As usual, many were very displeased with their new rankings, especially those whose rank had shifted by a large margin. Many had suspected those in the former top 20 to become the new top rankers, but other than Gary and Sty everyone else was a new face. Even the two former top rankers who lost their qualifications had only ended up in the top 20 this time.It was somewhat like Izzy had predicted and because of this, there were non-stop challenges going off, even before breakfast had begun. Finally, when they went to eat, Gary had finished his food quickly and gone over to sit with the three.People always made space for the higher ranks to sit with the lower ranks, but it wasn't the same the other way round. “Man, do you think you could order me some food?” Ian asked shamelessly. “Don’t get me wrong, the menu for the top 25 is great and all, but pretty much the entire canteen gets a whiff of your steaks, and my meal just can’t compare to that. I would be seriously in your debt, if y

Looking at his fist, Numba could tell although he had hit Sty, it wasn’t a full contact hit. Sty had still managed to react at the last second, pulling his body back and allowing for most of the energy to disappear. Although there was blood, it wasn’t a solid hit, and Numba knew that Sty wasn’t badly hurt, but it did manage to get a reaction out of Sty.“I see. You think you’re now a someone ever since you met him. You have some sort of strange confidence around you.” Sty shouted, but it was getting harder to understand him. Almost as if his voice was getting muffled. Looking down and avoiding eye contact, Sty had tensed both of his arms. “You are still nothing!” Sty charged forward. His wings flapped fast, and Gary could hear his fast heart rate from here. It was faster than he was at the start, the fastest he had moved in the fight so far.‘It’s like I thought. Humfree was right. These scouted students are good. I only got the upper hand because I had the element of surprise. St

According to protocol, the facility staff had to send a report of everything that was happening within the facility to the main school. Usually, that report was nothing more than a formal listing of the students’ changes in rank. Occasionally there would be some notes, for example when an Altered managed to exceed expectations by improving far faster than anticipated.Today, the report included the special incident that resulted in an announcement by the lead supervisor. Since that note mentioned a certain green haired teenager who the professors had been actively keeping their eyes on, it had raised more than a few eyebrows. “In essence, you’ve voided a match due to the interference of the student named Gary Dem in that active match, correct?” Professor Wood summed up the note that had made the three of them call forth the lead supervisor. “Correct me if I’m wrong, but that doesn’t seem to be standard procedure. What’s more, effectively the only one who appears to have been disadvan

There was a reason for why most students had avoided interacting with Gary, much less challenge him to a fight, ever since the day they had seen him fight against Sty. It was simple… they were afraid. The Werewolf had not only managed to defeat the Fly Altered, but he had done so seemingly on accident. After his family had been threatened, an anger had overcome Gary making him show off far more than he wanted. Many had hoped to not see such a scene anytime soon. Alas, the student who had just been hanging out with Sty were privy to first row seats. What’s more the current spectacle was even worse than the match.Sty’s mouth was coloured completely red, the white of his eyes were visible since his eyeball had at some point rolled to the back of his head. And yet… the green haired teenager was not showing an ounce of compassion for his fellow student.“Answer me!” He demanded, holding the Altered by the head. Of course, being passed out, it was impossible for Sty to say anything, and h

The strange skin or whatever it was on the supervisor didn't slow down Gary, as he ducked down from another attack, and this time sprinted forward and kicked the supervisor in the stomach. A grunt was heard, and for a second it looked like the supervisor was stunned. ‘I was startled for a bit, because of your strength, but so what if you’re stronger than me?’ Gary thought. ‘What does that even matter? ‘That's not my only trait. I have a lot more things I can do!’Attacking quick and sharp Gary was striking the supervisor, on his chest, back, arms and more. His claws would rip through the Altered’s skin but were unable to go in deep due to some strange bones he had inside his body. No doubt something to do with his Altered form. Not all Altereds worked the same, nor were their bodies the same either, even if they took the same type of Altered DNA.Little by little Gary was racking up the damage, but at the same time, the supervisor was starting to get a hang of Gary’s speed, his odd
