This is a promotional episode. Quinn defeats Riley using his
new skill Blood Swipe, but has this put his secret at risk?
Will Vorden uncover the truth about Quinn and Leila's
mysterious relationship? Can Quinn overcome the odds and
(00:20):
defeat Brandon, a Level 3 student?
Riley tried activating his hardening skill, but Quinn's
strength was still strong enoughto get through and eventually
caused Riley to pass out. That's for pushing me around in
the canteen. Quinn then went to his bag to
(00:41):
pull out a test tube and held Riley's leg up, allowing the
blood to slowly drip into the test tube until it filled up.
Quinn then did the same for withthe other two students,
collecting blood from their openwounds.
After they had finished collecting the blood, it was
time for them to get out of there and leave the scene.
Students who were found injured outside the school would be
taken to the doctor's office. When the two of them arrived at
(01:04):
the school, it was still 9:00, so they had an hour before they
needed to head to their dorm rooms.
So what do you need all the blood for?
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 Riley's blood,
(01:25):
blood type B positive. Here goes.
Quinn said as he popped the corkopen and drank the small tube of
blood. You have regained five points of
HP, 14 of 15 HPB positive blood type has been absorbed, plus one
point of agility has been added.Drinking the blood no longer
bothered him once he found out the taste was quite sweet.
(01:46):
All Quinn needed to do was convince himself it was some
type of juice. You have regained one point of
HPHP 15 of 15. This person blood has been
consumed before. No extra stats will be given 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.
(02:08):
Quinn then drank the two other test tubes from the other
students Blood type. A negative has been absorbed
plus one strength point has beenadded.
Blood type AB positive has been absorbed plus one stamina point
has been added. Assuming being positive or
negative, blood type didn't matter so far.
A type had given him strength, Bgave him agility and AB stamina.
(02:29):
Quinn couldn't help but wonder what would happen if he drank
the O type. 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.
(02:49):
Quinn didn't have this option asthere 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.
What do you know about what happened to Vorden?
Honestly, I don't know too much because when everything
happened, I was stuck in the hospital bed because of someone.
(03:12):
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 inthis?
Well, that's not good. You're not planning to get
involved, are you? That Momo person had warned them
not to disturb the system withinthe school, but now with this
ability, he could grow stronger without the need of help or
(03:33):
relying on others, and he couldn't wait for the day he
could punch that Momo 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 learned howto awaken their ability.
This allowed the user, regardless of the power level,
to get a power boost for a shortperiod of time.
(03:56):
Once a user had awakened, they then could also form something
called their Soul Weapon, a powerful weapon unique to each
user that was formed in the bodyitself.
This was different from a beast weapon, as a beast weapon could
be used by anyone. Quinn headed back to his dorm
room where Vorden and Peter werestill practicing their earth
abilities. I did it, I finally did it.
(04:17):
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 1 user, you'll need to keep some
type of mud on you at all times.Vorden explained.
Perhaps it's best you keep it asa round staff and carry it
(04:38):
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 mud ball 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
(04:59):
level 5 user, Vorden? No, this is something you should
be able to do as well. It just takes practice.
When I copy someone's ability, Ialso copy whatever power level
it is at, so everything I can dowith this mud you should be able
to do as well. Vorden then turned the mud ball
into a sharp dagger and placed it up against Peter's neck.
See, not so useless after all. Peter gulped as he looked down
(05:22):
at the sword, but then realized that Vorden had already changed
the ball's shape into a harmlessstick and handed it back to
Peter. Oh, Quinn, you're 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, Quinn started to
(05:44):
think about what his relationship with Layla was.
Layla did almost everything. Quinn asked without answers.
It was almost a master and servant relationship.
But if Quinn said that, they would definitely get the wrong
idea. We're just acquaintances.
I was talking about how she got to use her weapon and discussing
what classes to take. I'm going to join the Beast
weapons class. Finally after finishing their
(06:05):
breakfast it was time for their combat classes.
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.
(06:27):
Those who could slightly see thefuture or had telekinesis
ability like Layla would attend these classes, but Quinn wanted
to find a weapon that would suithim and his fighting style.
Standing at the back of the hallwas a bald headed man wearing
leather armor and had a long Cortana blade by his side, but
the Cortana blade hilt was jagged and rough and the back of
(06:47):
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 whenLayla had entered and spotted
Quinn. She immediately came over to him
(07:08):
and started chatting. Unlike when Vorden had spoken to
Quinn, the other students didn'treally pay attention because
Layla herself was also considered weak.
This class is a lot more popularthan I thought.
Yeah, I wonder what weapon I should pick?
Well, I already have mine. Layla said, pointing to her bow
on her back. A lot of the students in the
room already had weapons of their own, Quinn and a couple of
(07:31):
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 assomeone 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
(07:53):
talking about it. Turns out he had already met her
before. It was Erin Healy, the ice
ability user. I wonder why she decided to go
to this class instead of the elemental class 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 Cortana blade from his sheath and
(08:14):
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 choose one from the wall around you.
Quinn looked at the wall and sawall sorts of things.
Axes, short swords, spiked clubs, whips, sides.
(08:36):
There was so much to choose from, Quinn was really having a
hard time. Quinn then walked up to one of
the random swords on the wall and used his Inspect skill.
Cord. Sword tier, Basic Beast weapon
Strength plus 3 agility -2 The sword is incompatible with the
skill Blood Swipe. After searching around the room
for a while, Quinn came across aweapon that stood out from the
(08:59):
rest. Black Horned Gauntlets Basic
tier Beast weapon Strength 3. Agility 0.
Stamina 0. Defense 2.
This weapon is compatible with the skill Blood Swipe.
When used with the gauntlets, Blood Swipe will have an
increase of 5% in power. The gauntlets were black in
color and had little tiny horns going up the forearm.
(09:21):
The fingertips were where pointed and bladed at the ends,
it made them look almost like some type of dragon claw.
What a strange choice young boy.It's not many people's 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 defense.
Quinn had already experienced fighting more than most kids.
(09:44):
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 opponents. Do you mind if I try it?
Quinn asked. Go ahead.
Leo said as he left to check up on other students selecting
weapons. Basic horn gauntlets equipped,
Strength 12, Agility 12, Stamina11, Defense two.
(10:06):
Once everyone had finished picking out their weapon, Leo
called everyone to gather aroundthe center ring.
For your first lesson, I want tosee 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 can be
improved on now. Are there any volunteers?
In an instant, Aaron was the first to put her hand up.
(10:27):
Without even waiting for Leo to say anything, she headed for the
arena in the middle and stood inside.
She held a single silver long sword that shine bright.
Oh, I also forgot to add, abilities will be banned during
today's sparring 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
(10:47):
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. I think you chose the wrong
club. Your ice abilities will be
useless here. Aaron didn't reply though, and
simply took her stance, waiting for her opponent to come forward
first. The man charged in, wielding his
(11:09):
large axe above his head. When he swung it down.
Aaron spun her body to the side,avoiding the blow, and at the
same time slashed at the back ofthe 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. Everything had happened in an
instant and the room was suddenly silenced.
They all knew Aaron was strong, but it was unexpected of her to
(11:31):
be so skillful with the blade. Most ability users, if they had
a strong ability like Aaron, would rely on that power and not
bother learning a weapon, but itwas clear to everyone she had
some practice. 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 shoot ahead and predict where her
(11:53):
opponent would turn. The next pair, Quinn Taylan and
Brandon Richardson to the arena.Now it was Quinn's turn.
With the weapons all 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.
As Quinn walked up to the stage,he noticed that Brandon His
(12:16):
opponent's indicator showed thathe was at the power level of
three, but here in the arena where abilities weren't allowed,
Quinn had a body stronger than most.
His speed was faster than most. Brandon held a large spear in
hand, which had great reach. The end was sharp with a single
curved blade at the end. Opponent power Level 3 bonus Exp
(12:37):
will be rewarded. It seemed like Quinn's day was
only getting better. Begin.
Brandon immediately charged in with his spear while Quinn stood
there and took a fighting stancewith both of his hands held out
in front of him. When Brandon was within striking
distance, he thrust his spear forward, but to Quinn, who had
12 points in agility, it was easy for him to dodge.
(12:58):
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 pullingthe spear back.
Let go while holding the spear with one hand, Quinn opened up
his other hand and swung out hisfirst like a claw as hard as he
could at the spear. Then a few moments later, the
(13:18):
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 Brandon Richardson Ability Elemental HP 5 of 15
(13:41):
Blood Type O positive. 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 backwards and
finally Brandon collapsed lying there on the ground.
Winner Quinn Taylan Leo said opponent has been defeated. 50
Exp rewarded First time higher power level bonus 50 Exp
(14:05):
rewarded 220 of 200 Exp Congratulations, you are now
level 320 of 400 Exp. One attribute point awarded.
New skill Blood bank unlocked. After defeating Brandon, Quinn
had received multiple messages and had even levelled up.
The bonus reward for defeating aLevel 3 user was higher than
(14:25):
when he defeated a level 2 user.Before leaving, Quinn looked at
Brandon who was lying on the floor.
Blood was dripping from his noseand 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
learned what the O type blood did as well.
(14:47):
The two military men again appeared out of thin air and
took Brandon away to the doctor's office.
But before Quinn could leave thearena, 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. How will Quinn defend himself
(15:10):
against the allegations of an unfair fight?
Will Quinn's triumph over Brandon prove to be a blessing
or a curse in the near future? Find out in the next episode.
