Crowley stood there as he looked the NIRV employee right in the eyes. There was a slight hint of obsession. He didn’t care about the student at all, one could tell clearly by the words that he had just used, but he was hesitating. ‘NIRV funds the academy a lot. It's because of them that the Academy can continue staying on top. It also officially sponsors the AFC as well. If I put my hands on him, then it will be troublesome.’ Crowley thought. “It seems like you somewhat have come around.” James commented. “You should know that the future is most important, and the future is Altered and NIRV.”After saying these words, James calmly decided to walk past the teacher, and continue to watch the lesson take place, that was until he felt a hand land on his shoulder. “End this lesson now, or I’ll chuck you in there with the beasts myself!” Crowley threatened. There was a smug smile on James face. He was a relatively high member in NIRV, of course no where near the level of those at the ve

A solid hit had been delivered by Mr. Crowley, and it looked like he might have forgotten to hold back a little. After all, he was an Altered and James was just a regular human. It was why it came as no surprise when James was unable to get back up from the floor, he had passed out, and the other NIRV employees stood there like deer in the headlights.“Gary, you did nothing wrong, that crystal was your reward so don’t worry, I will make sure nothing happens to you. The lesson is over, so head back to your dormitory and get some rest.” Crowley ordered. Gary did as asked and started to leave the special lesson area, they would need Crowley to take them through the maze of tunnels anyway so they could only really exit from this room.While leaving, Gary couldn’t help but think that Mr. Crowley was pretty cool back there. ‘He’s a good person and a good teacher.’ Gary thought. ‘Without him, I wonder how NIRV would have reacted?’ A little while later and Mr. Crowley took them back as nor

Crowley woke up refreshed as if all of his worries had vanished with a good night's sleep. The bed was more comfortable than anything he had before, and when looking around he still couldn't believe the apartment he was in. Marble floors, underfloor heating, top of the range cooking appliances with an island and a balcony he could go out on and see the sights of the city, which right now there seemed to be quite a bit of construction going on.It wasn’t that the AFA paid him badly, for from it. They needed to pay the teachers that were Altered a good wage because Altereds in the first place had so many opportunities they could take.It was just the treatment that had been given so far was the next level, but he had to be cautious. The fact that everything was overly nice, in some ways made him worry more that this whole thing could be a scam. It was a common technique to sucker one in like so.According to Crowley’s schedule he would give two different types of lessons in the afterno

The result was surprising to say the least and that was for all of them including Gary. There had been times where no students would be selected for a debut match, but the students had been keeping an eye on each other during the assessment stage, and to them there were a lot more than just Gary that was ready. In the end, none of them could say anything, as the result was final. At the same time, they were unaware that Gary had broken quite a few records at the academy, including being the quickest to go from entering the academy to becoming a debut student. All the students dispersed from the room, vowing to do better next time, while Gary had been given a set of instructions. He would no longer be staying at the normal dormitory and instead would be staying in a separate building altogether where he would learn with a personal teacher. “Don’t you think this sucks a bit?” Ian said, as he shoved a bunch of clothes into a box without even folding them. A visible vein could be seen

The news of the Altered Fighter’s debut had spread throughout the country, but the segment wasn't expected to draw much attention. After all, the newcomer hadn't even fought yet, and it was their first public appearance. Any viewers were likely to be students from the AFA, other academies, or aspiring to join the AFA. AJ Entertainment aimed to get ahead of the competition with this broadcast.However, in a certain classroom, the students were making use of their break and had tuned. Seeing a familiar looking bright green-haired student, on the screen, a heated debate ensued."Hey, isn't that Gary from our class? What's he doing in the AFA?"“Can’t you read? It says it's an interview about an Altered about to debut in the AFC?”“That's crazy! How the heck did he of all people get to become an Altered? I could understand Blake, but him?! If some company scouted him, then even I have a chance to become one!”“Yeah, yeah, dream on, buddy.” ----At the same time, Marie’s message had reac
