Innu had been away from the group for a while, and during that time, he had learned a lot.He’d found a mentor among the Altered Hunters, one who had taught him the power of telekinesis. And on top of that, during his time with the Altered Hunters, he had also learned to harness and utilize the power of Qi.Combining these two skills with the beast weapons he already used in combat, Innu had become a serious force on the Howlers team. And all of this, without being a Werewolf or an Altered himself.Yet now, upon returning to the group, he hadn’t even had the time to fully explain what he’d learned or how it could potentially help the others.“Honestly though, I don’t mind teaching you, Gary, of course I don’t,” Innu replied with a small grin. “But the thing is, I don’t even know the first thing about teaching it to someone else. I could try and copy what my teacher showed me, but it took time… and who knows if Werewolves can even learn powers like this.”He scratched the back of his h

From Innu’s little test, they’d come to a surprising conclusion,The energy Gary used in his transformations… and the energy Innu called Qi… were actually one and the same.However, when Innu used his Qi, it wasn’t like he transformed into a large beast. Instead, he strengthened certain parts of his body, targeted, precise.“Did something go wrong? Did I do something wrong?” Innu asked, glancing at Gary with a puzzled look.“No,” Gary replied, shaking his head. “I think Qi is what werewolves naturally have, and what we use for our attacks and transformations.”“Ah, right…” Innu nodded slowly, realization dawning on his face. “That would explain why you’re so powerful, and why your strikes hit so hard. I guess it’s just a form of energy at the end of the day.”“I guess werewolves just have a lot of Qi to begin with.”“Right,” Gary agreed, nodding again. Then a new thought struck him, one that made his heart race with excitement.“But I just thought of something. The way you use Qi is d

Now that the others had arrived, Kai found himself worrying about one thing, that maybe the group would start treating this like a holiday even more than they had before.However, it didn’t take long for Kai to realize that he had been completely wrong about that thought.As the new arrivals saw the others practicing, their interest immediately shifted. They were eager to see how much progress everyone had made, including their own.This curiosity sparked an intense wave of competitiveness between the groups, driving everyone to continue training and fighting harder than before.Outside, in their own designated area, Innu, Gary, Xin, and Kevin gathered in the same spot they had been using previously, only now there was one more person who had decided to observe.“I see, so that’s what he’s up to,” Kanu said, watching the group. “I have to say, the world of gangs and mobsters certainly seems more interesting than I thought. I always assumed the White Rose was full of politics and other

Inside the Manor, on the bottom floor, there was a special lab designed just for Tom. As Kai had stated, he had meticulously replicated everything that Tom had in his own personal lab.The only thing that wasn’t there was the original data. It had taken close to an entire day to bring everything else over, but Tom had successfully transferred it all.However, as he spent more time inside the lab, Tom had come to realise something. His deep interest in NIRV and the Altereds had mostly stemmed from his parents’ line of work and his own naturally curious mind.He had already learned all that he could from it. He had helped Gary with a number of important matters, and Vlad was no longer under the dark control that had once consumed him.On top of that, with the ongoing investigation into Altereds and his extensive research into beast crystals and other related topics, there really wasn’t much more for him to do at the moment.Which was why he had started to use the lab’s supercomputers fo

Kanu, given the position he held within the White Rose, often had to oversee the new recruits. However, he wasn’t exactly used to teaching them how to wield weapons.His job wasn’t to turn them into master swordsmen or expert fighters. Instead, he was there to guide them in using their new forms.When someone turned into an Altered, more often than not, they didn’t get to choose what Altered form they received.And because of that, a lot of conflicting things would happen. The fighting styles they’d trained in before didn’t always match with what their new bodies were capable of.That was where Kanu came in. His role was to help them fight naturally with their Altered forms. In the end, that’s what would make them stronger.But when Kanu saw Gary struggling, it felt almost like the opposite problem. Gary was more used to fighting in his Werewolf form, now, he was forcing himself to rely on a weapon.“Wait, you’ve figured out a way for me to use the weapon? How?” Gary asked, practicall
