Burnham food street always looked impressive, especially at night, but gone were the days where it would transform from a street of restaurants to a seedy red light district. Now it was full of classy bars and fine dining restaurants. It was quite impressive how they had managed to transform the clientele and keep it just as busy as before. A lot of this was to do with investments and pushing from Kai, but the real person that was behind running such a successful place, was the one who had run the same red light district as before, and that was Olivia Pearl. Marie looked up at the large Octopus above the restaurant, she could see various purple and pink lights from inside with people cheering and more. ‘Remember why you're here.’ Marie said to herself as she pushed the door open. Immediately, she was met with two large bouncers dressed in black suits that were standing by the door. “Whoa there missy, aren’t you a bit too young to be heading inside?” One of the men said, while the

Gary's initial reaction was twofold when he found out about Marie. The first one was worrying, wondering if she was okay.To his mind, for Marie to have turned was only plausible if she was forced into it. Someone must have bit her trying to take control of her.However, the fact that she was now part of the Pack let Gary wonder what the other person's intentions were by turning Marie.Because based on his system if Marie was to die now, she would disappear from the list, notifying him immediately.Which was when the second emotion took over, anger. Anger due to the fact that for whatever reason someone had deliberately risked his friend's life.It was why he had decided to pick up the phone and call the person most likely to have turned her in. However, Kai revealed not to be the one to have turned her and he knew Midwak was still in Notsburg, leaving only one possible suspect."Alright, at least the good news is that Marie was successfully turn-"Before he could finish, the call had

While Marie had to be going through her transformation, Gary looked at the remainder of his points, and going by the numbers, he had enough to evolve both Kai and Olivia to the next Grade. Whether this would result in them advancing in their Class, he wasn’t so sure. After all, his own Class Promotion had been the result of reaching Level 25, but his Pack members didn’t have any Levels.‘I should probably stop here and do it the next time I see it in person. It’s likely that I’ll have to make a choice between two options for them as well, and it would be better to ask their opinion rather than deciding it then.’ Sending out another text, Gary apologised to Marie for what she must be experiencing right now. He also send another text to Kai not to worry if she suddenly fell into extreme pain because she was simply going through the same process as he had when becoming a Shapeshifter Class. He also asked to be kept updated on any changes. Pretty pleased with himself, Gary finally decide

One moment, everyone was ready to fight with everything they had on the line. After seeing Apollo, Wu and Snow struggle against the beast, they knew this was going to be a difficult task, and as usual a thought would creep in at the back of their minds, what if this time they weren’t strong enough?It was these types of situations that would allow them to grow, yet all of the built up feelings that they had, vanished in a moment. They looked upon Gary, who had pulled his hand back out of the beast, and planted his two feet on the floor. The beast fell to the ground with a loud thud, unmoving, clearly having been killed. It happened so soon, so fast, and with no sign of struggle.“You…” Apollo said looking at Gary, yet for the first time he was speechless. Throughout the two’s meetings and journeys in the academy, Apollo had always felt on top. He felt like he was the one that was superior to Gary, even though he was interested in his strength. Yet now after seeing what had happened,

The sound of the familiar alarm went off, and almost immediately Gary reached out his hand, stopping it. Instead of just hitting the snooze button or staying snuggled in his sheets for a few minutes like he used to do, he got up straight away, rubbing his eyes. After that, he soon stood up and started to stretch. Raising his hands as high as possible towards the ceiling, he then proceeded to do a few more stretches as he went towards his toes.It was still dark outside, and his lessons wouldn't start for a while, yet he still put on his AFA uniform and proceeded to head outside. On the way, he passed a few of his notebooks that had several drawn images and words written out. They were his notes from the videos he had been watching last night. Outside, Gary headed to the large track and field, the track was a standard 4000 metre large oval circle, while in the middle of the field there was some equipment that could be used for training, at the moment Gary was just running around the
