Gary still had three days of exclusion left, which meant that today was another day that he was technically free to do as he wished until practice time, while everyones else his age would be stuck in school. Most kids would have enjoyed this time off, yet he couldn't.
For one, Gary didn't want to worry his mother, so he had to keep up the ruse that everything was fine by leaving for school. However, even if that hadn't been the case, the high schooler had far too much on his agenda to be sitting around watching TV.
There was still so much for him to figure out about the Werewolf System. Barry's Mark might be gone, but there was still the one he had left on Gil just two days ago. Judging by the direction of both remaining Marks, it appeared as if he and Tom had already headed to school today.
Then there was still the rampant Omega wolf on the loose, but with the police looking for him, he would have a hard time finding him. After yesterday's run-in with the police going after Billy was even riskier. He had been stabbed by the deceased bully so his blood had been left all over the scene. If they hadn't been looking for him before, they would surely do so now that Barry had died.
The high schooler was lucky that he had no criminal record, so they didn't have his DNA on file. However, if he ever did get taken in as a suspect, it would be easy enough to match up his DNA with the other two events.
If he became a criminal he could help no one. The better option was to look out for Innu and just wait for Billy. Not really knowing much about him though all he could do was hope he texted him if he got in trouble.
For the first time this week Gary was making his way to the gym. The last two days he had been unable to go there, Monday he had encountered the Altered Hunter and yesterday he had been stabbed. He was also eager to test how his extra Strength translated in terms of power.
Gary noticed the questioning looks he received from the other gym goers. They seemed to wonder why a high schooler was there this early in the morning. Some thought he was skipping school, others gave him the benefit of the doubt and assumed his school started late, yet in the end nobody came over to bother him. All of them seemed to agree that it was better for Gary to be here than to roam the streets.
The high schooler proceeded to follow the system's instructions while reminding himself what he had learned today. 'I know now that I can gain additional stat points for successfully hunting a Mark even when it isn't the full moon. I only got a single point, but I would have gotten more if I had eaten him as well…'
'I have no idea whether Billy also has a system or not, but if he gets stronger the same way I do, then he must have gotten a lot stronger after eating his victims. There's a good chance that he'll be as strong if not more so than me under Charging Heart. I have to find a way to close that gap by playing with my system!'
