After Gary’s little display the testing proceeded without a hitch. Showing off his transformation had been enough to convince the three men about him being an Altered. He wondered what excuse he would have to make if they were to suddenly ask him for a blood test but in the end, he was fine. at least for the next couple of weeks.[25 days until the next full moon]At the moment the teenager just had a loose plan of claiming that he was sick on that day, which would hopefully be enough to allow him to skip classes on that day. Gary intended to put some more thought into it, but first, he would have to make sure that he actually got in, though judging by the minute reaction of the three men he was at least sure to have passed this test.Gary wasn’t big-headed but he believed that his transformation out of all of them was the most impressive.“Alright, we’ve collected all your data now. I will now read out the names of those that are eligible for the next test!” Professor Humfree began,

‘The guy might have been an idiot, but that doesn’t give me the right to kill him…’ Gary thought to himself as he looked down on the unconscious body of the Insect Altered. The guy clearly wouldn’t be getting up anytime soon. As if taunting him to do it, the Optional Quest flashed before him, yet the Werewolf ignored it, shook the blood off his hand, and stepped back in line.On some level, the teenager understood that the fastest way for him to grow in power through the Werewolf System would be by consuming beasts. However, since those were technically extinct, other than what NIRV was doing, he would have to eat Altered if he wanted the benefit, and that just wasn’t something socially acceptable, nor was it something Gary really wanted to do.Fortunately, that wasn’t his only way to grow in power. Aside from levelling up, a task which became progressively more annoying due to the increased EXP requirement each Level, he could strengthen himself, or his Pack, through the use of Pawn

Unlike during the initial assessment, when Numba had been struggling to transform, his horns were now growing at a fast speed, swirling backwards just past his entire head before they curved up. The pointed bits stuck out around fifteen centimetres in front of him. The ball was heading his way, yet when he kicked the floor, a loud bang resounded throughout the room.The teenager only moved a short distance, less than two metres, but his speed was incredibly fast, powerful, not to mention timed perfectly. The Goat Altered’s horns connected with the ball, which flew back as fast as a bullet, right past the closest two teenagers from the group of four, until it finally collided with its target.It was surprising that the ball itself didn’t break, indicating that the material wasn’t normal rubber. It was far more durable, yet it also kept a solid state when being hit, allowing it to retain an optimal speed and weight behind it.Numba, aware that his chances of fighting off four Altered we

Unlike a few moments ago, Gary kept his legs normal and only transformed his hand. Still, even without transforming, Gary was much faster than those taking the assessment, at least before they had transformed into their Altered forms.Before Izzy could make up her mind about what to do, Gary was in front of her. He raised his fur hand above her, holding the ball. "Catch." Gary dropped the ball, and Izzy held onto it as she was told. The image on the screen had now changed to hers, but she didn't care about that. Looking at Ian lying on the ground with his broken legs, she could only imagine what would happen to her. But, on the other hand, Gary hadn't even transformed back then, nor was he angry."For the next few seconds, just hold the ball for me, or you know what, hold it as long as you can." Then, raising his head, Gary stared at her teammates. He suspected they were all in on the plan together, and there wasn't just one person to blame for all of this. Noticing his gaze, the

Professor Hai went on to explain what their life would be like, and how they could rise through the ranks, be it in the form of passing the assessments, challenges, or through fighting against other students. He also explained how there would be teachers inside but no lessons, since those were there just to observe and nothing else. Still, they would have the facility to train as they wished, and higher numbers meant access to better facilities to train in order to encourage students to improve. “You will be able to leave whenever you wish, but if you do choose to leave as someone outside the top 10, then that means you will forfeit your only chance to join the AFA. It’s in your own interest to do whatever it takes to reach the top positions, and hopefully, I will see you all at the real academy again. Once you enter, that will be the start of your next step.”Before the adults left, Professor Humfree looked at Gary, and he had a few more words that were mainly directed at him. “Alt
