Chapter 585 Pick One
Through a process of elimination, Gary determined that Olivia had to be the one who turned Marie into a Werewolf. This conclusion was reached as Kai's reaction indicated he was not responsible, and Midwak was also ruled out. Given Olivia's past actions, including her use of the whip to save the group, Gary could not imagine her acting with harmful intentions.
In the end, Marie was safe, and Gary had to address the new reality he was facing.
'Now that she is a Werewolf, there is a good chance that she won't just be involved in gang matters, and that Midwak's old Pack might go after in the future. In that case, the best thing to do is to allow her to evolve, and assign her a Class.'
Having gone through the process himself in the past, Gary knew that the process of receiving a Class was quite painful. Remembering Kai's transformation, and Olivia's complaint about no prior notice, he decided to warn Marie in advance by sending her a text.
Feeling confident in his decision, Gary smiled to himself and opened his Pack tab. He then allocated the necessary Pawn Points toward Marie and watched as the system reacted as expected.
[Congratulations, your Pawn Grade Beta wolf, is now a Knight grade]
[The Beta Wolf 'Marie' is now able to select from one of the following classes]
[Congratulations, one of your Beta Werewolves (Mai Degrace) has been upgraded to Knight Grade]
[You may now select her class]
[Hunter Class]
[A Werewolf Hunter is fast, agile, and sneaky. They focus on killing their prey quickly, out of sight and from the shadows. They are able to track their targets from a great distance and have great focus]
[Class perks include: More and better Marks, improved tracking]
This was the same Class he had assigned Olivia. It was handy to have her as a Hunter as Gary could mark targets, giving her a boost in power. While she could do it as well, without a system of her own, she would only do so subconsciously, once her killing intent for a target exceeded some unknown value.
As for the tracking features, Gary's theory on that were that Hunter Class Werewolves had a larger detection range for Marks. He himself had realised in the past that the ones he had marked, like Tom or his sister, had turned more and more faint, the greater the distance. Because of that, although, he would know when one of his friends was in trouble, following them via that scent was next to impossible.
Given that their Pack already had a Hunter, Gary felt that it wasn't really necessary to a need another one, though part of his decision also stemmed from the fact that the system also didn't recommend that option.
[Warrior Class]
[Werewolf Warriors can be considered the vanguards of their Pack. They lead their Pack into battle with their great strength. They have exceptional fighting ability and courage, but it is because of this trait, that they also boast the highest fatality rate.]
[Class perks include: Wide range of skills to select from, large Energy pool]
This option was of course what Gary had chosen for himself. It was a strong Class, and unlike with the others, he already knew what the advanced options were that one would be able to select. Although he didn't think that the role of a Dark Warrior would suit her, it might not hurt to turn her into the Paladin Class in the future.
'However, what I don't like about it, is the fact that it states they have the highest fatality rate. Although the Classes past that are good, I'm not sure if I have enough points to shoot her up to a Grade where she can select her next Class. I also have no idea about what the Class Promotions for the other two Classes are, for all I know, they might be just as good, if not better.'
[Protector Class]
[A Werewolf Protector boasts one of the sturdiest bodies of their race. They use their own body to shield their fellow Pack members from any harm, making sure they will survive.]
[Class perks include: Extra Endurance, faster healing.]
'Unlike Kai, Marie only has access to the three base Classes. Does that mean that he only got that extra option because I used Alpha Bite to turn him, was it purely luck, or could it have something to do with natural aptitude? The system also didn't recommend any of them this time, so does that mean Marie is simply an all-rounder?' Gary wondered, but then recalled that when he had to make a choice for his Class Promotion, there also had been no recommendation.
Given the last option, Marie's small stature didn't exactly seem to fit the image Gary had when he thought of a Protector Class Werewolf. He felt like this was a role suited for someone with a large wall of muscle like Austin. He also had yet to experience what the Protector Class could do or its traits so it was a bit of a risk.
'Going by the Class perks, the best advantage the Protector Class seems to have is that they should be very hard to kill. A hard body, and fast healing. Although the name sounds like they would only be good as defenders, that doesn't have to mean that they have no offensive capabilities.
'There's also no reason for Marie to completely change and give up what she has been doing to fit such a role. Choosing this one, nothing is stopping her from continuing to be a backline support, only with the added benefit of extreme defence, and great healing. This way, she should be able to survive long enough for any of us to help her out from any bad situation. I also believe Kai would support such a choice..'
The more Gary thought about it, the more he talked himself into this being the optimal choice for her.
[You have selected the Protector Class]
[The process will now begin.]
