00:00Channel Red Novel Chapter 551, Love Sick Blip looked at the four of them with intent,
00:16he would be the first to fight and was trying to decide out of all of them,
00:20which one had the most potential. The only thing he could go by was the first assessment since
00:25none of them had soul weapons. After deliberating over it for a while, he had finally made a
00:31decision. You with the gel-backed hair, I pick you. Blip said with a smile. The person he had
00:39selected was Fex. In his head, there were really only two people to choose from. Quinn or Fex.
00:47Out of the two, he had chosen Fex because of his unique ability. The speed ability had been seen
00:53many times before and there were quite a few people who knew how to stop it with ease.
00:58A simple earth user was usually enough to deal with them. They either made the ground beneath
01:04them soft or created a large earth dome, compressing it, to smaller and smaller sizes.
01:10Let's get this started, shall we? Blip said as he threw his large overcoat to the side.
01:16Underneath he had revealed a set of beast armor, they had never seen before.
01:20This whole time Blip had been wearing quite the large overcoat covering himself.
01:26One could tell he was wearing beast armor underneath it, but not the finer details.
01:32Now that the overcoat had been taken off, they could see the armor clearly.
01:38Most of it was black in color with a few purple shades here and there, but what stood out,
01:43was the fine level of craftsmanship built into the beast gear.
01:46Engraved on all the pieces of armor were spiral patterns along with small feathers.
01:52Then underneath his pecs on the chest piece, was what looked like fierce eyes.
01:57It was impressive, and Quinn couldn't imagine how long it must have taken to make such armor.
02:03Even more so, Quinn was interested in looking at what level the beast gear was at.
02:07Inspect, Emperor-tier chest piece, King-tier shoulder pads, Emperor-tier boots, King-tier dagger X2,
02:15he had to blink twice to make sure he had seen the right thing.
02:19It was the first time Quinn had ever come across a weapon and armor at such a high level.
02:24He had seen a couple of the school generals have a few King-tier pieces but not at the Emperor level.
02:29So far, humans had discovered 8 different types of beast crystals, and with it, 8 different gear and equipment levels could be made.
02:39The 8-tiers were as follows.
02:42Basic-tier, Intermediate-tier, Advanced-tier, King-tier, Emperor-tier, Legendary-tier, Demi-Dod-tier, Demon-tier,
02:51of course, the higher the tier, the stronger the beast needed to be killed to obtain it.
02:56At the same time, they were even rarer.
03:00Quinn started to remember how much trouble he had gone through just to kill the King-tier beast and how he didn't even get the crystal from it.
03:07The strongest equipment he had on him right now was the Advanced-tier gauntlets,
03:11and that was only because Leo had given him the crystals to make it.
03:15The fight between the two of them had started, and Quinn was interested in seeing what ability Blip would have.
03:22The inspect skill didn't show him, so he thought it would be an interesting one.
03:27Since they were out of the military base, no longer would Quinn have to see so many Earth users again.
03:33However, he had underestimated Blip's power.
03:37Maybe through talking and leadership, he was quite a casual person, but when it came to fighting,
03:41it seemed like he had turned into a completely different person.
03:46He had gotten into a fighting stance, and there was no longer a smile on his face.
03:51In turn, Fex was cautious by nature before moving in.
03:56He tried going in.
03:58His plan was to pretend to attack Blip, and while doing so, he would attempt to tie him up with the strings.
04:04A few punches were made and as expected Blip had dodged the attacks, with the string lightly going on to his arms.
04:12Fex would only tighten it when he had him completely wrapped him in his web, but then.
04:17Blip had taken out his daggers and appeared to cut the invisible string.
04:21To everyone else, it looked like he was just cutting thin air, but somehow Blip was able to see it.
04:27Fex now knew this was a man where tricks wouldn't work on him.
04:31The fight continued with Fex trying to develop creative ways to use the string,
04:36but with his string being broken so easily, he felt like he was running out of options.
04:40If he had his blood string, then maybe he could do something.
04:45That's enough, I've seen what you can do.
04:48Blip said.
04:49There was no feedback, and the whole thing had been recorded so they could look back at it later.
04:54When Blip went to sit down, Kaz was to go next, and Nate immediately volunteered himself.
05:02What are you doing?
05:04Sam whispered.
05:05Don't you want to go against the blood evolver, against Quinn?
05:09You're right, I do, but remember there's four of them and three of us.
05:14Which means one of us will have to go twice.
05:17She has the regeneration ability so she shouldn't be too strong,
05:21and I should be able to have enough energy to go against Quinn.
05:25He said back.
05:26While he was walking to where Kaz was standing,
05:29there was a hop in his step as he was happy with what was about to take place.
05:33The match had started, and Nate allowed for Kaz to make most of the attacks.
05:39She mostly used her long legs to kick at his head.
05:43Each time they would be blocked by Nate.
05:45He felt like he could go on all day, and the smile not once had gone away from his face.
05:51While he was using his harding skills and at the strength,
05:54she was kicking at, it didn't hurt him one bit.
05:57Slowly though, the kick's patterns would change,
06:01and so would the position of her feet however,
06:03she was going up against the wrong person.
06:06Nate could see this, and each time he would respond by changing his own position,
06:11which would be optimal for blocking the attacks again.
06:14The others had seen this a few times and felt like Kaz actually had a decent martial arts ability.
06:19She knew many different kicking techniques that would have done some damage,
06:23but enough was enough.
06:25Linda gave a little cough.
06:28It was a signal for Nate to go on the offensive.
06:31Are you okay?
06:32Quinn asked Linda.
06:35The reason being, she had actually already coughed a few times throughout the fight,
06:39that the others were getting a bit concerned.
06:42It was because, for some reason, it looked like Nate was refusing to attack,
06:47but by the dumb loved-up look he had on his face, they could guess why.
06:51This time, Linda coughed once more louder than all the ones before,
06:55and it had finally snapped Nate out of his daze.
06:58After blocking the next kick, he shifted his feet forward so smoothly that he was able to get on the inside within seconds.
07:06Then harding his fingers and placing his hand in a karate chop position.
07:10He went to strike down on her shoulder.
07:14Somewhere, it would hurt but not cause a fatal wound.
07:18However, as he saw his hand go down, energy started to leave his body, and he began to feel weak.
07:23I can't hurt her.
07:26He thought as a strange scent entered his nose.
07:29He quickly got out of there.
07:32If he couldn't hit her, then he needed to get out of the striking range.
07:36The assessment is over, Nate said, walking back to the others.
07:41When Nate finally sat down, he couldn't get the cold stare of Linda's eyes off him.
07:45You were meant to hurt her to see how far she could go, and so we could see how strong her ability is.
07:52Linda asked.
07:54I tired, Nate replied.
07:57I seriously tried attacking her, but when I did, something felt strange.
08:02It was if my energy was being absorbed from my body.
08:05It wouldn't let me hurt her.
08:08Linda gave a huff before looking away and mumbling the words.
08:12Lovesick boy.
08:13She knew that what he was saying couldn't be possible unless she had lied about her ability.
08:19The next contestant was Paul, but Blip didn't really know who to put with him.
08:25Blip wasn't that interested himself.
08:27The only one from them that was free that hadn't gone yet was Linda, so his eyes naturally went over towards her, but they were lowered, and she seemed to be in a bad mood.
08:36In a way, he felt like if he put her in there with Paul, he would be punishing Paul for something he hadn't done.
08:44Send the kid in again, Linda said.
08:47What?
08:48But I just went.
08:50Nate replied back.
08:52So, you didn't really do any things, and you don't appear to be hurt.
08:57Blip looked into Nate's eyes as if he was asking him this favor of him to go ahead and fight.
09:02In the end, he felt like he had no choice but to agree.
09:07Besides, now that he and Quinn were part of the same base, they would have plenty of opportunities to fight each other.
09:14If he fought him now, it would just be like before anyway, where he couldn't use the full extent of his abilities.
09:21So it was better to have a match away from the eyes of others.
09:24While Nate would fight against Paul, it meant that Quinn would have to go against Linda for the final assessment.
09:31Quinn had a good idea that Nate wanted to fight him, and he was betting on that.
09:36It would make it easier for him to throw and lose the fight.
09:40It seemed like this assessment was going to be a little harder than he initially thought.
09:45I'm going to make you show me what you got, Quinn Talon.
09:48I control you while Nate and Paul were getting ready to fight, Quinn had time to think about what to do.
09:58For now, he had decided to hide his shadow abilities, but he didn't intend to do this for long.
10:04After all, the goal was to find out information.
10:08He would soon need to go through the ranks, giving him a higher position in the faction and possibly being invited to the Grey Lash family directly.
10:15So it would be beneficial if he achieved the highest grade possible.
10:21But he didn't want to rush things, he had learnt that when going to the vampire world unprepared, it could lead to dangerous things.
10:28He and his friends had almost died many times.
10:32He was going into the unknown there, and he would be doing the same here.
10:36He had learnt how important it was to learn things beforehand.
10:40Back then, he was on a time frame, right now he wasn't.
10:43If anything the longer he took, the more time he would have to stay on earth and do his own research.
10:50The fight with Nate and Paul had started, and on Paul's fists, he wore the clawed gloves that Quinn had gifted to him.
10:58Paul wasn't completely useless when it came to hand-to-hand combat, he had to learn it in the military after all, but it had been so long since he had used it.
11:06He always had his ability before, what he was worried about was trying to hold back when attacking.
11:13Just like before, Nate seemed to be waiting there inviting Paul to take the first move.
11:18How the positions have changed.
11:21Paul thought, looking at a student who had supposedly just graduated.
11:25Now he was the one being tested.
11:27Pushing his past and pride to the side, Paul went forward pulling back his power as he threw his fist.
11:34The claws were about to reach Nate's head first, but he had raised his forearm to his side blocking the attack, and a clanging sound was heard as the metal claw clashed against Nate's hardened body.
11:45Come on, what was that?
11:48Nate said, pushing the hand away.
11:51Your punches are even weaker than that girl's kicks, are you even trying?
11:55Perhaps Paul had held back a bit too much when attacking.
11:59So he went again, striking harder this time but it still wasn't at a hundred percent.
12:05I know you have no ability, but you have to have more strength than this.
12:10Nate taunted again.
12:11The others watching didn't know if Nate was just trying to encourage him, or if the attacks were really weak.
12:18However, what he didn't realize was the taunts were actually working.
12:22Usually, things like this wouldn't annoy Paul.
12:26But he realized as time went on, he was frustrated with his position.
12:31Once at the top as one of the most vital ability users, and now, he had nothing.
12:36He was weak, and even this nobody student was calling him weak.
12:41All these thoughts went through his head as he was striking harder and harder.
12:45The sound of metal hitting against metal was getting louder.
12:49But still, they were being blocked by Nate, and he hadn't moved from his original position.
12:55I'm not weak.
12:56I'm not weak, Paul thought.
12:58He let out a strike with all his power this time, and when Nate went to block it, his whole body was shifted slightly to the side for the first time.
13:07When Nate used his harding ability, it made his skin harder and made him significantly way more.
13:14He really was holding back.
13:16Without any break, another hit was coming from the other side.
13:19Watching from the sides, Quinn could see and feel a slight pressure coming off from Kaz's body, and he wasn't so sure, but it looked like she was smiling, watching Paul act like this.
13:32Paul stop.
13:33Quinn whispered, hoping his sensitive ears would pick it up.
13:37The strike hit again, moving Nate's body a few inches to the other side, and then another fist came.
13:44Paul stop.
13:46Quinn said louder this time.
13:49Suddenly, a strange feeling was felt in Paul's body.
13:53Like it had been taken over.
13:55His fist stopped Medair, and Paul dropped to the ground on his knees.
13:59What the hell is this?
14:02Paul thought.
14:03Is this what they meant when they said I have to listen to his orders?
14:07Am I being controlled by him?
14:10It was a good thing you said stop.
14:13Sam hurriedly said.
14:15It looked like the others were wondering why Quinn had chosen to get involved.
14:20Sam didn't know either, but luckily he thought he could use Paul's situation to his advantage.
14:24It looks like if he went further, he would have tired himself out.
14:30Hearing this, Paul started to huff and pant, as if he was gasping for air, even though he wasn't tired.
14:36His mind had become a little clearer now.
14:40Good job.
14:41Nate said.
14:43You didn't manage to hurt me or make a scratch on me.
14:46However, your punches definitely started to pack a punch.
14:50After hearing what Sam had said, and that Nate's evaluation was basically over.
14:56Quinn and Linda decided to disregard him getting involved in the assessment.
15:01However, they did make a note of their relationship.
15:05Either Quinn deeply cared for his friends and could spot Paul getting tired,
15:09or the position of power wasn't with Paul after all.
15:13Blip had assumed at first it was Puel, just because he looked the oldest,
15:16but after these assessments, it was clear he was the weakest out of all of them.
15:21So perhaps another one in the group was the actual leader.
15:25Finally, it was time for the last assessment, which was Quinn's.
15:30For this, he had taken his gauntlets off, saying that they would only slow him down.
15:35He was an apparent speed user in this fight.
15:39Linda had gotten up quickly and had gone to the warehouse's open area and stood opposite Quinn.
15:43Then, new quest received, defeat the opponent in front of you to receive an instant level up.
15:50The quest had come up, the same one that did when he was about to fight Nate, as well as Leo.
15:55This only came up a few times with certain individuals.
16:00Which meant she was strong.
16:02Taking off her overcoat just as Blip did, she also revealed her beast armor underneath.
16:07It looked almost identical to Blip's, only hers was white in color with a gold engraving of feathers all around.
16:15They have the same armor, are they a power couple or something?
16:19Fex commented.
16:21No it's not that.
16:23Sam replied.
16:25Both Blip and Linda were the founders of the Crows.
16:29Their brother and sister.
16:30Inspect, Emperor-tier chest piece, King-tier shoulder pads, Emperor-tier boots, King-tier dagger X2, just like the equipment Blip was wearing, Linda's was of equal quality.
16:43Don't hold back.
16:45Linda said.
16:47Because I'm not going to.
16:48In an instant, she was by Quinn's side, and duking down, with an overhead punch, she had hit Quinn right in the face.
16:57Throwing him across the room and into one of the metal storage units.
17:01As his body hit the unit, he coughed out blood.
17:0580 out of 100, so fast.
17:08Fex said.
17:10Does she have a speed ability as well?
17:13No, she's not even using her ability.
17:16Sam replied.
17:17But then, how?
17:20It's her boots, if I was to take a guess I would say they are at the Emperor-tier.
17:25Paul commented.
17:27I guess you guys don't know much about Beast-gear, do you?
17:30There is a reason why the military split the ability level into 8 different levels.
17:36Even though some have more MC cells, that would take them beyond that.
17:41Originally, the system was actually based on the 8 tiers of Beast-equipment.
17:45Let's use what we see in front of you as an example.
17:49If the boots enhancement type was speed, then a basic tier would give an ordinary person, as long as they could activate the Beast-gear, the same speed as a level 1 speed user.
17:59Intermediate-tier speed boots enhancement would give someone the speed of a level 2 user, and it would continue as you went up.
18:07This follows true for the most part until you get to the very top of Beast-equipment.
18:12So right now, if her boots are based on enhancing 1 speed at Emperor-tier, she would have the same speed as a level 5 speed user.
18:22This is why Beast-equipment is so necessary.
18:25Remember though, these rules don't apply to Demi-God and Demon-tier equipment.
18:30They far surpass what we can even gauge as ordinary.
18:33Also, some equipment isn't designed to just enhance one area.
18:39Maybe the boots are partly power enhancers and don't fully focus on speed.
18:44So there are many variables.
18:47Listing in, Blip was about to give an explanation to the students, but it seemed like he didn't have to.
18:53Paul had explained everything perfectly.
18:55His knowledge was excellent and accurate.
18:59It was expected for someone from Pure, who only relied on Beast-equipment.
19:04At the same time, Vex was wondering if the vampires even knew about this.
19:10They only used Beast-crystals to power their items and such, there weren't many that used it for Beast-gear,
19:16they saw it as a sign of being weak, having to rely on equipment.
19:20According to the past, the only one that dabbled in Beast-gear a little was the old Tenth-Liter.
19:26Perhaps, this arrogance would one day, be the downfall of them.
19:31Weak, Linda said, starting to walk away.
19:34The assessment is over.
19:36My arse the assessment's over.
19:39Quinn said, standing up and wiping the blood from his mouth.
19:44Channel Red Novel Chapter 553, Traveler Grade Yeah, Linda was fast, but Quinn had seen faster.
19:52With his boots and stats, along with the activated skill.
19:55He too should be able to achieve a speed similar to hers.
20:00Not being able to use his abilities, in itself this was quite a fun challenge for him.
20:05Charging in, Linda matched him going in as well, and the two met in the middle quickly.
20:10So what if you have speed?
20:13That's just your ability, for me with just this equipment I have more power than you.
20:18She shouted.
20:20Linda threw another fist, however, being prepared this time, Quinn had avoided it.
20:26He dodged the attack, and his eyes had locked with hers.
20:30He threw a punch of his own, but she too had moved out of the way.
20:34This continued, and Quinn didn't break eye contact.
20:38While fighting, he was thinking, he could have used the phantom punch right now, he could have tried using daze.
20:45Blood swipe.
20:47And then he even had his shadow ability.
20:49It looked like there was no winner, as the punches would continue to avoid each other to the outside.
20:56Still, for Quinn, he was satisfied, knowing there were several things he could do.
21:01He had grown stronger.
21:03After feeling he had shown enough, he pretended to stumble, gritted his teeth and prepared himself for the next punch.
21:10He could tell she was putting full force into each of her hits now.
21:14She was going too fast to not be able to.
21:18Whereas the first time, she must have held back a little, worried that she might kill him.
21:23But now, all she wanted to do was hit Quinn, as she had gotten carried away.
21:29The blow had hit, and once again he was thrown across the room to the same place as before, hitting the container.
21:35This time his body had made a large dent in it, and he fell onto the cold floor.
21:41Dash 30 HP, 50-100 HP, Quinn was still conscious, but he pretended to lay on the floor lying still.
21:50Quinn.
21:51Fex said, running forward and picking him up off the ground.
21:55When he turned him over, Quinn gave Fex a wink showing that he was all alright and to play along.
22:00Shaking his head, Blip was a little worried he might have been gravely injured.
22:06After a few moments though, he could see that Quinn was waking up and Fex was carrying him over his shoulder.
22:13Quinn gave a quick thumbs up to Blip showing he was okay.
22:17You guys are some good kids.
22:19Blip said.
22:21After everything, the assessment was over, and the four of them were told to wait patiently while they discussed things over.
22:27It looked like they would be getting their grade there and then.
22:32How do you think we did?
22:33Fex asked while they were waiting.
22:36I'm really not sure.
22:38Quinn replied.
22:40I don't know how they judge these traveler things, but I think we can trust these guys.
22:45They seem like good people.
22:48It would be best if we all started at rank D.
22:51We could then go on the higher grade hunts and gather funds quicker.
22:54Finally, it looked like the decision had been made.
22:59The three of them stood up, and Blip was in the center with his tablet in his hand.
23:04For the first time, he looked a little nervous, making them a little nervous.
23:09Even though it didn't really matter what grade they got.
23:13First, for Paul.
23:15We have decided to give you the grading of a rank F traveler.
23:19Blip said.
23:19Paul didn't think he would care about such a thing, but for some reason, when he had heard those words.
23:26His fist automatically clenched up, and a strange feeling was felt in his stomach.
23:32Rank F, the lowest rank for a traveler.
23:35That wasn't something fit for a head general.
23:37But that was right, he was no longer a head general.
23:42Please don't be disheartened about this.
23:45You showed great skill and honestly, with the obstacle course, you performed at a speed in time quicker than average.
23:52But with only an intermediate tier weapon as beast gear, no sole weapon and no ability.
23:57These are things that even rank F travelers have, even if they aren't so strong.
24:03So it was impossible to give you a higher rank based on just your fighting and physical skills alone.
24:09After hearing the reasoning, it made sense to them, but now Quinn realized that there was a high possibility that they would all get a low grade based on those requirements.
24:19Next, Kaz.
24:20At first, we thought that Nate was being over generous with your score.
24:26He thought you deserved to be in rank D.
24:29But honestly, us two just couldn't see it.
24:32However, he does get a say in all of this, and you do have a healing ability.
24:38Reluctantly, we had finally come to a compromise and awarded you a rank E.
24:43Both Blip and Linda didn't want to award this at all.
24:46Especially since she had only shown skill on the same level as Paul.
24:51Perhaps a little better.
24:53But their discussion had already gone on for too long, and Nate refused to budge.
24:59Love was a strange and powerful emotion.
25:02Quinn.
25:03Blip said.
25:05Your speed ability helped you immensely in the obstacle course, and we saw you use it well in the fighting assessment as well.
25:11We look forward to seeing what you can do in the future here.
25:16However, the speed ability is a common one and easily countered by other ability users.
25:21It also doesn't have much effect on beasts.
25:25It would have been nice to see what your soul weapon would have been, perhaps then you would have gotten a higher grade, but because of this, we too have awarded you with rank E.
25:34It wasn't the worst result, and it wasn't the best result either.
25:38The artificial grade didn't matter much to Quinn.
25:42After fighting Linda, a rank B traveler, even though she didn't use her ability, Quinn could guess if he was to go all out, he would probably be around the B to a level.
25:52If his system was correct in gauging how strong she was.
25:56Finally Fex.
25:58You were very creative in using your string ability.
26:02We never thought someone with such a strange sounding ability would be able to use it so well.
26:06Your fighting abilities were extraordinary as well, and your string was strong.
26:12There won't be many who will be able to see your string, at the same time, I could tell my king tier dagger struggled to cut it, I thought it would be easier.
26:21Which means it's quite the strong ability.
26:24For all of these reasons, even though you have no soul weapons.
26:28We would like to award you with rank D.
26:30Me.
26:31Yes.
26:33Fex jumped up, shouting.
26:36In you face losers.
26:38Who's the best, who's the man?
26:40Me.
26:42For a second Fex had lost it.
26:44He really didn't know what had come over him.
26:47When seeing the faces of the others and Quinn's strange look.
26:51He realized it wasn't anything to celebrate over.
26:55They had all held back during the assessment.
26:57Sorry.
26:58Fex said as we went to sit back down.
27:03Remember this grade isn't the end.
27:06Just because you didn't get a good initial assessment doesn't mean you can't rank up.
27:10The first three ranks are the easiest to rise through.
27:14So if we have made a misjudgment, you can prove it to us very quickly.
27:19Blip explained.
27:20You can use Sam as an example.
27:23He was given a rank F in his initial assessment and is now a rank C in only two months.
27:29He proved that we really did make a mistake.
27:32This was good to hear, for if Quinn and the others started to rank up quickly.
27:37They wouldn't be too suspicious of them.
27:40I look forward to seeing all of you.
27:42I'll get Nate to show you around the shelter, and base, and he can show you all where you will be staying.
27:49Nate walked forward and led the four out of the warehouse.
27:52I think those kids will grow quickly.
27:55Blip said as he went to leave but then noticed that Linda wasn't coming with him.
28:00What's wrong?
28:02I'm just going to stay here and train for a bit.
28:05Linda replied.
28:06Don't work too hard, sis.
28:10Blip said as he left to perform the rest of his shelter duties.
28:14He would have to now input the grades given into the system and hand out the traveler's tags later on.
28:20When Blip had finally left the warehouse, Linda didn't go to train as she said.
28:25Instead, she went back to the desk and started to watch back her own fight with Quinn.
28:30She watched it a few times, and then also watched what cuz had done.
28:34These people are strange, even Paul in the end.
28:38But why the need to hide their strength?
28:41Linda thought.
28:43If they were just honest, we would welcome them even more with open arms.
28:48They would even have a better chance of going to the big three.
28:51Her curiosity had gotten the better of her, and she had stopped watching the videos.
28:57Deciding to go online instead.
28:59On the screen, she had written the words.
29:03Blood Evolver.
29:04The first search result had appeared.
29:07Is there a hacker named Blood Evolver in Power Fighters?
29:11It was a forum post and she noticed there were many other topics on Thea about the Blood Evolver.
29:17It seemed to be quite the hot topic a while back, so she decided to click on the forum post,
29:22and the first thing she could see was a video.
29:26Channel Red Novel Chapter 554, Who is Blood Evolver?
29:30Linda was busy watching the videos and after watching the first one, she honestly didn't see what the big deal was.
29:38She had heard of the game Power Fighters and had played it herself a few times, but ever since the creation of the faction, she didn't have time to get involved in things like that.
29:47To try and get a better understanding of what the video was talking about, she started to read the comments in the forum.
29:54However, as she went down the rabbit hole of looking for this Blood Evolver, she could see he had gained quite the following, getting win streak after win using this strange ability.
30:11According to one of the posts from the developers, they confirmed that he wasn't hacking.
30:17Which made people come to the conclusion that he had an original ability that was, for some reason, able to be used in the game.
30:25Next she decided to change her search results.
30:28She changed it from most relevant and popular to most recent.
30:32Surprisingly, there seemed to be a video that wasn't from so long ago.
30:36There was quite a big gap between videos, but this was one was posted around a week or so ago.
30:44Blood Evolver back on public servers.
30:47Unlike the others, it had yet to get as much attention as it seemed to be posted by an unknown.
30:53Watching the video, she could see the rank of both players as well as basic information and username.
30:59The Blood Evolver was unranked, while the person he was going up against was a rank D.
31:03The fight was in motion, and they were using their gaming avatars.
31:09So they didn't look like their usual selves.
31:12The fight had started and this time, the Blood Evolver didn't use any of his abilities.
31:18Instead, he threw out a punch.
31:21A single punch was all it had taken for him to win the game.
31:25Her hand started shaking, watching the video.
31:28There was such raw power, and if someone could take out a rank D so easily.
31:32Their real level would have to be at least rank B.
31:37On top of that, they had this amazing Red Aura ability.
31:41I don't understand, is one of those for the Blood Evolver.
31:45If that's the case, why would there be a need to hide the ability?
31:49Linda thought.
31:51Unless they're hiding their real strength because they're spies.
31:54But what business would they have with our faction?
31:57It's not even that important.
32:00After thinking about why someone would need to hide their abilities, she started to think
32:04about who it would be.
32:06She was certain that it was one of the four that had come in.
32:10At first, based on the interactions between Sam and one of them, she for sure thought it
32:15was Quinn.
32:16However, after fighting him, now she was certain he had to have had a speed ability.
32:20The boots and beast equipment being used weren't that high of a level.
32:26Thinking about it closely, she had come up with a most likely candidate.
32:30Yes, it has to be him, he has to be the Blood Evolver.
32:35She thought.
32:36It has to be Paul.
32:38For some reason they're keeping his ability a secret.
32:42They claimed he was part of Pure, saying he had no ability and that's why Quinn told him
32:47to stop.
32:48During the fight, his punches were getting stronger and stronger.
32:52Maybe the aura is some type of enhancing ability, and it was starting to show.
32:57The only thing that didn't add up was why Paul was playing on the military servers, but if
33:02he used to be part of the military rather than with Pure, it would make sense.
33:07Still, she didn't know why they had chosen to do this, and there were more people she was
33:12suspicious of.
33:13The faction needed power more than anything.
33:17So as long as it didn't become a big problem, they could do what they wished.
33:21But she would be keeping a close eye on them all.
33:25Outside of the base, Nate had decided to start the tour outside of the main base of operations.
33:31He explained that the base was really only used for meetings, training, and the job request
33:36board was placed inside.
33:38It was also good if one wished to find some people to help them with job quests.
33:43Other than meeting in the morning at the base for a daily update, there weren't really any
33:48requirements and members would be able to do as they wished.
33:52As long as they were on an active task, they would have to update the base on what they were
33:56doing.
33:57This allowed for the faction to see certain information.
34:00If they saw someone accepted a quest to hunt an intermediate beast but was staying in the
34:06base for a week, they would go and have a talk to see what was going on.
34:11Nate advised them to look at the quest carefully.
34:14Most of them had attacks on the lower level beasts, they would have to give up 20% of their
34:19beast crystals.
34:19There was also a minimum number of 5 members for each quest.
34:25The higher quests would usually ask for more people, and they would have a rank requirement
34:29when looking for members to join.
34:32The rewards for this were different as well.
34:35If it was to hunt a high level beast and was one that they had never obtained a crystal
34:39from before, the crystal was to be given to the faction.
34:43And in turn, they were to give it to the Greylash family.
34:46It wouldn't be a complete loss though.
34:50The Greylash family would send back the same level of crystal, only one they already had
34:54in return as reward.
34:56Or something of equal value.
34:59While walking around the shelter, they could see that there were civilians like the other
35:03ones.
35:04However, Nate had said that all of the people here belonged to the faction in one way or
35:09another.
35:10There were around 500 members in the Crows faction and here their family would be staying
35:14as well.
35:15On top of being a faction, they had to basically run the shelter even more so than before.
35:21Kids who used to go to school outside of the shelter and in different areas couldn't be
35:26taught anymore.
35:27And then there were those that had just turned 16.
35:31The compulsory two-year draft no longer existed and someone needed to teach the next generation.
35:37Finally, they had reached the marketplace, which was filled with food and beast equipment
35:42as well as ability books.
35:43The first thing I suggest you guys do is to get better equipment, Nate said.
35:49Don't go risking your lives fighting something too high of a level.
35:53Start with the low-ranked quests.
35:56Save up credits and buy some armor and good weapons.
36:00Most of what you guys have is considered low-tier around here.
36:03The other members have at least advanced-tier equipment.
36:07But for that, it will be a struggle to buy at the market.
36:11You will have to hunt for the crystals yourselves.
36:15Nate looked at all of them for a while and then looked at Quinn.
36:18I know.
36:20Nate said with a smile.
36:21Why don't you three go have a look around?
36:25As for Paul, I suggest he get an ability as soon as possible.
36:29I know you might not have many funds.
36:32So here.
36:34Out from his back pocket, Nate gave Paul his money card, which was gold in color.
36:39He had earned quite a lot of money during his short time here.
36:43Think of it as alone.
36:45Buy whatever ability book you think will suit you.
36:49If you guys don't mind, I would love it if us two and Quinn could play catch up.
36:54It came as a surprise to the others that Quinn actually knew Nate and Sam.
36:59Then Paul realized why they were in this space in the first place.
37:03Perhaps he had gotten in contact with them and wanted to be with his friends.
37:08Such a kid.
37:09Paul thought.
37:10His mood was still a little soured from the grade he had gotten.
37:15He knew this made him out to be more like a kid, but more and more things were starting
37:19to frustrate him lately.
37:22Once again, Quinn had looked to Fex to babysit the two of them.
37:26There was still no chance he was leaving Kaz and Paul alone together.
37:30Come on.
37:32Fex complained.
37:34Look, Quinn whispered.
37:36You know they can't be left together.
37:38Besides, Paul doesn't know which abilities a vampire can use so you can help in that department,
37:44right?
37:45Kaz won't do anything in front of all these people.
37:48She cares about the mission more than any of us.
37:52I'm not worried about that, Fex replied.
37:55It's just these two spuds are so boring.
37:58He let out a sigh and eventually gave up.
38:01He should let Quinn do what he wanted.
38:03Fex was grateful to him, he saved his life after all.
38:09Come on, you two.
38:11Let's go.
38:12Fex said, leading them towards the market.
38:16After the others had gone.
38:18Nate and Sam looked for a quiet place where maybe they could grab some food and drink to
38:22talk.
38:23You're not hungry?
38:25Nate asked.
38:27Even after all that fighting.
38:29It's okay, I have a bit of a special diet, Quinn replied.
38:34After ordering and waiting for the food to come.
38:37Sam and Nate wanted to get straight to the point.
38:40I think I understand why you're here, Nate said.
38:44But tell us man, why are you hiding your abilities?
38:48Channel Red Novel Chapter 555, Against the Big Three.
38:53The question was an unexpected one for Quinn.
38:56Not that he thought they would never ask it, but it was just every time in the past, as
39:01the Blood Evolver or Quinn himself, the first question Nate would usually ask was, when can
39:06we fight?
39:08Honestly, he would have preferred that to be the actual question over the one asked right
39:12now.
39:13It would have been a lot easier for him to answer.
39:16Honestly, Quinn was also looking forward to a little fight after being pounded by Linda.
39:21Both Sam and Nate could see that Quinn was hesitating.
39:26It shouldn't have been something so hard, yet it was.
39:30Nate knew they weren't too close, but he felt like they had a connection for a lot longer
39:34than they actually did.
39:36He had met Quinn in the game a long time ago before seeing him in real life and had been
39:41following him ever since.
39:43You don't have to explain yourself if you don't want to, Nate said.
39:46But it will make it easier for us.
39:50In a way, we're putting our backs on the line.
39:53Sooner or later they are going to know that we already know you.
39:57If they find out we were covering you for whatever reason, then we could get in trouble.
40:02If we understand why you're doing this, maybe we can help you out.
40:06You don't have to tell us why you have two abilities, but was wondering why you at least
40:10chose to hide them.
40:12You could have just shown one of them, right?
40:15No one else knows you're the blood evolver.
40:18So I understand if you showed the red aura skills then someone from the inter-tournament
40:22recognized you as the cursed child, it would confuse things.
40:27But then just show the shadow.
40:29Out of the two abilities, the one Quinn couldn't really show was the blood one.
40:35This was because it belonged to the vampires and he wasn't the only one who could perform
40:39this.
40:40If others found out, then most likely Kaz would report him trying to use this against him.
40:45As for the shadow ability, was it something he really needed to hide?
40:50Yes, if the military knew he was alive, they would try to recruit him because of what they
40:55had seen at the inter-tournament.
40:57But if he showed his ability, he would rise up, the Grey Lash family would find out about
41:03it and protect him for joining them.
41:05He didn't have to worry, and he would complete his goal.
41:09Thinking of this scenario, Quinn didn't want that.
41:12He didn't want to be protected by another faction.
41:16Listening to someone else and not moving about as he wished.
41:20He had figured out his own answer through these two.
41:23I didn't want to show my ability because I didn't come here to stand out and join a faction,
41:28Quinn replied.
41:29You see how I'm here on my own.
41:32The others went to other places to be with their families.
41:36Each one of them is under a different faction.
41:39It annoyed me that we couldn't stay together.
41:42Just after I...
41:43Quinn stopped himself there, as he was about to mention saving Fex from the vampire world.
41:49Just as they had gotten back together again, they all needed to split up.
41:53I saw your messages, and I came here because I wanted to see you guys, to be with people
41:59I knew at least.
42:01For now, I just want to stay put until I figure things out, I don't want to be thrown into
42:06another situation I can't control.
42:09It was crazy how, before when he didn't have power, he couldn't do as he wished.
42:13Now that he did have powers, some people would try to use his power for their own benefit.
42:20Nate scratched his head and was pulling his face like this was a tough one for him.
42:25Sam was looking at him, wondering if he really understood Quinn's feelings.
42:30Sam didn't really understand them either, he couldn't because he knew Quinn was holding
42:34back something from them.
42:35The way I see it, Nate said.
42:38If you don't really want to be part of any faction, but you want to be with your friends,
42:42right?
42:43But of course, they have to go off somewhere to feel protected.
42:48Quinn's eyes opened.
42:50This was precisely the way he felt.
42:53Then there is a simple answer for all of this.
42:56Nate replied with a smile on his face.
42:59Make your own faction.
43:00As long as you're strong enough and there are people willing to follow you, that's all
43:05you need.
43:06Don't be crazy, dot.
43:09Sam shouted.
43:11Do you know how much it costs to just run one of these places?
43:15First, you would need a base.
43:18Somewhere big enough to house not only your people but their families as well.
43:22Keep in mind that most planets already have several factions on them, good luck finding
43:27that.
43:27You would need the resources, the credits, the beast crystals.
43:33And you would have to recruit people to get strong enough to eventually be as big as one
43:37of the big three.
43:39Why do you think all the medium-sized factions joined up with the big three in the first place?
43:44I didn't say it was easy, Nate replied.
43:47I just gave him the answer.
43:50Thinking about it, Quinn realized wasn't this what Arthur had done.
43:54Arthur had chosen to go away from the others, from everything.
43:58He took his people away, the ones he cared about and decided to protect them.
44:03However, there was a big difference between him and Arthur right now.
44:08Arthur had the strength to protect those around him.
44:11He could deal with the vampires and the humans.
44:15Quinn was strong, but he wasn't that strong.
44:17Clenching his fist, he thought, yet.
44:21The one thing he had during his time on Earth, was time.
44:25Time to get stronger.
44:27And the things that Sam was talking about, didn't Quinn have all of them?
44:32Quinn had the ship.
44:34It was able to house around 2,000 people.
44:36The hardest part would be recruiting those to join, but they could always start small for starters.
44:43He could start by inviting Logan, Vorden, and the two girls over, they could bring their family as well.
44:50Right now, everyone was in a faction.
44:53If a new force started to take away people and was beginning to come into power, one of the big three would attempt to take it down.
45:00So if he was going to go through with this, he needed to do it discreetly.
45:05Nate and Sam continued to bicker over the crazy idea.
45:09Every time Sam would bring up a counter-argument, Nate would oversimplify it.
45:14The reason why Sam was getting so riled up was because Nate was making sense.
45:19His answers made sense, but he was thinking about the risks.
45:23From the corner of his eye, he could see a smile on Quinn's face.
45:28You're going to do it, aren't you?
45:30Nate asked.
45:31The plan had stayed the same as before.
45:35First, he would lay low while he found out the everyday doings of the factions.
45:40Complete quest rank up and build the funds to purchase some necessary items for the ship.
45:46While doing this, he could complete a quest to get stronger, defeating the beast gave him tons of new EXP for a level up.
45:53Then it didn't matter if he showed his shadow powers or not.
45:57If the Grey Lash family were interested in him, he could decide there and then
46:02to join them or chose to leave at a later time, or he could decline their invitation.
46:07If they hated him for either one, tried to force him or do otherwise.
46:12Then he would take the fight to them.
46:15Great.
46:16Nate said as he stood up from the table.
46:19I knew you were different when I met you, Quinn.
46:22You're just like me.
46:24You don't want to rely on the powers of others you want to make your own path.
46:29While I want to have a great legacy, a great name for myself, you just want to protect those you care about.
46:34Now there is one thing you need to do if you want to compete with the big boys.
46:40You're going to have to get hella strong.
46:43Come on, let's go.
46:45Nate said, already walking off, more excited than he had ever been before.
46:50Nate had grand ambitions, but he would never try to do something like starting his own faction.
46:56With all the troubles and possible risks, that's something crazy people did, and Nate wasn't crazy.
47:01But whenever he met up with Quinn, he wanted to do crazy things.
47:07Who knows, for now, he would go along, and maybe even join this crazy ride.
47:13Wait, where are you going?
47:15What about the others?
47:17Quinn asked as he could see Nate was walking in the base's direction and not to the market.
47:23Sam can go get them, Nate replied.
47:26Invite them along, you and your friends are all going to want to learn this.
47:30Because me and you, we're going to learn how to use a soul weapon.
47:35Soul weapon
47:36Learning a soul weapon would significantly boost one's strength.
47:41Quinn had seen it when he fought against Duke, and he had seen it when he fought against Paul and his men.
47:47It was one of the weapons and strengths humans had over the vampires.
47:51That's right, it was something that humans had that vampires didn't.
47:55Although Quinn would have loved to have a soul weapon.
47:58He wasn't even sure if he could really have one or not.
48:02If he could, it would just give him another tool that he could use, to strengthen his power.
48:08Let's go, Quinn said.
48:09Thanks for watching and subscribe my channel.
