The room was full with students minding their own business practising their elemental abilities. Most of them in the room where Earth users, as that was the most common ability distributed throughout the world.
It was also the easiest to raise up a few levels ability-wise, but if you wanted to reach the peak of the earth ability. You were required to join the military and move up.
In one of the corners of the room, Peter had been taken by Bones, a tall skinny student who also had two other students by his side. They each formed a triangle like position, with Bones in front of Peter while the other two stood behind him.
Vorden had his own fair share fo fighting experiences, and just from looking at this, he knew what they were planning to do. He quickly needed to think of a plan and started to look round the room. Otherwise, they were going to get found out.
They couldn’t risk Peter getting taken away now, not while he was still a ghoul, a single day without flesh would make him go crazy. And although Quinn believed Peter would remain silent Vorden did not.
"Alright, Peter, it’s time to see what you got." Bones said.
However, Peter was far too nervous to hear Bones properly and was thinking about what to do to get out of this mess.
’Why did these guys have to come and get me now?’ Peter thought. ’Is the watch not proof enough. These guys are they still trying to ruin my life, well, if I’m going to get caught anyway. I should just kill them."
Just then, Peter managed to catch Vorden walking up from behind them and then walking to the side.
"Come on, Peter, are you ready or what!" Bones shouted, as he was starting to get agitated.
Vorden had now stopped off not too far next to them. He started to perform certain moves, and earth pillars and walls were created as he performed these moves. It was clear that Vorden had copied quite a high-level earth ability, but Peter was just wondering what did that have to do with him?
Then he noticed that Vorden was repeating the same set of moves and then pointing to himself afterwards.
’Does he want me to copy him?’ Peter thought, but just as he was thinking that. He felt a blunt object hit him in the stomach. When he looked down at what had hit him, he noticed it was an earth pillar.
"I don’t have all day you little twirp!" Bones shouted.
Peter was surprised at how little the attack had hurt. It was as if someone had given him a small nudge, but knowing the others would expect a reaction, he held his hands around his stomach and started to hurl forward.
While continuing to look over at Vorden. Peter then looked at Bones and started to copy each action Vorden was doing. First was a step on the ground, an earth wall was then lifted from the floor. Vorden made sure to create a small one, trying to mimic a level two user.
It was only because he had stolen a level four earth users ability that he was able to still create earth skills at such a distance. And thankfully, the others were all distracted, looking at Peter. To the outside, it just looked like Vorden was practising some form of martial arts.
Peter then threw out his palm imitating Vorden and the earth wall formed a worm like shape, still attached to the wall.
"Is that enough for you?" Peter asked.
Bones then walked up to the wall and placed his hand on it, lowering the wall down. He continued to walk forward until he was directly in front of Peter’s face.
An earth pole was formed into Bone’s hand, and he whacked Peter right across the face, leaving a large red mark. The taste of metal started to fill peters mouth as blood formed.
