The battle for points was fierce as students continued to run around the area scanning every item in sight.
"Damn this has been scanned already!" A student complained.
"Yes, there’s another one here that’s two now!" Another yelled out.
Some of the weaker groups decided to stay together as a group as they went around.
Although this stopped other teams from snatching points from them, their progress was relatively slower than those who roamed alone. The stronger groups decided it would be best to split up, this way they were able to cover a wider range, while the other groups decided to do a mixture of something in between.
Even though the group thought that Del was being harsh in his punishment, it wasn’t truly the case. He had planned to do something similar beforehand but wasn’t quite sure how to do it until the incident gave him an excuse.
Quinn’s group had an extra person, so they were at an advantage compared to others. But since there was only one scanner, it was hard to say how much extra influence an extra member could give.
But after seeing Vorden and Quinn’s face once more, his emotions got the better of him as a teacher, and he decided to give them quite a setback.
Out of the strategies implemented by different groups... In order to catch up to the others, Quinn’s group decided to do a mixture of the two.
They decided that they would travel around in pairs.
Quinn and Peter, Layla and Vorden, and lastly Fex and Cia. In the beginning there was some disagreement with the pairings, but eventually they agreed on this setup, at the end of the day it would be better for Peter to be with Quinn, and Vorden refused to team up with Cia, so that left him with Layla and Fex with Cia to make the relative strength of each group about the same.
It was important for them to have one strong member with a support type member. Although Layla and Cia could have gone together, if they were to confront a beast, or a similar situation happened with Peter there wasn’t much that they could do.
The group had already split up, and while everyone was off looking for some new items to discover, Quinn noticed something peculiar. There were ten groups yet, nearly every group had a single member that acted as a type of mule.
A person designated to carry their belongings.
After a closer inspection, he also noticed that these mules were people who had the lowest levels in their group. But nevertheless, they would still wander off and look around as instructed by their team.
’Wouldn’t this be the perfect chance?’ Quinn thought. Right now, they weren’t in school, and many of the students had separated from each other. If he was to take a sample of their blood and mind control them afterwards to forget what had happened, no one would ever know what he had done.
It was basically the perfect crime in such a perfect situation!
"Pio, over here!" Cia shouted. Peter then dashed off into the direction that Cia had yelled but Quinn didn’t follow. Instead, he set his eyes on a target.
A lone female student had been designated to carry her team’s luggage. She seemed to be disheartened by the whole thing, and was searching through the trees and vines in a crestfallen manner. It was obvious that she didn’t feel that she was doing anything substantial or that she was even a part of the team.
As she bent down to look at a certain plant behind the tree, when she lifted her head again, Quinn was standing in front of her. He didn’t say much because he needed to act as quickly as possible. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
Although they were covered by the trees and vines there was always the off chance that someone could see him.
Quinn grabbed her hand as fast as he could and made a small scratch on her palm, her blood was now on the tip of his gauntlet. After placing it on his tongue the system message appeared.
[Blood type A+ Consumed]
[Strength 20]
It was a little bit of a disappointment but Quinn was hoping to obtain as much O type blood as possible, so he could increase his charm stat. Right now, his selection was limited.
He had to choose low-level students with lacklustre abilities who most likely had a weak mind too. But if his charm skills eventually increased, the pool of people to choose from would also increase directly proportional to his charm skills.
[Influence Skill Activated]
