“Amazing performance! Did you all see that?!” Mr Root seemed to be ecstatic at Gary’s performance. “Last week he was laying on his arse, and now he put Blake on his back side instead.”

Honestly, even Gary was impressed with his own performance, something like that would have been impossible for him before. Although being able to follow Blake’s movements, he had always lacked the strength or speed to act on it, so this was a huge improvement.

“You’re on the team and will be playing in the first match, broccoli head!’ Mr Root shouted as the field was being cleared up, as it was the end of practice for the day.

Gary, for a brief second having forgotten about what had happened to him, suddenly noticed that Blake was still on the ground and quickly came over, offering him a helping hand.

“I’m sorry about that! You’re not hurt or anything, are you?” Gary asked, worried that he might have scratched him or broken a few bones. He had yet to find out just how strong he was in comparison to a human, something that he had not taken into account in all his excitement.

“Don’t worry, I’m a lot better than you were yesterday.” Blake answered jokingly as he accepted Gary’s hand. He could see that Gary wasn’t paying attention to him directly, for his eyes were aimed right past him, toward the girls who were leaving the field.

‘Seems like Coach’s method really got you motivated.’ Blake thought with a smile.

The others got to work clearing the rest of the field, putting away the cones and the balls that would be used for practice. Tom was one of these helpers and he was also the one to have stumbled upon the very ball that Gary had taken out of Blake’s hand.

Picking it up, he noticed that it was completely deflated and when turning it around he could see there was a large puncture wound. One could have still been a coincidence, but the football had five going into the ball as if someone had pierced it with their fingers.

‘First the desk in class and now the ball? Gary what the hell did you do? No, this isn’t a movie or some book. I’m sure there has to be a perfectly normal explanation for this… but then why did you ask me all those questions about werewolves earlier?’ At this moment, Tom was feeling more distant from his friend than ever, as the whole rugby team had congratulated him on his performance and welcomed him onto the team.

Walking back home, Gary had a huge smile on his face. It had been one horrible day followed by one of the best days of his life he mused, but soon he was reminded by the troubles he still had to face.

‘My heartbeat, it looks like the faster it gets, the more it affects my transformation. Sh*t, doesn’t that mean if I get too excited I might fully turn? How the hell would I explain suddenly growing fur or becoming larger? And what was that thing with the mark when I shook Kai’s hand earlier.’

Thinking about this, he opened up the system screen, and information about the mark was displayed.

[Bond Mark]

[A Bond Mark is a type of marking you can leave when you have made a sincere promise with another party. Those that are marked are given a unique scent, allowing the user to track down the Bond at any point in time. If the promise gets broken the marking will break as well.]

[Those with a Broken Mark will automatically become hunting targets.

Additional stats will be awarded if one manages to successfully hunt their target down!]
