Kai knew that Gary's time was precious at the moment. He couldn't spend long with the group, and the AFA would be wondering just where he was, especially with his debut match booked. So he decided there and then to send a text out to everyone that he wished to come with him, telling them that they were heading to Notsburg. Of these people, it was truly only the Werewolf members of the gang, Marie and Olivia. "Alright, they should all be here in about 30 minutes, and then we'll head off," Kai stated. The good news was the night sky was out, so Gary was currently getting a buff. Meeting Midwak again was always an unpleasant and worrying feeling for Gary. He knew that the Werewolf was the type that would challenge him every month and would do so without fail for him to get to the position he needed to be. Gary originally thought it was a good idea so he could push his own strength to new heights, that way he would always be a step forward compared to his senior Werewolf. The only thing was, since the last time they had met, how much had he improved? He had gained a few stats from the special lesson after eating the crystal. On top of that, he had learned how to use his skills more in an effective way, utilising the night sky. Yet, there hadn't been a drastic change. In fact, Gary guessed if the two of them were to go up against each other now, if the sun was out, he would certainly lose. It wasn't as if he could set the time that Midwak could fight him. 'I only just beat Midwak at night, and the current class allows me to essentially get twice as strong. Does that mean I have to double my strength in the remaining amount of time?' There was one saving grace in all of this, there was still time. It hadn't been a month since the two of them had fought, so Midwak wasn't able to challenge him. So it was maybe the best time for the two of them to meet. "Before we go, there is one thing I want to do," Gary said, as he walked over and placed his hand on Kai's shoulder. His head was facing the floor, so the other was unable to see his expression. "I'm sorry." "Why don't your words match your expression right now?" Kai asked, as he saw a smile on Gary's face. Suddenly, Kai could feel a pain through his body, a jolt in his legs that caused him to fall to the floor. "Oh, I thought it might not do this since it's not an evolution," Gary commented, looking at the struggling Kai. With 26 Pawn points from beating Midwak, taking over Notsburg, and an additional five from completing the timed quest in the AJ Entertainment, Gary had plenty of pawn points to spare but not enough for him to go to the next rank. So he decided that it was best to rank up one of the others instead. Although the benefits of ranking up weren't much for Gary. For one, the ranking up system seemed to be a way to create a stronger force. If Gary had several high-ranking Werewolves underneath him who were going out there turning others, then they would be able to produce a higher quality of werewolves. Since one was only able to create the same or lower rank than them. On top of that, for each Werewolf created and part of the Howlers, he himself would gain an additional pawn point. It almost felt like a pyramid scheme with Gary at the very top experiencing most of the benefits The only thing was, the Howlers weren't out there trying to increase their pack size, so this benefit was practically nil. There were times when Gary thought of it because pawn points could also be converted into stat points, which would allow him to grow in the quickest way possible, and from the sound of things, the other Alpha already had an army of his own. But it was the fact that a turn wasn't a 100 percent guaranteed, and in most likely terms, it meant death to the other person. It wasn't that Gary wouldn't kill, but killing for no reason apart from his own benefit didn't sit well with him. Still, he used the points on Kai because he wanted to see if he would go through another evolution. There were two limits it seemed like to Gary evolving, one was the level and the other was the rank. The thing was, the other Werewolves at least according to the system didn't have a level. So the least he could do was improve their rank, and as they got stronger, they were likely to unlock better classes. The best way to increase the Howlers' strength was by bringing everyone up. He had a few people to choose from, Marie was a new Werewolf, she did cross his mind because he wanted to protect her more, but felt like a way of protecting was to increase their offense. There was also Olivia, the first person to join the Howlers. Her hunter class felt like it was incredibly reliable, and he could only imagine the useful things a class evolution would do with that. Then there was Kai. He had been affected the most from the attack by Midwak and worked the hardest for the Howlers. These things had swayed Gary to pick him.
