Originally Gary had gone into what he deemed was his final special lesson confidently. He knew it would be a little bit tough, but he never imagined something on this scale. For something to trigger a warning from the system. ‘A beast that will really give me as much trouble as when I faced against Midwak… is that even possible?’ Gary thought.The barrier had been lifted, allowing Gary to see the beast in full sight, but just at a glance it was hard to tell if it was fierce or not, and he had no idea about a certain fact that those from NIRV knew, the fact that this beast was classified as a humanoid one as well. It was standing on its two muscular legs that looked like tree trunks. They were thick, solid, and muscular and it was hard to see where the toes were on the beast. The theme of its muscular body continued upward on its human-like shape, but around its chest area, it looked like the beast had an exoskeleton. Almost like a ribcage, but on the chest going toward the centre.T
Gary had suffered a serious injury, the attack had pierced through his body but he could feel his muscles hardening around the claw, keeping it in place, not letting it move out. The beast he was going up against was strange for a number of reasons, and mainly because Gary was still trying to figure out why it was so dangerous. He thought it would be one thing, its power to create copies of itself with its blood. Some time while fighting against the others, the beast had managed to make another clone of itself. Thankfully, it seemed the max number it could create a copy of itself was six, otherwise he really would be in trouble. Yet, what was actually the most troublesome for him was the sharpness of the claws. They were going through his thick werewolf hide like it was nothing, at least in his current state.‘There’s no point using magnetic howl in this situation, because they're all coming for me anyway!’ As Gary could see two more clones coming his way. ‘Screw you!’Using a surg
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
Everything that Gary was doing right now was based on a theory of his own. Altereds gave him more stat points compared to the beasts that he killed and ate. The beasts had the crystals removed from their bodies, and the flesh only had a hint of power in them when consumed. Whereas Altereds were created using the crystals that came from beasts. Which was what led Gary to his sudden and rash decision to bite into the crystal. Ideally he would have attempted to eat the body with the crystal in it, but that would have been a strange action to take, not that biting into the crystal wasn’t. In Gary’s head, since he ate things to gain power, he thought it was the next best thing. His hard jaw was able to crush the crystal and as the pieces went down his throat and into his stomach he could feel a bubble of energy building up. He was too far in at this point so all he could do was continue eating the crystal until it was completely gone. “WHAT IS HE DOING!” James shouted and banged his fi
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 had found himself in a taxi staring out of the window. Life felt a little crazy for him at the moment. He was an adult, one that was 35 years of age and had his career path quite set out. He enjoyed his job, loved what he did and didn’t mind if he was to do it for the rest of his life. Which was why he found the current situation frustrating and strange. The car was filled with his belongings, all taken from his apartment, and he was leaving the city he had lived in for a long time, in order to head to a new place. ‘Slough, I can’t say it's a town that I have heard much about, but when I did some research it seems they have been in the news relatively frequently.’ Crowley thought. He wasn’t the type to focus on what was happening in the outside world, because he had dedicated everything he did, to his job, and now he had lost that.‘Honestly, I don’t know much about the Howlers Group either, but it was too good of an offer, that I couldn't refuse.’ Crowley was thinking bac
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
Although the favour had originally been requested by Gary, Kai felt like this was a huge plus to the Howlers. Even if Crowley wasn’t directly involved in the gang, having him teach the regular members on top of the Altered in their team would help them grow in strength.It was why Kai was treating him so nicely, on top of everything he had heard this teacher had done for Gary, there was the good first impression that he had.“Remember that you need to go to the Altered training sessions in the evening with Marie from now on.” Kai said, as he sorted through several documents that were on his table and even signed some with his signature. “Yes, you’ve told me quite a few times, but is it really okay?” Olivia replied. “If me and Marie show our forms, won’t he notice that we are all the same type of Altered and get suspicious?” “What do you think is more likely, for him to think we all have just taken a serum from the same type of beast, or that we are all hungry bloodthirsty werewolves
