40 A New Targe (1/2)
”*Sigh* don't worry. The first exam will be worth much less than every other one that comes after it. It is mostly there to compare your results from the start of the year to the end of it, to gauge your improvement.” Leo said as soon as he saw the distress on his student's faces.
'The class has been much quieter and more respectful ever since our first practice in the gym. Did I really scare them that hard??' Leo inwardly thought.
Leo spent the rest of the class teaching and demonstrating new martial arts techniques for the class to learn while Moby tried to contact Jayden to tell her the news of what just transpired.
'Hey, Jayden! You wouldn't believe what just happened! Do you know that Abby girl I told you about? The C rank I defeated in my class tournament. Ya, she…'
'I'm so sorry, but can this conversation wait? I'm in the middle of a fight right now. My class finally started to practice fighting in the gym. Just tell me at lunch,' Jayden said interrupting him while heavily panting.
'Ok, then I'll tell you what happened when we meet up at lunch. Good luck in your matches.' Moby said while closing the mind link.
Since Moby was unable to contact Jayden, he just used the time to level up his ”Eyes of Sin” like he usually does.
During Class, he felt like sudden surges of energy were constantly entering his body.

Jayden had gained him a total of 2,250 XP making him only 1000 XP away from levelling up.
'Good job Jayden!' Moby thought with a smile
Suddenly, the bell rang marking the start of lunch.
Moby immediately rushed over to their usual meeting spot, the school roof.
It was one of the few places in the school that is always empty for some reason which made it perfect for their hiding spot.
Also, Moby and Jayden would always communicate using their mind link to avoid the risk of them being eavesdropped on.
Moby made sure he was not being followed as he finally reached the school roof.
There, he found Jayden on the roof with an angry face.
'Shit! Is she angry at me? What did I even do?'
Moby inwardly panicked.
”Hey, what's wrong?” Moby asked in a concerned voice.
”I lost!” She grumbled.
”Her name is Natalia Xane! Her ability is called 'Blink' which allows her to do a quick short-range teleport. I request to make her our next target!” Jayden said with a firm resolve.
Moby took a while to ponder over all the information before he gave his answer to Jayden.
”That would be almost impossible,” Moby said with a sigh.
”Why not!!” Jayden said not even trying to hide her immense disappointment.
”The Forest is currently off-limits for who knows how long and we don't have any other secluded place we can lure her. Also, using my mind control ability on her would be impossible since she has a higher power level than I do. And, I don't think we can lure her into your house like Nathan since I assume she won't be that stupid or if she ever did come, she would bring more than one person with her for protection. Due to her high power level and arrogant attitude, I assume she is from a somewhat important family which makes her an even harder target,” Moby said with a sigh.
Jayden took in everything that Moby just said and she would be lying if she says that it does not make any sense.
”That is true. Her family is far less important than mine but her parents pamper her far more. She is rarely found without high-level bodyguards around her.” Jayden said with a sad expression as some tears started to flow down her cheeks.
Moby does not know why, but seeing Jayden sad like this makes his heart ache a little for some reason. His impulses immediately screamed at him to make her stop crying
Suddenly, Moby gave her a big wide smile immediately brightening the mood while at the same time wiping away the tears from her eyes.
”Did you not hear me correctly? I said 'almost' impossible. We still have a chance during the exam! We will be transported to another world to hunt magical beasts. Her bodyguards would not be able to follow her there and I doubt there would be any teachers who will observe us. It would be the perfect time to do it! All we need to do is find her and lure her away into a secluded area like a cave and we would be all good!” Moby said with a big wide heartwarming smile.
”Th...th...thank you… That plan sounds perfect. I will try my best to endure her and hold myself back until then,” Jayden said with flushed red cheeks.
”Anyways! Now is not the time to feel down! Today is a happy day! We will make so much money from uploading that video online!” Moby said with a laugh.
”Y...yes of course!” Jayden said regaining her normal composure.
She pulled out 2 lunch boxes and handed one over to Moby. Since he would miss his meal every time they met on the roof at lunchtime, Jayden would always prepare an extra lunch for him. Her lunches were made from top-class chefs which tasted 1000 times better than the slob they offer at the cafeteria so Moby definitely has no complaints and instead feels extremely grateful.
