A rare expression was seen on a student's face today, one who rarely did ever show his emotions, but he was over the moon. Why, because the long-awaited project that he had been working on for the whole year now was finally complete.
Tobias[Logan] sat down in his chair, looking at the green screen. A nine-digit sequence of numbers was shown, and it meant he had finally cracked the code.
If he wanted to, right now, he could open up the oddly shaped square teleporter, input the code and it would take him to the destination on the other side.
'So this was created by Francis[Richard] Ryo[Eno], huh? I wonder where you lead?' Tobias[Logan] thought.
Truthfully right now more than anything he just wanted to jump into the teleporter, but there were a few things that needed to be done before that happened. The first thing, he couldn't just leave in the middle of the school term, summer would be coming soon, and that would be his best chance to travel to the unknown place. While the second was a question of how to get back.
The military didn't sell teleporters that came back to the base. But it shouldn't be too much a problem for Tobias[Logan]. He could always travel to the unknown planet, and If there was a teleporter leading there, they should be one leading elsewhere and then eventually they could update the school on their location before coming back.
All students were in some way required to notify them, of where they were towards the end of thier summer. In most cases, students would be asked to all meet up in a particular area.
Thankfully, Tobias[Logan] was a VIP student, so he had special privileges which would allow them to come and collect him from wherever he was.
+BANG
Suddenly, the sound of Tobias[Logan]'s door was heard being slammed wide open. There was no knock, no nothing, and it truthfully startled him.
"Don't touch that teleporter!" Archer[Quinn] shouted, imagining in his head that Tobias[Logan] had already gone in.
A few moments ago, when Tobias[Logan] returned to his room, he had seen the green screen, and as promised, he had sent a message to Archer[Quinn].
Archer[Quinn] tried his best to make his way there as fast as possible, afraid that perhaps Tobias[Logan] would be too tempted to do some type of test.
'What if he's already gone in, what if it all goes wrong? Maybe I should have told him where it led to. He might have even accidentally connected them to us.'
But in the end, it was all in his head, and Tobias[Logan] was peacefully in his chair.
"Archer[Quinn], can you please not do that. What if I was working on something important and you jolted me. You're lucky I was alone in my thoughts." Tobias[Logan] replied, but the two sides of his mouth suddenly rose up once again to show a creepy smile.
"Is that a smile?" Archer[Quinn] asked. When looking at him, it looked more like a creepy doll smiling, where its teeth weren't showing.
The two of them sat down and talked, and Tobias[Logan] explained to Archer[Quinn] how he thought it would be best to use the teleporter in the summer. This was it, for Archer[Quinn]. He had been trying his best to figure out how to stop Tobias[Logan] from using it, but in the end, the only thing he could do was tell the truth.
"Tobias[Logan], I don't think it's a good idea we use the teleporter, and before you ask why. It's because I know where it goes. When Arian[Fex] was here, he spotted it in an instant, and he gave me a warning. These square-shaped teleporters, there all linked back to where the vampire's homes are."
Tobias[Logan] remained silent, the smile on his face wasn't present anymore, and he placed his hand on his chin. It was his thinking pose, and Archer[Quinn] knew not to interrupt while Tobias[Logan] was thinking.
"Isn't this a good thing then?" Tobias[Logan] replied with a surprising answer. "I mean, now we have a way to save Tony[Peter], right?"
"What are you saying, Tobias[Logan], " Archer[Quinn] replied. "Look I want to save Tony[Peter] as well, but I think for once you're letting your emotions get the better of you. Why didn't you try to save him in the dungeon in the first place? It was because we had no information on the school dungeon, and it was risky.
"The place where the vampires live, we know absolutely nothing at all, say we were able to get there and sneak in. Then what would you do about your smell? Vampires and humans have a distinctive smell from each other, and it seems to go even beyond that. I know you want to help Tony[Peter], and I do to… but not now."
"Correct Archer[Quinn], not now which was why I was suggesting in the summer, " Tobias[Logan] explained. "Your growth in strength so far has been rapid, don't think I haven't noticed. I made some rough calculations in my mind, and I have never seen anything like it before.
"Eventually the vampires will come after us, right? But we have no clue when, and we have no clue where yet they know about you and you don't know about them. This is the chance for us to gather the information needed, whats one vampire among..." For a moment Tobias[Logan] stopped there realising he had no clue how many vampires they were.
"My point is, Sometimes the best hiding place is one right under their noses. Between now and then, do whatever you can to get stronger, cause I'm telling you, Archer[Quinn], I have made up my mind. I'm going.
"This isn't just about Tony[Peter]. Of course, I feel like I failed him many times and want to help him, but this also goes down to my research. This is my whole life, not just mine but my families as well."
"Tobias[Logan]!" Archer[Quinn] shouted, but could see when looking at him, his expression was one of determination, he was going to go through that teleporter no matter what.
"Tobias[Logan]…I'll think about it."
"Will you tell the others?" Tobias[Logan] asked.
"Did you guys tell me when they came to get Tony[Peter]? Honestly, this matter doesn't involve them." Archer[Quinn] replied.
"I would disagree with you Archer[Quinn]. Your shadow Skill[ability] is a trait that only vampires can use correct? The second Zamier[Vorden] declared that his family was protecting that Skill[ability], his whole family is now involved whether you like it or not. Tony[Peter], he was changed and became a vampire because of you, and now Rebecca[Layla] the same. They have nowhere to go now and no one to rely on but you.
"The only person that still isn't directly involved in this mess is me, but I am volunteering and choosing to go. You don't have to make up your mind now, but I think I already know what your answer in the summer will be, so Archer[Quinn] get stronger, get as strong as you can, and if there's any way I can help let me know."
'Damn it, can he read my mind or something.' Archer[Quinn] had already decided. Too many of the people around him were leaving because of him, if Tobias[Logan] was to go to the vampire world, he would do anything he could to protect him, he didn't want another one of those who were close to him to disappear.
"Oh, before you go, about that scent thing, " Tobias[Logan] said. "I was wondering after the trick Arian[Fex] pulled to disguise the smell and trick them into thinking Tony[Peter] was you, I was wondering if maybe there was some way to replicate it. All I need is a bit of your blood."
'Wel, this is a change, usuelly I'm the one asking other people for blood, but here Tobias[Logan]'s asking for mine.'
"Sure go ahead, " Archer[Quinn] replied.
After taking some of Archer[Quinn]'s blood, it was stored away in what looked like a specialized fridge. The computer screen started to do its thing as it was analyzing the contents inside it. While watching everything Tobias[Logan] was doing, it made Archer[Quinn] think.
"I remember you did quite well in the crafting tournament if I gave you some advance crystals do you think you could make me a pair of new gauntlets."
Once again, Tobias[Logan] placed his hand on his chin as he thought.
"The problem isn't making them. I can pretty much make anything since I can just look for a standard blueprint online. The problem is, I'm not a forger. Although I would say I'm better than the average forger, I also don't come close to those at the top. Not once have I ever when creating a weapon or armour have I been able to create an active skill along with it."
'Is it what Simon[Leo] was talking about, how the top foragers without even realizing it, are implementing a part of their Qi while making the weapon.'
"Do you know anyone who can?" Archer[Quinn] asked.
"Sadly I do not."
If he allowed Tobias[Logan] to make the gauntlets for him, he thought it would just be a waste in the end, but he could always use it as a last resort. Then while in the middle of thinking, Archer[Quinn] started to think about his boots.
[Shadow equip]
The Shadow surrounded his legs and his boots suddenly appear around his two feet. These were the only items that he owned which had the active skill wind walk.
[Inspect]
When using his inspect skill, the basic information about the stat points, the active skill and finally the name of the creator appeared.
'I think I have a way to find a good forger.' Archer[Quinn] said.
