After the incident with second years, Quinn realised that although he had gained a lot of strength compared to what he was before. There were still others that he wasn’t strong enough to fight against. Although Momo was strong in the group of second years, he was nowhere near the top of the food chain.
There were many higher levels and even originals whose powers couldn’t be measured. And even out of the first-year students there were those that were powerful, that included his good friend Vorden and Erin.
If Quinn wished to get on their level, he would have to get stronger. The easiest way for him to get stronger was by consuming as many different types of blood as he could possible but there was a major problem.
After the death of Brandon and the second-year incident, security around the academy had been tighter than ever. More soldiers were put on patrol and it seemed like they were keeping an eye on everyone.
For now, while tensions why high in the academy it was best that he laid low. So that left him with another option, to improve his fighting skills.
Quinn still hadn’t learnt the two skills yet but just learning them wasn’t going to be enough. After watching Vorden he realised he needed to also learn how to use them, so he needed experience.
"Hey I’m going to head into town to grab some supplies, do you want to come with?" Vorden asked.
Quinn hesitated for a while. Originally, he had planned to meet up with Layla to practise the Hammer strike but at the same time, he hadn’t been able to relax in a while.
In his last school Quinn had never made any friends and was the lonesome type but now was his opportunity to go out and have some fun.
One day wouldn’t hurt, right?
"Yeah, sure I’ll come along," Quinn replied.
"What about you Peter?" Vorden asked.
Peter had been avoiding the two of them for a while but since they were roommates it was almost impossible. He still felt bad about the whole situation but he had finally made up his mind, he never wanted to do anything like that again.
"Yeah, I’ll come as well."
The three of them then proceeded to head into town. They went ahead and grabbed some food, watched a movie and had a good laugh but as they were outside, Peter spotted a group of high-level first years he had met before.
They were the same people who Peter had hung out with at the canteen. As Peter had made eye contact with the group, they had signalled to him they wanted to talk.
"Hey guys, I just remembered that I promised to meet up with a few people from school tonight." Said Peter. "It was great hanging out with you guys but I’ll see you when you get back to the dorm."
Vorden looked at Quinn, realising that they both though Peter words sounded suspicious.
"Hey Peter, you know if something is up, tell me I will help you out," Vorden said.
"No it’s nothing I promise, I really did make some good friends, I have to rush off now, Bye you guys," Peter said as he took off out of sight of the other two.
No matter what Peter didn’t want an incident like last time to happen. He would deal with the problems himself. Vorden was strong but from the fight last time, clearly Vorden wasn’t strong enough to handle the upper years and Peter knew they were the ones behind everything.
