My Werewolf System
chapter-385

Some Altereds in the facility couldn't believe what they saw in the arena. The Altered in front of them wasn't the typical one they would see.

With razor-sharp fangs, long claws, saliva dripping from his mouth, and red eyes, he looked like a monster out of their worst nightmares.

Many felt a chill just looking at Gary's form. It was a rare sight for a lot of them to see. Altereds first learned how to transform their certain body parts, and as time passed on, they would mix and change their body to whatever was best suited to them, but Altereds were rarely able to change into their full beast form.

Some Altereds didn't even know what their actual beast form would look like since it was hard for them to imagine what their beast was based on from the few parts they could change. Although, depending on how they became Altered, companies such as NIRV would allow one to see the beast which had been used for their DNA.

Either way, Altereds were still seen as human by many but seeing Gary, it was hard for them to believe that he was actually a human.

In the arena, Gary stood there staring at Sty. He had grabbed him hard, dug his claws in, and using his large mouth, he had crunched hard over his shoulder. The fang marks had reached up to Sty's chest. During the bite, Gary realised what he was doing and restrained himself from chewing off half of his opponent's body.

Although from the sight, the others wouldn't have believed that Sty's life was saved just because Garry restrained himself. Blood dripped down from the tip of his claws. In front of him, Sty had utterly passed out from the shock.

At that moment, Gary had decided to let go, dropping Sty on the floor and into the latter's own pool of blood, which was continuously spreading.

'I didn't mean to transform fully.' Gary sighed. 'I just got so angry. Why can't I just learn to control myself when I'm angry? Although he deserved it, now I've gone and shown everyone what I really am.'

Immediately, Gary started to revert to how he was. His clothes were ripped but still covered the essential parts of his book. Once he returned to his human form, he stared down at Sty again.

'Shit, I bit him as well.'

When Gary was frustrated and fully transformed, he realised he had somewhat lost himself. Especially now, he just had this urge to bite the person in front of him. Maybe his werewolf instincts were kicking in, telling him to eat the prey in front of him to get stronger.

One thing had changed though, the number on Gary's badge. It had turned to number four, meaning he had successfully gained the position. The fight was over, but that didn't come as a surprise considering Sty's state.

What many of the students were concerned about was if Sty was still alive or not. The teachers on the side quickly rushed to the arena and began checking Sty's condition.

"Damn it, kid! Couldn't you have gone easy on the guy?" One of the teachers said while lifting unconscious Sty off the ground.

"Don't blame him." Another teacher retorted, "No one saw this coming, it was our fault, and he won this whole thing fair and square. So let's just get this student to the infirmary."

Then turning towards Gary, the teacher added, "As for you, don't cause any more trouble. We will be watching you."

The teachers quickly left the arena, taking Sty with them, but there wasn't enough time to clean up the blood on the floor, which was still there, and Gary was also standing on it.

"Hey, hey, hey. Was any of this in your calculations?" Ian asked.

"How could it be," Izzy said, still staring at Gary, but now she knew why she was feeling so afraid of the latter. She didn't understand it before, but now it made sense that her natural instincts told her not to mess with this person.

"I didn't know he could fully transform. I don't think anyone did. He was already strong enough, and to think he was still hiding some of his power. Did he lie to us about his background?"

It was the only thing Izzy could think of, but Gary didn't seem like that kind of person. Was he just naturally talented? But then what about the Altered DNA he had? If there was something this strong, surely the more prominent gangs would have kept it for themselves, unless this Howlers group was something special.

Other than these two, the most surprised person around the whole arena was none other than Numba, the person who was the epicentre of this mess. Looking at Gary standing in the pool of blood, his eyes started to well up. It was unknown how long ago he cried and how long he had kept these emotions at bay.

'He beat Sty…He beat them...how was he able to beat them, just like that, and so easy? The two of us even have a similar background as each other. So what is the difference between the two of us? Is it strength? Would all my problems disappear if I was that strong and had the power to beat Sty? Would I be able to help my family?' A thousand thoughts were running through Numba's mind.

"Gary!" He finally shouted out, seeing how Gary looked lost in his thoughts. "Thank you…thank you.".

Gary came out of his stupor and turned his head towards the cry. When they made eye contact, he smiled at Numba but walked away.

Without stopping, Gary went to his room while his mind was preoccupied with many thoughts.

'I've achieved my goal of reaching the top ten, and I smashed that guy's head in, but why did I have to bite him? Is he going to be okay? He isn't going to change, is he? I remember Billy bit that White Rose agent, but nothing happened to her. A Werewolf can't turn Altered, can they? It should be okay. I hope.' Gary thought.

Meanwhile, staring at his disappearing back, Apollo's fist was shaking. He placed his hand on his chest as he sensed his speeding heartbeat.

'I…want to fight you so bad…little wolf.'
