A New Target

'We have an exam only one month into the year! What the fuck!' The entire class thought in unison but no one dared to say out loud out of fear.

"*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.

"We had a class tournament just like yours and I lost in the finals. Of course, it was only because I was hiding my true strength. her power level was only 6940. But, the way that bitch acted after my defeat was soo annoying!! 'So this is the best the great Griffith family has to offer? Your kind is best used to lick the dirt off my boots!' She told me, that was the nicest thing that she said and I don't have enough in me to tell you the rest. At that moment I wanted to kill that bitch so badly but I held myself back for your sake. I couldn't expose our secret for such a petty and selfish reason like that. It would put both me, and you in extreme danger and we would have definitely been exposed," Jayden said with a beet-red face from anger.

"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.

"Before we upload the video, I have something important to tell you, " Moby said in a serious expression.

"Is this what you were going to tell me when we were in class?" She replied.

"Yes," Moby nodded

While they are, Moby proceeded to explain the entire story to her making sure to not miss a single detail. He had also explained his plan to her as well.

"Hahaha! She really got you good! You must have been shitting yourself!" Jayden said with a laugh.

"Anyways. I had already heard rumours of what went down. They said shit like 'The fire princess is stealing Jayden Griffiths pet' but I of course did not believe a single word because I have complete faith in you," Jayden said with a smile.

"So anyways, it is very strange that someone that powerful would ask a low level like you to be their master seeing that she doesn't know the truth about you. Are you sure about this plan of yours? It could easily backfire. No pun intended" Jayden said in a serious tone.

"Don't worry! The plan is full proof! I'm sure it will all work out fine!" Moby said with confidence.

"I'll trust your judgement on this one then," Jayden responded.

"Anyways! Now is a perfect time to upload the video! You got everything ready!?" Moby said in excitement.

"I sure do! I asked my buttler to completely encrypt my new FireWatch account (the video watching website) called "HallOfTheShitty" to make sure that it can't be traced back to us. He also made a secret bank account completely separate from us to where the money will be deposited. My butler has done things like this many times before so don't even worry about it," Jayden said with firm confidence accompanied by a smile.

"What kind of super butler do you have?! And what do you mean he has done this many times in the past!?" Moby asked in surprise.

"Ya, my butler is a jack of all trades. He has experience in all types of things! He had been my personal butler ever since I was only a child and I have yet to see something he is not good at," Jayden said proudly.

"Well, anyways. Let's just upload the video!" Moby said impatiently.

He had been waiting for this moment for a very long time now. He really wanted to find out what kind of new skill he would gain from completing the quest.

Every time he tried asking Avilia, she always either cracked a joke or told him that it's a secret. This made him even more anxious to find out what it will be.

"Okay! The video is uploading now!" Jayden said in excitement.

FireWatch is the most popular video-sharing site in the world. There is no type of censorship and any kind of videos could be found on it. Creators get paid $1 for every 1000 views so if they get 30,000,000 views, that would be the equivalent of 30,000 dollars.

The contents of the videos varied from someone drinking toilet water and licking the rim of the dirty toilets to someone smearing shit all over his body and licking it off his face.

For Nathan, the video was "special" to say the least. It was a video of him pissing in his own mouth like drinking from a water fountain while shitting on the floor and eating his shit off the ground like the pig he truly was.

"The upload is complete! The video is now up on the channel!" Jayden said jumping up and down in joy.

'From the way Avilia was hyping this up, this new skill better not be shit!' Moby inwardly hoped, waiting for the notifications to show up.

As soon as Moby saw the hoard of notifications overwhelming his peripheral vision, he could not help but smile and laugh like a child opening his presents on Christmas day only to find out that his parents had gotten him exactly what he wanted.

'Oh, yeah. It's all coming together,' Moby thought with a wide grin from ear to ear.

Read the author's thoughts to see why the upload was so late (sorry).

I had also been thinking a lot about the future of this novel. A lot of people think that this is just a vamp system copy of the vamp system just from reading the first 2 or so chapters of the book which deters many people from giving the novel a try. At the start of the novel, I was really naive and inexperienced at writing so the beginning ended up very similar. I'm not sure what to do. I feel like it is undermining the rest of the work I had put into this novel. Don't worry, im not quitting or anything. I'm glad to see so many people gave read this far and is enjoying my novel.

I am truly grateful to each and everyone one of you 😊

If you enjoy my novel, please vote to help support me and to tell me you are enjoying my work!
