For a brief moment, Quinn had forgotten about the world of Abilities.
A world where people didn't try to get up on one another for the sake of things so petty as mere pride.
It was at that moment that Tsukuru turned around, seeing the blades in Quinn's gut.
"Quinn!" Tsukuru yelled, worried about his friend and roommate.
Slowly, his head turned towards Loop, a dark expression on his face.
"Don't look at me!" Loop said, waving his hands frantically. "I had no part in this!"
Back with Quinn, he looked down, and saw the two blades stuck in his stomach, blood dripping off of the blades.
Fei had let go of the blades and took a step back, his mouth wide open, acting like everything that had just happened was an accident.
But Quinn and Tsukuru weren't buying it. They both had a good idea what had happened.
Thanks to Tsukuru's "Scanner" function and Quinn's Inspect Skill, they both knew that Brandon had a Wind Ability.
Looking back at Brandon, they could both see a satisfied smirk on his face.
Quinn then grabbed the top halves of both of the blades, and snapped them in two, much like Brandon's spear yesterday.
With the broken halves still in his stomach, Quinn started walking towards Fei.
"So you want to play games, then?" Quinn growled. "Then, let's play games. Since you've taken some of my blood, it's only fair that I take some of yours."
Hearing those words, Fei instinctively took a step back, seeing the look on Quinn's face.
Tsukuru, seeing that Quinn was making a certain movement with his hands, had his eyes shoot wide open in surprise.
He knew that stance.
As well as the certain Skill that followed.
'Shit!' Tsukuru thought.
"Blood Swi-" Quinn hissed, but halfway through activating the Skill, his hand was knocked away mid-motion by a Beast blade.
More specifically, a katana.
"Enough." Leo said, pointing his sword towards Quinn. "Stop, now. Two wrongs do NOT make a right!"
Leo's gaze then shifted towards Fei and Brandon.
"And you two! Don't think that little stunt of yours went unnoticed!"
His eyes then narrowed at Brandon.
"And I already gave you a warning for attacking a fellow student earlier."
He turned back to staring at both Brandon and Fei.
"I will not have students who can't follow the rules of my class. Leave your weapons here. You two are both banned from any more combat classes in the Weapons Hall!"
Just then, two military men appeared out of nowhere, standing behind Quinn and Tsukuru.
Tsukuru, knowing that these men appeared whenever a student needed to be transported to the doctor's office, moved out of their way.
Leo turned to the two men.
"Take him to the doctor's office and make sure he gets treated." Leo ordered.
"Wait!" Layla yelled, as she ran towards them. "Maybe I should go with him, to make sure he's okay."
Layla then felt a hand on her arm.
Looking down, she saw it was Tsukuru.
"He'll be fine, Layla." He said assuringly.
Leo nodded.
"Your friend is correct." Leo agreed. "He's a strong boy, he can take care of himself."
Layla had a conflicted look on her face.
Although she was worried about Quinn being hurt, that wasn't her main concern.
It looked as though Quinn had lost a lot of blood.
Even if Vampires could heal, that energy had to come from somewhere, and soon, that energy would need to be replaced.
Tsukuru and Layla watched as the two men grabbed Quinn by either arm, and teleported him out of the room.
It was then that Tsukuru turned back to Loop.
Loop gulped seeing his annoyed look.
"You may have not been a part of their plan." Tsukuru growled, tightening his grip on his daggers. "But you're still friends with the assholes who hurt my friend."
Tsukuru assumed a slightly more aggressive fighting stance.
"Sorry, but I'm gonna be using you to get some of this anger out."
Loop gulped in fear, suddenly feeling small in front of the boy, which was strange, seeing as how he was actually taller than him.
As soon as the two men had grabbed Quinn's arms, he found himself teleported to the doctor's office.
"Please get some rest once you are healed up." One of the men said, before the two teleported away.
'What a handy Ability.' Quinn thought to himself.
After checking that the men had disappeared, Quinn decided to head to the closest bathroom on the same floor.
Nearly all the students were in Combat Classes at the moment, so the halls were empty.
The reason why Quinn had decided to head to the bathroom rather than the doctor's office was because he could already feel his body being healed.
And his Status Screen also confirmed that fact.
[HP: 12/20]
Just like before, as soon as Quinn was out of combat, his body was starting to heal at an incredibly fast rate.
Quinn looked down and it looked like his body had healed most of the wounds.
However, it wasn't able to heal where the blades were stuck.
"This is going to hurt." Quinn muttered.
Luckily, since Quinn was still wearing his gauntlets, he didn't have to grab the blades with his bare hands.
"1, 2, 3!" He then pulled the blades out as fast as he could in one, swift motion.
The pain was quick and sharp, but Quinn did everything he could to hold in the screams.
Finally, the wounds around his stomach were slowly beginning to heal, before a new set of three overlapping System messages appeared in front of him.
[Your hunger grows.]
[HP: 15/20]
[You will no longer heal. Your HP will continue to decrease by 1 HP every hour until human blood has been consumed.]
Quinn was looking at the System messages, and was trying to figure out what had happened.
When he did his tests, he found out that he would only need to consume blood once every two days.
Then, he realized something.
Every time he had healed an injury, he had always felt a growing hunger within him.
It seemed that whenever he was injured, his body would use the energy he received from drinking blood for the healing process.
Then, he would need to replace the used energy by drinking more blood.
Just as he thought, Quinn then felt a growing pain in his stomach, a growing hunger.
Quinn looked at himself in the mirror.
His clothes were all bloody, and he was in slight pain, but he forced a smile.
That's when he noticed that his top two teeth had grown slightly, like slightly elongated canines.
'Right…' Quinn thought. 'I'm a Vampire now.'
Quinn had gotten used to tasting blood, and he already knew who his next two targets were going to be tonight.
Quinn noticed that his hunger pangs were a bit more bearable this time.
Perhaps due to him being in such a critical condition.
After heading back to his dorm room, Quinn threw his bloody clothes on the floor, and changed clothes into a new outfit.
While Quinn was changing clothes, he heard the sound of two students talking as they walked down the hall.
"Why did I get kicked out as well?!" Fei complained. "You were the one who used an Ability!"
Brandon snapped his head towards him.
"Hey, you were perfectly fine with the plan when I told you about it earlier!" Brandon snarled. "Why are you bitching about it now?!"
Fei narrowed his eyes.
"You were the one who dragged me into it because you got embarrassed not only a Level 1, but a Level 2, as well!" Fei sneered.
Instantly, Brandon slammed Fei against the wall, holding him by his collar.
"Do I need to remind you that I'm a higher Level than you, Fei?!" Brandon snarled. "Or do we need to fight so you remember your place?!"
Fei said nothing, and Brandon eventually let go of his collar.
That's when Fei decided to walk off in the opposite direction, away from the dorms.
However, he suddenly stopped, and craned his neck to look back at Brandon.
"I thought we were friends, Brandon." Fei muttered, hurt. "Not just some lackey you can control just because I'm a lower Level than you."
That's when Brandon entered his dorm room, slamming it violently behind him.
Fei grit his teeth in anger.
"Asshole." He muttered under his breath, and stomped off in another direction.
Back in his own dorm room, Quinn smiled.
"Oh, what's this?" Quinn asked. "A 'lover's quarrel'? Perfect."
