Chapter 252 - Pawn Upgrade
Waking up, it felt like Gary had possibly gone through one of the longest weeks of his life. So much had happened on the weekend, it was quite unbelievable. The red colour gang had attacked the school.
Gary had saved Xin’s life and fought against Jayden Tiger, who turned out to be her brother, and the Howlers had taken over the Pincer gang. To top it all off, Gary had actually even created something called a beta wolf and turned himself into an Alpha.

[Exp 846/3002]
Seeing this message, Gary wasn't too concerned about himself, instead he was more concerned for Olivia. He started to think back to what happened last night in their little training session.
———
Without her little guards around, Gary had found it a lot easier to deal with the Lady Boss during their little fight. It was apparent that she was a lot faster at using the whip than at attacking him head on, and even she knew that as well.
However, it didn't look like Olivia was too used to fighting herself, even though she did seem experienced with the whip, though Gary had started to suspect that to stem from non-fighting related reasons.
The Alpha Werewolf had used this chance to vary his speed during a fight. Using Controlled Transformation, he benefited from small bursts here and there, making sudden movements, so he could reach his opponent easier, helping him disarm her.
Avoiding her whip made for good practice. It was a fast and painful weapon, despite his high Endurance. Despite his advantage in speed, Olivia managed to surprise him a few times, allowing her to get a hit in.
Pain was a good way to make someone not make the same mistake twice.
After that, Gary had attempted to train Olivia herself, since he wanted to know what exactly she could do. Her natural strength and such had improved, but she was nowhere near the level that the teenager was at. He estimated her to be around the same level as he had been, after he had just been turned, making him think that Billy might have been a special case.
‘Maybe… it's due to the person themselves before they were turned. Billy was already strong, after all. I already struggled to beat him when he was fully human, so no wonder he was such a monster. I should note this down as well somewhere.’
However, he was afraid that if he were to write it down, someone might stumble upon those notes. As such, Gary decided to just leave it as a mental note in his head. Unfortunately, all their attempts to have Olivia transform failed.
It was already a hard thing to explain, especially since the high schooler realised that it was actually something his system took care of for him, but even showing it did nothing for the woman. She was unable to do it, be it partially or fully. The only thing that did occur was that her eyes changed colour briefly, glowing in a slight blue when trying to activate that power.
They would fade soon after, though. Gary half expected this, since he had been unable to control his turning initially, and he guessed that Billy had also only succeeded after the first night of the full moon.
Still, they did make some progress. For one, they verified that Olivia still benefited from fast healing. After scratching her skin with his claw, they waited for a while, only to see it heal on its own. Naturally, this consumed Olivia’s Energy, making her hungry, but without a system to tell her exactly how hungry she was, she would have to rely on her stomach.
In the end, trying to figure out a few more things, Gary decided to open the system and see if he could spot anything. Underneath the Pack tab, he could see Olivia’s name.
Here he also saw that she had no class and was only at the Pawn Grade.
‘If she has all this information as well, then it should mean she can evolve, right? If she gets stronger, she might also be able to choose a class as well. Or maybe I'm the one who gets to pick the class? It could also just be automatically assigned, depending on what suits her the most?’
There was another issue, which was how to level her up? This was something the system didn’t have a stat for. Did she have to just keep fighting, go to the gym like he did? These were the only things he could guess.
‘Olivia… I want you to start going to the gym… also you should be eating 2kg of meat every day.’
———
Recalling given her that order, his face went bright red. The woman had looked at him like he was some type of freak. He had done his best to keep his composure, recalling that she was just his experiment. Now that he had her as a guinea pig, this really seemed like a game. If only this was some type of VR situation and not real life, he would be quite pleased.
After all the tests, Gary had come to one decision, while he was putting on his school uniform he had decided what to do with the Pawn Point. As tempted as the high schooler was to convert it into Stat Points or more Skill Points, he wanted to find out more about those Grades.
Since those points were so rare, and putting them into his Grade appeared to be the ‘natural’ way to use them, he decided to see what happens. If all went well with Olivia after the full moon, then he might consider turning the others as well.
Hopefully, a higher Grade would also increase his chances for successfully creating another Beta Werewolf. He didn’t want to gamble on what happens if it fails.

“What the f*ck?!” Gary cursed out loud.
