Chapter 608 The Only Debut Student
Chapter 608 The Only Debut Student
The result was surprising to say the least and that was for all of them including Gary. There had been times where no students would be selected for a debut match, but the students had been keeping an eye on each other during the assessment stage, and to them there were a lot more than just Gary that was ready.
In the end, none of them could say anything, as the result was final. At the same time, they were unaware that Gary had broken quite a few records at the academy, including being the quickest to go from entering the academy to becoming a debut student.
All the students dispersed from the room, vowing to do better next time, while Gary had been given a set of instructions. He would no longer be staying at the normal dormitory and instead would be staying in a separate building altogether where he would learn with a personal teacher.
"Don't you think this sucks a bit?" Ian said, as he shoved a bunch of clothes into a box without even folding them. A visible vein could be seen on Izzy's forehead who took everything out and refolded the clothes before putting them back in.
"Why are you even helping Gary pack if you're just going to make things ten times longer." Izzy mumbled.
"I agree, we won't be training with you anymore and probably will hardly see you around the academy." Numba added. "On top of that, don't you think you'll be a bit lonely, I mean you're the only debut student so it will just be you and Eddy most of the time."
"It will be okay." Gary replied. "I never planned to stay in the academy for so long. Usually, even the debut students go through some training before they have their first match, but I have a feeling I won't be waiting long."
Although it might have sounded as if Gary was being cooky, the others knew he was right. They had already asked Gary to become a debut student, and he had grown far stronger than he was back then.
They could see it during the assessment, what more did the academy have that they could teach Gary, he was quite possibly stronger than even the teachers
"This won't be goodbye." Izzy said. "So let's not act like it is a goodbye. We will be right behind you. Remember we are in an alliance, so you can come to us whenever you want and we'll help you."
Gary smiled as he replied.

The building was detached from the main academy, a little off in the corner. Gary had been here a few times before, what he didn't realise before was that above the training room on the second floor was where the rooms for the debut students to stay were at. After unpacking and staying in his new room, Gary had headed downstairs where he could see Eddy was patiently waiting for him.
"It looks like you kept your promise, you said you would wait till the assessment and here you are." Eddy smiled. "Are you excited?"
This was at one point that in Gary's dream, he imagined if he had never joined the gang in the first place, then he would have been over the moon at what was about to happen. So then why did he feel so hollow?
'Is it because there is no one with me, the others aren't here. Is it because I would rather be with them or in my home town with the other Howlers members?' Gary wasn't so sure and just felt a bit lost.
However, there was one thing that still spurred him on, and that was when thinking about the other debut students before him, in particular Xin. He had watched her match along with all of the others, and they had practically become superstars overnight because of it.
This was in a lot of ways the only connection and thing he had in common with Xin still, so he wanted to hang onto it a little bit.
"I wanted to ask, why was I the only debut student selected, surely there were others that would do well, like Snow, Wu or Apollo." Gary asked.
"So that's what was eating you up in your mind?" Eddy replied. "Just as you said, there were those that could have debuted and don't get me wrong, Apollo is someone who is stronger than most of the students we have ever debuted before. I have no doubt that if he was to fight now that he would win his match.
"But if you listened to my words carefully, we selected the debut students when we think they are ready. The others, they still have a lot to learn from the academy."
Although this answer was true, there was another reason for this, and it was due to Crowley's request before leaving. They were to protect Gary. While he was still in the main academy, it was hard to keep him under watch.
Who knew what NIRV would attempt to do, and it was the same if they had put other students with Gary. In a way, Eddy was now Gary's personal bodyguard, and they would get him to have his match and leave this place as soon as he could, for his own safety.
"Regardless, today is a day of celebration and it should be about you, and I think there is something that might surprise you." Eddy said.
"I'm sure you know already that the media can't stop talking about the recent crop of debut students. They are the next big thing and many companies have reached out for interviews, commercials, and more.
"Well because of this, tomorrow for the whole day, we have some guests that will be coming over, wanting to interview you!"
"Interview me?" Gary repeated, not really sure this was a good idea. Then again, no one knew the face of the Howlers leader, and becoming an AFC fighter his face would be shown to all anyway.
"Yes, it seems like they want to get the next scoop. They want to have and make the next star in the making. I think you will do well, and it's a good chance that you could make quite a bit of money from this."
Hearing these words, naturally Gary's ears perked up, old habits didn't go away.
"Anyway, they are a fairly big entertainment company, called AJ Entertainment, so be on your very best behaviour."
