My Werewolf System

Chapter 1215: Kai Is Sorry (Part 1)

The worst possible outcome had occurred, in the Howler membersʼ minds and Blackjackʼs mind as well.

They knew that out of everyone there, the most important person needed for the task was Gary. Blackjack knew his strength well and could only imagine he had gotten stronger.

If the Werewolves found out about the delivery they were trying to make, it would be impossible to deliver the items to Edvard without the help of Gary.

And yet here there was one person standing in their way. Blackjack had the thought to just jump over to the other side, and force a reverse decision out of Saiber, but it wouldnʼt do them well at all.

”I failed?” Gary said, as he stood up not even picking up the Warhammer. ”But Iʼm completely fine, I can still fight, thereʼs a lot more I can show, come on letʼs go again.”

”Right, right, but as I stated in the real world out there you would have been dead,” Saiber commented. ”And then, our fellow men who were in groupings with you would have one less person to cover for them. Or worse, some might try and save you, and in the end they would get hurt in the process. I have every right, to take you off this outing.”

Gary opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he didnʼt know what to say. What words he could use to convince Saiber to take him on this task.

He started to think of alternatives, maybe he could follow the group into Ruin city from afar, that would work, but it would give a higher chance of failure about this whole thing.

Or maybe Gary should just charge in and use his full strength against Saiber. If that was to happen though, then it would make the situation worse rather than better.

”Oh well, I guess two of them will do right, itʼs not that big of a deal?” Kim said.

Kai immediately turned around, his eyes fierce as he looked at Kim. Did she not understand the situation? Out of everyone there, they needed Gary to go on this mission.

”Saiber donʼt you think youʼre making a rash decision?” Blackjack stated. ”Donʼt let your anger towards me get in the way of your evaluation.

”You are a skilled hunter, and even you should have seen the skill he had to avoid Plutoʼs attacks, and the sense he had in that fight.”

”I saw the result, and what I said stays true,” Saiber replied. ”Do you really think, I would be so unprofessional that I would let a grudge get in the way of my decision making? I think the one that might be getting emotional in this is you.

”You have three apprentices, I already passed the first one, and failed the second. If you think I was being unfair, I would have just failed them all.”

Although to the extremely skilled, Saiberʼs argument made no sense. Blackjack knew that to all of the other Altered hunters around them, it seemed like he was telling the truth.

”Iʼm not asking a lot, but Iʼm asking you to give him a chance,” Blackjack pleaded again. ”You know as well as I do, that based on his performance that he could take on any of the three-star hunters here. If you donʼt accept him, then there are plenty that shouldnʼt be on this mission.”

After hearing Blackjack say those words there were some grunts and moans from the others. They didnʼt like them stating that an apprentice of all things were better than them.

Seeing Garyʼs performance they didnʼt exactly understand what had occurred either.

”I can vouch for him. If this mission fails, then you can blame it on me, but he wonʼt slow us down!” Blackjack said with strong determination.

He met with the eyes of Saiber for a few moments until Saiber had given his answer.

”Did you hear me, or did you go mad in the time that you were gone?” Saiber replied. ”The decision has been made he will not go on this mission.”

At his witʼs end, Blackjack honestly felt like he only had one choice, he would have to find the time to force the decision to be made.

”Donʼt worry,” Blackjack said. ”As he approached Gary. I can make him change his mind. Donʼt worry about it for now, and just stand by your friends.”

Gary had no choice, but to believe that Blackjack could sort something out. It was the only thing he could do.

ʼI messed up, I shouldnʼt have pulled back as much as I did, or I could have just picked another weapon,ʼ Gary thought to himself. ʼI should have realized, it would have been tricky.ʼ

”You donʼt have to worry about anything,” Kai said as he patted Garyʼs back. ”You performed well enough. I know you have doubts but nine times out of ten, that performance would have been fine. But this is the one time that it didnʼt work and itʼs not your fault.”

Gary didnʼt know if Kai was saying that just to make him feel better or if it was the truth, but either way he was happy to hear it.

”Alright come on then, itʼs time for the last of you lot to come and do the assessment,” Saiber shouted out. ”I hope that the next one isnʼt as big of a disappointment.”

Pluto repositioned himself, and with the others having already taken the assessment, there was really only one person left and that was Kai.

ʼKai should be alright, he can guess how much he should show based on my failure so he should be fine,ʼ Gary thought.

As Kai went to move forward though, he whispered a few words.

”Iʼm sorry Gary.”

”Sorry?” Gary repeated as he saw Kaiʼs back walk in front of him. ”Why would he be sorry…”
