Since when have I known him, it's probably not that long. Not even for a year.

Oh, yeah... I remember it now.

In the blue school life that I'm going through, the day should be like any other day. But there suddenly was a transfer student back when I was still at Ochyra University. My class is filled with Awakened, it's a special class so having him join us despite not being Awakened makes many of the students skeptical and some are even angry.

Not that I blame them though, we trained very hard to get into this class.

But many of them fail to understand that it goes the same way for him, there is no air of sluggishness in his presence. The way he move his body, shifting his eyes, and even the words that came out of his mouth.

Everything is sharp and concise, many would say this to be an air of absolute discipline.

One that only military people have.

Without a doubt, this transferred student has gone through more things than any of us had.

Although that was what I noticed at first, my attention was pulled to the dark red aura blazing around his body that is even stronger than anything I have ever seen. You see, I was birthed with a gift on top of being an Awakened.

I can see people's emotions, that's the gift I was born with.

Sadness, Anger, Greed, Hatred, I can see them all, nobody can hide it from me.

My father has the same kind of dark red aura as him. I know how obsessed my father is with avenging my mother's death, but his dark red aura is even stronger than my father's. But contrary to my father, there are no loopholes in his demeanor.

Not even a glimpse of his hatred can be viewed from the outside, it scares me.

But the other side of me is curious about him, what has he experienced to get to this state? How can he develop such hatred? More importantly, how can he live with that kind of hatred burning inside of him?

Something that even I thought was impossible for a person to bore such hatred.

Unconsciously, I develop the need to get close to him despite my mind telling me no. Not long after that, I learned that he turns out to be a Werewolf. Yes, a Werewolf and he also turned me into a Werewolf. It surprised me at first but I know we have the same goals.

Even turning into a Werewolf for the sake of power, I don't mind doing that.

But then some of his choices trouble me, he killed people. But I know he doesn't want to. It's clear in his feral eyes that he doesn't want to do that, he was just forced to kill them through their actions that are going to danger his future.

It's clear that he doesn't want to die, not until he has finished his business with the Supernaturals.

Although I was reluctant at first, things started to get together and I realized that he has the capability of turning the tide of the war. In such a short amount of time, he becomes the strongest person around and I stick close to him knowing that he's my lucky charm.

If I stay close to a strong person, then I will be strong too. At least that is what I thought.

Through the time I spent with him, I learned that he was an absolutely ruthless individual with the sole purpose of eradicating all Supernaturals. We developed a bond that can only be developed through years of being together with a person.

Even though we've been together for not that long, our bond has become unbreakable.

Why? Because I've been in life-or-death situations with him countless times.

Sometimes, the line between becoming stronger and wanting to be near him blurred. But that doesn't change anything so I kept being with him, traveling with him, and killing enemies including other hostile people that wanted him dead.

Having envied by many is a natural thing, people don't want to get walked over. It's natural.

But through time his achievement has surpassed anything I ever expected from him, helping cities from Supernatural, intercepting Supernatural's scheme, and uniting humanity. He breaks his back for the sake of helping humanity.

I've always been against killing other humans, and he knows that clearly.

Supernaturals are our goal and it's best to avoid killing humans, especially if our own race is blurred like this. But as his power and influence grew, I can't help but started to wonder whether what I'm thinking is wrong.

Despite we're actively trying to avoid killing, people kept messing with us.

Even I started to think again regarding the prohibition of killing humans despite them starting the problem first, but deep down I still believed that we shouldn't cross that line to retain our humanity.

But it's getting ridiculous.

How many times should he prove his side for humanity? Is it not clear enough?

Everything should be very clear already, he's on humanity's side! Just forget about his blurred race, he has done more than any individual Awakened. But why are they still doubting him? Why are they trying to kill him? Why?!

Envy? Greed? Hatred? Shouldn't all emotions be thrown away if it involves the sake of many?

Remembering everything that he has ever done to fortify humanity as the victor of the war, I'm starting to feel breathless and my heart paced madly. I don't care about the pain all over my body, now my mind has completely changed.

I now strongly believed that no matter what he was going to do, it was not going to be enough.

Humans are a bottomless pit, nothing is going to be enough.

Nothing can be done to convince these damned humans, we're always going to be alone in this world. An outcast of humanity and Supernaturals, accepted by no one except for ourselves.

'He's right, we don't belong here...'

I lifted my eyes to see the embodiment of human hypocrisy, the person that tries to kill him, kill the person that I love with all my heart. Rex Silverstar. For the first time, I don't feel any sort of restraints or guilt for what was about to happen to this person.

Even the urge to tell Rex to kill them all is growing inside of me.

These ungrateful people don't deserve his help, not even the tiniest bit. I will not allow it.

Matter of fact, I find joy in thinking about what this person is going to go through.

Just like an impulse of excitement, the joy I was feeling made me laugh loudly craving for the insight of this person shredded to pieces. It doesn't need to come instantly, but I will definitely await for that day to come.

"You're finished!! Your days are counted! Blame yourself for what's about to come!!"

Upon hearing the threat coming from Adhara's mouth, the figure felt an impending crisis knowing full well the power behind the name, Rex Silverstar. Even his backer said that Rex is definitely stronger in a one-on-one fight.

Not only that, but the figure has studied Rex's cases deeply.

Everything that he has ever done and recorded by the UWO, the figure has studied intently. With that, he has seen the aftermath left by Rex's claws that are imprinted deeply into his mind. What he did to those who crossed him was very gore and brutal.

Knowing that Rex is still alive right now, that is the state he will end up in if he didn't run away.

The figure hurriedly touch the earpiece in his ear before he said, "R-Rex is still alive! He's not dead, that was just an illusion. We wasted the white arrow, it's a complete disaster! We need to rethink back our plans!"

"..."

"I f-fought with Adhara a-and unintendedly used my powers... I-I'm sorry, I don't know if Rex is not dead. I'll quickly get back first, I don't want to stay here any longer"

But just as he said that the figure saw Adhara's eyes light up.

Feeling something is wrong, the figure suddenly got hit on the right side of his face.

Unlike the hit that he received from Adhara that only managed to hurt his face and forcefully turned his face to the other side, this hit has an enormous force. It was definitely not Adhara, and when he looks back he was right.

It was not Adhara that hits him, but another person instead.

Although human is the right word for describing this person that has just arrived, the bearing this person brought is anything but human. A body that is filled with battle scars and glowing yellow eyes, this person is weird just like Adhara and the others.

One thing is for sure though, this person is very strong.

Looking at the person that has just arrived and sent the figure crashing to the side coughing out blood, Adhara widens her eyes as she instantly recognizes this person. It was none other than Flunra.

"F-Flunra!"

Since he was sent to help the others fight the Shapeshifter, Flunra went straight here.

With the link that connected all of them and a couple of runes that helps him in his journey here, Flunra managed to reach this place very quickly despite literally being in the opposite direction. Finding the others is easy for him.

Hearing his name being called, Flunra glances to the side and saw Adhara's state.

She has reverted back to her human form because of the injuries she suffered.

Even though he doesn't know Adhara very much aside from fighting her a couple of times, Flunra knows that she's someone that Rex cared about and even perhaps more important than the Royal Luna.

Before Flunra can say anything, two figures approached them from afar.

"Adhara!"

Evelyn and Gistella that also covered in injuries from fighting the wounded Syn approach her from the side, they both showed concerned expressions upon seeing the state Adhara is in. Many burnt marks can be seen all over her body.

If it was a human that suffered her injury, even if they survived they will die from dehydration.

The figure's pure light beam burns anything that it touches.

Alongside Evelyn and Gistella were Liliya and the green team, they realized the fight between Evelyn and Gistella against Syn and decided to help them. Since they are gathered here, it seems Syn has already been taken down.

But Adhara's eyes saw Flunra's hand that is holding an object.

'It's Syn...'

Upon arriving at this place Flunra saw the fight against the Shapeshifter and decided to quickly helps them. Syn has already been weakened from the wound it suffered, so it becomes lightweight for Flunra to land an ambush attack and rip Syn's head off and killing him.

Even Liliya and the green team were surprised, they didn't expect help from such a strong person.

With Syn out of the way, they went to the place where the surrounding mana spiked. It was the fight Adhara had with the figure that slowly gets up and recovered from Flunra's attack.

"I've once done something similar like you...", Flunra suddenly said.

The figure raised his gaze with a frown, he studied Flunra and finds that he has never seen this person before. Flunra then continued, "I also tried to take him down too, but I failed. But we have some distinctive differences..."

"I have something useful for him, and you don't. So now, I'll be killing you for him..."

Just after he said that Flunra vanished from his spot under the figure's surprised eyes. In the next second, a mounting force planted him deeper into the ground and even forces a mouthful of blood blurted out of him, "HUAAKHH!!"

BOOM!!

It was a devastating punch in the gut that cracks the entire ground in half.

Even though Flunra's speed is way faster than he had already anticipated, the figure finds it confusing to find that Flunra's punch connects, 'How did the punch connect?! I already used my spell in case this happened!'

Knowing that he was going to be in trouble, the figure already anticipated this by using his spell.

Anything physical shouldn't be able to touch his body, but Flunra's straight punch did. The figure looks down at Flunra's arm and saw a glowing rune on the back of his inhuman hand which should be the answer to his question.

"S-Stay away from me!!"

Bam!

Flunra got kicked in the stomach but he doesn't get pushed back at all.

Upon realizing this, the figure's lips started to quiver in fear, "I-Impossible! W-What are you...?"

"Me...? I'm just the newest member of the Silverstar Family!"

After saying that Flunra grabbed the figure in the face before throwing him into the air, he didn't stop there and stabs the figure in the stomach with his fingernails that are thicker and sharper than normal humans.

In a desperate measure, the figure's eyes glow even brighter intending to use a spell.

But Flunra has immense experience in fighting Awakened of a higher rank, he knows exactly what to do. With two of his fingers, Flunra stabbed the figure's chest which disturb the mana flow instantly.

Feeling his mana disperse and went out of his control, the figure widened his horror-stricken eyes.

'H-He can even shut down my spirit core?!'

Cracking a devilish grin, Flunra twisted his two embedded fingers.

Swoosh!

Something very surprising happened after that, even the onlookers' jaws were on the floor.

With nothing but a twist of Flunra's two fingers that are stabbing the right point of the figure's spirit core, the figure's Gladiator Form was forcefully canceled reverting him back to his original form.

The figure's form got sucked back into his spirit core reverting him back completely.

Nobody could ever do this, and Flunra did it so casually.

Adhara, Evelyn, Gistella, and even the black hands were absolutely horrified by this scene. It's like seeing the first fire ever lit up by primordial humans, this is an immense invention!

After doing that, Flunra jumped and slammed the figure on the ground.

Boom!

Feeling his entire body being broken by that slam since he's now not in his Gladiator Form and thus vulnerable to such a force, the figure gritted his bloodied teeth having his back against the corner, 'Errghh! I-I don't have any other choice!'

Knowing that he can't win against Flunra, the figure quickly dashed away desperately.

Upon seeing this Flunra immediately went after him, and in just a mere second his hand almost managed to reach the figure. But out of nowhere, Flunra's danger sense reacted immensely as the figure takes out something.

Looking at the thing on the figure's hand, Flunra's eyes widened.

'I-Is that...? Oh, no! How did he get that thing?!'
