The five of them continued to move forward to find a way out. They stopped at the sight of a beast in front of them. The system screen popped up:
[You have approached a Grade 7 beast, name unknown]
[User's current level is not suitable for battle]
Michael stared at the system notification. Suddenly, the ground started to shake as it was splitting into two.
"Run back!" Kaylee shouted, and all of them started to run away from the beast. The beast kept chasing them, but the only advantage they had was that the beast was slow and couldn't move as fast as them, they arrived at a warehouse.
It was a large empty warehouse with several crates and plastic scraps all over, with only one wide entrance. The five of them immediately closed the door before the beast could reach them. The beast couldn't find them and went back, Michael decided to level up inside the warehouse. He went to sit on a crate and opened up the system tab.
[Would you like to upgrade to level 3]
[You have attained the required Exp]
[Accept/Decline]
After Michael accepted the level up, this time he didn't pass out; he was only feeling some changes in his body. Michael felt like his hair was on fire, and he quickly checked to confirm if it was really on fire, but there was no fire on his hair.
A few minutes later, the hotness cooled off. "That was weird, I didn't pass out this time," Michael thought as he looked at Blake, who was looking at him weirdly with his mouth wide open.

"Michael, what happened to your hair? It turned red, your hair is red," Blake said as the others came to look at Michael. "What do you mean my hair is red?" Michael touched his hair as Lisa showed him in a mirror she was holding.
He was shocked by this sudden change and wondered why his hair was feeling hot like it was on fire. His hair had changed colors, but one thing he could understand was that the system had mentioned about some changes in his body, and this was what it had meant.
Michael was confused by why his hair color changed.The sound of people coming towards the warehouse gate as they were battling with some beasts outside could be heard.
"Come outside, we know you are in there. We've come to rescue you."
The five of them looked at each other and opened the door to come out of the warehouse. They saw seven men wearing white uniforms; the men were from the Uni military. "Follow us now, we don't have time." They quickly followed the army team back to a portal. They went in and arrived back at the school.
The first person they saw was Mark, who looked at the five of them and told them to follow him. He led the five to the council of academy office, opened the door, and they went in without the SIC (Second In Command).
One of the Council members began to speak,
"The five of you have committed a serious crime against the school rule, but we will be letting you off the hook as a warning. Next time, this won't be forgiven. Get to your dorms now and prepare for classes tomorrow."
They wondered why the school council forgave them, but that didn't matter. Michael, Blake, and Cole were the first to leave the office, while Kaylee and Lisa followed them. Blake and Cole continued to stare at Michael's hair; the two couldn't take their eyes off it. After walking for a while, the three arrived at their dorm. It was only one hour remaining until curfew.
Micheal immediately jumped on his bed ready to sleep, they had been running for hours back at the planet, "Michael, is it normal as your hair colour changed to red? Is it because you are a vampire?" Blake asked in a low tone as Cole walked towards them to listen to Micheal answers, he was certain that Vampires don't change hair colour unless Micheal was something else entirely, maybe a different kind of vampire.
"I am also confused, i don't know what's happening to me, we should check the library tomorrow after class, right now am darn tired." Micheal replied as he closed his eyes to sleep, Blake and Cole looked at each other in confusion and decided to get some sleep also.
"Oh man, the research they were planning on doing will be cancelled, we will now be everyone's enemy." Cole said, While Blake and Michael eyes widened after the realisation that Cole was correct, it's best they keep a low profile.
The next day, the three of them rushed to class while wearing their uniforms as they were running Matthew was the teacher in charge, few minutes later they arrived at the class sneaking in so Matthew wouldn't see them, They sat at the back seat while keeping their heads low. "The research has been cancelled, cause of a situation that occurred. so you may continue your life." Matthew said as he was leaving the class, annoyed.
"Hey guys, What about we start to hunt those bullies one by one secretly, we can be like spy agents with masks." Blake suggested as he put a hat on Micheal's head to cover the red hair.
Micheal and Cole immediately agreed without hesitating, the three of them then walked out of class and went to the school store to buy masks, the first person they targeted was Dale one of the first year bullies, a grade 3 earth ability user.
As Micheal put his mask on, he moved in closer to where Dale and the student was. Making sure to move swiftly like a ninja so he wouldn't get noticed.
"Fool, you wanna die, send the money now!" Dale said holding up the student by the collar.
"I don't have any, i promise to pay you please."
"Like i care, Give me the money now. You better give me now." Dale said.
Micheal knew Dale was just a grade 3 and was just part of the weak ones acting strong. Micheal was ready to beat him up to a pulp.
Blake and Cole hid behind the walls as they watched Micheal going in to attack. "Time to test out my new level" Micheal thought. He moved towards Dale slowly. He wanted to finish him off once. Michael tightened his fist to punch Dale from behind.
"Who are you? Help me." The student said as tears dropped from his eyes. Dale was about to turn around to see who the student was pointing at, Micheal immediately gave Dale a kick from behind before he could turn around. Dale passed out immediately. Micheal kick broke his neck bone.
"I think i overused my strength." Micheal said while touching Dale to see if he was still alive from the Kick.
