This is a promotional episode. What will happen when Luke
confronts Quinn about sucking Faye's blood on the school
rooftop? Is Vorden's attack on Layla a
sign of a deeper issue? Will Peter's new secret signal a
rift in his friendships, or is something more sinister at play?
(00:27):
Inside one of the dorm rooms, Peter was waiting inside
patiently for either Vorden or Quinn to come back.
Usually he would have gone off with Vorden, but the way Vorden
had acted earlier had given him second thoughts.
The fact that Vorden said that Vorden wasn't his name.
Peter wasn't exactly sure what he had meant by that.
While Peter was busy worrying about the others, there was a
(00:48):
sudden knock at the door. When he opened the door though,
Peter immediately tried closing it, but a hand had come out and
held the door open. Looks like he's not here.
Momo said, looking around the room.
Peter didn't have a good feelingabout this.
He remembered the last time theyhad met and how he had given
Borden a warning. Well, since you're the only one
here, why don't you come with us?
(01:09):
Momo said. We have some plans, and we think
you might be the perfect person to help us.
Peter felt like he had no choicebut to listen.
Momo was a level 6 user back on the school rooftop.
Luke had just arrived to see hisfriend being held by what looked
like some humanoid creature. It was dark so it was hard to
see clearly, but as the creatureheld Faye in his arms and was
(01:30):
biting into his neck, he could see glowing red eyes.
An object started to grow out ofLuke's body.
It was a long, thin white piece of bone that was the same size
as a small sword. He pulled it out and threw it
straight at Quinn. The flying sword bone flew
straight at Quinn, but he knocked it away with his hand.
Almost straight after, another piece of bone came at him, and
(01:51):
behind it was Luke running righttowards him.
In both of Luke's hands, he held2 white bone swords and swung
them down at Quinn. However, Quinn managed to grab
onto both of the bone swords, stopping them in place.
When Quinn tried to use his strength to break the bones,
Surprisingly, nothing was happening.
That was because of the difference in ability level.
Loop was a Level 3 ability user.The special substance he was
(02:15):
able to create out of his body was stronger than that of a
basic tier beast weapon. The bone spikes had managed to
Pierce Quinn's body in several different places, but luckily he
was able to avoid a blow to the head and his hands were
protected by the gauntlets. 10 of 20 HP.
Loop retracted the bone spikes into his body and was ready for
the same attack again. As he breathed in though, he
(02:37):
could see Quinn swipe his hand like a claw.
Luke ducked down and instead of hitting him, the attack
continued to go past and the redlines eventually disappeared
into nothing. Let's see what you're hiding
under that mask. Luke said as he stabbed one of
the bone swords into Quinn's foot and then lifted another one
at his face. Luke was a good fighter.
Quinn's sloppy skills weren't going to save him. 5 of 20 HP
(03:01):
Blood Bank Auto use 10 of 20 HP 90mm left in Blood bank. 20 of
20 HP 70mm left in blood bank 14of 20 HP He had thrown a total
of 6 Blood Swipes in rapid succession. 8 of 20 HP After
defending against the first six attacks, Luke thought he was
(03:22):
done, but another six blood swipes came straight after and
his bone swords could no longer take it and eventually snapped.
Opponent has been defeated. 50 Exp has been received. 130 of
400 Quinn hated to think about how he would have fought if he
didn't have the skill. Quinn then looked back at Faye
who was on the ground. It seemed like after being
(03:43):
bitten by him, his targets wouldstay asleep for some time, which
was a good thing, but now it wastime for him to feast on a new
person. Quinn walked over to Loop's body
and cast his inspect skill. Loop Savvy ability, Bone
Manipulation HP 1 of 25 Blood Type O Negative.
Although Loop was bleeding and Quinn was able to just drink
(04:06):
from the open wound, this would only give him the extra stat
point. Quinn lifted Loop's body from
the ground. Only a few inches were
separating their faces. I don't know whether it's a good
thing or a bad thing that I'm finding it easier every time I
do this. 20 of 20 HP restored O blood type has been consumed.
One free stat point has been added.
(04:26):
Blood bank has been filled. Strength 13.
Three Stamina 12. Agility 13.
Agility 14. In the end, Quinn decided to
stick to his original plan and add his stat points into
Agility. Although Quinn wore his mask,
there was still the chance of someone figuring out it was him.
(04:46):
However, Quinn wasn't that afraid of them finding out his
real identity. After all, the school didn't
really care if Quinn beat them half to death.
Actions like this were commonplace at the Academy and
with no markings on their neck to prove it, they would be
treated as Mad Men without any type of proof.
While Quinn was in the middle ofhis thoughts, he was startled
when he heard the door start to open again.
(05:08):
Quinn moved instantly at a lightning speed to try and flee
the scene, but quickly stopped when he saw it was someone
familiar opening the door. There you are.
Layla said, she then looked downand noticed the two bodies on
the floor. Quick, we have to get out of
here, the guards will be here any second now.
Oh no, we can't go this way. Layla then started to look
(05:29):
around the roof. I have a plan, grab me and let's
jump. Are you crazy?
Quinn said. Even with my strength from this
height I would at least break mylegs, and even if I can heal I
still feel pain. Just trust me, come on, I can
use my ability. Quinn quickly lifted Layla with
both arms despite his protest. I'm counting on you.
(05:50):
Quinn muttered as he leapt off the building.
Hey, that was pretty cool. You can fly?
Quinn asked stunned. No, my ability isn't that strong
yet. Layla replied.
At most I can only slow us down.Come on, let's head back to our
rooms. A lot of the students have
already formed their own groups and gangs to protect each other.
Why don't you create your own group?
(06:11):
That's not a bad idea, especially if in the future we
get targeted even more. Maybe I should ask Vorden if he
knows anyone. That crazy guy, I told you he
was bad news. Quinn, what?
Did something happen? It's best if you hear it from
your friend Peter, maybe then you will realize how bad it was.
After all, he saw the whole thing.
How can the school just let these sorts of things happen?
(06:33):
Surely there's a better way, Haley thought.
As she went to check up on Faye.She noticed he was now sleeping
calmly. However, when she looked at
Loop, something had caught her eye that concerned her.
In a certain spot on the boy's neck, there were two small
puncture wounds, similar to thatof a snake bite.
Haley then tapped her watch and waited a few moments for it to
(06:53):
connect. Hey General, I believe there
might be a stray beast roaming around the school.
What? That's impossible, We have seen
no signs indicating the presenceof one.
The voice on the watch replied. But there have been some strange
signs on two students. I'm a little bit worried, Haley
said. Please, for me would just
investigate it. Fine, fine, whatever you want.
(07:14):
How can I say no to my daughter?2 military men came rushing in
with another student on their back soaked in blood.
Hurry, the student is in critical condition.
The guard shouted. They quickly placed the student
on the bed and Haley quickly gotto work.
She tried and tried to use her abilities but it was useless.
The student was already too far gone, he had died.
(07:36):
Haley then tapped her wristwatchonce again to open up a digital
report log report confirming thetime of death. 930 PMA first
year student named Brandon Richardson.
When Quinn had arrived back in his dorm room, he was surprised
to see that neither Vorden or Peter seem to be there.
It's nearly curfew time. I wonder what they're doing out
so late. A few moments later and Peter
(07:58):
was the first to arrive back in the dorm room.
He slowly entered the room and didn't even acknowledge the fact
that Quinn had returned. He walked slowly over to his bed
and placed the quilt over his head, slightly shaking.
Then soon after Vorden had arrived, he could see a bulge
wrapped underneath the sheets onPeter's bed.
Then Vorden noticed that Quinn was sleeping.
(08:19):
As Vorden looked at Quinn's peaceful face, he smiled.
Looks like you were fine. Vorden whispered to himself.
I'm sorry. Each one of them was dealing
with their own problems, yet notone of them knew of the others.
As Quinn woke up, he was greetedwith his usual morning message.
Daily quest complete. Avoid direct sunlight for 8
hours. 135 of 400 Exp. Hey, did you get a good sleep?
(08:42):
Borden asked. When I came in yesterday, you
were completely knocked out. Yeah, I was pretty worn out
yesterday after combat classes. I heard you got in an accident,
Is everything OK? Borden asked.
As you can see, 9 minute complete recovery.
You don't need to worry about me.
Hey, seriously though Quinn, if you're getting bullied or hurt,
just tell me. Is everything OK Peter?
(09:03):
Quinn asked. Huh, yeah I'm fine.
Peter replied as he got dressed into a new uniform, a little bit
spaced out. The three of them then started
to head to the canteen, and as they were walking through the
hallways, Quinn had spotted someone who he didn't want to
see first thing in the morning. It was loop when the two walked
by each other. Luke stopped and called out to
(09:24):
Quinn. Hey, is it OK to talk to you in
private? Luke asked.
Quinn had put this into his calculations that they might
group up to attack him, but he didn't think something would
happen so soon. However, when he looked around,
there was no sight of Brandon oreven Faye nearby.
Hey, is everything OK? Borden said in a stern voice,
not breaking eye contact with Luke.
(09:46):
Yeah, it's fine. Borden you 2 go ahead I'll catch
up with you in a bit. I'm sorry about yesterday.
Luke said as he bowed. I promise I won't tell anyone
about your secret. Please whatever you do just let
me live. Thanks for keeping my secret,
besides I don't really have a grudge against you, although
your friends were the 1 to act on me, you didn't do anything
you were just trying to help your friends.
(10:06):
Quinn said. Thank you, thank you for sparing
me. Luke said.
I promise if you need anything Iwill help you, I just don't want
what happened to Brandon happening to me Brandon.
Quinn said confused. What happened to Brandon?
Who is behind Brandon's mysterious fate?
Will they manipulate the situation to frame Quinn for the
crime? Find out in the next episode.
