Chapter 31.5

“You should not fear or dread going berserk. That is when Beast People are at their strongest.” Pat. Cale’s hand patted the two kitten’s heads. “Although the Cat Tribe and Wolf Tribe are different, the two of you are Beast People as well. Watch him to learn the style of a wild animal, the style of relying on your instincts. And then-” The two pairs of golden pupils made eye contact with Cale. “Make it your own. Either that, or think of a way to kill those bears, tigers, wolves, the ones labeled as wild beasts.” The kittens, the Cat Tribe children, immediately turned away from Cale to observe Lock. The kittens stood up on their hind legs and observed Lock’s every move. Silver and red, the two kitten’s furs stood up as they became extremely nervous. Cats were weak compared to these wild beasts. It was because they were a tribe that relied on stealth that they clearly understood Cale’s intent. Cale watched the kittens for a while, before calling out to the dragon. “Hey.” The Black Dragon revealed itself in the air. Rosalyn and Choi Han did not have time to look toward them. They had to put their full attention on Lock. Cale pointed to the two people as he continued to speak to the dragon. “Look at how Rosalyn uses her magic to not hurt the opponent. Also look at how Choi Han is using his aura not to attack, but to protect himself while not harming that wolf child.” Tang, tang, tang! Lock’s extremely quick fists were trying to break through Rosalyn’s shield. Rosalyn desperately called out to Lock while watching him attack. “Lock, you remember me right? I said you were part of my family now. Hurry up and snap out of it!” Choi Han turned Lock’s gaze over to him. He raised his murderous aura to the maximum to get Lock’s attention. “Lock, attack me. I am the one who will protect you.” Lock responded to the murderous aura by swinging his claw toward Choi Han. Even though Lock’s attack did not have any aura in it, his full physical strength was behind that attack. Cale was watching that scene from far away while continuing to speak to the dragon. “It is harder to not hurt something than it is to hurt something when you have immense strength. But I know you will be able to quickly pick it up, since you are a dragon.” The dragon responded to Cale. “I am a dragon. There is nothing I cannot do.” “Correct. So watch them and make your own judgment.” The dragon flew down and landed next to the kittens before turning invisible once again. Cale presumed the dragon would take in Rosalyn, Choi Han, and Lock’s movements like the kittens were doing. ‘Should I have brought some wine with me?’ Cale lamented the fact that he had no wine, as he continued to watch this boring battle. Two hours. For the duration of a typical movie, these three animal children kept their eyes on the battle, while Choi Han and Rosalyn started to get exhausted. “.. Huff, huff, huff.” But the one who was the most exhausted was the werewolf. “Huff, huff. Hyung-.” “Lock!” Choi Han reacted to the word, ‘hyung,’ and rushed toward the staggering werewolf. Although he was not completely out of the berserk mode, Choi Han’s reaction made Cale stand up. “Noo, noona-.” Lock was able to recognize Rosalyn as well. “Ah, Lock!” Rosalyn rushed over as well to hug Lock. Lock was still covered in the dark blue fur, but his eyes were starting to become focused. Lock was not hurt at all, while Rosalyn and Choi Han had small injuries on their bodies. The two of them protected Lock like he was family. “So, huff huff, sorry.” His rationality had returned. It was a perfect first berserk mode transformation, where he was able to overcome all issues. Lock put his head on Rosalyn, who was half his height, and then this 13 year-old boy started to cry. An animalistic noise was mixed in with his crying. “Lock!” Lock then slowly turned back into his human form, before starting to fall. The berserk mode transformation was over. Choi Han quickly approached him and prevented him from falling over. Lock was doing his best to not faint, as he was worried that he would return to his berserk state. At that moment, a man carrying two kittens arrived in front of this boy who was trying his best to keep his eyes open. ‘Uncle.’ It was the man who said the same thing as his uncle. The man started to speak. “You can rest now.” The man smiled, and made Lock close his eyes like before. “It is all over now.” Lock finally relaxed and closed his eyes after hearing the man’s words. Lock leaned on Choi Han and fainted. Choi Han carefully laid Lock back down on the stretcher. Cale, who had been watching this, took a potion out of the bag and threw it toward Rosalyn. Rosalyn caught the potion bottle and asked. “Potions don’t work on Lock?” Cale looked at Rosalyn in a way that seemed to be asking why she was saying something that was so obvious, and answered the still confused Rosalyn. “Why would I give a potion to someone from the Wolf Tribe? It’s for you. You struggled quite a bit.” Rosalyn stared at Cale. She had seen an amazing sight of a three-layered magic, and had many things she wanted to ask Cale. However, she said something else. “Thank you very much.” This had to come first. “No need for thanks.” Cale casually responded and turned away. He could see Choi Han who was already looking at him. “Choi Han.” Just how did this happen? He needed to figure out what happened. “We need to talk.”
