My Werewolf System
Chapter 495: A Confession Letter

Unfortunately, the mysterious letter wasn't signed, meaning that anyone could have written it. He had never really seen his Xin write, so looking at the letters wasn’t helping him in the least. Luckily, his new senses gave him one way to try and find out the writer of his letter.

Taking a sniff Gary tried to catch a whiff of a particular scent. Back when his crush had been kidnapped, he had managed to find her. Since that day, Gary has had her scent locked away in his mind, yet there was no trace of it on the letter.

‘It could still be her right?’ Gary thought, his heart starting to beat a little slower. ‘Our rooms get cleaned daily, and the letter had to have been dropped off and not too long ago. What should I do?’

On one hand it could be Xin calling out Gary after being unable to talk with him during their last meeting. Still, it it was highly unlikely for her to do it this way. If she wanted to contact him, why not meet him directly or at least ask for his number, if not directly, indirectly through his friends?

Then there was the location, the octagon. Whoever wanted to meet him might have chosen the place for a fight. The question was how many people were there in the academy that wanted to fight Gary? There were only a handful of people that he had run in with.

‘Ah man, I know I should just leave it. … but we’re in the academy so it should be safe, right? Even if it’s not her and someone challenges me, nothing is stopping me from walking away… Besides, if it’s not her, whoever wants to talk to me will probably keep pestering me.’ Gary thought to himself.

There was still quite a bit of time for the teenager to change his mind. Eventually, curiosity got the better of him, yet instead of waiting around, he decided to go to the meeting place beforehand. It felt impossible for him to just ignore it now.

It was evening, around 9PM, and to his surprise there were quite a few students who were training by themselves. Some were hitting away at the special heavy bags, others were doing drills. There were even a couple of students in the sparring ring, though they weren't really sparring and were just imitating certain moves in slow motion letting the other person react to it.

It reminded Gary that he was more safe than he realised. He had completely forgotten that in the main academy they were only allowed to fight with the teacher’s permission. Sitting down on one of the side benches, he watched everyone hard at work, pouring sweat as they did their best to improve their bodies to the next level.

One person in particular caught his eye, as well as those around him. The student was hitting the heaviest bag in the room, and with quite the large amount of force. With each hit the bag would do a swing but he would hit it again as it swung back. The impressive thing wasn't just the force but also the student’s stamina. Gary continued to watch him for a couple minutes and he was hitting it with the same amount of force speed and power without looking tired.

‘That guy’s name was Wu if I remember correctly. I didn’t realise it during the special lessons, but that guy can really hit.’

Gary continued to watch him, and more, and more students were stopping their own training to observe him who just continued to hit the bag, not caring that his whole body was dripping with sweat. There was a dark mark around him from all the sweat his body had made.

‘I thought I had a crazy amount of stamina as a Werewolf, but I seem to pale in comparison to him. I’m not even sure how to feel about it.’

Without noticing it, as the time went by it was time for Gary to have his meeting with a certain someone, but when he looked around the only two people left were him and Wu.

‘It couldn’t be… was Wu the one to send that letter?’ Gary scratched his head. ‘But what reason would Wu have to send it? Hang on, ‘I want to talk about what happened last time’, does he want to ask me about what happened during the special lesson?’

Gary continued to wonder what he would be asked, and what he should say, yet Wu simply continued training until the clock struck midnight. At that point, the student stopped mid punch. He grabbed his sports bottle that was by his side. After quenching his thirst, Wu finally seemed to notice Gary at his side and raised an eyebrow.

“What are you doing here? Don’t tell me you watching me the whole time, I feel… so exposed.” Wu exclaimed as he covered up his chest, though for some reason only his nipples.

“Oh, shut up!” Gary shouted red faced, not having expected this level of shamelessness. Seeing as Wu had been hanging out with Apollo, the Werwolf unconsciously believed him and his friends to be the serious type, yet now it seemed that at least one of them might be a bit of a goofball. “I was just waiting for someone, that's all. You just happened to be training in here.”

It was quite clear that Wu wasn’t the one that had written the letter. Scratching his head Gary was wondering who it was. He intended to wait a few minutes before giving up, but soon enough the doors opened on the other side of the room.

A dark skinned man, with several bracelets on both of his arms came. Gary racked his brain, yet he was unable to remember where exactly he seen the other party.

“Oh, so your date is with one of the debut students. Interesting, you do you, man, I don’t judge” Wu noted from the side. That’s when it hit the Werewolf. It was one of the students that had fought against his group when they first came to the real academy, although Gary didn't remember much about his fight.

“It's nice to meet you again, Gary. You don’t seem to remember me, but that’s ok. My name is Shingi. I'm happy to see that you could make it today.” As Shingi said those words his voice was shaking slightly and so was his body, which is why he grabbed one arm with his other hand to stop himself.

“I know you might find it weird as to why I called you, but ever since I saw you train in here, since I saw you rip a hole through that bag, I haven't been able to sleep properly. I was worried about what would happen in the fight, fearing for my friend's life. To be honest, I thought that you might kill him, accidentally or not, but in the end, he lived.

However, that whole fight that day was strange. For someone with your capabilities, that fight should have been a walk in the park, especially since my friend didn’t believe me when I warned him about you. That’s why I wanted to you, why didn’t you use your full strength in that fight?” Shingi asked with a serious look, and there was a larger figure behind him, he wasn't alone.

“Coincidentally, I’m also curious about the answer to that question.” Eddy asked, his arms folded.
