As everyone walked off and headed back to their rooms, Fex managed to pull Quinn to the side just before they were about to part ways. After all, Fex and Quinn’s rooms were on the opposite ends of the hall.
"Just a little warning to you, Quinn. The device that Logan had been tinkering around with on his workbench, it’s a portal leading back home. If he discovers the access code and where it goes to, you need to do everything you can to stop him. Otherwise, the two of us will be found out and we will be in big trouble."
Finished with what he wanted to say, Fex quickly left Quinn before he could even ask any questions.
"What was that all about?" Quinn murmured.
He then decided to think carefully about the words Fex had said. The device on his workbench was the teleportation device that had been created by Richard Eno. Quinn knew of this fact only thanks to the systems inspect skill and then later had informed Logan.
By home, there could only be one place Fex was talking about. It was where the vampires came from. Still unsure whether or not that was somewhere on earth or another planet. But most likely from the hints given out so far, it seems like at somewhere along the way, between when the systems creator was a vampire and the vampires now, they had moved from the earth and relocated to another planet. or at least a place hidden from the human eye.
He understood that if Logan was to figure it out, he needed to stop him. The only thing Quinn didn’t understand was why Fex seemed so concerned. If Logan was to travel through the portal, why would he get in trouble?
It started to make Quinn think of his first meeting with Fex. He mentioned something along of the lines that he wasn’t meant to be here. Is that the reason why Fex hadn’t acted against Quinn? If he was to be found out then, he would be in trouble as well. And, based on what he said just now, he had basically confirmed it.
If this was all true then, Quinn didn’t need to worry about Fex.
"If what you are thinking is along those lines, then I’m afraid the situation is worse," The system said. "Based on the boy’s young age and at the same time, his great skill. It would be wise to assume he holds a high position in one of the vampire families. If he is not here on orders then, they will send others on his trail to retrieve him. We need to be careful."
All of this meant one thing; it was another reminder for Quinn to get stronger and be quick in doing so.
The next day, the first-year students were called into the assembly hall for a meeting once again. It was a little bit of a surprise but, they assumed it either had something to do with the next portal outing that was to be held this weekend or the Inter military base event in a couple of weeks.
As Vorden lined up next to Quinn, the two of them looked around the room and eventulley spotted Peter. Peter had been asked whether he wanted a break before joining the school again, and they even asked him if he wanted to take part in the next outing.
They had expected him to say no, but to their surprise, Peter had insisted to be taken on board, claiming that he wanted to get more experience as soon as possible in order to prevent such a thing happening to him again.
The real reason though, was because Quinn had asked him to. It was important for Quinn to keep Peter as close as possible to him.
While Vorden was looking around the room, his eyes had managed to catch the female student Cia. She was standing right by Layla, which was expected since the two of them were roommates.
Vorden started thinking back at the girl’s strange words and just then, the two of their eyes met. Cia noticed this and blew over a kiss towards Vorden. Seeing this, Vorden quickly turned away.
"What is wrong with that girl, no class at all. Nothing like Erin." Vorden quietly complained.
"You prefer that lame ice girl to her? What is wrong with you?" Raten said.
Onto the stage walked Nathan. It was the first time many of the first-year students had seen him. Usually, a general would hardly ever talk to the students unless it was something important which made the students fidget and slightly worry.
