Chapter 3 - The Wolf

There is a reason why Ayden takes the threat seriously. Zordyz is part-werewolf after all. His threat was no joke at all.

"No one has ever seen him change but he's definitely a wolf alright. He's built just like one." a classmate said.

Zordyz is tall and lean but muscular at all the right places. Most people won't mistake his identity just from his eyes. He naturally exudes a dangerous aura, even more so when he's in a foul mood. It was enough to make people freeze or run.

He used it to his advantage to keep people away since he disliked unnecessary talks. However, the girls liked those wild traits of his. It puts him in a dilemma as to why they fawned over him.

"No, he's a tame puppy. He won't bite. I know from his smell." a girl walked in and put her arm over Zordyz's shoulder.

"Sybil, don't assume anything if you don't know what you're talking about." he glared at her and shrugged off her arm.

"Oh, scary but I like it."

Sybil Raycove is also a werewolf, but she's a purebred. She is considered a royalty due to the rareness of purebred werewolves in their society.

She is taller than the rest of the class's girls. At 178cm, she is the closest to Zordyz's height. Her figure was lean and sleek with a touch of elegance. Her wavy burnished gold hair adds to her royalty.

Although they were classmates since junior high, Zordyz was never fond of her. Being around her makes him uncomfortable. The way she talked about smells and smelling him creeps him out.

Zordyz is a 17th generation werewolf. Only his first ancestors were purebred werewolves. After the second generation, his ancestors married various races and their werewolf blood has since thinned out.

He inherited most of the physical traits of a werewolf; height, strength and muscle. His sense of smell and sight didn't even come close to a purebred. His canine teeth were also only slightly sharper than others.

Based on what his father had told him; after the seventh generation, their family members had stopped having awakenings. He was relieved to know that he will never awaken. That also meant that he won't be able to hurt anyone dear to him.

Awakenings were especially dangerous for werewolves as they usually lose control over their emotions and reasoning. It has to be kept in check and they need to learn how to control it over time. It was not a fun process but in return, it grants the werewolves enormous powers.

Zordyz knew full well of his own capabilities. It's something he kept to himself since birth.

Sybil was not at the age of awakening yet, so she has little to worry about. Her friends don't have to be wary of her, not yet.

"We looked good together, don't you think?" Sybil teased him.

Her eyes waiting for his response expectantly. She did fancy him over other boys. Zordyz's charm was irresistible to the girls and that includes Sybil.

She tried to flirt with him a few times but it never seemed to work. Zordyz was not interested in any of the girls, he rejected every single one of them. His silent treatment was enough to indicate that he declined their confession and it left them in tears.

He looked in Yuenelia's direction, realising she was not concerned at all. She was used to girls trying to flirt with him anyway. Both of them were always swarmed by admirers confessing to them.

The people in their class were mostly friends from junior high, so they usually leave Yuenelia alone as they have tried their luck and failed to impress her. Moreover, they were afraid of angering her 'guardian wolf', Zordyz too.

"No, it doesn't, end of the story. Will you excuse me, I need to get to my seat." Zordyz said as he walked passed Sybil to his seat which is situated at the last row next to the window.

Yuenelia was at the front most seat. Their interaction during normal lessons was minimal due to how far apart their seats were. Zordyz spends most of his time looking out the window.

For them, morning classes were only basics. Their real lesson starts after their afternoon break where students attend their respective courses.

Of the 31 students in the class, only five of them took the Magic Cure in Medicine course. In fact, not many students took the course as it requires a lot of effort and plenty of research papers to be qualified for it.

The students can't just start learning about Magic Cure as it is. They were required to study normal medicine which was already difficult on its own. They won't be able to survive if they are not passionate enough.

Yuenelia was a model student, she aced the test with little to no effort. The same goes to Zordyz, he might not have inherited the power of werewolves from his father but he did fully inherit his mother's intellect who is a purebred witch.
