My Vampire System. Episode 13 and 14.

Summary

In a military academy where hierarchy is based on power levels, Quinn, Peter, and Von navigate the school's unwritten rules. Quinn gains experience for avoiding sunlight and eating heartily, but his hunger remains unsatisfied. Von, a high-level student, defies norms by associating with lower-levels, causing tension. When they are confronted by second-year students over Von's behavior, Quinn's inspect skill fails in the sunlight. Mono, a second-year with a '6' on his wristwatch, warns them about the potential involvement of powerful figures if they continue to break the rules. Tensions rise as the trio must decide whether to comply with the school's hierarchy or resist it, with Von ultimately choosing to challenge the system.
