Chapter 13 School hierarchy
The next day at 8:00 AM the students were woken up by the sound of an alarm in the dorm rooms . It was the signal for everyone to wake up and get dressed . Once everyone was ready, they were to head down to the canteen together for breakfast .
When Quinn woke up, he was greeted with a nice surprise from the system .
cYou have completed your daily Queste
c Avoid direct sunlight for 8 hourse
c Reward 5 expe
c75/100e
The daily quest had reset at midnight and Quinn had slept for 8 hours rewarding him with his exp . Quinn was pleased as this meant he would easily be able to gain 5 exp without having to go out of his way .
Then a rumbling sound came from his belly .
"I'm hungrier than I usually am for some reason, maybe my body really did use up a lot of energy in that fight . " Quinn thought as he headed down to the canteen .
The canteen was a large hall but it was quite plain . In fact, while walking around the school Quinn noticed most of the school was plain . Single white walls, no picture frames, or anything, just windows now and again .
It was the sleek modern clean look that the world had taken . The canteen was then filled with large tables that we're able to seat three people on each side of the table . As soon as Quinn entered though he noticed something straight away .
There were no set seats in the canteen meaning students were free to sit where they liked . This straightaway led to a divide in the school . The low levels sat next to the low levels and the high levels sat with the high levels .
When Quinn was waiting in line with Peter and Vorden they noticed a student come late into the queue . He walked past most of the students and eventually cut into the line ahead of the others . Not one person said a word and the simple reason was he was a higher power level than them .
Quinn hated these types of actions but right now there was nothing he could do . Once the three of them got their food they started looking for a place to eat .
"Why don't we go over there?" Voden pointed at an empty spot .
"Are you sure Vorden?" Peter asked, "That's a level one area, you don't have to sit with us if you don't want to, right Quinn?"
"Yeah don't force yourself," Quinn replied .
"Quit talking nonsense you two, we're friends, I don't care about this stupid power level hierarchy going on . "
The three of them then went to sit down with the other lower levels on a table . The area slowly started to fill up but not one other person had decided to sit on their table . There was a simple reason for this, they were scared of Vorden .
They could see his high-power level and the other low levels wanted to stay away .
As soon as the food was put on the table Quinn started to dig in straight away eating everything that was given to him, even the bits he usually didn't like .
"Hey if you're not going to finish that do you mind if I take it," Quinn asked .
"Sure, go ahead," Peter said .
Quinn not only ate all of his food but also everything the other two had left behind as well . Not only that but Quinn had grabbed 8 bottles of water as he wanted to finish his quest as soon as possible .
He noticed last time when he was in the sun, he sweated more than usual and thanks to the water he drank beforehand, he didn't feel as dehydrated . If they were to go outside again then this would be a big help to Quinn .
"For a skinny guy, you sure did pack down all that food," Vorden said .
Although Quinn had clearly eaten a lot, for some reason he still had a little bit of hunger that wouldn't quite go away . Luckily it was bearable and didn't distract him too much .
cA daily quest has been complete: Drink two liters of water . e
c Reward 5 exp e
c80/100e
Quinn was now only 20 points away from levelling up and he would soon see what benefits that brought him . Then Quinn suddenly remembered that he had learned the inspect skill yesterday and decided to use it on Vorden .
cHP 10/10e
cRace: Humane
cAbility: Nonee
cBlood type: O- e
Quinn paused for a second as he read over what he was seeing . For some reason, the system was stating that Vorden had no ability .
"Hey, Vorden can you still use Erin's ice powers at the moment?"
"Wow, I didn't know you were so interested in me," Vorden said as he rubbed the back of his head . "Actually, my ability resets every day and I haven't touched anyone today . Besides you two of course but you two are duds for my ability . "
With breakfast over, it was time for them to head to class . On the way there in the middle of the hallway Peter and Quinn managed to spot Kyle . Kyle looked like he was in top condition and had completely healed .
As he walked past though he made sure to avoid eye contact .
"Do you think he'll tell the teacher what happened?" Peter whispered .
"No I doubt it, it's embarrassing for him to admit he was defeated by someone weaker then him, plus it will only make him a target if people find out . "
It was time for the first class of the day and they needed to head to their tutor rooms together . Their teacher for the day was Del who was the same person who had shown them around the school .
The students took their seats and just like in the canteen people chose to sit next to those with the same power levels, all but Vorden of course . Vorden decided to sit at the back of the class with the level ones and twos and also chose to sit in between peter and Quinn .
Immediately the other students started to talk .
"What does he think he's doing sitting with those bottom feeders . "
"I saw he sat with them in the canteen as well . "
"Won't this cause a problem for the hierarchy at school, won't the second-year students start to do something?"
"Yeah if he keeps breaking the rules, then they will defiantly step in . "
The difference in treatment wasn't just a school thing, it was a society thing as well . The higher power level you had the better job and more pay you could earn . The more support you would get from the government while the rest were forgotten about .
The ones at the top didn't have a problem with this of course . The lower power levels would do anything they asked just to obtain a new skill from them hoping one day they could increase their power level and anyone who tried to upset this, where quickly silenced .
It was the whole reason why the Pure group existed in the first place . To fight against this system and it was also why they were treated like terrorists .
Del started his lecture which was about the introduction fo the school and the great war .
"When we were losing the great war against the Dalki race that was when they had come forward . We call them the Originals . This was the first time the whole world had been introduced to abilities . Unknown to all of us they had kept these abilities for themselves for hundreds of years only passing it down to their family members .
Thanks to them they shared their abilities with others of the human race but not all of them of course . When we talk about an Original we are either talking about the founders of the ability or a group that decided to not share its abilities to the rest of the world . "
Del then suddenly had a serious look on his face .
"Although we are currently in a time of piece who knows when the war will start again and that is why you are here . "
Once the class had finished it was time for the students to take a break . Vorden, Quinn, and Peter headed outside to grab a snack . As soon as Quinn stepped outside though the usual message had appeared .
cAll stats have been halved . e
The three of them sat by a nearby bench and Quinn once again felt weak .
"Hey are you alright, you look sick again?" Vorden asked, "And your sweating like crazy . "
"Yeah, I just get hot easily," Quinn replied .
The three of them continued to talk about useless things and the experiences they had at school, until suddenly a group of six male students appeared in front of them . Each of them wearing a black arm badge indicating that they were second-year students .
"Looks like the rumours were true . " One of the second-year students said .
"We have some business to discuss with you three, do you mind coming with us?"
