Although Gary was already Level 4, he had only ever assigned one of the three stat points he had received from his Level Ups. He had considered what stat he might use them for, but had decided that it might make more sense to increase them via his gym trying until he hit some kind of wall.
However, seeing Gil attack the old man who could hardly defend himself, something snapped in Gary's head. It was similar to what had happened when Steven had 'threatened' him by telling him he would go out with Amy. The high schooler imagined Tom lying on the ground, getting bullied by Gil.
Unable to wait for his 'perfect opportunity' the high schooler dived right in, running past the other members, while placing his stat points into Strength. The broom snapped after connecting with Gil's face and Gary still held one half of it in his hand, his head slightly facing down so the others wouldn't be able to see his face clearly.
“What the hell? I thought the new guy had some strength, but it turns out his muscles are all hot air. Oi, aren't you embarrassed getting taken out by such a scrawny kid? ” One of the grey colour gang members turned around to make fun of Gil, not having grasped the seriousness of the situation yet.
However, the same could not be said about their leader. Unlike the other three, he had watched Gil fight, so he had seen his strength. His body didn't just look the part, and there weren't many that could make someone fall easily like that. What's more, that 'scrawny kid' had managed to make the broom snap with one attack.
“What are you guys doing? He might just be the new kid, but since when do we allow anyone to just hurt one of our members? Stop gawking and bring him in!” The leader shouted.
Seeing the other three charge in, Gary was thankful for one thing. None of them seemed to be using weapons. One of the traits of the grey colour group was that they relied on brute strength.
Still, Gary went to the injured Gil and lifted him by the scruff of his uniform.
“Don't think this is over, I'm not done with you yet.”
Blood was dripping from the rugby player's mouth, and he was possibly in a worse state than Steven, but Gary had no sympathy for him, not after what he had seen him do. Making use of Charging Heart's duration he lifted Gil above his head with both hands.
Even with an effective total of 15 points of Strength the weight seemed to be a bit much for Gary but his frustration allowed him to power through. He managed to throw his schoolmate towards the grey colour gang members, crashing into two of them.
Once upon a time they used to be self-defense weapons, yet under the 'No Lethal Weapons Act' they were still considered taboo. There was only one group who still used them despite this, the Altered Hunters.
