After Axis devoured enough food to feed more than a dozen people, the tribal warriors finally looked terrified!
"Y-Your Majesty, he, he, he's eaten so much. W-Won't something happen to him?"
How could that tiny body hold so much food? What on earth was inside his stomach?
"Hahaha, it's fine! Having a big appetite is a good thing. I can eat a lot, too," Leman Russ said with a laugh.
What a fine boy. He could eat even more than Russ had at that age. The more Leman Russ looked at the long-tailed child, the more adorable he found him.
Meanwhile, Axis wiped his mouth and finished off enough food for more than twenty people, to the astonishment of all the Fenrisian warriors.
He'd only just arrived on this planet, so he didn't dare eat his fill. He'd stopped after managing to get about halfway full.
At that moment, all the Space Wolves stared at Axis in shock. That kid could eat even more than the current Wolf King! Was this some kind of joke?
Could he really be the Wolf King's illegitimate son from some distant land? They both seemed to have fallen from the sky.
Axis gave the towering man in front of him a satisfied smile after his meal. He'd eaten so much—had he scared these guys?
Judging by how they looked like they'd seen a ghost, they probably hadn't heard the stories about the Saiyans. That was a good thing. After all, his people were notorious throughout the universe as warmongers!
He had no idea whether this planet had any moons. If it had a large one, he'd have to be careful.
If he saw it at night, he might turn into a Great Ape. As a Low-Class Warrior, his bloodline meant he couldn't keep his mind under control.
That would be a real disaster.
"Hahaha! My little Wolf Cub, are you full?" Leman Russ came over to Axis and asked with a relatively gentle smile.
Although Axis couldn't understand what he was saying, he nodded and patted his completely unchanged belly.
I'm nowhere near full! I could eat just as much again! But I'll stop here to avoid scaring you.
"Prepare a clean room for the boy. Lay out the finest furs for him and light the fire so he can get a good night's sleep.
"Also, move the spaceship he arrived in to my room and put it beside mine." Leman Russ stood up and nodded in satisfaction.
Over the next few months, Wolf King Russ held young Axis in his arms and pointed out all kinds of things on Fenris, teaching him the words for them.
Wolves, cold, food, warriors!
These were the four words every child on Fenris had to learn first as they grew up.
Leman Russ found Axis similar to him in many ways: his appetite, his fighting strength, even the way he'd arrived.
But the boy didn't seem to be as quick-witted as Russ. Back then, Russ had learned the human language perfectly in just a few days.
This boy had spent several months on it and could still barely hold a conversation with him. Even then, he wasn't very fluent.
Still, the boy was already much smarter than an ordinary child. Maybe he'd improve as he got older.
When Russ had first entered human society, he was already ten years old. Before that, he'd lived with his wolf mother.
In the blink of an eye, Axis had been on this planet for a whole year. His days followed the same routine: eating, learning the Fenrisian language, and sleeping.
Over the course of that year, Axis's battle power had increased by 50 points, reaching 160. During their growth period, Saiyans...
were best off avoiding too much high-intensity training. So he only did some ordinary activities, yet his battle power continued to rise steadily.
After a year, Axis had successfully learned the native language of this planet.
He'd also learned that the man who'd adopted him was named Leman Russ, the king of this frozen, barren planet, whose title was Wolf King.
But Russ didn't seem to know about the emperor of the universe, Frieza, or his Evil Legion. He didn't know anything about the Saiyans, either.
Just as he'd thought, this was a backward planet! It must be somewhere on the edge of the universe, with next to no resources.
By Saiyan standards, it wasn't even worth invading.
But the conditions here were well suited to his growth. Axis planned to stay, at least until he was in his teens.
"Hahaha! My little Wolf Cub, I hunted a huge beast today. A massive Mammoth Giant Elephant! Want to see who can eat more?" Leman Russ came over to Axis and asked.
"Are you sure you want to compete with me? When have you ever beaten me?" Axis turned and rolled his eyes.
Competing with a Saiyan at eating? You've got guts. Even the emperor of the universe, Frieza, wouldn't dare challenge a Saiyan in that.
"I went hungry for three days out there this time! I'm sure I can beat you. If I win, you have to call me Father. How about it?" Leman Russ said.
Axis sighed at that. What are you, Whitebeard? Why do you like going around collecting sons so much?
And you keep calling me your little Wolf Cub! We're not related at all!
He wouldn't mind having Russ as his master, but Leman Russ seemed set on making him a Wolf Cub. Axis was helpless about it.
So the two took part in one of Fenris's traditional contests.
On Fenris, if two people disagreed, and one wanted the other to do as he said while the other refused, they could settle it with three contests.
Eating, drinking, and wrestling.
If you could beat the other person in all three, then he had to listen to you.
But Leman Russ couldn't bring himself to compete in drinking or wrestling against a six-year-old, so they could only compete at eating.
And the result? It went without saying. Saiyans had never lost when it came to eating.
Ever since Axis had mastered the planet's language six months ago, the two of them had held an eating contest every few days.
The result was that poor Wolf King Leman Russ had never won once. Losing at eating to a six-year-old boy had really rankled him.
"Hmph! Come on, brat! I've already had them roast the meat. This time, I'm definitely making you call me Father," Leman Russ said.
"Bring it on!" Axis clapped his hands. If you're asking to get humiliated, I'll oblige.
Once my battle power's a little higher, I'll use you as a training dummy.
Soon, the huge mammoth had been roasted and set down in front of them.
