Emily still had three days of exclusion left which meant that today was another day that she was technically free to do as she wished until practice time while everyones else his age would be stuck in school. Most kids would have enjoyed this time off yet she couldnt.
For one Emily didnt want to worry her mother so she had to keep up the ruse that everything was fine by leaving for school.
However even if that hadnt been the case the high schooler had far too much on her agenda to be sitting around watching TV.
Then there was still the rampant Undead wolf.
For the first time this week Emily was making her way to the gym.
The last two days she had been unable to go there Monday she had encountered the Hunter.
Emily noticed the questioning looks she received from the other gym goers. They seemed to wonder why a high schooler was there this early in the morning.
Some thought she was skipping school others gave her the benefit of the doubt and assumed her school started late yet in the end nobody came over to bother her. All of them seemed to agree that it was better for Emily to be here than to roam the streets.
I have no idea whether Dire fang also has a system or not but if he gets stronger the same way I do then he must have gotten a lot stronger after eating his victims.
Theres a good chance that hell be as strong if not more so than me under Rage. I have to find a way to close that gap by playing with my system!

Emily was completely broke after paying off the rent though she would do it again in a heartbeat if it meant that they wouldnt have to move away.
I just hope that winning that tag team match will pay off as well as the fight against Dire fang.
Her second Daily Quest required her to consume 2kg of meat and 1litre blood a day.
It was then that the comm in Emily's pocket started to vibrate. She grabbed the comm in her pocket. To her surprise the sender wasnt Daniel this time and even more baffling was the content of the message.
[I found him.]
*******
After receiving the text, Emily immediately asked for more information. She needed to know whether Red Sunn had actually run into or simply found Dire fang. Unfortunately, she didn't get any answers. She wasn't even left at 'read', making the high schooler start to worry.
Not knowing anything about her fellow gang member, Emily texted the only person who would be able to know anything about it, Daniel.
When she asked him where Red Sunn would be right now, the answer was so obvious that Emily was ready to facepalm herself. As if anticipating the follow-up question Emily was about to type, she received the location of Red Sunn school.
'This is it… I'm really going to face Dire fang… I thought I would be more scared meeting him, but for some reason all I feel is… excitement?' Emily thought as Rage skill had run out, and she used it once more.

The teacher didn't care that Red Sunn, like many other students of his class, weren't actually paying any attention to his math lesson, yet he had a zero tolerance policy regarding phones.
It was one of the many schools in the area that students who were sent to were deemed as 'a lost hope'.
'I did what I was asked, I sent her a text so she can't go nagging me, but he's really here, huh? Looks like Daniel is right, he is after me, but why did he seem so different?' Red Sunn wondered.
This morning, on his way to school, the high schooler had noticed a large figure by the gate for a brief second, but by the time he had turned around there had been nobody there.
The students around hadn't cared too much, but Red Sunn had found it strange since the figure hadn't been walking into or out of school, just standing there on the pavement staring ahead.
It had been too short of a timeframe, but Red Sunn could have sworn that underneath the hood had been none other than Dire fang.
'What's your game, Dire fang? After your last stunt, do you want to try to scare me by showing me that you know what school I go to? Or are you going to jump me after? Whatever you bring, I'll take you on.'
*************
The good thing was that it had practically become second nature for Emily to travel with her trusted hoodie. This time she had opted for one that was even darker in colour than her usual one.
It didn't take long for Emily to reach Red Sunn's school and her immediate opinion of it was that it looked more of a dump than her place.
'This must be one of the schools Mum kept warning us about, the one we would end up in if we didn't study.' Emily thought as she walked right in.
There wasn't even a teacher there to stop her, the only one out on the field appeared to be a janitor, yet he didn't say anything as the high schooler walked past him.
'Shit, Red Sunn must still be in class. Daniel only sent me the school address, but not what class he would be in. Seems like he doesn't know either. Well, I don't hear any noise, so that should at least mean that Dire fang still hasn't done anything outrageous so far…'
Seeing that the teachers didn't care, Emily easily entered the school without much worry. While walking past the other classrooms she could see just how out of hand the school actually was.
Eventually, she had reached her destination, the school roof. She quickly ran up to the fence on the edge looking down to try and spot anything that looked to be out of place.
"Who're you? I haven't seen you before!" A voice said from behind.
Turning around, Emily could see a smoking student. The guy looked to be slightly older than her and for some reason he was sprouting a pompadour, a hair style which was clearly out of fashion, yet he was quite well built for his age.
'What the hell is it with high schoolers these days? Has someone been handing out steroid infused candies and I was just absent that day?' Emily thought, as she continued to survey the area.
"I'm just trying to find someone. Once I do, I'll be out of your hair." Emily replied.
"Well, it's clear you're not from around here, otherwise you would have known that this is my spot!" The guy shouted, and Emily suddenly felt a strong blow to her side.
[-8 HP]
"Did that guy just hit me? What is wrong with him?!'
"This is my place, bitch!" The guy cursed at Emily, yet the she was in no mood for games. This person was not the one she needed to face.
Perhaps if Emily had been paying more attention she would have never allowed the other student to get a hit in that easily. The most surprising thing to Emily was how much it had hurt.
Endurance had always been her strongest stat and it had increased twice during her recent fights.
"I'm surprised someone like you is still standing after hitting the side like that." The boy scoffed at Emily. "I knew you had to be someone special to just walk into our school like that!"
"Arghhh!" Emily got ready to show that arrogant guy the real meaning of pain, but just in the moment both of them heard screams coming from inside the school. Concentrating on her hearing, Emily located where it had come from.
For a second the student was distracted by the screams and when he turned back around to look at the foreign student in front of him, he could see Emily running his way.
"Get out of my way!"
Austin was a student who was classified as the top dog at his school. He had been fearless when he had come here, facing every person who was willing to challenge him to a fight, but then there was an incident with a certain transfer student.
Something had told him that if he was going to have a fight with that said person, that it would be too dangerous, and now for the second time in his life, wishing for a short time frame, he had the same feeling when looking towards Emily.
"This is impossible!" Austin threw out a punch aiming to hit Emily right in the face.
