The next day had arrived and it was now morning. However, Numba didn’t get much sleep, after the call ended with his father he sent him multiple messages updating him on the situation, after that Numba had one more call in the morning. For the first time since he had been adopted by the family, he had heard his strong and unmovable father break down and started to cry over the phone. Hearing this, it tore Numba’s own heart. Why wasn’t he born a few years earlier, maybe then he would be part of the business already, helping them sort out this mess. In fact, it was then that Numba even offered to come back. He was a lot stronger than before, and being part of the AFA already meant that he was a lot better than other Altereds out there.“No!” Harry shouted back. “I… haven't given up yet, but you being here will make no difference. In fact, I’m more worried that you might get involved in all of this because I was the one that brought you in. You have always been a great son, and it’s on
Following behind the teacher, Gary had no clue what this was about, and it didn’t look like Eddie was going to say anything to him either. Without turning around, he was walking along routes, passing by areas of the academy the teenager had never seen before while whistling along with a giant grin on his face.Eventually, after they had past some fields, the duo headed for a large rectangle building. Once the teacher was the inside, Gary started to have an idea of what this place was. There was high tech training equipment inside, similar to what they used in the academy, but for it to be tucked away, as well as all the equipment being the latest models inside, he had an inkling as to what this was. Besides the fact that there was one person in the room still, pretty much gave it away. “Shingi, how many times have we been over this?” Eddie asked in an annoyed tone. “Resting is an equally important part of your training period!” The adult could only let out a frustrated sigh, since
Shingi and Eddie waved Xin and Gary off, giving the two ‘lovebirds’ the rest of the afternoon to do whatever they wanted. The only problem was that neither one of them really knew what they were supposed to do due to the lack of their dating experience and neither one having been told about this date beforehand. It didn’t help that the AFA students had to apply for leave beforehand, so they were unable to do anything exciting outside the academy.As the two of them were thinking about what they should do together, each one was just following the other in silence, resulting in the two of them heading straight towards the large field. It was more or less a track field that had multiple pieces of equipment for the debut students to train outside. It wasn’t utilised a lot because most of the students in the AFA were aiming for the AFC, making them prefer practising indoors, specifically in the cages where real fights would occur. “I’m sorry.” Xin eventually broke the silence that was sta
Turning away, Gary answered a bit embarrassed. “He told me that if I wanted to be with you, that I should come here.”There weren't many things that startled Xin, but this was certainly one of them. If she was hearing Gary right, the reason he came here was because of her. Although that was sweet to hear…it saddened Xin. ‘It must be nice, for someone to be so free that they can join the AFA just for a reason like that, while here I am trying to gain my freedom.’ Xin thought, her mood souring a bit.Gary threw the ball again, and although he believed he had copied Xin down to the last part before her flinching, his ball hit the 75 point mark again. “Have you visited Slough lately, or talked to your father about anything?” Gary peeked from the corner of his eye when he asked this question. Xin then threw the ball perfectly hitting the same spot, dead in the centre scoring a 100 points. “No, I’ve put all my attention into the AFA. For now, that's all I want to think about until I hav
During their free period in the afternoon, Numba decided to go off ahead on his own, heading towards the dormitory. Having found out what his father was going through, he couldn't get it off his mind. A part of him was afraid that if he stayed around the others, there was a good chance that he would just blurt something out by accident.Before Numba had met the others, he hadn’t really been someone who would filter his speech, a trait which hadn’t exactly gotten him a lot of friends in his life. Exactly for that reason, the last thing he wanted to do was get his new friends involved into his family’s mess. On his way, a student with a beanie was standing in the hallway, leaning up against his room. “Hey, you’re Numba, right?” The student asked while chewing a piece of gum. “My name’s Mike. Miss Patel sent me to fetch you.”The Goat Altered didn’t recognise this student immediately. There were only so many students in a class, yet there were multiple classes due to number of students
Numba had been so badly hurt that he was fading in and out of consciousness, but a deep rumbling voice which shook even his core caused him to look through his blurry eyes. ‘That can’t be… is that Gary? … How is he here? Why is he here?’ Numba’s brain was too muddled to make sense out of the situation. He hadn’t had the chance to tell anyone about where he was going, and at the same the place they were at, wasn’t a place a student would just stumble across.“Please… don’t get kicked out of the academy for my sake.” Numba quietly muttered with his limited strength.Under normal circumstances, Gary might have listened to him, but the Werewolf was only seeing red. The scent of blood from both Izzy and Numba had wafted in his nose, so his instincts told him to punish those responsible for hurting his friends.“Look at this guy!” The student in the back ridiculed Gary’s tough guy approach. “Something is seriously wrong with your whole batch. Your friend down there also thought himself a h
Twiddling his fingers on his desk, Kai was sitting in his office at the Wolf's Pool Club, but once again, he wasn’t on his own. He was with Olivia, and both of them had their masks next to them.“What a very interesting development.” Olivia couldn't help but note with a devious smile. “Tell me, did you know this was going to happen?”Shaking his head, Kai smiled back. “Do you really think I somehow have the ability to see into the future? The only thing I can say is, people are more predictable than you think. There are only so many scenarios that I can account for, I just do what I can to prepare for all of them equally. Even now, I am unsure as to what will happen.”Looking toward the staircase Olivia folded her arms. “Sometimes I forget that you’re just a 17 year old brat. If only you were a few years older.”“Sorry, but even though you look this young, I’m not really the type to date someone who is-”Before Kai could finish his sentence Olivia had pulled out her whip, her eyes shi
Inside the medical bay in the academy, Gary had stayed by Numba’s side who hadn't said much after asking for help. Eventually one of the nurses informed them that Izzy was well enough and back to her normal self. Not long after, she had entered the room. Numba would still take some time to heal. When they entered the room, though she hadn't entered herself, she had done so with Ian. While Gary stayed by Numba’s side, Ian had done this for Izzy. Immediately after finding out what had happened, Ian burst into the room saying sorry, asking who they were and wanting to take them all down. But as they were exiting their room, they soon saw that multiple students were being brought in, the ones that had done this to Izzy in the first place. It looked like someone had already got to them, before Ian could. To calm down, they both decided to go visit Numba, and since he wasn’t allowed to leave they were worried that he was in a worse situation. Thankfully Numba was okay, and now, Gary, Ian
