Yale was thinking about that when the system prompt appeared.

A beast voluntarily formed a life-bound contract to the user. The Origin Qi in users body provoked a breakthrough in the beasts body.

Yale looked at the little wolf with a strange face.

A Magus could use special techniques to enslave beasts to work for him. Given the usually weak body of any Magus, having a beast to win time while casting spells was very useful.

However, Yale didnt plan to do that as he didnt have a method to do it nor did he want to do it.

Yale didnt want to part with the little wolf, but he thought that the little wolfs life would be better in its natural habitat rather than going with him as a slave.

Originally, Yale wanted to give freedom to the little wolf as he already was responsible for its parents death, at least the system considered Yale, the killer of both.

And taking it to the outside without a contract would provoke a calamity to the little wolf as the exit had restrictive spells to avoid any beast from leaving the Beast Trial.

What Yale didnt expect was for the little wolf itself to create a life-bound contract with him, that type of contract could seem similar to the normal one, but its nature was completely different.

A human could break the slave contract with a beast and then free the beast, but a life-bound contract created by a beast was impossible to be broken by the human nor by the beast.

There was no way to break the contract if the human died the contract would also kill the beast, so it was impossible to form a second life bound contract afterward.

However, if a beast did that kind of contract it wasnt because it wanted to become enslaved, a beast could only do this kind of contract if a human who considered its closest family, for the beast that was a way of becoming a true family with a human.

Yale knew about the reasons behind the life-bound contract, and that moved Yale.

He also knew that a beast could only form that kind of contract with someone of a higher level and he had suspicions that the little wolf had held back its breakthrough until Yale reached the 1-star real so it could make the contract.

The little wolf approached Yale and rubbed its head on his legs; then Yale seemed to hear a cute voice.

Iwant to stay withbig bro

That was the first time that Yale understood the little wolf, the words were vague as the little wolf was still too small, but their meaning was clear.

The little wolf only wanted to stay with Yale, its only family. It didnt care about freedom or complicated things; the little wolf didnt want to live alone.

After Yale saw the little wolf eating the Fire Wolf, he had considered that beasts were only beasts and that he had thought too much about the little wolf familys situation before, doubting about his first impression.

However, at that moment he understood that he had no reason to doubt, his first impression wasnt wrong, the little wolfs desire to be with him wasnt different from a human one.

Dont worry, you are my little sister, and I wont abandon you.

After hearing the little wolf, Yale became incapable of treating her like a beast and came to see her as his little sister; he didnt care that she was a wolf, to Yale she was more family than any of his half-brothers in the Roanmad Clan.

Actually, besides the little wolf, Yale only considered his sister and his master as a family, the rest of the people in the clan were at most neighbors to him. As for his father, he didnt speak with him in years he was a complete stranger to Yale.

Right, you are still without a name. Then I will name you on behalf of your mother.

Yale thought for a while until he decided a name.

Your name will be Wyba!

The little wolf seemed happy after obtaining her name, and Yale smiled.

Yale continued to pat Wybas head as he finally went to the Quest Menu to check the new sub-quest.

Upgrade [Tri-sword] and [Spark] equally until level 5. Reward: Combined Skill [Tri-sparkling Sword]

This sub-quest wanted Yale to train both skills equally; when he leveled up one to level two, the other should also be upgraded to level two before the first one went to level three and should remain this way until both were level five, otherwise, the sub-quest would fail.

Yale didnt feel that the new sub-quest was problematic, as long as he didnt use the skill it wouldnt level up, and the reward was a combination of the two skills which was very good.

Since Yale had turned ten years old he should leave the Beast Trial quickly; he already was on the outskirts of the Beast Trial near the exit.

Yale carried Wyba in his arms, and after a whole year, he left the Beast Trial.

As Wyba had a contract with Yale, the restrictive spell didnt activate, and thus, she left without problems.

***

Yale became taller in the year he spent inside the Beast Trial, and he was clothed in beast furs as his original clothes became almost destroyed when he battled against the Fire-wood Tiger.

Swordmad who was waiting for him outside became shocked at Yales appearance, but it wasnt because he was taller or because he had those fur clothes, it was because Yale was holding Wyba in his arms.

Yale had only just turned ten years, so there were only two ways for him to make a contract with a beast inside the Beast Trial.

The first was that he had good luck and he had used a slave contract in a weak beast near him just after reaching the 1-star.

The other was that Yale managed to gain the full trust of the beast and the beast formed a life-bound contract on its own.

And both ways required that Yale had already become a 1-star mortal, which means reaching the 1-star just after turning ten.

However, Swordmad knew that Yale had training methods bestowed by the Nacesai Academy, so that fact wasnt surprising to him.

Swordmad was conflicted as he thought about the two possibilities, both seemed difficult, although he knew that one had to be correct.

Yale saw his master and bowed towards him.

Master, she is Wyba I adopted her as my little sister.

Yale went directly to present Wyba towards his master; he wanted to avoid any misunderstanding. Wyba was Yales little sister and not Yales slave; Yale didnt want his master to have the wrong idea.

Swordmad eyes almost pop out when he heard Yale. Swordmad knew that Yale always had lacked family love, but he didnt expect that his disciple would adopt a little wolf as a younger sister.

Thats great; you get a cute little sister.

However, Swordmad was also an eccentric, so he was happy to see that Yale was unconventional and didnt get restricted by what the people thought as normal.

Furthermore, after seeing Yale and Wyba, Swordmad was sure that they had formed a life-bound contract and not a slave one. It was extremely difficult to have a life-bound contract with a beast, so Swordmad felt proud of his disciple.

However, Swordmad also had something to tell to Yale.

Originally, you should have your talents tested today, but

Swordmad didnt know how to tell Yale; he feared that he would rage after hearing it.

Your father said that you at most you can only have waste talents and testing them wasnt worthy of spending any resources from the clan because you already had the qualifications to join the Nacesai Academy beforehand and that they could probably revoke your qualifications after they saw how your talents are waste

I think that your father is retarded.

After his words, Swordmad carefully observed Yale reaction. Swordmads last words were only a whisper that Yale shouldnt have heard.

However, after obtaining the Frost Wolf bloodline, Yales hearing improved a lot, and he heard Swordmad last words.

Then, there is no need to test anything, and I dont consider that man my father anyway, I dont care about what he thought about me. The only paternal figure I had in my life is you, master.

Swordmad was surprised by the calmed reaction of Yale and became happy to see that Yale had matured more in the Beast Trial. Swordmad also liked Yale as if he was his son, he never had descendants, but he had that feeling towards all of his disciples.

On the other hand, Yale was rather happy about not having to test his Innate Talents in the clan.

Because he had too many and with the system, they could change easily, if his talents became too well known and he increased them later the situation would look too strange and would give too much trouble and Yale preferred to avoid that.

If Yale wanted, Swordmad would be able to force the clan to test him, but that would make Yales relation with his biological father even worse. As Yale himself didnt mind Swordmad wouldnt force anything even if he were curious about his disciples talents.

Swordmad never believed that Yale had bad talent as he trained Yale with the sword and saw his potential. Swordmad was sure that Yale had at least an amazing Innate Talent with the sword.

If theres no testing, then I will go to the Nacesai Academy right away.

Yale already had the qualifications to enter, so he didnt need to go through any test or official recruiting ceremonies, he can directly enter after he turned ten whenever he wanted.

Yale didnt have anything more to do inside the clan, and as he had very limited time, so he chose to leave immediately.
