Some time later.
Layla was on the roof, looking up at the sky. She admired the campus from the top of the roof.
Soon, Silver arrived, walking up behind Layla.
"Layla, why are you here? I'm rather surprised. Are you here to enjoy the late-night sky?"
Layla turned around, "Sergeant Silver! I wasn't expecting to see anyone else up here."
Silver responded, "Are you sure about that? It seems like you're waiting for somebody."
Layla responded, "Yes, I was actually waiting for Quinn to show up. He wanted to show me something we both had an interest in, fiction about vampires."
Silver responded, "So he's found his first one to turn, how interesting. I think it's in your best interest to stay here. How about we wait here for the others to arrive, and then we can go over the details."
It was then that Silver's eyes began to glow. Layla, realizing what danger she is in, started panicking at that moment.
Thankfully, Vincent and Kazz showed up.
"Could you stop intimidating her? The girl was just about to have a panic attack right there," Vincent said.
Layla said, "Sergeant Vincent and Sergeant Kazz, it's good to see you two, sir."
As soon as they're done chatting, the 3 boys show up.
Fex said, "You already have your first turn? This is crazy. Aren't you a tad reckless there, Quinn?"
"I see you're jumping to conclusions, but yes, she is my first turn. If she wants to," Quinn retorts.
Silver spoke up, "all right, since we're all here, let's get this over with before the main agenda starts now that everyone has settled in and gotten familiar with their classes and everything."
"We'll be doing some night operations, investigating the criminal underbelly of this school, and recruiting new vampires."
Layla, hearing this, was shocked by the criminal activities at this school. How would it even be allowed? She thought.
Quinn said, "alright Layla. Are you ready to become a vampire? Or do you want to back off from this? Either choice is fine."
Layla knew the responsibility, "I'm fine with this."
"...So what do I need to do?"
Vincent spoke up before he did this. "There are things you have to know now. The ritual is not as deadly as it was in my generation, but it still has its weird quirks and you might be turned into a strange subclass. And not all abilities are compatible with vampires."
"We can have it set up so your ability does transfer to her, but most of the time you're starting from scratch. And just keep this in mind, your previous cap of ability will disappear. To what extent can the ability go? Of course, no one was able to find out if there is a level 9 ability, but that will be something to be confirmed later on in the future."
"Now there are 3 major groupings of vampires: Group A, the typical vampire, and a few odd classes. Vampires come in halfling, vampire, noble vampire, and Vampire Lord, and that's it. The B group is your undeads, and then there is the C group that is your magic base. Luckily enough, there's no chance of death, but there is a chance that the ritual will simply fail to work and you will still be human."
"But that chance is rather small. Are you still willing to do this right now, Layla?"
After Layla pondered over everything, she decided on her choice.
"All right, I'm ready for this," She said.
Quinn was instructed on how to do the ritual from his system. He activated it, turning Layla at that moment. Layla was squirming and twisting; she was clearly in a lot of pain, and then it stopped.
It took her a few moments, but she stood up and asked, "What am I, Quinn?"
[The blood ritual was a success]
[1/2 Family members successfully blooded]
[A new family has been created]
[What would you like to name your family?]
[You have successfully created a Namanari Hannya]
[Namanari Hannya: Hannya are emotional beings. Their powers and strength fluctuate based on their emotions, and they are more sensitive than regular beings.
They are typically prone to jealousy and negativity. They often feed off the negativity of those around them as well to power up their own powers.
Their powers specialize in dark and spiritual magic. This magic can also be used to influence weak-minded women to do their bidding.]
[Current skills]
[Spiritual partner: A link is formed between two people; any attack that would hurt one or the other can be passed on to the other person.
A spiritual partner can be changed at any point and time, but must be in the same zone as the user when being used.]
[Spiritual chains: A ranged attack. A dark black energy ball of negativity is hurled at the target. If successfully hit, it will root the enemy for a certain amount of time.
The chains' time and strength depend on what mental state both the user and opponent are in at the time.]
[Evolutions available: Chunari Hannya, Honnari Hannya]
"A Namanari Hannya?"
Vincent said, "Congratulations, Namanari Hannya. They are truly a great subclass. You will have to learn how to deal with your emotions more than ever before. So it's going to be tough, but you could also take advantage of it, and consume the negative emotions of people around you to make yourself stronger."
"But just be careful if you get too much of it. You can transform right where you are, which might not be a great idea. So, Layla, what is your ability? Do you want to become a higher level? Since you were able to keep your ability through the ritual."
Layla responded, "I would appreciate it if I could push my ability. It is telekinesis. Would you be able to help me out with that?"
Vincent responded. "That could easily be done. I will arrange for books to be delivered to your dorm room."
Layla looked around. "So, am I going to be able to join you for this nighttime activity?"
Silver said, "I think you should take it easy, but if you wanna help out, that's fine."
As they all headed off, it didn't take long before Quinn was finding bullies, stopping many of them from stealing from the low levels, and since a lot of them could not recognize who the person was because of the bodysuit and mask, the students that night created a rumor of the night demons.
The next morning.
Quinn and his roommates went off to their Combat classes. Quinn realized this was going to be a very interesting day.
The room had no decorations apart from mountains, and a mountain of weapons hung up on the wall, and in the centre of the room was a round raised platform.
Standing at the back of the hall was a bald man wearing leather armour with a long katana blade by his side. But the katana blade hilt was jagged and rough, and the back of the blade was the same. It looked like it had been forged from an animal that was not of this planet.
The man remained silent at the back with his eyes closed. Quinn could only assume the man was their teacher, being the oldest one in the room.
The room slowly started to fill up with students, and that's when Layla entered and spotted Quinn. She immediately came over to him and started chatting. Unlike when Vorden had spoken to Quinn, the other students didn't really pay attention because Layla herself was also considered weak.
"This class is a lot more popular than I thought," Layla said.
The room was filled with about thirty students. The other classes had around fifty, but it was still more than they had expected.
"Yeah, I wonder what weapon I should pick," Quinn said, staring at the wall.
"Well, I already have mine," Layla said, pointing to her bow on her back.
A lot of the student in the room already had weapons of their own. Quinn and a couple of others were the only ones who didn't have anything on them. Just then, while Quinn was busy staring at the wall, the other students started to get rowdy as someone entered the weapons hall.
"What is she doing here?"
"Isn't she an elemental user? Why would she be here?"
"Who cares, maybe we can spare with her, and if we beat her, we can ask her on a date."
As Quinn turned around to see who the girl was everyone was talking about, it turns out he had already met her before. It was Erin Heley, the ice ability user.
"I wonder why she decided to go to this class instead of the elemental class?" Layla asked.
Just then, the bald man opened his eyes and shouted at the top of his voice.
"ATTENTION!"
Everyone froze and turned to look at the old man.
"My name is Leo and I will be your teacher for today." Leo then pulled out his katana blade from his sheath and pointed it in front of him. "Your first task will be to pick your weapon, you must think carefully. Your weapon is your lifeline. When your ability won't work the only thing you can rely on is your own skills. Now go and Chose one from the wall around you."
The students fanned out and started to look at weapons. Even those who had beast weapons already were trying out new ones.
Quinn looked at the wall and saw all sorts of things, axe's, short swords, Spiked clubs, whips, Scythes there was so much to choose from Quinn was really having a hard time.
Quinn looked at Layla and her bow. It matched up well with her telekinesis ability. If Quinn was to pick a ranged weapon, he would never be able to be as good as Layla. He needed something that suited him right now and his ability.
Quinn then walked up to one of the random swords on the wall and used his inspect skill.
< Korge Sword >
< Tier Basic Beast weapon >
< Strength + 3
< Agilty – 2>
< The sword is incompatible with the skill "Blood swipe">
The sword Quinn looked at was large in size and looked heavy. Quin needed to be fast so losing some points in agility was a definite no-no. But what surprised him was how much information his inspect skill had given him. It even told him if his blood swipe could be used with it.
Maybe it wouldn't be so hard picking out a weapon after all thanks to Quinn's inspection skill.
As soon as Quinn realised that his inspect skill would tell him the stats of each weapon, he started to go around the room looking for the perfect one for him. Quinn ruled out anything too heavy. Although the strength stat it added was good, Quinn needed to be fast and agile in the night.
All the weapons Quinn had inspected so far were at the basic tier level. The lowest level a weapon could be. Weapons were categorised into eight different levels depending on which beast core it was made with. Of course, this was based on beasts from planets that had already been discovered.
There were sure to be other planets with stronger beasts and abilities that they had yet to find out about, that may be categorised above that. In the human world today, there were two known weapons of this class. The world called them Demon weapons instead.
After searching around the room for a while, Quinn came across a weapon that stood out from the rest.
< Black Horned gauntlets >
< Basic tier Beast weapon>
< This weapon is compatible with the skill "Blood swipe". When used with the gauntlets blood swipe will have an increase of 5% in power.>
The Gauntlets were black in colour and had little tiny horns going up the forearms. The fingertips were pointed and bladed at the ends, which made them look almost like some type of Dragon claw.
