Shingi believed that both students had a fair advantage, because he had displayed some of his Altered form last time, even though they weren’t meant to, and he had seen Gary’s wolf-like form.
The truth was though, Gary couldn't even remember what this person could do, and he was just going to go with the flow and react. If he showed his absolute strength, he was sure that these guys wouldn't bother him again.
“Since you were so nice to give me a tip, let me give you one as well.” Shingi said. “When the fight starts, you should use your Altered form straight away. Otherwise you won't be able to survive the first attack.”
Gary smiled at this comment as he looked at his stats.

‘The system didn’t give me a quest. I'm sorry, I know you might be skilled, but according to my system you're not enough to warrant giving me exp.’ Gary thought.
“If the fighting gets too dangerous, I will have to step in like last time.” Eddy declared.
Wu stood up, and moved closer to the cage. Everything he was hearing about the teacher having to get involved, just made him imagine a crazy situation that had to have occured the last time Gary fought.
The thing was, whatever Wu was thinking, it was not crazy enough compared to what had actually occurred.
“Match Start!” Eddy shouted.
Gary felt like he could win the fight without transforming, but he didn't want to give everything away, so to make it look like he was trying his best, Gary had transformed his arms, as brown fur started to grow on his legs, and part of his face as well.
Right now, essentially his whole body had been transformed, but not quite to the point where he was a full werewolf, just around 60 to 70 percent.

As for Shingi, he immediately went to strike out, he threw both of his arms forward, and they stretched across the entire arena going to the other side. It was extremely fast, but it ended up hitting nothing but the cage.
“Where did he go?” Shingi thought.
“Brace yourself.” A voice from underneath was heard, as Gary had his fist tensed and threw it right into his stomach. The contact was tough and loud, lifting Shingi’s body up into the air. Quite a bit of liquid had come out of Shingi’s mouth, but in truth he wanted to throw up.
Eddy, who was standing on the side, had seen the whole thing.
‘I knew Gary was skillful when he kept dodging all of Ryan’s attacks, but he had moved the instant Shingi started his attack, and that speed and strength is crazy. Maybe I should stop the fight here, Shingi is clearly outmatched.’
While in the air though, Shingi gritted his teeth and was determined. There was a reason why he was one of the top students soon about to debut. His arms retracted back to him fast, and he stretched them out again, grabbing both of Gary’s shoulders.
Honestly Gary thought the fight was going to be over with that, and he was interested to see what Shingi would try to pull next.
The top of Shingi's head had turned a strange silver, as if his skin had hardened into a type of metal, then pulling forward and leaning his head back it stretched out slightly. He was going for a headbutt.
Seeing this Gary smiled.
‘I know you wanted me to go all out, but I can't do that. I have skills that would be deadly and if I turned into a full Werewolf you might find out that I'm not really an Altered, but there is something I can show you. That my endurance is top notch!’
As Shingi swung his head, Gary did at the same time and they both bashed into each other. Gary's head was meant to fling back but instead it stayed there. With his hands Gary grabbed both of Shingi’s.
“You are better than I thought… but you should rest now.” After saying those words, Shingi’s whole body weakened, and he collapsed on the ground, passing out there and then.
Gary's forehead was a little sore. It was safe to say that Wu watching was left a little confused as to why Shingi was on the floor, when Gary had only done one attack, unless one counted the headbutt.
Eddy, walking over to Shingi on the ground, smiled at him.
“You did well. You were already out of the fight after that first hit, but you decided to stay in there a little longer and show him everything you had instead, didn’t you?”
Gary noticed it as well, the look in Shingi’s eyes halfway while he was performing the headbutt, they were already gone. Similar to that of a person that had passed out. Gary was surprised he had held on after the first punch he was aiming to finish the fight quickly so he didn't have to show more and he had done it.
Showing that he had more than what he had shown with the fight against Ryan, without having to show everything, he actually had.
A few moments later and Shingi came to, and seeing Gary, immediately he went to the canvas and placed his head on the ground.
“Thank you so much for having a match with me. It's as I thought. You really are something special, but there is one thing I'm happy about.”
Shingi thought back to the punch he received and the damage to the bag he had seen. He was happy that he was able to take Gary’s punch and survive.
“Hey, please we are all students here, learning. I… just have gone through a lot in my life.” Gary said as he gave out his hand to Shingi and lifted him off the floor both smiling at each other.
“Well, now that this is out of the way, I have a big question that I need to ask.” Eddy grinned. “I think you're more than ready to join the AFC. Why don’t you join the Debut students and practise with them?”
