 After the fight with the Dark Herrscher, the girls took a load off and rested in there dorms. Kevin still stalked the male Herrscher. The boy was in the library reading books as usual. Himeko found the boy in the library. She walked up to him.

"What is your motive?"

The boy didn't respond, he kept reading his book.

"You need to answer me? What is your motive?"

"I have no motive. I'm just here to learn and to get stronger."

"Why are you working both sides?"

The boy closed his book.

"I don't have an answer for that."

He got up and started to walk away.

"You are a Dark Herrscher. You used to lead them, why stop?"

"Dark Herrscher kill for power. Each Dark Herrscher has the power to steal there enemies power."

Himeko didn't respond.

"You stole the power of the Quantum Herrscher didn't you?"

"I did. I stole her Herrscher core."

"Herrschers have gems."

"Dark Herrscher have cores."

The two walked out the library.

"What happens when you take a Dark Herrscher core?"

The boy sighed.

"You ask to many questions. Anyway they die."

"What happens since you took the core?"

The boy sighed again.

"It makes me stronger. The Quantum core has no affect on me. I can't use sea of quantum. I just have power from it."

Himeko grabbed the boy's arm.

"I have one more question."

The boy pinched his nose.

"What is it?"

"What is your relationship with Kevin?"

The boy didn't respond. He looked at Himeko. The truth is the boy doesn't know. He doesn't know where him and Kevin stand.

"I can't answer that, right now."

"Is because you like someone else?"

"Yeah..." He answered looking away

Himeko chuckled.

"Are you old enough to drink?"

"Actually I am. I just look my age."

"Because you from Yae village right?"

The Male Herrscher chuckled.

"Correct, but I don't drink."

"Why not?"

"I tell the truth when I'm drunk. It's best if people doesn't know what I think."

The boy's nose wiggled.

"I gotta go Miss Himeko."

Himeko was stunned on how the fast the boy ran off.

"He must have smelt food."

"Why you question him like that?"

"We both needed answers and we got them."

She walked away with smile on her face.
