Wolf? Clearly a dog

"Come on, kid Feiyang, join my guild!"

Hey, hey, hey~ joining is one thing, but do you have to be so sentimental about it?

"For now, this is the only way!"

Yun Feiyang stood up and said, "I look forward to working with you!"

"Good, good, good! You won't regret this decision!"

Makarov couldn't stop grinning from ear to ear. He had successfully kidnapped—pfft, I mean, successfully recruited another kid with extraordinary potential. How wonderful!

"Let's go. Accompany me to take care of some official business first, and I'll take you out later."

"Is it the reinforcement of the seal you mentioned earlier?"

"Correct!"

"Where is it? I've walked all over this place and haven't seen anything like what you described."

"Just follow me and you'll see!"

The two headed toward the center of the forest.

"What is this terrifying existence you mentioned? If it can be sealed, it wouldn't be some kind of monster, would it?"

"A kid shouldn't ask about things they aren't supposed to know!"

"Tch, you old shorty!"

"Hey~ I am your Guild Master now. Can you show me a little respect?"

"Oh, right. Respecting the elderly and cherishing the young is a traditional virtue of our country!"

Yun Feiyang corrected himself immediately, "I'm sorry, Guild Master. I promise it won't happen again!"

Makarov was satisfied. The boy was teachable—much better than those troublemakers back home.

After walking for a while, a small white creature darted out from the bushes ahead. It looked disheveled and was being chased by two Gale Wolves.

"Huh? What a cute little puppy!"

Makarov's mouth twitched. Are you blind? That is clearly a wolf pup!

"Hey!"

Yun Feiyang let out a shout and charged forward, "You wild wolves over there, let that little cutie go!"

Seeing that terrifying human charging toward them, the two Gale Wolves were so frightened that they turned and ran!

Yun Feiyang picked up the wolf cub. "How cute! How pitiful!"

"It's decided, from now on, you'll be my pet!"

Makarov walked over to take a closer look, his expression turning strange. This was clearly a cub of a Moon-Howling White Wolf.

Could it be the child of that Wolf King from earlier?

That was the only possible explanation!

"Little puppy, from now on, you shall be called Little White!"

Killing someone's mother and then adopting their child?

What kind of messed-up situation is this?

No, wait!

The kid isn't being dense; he's doing this on purpose. He must have realized what it was!

Without its mother's protection, cast out by its pack, and left with no one to rely on, this cub wouldn't survive in this perilous forest.

He took it in precisely because he saw that, didn't he? Is it because he feels guilty?

The cycle of karma—it really is true that what goes around comes around!

Watching Yun Feiyang tease the wolf cub, Makarov's expression was bizarre.

"Guild Master, what are you doing? Let's go!"

Makarov stepped forward and emphasized, "That is a wolf, not a dog!"

"Nonsense, it's clearly a dog!"

"Little White, give him a bark!"

"Awoooo~"

"Wrong, how could you howl like that? You're a dog, not a wolf!"

"Come on, try again!"

"Woof?"

"Haha... that's more like it!"

Yun Feiyang: (∩_∩)

Little White: (⊙﹏⊙)

Makarov: (O_o)

Wouldn't it be better to just face it directly? What a difficult child!

The two walked along the path, dealing with the occasional magical beast that jumped out with a casual wave of their hands.

"Thanks to you, I don't even have to clear out the magical beasts in the forest anymore."

Indeed, they were almost all wiped out by Yun Feiyang.

"You have the nerve to say that? Do you know how I spent these past three years?"

Whenever this topic came up, he couldn't stay calm. Every day was like a headless fly buzzing around, unable to find an exit. Who could possibly understand the frustration and bitterness of that?

Three whole years!

Sigh~ talking about it just brings tears to my eyes!

"Alright, Feiyang..."

"Feiyang is already dead, you chose him, idol... cough cough~ got a bit carried away!"

Makarov glanced at him. This kid definitely had something wrong with him; he would need to see a psychiatrist once they got out.

The two arrived in front of a lake and stopped.

"We're here!"

"This is it?"

Yun Feiyang looked left and right. "I've been to this place before, there's nothing here!"

"Don't be impatient, it'll appear soon!"

Makarov took out something that looked like a Compass and explained, "There is a Magic Array carved inside this; it acts as a key to the barrier."

After speaking, he channeled his magic power into the Compass. A massive Magic Array emerged and shot toward the surface of the lake.

The water began to ripple, and a spatial portal appeared on the surface of the lake.

"Let's go!"

Makarov jumped in first.

"So it was hidden!"

Yun Feiyang followed him inside.

This was a small valley, with a statue towering in the center.

The statue had a human upper body, while its lower half was replaced by a swirling whirlwind.

"Is this the terrifying existence you were talking about? Is it human?"

The figure was indeed imposing and extraordinary, but the more Yun Feiyang looked, the stranger he felt.

"Don't you think he looks a lot like me? Just as handsome!"

Makarov looked at one, then at the other, and had to admit that the contours of their facial features were indeed very similar, which couldn't help but set him to deep thought.

Suddenly, a sound of something tearing through the air came from the side!

"Watch out!"

The two dodged to either side as a giant wind blade sliced through the middle, plowing a deep trench into the valley floor.

"ROAR~~"

With a roar that echoed throughout the valley, a tiger the size of an elephant leaped out!

It was a massive tiger with black and white stripes, its eyes filled with ferocity; it clearly did not like these two uninvited guests.

"What a majestic and domineering tiger!"

"Little White, you should look up to it in the future, understand?"

"Whimper~"

Little White was so scared that it buried itself into Yun Feiyang's arms.

"Honestly, your courage is really lacking!"

"Stop joking around!"

Makarov's expression turned solemn. "This is a Nether Demonic Tiger, an existence beyond S-Class. It's not something you can handle!"

"Is it that scary?"

"You step aside and let me handle this!"

Makarov stood in front of the Nether Demonic Tiger.

"Guild Master, can you handle it?"

"No problem. Your Guild Master is very powerful, known as one of the Ten Wizard Saints. You hurry..."

Makarov turned his head to look, and good grief, Yun Feiyang had already hidden far away.

"Go Guild Master! Skin it and make me a cape."

Makarov's mouth twitched. This kid is really... trying to be the death of me with his filial piety!

"Guild Master, look out!"

Makarov looked up to see the Nether Demonic Tiger pouncing toward him!

"Get down!"

Makarov's arm underwent Gigantification, and with a single palm, he slammed the Nether Demonic Tiger into the ground.

The Nether Demonic Tiger was enraged, spitting out a crescent-shaped wind blade that came slicing through the air!

"How could something like this possibly work!"

Makarov's entire body underwent Gigantification. He swatted the wind blade away casually and looked down at the Nether Demonic Tiger from above.

The scale of their sizes had completely flipped; now, the Nether Demonic Tiger looked like nothing more than a tiny kitten in front of Makarov.

Yun Feiyang could see the fear in its eyes!

The Nether Demonic Tiger tried to flee, but Makarov grabbed it by the tail, swung it around in a circle, and smashed it heavily into the ground.

Bang!

The immense force even made the entire valley jump!
