After a few seconds of silence, Rosalyn seemed shocked, while Choi Han just quietly waited for Cale's continuing words.
"Normally, when beast people with wild beast blood like the Wolf Tribe, Tiger Tribe, and Bear Tribe experience going berserk for the first time, their parents and siblings help take care of it. They take all the attacks of the berserk individual and protect them to make sure they don't get hurt. That is how they protect their children."
Choi Han and Rosalyn's expressions turned sour almost instantly. Lock did not have any parents or siblings now. Cale peeked over at Lock, before continuing to speak.
"I can tell that is not an option for this child."
Clap.
Cale clapped once, before pointing at Choi Han and Rosalyn.
"That is why we will pretend that you are the mother and father, or, if you do not like that scenario, then you shall be the older brother and older sister. You two will need to figure out how to protect him."
Cale had his 'Indestructible Shield,' but he did not want to take care of Lock's berserk state. Why should he step in when he has people that he could use?
Rosalyn and Choi Han looked at each other.
"He will tire out on his own, and the berserk state will slowly disappear. It is important that his consciousness returns during this first berserk transformation. That is the only way to make him retain his consciousness and rationality the next time he transforms into the berserk mode."
That would be when his rationality beats out his natural instinct. It was important for beast people to reach that state.
Choi Han debated it for a moment, before asking Cale a question.
"Cale-nim, how long will he maintain his berserk mode?"
"He has the purest of pure blood."
"...So you mean it will take a long time."
"Yes. Probably about two hours?"
Cale approached Lock's bed, and patted Choi Han's shoulder.
"It will be difficult for other people, but Choi Han, it should be easy for you."
"I will succeed. I am Lock's hyung."
Rosalyn looked toward Choi Han with an odd expression. Choi Han had manically killed the assassins to protect the living. During their journey, he was always alert and observing his surroundings. However, such a person seemed extremely relaxed, even though this was a very urgent situation.
She then heard Cale's relaxed voice while she was still watching Choi Han.
"Yes, yes you are. Let's eat something delicious after it is done."
Cale was thinking about the food and wine he did not get to finish.
The door opened at that moment, and Hans entered with Ron and something to carry Lock.
"Young master, the arena has been cleared."
"That was fast."
Cale ordered Choi Han to move the now continuously growling Lock onto the stretcher, before saying the following.
"Let's go."
Cale put some stuff into a magic bag and headed to the arena. The residence's underground arena. Count Henituse's territory was famous for its wealth, but that wealth was supported by military strength. How would they be able to survive next to the Forest of Darkness and the dangerous monsters contained within it without a strong military strength?
