My Werewolf System

Chapter 201: Blame him!

Gary stood there with his fists down by his side, his knuckles slightly bleeding from hitting the bat. In his current form, his body was still human. He might no longer have the strength and speed of a regular one, but his skin was still just as fragile. He knew it based on the amount of times he had been stabbed.

The students sat there in disbelief, that out of all people, Gary had been the one to stand up and knock out a gang member. Not counting his own classmates, hardly anyone had known about him until his contribution at the Rugby match against Eton High. While he had briefly enjoyed some friendly greetings here and there, he had quickly gone back to being ‘that one kid who had dyed his hair green’.

At that moment, they all had the same thought, he was brave… or stupid. He had done something that none of them did, but at the same time, this was also an idiotic thing to do. As impressive as it was, he would face the same problem as John, there were more gang members than he alone could ever take.

The other red colour gang members understood that and were coming to surround him. They were a bit cautious after seeing him smash a wooden bat with brute strength. There were also still plenty of them, between where he was and where Mr Root and Riv were as well.

“GARY!” A female voice shrieked loudly. Everyone turned their heads to see whoever had let out this banshee cry. As it turned out, it was another teacher, Miss Bedford. The pear shaped older woman with glasses was huffing and panting.

“Why did you do that?! Don’t you understand that the rest of us might get punished for what you just did!” She continued to shout. “Don’t fight them! Just let them have whatever they want and they will be gone!”

“Please, you’re not going to hurt us because of what he did to you, right?” The teacher practically begged Riv. “Just hurt him! Please don’t hurt us!” She cried again, looking at the other gang members that were around them.

Hearing these words, Tom had to hold his tongue from cursing at their teacher. Gary was the only one that had decided to step up and stop them from further hurting Mr Root. He was risking his own hide to protect everyone.

However, unlike Tom, another voice suddenly sounded out. “She’s right, please don’t hurt us! We aren’t his friends. We don’t even know him that well.” Surprisingly, it was Steven. He was one of the students Josh had asked to fight off the invaders, yet he hadn’t joined in at the last moment. “He’s just another one of those troublemakers and delinquents. We are no part, just take them!”

Soon, more students were chiming in out of fear, seeing this scene, Riv couldn’t help but laugh deviously once again. The red colour gang leader found it deeply satisfying seeing humans reveal their true nature as beings who cared about nothing else but themselves.

“Are they all stupid?!” Innu whispered in frustration as he clenched his own fists in anger. It was one thing for the other students and teachers to be cowering in fear, hoping to get out of this situation, but actively distancing themselves from Gary…

“What do they think is going to happen? That they just beat some of us up and call it a day? What if they’ve come to take all the girls away, or take all of us? Would they still be so willing to sit back and do nothing?

“I bet if they were the ones getting hit out there, they would be crying and begging for his help as well.”

In reality, there were more than a few students who agreed with Gary’s approach. Unfortunately, just like John, they were too afraid of the consequences to voice their opinion now, much less act.

“Shut up!” Gary shouted back at Mrs Bedford and his fellow schoolmates. “I’m not fighting them or for any of you. Why the hell should I give two sh*ts about you guys and what you think? I have people I care about, and people I don’t care about, so I’m getting out of here!”

Running forward, Gary was heading straight for Mr Root. Suddenly, one of the red gang members stood in front of him. Not slowing down his momentum, the green haired teenager rugby tackled him, lifting him up into the air, and slammed the person down before the other red colour gang members could do anything.

The back of their head hit the hall floor, and they were in such great pain that they weren’t going to get up any time soon. Seeing this, though, the other members switched to a more aggressive approach. They intended to hit him from the back with their weapons first, but before they could reach him, another surprising turn of events occurred.

One of them felt their shirt being pulled back, while another received an elbow right into his face. Two others had been kicked in the back of the leg right where their knee was, causing them to fall to the floor. Before they could even turn around to see who had done that, they got finished off with another kick to their head.

None of the red colour gang members had come close to touching Gary.

“Let’s get out of here. I’m with you!” Innu shouted.

“I hope we’re among those people you care about.” Kai smirked.

“I hope you don’t mind me tagging along. I think I have better chances with you than all those backstabbers over there.” Blake stated.

The three of them couldn’t sit back any longer, and since Gary had decided to act, they couldn’t just stand and do nothing. This was their best chance to get out of the situation.

“Damn, look at all those guys showing off.” Marie sighed.
