Chapter 1012 - Who, who, who (1/2)

Out in the hunting field, it was almost time for the students to finish up with their first hunt. They were down to the final fifteen minutes, and even though it was exhausting for them, they needed to slug through if they had any chances or hopes of becoming one of the top classes.

After the hunt was done, they would go to meet Head general Innu, who was in charge of the expedition.

Innu wanted to count the number of crystals each class got in front of them all to see how well each group did. The Shelter didn't have a space large enough for all the students and teachers to gather, so instead, Innu had picked a different place for them all to meet. It was located outside the Shelter not too far from it, a zone that was void of beasts, and even if there were some, basic tier beasts would be too afraid of a gathering of that size to do anything.

During this hunt, what had surprised Quinn was the fighting that had happened moments ago between his students and others. When he had been called, he expected one of the teachers to talk back to him. However, everything was solved with him just appearing.

Even he was surprised about this.

'I guess showing your power off once in a while can be a good thing.' Quinn thought with a smile.

'Careful there.' Vincent said. 'You don't want to turn into them, do you? It would be best if you also heard both sides of the story before just claiming your students were in the right, no matter how likely it might be the other side.'

'I know, I know, it's just nice to not have any arguments for a change.' Quinn replied, but his voice at the end started to trail off. The reason being, a scent had entered his nose. It wasn't just any scent either. It was clearly one of another vampire.

Turning his head around, he attempted to see where it was. Maybe Fex had come back or someone else, but he didn't see any of them. Eventually, Quinn spotted someone in the desert off in the distance. Slowly making their way to Quinn and the students.

'What do I do? It's a vampire, all the way out here. Why would one be here, and he's coming towards the students. I have to stop him or see what they're doing here.' Quinn thought.

However, he couldn't just leave the students alone unattended.

”Peter!” Quinn shouted. Although Peter wasn't acting as Quinn's assistant in this little assessment, his hunting ground wasn't too far away from theirs, and he was hoping he would hear his call.

It didn't take long for Peter to be running across the desert, kicking up piles of sand as he ran heavy-footed towards Quinn's side.

”You called me?” Peter asked, but it didn't take that long for him to see what Quinn was looking at. Although, it was hard to make out precisely what the figure looked like due to the heat waves warping the image of the man.

”I need you to look after the students while I go and see if this is trouble,” Quinn replied.

”That's okay, my teacher doesn't need me. I kept looking for a chance to leave.” Meanwhile, Peter's teacher was actually tossing and turning, looking everywhere for him. He hadn't said a word about leaving. Still, she wasn't worried. He was the unkillable zombie, after all.

”But Quinn, let me know if you need back up,” Peter said.

Walking out into the desert, Quinn was wondering who he would meet. For some reason, his heart was beating rapidly.

'I think I caught a glimpse, but I can't be sure.' Quinn thought.

The students who saw their teacher Hardy leave, when he reached a certain point, it was as if Hardy had just disappeared, and it was true for Peter as well. Looking out in the desert, he now couldn't see a thing, the man he saw before or Quinn.

”Don't worry everyone, get back to work. You guys want to win this beast hunting coalition, right!?”

When Quinn had finally arrived, he was standing opposite the man, they both looked at each other, and he could now see who it was clearly. The man had a curly moustache, and his hair was done up in a ponytail, but everything else Quinn had seen before.

The deep wrinkles on his forehead, the narrowness of his eyes and the confident look he had with him at all times.

”At least you aren't quick to act and attack me like that other one, so should I introduce myself?” The man asked.

Quinn shook his head.
