My Werewolf System

Chapter 425: The plan (part 2)

Finding his room, Gary pressed the key card the nurse had handed him against the door and it had unlocked, opening up. The smell of freshness wafted into his nose. It felt similar to the sensation one experienced when checking out a hotel room.

To the left, there was a nice kitchen area with two stoves to allow the students to do some home cooking. Then there was a fridge next to it. To the right, was a large bathtub that doubled up as a shower.

Finally, walking on a bit more, there was quite a large empty space with a high ceiling, as well as a few basic tools in the room such as dumbells, and finally a double bed. For an apartment for a single person, it was beyond what Gary had expected, especially since he still remembered where he had slept in the facility during the first few days…

Of course, it was nowhere near as high-end as the luxury rooms he had enjoyed at the end, but as the professors had already stated, that was special for the facilityʼs circumstances. Living the life he had lived, he was not one to complain that he had suddenly been robbed of his luxury.

‘Crap, why does my heart hurt a little?’ Gary thought. Thinking of the joy of this place, and everything he started to think about his mother. Before he had left, he had visited her at the hospital, but her state had not changed. He wished that she would have woken up, so he could have told her not to worry about him anymore.

Alas, he knew that wishful thinking wouldn’t change anything about her condition.

When heading to the bed, Gary saw that a sheet had been left out for him, and it looked like it was his rota for the week. It had a timetable with what time all his lessons would be and when he should arrive.

It reminded him of being back in school again, just as he was about to read the thing, he heard a knock on the door. Looking through the peephole, Gary smiled as he opened it.

“HEY, Look at you, it seems like everything was okay in the end,” Ian said, already walking in.

He wasn’t and with him was both Izzy and Numba as well. They instantly made themselves welcome, just like they had done in the facility. Ian casually took a seat. While Numba sat next to him on the bed.

“How did you guys know that I was here?” Gary asked.

“The supervisors told us.” Numba chuckled. “After that little fight we had to distract everyone, it was impossible for us to get out unscathed. Fortunately, they bought our story about us fighting over a girl and since we’ve just arrived they chose to be lenient.

“However, they did warn us that the next time we’ll get a severe punishment, but we’ll just have to avoid there being a next time. Anyway, when we asked about you, they told us that you’ve already been discharged and sent to your room. By the way, we’re your next door neighbours.”

It wasnʼt too big a surprise, it would make sense for them all to be in the red part of the building and next to each other.

“Thank you…thank you all for helping me, and I’m sorry for acting weird the last couple of days as well. I know what you saw might have been a bit scary.” Gary finally said.

“Hey, I already knew you could break bones.” Ian pointed at his leg. “And did you see the look on Ryanʼs face? I swear, he must have shat his pants when you nearly clawed!”

“How…how did they stop me in the end?” Gary asked.

“It was Xin.” Izzy immediately replied. “She got up behind you, and knocked you out on the spot.”

Of all the people that were present, Gary had expected that Eddy would have been the one to stop him. He didnʼt remember the teacher doing such a thing, so he had assumed that one of supervisor must have snuck up on him to knock him out. Xin hadn’t even been on his list of suspects.

‘Is she really that skilful? I might have been out of my mind, but I still had a lot of Health left… I wonder how I would have fared if she had been my opponent from the start. Oh well, maybe we’ll have the chance in the future. Now, should I thank her for knocking me the next time I see her?

‘Thereʼs Xin the rest of the AFA, Altered Hunters, White Rose, and a number of gangs that still could topple me when it comes to terms of power.’

It was then that Numba picked up Gary’s rota off the bed.

“Ah, thatʼs good, you have the same rota as me,” Numba said.

“Donʼt we all have the same rota?” Gary asked.

“We do, but Iʼm guessing he’s talking about another thing,” Izzy replied. “Numbaʼs sheet was the only one with another lesson called, ‘Special Lesson’. It’s a class that’s being taught once a week, but neither one of us has it.”

Looking at the sheet, Gary could see it was there, and it made him wonder what it was.

“Alright, I guess we should let you rest up.” Ian stretched. “Today was pretty chilling for us, but I imagine tomorrow, they will start pushing us. Especially since we got in trouble. We should let you get an early night in a proper bed.”

The others agreed and headed to the door, but before closing it, Izzy had one more thing to say.

“Take a look in the wardrobe, there is a nice surprise waiting for you.” With that the female Altered closed the door.

“The wardrobe?” Gary thought, when opening it up, there was a small box with the top open. He pulled it out, and opened the lid. Inside, there were a few of his valuable items that he needed to hand over before joining the facility.

The most important one of all that was inside was his phone. Picking it up, Gary immediately went to turn it on, and luckily it still had a bit of juice left.

‘I can finally contact the others, and see how they are doing.’ He thought with a smile on his face.
