Just when all hope seemed lost, just when Jake thought he was going to die at the hands of the werewolf, then from the corner of his eyes, he saw someone run towards the werewolf and chopped off the hands of the werewolf with ease as if a hot knife was cutting butter. Then he heard the man shout out, "Do not touch my students with your filthy hands!"
Immediately the werewolf's hand was cut off, Jake fell down and looked up to see who saved him. It turns out, it was sergeant Lee that saved him. The rest of Jake's friends finally got to Jake's position and they were as shocked as Jake after they saw sergeant Lee but they quickly got over their shock and managed to pull Jake out just in time so he won't be caught in the cross fire of the battle between sergeant Lee and the werewolf.
Sergeant Lee after seeing the students move out of the way, finally turned to face the werewolf with his eyes blazing with fury. Meanwhile the werewolf was still in shock after seeing his hand being cut off so easily. The werewolf just stood looking at its stump that earlier held his hand.
Now, the werewolf had its two hands cut off. That was when it lifted its head to look at the human who managed to cut its hand off. "You.. you managed to cut my hand so easily. How? How did you do it?"
Sergeant Lee didn't respond, he just calmly walked forward a bit then he took a fighting stance. And then sergeant Lee exploded forward with such force that the ground beneath his feet was broken. And then he swung his sword at the werewolf's neck. Quickly snapping out of its daze, the werewolf quickly ducked avoiding the hit.
Without its hands, the werewolf was limited to only dodging now. Sergeant Lee quickly repositioned himself and dashed forward towards the werewolf again. When he got to the werewolf's position, instead of his sword, sergeant Lee used his leg to throw a roundhouse kick that connected successfully with the werewolf's head causing the werewolf's head to go crashing down on the floor with such force that it made the werewolf's whole body bounce a few times before coming to a halt.
The students who were all watching sergeant Lee's show of strength, were in so much awe at what they could see.
"Are we all seeing the same thing?" Peter asked with his mouth wide open.
"Yeah, and I thought that Jack was the only one who could make the werewolf go flying like that." Cindy said.
"You guys shouldn't forget that I'm just a student and sergeant Lee is a, well a sergeant." Jack said while standing to get a better view of the fight.
Jake who was also watching the fight was quite disheartened. 'I guess I still have a long way to go before I can handle a werewolf on my own.'
Meanwhile, after bouncing a few times, the werewolf finally came to a halt and then slowly stood up with its head bleeding slightly. Then it smiled at sergeant Lee. "And here we thought that the humans have gotten weaker. We should really have attacked sooner."
Sergeant Lee still didn't reply, he just ran towards the werewolf again and when he was close enough, he used The Triple Threat technique to get behind the werewolf, he pushed off from the ground again and then swung his sword very fast and cleanly. Then sergeant Lee dropped now smoothly and walked towards the students without even looking back.
The werewolf didn't even feel anything, it just stood there stunned and then finally, it felt a shooting pain across its neck and it finally realized its done for. 'We have truly underestimated the humans. We should have attacked soon...' then the werewolf's head fell off its body and its body followed next. Lee then finally got to the students position.
"Was that the only one?"
The students for a second there, they forgot how to speak because they were so amazed by what sergeant Lee just did. The thing that they were all struggling with. That even their combined teamwork and strength couldn't do, Sergeant Lee did it with ease. Without even breaking a sweat.
Then finally Sophia snapped out of her daze. "Yes sir, it's the last one."
"Good. Let's all head back to the academy." Lee said already assisting Jake to stand up.
"Academy?" Sophia asked. "Aren't we supposed to be going to the shelter?"
"No. We are all going back to the academy."
"But what about the beast hunt?" Sophia asked again.

"Now that's an improvement from what I was before." Jake said. "Haha, it all feels funny, from someone who was the bottom of the barrel, I am now almost equal to Jack and Sophia in terms of strength."
'Too bad the XP bar keeps on increasing the more I level up.' Jake thought dejectedly. 'Anyway, let me see the new skills I got. They better be worth it.'

"Woah! Now this is so dope. To be sincere, I love this system. This is truly amazing." Jake almost laughed out loud.
'But come to think of it, the fight was really difficult. If it wasn't because of sergeant Lee, we will all be dead by now. I really need to learn that Qi and master all of my system skills soon before another attack. And I know that perfect place to master my new skills.' Jake thought with a smile on his face.
After more exploration, Jake decided to call it a day and go to sleep for their 3 days break will begin tomorrow.
