After receiving the threat from the two supervisors, for the first time in a while, the system had prompted up a message. [Two dangerous Alterds have you surrounded and wish to take you out!][Quest: Defeat the two Altereds][Additional Quest: Complete the quest while surviving with your two allies][Optional: Consume your opponent to gain additional stats]‘That's not a good sign, that's not good at all. If the system has decided to come up now. Doesn’t that mean this will be quite hard, and judging by the additional quest. It doesn’t think I’ll be able to survive with them two.’While thinking this Gary retaliated by using partial transformation in his arms and legs. He had plenty of energy, but the last thing he wanted to do was drain it quickly with a full transformation. Not while he didn’t know who his opponents were and what they could do. “Wait! Your really going to attack us students over this! That’s crazy!” Izzy said her whole body trembling. “Surely we can talk this out?
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
Gary wasn’t sure whether the supervisor behind him was out cold, badly hurt, or had died. Honestly, he didn’t care about the adult’s fate as long as he was out of the fight, because right now if the Werewolf stood any chance of making it out of this situation, he would have to defeat the lead supervisor in front of him. ‘Just what the hell is in their stingers?! I can already feel that stuff affecting me.’ Gary thought as he noticed his transformed feet felt off as if he had sat on them for too long.The system had informed him about the decrease in his body’s performance, but at first, it hadn’t been too bad. However, given the tempo it was getting worse at, he was under a serious time constraint. Gary had intended to conserve his Energy at the start of the fight, to find the best way to deal with the lead supervisor, in case he had more surprises in him like Sty’s ability to fly. However, he understood that his best chance to win was to go full out… for as long as he could.Since
Just throwing out punches wasn’t working, so Gary needed to make a change. He was unsure if it would work, but it was something he wanted to test a while ago and with nothing to lose in this situation he had to.“Stop moving!” Gary shouted, and right after a loud howl was heard. [Skill activated Magnetic Howl]Hearing this strange howl, it was as if something took over in the lead supervisor and he came towards Gary. After getting both of his fists ready, he began to pummel the student, hitting him over and over in the chest. Another hit came his way, but the Werewolf was ready to block this one. “You truly are an idiot! So what if you can make me attack you? My punches are stronger than your stupid hide! Fine, if you want to die quicker, be my guest!” The supervisor shouted. “Maybe… but at least you’re now in range for me to attack you back!” Gary growled. [Skill activated Claw Drain][-15 Energy]Gary swung his arms out, forfeiting his defence to exchange blow for blow with the
Slowly opening his heavy eyelids, Gary found himself starting into a bright white light. There was nothing else in view, and his hearing appeared to still be muffled, making everything sound as if he was underwater. ‘Am I dead? … Is this what death feels like?’ Gary wondered. ‘What happened to that supervisor? I remember him threatening to kill me once his poison works… so I just kept hitting and hitting… and hitting… I guess in the end…’Soon his blurry white vision was becoming clearer and he realised that he was just staring at the ceiling light. Similarly, his hearing was also coming back, followed by the sense of touch, allowing him to feel the soft cotton sheets on his arms. [Body is back to 100% functionality]Then hearing the system message had confirmed it, Gary really hadn’t died. He was still alive. ‘So that damn poison is finally out of my system. Is that what kept me asleep, and made me feel so weak!’ The teenager reasoned. Looking around the room, and gathering his b
Panic started to set in the werewolf teen’s mind. His heart was beating rapidly, and he was frantically searching for a way out. Alas, other than a small vent and a small window that he would only get stuck in if he tried to use it as a means to escape, there was only that door.In the end, amidst his panicking, the door was pushed open, and three relatively old men walked into the room, one after the other. “Oh, this is a nice surprise, you're already up!” Professor Humfree said with a smile and his hands behind his back. This was all done on purpose, just so Gary wouldn't feel threatened or attacked during this delicate situation. “Mr Dem, please rest and lie down while we inform you about what happened during your sleep.”Gary cautiously looked between all three of them, yet he couldn't sense any hostility from any of them. His rational mind was telling him that if they really wanted to hurt him, then they would have done it while he had been unconscious… or at least put him in ch
Just as the professors had stated, it was not long before a young nurse entered the room and a set of clothes in her hands. She placed them on the bed after giving a few instructions. Once he was changed, Gary would come out of the room, and she would lead him to a bus waiting for him. When picking up the clothes, Gary noticed that they weren't the clothes he was wearing earlier. Instead, they looked more like a type of uniform. The shirt was tight fitting, similar to a sports shirt. It was mainly yellow in colour with a few white details here and there. Turning the shirt around, he saw a large white circle on the back with yellow letters with a black outline saying AFA. 'Is this what I think it is?!' Gary held it up in the air to make sure. 'It's the AFA uniform! The one fighters actually use! That's why the material is stretchy, has the cooling ability, and is also quite resistant to certain attacks.' Gary used his strength to stretch the shirt to test this, and the results came
Unfortunately, it didn’t look like Eddy had any intentions of sharing his secret. His arms were folded, and he had told the others to enjoy themselves while he had met up with Gary. The Altered students had done exactly as they had been told and tried out the equipment after a bit of catch-up. Now that the green haired teenager was here, he decided to ask Izzy and Ian about what had happened, but before he had a chance to open his mouth, the both of them bowed their heads in unison.“Gary, I know you hate when we do these types of things, but we don’t know how else to thank you for saving us back there!” Izzy began. “After the poison knocked us both out, we feared we might be all gonners, but the professors informed us about what you had to do…”There was a nervous drop of sweat running down the side of the Werewolf’s face. He had been somewhat worried that they might have seen what he had done, or that the professors might have told them the entire truth, but judging by their action
Xin had already expended a lot of energy in her Altered form, and holding her breath during her combat had worn her out quite a bit. Her single wing sticking out from her back was still there, but the lightning power that sparked from it was dwindling.“Big guy, be careful; this one’s tough,” Xin commented.Austin stood strong, looking at Gil getting up on his feet. As he did, Gil’s body muscles were flexing in and out. The smoke that was lingering from his body was starting to grow as well.“I know. I hit him with a pretty big shot, and I know I’m not weak,” Austin replied.After just getting back out from the hospital and recovering, the first thing Austin didn’t expect was that he was going to have to get into a fight, but from a single look, he could tell this person was strong.Not wasting any time, he had jumped out of the window and knew what he needed to do.“You're a bigger hitter than me, so I’m going to have to support you!” Xin said.As soon as she finished her sentence, G
With Xin being who she was, she had faced many different types of Altered, but going up against Gil was the most unique one yet. For one, he was a rare Mythical type. These had great power and a chance of great elemental ability as well.Not only that, but she had seen something somewhat unique to an Altered which she hadn’t seen before. The fact that Gil was able to transform his body, and in doing so, it affected his powers.Being large in size, he was strong and durable, while being smaller in size he had incredible speed. It was because of these transformations that Xin had felt like she had already seen it all.They had been fighting for a while now, so he had to have used either his partial or full transformation. There was nothing left for him to show, with no surprises, it was time for her to finish off the fight herself.The one wing that extended out from her back, the same size as a hand, was covered in yellow sparks that continually went off. They were condensed in size, g
Sparks from Xin’s Altered form couldn't stop flying off from her body. The strange hardened feathers constantly were shooting off small bolts of energy from one to the other. Even just standing still, her elemental power was activating.“You think things are going to change just because your appearance is now a little different!” Gil shouted as he lifted both of his hands up, locking them together. He was in his large form, having shifted from the smaller one.Doing so allowed him to pick up more strength than he usually would. The attack was going to be a big one. Gil’s hands smashed against the ground, and the whole building started to shake again.The people from above fell from their seats. Shelves tumbled down from the vibration, and it looked like the building was warping from within itself. However, the shaking had eventually stopped.With it stopping, the people on the second floor could see that they were now okay, and it was the same for Amy and White, who were close to the
The message sent out by Kai was heard loud and clear by everyone in the Howlers, and some of them took it to heart. Instead of trying to win their fights, they now were trying to last as long as possible.Raven had transformed his body; large heads had appeared and were in the air. Numba had been picked up by one of the Hydra Altered’s heads, its teeth biting down on his stomach and flinging him to the side until he hit a wall.“This Altered’s strength is crazy; does he have the same strength in each head?” Numba thought as he tried to get back up.Charging in were both Marie and Olivia at the same time. They struck from two sides, trying to hit the heads, but weren’t fully committing. They were carefully waiting for a strike and moved from side to side.Marie had avoided attacks from one of the Hydra’s long winding heads, while Olivia, as she jumped back, swung her hands and used her whip. It was effective in hitting the Hydra, but she didn’t dare try to wrap it around its head due t
There were a lot of decisions to make with the new stats and pawn points that Gary had managed to achieve, and it was best if he used them now because at any moment, he felt like something was coming.The fight against Ice was far tougher than the fight against the North and the South leader, but all of this was for more to come.‘First, I will allocate the stat points,’ Gary thought as he tapped his system, giving himself a few points in two areas.The first was his endurance.[Endurance 88 >>> 90]‘The strength difference at every ten is increased, but as the numbers get higher, the difference isn’t felt as much. Either way, as I’m fighting tougher enemies like that of Ice, Endurance seems to be a big factor in getting hurt less.’[Dexterity 82 >>> 85]‘With that, rather than being able to hit harder, I need to be able to hit more and get my attacks in, so I’ll increase my dexterity.’As for the pawn points, Gary then went ahead and used two of them on his health. Each pawn point at
---The final plan that Carter had, to try and turn those who had allied up against each other, had failed. Carter already knew about Ice’s past; there wasn’t much he could do with that.He was one of the few prisoners who knew what they had done. Through the extent of his own powers in a clash, he had killed those around him that had no involvement. He wanted to stay in the prison, but he suddenly had a change of heart.Then, there was Blackjack, the first man Carter was unable to get any information about, so he only had Gary, and now even that hadn’t worked.“What were you going to do?” Gary asked as he moved forward. “I bet if I was in here, and the Phoenix Gang wasn’t already targeting me, you would threaten my friends, my family, that are on the outside.”“You are a cruel person in this place; those that are already trapped, you force them to do your bidding by trapping them even more in this place. I can safely say that you are a person that I don’t mind getting rid of.”Gary n
---In the center of the prison, many had backed away from Ice standing in the middle. He felt like an unstoppable giant. No matter what attacks landed on him, they barely left a mark; if they did, it was almost as if it didn't affect him at all.His giant club was hitting the physical-type Altereds and overpowering them with his strength. Even those that were fast and could get closer were affected by his strong ice powers.He could block attacks with his ice, freeze those who came close to him, and create a number of unique attacks of his own. When a group of prisoners approached him, he slammed his foot on the ground. Ice grew from the floor in several sharp spikes, piercing those who took a step too far."What are we meant to do, Stinger? This guy is too strong!" one of the prisoners exclaimed.They looked around, waiting for an answer, but the prisoners themselves were struggling to even see Stinger. That was because he had hidden himself among the crowd of prisoners, waiting for
Blackjack was on the move to the North side. He was quickly going past the Altereds that were trying to attack him, ducking and weaving through them all at a fast speed. At one point, he leaned back, and one of the prisoners accidentally attacked another.‘It’s a good lucky day today, I knew it would all go well today.’ Blackjack smiled as he progressed further and deeper inside. As he finally got near the end, he threw out the last of his cards.They came out sharp, hitting four of his opponents on the head, causing them to fall to the floor, and that’s when he could see Calvin sitting on the floor, healing one of the prisoners.“Calvin, it has been a while, right?” Blackjack asked. “I’m surprised to see that you teamed up with the South Group. After going against them for so long, it resorted to this.” “I had invited you several times to join my side,” Calvin stated. “I had even healed your body after the fight with the Warden, and yet you still refused. So what else was I supposed
The fight continued with all three of them continuing to fight against the Altereds coming their way. Although most of them were relatively easy to deal with, there were a few tough ones.Those that knew how to fight either waited for the right time to strike and got a good hit in or were harder than just a single hit or two to take out. When this was the case, Gary would use one of his skills.He would use his Lethal Pounce, Claw Drain, and even once in a while, he even used his Claw Strike to attack them from surprise. When this was used, it seemed like next to no one could stop it.Blackjack had been keeping an eye on things that were happening around him, and when this happened, he would focus on just avoiding blows that he was able to do with ease.‘Is he conserving his strength?’ Blackjack thought. ‘That’s surprising. I don’t see many Werewolves fight like that. Is it because he’s worried about when he has to go up against the Warden? No, that can’t be it.’With a keener eye, Bl
