With a single click, from the computer, a hologram displayed all the information about the sub class known as "Hannya" to the group. They were all currently inside Tobias[Logan]'s room.
When asked what Rebecca[Layla] was, Archer[Quinn] found it hard to answer without making himself seem suspicious. He didn't know a lot about vampires in the first place, and all his knowledge before could be said that it came from Arian[Fex].
The only person that knew about the System and some of the system skills was Tobias[Logan]. The suggestion had been made that perhaps they could find something online. So as they planned to head to Tobias[Logan]'s room to do some research, Archer[Quinn] told him beforehand what Rebecca[Layla] really was.
"Based on the algorithm taken from the photos of Rebecca[Layla]'s face, it seems like my genius AI system was able to come up with something. The AI cross references and matches the details with folklore tales related to vampires in one way or another, " Tobias[Logan] said as he gave a quick wink to Archer[Quinn] while nobody was paying attention to him.
Rebecca[Layla] and the others begin to read the information shown. What was written out was precisely the same as what had been displayed from Archer[Quinn]'s System.
"Emotional? Me?" Rebecca[Layla] said suddenly, but she realized that she was just letting what the screen said now prove her wrong. So correcting herself, she tried her best to hold everything in. She cleared her throat and started again. "Okay, say I am this Hannya demon thing; the only thing I don't really understand is the feeding off negative emotions part."
"If I was to take a guess, " Zamier[Vorden] said. "I would say it's one of two things. Just as Archer[Quinn] gets pleasure from blood, you might be able to feed off the aura of negative or sad people. Or there is the second option, you feed by making people negative."
The others didn't say anything, but they felt like Zamier[Vorden] was spot on with his deduction. That line could only be interpreted like that, and they just hoped it wasn't the second one. However, the first part might prove difficult as well. Where were they meant to find negative people? Would they have to go around the school looking for someone who had just broken up? Or perhaps start calling people names.
"Don't worry too much about this." The System said to Archer[Quinn], seeing his concern. "Remember what I said about category C? Unlike ghouls or vampires who need blood or flesh to survive, the Hannya don't need negative emotions to live; this is just what powers them and allows them to evolve eventually."
That was another thing that Archer[Quinn] worried about, evolving. He remembered that there was also a chance that Tony[Peter] could have evolved into the Wendigo. Perhaps what Rebecca[Layla] would evolve into wasn't exactly a good thing.
"So do you know if they feed on negative emotions or feed by creating negative emotions?" Archer[Quinn] asked.
"Ha, ha, this was why I didn't want to butt in, but I felt the need to. I don't remember." The System replied.
'Useless as always.' Archer[Quinn] thought.
"So based on the information, unlike Archer[Quinn] and Tony[Peter], you won't have abnormal strength or speed, " Tobias[Logan] explained. "But instead magical abilities, perhaps in a way similar to Archer[Quinn]'s blood abilities. What about your Skill[ability] from before? Can you still use that?" Tobias[Logan] asked.
She shook her head in response.
"No, I already tried on the way over here, it's completely gone, but it was expected." She replied.
"Well, have you thought about what Skill[ability] you do want?" Zamier[Vorden] asked. "Now's the time for a fresh new leaf; we don't know if telekinesis is compatible with vampires or not, but even so, if you really want to, you could choose a completely new Skill[ability]."
Rebecca[Layla] continued to fidget and play with the small bumps on top of her head as she thought about it. If she moved her hair to the side of her face, it would slightly cover them up, but a hairband or bandanna would be best as well.
'What would mom's reaction be if she saw this?'
Then she started to think about her bow; it was an item gifted and given to her by her mother before she came to the academy.
"I think it would be best to still have an Skill[ability] that compliments my bow." Said Rebecca[Layla]. "We don't really know how this magic works, but if it's like Archer[Quinn]'s blood abilities, it will have a limit before they can be used again. So it's best to have a backup to use in any case scenario. And a melee weapon doesn't really suit me since I didn't get any stronger in the other departments. But I'm not sure if I want to stick to telekinesis or not.
"Maybe after using my vampire abilities, there might be something more suited for the bow and them together. I'll have to think about it for now."
"I think that's the right choice." Said Zamier[Vorden]. "Well, what are we waiting for? We need to test your powers, right? Let's see what you can do."
"What, here now, but I don't even know how or what to do?" Rebecca[Layla] responded.
Tobias[Logan]'s room was pretty big due to it being one of the VIP rooms. It was even bigger than Zamier[Vorden] and Archer[Quinn]'s room that was meant to house three people inside. So there was plenty of floor space. Still, things were lying all over the floor, and Tobias[Logan] quickly allowed his spiders to get to work clearing everything and putting it to the side.
After a few moments, the floor looked almost brand new.
'Is there anything those spiders can't do?' Zamier[Vorden] thought.
They weren't going to fight so the space was enough. They just needed her to use her skills.
Rebecca[Layla] stood in the middle of the room, and the target of choice for her abilities would be Archer[Quinn]. This was because he had a healing factor that they could rely on, and technically had the strongest body there. He also felt like it was only right to volunteer himself for something like this. Being the person who changed her.
"So, what do I do?" Rebecca[Layla] asked.
"I guess I can explain what I do when I use my blood abilities, " Archer[Quinn] suggested. "You should feel this strange energy in your body swirling around. Try grabbing onto it, then when you release that energy, you have a clear image inside your head of what you think the skill will look like. It's quite similar to how we learn our usual skills from skill books, only you don't have any reference to go on. This kind of just works for me." Archer[Quinn] said.
Tobias[Logan], back on his computer, pretended to have taken and found more information about Hannya, when in reality, it was just what Archer[Quinn] had already told him. He described the characteristics of the power they used and what the two skills might look like. Giving out every bit of detail apart from what the Skill[ability] did.
"That thing is extremely detailed to be up online, " Zamier[Vorden] commented. "Are you sure that vampires didn't write that article?"
"Well, we won't know till we try, will we? I don't think it's accurate, but it allows us to start somewhere." Tobias[Logan] replied. "Unless you have any better ideas?"
Rebecca[Layla] closed her eyes, and nearly instantly, she could feel the strange energy that Archer[Quinn] was talking about. Maybe it was because she no longer had her Skill[ability], and there weren't many other changes to her body apart from this one, but she was able to pick it out straight away.
However, as she thought and grabbed on to this energy more, memories started to appear in her head, memories of her mother. Memories of her time at Pure, and memories of her dear friend Gyro[Erin]. Without realizing it, her face looked sad on the outside, and tears were flowing down them dropping onto the floor. She tried her best to ignore them and started to picture one of the skills—spiritual chain.
The others could see Rebecca[Layla]'s face full of tears and wondered what was happening, but because her eyes were still closed, they didn't want to bother her, then suddenly.
"Spiritual chain." She said as she opened up her eyes. A thick black ball the size of a basketball came shooting out of her hands. It almost looked like a fireball, only black in colour.
On her very first try the attack was a success.
