Metanoia; The Hybrid
CHAPTER 18: THE GREAT LYCANTHROPE.

"How's that aura?"

"At that time we were young, just carrying out a small task ordered by INTI. We were tasked with subjugating a creature younger than us, perhaps at that time he was just as old as you. We have absolutely no idea what kind of creature it is, and how it was created. He's wilder than an animal. Astbourne is where he's hiding. But once we caught him. At first we thought it was over. When we wanted to put it in a pentagram and lock it in there, it slashed its tail at us."

"He stood on two wolf legs, staring at us with two pairs of demonic eyes, as well as the two fangs shown. The creature can damage the pentagram of a Demon Hunter" explained Mr. Arthurian.

"My only fear was death. Really am. He could have shut us all down with just his aura. It was so powerful that, if I may say so, space and time paused for a moment in its calculations. We won't be able to feel his aura a second time if he doesn't let us live" Mr. Abraham.

"The creature left, leaving a former forest that was destroyed because of his actions. And that's why the Astbourne Valley exists" said Mr. Chairoz until we've returned home.

The story made me wonder what kind of creature it was. "After that, what happened?"

"That thing just gave us a memory trace, then it disappeared without a trace. No one can find him. For years Astbourne has been a marked region" he added.

"However, we went back on one mission together, to deal with a boy between the ages of thirteen and fifteen. The child was described as a child who lost his mind. He's like a normal kid. We found it at Angkara **Pack**. No one confessed to their parents. What made him called losing his mind was, he killed people and ate them. One of our group members, a Healer from the Wizard clan, died horribly because of the boy" said Mr. Arthurian.

"Name Orlando, he's my partner I told you about. In order to save my life, he had to sacrifice himself. The boy attacked us very brutally. He could dodge and reverse our attacks easily. Therefore, we took a little time, waiting for the right momentum to secure it. But at that time, Orlando was the victim" explained Mr. Chiroz.

Mr. Chairoz told me about his experience when we were in the kingdom of Claverdon. The person in the story, named Orlando. I'm so sorry to hear this.

"We managed to get the boy in INTI's hands. They put it into a cell that was very far away, but connected by an elongated passageway. Therefore, if you search for a place where S-level prisoners are located, you will not find them in INTI building. Since then, the last time we saw him. That look is the look of death we've ever seen" Mr. Joseph.

"Your stories are very interesting" I said.

"Of course, that's why when we all got together and faced you, my memory was nostalgic. I don't know because you have the same eyes as that kid. The world is very narrow" Mr. Samuel rubbed my head gently.

"Hahaha, his eyes are different Samuel. Because it has more deadly eyes" laughs Mr. Arthurian.

Me and the other children returned to collect the water we brought, then put the buckets back in place.

After that, breakfast, we entered the first class, the history class held by Mrs. Barnabeth Ezra is a vampire. I sat at the back table with Chlea.

"This is my first time in class" I told Chlea.

"Everybody just entered class today, yesterday only morning class" Chlea said.

Instantly the class went silent when a middle-aged woman with curly blonde hair emerged from the door, she was Mrs.Bernabeth.

"Good morning, students" he said, busying himself with a small, clear ball-shaped object in his hand.

"Good morning, Mrs. Elizabeth!" Our consent simultaneously.

Mrs. Barnabeth placed the glass ball inside a device on her desk connected by a cable, it was connected to another device hanging from the classroom ceiling.

"Mom think it's your first day of class?" Ask while turning on the device on his desk, then from the lens out came the light reflected on the board. Mrs. Barnabeth then turned off the lights by her telekinesis, so we could see the images created by the light.

"That's a picture of a Lycanthrope" murmured Chlea.

"That picture isn't like Lycanthrope, Mrs. Barnabelle. A Lycanthrope has the shape of a wolf that is larger than any other normal wolf" Edward said suddenly.

But what he said was true, the image did not look like a whole wolf. It resembled a mutant wolf whose size might be very large. He did not stand on 4 feet, but 2 feet behind him.

"That's why you have to learn about history to improve your mind" Mrs said. Barnabelle.

"Millions of centuries ago, when the world was still not fully formed and the split of the sky was still inhabited by Gods and Goddesses to regulate nature. The king of Arcadia, turned into a ravenous wolf by the god Zeuz in retaliation for trying to get his son to visit the god Zeuz, an attempt to disprove the God's negligence. Then the wolf met the Goddess Artemis, they became familiar. The Goddess wandered with the wolf. Goddess Artemis loved wolves. Until one day, his enemy came to kill him and bring the Goddess, but the wolf saved him."

"It was fortunate that, as a tribute, the Goddess bestowed grace, the ability to become a human being and give strength to the wolf. To date, the wolf is known as Lycan or Lycantroph."

I nodded in understanding with what Mrs said. Barnabelle. Exactly like you told me when Allegro and I were about to sleep in the middle of the night.

"After having the ability and power, the Lycanthrope is relegated to the world and he has a small territory for himself. Another wolf attacked because it came to this place. He didn't kill or eat them that fast. But he bit them. Spreading part of his body. And make those wolves be human. That's when the Pack made by Lycantroph began to control the entirety of the Danveurn State. First pack ever, Angkara Pack."

"I get goosebumps hearing it" Chlea whispered as she continued to look at the picture ahead. The picture continues to change, like a painting made to commemorate the formation of the first existing Pack.

"After the Lycanthrope passed on generations, until it began to be built during the reign of the First King Andromeda and the Second King Andromeda in the Angkara Kingdom" continued Mrs. Barnabelle.

"Mrs. Barnabeth, but why was the first Lycanthrope transformation different?" The question came out of Jack's mouth.

Mrs. Barnabeth laughed for a while, "Didn't mom explain about First Lycanthrope biting another wolf and spreading a part of herself?"

However, Mrs said. Barnabeth still leaves a lot of people confused, including me.

"The wolves have power and can become human by bite, not true descendants. Only true descendants have the perfect form of Lycanthrope."

That meant..

"One of the first true descendants of Lycanthrope is in this class" Mrs. Barnabeth pointed at me until all the students in the class looked over and saw me too.

But I'm not so sure, because I saw the form of Saga that has a shape like a wolf in general and is not a mutant wolf that looks great.

"Although that perfect form can only be transformed when the night of Moon Full Night arrives, because the current generation of Angkara Kingdom has a vulnerable time so far from the glory days of First Lycanthrope" continued Mrs. Barnabelle.

"That's why, humans call the present-day Lycanthrope Werewolf, no wonder because the general form of transformation is so dominant as the perfect form of Lycanthrope. But I'm pretty sure you still recognize yourself as a true Lycanthrope" he said, making us all understand.

"You have to remember it well as today's lesson. I want you to make at least 5 essays on the Lycanthrope Pack, the heyday, the hierarchical system, and the realm of power. I want you to collect it later, during our second meeting. Afterwards, we'll discuss the history of the Vampire clan."

Hearing the task given, made many people sigh unhappily. I smiled for a moment at those who did not want to be given a task on their first day.

"It won't be hard, you can get that information in the library books" Mrs suggested. Barnabelle.

I just stared at Chlea who kept laughing at their faces, and the class ended quickly.
