Gary wasn’t sure whether the supervisor behind him was out cold, badly hurt, or had died. Honestly, he didn’t care about the adult’s fate as long as he was out of the fight, because right now if the Werewolf stood any chance of making it out of this situation, he would have to defeat the lead supervisor in front of him.
‘Just what the hell is in their stingers?! I can already feel that stuff affecting me.’ Gary thought as he noticed his transformed feet felt off as if he had sat on them for too long.
The system had informed him about the decrease in his body’s performance, but at first, it hadn’t been too bad. However, given the tempo it was getting worse at, he was under a serious time constraint. Gary had intended to conserve his Energy at the start of the fight, to find the best way to deal with the lead supervisor, in case he had more surprises in him like Sty’s ability to fly.
However, he understood that his best chance to win was to go full out… for as long as he could.
Since the head supervisor was close, Gary was able to run across the floor a couple of times, before he leapt up through the air. The Insect Altered tried to fly away, to avoid getting grabbed. However, he was too late, the Werewolf had successfully latched onto the bottom of his legs.
For a second, the two fell towards the floor, as Gary’s sudden weight was added. However, the next moment the wings were sent into overdrive as they started to flutter at an extreme rate, lifting the two of them back into the air.
“Get off me, you damn monster!” The supervisor lifted his hand that still had its stinger out, and threw it down, punching Gary on the shoulder. It had gone through his thick hide, and it was the first time a punch had hit him so cleanly.
[-28 HP]
[135/200 HP]
The transformed teenager felt a mix of pain from his shoulder getting crushed by the stinger. Due to the injury, the grip and strength in his right arm had gotten loose, making him let go and now only holding on to the supervisor with his healthy hand.
‘That freaking hurt…it was a big blow as well, but I need to hold on.’
Gripping his left hand, he used his claws to pierce into the Head supervisor's leg. While he was shielded by strong armour on his torso and back, the same wasn’t true for his leg. Now with a better hold and before any more damage could be done to him, the Werewolf swung his body up, pulling his weight with a single arm.
[Emergency healing has been used]
Gary was unable to heal back his Health with Emergency healing, since only a skill like Claw Drain could do that, but it was very effective to mend his broken bones. Most importantly, it was quick as well.
“Now it's my turn!” Gary shouted as soon as his shoulder was fixed.
[Skill activated Claw Drain]
[-15 Energy]
Gary had positioned himself, so his legs alone were wrapped around his opponent's body, allowing himself to be held up and both his hands were free. Not wasting time, he swiped at the supervisor's chest.
His claws went in deeper this time compared to before, as chunks of flesh were ripped off and fell to the ground. With more strength, his fingers were able to go through the heavy strange armour.
[+3 HP]
[+5 HP]
[+2 HP]
At the same time, Gary was getting his Health back as he continued to do this. Fully focused on striking his opponent, the teenager didn’t notice his surroundings. The next moment, he was crushed up against the side of the wall.
The Insect altered in his struggle had flown at full speed, trying to get off his furry passenger in any way possible. The second Gary’s grip had weakened, the supervisor used his leg to kick him off, sending him crashing into the floor.
[76/200 HP]
Getting up, Gary’s chest felt heavy, but what was worse, was his legs which were weak. They were wobbly, and his eyes were drowsy.

“You really are a fool!” The supervisor screamed, his hand held over his chest. The attack had been very effective, and a lot of blood was flowing out. The grimace on his face was not hiding the pain he was in. “I admit that you’re strong, but you’re also an idiot! The more I get to use these stingers of mine on you, the quicker it will affect your body!
“How does it feel, are you tired yet?” The Insect Altered laughed at the dishevelled state of the student. “All I need to do is avoid you at all costs, and wait for it to take proper effect. And let me tell you, once you take that nap, it will be the last thing you do!”
Hearing this, Gary didn’t doubt that the adult was bluffing. After everything that had happened, it was impossible for both of them to make it out alive. Of course, he wouldn’t go down without a fight, so he got on all of his fours and charged forward.
‘Come on, legs, don't fail me now!’ Gary screamed internally. ‘Let's move like you used to, move like you mean it!’
He was fast, even after losing control of over half his body, and against an opponent like this one. It wasn't enough, instead of using his claws Gary threw out a fist.
The supervisor didn't even fly away this time, he merely moved to the side, retaliating by punching the Werewolf right in his ribs and injecting the stinger into his body yet again.
[-16 HP]
[60/100 HP]
‘This guy is really hard… if only I hadn’t been stabbed in the first place by his partner. Maybe I would have had a chance then. I know I would have already been dead if it was the old me… but…’
Gary threw out a fist again, it was still fast and had a lot of power, but just like before the supervisor was able to follow his current speed.
