After finish their dinner they returned to their rooms, where old Frank had already made the preparation for their blood baths.

After he returned to his room Dan took the needle and left to Robin's room, it didn't take him long as they weren't that far from each other, he knocked on the door and just a few seconds later there was the sound of the door being unlocked before it swung open.

Robin was standing there he smiled to Dan and said:

"Here enter, we should finish this fast as Nero is waiting for you." With that he entered the room with Dan following behind him

.

Dan found after entering Robin's room that it was the same as he's, except that it was a little bit smaller, Robin waited for Dan to look around the room before saying:

"So, what should I do?"

"Well first, undress." Dan said in a serious voice.

"This is somehow going too fast but I can still accept it." Robin said jokingly, but he still took off his clothes, staying only in his underwear with his top bare.

"Ok, now drop the drop of dragon blood on the water and enter it, even your head should be under water after that just relax you mussels and mind. Oh yeah, you should also know that as soon as you enter the water you want leave it till tomorrow morning, in other words you won't take another breath of air till tomorrow morning, just fight the need to breath and hold your breath as long as you can it will get better, do you think that you can do that?" Dan said.

That actually was the hardest part of the technique, fighting the need to breath and the panic that attacks you as soon as your body starts demanding air, it wasn't something anyone would go through.

"I think that I can do it." after a while of silence Robin finally said.

"Good, now remember, as long as you still have a thread of consciousness you should keep your mouth shut and stop yourself from taking a breath, after you lose your consciousness the technique will start, and it will take care of everything so just don't worry about anything than." Dan stopped here as he looked at Robin seriously before he added:

"If you understand all of this and think you can do it than we can start."

Robin nodded his head resolutely.

"Ok, then drop that drop of dragon blood, and enter the bath." Dan said.

Robin dropped the dragon blood in the bath water and waited till it became red before taking a big breath and entering it.

Dan also didn't waste any time as he took the needle and moved toward him, and he started skillfully poking him.

Dan was surprised to see that even though the water was supposed to make things look in different places then they actually were, he didn't make any mistakes and he was able to skillfully stab every place, even the back of his head as he turned him around and stabbed him there, it was as if that was something he did hundreds if not thousands of times.

After finishing he stood next to him and watched him carefully, he was going to take him out of water as soon as he saw anything weird.

Robin found what he was experiencing quite new, as soon as he entered the blood bath he relaxed his body and mussels and calmed hes mind, and a few seconds later he felt as if something poked him between his eyebrows but it happened fast and cleanly, he didn't even flinch when it happened, and soon after he felt as if something was entering from the place where he got poked.

He didn't even have time to think about it a lot before he got poked on many other places of his body, giving him quite a good feeling as more and more warm current started entering his body from those places.

But soon after the feeling of being poked disappeared and he started having the need to breath, remembering Dan's words, he fought that urge and relaxed his mind and mussels even more as he started concentrating on the warm currents passing through his body.

That helped a little as he started forgetting he's need, he also was able to feel that his heart beat were getting less and less, but even though they were getting less, they sounded stronger in his head, soon enough his consciousness started fading little by little till finally everything turned black, and he fainted.

Dan finally released a breath of relief after ten minutes passed with no abnormalities appearing.

Then he left the room after closing the door of Robin's room behind him, he moved to Nero's room as soon as he left Robin's...

He stood in front of Nero's door wanting to knock on the door, but before even lifting his hand the door opened and he saw Nero standing their looking at him:

"You really took your time." Nero said.

"I was with Robin, I think you know that much at least, huh?" Dan said while entering the room, Nero's room was the same as Robin's.

"Anyway let's get started I can wait any more." Nero said.

Dan then told Nero about what was going to happen, and what they were going to do about him holding his breath and all, before asking him if he was still going to do it.

"Let's just start, you don't have to worry about me, I said I will do it which mean I'll do it, I won't change my mind now." Nero answered his question, well it wasn't like Dan didn't expect that.

After that he did the same with him as he did with Robin, he asked him to undress before entering the blood bath, and getting poked all over his body by the needle, fortunately just like with Robin nothing abnormal happened and Nero fainted inside the blood bath, Dan left the room after he saw that everything was good.

When he left the room he found Randy standing there, he smiled and said:

"Why are you still awake, I thought that everyone should have thier blood baths by now."

"I just decided to use your technique, after all I can lose to that glasses guy, right?" Randy said with a smile, his and Nero's relationship was good it's just that with both of them being soldiers they become rivals somehow.

"Then let's start, it won't take long at all." Dan's said with a smile.

Fifteen minute or so later Dan left Randy's room and returned to his room.

Nothing unexpected happened with Randy too, the blood bath and the technique both worked well, making Dan quite happy about all what happened that night.

Robin, Nero and Randy accepting to take the risk and use the technique, more or less showed that they trusted him, which made him wait for what the furture have for them.

He also didn't feel disappointed in the others, he knew that some people take longer time to open up, and he could wait after all he was looking further in the future.

He returned to his room dropped the one drop in the bath water and entered, just like he said, the needle treatment was inly needed for the first time, of course that was just for the first level. But he knew that the chance of making it to other levels was small so he didn't mention it.

Anyway he entered the blood bath after taking all his cloths of and relaxed his mussels and calmed his mind, soon after he was able to feel the warm current passing through his body, giving his a comfortable and relaxing feeling, and just like the first time he fall unconscious soon after.

The next morning when everyone met for breakfast, Randy Robin and Nero had happy expressions as they entered the room, especially Robin how didn't walk to the room but waited till everyone was their before teleporting directly to the center of it, giving everyone there a big shock.

"Bro... Brother you can use your ability again?" Any asked in a tumbling voice.

She was happy seeing her brother using his ability and after she saw the happy expression on his face she turned even happier.

"Yes, after Dan helped me with the blood bath I was able to easily recover, I can also feel that I'm able to teleport over longer distances than usual, surprisingly the blood bath and the tempering technique had better effect then what I expected." Robin answered happily he thought that the tempering technique would only make him recover faster, but who would have thought that it would even improve his ability, calming down he turned to Dan and said seriously:

"Thanks to your help I was able to heal fastre, I really don't know how to thank you."

"It's alright, as I said we are a team, and I want you all to think of yourselves as an important part of it. So Nero, Randy what about you two, what differences can you feel?" Dan said.

"Well, I can feel that I'm much stronger than before, both physically, and on the side of my ability to." Nero said.

He felt that his ability got stronger it's just that because he was underground he wasn't able to feel how strong it had become, he kind of wanted to leave the base and see just how further then before he could sense.

"For me, I feel that my body become much stronger than before, the changes were much bigger then he first blood bath, the strength in my body is somehow unbelievable I never thought that my body would reach such a stage." Randy said while looking at and clenching his hands.

"Well that's to be expected, no matter how you look at it just taking blood baths is quite a waste. here let me ask you? the first time you took just a normal blood bath, I think that the color of the water still had a hint of red after you finished right?" Dan said.

"Yes that's true." Randy Nero and Robin all nodded their heads.

"And this time the water was somehow grey with no hint of red at all, giving a weird foul smell." Dan added.

"Exactly."

"I will tell you that the reason all the red color disappeared is because all of it got absorbed by your bodies, while the grey color was because of the impurities which got cleaned." Dan concluded.

Randy Nero and Robin showed understanding expressions, they felt great that they trusted Dan and didn't waste a chance like that.

The other three on the other hand had different feelings, Anie didn't really care because for her, as long as her brother got better she would accept it, and also her body was stronger than ever before, so for her just staying like that was good enough.

While Leonard did feel somehow regretful he didn't take it to his heart as he waited for, and put his hope on his ability that was going to awaken.

So the person who felt the most regret was Katherine, she really wanted to use Dan's technique, the only reason which stopped her wasn't entirely because she didn't trust him as she had already said, the reason was because she felt somehow embarrassed from him seeing her body, even though Dan said that there was no private areas, she still felt embarrassed, making her waste such a chance, but she soon returned to her sense, it had already passed and there was no need regretting it.

After having breakfast together they all left again for the training room to try their powers.

Anie, Katherine and Leonard were still a little bit weaker then the one eyed dragon was, while Nero, Robin and Randy were as strong as him.

And of course Dan was way Stronger than the one eyed dragon was.

In the end, they turned to arm wrestling between the three of them.
