"YEEEAAAAHHHH I FINALLY BEATEN THE FIRST BOSS!" I shouted in excitement, a huge grin spreading across my face. I checked the casualties, counting the fallen enemies: 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, checked my ID, and dashed to school, showing 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 against Kyle, from the Avengers squad, their brawny bodies close enough to touch. They both had the same build, and we all knew the drill.

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

"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, and we wished Bawayan good luck. He stood face to face with Kyle, the referee's hand held between them to prevent any sudden outbursts.

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