1st place Guild's D-class Guild Leader Episode 12

 

 

 

 

 

I was left alone on the mat. He didn't have the ability to jump to the top of a tree like Gio, and the wolf was getting frighteningly close, baring his teeth.

 

The wolf's mouth was huge, big enough to swallow me whole.

 

"Rudel, damage!"

 

Lilit struggled, but Gio's arm wouldn't let go.

 

Gio perched on a branch above my head, watching with a monotonous-looking look as I was about to fall on him.

 

'yes, I don't know if I'm going to get eaten or not.......'

 

I'll take care of it. Yes, the leader of the team has to take care of everything.

 

Just before the wolf's open mouth slammed into me, I rolled to the side and barely dodged.

 

The wolf, unable to control its speed, sped past us and struck our food basket. At the same time, Gio shouted.

 

"...... my sandwich!"

 

Me < sandwiches?

 

Gio's eyes, which had not budged in the face of my crisis, rolled back.

 

Just in time, the wolf stopped, braking to make the footprints dig deeper.

 

Then, just as he was about to turn and attack me again, Geo fell on top of the charging wolf and clung to him.

 

"Rudel, what's that?"

 

Lirit, who was still on the tree, shouted.

 

"How can a wolf be that big?"

 

The wolf's eyes would have been red. He was restless, drooling, and aggressive, as if he had rabies.

 

Gio is also amazing. I can't believe I can cling to a wolf like that with only the strength of my legs.

 

Soon, Gio's massive forearms began to twitch and he began to dig into the back of the wolf's neck and squeak it hard.

 

Bang!

 

The next moment, the wolf staggered and slammed its back against a tree. Gio was knocked out of the square.

 

It hurt quite a bit, and Gio's throat came out of his throat as well. He glared at the wolf with eyes contorted in anger and summoned his inventory.

 

"Rudel, are you going to kill this?"

 

An arm's length of sharp midway was in his hand.

 

At this time, I realized one thing and shouted urgently.

 

"Don't kill!"

 

This wolf wasn't like a beast that spawned on the field.

 

This is a character. In other words, people.

 

Both Gio and Lyrit were surprised.

 

"What?"

 

 

 

[Ability Groups] Switch

 

[Trait] Wolf

 

[Potential Rating] A+

 

 

 

 

 

I already knew. About this form of intrinsic ability.

 

The last of the three Trait families.

 

The last one, besides "Pure Nature" and "Soul", is the "Switch", which is simply the ability to transform.

 

A character transforms into the form of a specific animal and has superior physical abilities and resistance.

 

I've heard that it has a great growth potential in proportion to its size. A wolf of this size must have unparalleled potential.

 

In addition, the starting grade is A+. The child's condition seems a bit strange, but it is charming in its own way.

 

Let's take a look at the name of this character.

 

 

 

Name: Canal

 

 

 

 

 

Canal ......?

 

The chiseled and elegant man who approached me then?

 

…… Why are you turning into a savory beast and playing a game here?

 

The animal that has been transformed into a Switch-specific ability has a different oral structure, so it can't speak like a human, but of course, it has a sense of reason inside just like the original character.

 

No matter how you think about it, there's no reason for the canal to rush in and overturn us.

 

There's something wrong with the fact that we don't express ourselves when we're murmuring, and we pounce on each other as if we've become beasts.......

 

After a brief standoff, I quickly spoke to Canal.

 

"You're not normal. I don't know what it is, but I'm quick to come to my senses. You don't want to get hurt."

 

He didn't seem to understand it at all. The wolf gasped heavily and let out a low hoarse howl.

 

"I'm going to kill you."

 

Gio raised his head, as if he didn't have any reason to look at it anymore. But I had a different idea.

 

"I've decided."

 

"Let's kill him?"

 

"I'm going to make you a companion."

 

Lirit screamed in the trees, and he could feel Gio horrified. Be that as it may, I stood my ground.

 

Then, the wolf, which had crept low in its crouch, roared again.

 

Then he lunged at me to bite my throat.

 

Canal, that beautiful man was not my concern in the first place.

 

He's the most handsome of all the characters I've ever seen, and he's sure he's going to have a lot of power in the popularity polls, but that's no reason to appease him.

 

However, he has such a strong ability to switch, but he has a big flaw in that he can't control his reason.

 

Normally, a reaction like Gio's would be normal.

 

Even if all the characters had a crush on him, they wouldn't want to partner him with this mad wolf.

 

But that's why I can have a canal, and the canal can be of great benefit to me.

 

You just need to fix the defects and develop the unique abilities to make them even stronger.

 

I like characters that are lacking right now but have great potential.

 

I believe that viewers will gradually turn their attention to us as hard workers rather than talented ones.

 

The wolf pressed its paws against my chest and knocked me down.

 

A loud, hot breath erupted from within me, and creepy teeth clenched into the air in front of my nose.

 

"Calm down!"

 

I lowered my voice as if to soothe an angry dog, and let the flame grow out of my hand.

 

I'm going to give you a more powerful shock with this fire.

 

Gang!

 

Unwittingly, the wolf swooped out, disappearing from sight.

 

Gio kicked the wolf from the side with all his might, knocking it down the ravine.

 

I looked down into the canyon in amazement.

 

I could see the wolf's body shrink as it fell, and with a roaring rumble of the ground, it stopped below, sending dust billowing up.

 

At this point, the wolf's seemingly small body stopped moving.

 

I looked back at Gio with cold eyes.

 

"I could knock him out! If you die!"

 

My voice quickly lost its cool and became feverish.

 

"I know you're trying to tame it, just as you took me out of the woods."

 

A miracle that Gio suddenly looks smart.

 

Gio paused for a moment, his face uncannily calm, then looked back.

 

"Lilit is crying."

 

Lirit was whimpering in the trees.

 

I must have been too scared that I was almost bitten by a wolf.

 

Gio's eyes were distorted as if he was upset at Liritt's crying. I managed to contain my excitement.

 

“…… I'm going to have to go down. Do you want to come down with Lirith?"

 

"Okay."

 

When I finished speaking, I slid down the slope and down the canyon.

 

 

 

* * *

 

 

 

When I came down, I saw that the wolf's enormous body didn't move from where it had fallen, only breathing shallowly.

 

I found the wolf's head and made a circle.

 

"Are you okay?"

 

It didn't look right, but I thought he understood me now, so I asked him a question.

 

Then, in response, the wolf raised its eyelids. His big fist-sized eyes were still red, and there was an unknown madness to it.

 

But he couldn't move.

 

The wolf, whining in pain, suddenly did something strange.

 

He struggled to move his muzzle, forcing himself against my knee as he sat up. whining louder.

 

"Is this part of the crazy thing we saw earlier?"

 

He was too big to cut my knees.......

 

He almost called out the canal's name, but he managed to shut up. Externally, I didn't have to know who this wolf was.

 

It's a wolf that was trying to tear me apart and kill me, but when I see that he's struggling, I have a strange feeling again.

 

Is it compassion? I don't have much compassion for sick animals.

 

He stroked the wolf's hair gently, very gently.

 

Oddly enough, the wolf howled in a low throat as if it was good for me to touch it.

 

"You turn into a human now, can't you? You still don't understand me?"

 

Then the wolf flinched, then slid into a cloud of smoke.

 

I watched without blinking, and before I knew it, a blond man appeared on my lap instead of a wolf.

 

…… Yes?

 

I pushed the canal and got up.

 

I can't stand it when an animal cuts me down. But humans can't stand it.

 

The canal was in terrible shape. His clothes had been torn from place to place, and he seemed to have lost what little consciousness he had left as a wolf.

 

Looking up the canyon, Gio was descending the gently inclined path with Lyrit.

 

I signaled with a hand gesture.

 

'I'm going to go back up, so just come down and carry this man up.'

 

Gio wrote a nappy impression.

 

 

 

* * *

 

 

 

I found an empty cave and laid the canal inside.

 

His clothes were tattered, but he showed no other injuries.

 

Waiting for him to wake up, he told Gio to go out and play.

 

I didn't really want to go out and play, but I told him to find out what people were saying about the big wolf.

 

I'm going to have to do something like this to improve his intelligence.

 

And Gio asked for information sooner than I expected.

 

It was rumored that I had subdued a mad wolf that had bitten three people to death and ravaged the forest.

 

He was inadvertently rumored to be a legendary tamer. I'm not sure if it's dignified.

 

Viewers will be amused.

 

As I sat still, I felt quite cool inside the cave.

 

"Lirith, can you warm me up with your warmth?"

 

Lirit was glad she could do something, and she held out her hands for warmth.

 

Soon, the inside was just right.

 

In fact, if I were to breathe out a spark, it would be as hot as this, but I need to let Lirit do something.

 

Even if it's just to hide my unique abilities from the viewer as much as possible.

 

The first round is just a trailer for the next round, and I know it's real from the second round guild battle.

 

That's why I haven't even trained my own abilities yet.

 

I've got to save something for the next round.

 

The canal remained motionless, as if it had fallen asleep. Even though he was in a state of stupor, his features were as smooth as statues.

 

Lirith's warmth swirled like a warm wind, and the man's blonde hair and eyelashes fluttered in the air.

 

Beneath it, a thin neckline and delicate chest muscles were clearly visible through the torn clothes.

 

‘…… If you were to vote for appearances, wouldn't this be the number one male character?'

 

Suddenly, there was a loud cry from outside the cave.

 

"Here you are! Here's the captain!"
