My Vampire System novel Chapter 297

Chapter 297 Block, Block, Block

After having agreed to the little bet, all nine of them rented out a booth and headed over to the area. The people who walked by simply ignored what was going on. There were too many people in one section, it blocked outsiders from being able to see anything that was going on. Although they did find it strange that so many people were in one booth, it still wasn’t interesting enough for them to actively try and find out what was happening.

Now, all that was left was to decide who from which team would go first.

"Please let me do it." Sam volunteered himself. "I know you guys don’t really know who I am and just met me, but those guys just rub me the wrong way. Think of it as a freebie. You can observe for the meantime, and when I get stuck on a level it should make things easier for you guys."

Since Sam was insistent and sincere, the others found it hard to refuse his offer. In addition, Quinn liked the look of determination in his eyes.

"Sure, go ahead." Quinn responded.

They were confident that they wouldn’t lose, especially against some of the other students, but against people like these that never tried to get through life with their own hard work, then no. They wouldn’t allow themselves to lose to people like this.

Sam on the other hand, volunteered because he was worried that the others might humiliate themselves. He could tell by their stripes on their shoulder that they were only first years. It was most likely that they had never played a game like this before. In fact, the game was more difficult than it looked. One would have to be able to keep their concentration at their best while also multitasking. If he could beat everyone from the opponent’s side, then there would be no need for anyone else to step in.

"Zippy will go first," Zac said.

The student approached the metal pole while the rest of the players stepped back a few meters away from the room, just outside the game zone.

Zippy was a level 4 ability user, he was the lowest on the other team.

"3...2..1... Level 1, Start."

The game had started. The top two sections of the metal pole started twisting. At first, the machine was incredibly slow and Zippy was able to block two attacks. This continued on for a little while, Quinn noticed that only two parts of the machine were moving. This was due to the machine only being set at Level 1.

What Quinn also realized was the other part of the machine would only move once the person placed their hand or leg down. After blocking the attack, if one were to keep their arms up, then the machine wouldn’t start until it was able to sense that the arm had gone back down again.

Forty five seconds had now passed. All of a sudden, the machine started speeding up for the last fifteen seconds, Zippy’s expression changed as a little bit of sweat started running down his face.

"Beep"

One minute had passed and the sound of the buzzer had gone off, this indicated he had passed. Zippy let out a big sigh while he wiped the sweat from his forehead, he walked back to his teammates.

"Good job, Zippy. If you couldn’t even pass Level 1, then I was going to ask why you were still hanging around us," Zac said.

Zippy held his head down when he walked past the other, he had no response to give.

Next was Quinn’s team.

"Whoa! Go on Pam!" Fex shouted while clapping his hands.

"It’s Sam," Vorden corrected him, slapping his head, and slightly embarrassed as to why he was even with such an idiot.

Even though the game had started, Sam didn’t look nervous at all. Instead, he was calmly breathing and keeping it steady while blocking all of the attacks.

"He’s quite good, at least he’s been taught well," Vorden commented.

Quinn thought the same. Once he concentrated and closed his eyes, he was able to focus on his hearing. When he listened to Sam’s heartbeat, he could tell it was stable unlike the contestant from before. Even during the last fifteen seconds, Sam stayed the same.

When Sam walked back to the others, they each gave him a high five and congratulated him on a good job.

"Pfft! Look at them, celebrating when they only passed Level 1, they’re acting like they’ve already won," Zac said in an annoyed tone.

It was Zippy’s turn once again, this time, he was on Level 2. On this level, three of the different sections started moving. This caused the player to also move up and down, blocking the attacks not only to their head, but also the ones headed towards their body. Zippy was doing well so far with only fifteen more seconds to go.
