It was getting late that day, and soon it would be night time. Tomorrow was the weekend, so once again, the students would be free to do what they want as long as they didn’t leave the city for a couple of days.
With this, Quinn decided to head back to his dorm and call it a night. When he arrived at the halls of the dorm, he could see Peter sitting up against their room wall asleep. As Quinn walked past and entered the room, he took a glance at Peter, who looked to be bruised and beaten.
Not only that, but he seemed to have a couple of clumps of hair missing from his head.
’Is he still getting bullied, I wonder who ordered him to do it? Maybe Layla will know more." Quinn thought as he entered the room.
He still hadn’t forgiven Peter, and truthfully he never thought he could. But still, he wanted to stop incidents like this from happening in the future. To do that, he needed to find out who was at the top giving out the orders.
When Quinn entered the room, Vorden was already inside on his bed relaxing.
"Hey," Quinn said, "Where have you been? I came back earlier, but no one was here."
"Oh, that," Vorden replied. "Actually, something has been really bugging me about the whole Peter situation. It’s obvious someone asked him to do it, right? And they had already set up a fall guy to take the blame. But when I tried to find out what happened to that person today, not a single person knew. Everyone just kept saying the punishment was dealt with by Duke since he’s a second year."
"Why don’t you go to the first-year students he was hanging around with before, maybe they know something?"
"Yeah, I was planning to do that on the weekend, but we need to be careful. If my hunch is right, this would be involving someone at least at the sergeant level."
"Do you want me to come with you?" Quinn asked.
"No, I think its best if we investigate separately. Plus, if I get caught its harder for them to touch me, while for you, it’s a different matter completely until we get level on your watch sorted."
"I know!" Quinn said as he snapped his fingers. "Why don’t you ask Layla, apparently when we left they ran into those friends of Peters."
The face Vorden was currently making wasn’t one of happiness, but it wasn’t one of disgust either. It was as if he was trying to put on a smile, but his body was fighting against him.
"Quinn, you do know me and her don’t get on right?"
"Well you know you’re going to have to, we have the expedition next week. Use this as a chance to repair your friendship, I’ve already lost one friend, don’t make me pick and chose between you two Vorden."
Vorden then grabbed the pillow by his side and threw it at Quinn’s face.
"Alright man, I’ll try."
The two of them then laid down in their bed to get some sleep.
’You’re not actually going to try become friends with her, are you?’ Raten asked, ’Just kill her and then he doesn’t have to choose, we are his best friend, done, deal end off.’
’Go away and let me sleep.’
With Vorden investigating the situation, that meant Quinn would be free to Head to the VR room tomorrow, but before he shut his eyes to go sleep, he decided to have a look at the tutorial video he had unlocked when reaching level Ten.
Once again, the blonde man appeared, who looked like he was in some type of dojo.
"Congratulations on reaching level 10, now in this video no new skills will be learnt, but instead we will be creating our own. By now you should have also unlocked the skill blood spray and learnt the skill Hammer strike. Although Blood spray can be used on multiple targets, to do the most damage its best if you are actually touching your opponent. What’s even better is if you combine the two skills together."
The blonde man then got into a fighting stance once again, he repeated all the steps of the Hammer strike as usual but right at the end when the force came out, he performed the blood spray attack. Rather than spreading out like it usually did, it was compact and came out together in a thick line. In the video, a loud sound could be heard.
"Whoops." The blonde man said, "Looks like I will have to make some repairs to the dojo. This move I call Hammer spray. Now be careful because this attack will not only use up your stamina but will drain you of your blood as well. Also, the Hammer spray takes slightly longer to prepare, so it may not be optimal in all situations. But the point is, if you activate blood spray with a punch in your fist, it will be several times stronger."
After watching and analysing the video carefully, Quinn finally shut his eyes to get some sleep.
The next day when they awoke, Quinn was greeted with his usual message.
