Leo looked at Billy, who was standing there with a smile on his face. He had already taken a fighting stance. And, there was a ferocious aura surrounding him. It was obvious that he wasn't someone you could deal that easily with. And, this was even when he was suppressing himself.

Leo slowly began to circulate his Arora energy, and strength slowly started to accumulate in his legs. He was confident that he could cover the distance between them in a single step. After all, unlike an open battlefield, this was a small fighting ring.

"Whoosh!"

Leo finally moved and he was fast.

Billy's pupil constricted and he immediately pulled his arms in and raised his guard. He planned to take Leo's hit, and then counter him at close range as he believed that he was stronger than Leo, both in terms of strength and defense even at this level.

But suddenly, his eyes widened when Leo's posture began to change. He thought that Leo was planning for a running kick, but he halted his steps a short distance away from him. His body changed postures and in that short interval of time, a roundhouse kick came crashing onto his sides.

Billy immediately lowered his arms a bit to defend, but something unexpected happened. The kick suddenly changed its course and it rose further upward before smashing onto the back of his palm and crashing into his head.

"Bang!"

A thunderous noise rang out and everyone's eyes widened.

That certainly seemed dangerous.

Billy tried to maintain his steps, but his leg moved and he ended up taking a couple of steps towards his side.

Leo's face instantly turned grim when he saw that. He was sure that the hit was strong. If it was a Yellow ranker at Lv 10, that person sure would have been either on the ground on retreating in pain.

'What's with this unfair world?! Gosh! People with upper rank skill are monsters..' Leo cursed inwardly, and once again rushed ahead. His body suddenly turned midway as he performed a back kick.

He was trying perform a combo move.

As long as he could connect his move with kneed to his face, Leo was sure that this guy wouldn't be able to remain so calm.

"Bang!"

"Hmmn.." Leo's eyes widened, when Billy suddenly caught his feet. He tried to shake himself but couldn't pull his feet out of his grasp at all.

"What are you going to do in this situation?" Billy asked with a calm look, "This will be your weakness if you fight people at a level above."

Billy then moved his leg and slide it across the floor in a an arc. He kick Leo's other foot, making him lose his ground.

"Thud!"

Leo immediately collapsed onto the ground.

"Don't tell me you are just a sitting duck if someone manages to grab hold of your legs?" Billy asked with a frown.

"Crackle!"

A jolt of energy suddenly passed through Billy's body shocking him up, and his grip immediately weakened.

Leo used this opportunity and performed a backward roll while pulling his leg out of his grasp.

"You want to play like that?" Billy asked with a menacing smile. He shook his arm which was still numb from the shock while looking at Leo.

Suddenly, his eyes turned red, and his energy began to go berserk.

This immediately terrified everyone thinking that this guy had lost control in anger. But, it wasn't like that. Billy's fur began to grow at a rapid rate, and his human form began to resemble more and more like a wolf.

In the end, his back slightly arched below and his canines grew a few times their original size.

He clearly had an upper body that resembled more like that of a wolf now.

"Grr.." He growled looking at Leo with those bloodthirsty eyes while saliva leaked through his mouth.

"Is this still Level 10?" Leo muttered in a low voice as sweat began to slide down his forehead. He thought that he could have easily defeated this guy at Lv 10 as long as he activated [Enhance]. But, now it doesn't seem possible. He wasn't even sure if that really was enough for him to draw this fight.

But, the next instant, Billy retracted his Skill and went back to his normal form. All the battle intent and bloodthirsty aura leaking from him disappeared as well.

"Let's not get this serious." He looked at Leo with a smile, "You have a match the day after tomorrow. It will be bad if you get injured. Not to mention, we have a little girl here. I am nor sure if it will be good for her. If she has nightmares because of this, I really wouldn't know what to do."

Leo appreciated his first reason. As for Clair having nightmares, he didn't know whether to laugh at it or not. He would be just happy enough if this girl didn't give other nightmares.

"Tsk.."

Harry turned his head towards the side after hearing someone clicking their tongue in dissatisfaction. But, there was only Clair there looking at the fight excitedly.

'Did I imagine things?'

As soon as he turned his head away, Clair gave him a look.

'This guy has got strong senses..' She had actually clicked her tongue. She was disappointed that Billy had ended the fight with a ridiculous reason like that. Hell, she wanted to see some blood at least.

This was no fun at all.

From the fight, Billy had judged enough of Leo.

He then went on to guide Leo.

He certainly was better than Aiden in terms of techniques and insights as he was at a greater level. On the other hand, Aiden had a rich knowledge when it came to weapons, and awakeners in general.

And, then there was the almighty coach Arthur.

You just couldn't compete with this guy when it came to the things he had stored in his database. If it was there, then he was probably best at explaining that thing.

…

Wolfez Mansion, Glory City, Capital.

"Where is she?! Find her!! How can you people be so careless?!!!" The Lady of the house was going crazy recently. Her youngest daughter had suddenly gone missing, and she had no idea where she was.

There had been so many servants in the house, dozens of guards and yet she still disappeared in thin air.

This was just ridiculous.

"Did you find anything in her room, Christina?" She asked looking at Christina walking down the stairs.

"No, she has even left her smart link in her room." Christina shook her head with a worried look on her face.

"Don't you have any of her friend's numbers? Call them.."

Christina gave her a nod, and as she looked at her wrist, her body turned stiff.

She suddenly remembered something.

"That girl…" She looked at her mom and said, "I remember she asked for my Smart link saying that she broke and she wanted to call her friend."

"But, you saw it in her room, right?" Her mother asked with a frown.

"Yes, it wasn't broken." Christina gave her a nod. She then immediately ran up to her room, and took an older version of smart link which she no longer used. After entering her credentials, she could see what had been done with her account.

Her mother followed behind her too.

A minute later..

Both of them had shocked written all over their faces once they had gone through her recent activities.

They couldn't believe just what the girl had done.

Clair actually wanted to go to the Silver House the previous day as well. But, since nothing was confirmed, her parents refused saying that if it was true, then she would have a chance to visit anytime she wanted with her sister.

And, when it turned true. Her sister refused to let her go there.

"That girl…" The lady sighed, feeling a pain in her head. She really had troublesome daughters.

"I will go and bring her back." Christina immediately took her basic stuff, and then went out of the mansion.

She called Leo for his and Clair's whereabouts, but for some reason, no one picked up.

…

Clair had Leo's smart link in her hand as she looked at the incoming call and just turned the volume down.

'She must have found out..'

"What are you doing?" Leo asked her as he came out of the ring covered in sweat.

"Nothing, it was just my sister." She shook her head.

"Is she coming to pick you up?" Leo asked, looking at her.

"No, you are going to drop me back." Clair folded her arms, "I didn't pick her phone by the way."

Leo's face twitched and a frown appeared on his face.

"Why are you troubling her?"

"Well, I need to give them enough headaches so they would just voluntarily ask me to visit you next time instead of stopping me. And, that would help us in our cooperation," Clair calmly replied.

"Corporations? Don't you mean blackmailing?" Leo asked with a snort.

"How can a weak little girl like me blackmail anyone?" She asked with a sweet smile, and Leo could only sigh in despair.
