My Werewolf System

Chapter 431: Special Lesson 1 (part 2)

Numba wasn’t the only one unhappy with the teams. Gary had never really interacted with either Wu or Snow. Apollo had been the only one among the three who had given him the time of day, while his friends had treated the green haired teenager like air during the meals.

Meanwhile, Apollo had paid special attention to Mr Corvus’ words. According to the adult, the teams were the way they were because they wanted to distribute the strength of both teams as evenly as possible. He knew the strength of his friends, as well as Sty, so the current team rosters told him a lot about the power of the other two…

Apollo was the first to change out of his outfit. Since they were all boys, there was no reason to waste time and ask for a changing cabinet. Besides, given his muscular body, he had nothing to hide. In fact, he was quite proud of his scars. Wu and Snow did the same, without uttering a word. Seeing this, Gary joined them as well.

It only took a few minutes for both sides to finish changing. The outfit that had been prepared for them was quite a bit thicker compared to their AFA uniform. It was flexible enough to bend, while being hard like a type of leather.

It was mostly black, with some accents of their team’s colour, and only covered the main parts of their body. Pieces for their arms, shoulders, body legs and such. It was clear it was designed in a defensive manner like a suit of armour, while not restricting their free movement.

Both groups stood opposite each other. Numba looked nervous because he had a thought in his head. If there were two teams, then it meant most likely they were going to be competing against each other in some manner. Still, there were also two separate doors on each side of the room. Which indicated they might not be facing each other directly.

“It’s time for me to explain what this special lesson is all about.” Mr Corvus stated. “As you might have already guessed, I haven’t led you here to teach you some theory. In fact, I won’t be the one teaching you at all today. It will solely depend on your own actions and your comprehension how much you will take away from this lesson.

“However, we understand that this might be difficult for some students. As such, before the next special lesson, I’ll prepare feedback on your performance, focusing on your lacking areas. Nevertheless, I can only recommend that you do your own due diligence without solely relying on me.

“Now onto the lesson itself. Although there are two groups, you will both be given the same task. The goal of this special lesson is to provide you with the ‘extra push’ you’ll need to ris

e above your peers. Holding your hand too much will only slow your progress down.

“Let me stress to you that this is NOT a competition. I want you to work together, as that will be key to passing this lesson. Once you’re inside, you’ll know what you have to do. I understand that a lot of what I said may not make a lot of sense. It’s because I have been told to be as vague as possible.

“Which is why I will now leave you with a few words. To pass this lesson, you must survive. or to fail… means death.”

Numba gulped, he wondered how an academy could condone this. However, then he remembered the cruel way the world worked at the moment, and the contract he had just signed. It wasn’t a saintly world.

‘They did say that they would do anything to ensure our survival… he must have said that last bit to keep us on our toes… right? Surely, if we are in trouble, they will step in to help.’ Numba told himself.

The two steel doors were heard opening at the same time, and both groups were told to walk in, on one side Apollo took the lead, as for the blue team, Snow was the one who decided to walk in front.

“I know you can be a bit crazy at times, Greeny, but let’s pass this together, alright? Wu and I have experience fighting together. Support us where you can and listen to my commands, and we should have no problems.” Snow said.

Not wanting to get in an argument before he even knew what the task was, Gary nodded. Before entering the room at the end, he gave Numba a thumbs up. The two doors then closed behind them.

Gary and the other two with him entered yet another large white room. There was nothing inside, but a steel door behind them, a steel door in front of them around fifty metres away, and some cameras that had been placed in every single corner and along the entire side.

“This is a pretty big room.” Wu said. “I’m guessing it’s going to be like those assessments we did, with the sticky black balls, or the last one to be hit. Whatever it is, I’m in for it!”

The two seemed excited, and as they were talking to each other, Gary went up to the wall, deciding to check out the room. That’s when he felt a deep scratch in the wall. It was hard to see from far because it seemed like they had painted over it, but up close the scratches on the wall were visible, and there were a lot more than one.

The next second, the closed door started opening up.

“GSHH TCH!”

Strange noises could be heard from behind it. The moment it was fully

opened, both Wu and Snow froze in place from shock.

“GSHTY HHH!!!”

The moment Gary saw it, he received a new notification.

[A new Quest has been received]

[A beast has been discovered]

[Kill the beast in order to gain Exp]

[Optional Quest; Consume the beast in order to gain stats.]
