12 CH12: Werewolf

A day after the incident with my brother, I was bored in class. Tsukune's desk was empty, and all the students acted like nothing strange had happened. Most didn't recall Tsukune existing at all. Except Kurumu didn't look so hot, she was always looking around for someone who wasn't there anymore. The girl looked at me at times and appeared confused. My dear little bro couldn't bring her, or Rias decided she wasn't allowed to come. Either way, she didn't remember him, but some part of her missed him. Maybe that's why she gave me strange looks.

Ms. Ririko slammed a ruler down on my desk. "You seem distracted. Can you solve the problem on the board?" I walked up to the board and took slow steps to get a handle on the problem before barely solving it. Algebra was just following direction for the most part, and it wasn't very hard, but I wasn't paying it much attention. I was distracted.

There was 8 Gotcha burning a hole in my pocket, and I was getting ready to use them. Then the system sent me a message.

System Patch Note: 10 Gotcha can be used to add 2 to all rarity rolls. NAT 20s receive duplicate items, 3x improving skills, and Obedient summons.

I was salivating at the prospect of getting a NAT 20 after I got 2 more Gotcha dice. Finally, class let out for the day, and it was time to go to clubs. Moka grabbed my hand, and Kururmu followed us to the club room.

"I didn't know you signed up for this club," Moka said as a conversation starter.

"Yea, I guess I took too long to find a club that fit me. Hey Arakan, that's your name; this is our first time meeting each other." Kururmu said.

Moka opened her mouth, and I covered it before whispering in her ear. "Devils," I said, and she licked my hand.

"Ew,"

"Don't cover my mouth, then it's mean," Moka said.

Ms. Nekonome walked in with a man wearing a green headband. "I would like to introduce you to our club president Gin Morioka." I zoned out as I pulled up my Gotcha screen until Gin handed Moka a bouquet of roses.

Moka took a step back. "That's sweet of you, but they'll die if I touch them," Moka said and touched the bouquet.

The red roses immediately wilted and blackened. I blinked before recalling Moka's recent gains. Even in her sealed form, she practically erupted with youki. She wasn't as strong as her unsealed form, but she could do more damage sealed.

"Oh, I'm sorry dear Moka next time, I'll find you flowers that won't wilt."

"Well, I see you are all getting along. I'll go grade papers." Ms. Nekonome said.

Gin took out a box the second she left and handed it to the girls. "Why don't you two put up the banners for me." Gin said. Moka and Kurumu picked up the banners, ready to attach them to the wall. "Higher," Gin said as their skirts rode up, exposing their soft white underwear. There was little left to the imagination at this range except for the inner lips of Moka's tight slit. I turned and punched.

Gin ducked out of the way with blinding speed. "Oh no, Arakan is peeping."

Moka turned as I went for another strike. This time when Gin moved, I followed it a little better. He was quicker than inner Moka had been when we first met. I adjusted for a speedy opponent and flared my aura. Gin looked shocked when my knee found his chest. He fell back a few steps, and I made a mental note to increase my next attack's strength. Gin's body was tougher than Saizou had been by about three times. With that estimate, I prepared to deliver an attack with the appropriate force next time.

"That's what I would expect from someone able to get Moka's attention. But I exposed your true self; you're just a pervert, and now your mad that you've been caught. So don't worry, Moka, I'll protect you from this pervert."

"I see why no one wanted to sign up for this club. Why would I want to peep when I can just ask Moka when we're in private?"

"Did you like what you saw?" Kurumu asked.

"Sorry I didn't look, but I'm always willing to listen if you need someone to talk to."

Moka looked worriedly at Kurumu and then back at me. She put on a hand on the succubus' shoulder. "Why don't you hang out with us from now on. We could use the company." Moka said.

Inner Moka immediately protested. "No, Arakan is our lover, and I won't share him with another." Inner Moka said.

"Let's see how it goes; maybe you'll think differently with time." Outer Moka said.

Gin didn't let it go. "Hey, this guy is a pervert; don't reward him for it."

Moka gave the werewolf an annoyed look. Then gave me a look that I could only translate as get on with it.

Quest: Crush The Werewolf

Reward: 2 Gotcha

Failure: An irritated Moka

Aura shrouded my body for a split second before I moved in and punched the Gin in the gut. His face transformed into a muzzle; he lowered his head and lunged for a bite. Gin's legs transformed with a sickening twist, and he was noticeably faster. I punched him hard in the nose and dodged a slash at my gut that bisected my uniform.

My flash of aura ended, and the werewolf moved to slash bloody ribbons out of my exposed back. Pain lanced through my body as my aura flashed again in time to deliver an elbow to the underside of the werewolf's jaw. I ducked and grabbed his leg before throwing him off balance. Then I hit the werewolf again with an uppercut.

"You should give up. I can keep knocking you on your furry ass all day." I said.

Gin pulled something red from his pocket and swallowed it down. Power immediately erupted from within the werewolf.

"We'll see, after I take you out; I'm going for Kuyo." Gin said.

The damn peeper was much stronger than he had been moments ago. Gin's youki continued to rise, and I felt different strands of youki flowing through its body. Gin felt like someone stuffed a bunch of other monsters into him. The power was coming from where his stomach should be and slowly moving through his body.

Gin's fur bristled, turning black and lengthening. Large black wolfish ears stood high on his head, and his eyes turned red. I drew my zanpakuto and blocked a set of acid-dripping claws before they could skewer me. Muscle grew thicker across his body, and his youkai continued to increase. A third eye opened on his forehead, and my mind went blank the second I glanced at it.

"What do you think now? Can you still fight me all day?" Gin asked.

"Interesting transformation, but I've already figured you out. Your power up wasn't enough." I said.

Qi entered my blade as I used an air slash. Blood erupted across the werewolf's chest before the wound closed in front of me. I moved in close and stabbed through the monster's chest in a flash of aura. I felt my blade pierce Gin's heart, but the monster only raised its claws. I punched it full force with the intent to kill the beast. It slid from my sword but didn't die.

I sheathed my sword and raised my fists before getting into a fighting stance. While a sword was good, I was better with my own hands. Air slash didn't have the cutting power to deal with Gin permanently because of its low rank. So my only real option was to beat it until it died or gave up.

The werewolf howled, fully transformed, and charged me. It was fast and stronger than before but not by much. I moved around Gin in a circle dodging his claws and delivering powerful attacks at the right time. Each of my blows ruptured his organs and shattered bone, but he healed quickly. The source of power in his body was to blame. While it continued to pour youki into his system, winning wasn't possible.

After assessing Gin's new strength and speed, I moved in and punched the source of Gin's increased power. Something shattered the power released from Gin all at once. I took a step back as acid poured out of his claws and bulges grew all over his body. He screamed as a laser fired from his third eye, and something ripped inside him.

The laser tore through the classroom, shattering windows and caving in a wall. I watched the eye close before vanishing. Gin's own youki rejected the foreign substance and pushed it out of him. Gin opened his mouth, and the foreign elements tainted his own youki poured out of him.

Gin turned his attention to Moka and began to crawl. "Why don't girls like you want me? I'm such a nice guy." Gin said.

I hadn't known he was a werewolf before the fight, but his actions made a lot of sense in hindsight. They were apparently all about lust. Honestly, I'm glad he wasn't wearing bondage gear. A few questions came to mind at seeing him. If he was a werewolf, why didn't he just go to furry conventions and yiff? Then again, those were mostly gay, so he might not swing that way. Also exposing his monster form might be asking for trouble.

The substance on the ground had the power of multiple monsters, including Gin. It quickly hardened into a crystal-like substance.

"That looks like the stuff the guy in the trench coat offered us. We should tell a teacher, if someone is giving out dangerous substances, they should deal with it." Moka said.

"We can, but I have a suspicion the headmaster will just have me take care of it. But we better tell him so we can get rewarded for it later. We can also write about it in the paper. Dangerous narcotics on campus as a headline should sell a lot of papers." I said.

"I can assume whoever is behind this has either a better version of this stuff or is waiting to complete it. Either way, it will be fun to train and take them down like a boss to test a player's skill level. In some games, bosses test if a player is upgrading their equipment or using their items correctly." I said.

I tossed the eyes in my inventory along with the scrolls, discs, and house key. Then, from my inventory, I pulled free the Sexcraft skill disc. The second I activated the skill appeared, and a lewd power swept through me.

Complete Hogyoku – A wish-granting device capable of breaking the limits of its wielder.

I held two of the top-tier items of the bleach verse in my hand in their completed form. There wasn't any degradation from repeated use or Urahara Kido on them. It was tempting to stuff one in my chest immediately, but I decided to wait. I had a lot more growing to do, and I wanted to see how far I could go with my own effort.
