.....SEVENTY SIX

Judging by the tone of Void's voice, it felt like he was going to snap at any second and Layla was prepared for it. She kept her senses on high alert ready to use her ability any second now. Even Graham was unsure about what Void was about to do.

"Void, is what Layla said true did you attack her?" Graham asked in a soft voice hoping to diffuse the situation.

After hearing Graham, Void stopped shaking and lifted his head up.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry about attacking you, When I saw Graham's blood, I thought that maybe the attacker had come back to get revenge. I thought you might have come in to attack Peter and I as well." Void explained, "I don't know if you know this but Peter is only a level one, and even though my indicator says I'm a level five, I have to touch people to use my abilities. When you came through the door, I had no choice but to act first."

"How can we even believe you?" Layla said still annoyed by the whole thing. It was clear to her that Void was unstable. It was as if his mood and mind were changing all the time. Just seconds ago she felt like Void was going to attack her again and all of a sudden he's calm, Layla wasn't buying it.

However, Even Graham felt like Void was acting strange, it seemed like Void was always trying to hide something. When Void was asked about what happened between him and the second years, and even now with what had happened between him and Layla.

"I'll just leave you to be for now," Void said "I'm sorry about what happened. Graham if you need anything just let me know." He then got out from his seat and left the two of them alone.

"Do you see what I mean?" Layla said, "The man is unstable, I understand he might have protected you a few times and he hasn't hurt you yet, but someone like him can hurt you at any time."

Graham knew what Layla was saying was right. This wasn't the first time Graham had seen Void lash out and it didn't seem like it would be the last either. But for some reason, Graham was unafraid of Void like the others.

All the acts of aggression that Graham felt, it never felt like it was aimed towards him.

In the hallway, while Void was heading to his elemental combat class, He decided to quickly step into an empty classroom on the way. He leaned up against the wall and took a deep breath. As he looked at his hand, blood could be seen.

Void had clenched his fist so hard that his own fingernails had pierced his palm.

"Why did you get in my way, we could have taught that girl a lesson."

"What did I tell you, it's because of you we're in this mess in the first place. You attacked her. It's our fault, to begin with."

"Fine, but you understand that if you keep suppressing us, the little one's anger will only build up. The more he thinks Graham is trying to get away the angrier he will be and then when he takes over. There is nothing me and you can do."

"I won't let it get to that point."

"I'm sorry Graham for getting you involved in this, but you were just unlucky the little one chose you."

With breakfast over and done with, it was time for Layla and Graham to head to their beast weapons class. When they entered the room, Fei, Brandon and Loop where nowhere to be seen. Of course, Fei and Brandon were banned from the class and Loop had decided to make a transfer to another Combat class. Loop just wanted to be as far away from Graham as possible.

Leo stood at the front of the class and was prepared to give out his instructions for today's class.

"Now for today's lesson, it will be individual practice. You have fought for the last couple of days with your weapon. Now you must learn how to get the hang of it. How to make it a part of you. Maybe come up with unique ideas to combine the use of your ability with the weapon. Then tomorrow you shall put today's hard work into practice."

With that, everyone went into a separate space with their weapon. A few of the students sat down and started to think about how they could use their ability with their weapon. One student covered their whip in flames making a fire whip, another held a shield and managed to alter its shape to form spikes.

While Graham had no clue what to do. His only skill was easy to use and there wasn't much to do with it other than swing his hand but what Graham wanted to do more than anything, was learn how to fight.

"I wish there was someone who could teach me how to use these things," Quinn said as he sighed.

[ Request of Combat lesson activated ]

[ A suitable weapon is currently in use ]

[ Hand to hand combat Lv. 1 Will now be shown ]

Just then as Graham said those words, he seemed to have activated something within the system. In front of his eyes, a video started to play.

Graham quickly looked around him to see if anyone else could see what he was seeing but he seemed to be the only one.

In the video stood a single tall long-haired blonde man, in a large empty room. On his both of hand's he wore two gauntlets similar to Graham's but looked a lot more powerful and his beauty was unmatched. Something Graham had never said about a boy before.

There was one other thing that Graham noticed and it was his piercing red eyes.

"Hello and welcome to hand to hand combat classes for beginners," The blonde man said in a cheery voice. "I don't know how much time has passed but if you have come across this video, that means you're one of us. And I hope that the information that is being provided isn't useless in your day and age."

The appearance of the man and the man's words made Graham think about who exactly the man was in a video and he had good reason to believe that he was a vampire.
