When Archer[Quinn] had first come in and made the request, he had explained that his system had hidden the level of his actual Skill[ability]. It made sense why he needed to adjust the score on the watch. This was why when Tobias[Logan] saw Tony[Peter] and they had made the same request… it secretly made Tobias[Logan] happy inside.
He thought that perhaps Tony[Peter] had been put under the same type of system that Archer[Quinn] had. He saw Archer[Quinn] as a friend now and was happy to help him, but his urge to find out about the system far surpassed that of their weak bond.
When touching Tony[Peter], he realized how he was quickly disappointed, he didn't have the same reaction as he did when touching Archer[Quinn]. Which meant right now, he couldn't think of a reason why Tony[Peter] would need to change his level? If it was something as simple as to avoid others from bullying him, it was too risky to do.
Once they found out how weak he was they would report him and the watch would be replaced. The only thing he could think of was, Archer[Quinn] and Tony[Peter] were hiding something from him. So he came up with a plan to implant a recording device into the watch.
At first, he was originally going to do this with Archer[Quinn], however, he quickly felt him and Archer[Quinn] get close together. He enjoyed the small conversations they would have. He decided it wasn't right to invade his privacy and believed Archer[Quinn] would eventually tell him.

It was time for the two to split up, Tony[Peter] would head to the elemental class with Zamier[Vorden] while Archer[Quinn] would head to his normal Weapons class.
For the start of the lesson, they continued to go through the kicks that had been done the other day. Archer[Quinn] worked on perfecting them while in his head imagining the feeling of blood swipe going through his legs.
Usually, he would just have to think about activating the skill and the system would do the rest for him. The energy inside his body moved on its own but he could still feel everything that happened were only automatic.
If he wanted to combine his blood swipe with his leg techniques he had to recreate that feeling in his legs while throwing out a kick. It was too bad his mind had been preoccupied with other things, otherwise, Archer[Quinn] would have loved to test it out right now.
While practising though he noticed once again that Arian[Fex] was standing by his own. Not a single person had approached him. It was to the point where Arian[Fex] was just lying about and looking at the ceiling in boredom.
Now Simon[Leo] didn't do anything about students who didn't want to learn. In his opinion, in the end, it really was up to them if they wanted to participate or not. However, if they were to disturb the class he would deal with them.
Seeing this Archer[Quinn] decided to approach Arian[Fex]. HE didn't feel like Arian[Fex] was a bad person but more like a child who didn't know what was right and wrong. IF Archer[Quinn] could just approach him and get close maybe he could learn more about the vampires that might be after him.
"Hey, do you want a spar?" Archer[Quinn] asked.
Arian[Fex] got up from the floor and looked around him, noticing that there was only one person Archer[Quinn] could have been speaking to. "Who, me?" Arian[Fex] asked, tilting his head a bit.
Archer[Quinn] nodded. "Maybe I can use my full strength against you this time?"
"Yeah, right. But if you insist on an arse kicking then I'll be happy to give you one." Arian[Fex] replied with a smile.
Arian[Fex] was a good fighter and Archer[Quinn] was hoping to learn from him, if in the future he really did become his enemy it would be useful to learn how not only he fought, but how others fought as well. There was also the fact that recently Archer[Quinn] had gotten a stat boost, he knew he wasn't as powerful as Arian[Fex] yet, but maybe slowly as he consumed more people's blood he could change that.
The two of them sparred using the kicking techniques only and Simon[Leo] also noticed that Arian[Fex] could actually perform the kicks quite well. IT seemed like he was performing them badly before just because he didn't want to.
Still, the two of them knew not to show their true strength or speed otherwise the others around them would start to get suspicious.
While Rebecca[Layla] and Gyro[Erin] were practising their kicks against each other, Rebecca[Layla] noticed Gyro[Erin] was incredibly distracted and was constantly looking over at where Archer[Quinn] and Arian[Fex] was. She was never interested in Archer[Quinn] before, even after learning he was a vampire. So it had to mean she was looking at Arian[Fex] instead.
After last night she tried to repeat the movements while she was under control multiple times but they just weren't right. She wanted to feel them one more time, she felt like she was close but something was just missing.
But as she looked at Arian[Fex]'s face it filled her with disgust. She would never allow herself to be controlled by another person.

In another training hall, the elemental class was taking place again. Voden and Tony[Peter] did their usual thing keeping their distance from one another but at the same time not too far. The lessons usually started off with an explanation, demonstration and then students would try to replicate what they were being taught.
At the end of each lesson, there was free time. Students could practise fighting against each other, or practise on their own trying to perfect and get a hang of their skills.
So far the whole lesson had passed without anything happening, and it was only in the last part that the same men that approached Tony[Peter] the other day, had approached him once again.
"So Tony[Peter], I see you finally reached the level two earth Skill[ability], but your progress is a little slow don't you think?" The student who had approached had quite a skinny frame and it looked like he hardly had any fat on him. His face was even sunken in by the cheekbones.
It was as if fate had decided how he would look from birth, for the name given to him by his parents was Bones. Although Bones himself didn't look intimidating, Zamier[Vorden] could see he was confident when approaching Tony[Peter].
While looking around he saw a couple of other students also looking in their direction. They were probably working for Wesley[Duke] as well.
"The Wesley[Duke] wants to make sure that you progress as fast as possible, and the easiest way of doing that is through a practical assessment wouldn't you agree? Why don't the two of us have a little spar?"
Although Zamier[Vorden] wasn't close enough to hear what they were saying, he was able to tell they were in some sort of trouble just from the look on Tony[Peter]'s face. Then when he saw them walking off in a certain direction and clearing a space around the two of them Zamier[Vorden] knew what was happening.
They wanted to test his abilities when Tony[Peter] had no abilities.
To be continued....
