Still, it was better than nothing at the very least. He didn't have to walk blind thanks to the information that they had willingly conceded to him. It could have been a trap but from how weak the two appeared, Zavier was sure that they weren't capable of harming him.
According to them, they had seen Dahila being attacked by a team of three individuals. Since, the couple was afraid of trouble, they had avoided the battle and had passed by them unnoticed.
Zavier followed their directions to the best of his abilities and before he even reached the area they had specified, he heard a loud explosion that caused him to speed up. At the same time, he employed his Time Space eye in order to scout ahead.
What he saw in front of him some distance ahead was a very familiar scene.
It was like the situation when he had found Shiranui was being replayed in front of him. Dahila was being surrounded by three individuals. But unlike Shiranui who had been able to counter her three assailants, Dahila seemed to have lost the battle and was worn down completely.
The interesting thing to Zavier was that the three attackers were the same ones who had previously tried to harm Shiranui.
Zavier was incensed at the surprising turn of events. He had previously encountered the three but had not engaged them in battle for fear that he would have to take out Blood Blade which he wasn't willing to do after he had been warned off by Val.
From the looks of it, the explosion might have been the final attack that had brought Dahila down because the three men were in process of moving in towards her slowly from all sides while Dahila lay sprawled on the ground unable to lift an arm to defend herself from her attackers.
Zavier gained momentum and hurried off in the direction that the battle had been taking place while keeping a watch with his Time Space eye.
----------------------------------------------
Melbourne High School was not considered the best out of all the others but it was well known for only accepting elites with powerful bloodlines. Rumours stated that the school was being run by some elite families with powerful bloodlines in order to school their own children in Bloodline magic and hereditary skills of their families.
The school was also renowned for their ridiculously lower number of attendants compared to other elite institutions. But that also meant that the quality of those accepted into the school was quite high compared to the other institutions.
This could also be inferred from the fact that despite being a school with very low number of students, the Melbourne High School was allotted three recommendations which was quite a big deal.
The three students who had been terrorizing the testing grounds with their overwhelming strength and their powerful bloodline abilities were named Gabby, Ibeniah and Macbeth.
The overly skinny and pale one that looked sick in one look and overtly handsome the next was called Gabby. He was someone who had inherited the bloodline of the vampires and was the leader of the group due to his high resilience and mental acuity that levelled that of the most mature teacher at their school.
Although he had the looks of the vampires that Zavier had heard about, he was not actually a true vampire. He had just inherited some of the abilities of the vampires through his bloodline. Due to that, his looks had altered slightly and he looked more like a vampire than any human.
The same was true for the other two members of his super bloodline team from Melbourne High School. None of them were true bloods but had only received a part of the abilities of those fantastical races.
Zavier knew that there were many different races in this new world but this was the first time he had ever come across anyone who was remotely similar to such races. Since many races existed in harmony with each other, there was always a possibility of intermixing of races in such a scenario and from the looks of it, interbreeding wasn't very odd.
Instead it had become a source of pride for humans to flaunt their non-human racial heritage. There were plenty of mixed bloods in the world. While some inherited strong abilities and were able to become strong mages based on that, some couldn't break past the necessary threshold despite having inherited the skills from their bloodline.
Ibeniah was another mixed blood with the racial abilities of werewolves. He had inherited the super strength, physical damage resistance and enhanced response time and reflexes from his werewolf bloodline. Even though he was not a match for Gabby in terms of strategizing and skill rarity, he more than made up for it with his battle capabilities due to his extraordinary fighting strength.
Macbeth, despite having the most distinguished bloodline of them all, was still the weakest among them. He had inherited the bloodline of the dragon riders.
The reason he was considered the weakest among the trio wasn't because his fighting capability was any weaker than them but because his main skill and all his abilities related to the dragons could only be activated under some special conditions. Therefore, Macbeth had trained his sword arts to the extreme. As a dragon rider he had been trained by his family in the art of sword fighting. Macbeth therefore was able to pull his own weight in the team despite the restrictions on the usage of his skills.
The trio had already charted the next course of action as soon as their instructor in charge had told them what the competition might entail in the testing grounds. Based on that they had decided beforehand that they would all gather together and would form a team with the only ones they could trust; themselves.
As soon as the trial started, the three of them had abandoned the teams that they had been assigned and had found each other. It would have been more pertinent to say that Ibeniah had managed to find the other two based on his heightened sense of smell and the extremely pungent smelling flower that the two had been carrying in their pockets.
It wasn't long before they were all gathered in the form of their original squad once again.
They didn't bother with accumulating points by gathering points through task completion. They knew that in order to truly stand out by earning a huge number of points, they had to keep snatching the cards of the truly elite participants. As such they didn't mind letting go of the pocket change that the others were busy earning through task completion and only looked for high profile targets to loot points from.
The best way to reduce the number of participants for the next trial was to eliminate them using this trial. So, the three of them set to besieging the elites of other high schools in order to loot their cards. They did so in order to make sure that the others got eliminated while they themselves got their hands on more points and advanced to the next trial.
They were hopeful that by doing so they might be able to eliminate some of the potentially stronger individuals that they might have encountered in the second trial.
So far, the three had been steamrolling their way through the first trial and had managed to loot various individuals of their points except the one incident where they had targeted a strong and seductive girl who wielded black flame. Not only was she strong and gave them a bit of trouble, but also her helper had been smart enough to escape their chase when they had finally managed to get her under their control.
If not for the intervention of her teammate, the trio would have had a clean record without any blemish.
Still, what they had already accomplished was something that other teams could only be envious of.
Since things had been going on so well for them, they had moved from target to target while accepting the points of all their victims. Their latest victim was a girl who had been quite smart and had managed to evade their attacks for a long time. She had been playing guerrilla tactics to counter their excessive difference in the overall strength. One against three wasn't exactly fair after all.
They had chased after her a lot and had finally managed to corner her and surround her.
Left with no options she fought with them head on with the ferocity of a launched missile.
The girl despite how she had been evading them earlier was quite proficient in battle magic. Her ice magic was at a level that even they felt envious of yet they were able to easily beat her because they had the perfect counter for her magic.
It was because of Gabby. Vampires were a race that was often associated with bats based on the similarities. Therefore, Gabby's abilities were quite bat-like as well.
Gabby was able to use sonic attacks like Bats who were able to emit ultra high frequencies to communicate and for echo location.
