Nate continued to observe Quinn and his fighting style and wondered just why he didn’t fight the same as when he fought against him. Quinn repeatedly went into match after match and would only go up against level ones.
It was clear to Nate that he had purposely set the system up this way, now some players would do this if they perhaps were trying out something new but from watching Quinn, all he could see was Quinn doing the same thing over and over.
He would enter into a game and them immediately dash in either using a barrage of the red line attacks of his or a furry of punches not caring whether he got hurt or not. It was clear he was beating them with pure strength and trying to win the matches as quickly as possible.
Unknown to Nate though, Quinn was purposely doing this, he didn’t have much time left between now and when he was to go out on to his portal training. So the only thing Quinn could do, was grind a few levels to get stronger using the system.
Finally, thirty minutes had passed and Quinn himself was growing tired of repeating the same thing over and over again. The only thing that kept him going was seeing his experience go up little by little. That’s when Quinn noticed that he had a spectator.
Nate who was sat in the seats gave a wave back.
"Oh it’s him, I wonder what he’s doing here?"
Then a thought came to Quinn’s mind, the fact that Nate was watching gave him the chance to ask him something. He then went onto the game system and sent out a part invite to Nate.
At first, Nate was just panning to spectate and watch Quinn play a few games, he wanted to study Quinn a bit more before asking him to another duel. But when he saw the party invite, he was quite surprised.
The game only allowed for one on one battles so the party invite feature was only really used between teammates for practising or if they wanted to chat and were far away. In the end, Nate was too curious and wanted to know what Quinn wanted and decided to accept.
The arena ground disappeared and now Nate and Quinn wherein a single white room once again.
"Hey, how you doing I hope you’re not planning some type of revenge are you?" Nate said as he proceeded cautiously towards Quinn.
"No actually I wanted to ask you something, the person who I fought with before, your friend, I wanted to know more about his cape and where he had received it from."
"Oh Sam’s cape, that’s why you wanted to talk to me" Nate then looked at Quinn standing in front of him. On his hands, he wore his gauntlets. That’s when Nate suddenly realised something, the gauntlets that Quinn were using looked horrible. They must have been only at the basic tier.
"Wait a minute, are you a first-year?" Nate said.
"Err yeah, I will be going on my first portal outing, I thought if you could tell me what type of beast you got it from, I would be able to look for it."
Nate was suddenly a little surprised, he went back and thought to how Quinn was able to damage his solid body even though no one had done such a feat before. He was sure the person would have at least been a second year.
"Let me give you a piece of advice then, on your first outing they always use the green portals, you have the chance of going to one of three places. Caladi, Almpin and Bartnee. Out of these three planets, you want to go to Caladi, there in the desert, there is a winged creature. I can’t remember the name of the winged creature but there aren’t many in the desert so I’m sure if you see one that will be it. That beast core is what we made the cape out of."
"Wait did you say, a desert?" Quinn asked.
"Yeah, what’s wrong with that?"
