Chapter 77 - Mini-Mission

The group continue with their education after this long mission and are actually doing quite alright by the morning of the succeeding day. Golden sunlight beams and reflects off of the clean white walls of the academy. Many voices can be heard across the hall but there is still an almost peaceful atmosphere. The green grass and natural waters of the school really add to the calming and natural scenery.

Tanji, after his first lecture, takes out his phone and sees a smaller mission that they should complete.

"Hmm. Such a small mission. Whatever." He says to himself.

The time goes by and it goes by fast. He meets up with his 2 friends and they all don't even get out of uniform before leaving towards Ulfville Area.

They simply walk there from 4:00, the end of their main lectures, and find that the area seems quite rundown. There are sketchy alleys, the houses are smaller than in the other neighbourhoods and the buildings have much worse maintenance.

Tanji says "This place looks sketchy." Silvan replies "Couldn't agree with you any more."

Alden then asks "Where should we each patrol?" Tanji looks down and pulls out a map on his phone, clearly showing the area. In the top left corner you can see the dense collection of roads and buildings. Tanji circles a third of the area and says "This is mine."

Silvan says "Then this portion shall be mine." Alden circles the final portion and says "I'll take this then." They part ways and go on to patrol the areas that've they've selected.

There is very little going on and the streets are pretty much empty. No cars. Just plastic and trash flowing in the slight breeze over the orange evening sun. The roads are very much dusty and dirty too. It isn't the most pleasant place to be at let alone live. However, Tanji makes a sharp walk past a suspicious alley and he hears a small argument.

This leads him to peer over from the corner and see a small teenage child held to the neck by the claws of a larger, more intimidating teen. He seems to be quite overweight but this merely adds to his power. He stands at 5'11, near the height of Tanji but only slightly taller. His ginger hair has been put in a mohawk and his golden eyes stare down this kid. "You're lucky I haven't slashed your neck by now!" He says in anger.

The smaller teen just says "Please. I'm just a human trying to get by." From this comment, the rest of the larger people there start laughing at his weakness. The werewolf then says "You think I care?! To me, you're just an easier kill and you see Ben over there? He's itching to bite your neck open and suck your blood dry!"

Tanji hears these vulgar comments and spends no more time waiting.

He makes his way forward and examines the stats of the ginger werewolf.

Patrick Zeothus

Strength: 45

Speed: 21

Defence: 40

Constitution: 19

Control: 54%

Intelligence: 3

(Average human male has stats of 3 - 6)

Species: Werewolf

Tanji chuckles from the stats then straightens up and says "Let go of him!"

Patrick turns and Ben says "Pat, who is this guy?!" He seems a little intimidated by his very defined physique. Patrick's eye twitches and he says "You think you're big huh?!"

Tanji isn't fazed in the slightest and kinda just waits there, listening to him bark. "I'll slash you're neck into pieces!!"

Tanji just smirks and comments in his head "Let's try out this panda guy." He activates his qi and uses his new Qi Beast. His muscles get considerably larger and fill out his clothes until there are very little creases. He grows to 6'3 and his trousers do look considerably short. You can just see his furry shins exposed at the bottom of his trousers and it gives him a very odd look. His irises go a dark black from yellow to make his stares look just that much deeper and darker.

His arms grow a thick black fur and so do his legs. His feet also grow significantly and his hands do too. The main thing that does grow though, is his chest. He has a much bigger chest that truly fills out even his blazer. He looks down at a smaller Patrick and says "Do you still want to irritate me?!" The human makes a run for it and Pat tries to grab him. Tanji almost blurs in front of him and lets him go.

Patrick strikes in fury but Tanji literally doesn't move from the hit. He throws his own punch and leaves a massive red bruise on the side of his head before he slams into the ground below.

Ben snarls at him and tries to attack him with his swift attacks but none seem to land. Even with this large and burly physique, his speed far outclasses these people.

He knocks him out with a simple gut punch then points to the group with his clawed and furred fingers. "Leave.." They all make a run for it and he shifts back into his normal form. "Wow! That Power Panda is no joke. I'm so happy I chose you!"

There isn't much fun for Tanji for the rest of the day and the patrol goes as expected. Nothing really happens and they do their job. 8pm comes along and the stars fill the night sky. The lights of people's houses also light up the streets alongside the white stars.

They all meet up at 8 and Tanji says "Did anything happen for you guys?"

Silvan shakes his head and says "Sadly, no." Alden says the same. Tanji then says goodbye to his friends and goes on to cultivate in his Bludby Apartment.
