Chapter 8: Fight back!

Today, Gary alking to school a lot slower than he usually would He was constantly looking around his surroundings, checking if there wasn’t anybody following hi members on TV as the same ones who had been after his e back Whatever was inside ang oing to do to me? The unknown blood, it has to be ht back to the syste

He stopped in the ulped

‘At least I hope it was the Underdogs, it couldn’t be…could it? I would have re the horrible thought from his head, he decided that he better hurry to school It was about the only thing that was nor shriek was heard

Looking around, Gary discovered the feinated frouys who had brought her there, with one of thehbourhood wasn’t exactly the best, but for soht so early in the …

‘Really, is it just that kind of day?’

Gary’s initial reaction was to just walk away He didn’t want to get involved, especially since there was nothing he could realistically do against four adult er Besides, if they were about to commit such an atrocity as to say that they were unarmed? Maybe they would do more than just beat hiroup of ht from the main road, around the back of one of the apartirl turned the corner, Gary’s sharp eyes spotted so on her uniform

It was his school’s crest She went to the same school as him

‘damn it, my own arse is already on the line Should I try and bluff, telling thee it’s clear that I’ht not be the best idea Sht, why did it have to be a girl?!”

In all honesty, if it had been a guy then Gary wouldn’t have struggled thisall over the world, and had bad things done to the in hopes of a better future

However, when he saw a girl being abducted, especially in his own neighbourhood, not too far fro the sa to his sister Who knehether she had a brother, ould blame himself for the rest of his life that he hadn’t been there? Even if she was an only child, what about her parents?

Gary considered creating a ruckus Looking around there weren’t many others that would help, and if he explained the situation he knew no one would for fear that the group of s It was easier to just hide their head in the sand, pretending not to have noticed the situation, telling the they could do…

Alternatively he could try to call the police, but one of the things he had learned in the Underdogs was that the police reacted slowly to such cases, not only because they were understaffed, but also because those higherup had been paid off, to make sure the response tiet here, whatever those guys were planning would have already happened by now

‘Looks like I got to figure this one out ht

As soon as he had made the decision to act, a notification screen appeared in front of hiirl!]

[You have assessed that there are no other options and you’re the only one she can rely on, are you really going to turn your back on her now? It’s time for you to show off your new skills!]

‘New skills? That’s right, I’m an Altered noell at least I think I aht? Hey, systes?! Do you want ?’

“Get away!” Gary heard the girl screaain, but it was quickly muffled up

He knew he didn’t have the ti he was known for, it was his tendency to just act Right noas no different, his legs had starteddown the alleyway When he took the turn, he could see one of the guys with his hands over the girl’s roup of men turned their heads and they didn’t look like the friendliest bunch, that was for sure Most of they trousers with a black top of so? damn it, I should have noticed sooner!’

No wonder they were able to act so brazenly in broad daylight Colour gangs usually were university students, or high school students, sos, but to Gary’s knowledge, there shouldn’t be any colour gang in the Underdog’s that wore the color black, which was a relief

“Kid, we’re feeling nice, so why don’t you just get out of here, and head back to school” One of thehim as just a stupid brat

Gary looked at the school uniforo to the sa for an excuse to avoid the current situation, but then he saw the fear in the girl’s eyes again She even had a similar hairstyle to his sister, only that her hair was black Seeing this was just building up the rage inside of hiet hit a few tiht?’ Gary tried to convince hi hi stance as Kirk had shown hihter

“Oh, looks like we have a knight in shi+ning arive you a little invitation,” one of theon the ht back to when he had landed a punch on the gangster that night, and to everything Kirk had taught hih’

Then, when the e, Gary threw out a perfect jab that even Kirk would likely praise hi but air The rabbed his fist

“Do you have any idea how obvious that punch was? Seriously, if we allowed ourselves to be hit by a in the first place!”
