My Werewolf system Chapter 407 (Patreon)

At first, the talented top students didn’t expect much from this group. After all, they knew that as time went on those that would pass from the facility would get worse and worse.

On top of that, the last lot were beyond what any of them had expected. Although none of them had lost their matches when fighting, it certainly was one of the hardest matches they had faced.

Apollo and his gang were better than some of the students that had already been studying in the AFA for a year. In fact, they imagined that even in the AFC they would be able to do relatively well if they were placed in it now.

After all, the AFC allowed students from all Altered academies, not just the AFA, to join. It was just that those directly from the AFA had an advantage due to their connections.

Still, after seeing what Ian was able to do in his fight against Shngi, the others thought that this lot weren't too bad. They showed a lot of potentials, and sometimes that was more important.

This was why, they were now expecting a lot from the current Rank 1, and that included the teacher Eddy.

‘I was informed that there were some special circumstances with this group, but I still would have thought that the Green haired student would have made it as rank 1.’ Eddy thought.

The professors had kept to their promise, and wouldn’t tell any of the others what had occurred. Which was why it was natural for them to think that Numba was relatively special.

In the ring, Numba had gained some confidence after hearing Gary’s words, but it was soon starting to fade.

“I'm in the ring. I'm finally here…I have to show that I can do something. I have to at least do something, so I can continue to help our family grow..and I want to show you Gary, that you can use us in the future.’ Numba thought.

“Fight!”

Immediately, unlike Ian, Numba had transformed straight away, the horns on his head appeared, and this time his feet started to change slightly as well. Turning into what looked semi like a goat's hoof.

While in the ring, the fighters didn’t wear anything on their feet and were barefooted unlike in the facility. Just like the time before, an explosive power caused Numba to shoot off like a rocket.

He went forward with his head pointed out.

‘Come on, do what the others did, I expect you to pivot. It seems like you have all been taught the same thing. So I’ll use the last few fights to my advantage.’ Numba thought, getting his fist by his side ready.

However, Xin didn't move out of the way, and instead just stood there. She took a fighting stance and just as Numba's horns had entered her range, she threw out the palm of her hand to the side.

Immediately, it had hit the large horn of Numba’s and he could feel the energy from the palm strike rattle through his whole body. At the same time, his entire head was chucked off to the side.

The momentum in his own legs, made it so he crashed into the cage. His horn went right through one of the mesh gaps, and the horns had bent the metal. Now Numba was stuck.

“I need to get out before she hits me!” Numba said, as he pushed off with his strength away from the wall. The second his horns had become free, Numba felt his legs shaking.

They were wobbly and the next second, he fell to the ground now on one knee.

‘What..was that attack, what just happened to me? Why won't my legs work!’ Numba thought.

At the same time, he could see that Xin was just standing there, looking at him. At any point and time, she could have struck him while his back was turned, yet she hadn’t done.

“I won’t strike you when your back is against me.” Xin said as if she could read his mind.

Laughter could be heard from down below, mainly coming from Ryan.

“Are they serious, has the AFA really gone downhill? The number one student that passed through the facility is a freaking goat Altered. What’s he going to do, spit and chew at his opponents.”

Hearing the taunts Xin was the one that stared at Ryan, telling him to be quiet with her eyes. She had used the palm strike, with a strange inner power she had on others before, and they had been knocked out, but this one in front of her. It was clear that he had a strong will.

The question was though, would he stand?

‘Again, people are laughing at me again…I can't take it. What is wrong with these guys, who just sits there and laugh at others' hard work?’ Numba thought as he placed both hands on his knee. He pushed on it with both hands as hard as he could, hoping that there was some way he could stand.

His whole leg was shaking, he was biting down on his teeth.

“ARGHHH!” Numba shouted as he successfully stood up on two feet. He stumbled a bit but got in a fighting stance again. “I did it!”

“Yes, you did,” Eddy said. “But the fight is over. How am I meant to allow you to fight in that condition when you can barely even stand.”

Eddy was already entering the cage. Numba tried to argue his case, but when trying to move towards Eddy, he started to lean forward as if he was about to fall over until the teacher had caught him just seconds before.

Xin had gone back to her seat and sat down folding her arms again. She was ready to watch the next matches but there was one person that wanted to say something.

“Hey, didn't you say that you only go out with those that are stronger than you?” Ryan asked. “You just beat that number 1 guy with ease. So the green haired man can't be stronger than him. So why don't you go out with me, or was that just some type of excuse.”

“It's not an excuse.” Xin replied. “Beating me is a minimum to my requirements and as my history with Gary, that is none of your business now stop bothering me, before I beat you myself.”

A tut was heard as Ryan walked away, not really thinking it was fair, but then again what could he do, he only hoped he would be fighting next so he could beat the green-haired student in front of Xin.

“Alright, the next fight, rank 5!” Eddy declared.

It was time for Izzy to go up, and when she stood up she looked to be the least nervous out of them all. She walked and entered the stage while the others gave her words of encouragement, even Numba who had just thought himself cheered for her.

As for her opponent, he was a silent bowl haired cut student. From the beginning since entering the palace, he hadn’t said a word, and the expression on his face had stayed the same.

‘This is perfect, this is exactly what I need.’ Izzy thought.

“Begin!” Eddy called out.

Just like all of the ones before them, Izzy ran out first as well. There were many disappointed faces seeing this because it was clear that the tactic of attacking first wasn’t working out, and when Izzy threw a punch, the other student moved his head and threw an over right counter hitting her in the face and sending her to the floor.

Izzy had a little bit of blood in her mouth but stayed on the ground for a full ten seconds.

“Well…I guess that's the end of that fight as well.” Eddy said, shaking his head. Feeling disappointed by most of this group.

‘There’s no chance of me winning a fight against these monsters. I tried to figure out a way, and no one else could, so what difference would I make? This was the most efficient way to lose a match, and also without revealing my altered form. Which will still give me some element of surprise when fighting others.

‘I don;t plan to make it far in the AFC like everyone else. I'm just here to make connections.’

Izzy wiped the blood from her mouth, a s she went to the others with a smile on her face. She wanted to show them all that she was not upset about the decision, and they all understood that Izzy must have done that on purpose.

“I guess there is no need to use the random number generator anymore. Because there are only two people that are left that can fight.” Eddy claimed.

On the other side, Ryan was smiling and punching his fist into the palm of his hand, meanwhile, Gary had taken the towel off from his head and stood on his two feet.

“Let's get this over with.” Gary said in a pained voice.
