I checked the casualties, counting the my remaining T-Rexes. Twenty-four T-Rex and two Gigantosaur were still alive. Hmm, looks like three T-Rex had met their demise.  

I collected the loot from the fallen dinosaurs, adding it to my inventory, and headed back to base. I glanced at the time - 7:38 AM. 

"Time for school again," I thought to myself.

 

I grabbed my backpack, put on my ID, and dashed to school. I showed my ID to the guard before heading to my classroom. As I entered, I saw a familiar scene. Bawayan, my friend from the Shadow Unit Squad, was squaring off and beefing with Kyle, from the Avengers squad. 

Their brawny bodies close enough to touch. They both had the same build, and we all knew the drill. Tsk, why do people always fight! Is this somekind of tradition!?

 

"Yow, Mateo," I heard Elyzer's voice. "How's the progress?" he asked

Flashing a mischievous grin. He showed me his phone, and my jaw dropped. Eighteen tamed Raptors, two new Diplodocus, and one Brontosaurus. That was seriously impressive progress for just two days. I was pretty sure he had been breeding those Raptors and hatching their eggs. I offered him some tips and tricks for handling his new dino-crew.

 

Lunchtime arrived, and the Shadow Unit Squad gathered at their secret spot to eat and offer Bawayan encouragement. Some tried to get Benjo to talk about the aura and the lion again, but he couldn't do anything to replicate it. Mark, Elyzer, and I joined the group, even though we weren't officially part of the squad.

 

While munching on my lunch and scrolling through my phone, I stumbled upon an article about favorite animals and what they might signify. This felt interesting and curious.

"Hey, Bawayan, what's your favorite animal?" I asked.  

"Wolf, why?" He replied 

 

"I just found this article," I said. "It says that if your favorite animal is a wolf, then you're very spiritual, wise, mysterious, loyal, wild, playful, protective, and thrive on family and friendship. It also mentions their powerful jaw, or 'bite force,' and their strength in packs."

 

Bawayan snatched my phone and scanned the article, a hint of smugness on his face. He handed it back, acting like a powerful being, all because of the article and his love for wolves. 

Who would believe such a thing, right? My eyes caught sight of a button that read 

"Enemies of the Wolf" 

I clicked it, and one of the animals that popped up was a Lynx. I read the info about the Lynx:

 

Lynx are skilled hunters and incredibly stealthy, practically invisible. They have incredible hearing and eyesight, so strong that they can spot a mouse from 250 feet away. I wanted to keep reading about wolf enemies, but the bell rang, and we all rushed back to our classrooms.

 

After dismissal, we headed straight to the Battalion Ground to watch the fight. The referee from The Elite Squad announced the two fighters. 

I couldn't see any fear on Bawayan. He is really like that, we know what kind of person he is. He..... Loves fighting. He cracked his kuncles, they have him a massage. He brushed his brownish hair.

We wished Bawayan good luck. He went to the middle and came face to face with Kyle, the referee's hand held between them to prevent any sudden outbursts. 

I am not sure if that phenomenon will occur again. If it will, then let's see what would be the animals of this fighters this time. I only started coming here to just watch that phenomenon unfolds. It started feel..... Addicting to watch.

 

The referee whistled, everyone went quiet. One sound that they want to hear in fights is the referee's countdown.

"3....2....1....FIGHT!"
