My Wolf System -Rank-S

Mike called Lasa.

"Hey,"

Lasa answered the phone.

"Lasa, Giel is awake!" Mike said.

"What, really?" Lasa asked.

She added, "I'll ask if we're allowed to visit him yet."

"Yeah, do that," Mike replied.

Man, I have to try getting up, Mike thought.

So he sat up on the edge of the bed and tried…

No chance.

Too little energy.

"Oh maaan, how long is this gonna take… not even a healing potion helps!"

Then Lasa called Mike again.

Mike picked up.

"Yeah?"

"They said we're allowed to see Giel now," Lasa said.

Then she added something.

"But… he doesn't want to.

At the moment, that's what the doctors said."

Mike asked, "What? Why?"

"We don't know…"

"But he does want to talk to you — they just told me," Lasa said.

"With me? How is that supposed to work?"

"He wants to talk on the phone."

Lasa went into Giel's room, handed him the phone, and left the room.

Mike said,

"Hey Giel… are you okay? I already heard… you actually lost an arm — 

Luckily, Lasa was able to heal him.

With only one arm, your Sal career would've already been over.

"And I'm actually doing fine — I just can't get up, and—"

Giel interrupted Mike.

"Do you ever stop talking…

Player Wolf…"

"Wh-what?"

A chill ran down Mike's spine.

"W-w-what did you say…

Giel?"

How…

How do you kn-know…?

Giel hung up.

Mike started trembling.

Impossible.

No, no, no, no—

What the hell…

I have to—no…

Mike couldn't think.

He was too overwhelmed.

Then he stopped.

He took a deep breath in and—

shouted, "Bite! Sprint! Go get Lasa — bring her to me!"

Even though I'm not allowed to talk about the Five… bring her anyway.

Bite dashed off.

Mike raised his hand — it was shaking.

The other arm was broken and useless.

This is impossible…

Giel… one of the Five?

The whole time?

Bite and Lasa entered the room.

Lasa said, laughing,

"Mike, your wolf won't let go of me!"

Mike looked serious.

"What's wrong, Mike?" she asked.

Mike couldn't tell her the truth.

"Do you… like Giel?" he suddenly asked.

She replied,

"Yeah, of course. He's one of the funniest people I know."

Mike answered,

"He's not funny… not if you ask me.

We should—no, never mind."

"Stay away from him, okay?"

"What? What are you talking about, Mike?"

Giel's voice came from the doorway.

"Why should she stay away from me?"

"Giel!" Lasa shouted.

"You can stand?!"

Then Mike saw it —

It was impossible. Giel couldn't be one of the Five.

It had to be… a shapeshifter.

"H-hey Giel, do you remember the first words we ever said to each other?" Mike asked.

"What? No, how would I—"

"Bite. Pack. Strike. Get him. Bite him!"

Mike suddenly interrupted.

Lasa screamed,

"What are you doing, Mike?!"

The wolves charged.

A small explosion burst out.

Suddenly, a boy stood there —

with pale blond hair and pitch-black eyes.

"Heh. Good catch.

The real Giel's passed out in the bathroom right now.

Maybe you should go check on him."

Then he ran off.

Lasa was speechless.

Mike said,

"I was right…"

Which player could he have been?

Fireborn = Dragon

Beast: Giant Dragon (alive)

Reg = Eagle beast???

Most likely: Eagle (dead)

Mike = Wolf
