Thirty minutes earlier, after the break, when the spectators were supposed to return to the arena to watch the next match of the day, so people entered the arena along with the crowd, though they didn't sit together.
Instead, they took seats separately.As one of them was about to sit, he accidentally stepped on soone.
"Hey! Watch it, will you?"The man turned around and frowned. This made the other man, the one who had been stepped on, grow angry.
"What? Why are you frowning at ? You stepped on , and now you're giving attitude?"
The man said nothing, just turned away, about to leave, when the other man grabbed his shoulder to stop him.
"Where do you think you're going? You stepped on and didn't even bother to apologize! Are you crazy?"The man turned around to look at who was holding his shoulder.
"Get your hands off ," he scowled.
"Or what?" the man said, still gripping his shoulder.
Their argunt drew the attention of a few people nearby.
"Hey, man! C'mon, apologize," soone from the crowd called out.
The man was about to snap back at him when he looked up and noticed soone from the crowd shaking his head. He cald down and turned back to the man he'd stepped on.
"I'm sorry," the man muttered as he turned to sit down
"Hey! Say it like you an it!" the other man shouted, reaching to grab him again, but soone stopped him.
"C'mon, he already apologized. Let it go," the bystander said, holding his arm in a firm grip.The man struggled to free himself but eventually gave up.
"Fine," he muttered and took his seat.
As the spectators settled back into their seats, the match between Vynn and Dan began. The two fighters went toe-to-toe, blow for blow, until, after so ti, Vynn was stabbed in the stomach. He dropped to his knees but managed to pierce Dan with a strike of his invisible Qi. Vynn was about to deliver a finishing blow when Dan blocked the strike at the last second.
Just then, in the stands, a man's nails elongated unnaturally, and he shot them at Dan's head, killing him instantly. Without hesitation, he turned and stabbed the person sitting next to him.
Panic rippled through the crowd, but before anyone could react, others began to draw weapons, slashing indiscriminately at the spectators. Chaos erupted.Helen and Berg, caught in the crowd, narrowly avoided a sword strike aid at Helen, blocked at the last second by Berg's own blade.
"What's going on?" Helen shouted. "Why are they suddenly attacking us?"
The answer ca with a terrifying transformation. Those attackers who had not yet revealed their true forms began to change. Fur sprouted from their bodies, bones cracked and shifted, and soon werewolves stood where ordinary people once sat.
By now, Vynn had shouted warnings to his friends. His voice cut through the noise of the battlefield. His friends, still stunned, quickly snapped out of their daze.In the arena, General Paul and Wilfred were about to leap into the stands to aid the crowd, but two werewolves blocked their path, keeping them occupied.
Jack, wasting no ti, dashed toward Vynn. In an instant, he was by his friend's side, lifting him onto his shoulder. They hurried back toward their friends, but a werewolf leaped down from the stands, aiming for Jack.
An arrow suddenly pierced the werewolf's leg, halting its advance. Ruby from the third year stepped forward with her bow, followed by Emily, who drew her sword.
"Go! Get him to the clinic. We'll hold this beast down, but we won't last long alone," Ruby shouted.
"You won't have to," Sophia said, stepping forward with Peter.
Seeing Jack move to save Vynn had snapped them out of their frozen state. They saw the werewolves advancing but were intercepted by Emily and Ruby.The werewolf they faced was a runt, weaker than the more dangerous ones that had attacked them during the beast hunt, but still dangerous.
Jack and Vynn reached the entrance, but a werewolf blocked their way but then, Vynn stood still freeing himself from Jack's shoulders.
"Don't worry, I can help," Vynn said, gripping his spear tightly. "I can hold on for a little longer."
One of the werewolf threw a punch towards Vynn who managed to duck slightly avoiding the punch then Jack ca down with a slash of his sword on the werewolf's hand and it was cleanly sliced off.
The werewolf pulled its stump for a hand back in surprise but he couldn't be surprised for long because Vynn was already upon him with a stab to its head, the werewolf leaned backwards avoiding it.
But it couldn't avoid Jack's sword strike from behind that managed to cut deep into its hide therefore drawing blood. The werewolf quickly turned around to deal with Jack by kicking him hard sending him flying with full force.
Vynn seeing this, quickly made a stab towards the werewolf's head again but the werewolf turned around to stop the spear strike heading towards its head by holding onto the tip of the spear.
Vynn was struggling to pull the spear from the werewolf's grip that was when a sword strike cut the werewolf's hand that was holding onto the spear cleanly.
Looking up, Vynn could see who had saved him and it was Alex, the rank 1 among the third years, the strongest student in the academy.
"Thank you." Vynn said as he was panting from the exhaustion with his hands on his knees.
Alex looked at Vynn up and down. "You are still injured and your wounds have reopened. You need dical help ASAP."
"Don't worry," Vynn said propping himself up with his spear. "I will be fine."
The werewolf was now visibly furious as it dashed towards Alex and Vynn but Alex was quick to act.
With a slash from above, the werewolf jumped back avoiding it but it couldn't avoid the spear stab coming from Vynn towards its rib.
The spear managed to lunge in deep as Vynn twisted it then he activated the spear's active skill.
"Activate Fire surge!" Vynn called out and imdiately, his spear lit up inside of the werewolf and then the werewolf was feeling hot from inside. The werewolf tried to move back to get the spear off its insides since it doesn't have any hands.
Alex seeing this, quickly moved behind the werewolf by using 'The Triple Threat' technique and then he kicked the werewolf from behind towards the spear and the spear was lunged In deep allowing the active skill to do its work therefore burning the werewolf from the inside out.
Then Alex jumped up and slashed at the werewolf's neck, slicing the werewolf's head clean off. When the werewolf dropped down, so did Vynn because the fight took a lot out of him and his wounds was now reopened again.
'I just hope the others are okay.' Vynn thought.
