leo attacked again with his blade but this time even faster than the attacks before. But thanks to Quinn's agility points he was still able to keep up.

"Ha, ha, I can't believe I'm actually having fun against a student," Leo said laughing.

And once again the attack's coming from Leo sped up again. This time it looked like Quinn was getting knocked around like a rag doll. All the student's watching from outside thought Leo was playing with him but Leo was truly impressed. Although Quinn looked silly, Quinn was still able to block each and every one of his attack with the Gauntlets.

"Now try this!" Leo shouted.

The attack from Leo's katana blade came from underneath, Quinn held out both his hands to block the attack but suddenly it looked like the blade had disappeared and phased through his hands. Before Quinn knew it, the blade was right underneath his chin.

"BEEP, BEEP, BEEP."

"Oh, looks like our time is up." Leo said, "About level 14 or 13 maybe, that's pretty good for a first-year student."

Quinn was in admiration for the weapons teacher. At first, he didn't have a lot of respect for the teachers at the school. They would usually just dominate over the students and tell them to toughen up and get stronger but Quinn felt like Leo was different.

Quinn could now tell that Leo was able to beat him in a fight anytime he wanted, Leo was just testing him to see how strong he was. What Quinn also learnt during that fight was just getting stronger and faster wasn't good enough, he needed to learn how to fight properly.

"Please, would you be able to teach me how to fight?" Quinn asked as he bowed down.

"Unfortunately, the weapon you have chosen I do not specialise in myself. Although I do think it suits your fighting style, it seems like you have had some experience in hand to hand combat." Leo explained. "There is one thing I can suggest to you, there's a popular VR fighting game that the military students from all the other schools play, the first thing you will need to do is get experience. Although the use of abilities in the game is not prohibited, so you might have a hard time but still, I think it will be a good experience for you."

"Thank you so much," Quinn said as he bowed down again.

"Oh, and before I forget, it was the first time I have had fun like that in a while, as a prize feel free to keep the gauntlets. When you get better in the future come and challenge me any time, I will be happy to fight you again." Leo said as he walked off back to the centre of the weapons hall.

After watching the fight, many of the students were quite disappointed. After seeing Quinn fight well against Brandon, they were hoping he would be able to do something against Leo but to them, all it looked like was Leo toying with Quinn and throwing him around like a rag doll.

Brandon then had come up with a brilliant idea and started to whisper into his friend's Fei's ear.

"Alright students, it is time to get into your next paring," Leo shouted.

Just then before Layla could get up and ask Quinn for a match, Brandon had gotten up in front of her.

"Do you mind if us two have a round?" Brandon asked

Layla kissed at her teeth and scorned but she didn't exactly have a good reason to say no. After all, it would only be a minute.

Then another student, Brandon's friend Fei had gone and approached Quinn.

"Please I would like to be your next opponent," Fei asked as he drew out his two short swords.

"I don't see why not," Quinn said.

Quinn didn't mind too much. So far, every new opponent he faced as long as he defeated them, would grant him 50 Exp and this was the best chance he had right now, in the weapons hall where people weren't allowed to use their abilities.

"And Please, Begin!" Leo shouted.

Fei seemed to have some experience using the duel swords. His flow was natural and he was able to follow his attacks up well from one to the next but after fighting with Leo, the attacks just seemed slow. Quinn was able to see the path of each strike.

But just like Leo had said the most important thing for Quinn was the experience, so rather than relying on his supernatural strength and end the fight in an instant. Quinn decided he wanted to fight a little longer.

Meanwhile, in Layla and Brandon's match, Brandon didn't seem to be doing much at all. He didn't charge in and he didn't attack, all he did was avoid Layla's arrows. It was as if his mind was focused on something else.

That's when a noise was heard. Fei was charging in at Quinn and did some sought of little battle cry. That was the signal for Brandon to act.

Brandon then lifted his hand and at the right time, cast his wind blast right behind at Quinn's back.

Quinn saw Fei's blades and was ready to block but that's when he felt a strong force push him from behind. It knocked him off balance and at the same time, Fei's blades went right into Quinn's stomach.

\u003c10/20 HP\u003e

"You… Bastar…." Quinn Groaned.
