Chapter 132: No more Drama In the end, Gary decided against the idea of testing it out, not now and not in this area against a person he didn’t even know. Sure gang members were mostly bad, but he had no right to punish a random person who might have similar circumstances to himself, especially if all he was currently doing was making sure that the neighbourhood was safe. Alas, it appeared as if the high schooler would only find out once he tested it out. Maybe when he transformed it would give him all these benefits, provided of course he stayed conscious. Right now he would have very much prefered a Partial Transformation skill over the full version. ‘Wait…can Billy do this too?’ That thought suddenly entered his head. ‘I got this reward from the system, and maybe he hasn’t done anything that allows him to do this stuff. If that’s the case, isn’t this an easy way to take him out? If I can somehow get me and Billy together in an empty room… he might be strong, but surely my Werewolf Form should be enough to beat Billy in Human form, right?’ There was no way to confirm if Billy could or couldn’t do this, but the only reason he thought he perhaps couldn’t was because he hadn’t tried to attack Innu or Gary since that day. Of course, Gary wouldn’t just gamble everything on that without trying it out first, but now wasn’t the time nor the place for it. There was someone who had been waiting for him the entire day. When coming in, he could see his sister immediately come out of her room to check up at who had entered. “Gary!” Amy ran over, and quickly went over to give her big brother a large hug. He saw that her eyes were puffy. ‘She must have been crying since this morning…’ “Sorry, it took so long. I hope 20 was enough to order something nice. I’ve also brought some food like I said I would.” Gary handed over the shopping back, and his sister immediately began to unpack the groceries, helping out as best as she could. It was strange how something so ‘regular and boring’ managed to put a smile on the high schooler’s face, and he went over to do his part. As thankful as she was, Amy did give him an earful about two things, the amount of meat he had purchased as well as the amount of junk food. When shopping his instincts must have taken over for the former, as for the latter, he had just wanted to avoid burning down their apartment, which he confessed to. The two of them joked and laughed about it, and Gary believed that the two of them would be able to get through this hard time. As long as the two siblings would stay together everything would turn out well —— [28 Days till the next full moon] [30 Exp received due to active Bond Marks] [Exp 572/1024] Once again, Gary had woken up before Amy, though there were a few reasons for why he didn’t just go back to sleep. Now that he would be heading to the pool club after school, the high schooler needed to head to the gym in the morning before going to school. He still needed to improve his body, and get the Daily Exp, even if it was a pittance, and then he would do his morning routine of hunting in the forest. The teenager was getting better at using his skills. In particular his Claw Drain had allowed him to catch birds and squirrels thanks to his suddenly longer reach, and it was good for his footwork as well. The fights had also improved his hunting to some degree. For once, when coming to school. He felt like there were no immediate problems. Of course there were still many problems, but for once it felt like he would have enough time to deal with them all. “I feel like I finally got a break.” Gary mumbled as he took his seat. “Oh, did you overexert yourself? Here I thought you must have been having fun with your ‘new friends’.” Tom commented a bit snarky. It was clear his best friend was annoyed at him. To be fair, Gary hadn’t even bothered to talk or text him after simply disappearing once Rugby training was over. When was the last time he had come over to Tom’s house or that the two of them had watched an Altered match together? Lately, Gary had been obsessed with Rugby, or going out with the others after school. It was starting to feel as if they were drifting apart, the only glue holding their friendship together being the secret the two of them shared about his sudden chocolate ‘allergy’. “Hey, Tom…” Gary began, unsure about whether inviting him to the pool club would be a good or bad idea. ‘As long as it’s during the day and it’s just about helping the place out, it wouldn’t be too dangerous… sh*t, but that would mean that I would have to ask the others to avoid openly talking about any Howlers business…’ “I’m sorry man, I’m just really busy these days. I promise everything will be back to normal soon, and I think I might need your help with you know… my ‘special problem’.” Gary leaned in and whispered. Tom wondered what type of questions he could ask him. Just as the first period was about to start, a knock could be heard on the classroom door. “Come in!” The teacher called. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎 At that moment, two people could be seen walking into the classroom. They had almost barged their way in and the first first thing they did was flash their badges towards the teacher which immediately made him take a step back. “We have already gotten permission from your Headmistress, we are here to look for one of your students, a boy by the name of Gary Dem.” The female explained as she looked over the class, stopping when she spotted a certain green head. Seeing the two of them, Gary immediately gulped because there was no way he could forget them. Those were the two White Rose agents that had found him snooping around Billy’s place. ‘Sh*t, did they find out anything?’ Gary wondered, lamenting his fate of seemingly not even being allowed to get one day off without any drama.
