Chapter 612 A Star in the Making
The cameraman was carefully showing the damage to the equipment, how the metal rail had snapped and the chain linked to the bag had snapped as well. Then on top of that, there was the wall, which had been smashed and the bag itself, the outside of it was ripped and the insides were pouring out.
If an Altered was to do the same thing to a normal heavy bag, or normal equipment, then it wouldn't be so much of a surprise, but this was the AFA. The equipment had been made with those who would be tested on it kept in mind.
It was strong, reliable stuff, and for Eddy who had been the personal teacher for the debut students for a while now, he had never seen anything like this before.
‘His strength is off the charts, I’m sure he wasn’t this strong before. Did he manage to improve this much, in such a short amount of time? If the Gary now had gone as wild as he did back then, I don’t think even I would have been able to stop him. I doubt if I was to go head to head in a battle with him that I would win.
‘Is it possible, does Gary now have the ability, to be in the top fifty of the AFC?’
Eddy was already imagining it, depending on how many wins an Altered had in the AFC in a row, and how convincingly they won their matches, they would be put with higher level opponents quicker.
Not everyone who was in the AFC was an automatic superstar, and it was really only those that had the potential to reach the top fifty or those in the top 50. Just as Gary had managed to enter the AFA and cause a storm, Eddy was imagining the same thing happening in the AFC as well.
However, he had no idea that Gary had no interest in those things at all.
“I’m really sorry, I didn’t expect that to happen.” Gary apologised with his hand behind the back of his head, embarrassed. “That isn’t something I'm going to have to pay for right? You guys have insurance for things like this...right?”
Out of all the things to worry about, of course, Gary would be worrying about money and cost, while he had unknowingly caused a stir.
“Everyone, did you see that!” Clem said, pumping her fist toward the camera. “This is the difference between a debut student and the rest. The AFA as of late have been producing extremely skilled fighters and it looks like this might be one of the most skilled yet.”
Right after Clem said those words. Elanor went to the camera man, telling him to cut the recording there. Their air time had just about to come to an end, and ending it there, she knew that the viewers would want more.
“They ended the program there! What about the Green Haired kid? When is his debut match? What about his Altered form? Aren’t they going to show us more?”
“That guy, he looked like a weakling but he managed to break the bag off the rails of the thing.”
“He even damaged the wall, is that normal, can every Altered do that?”
Gary really didn’t know how to answer, if they were to make a program about him, then it would also mean they would be asking a lot of questions, but being in the academy Gary had gotten used to being a good liar.
He also remembered initially that Kai wanted him to try and make his debut as big as possible. As there would be those wondering who Gary was under, and the team and group supporting him would be the Howlers.
In turn, there would be those that wished to join the Howlers, and they could make their own Altered force as those who idolised Gary could go ahead and join them.
“Doesn't that mean I’ll be out of the academy for a week, I would have to ask my teacher for permission.” Gary replied.
“He already gave me his blessing.” Elanor said, and Gary realised now what she must have been doing before. “Here is a sample contract for you, of course the details can be changed.”
Gary took a look at the contract, and the first thing that caught his eye was the amount they were willing to pay him.
“200,000 just for 7 days of work! I would be stupid not to take it!” Gary said with a smile as he shook his hand.
Since Gary didn’t run the finances, he was unaware that 200,000 was pocket change for the Howlers. If Gary needed it, they would have given it to him in a heartbeat.
Later that day, just so Kai was aware of what Gary was planning on doing, he sent him a text message with details.
“I can’t believe it.” Kai shoved his hand on his forehead. “This idiot is getting excited over 200,000 and he doesn't even realise how much he owns of the company that's paying him! Well, he already signed the contract so I guess the only way that he can break the contract is by getting permission from, well... himself.”
