Chapter 2: Fenrir – One of the Divine Beast
...

《Danger! A monster, FENRIR (Divine Beast), with an SSS-class rank is pass approaching. The two guards will easily be killed. To defeat the Fenrir, you need at least someone with a hero title and 20 S-class rank adventurers combined.》

X—

Izuku grabbed the bewildered Uraraka by the wrist and dragged her towards the mansion’s direction.

“Izumi-sama? What happened?” Uraraka asked worriedly as she match the pace of Izuku’s run.

“A monster is approaching! We have to inform Mom!” Izuku hurriedly responded.

“Wha—? How did you find out?” Uraraka asked in fear. Uraraka and Izumi had been friends since birth so she didn’t doubt what the greenette said.

Izuku pondered for a bit. He couldn’t just tell her that some being called Nanomachine told him. He’ll be look down like he was crazy!

“I saw it.” Well a fat lie can’t be help once in a while in an emergency.

“What kind of monster was it?” Uraraka panted as her stamina slowly drained at the fast pace.

What was the name again?

《Answer: The Fenrir, one of the Divine Beast.》

“It was a Fenrir.” Izuku calmly said as he slowed his pace for his friend’s sake.

Uraraka’s face drained of blood. “C-come again? I think I just heard something ridiculous.” She laughed nervously as she sweated bullets.

“I said, a Fenrir.” Izuku said once again as he raises an eyebrow when Uraraka started acting weirdly.

“Y-YOU MEAN, THE FENRIR?” Uraraka snapped out with a pale face. Her hand in Izuku’s grasp trembled in fear.

Was Fenrir a dangerous monster?

《Answer: Yes, the Fenrir is one of the Divine Beast that has 40% magic capacity. The only one who can defeat them are heroes or possibly several S-class rank adventurers.》

Please tell me that beforehand, Nano-chan!

《I did warn Izumi about an SSS-class rank monster approaching.》

That’s right. He forgot.

As he converse with Nanomachine, the two girls arrived at the mansion. Izuku was amazed that he didn’t tire out after running that marathon but he also pitied Uraraka who was inhaling large breaths.

“What’s wrong, Ojou-sama?” One of the gardeners asked Izuku as he saw them rush in, in panic.

“I sighted a monster approaching. Please tell mother to inform the Guild for help.” Izuku frantically explained the situation.

“T-the -hah- Fen -hah- Fenrir..” Uraraka gasped out as she catch her breath.

“Fen—?” the old man Gardener’s eyes widen in disbelief.

“My Lady, calm down.” A Lady with a butler attire approach them. Based on the female’s aura, she was one of the people guarding the two. “I didn’t saw the Fenrir. Izumi-ojousama must’ve been mistaken. I were with the two of you ever since.” She added afterwards.

Izuku wanted to clicked his tongue in annoyance. This woman was doubting him and because of her, they would be in trouble.

“How could you say that? I really saw it! Are you telling me that I’m lying?” I’m sorry for being a bitchy Ojou-sama! But this is an emergency.

“What is the commotion all about?” Inko Midoriya appeared after all the noise.

“Viscountess Midoriya! That is..” she reluctantly said as she glance in Izuku’s direction. “Izumi-ojousama informed that, she saw the Fenrir coming towards the village.”

Inko’s eyes widen “The Fenrir, you say?” she narrowed her eyes and glared fiercely in Izuku’s direction. “Izumi. What does it look like?” her voice firmly demand for the information.

Nano-chan!

《Yes. The Fenrir is a giant wolf with a shining silver fur. It has a diamond shape-like gem in it’s forehead.》

“A glowing big wolf with a diamond gem in it’s forehead.” Izuku answered without hesitation.

“I see..” Inko said as her eyes darken grimly. “Sebastian. Inform Hisashi that the Fenrir is coming.”  She commanded as a monocle gray-haired old man in a butler attire who appeared out of thin air making Izuku jump to a start.

“Yes, M’Lady.” The Sebastian guy muttered then disappeared once again.

“Izumi, Ochako-chan. I want you two to ride the carriage to the Viscount Uraraka Household. Hurry up. Reina, protect the two of them at all cost.” She demanded and turn her back to the mansion. Reina, Uraraka’s guard bowed down in understanding.

“What about you, Mom?” Izuku asked in his squeaky voice.

“Even though I’m a retired adventurer, I’m still the strongest one out here so I’ll be bringing the Divine Beast down with me if that is even possible.” She confidently said as she strides elegantly inside the mansion. Her lemon green dress swish as she walk with a thump.

Wow. His mother sounds so cool. He shook his head. This isn’t the time to be awed by such things.

“Be careful!” Izuku said as he was dragged away by the arm. He saw his mother smiled gently in his direction as he was dragged inside the carriage. His heart constricted in pain as he felt his eyes burn.

Is this okay?

《Answer: It doesn’t. Inko Midoriya and Hisashi Midoriya are both S-class adventurers but two S-class can’t defeat a Divine Beast. They would be utterly defeated.》

Then how could I help?

《Answer: There are  two ways. First is to defeat the Fenrir and the other is..》

Izuku’s eyes widen at what the nanomachine suggested.

...

Inko Midoriya is already accomplished at the age of 18. She became an S-class rank wizard at the young age of 21. She married her love of her life Hisashi at the age of 23 and had their daughter at the age of 24.

She had never ever wanted anything else. She wanted the three of them to live in peace. But alas, her husband, Viscount Hisashi Midoriya, is also the Guild Master of the Adventurer’s Guild in their Territory, so he doesn’t have all the time to accompany his family. But still, she is satisfied in this life she currently have.

So why now? Why does a calamity class Beast and a Divine Beast at that has appeared in this Domain? Why does this beast roaming around in this particular Territory?

She gritted her teeth as she tightly wrapped her robe in her waist. It’s been a while since she fought. She doesn’t have the confidence in defeating a Divine Beast that even the number one hero couldn’t defeat, but she at least had to try. For the sake of their daughter and the people of their Territory.

Her eyes glinted in determination. But if she couldn’t protect their Domain. At least let her protect her beloved daughter.

...

She walked in the front line of the hurriedly assembled adventurers. Most of them are newcomers. There are at least 12 A-class rank adventurers. With this hastily made troops, they will be led to their dooms but they still had to try.

“Are you ready, dear?” She asked Hisashi who was leading in the front.

“Ready than ever, I guess.” He gave a weak smile towards his wife. His disheveled dark hair swayed with the wind and freckled cheeks curved when he smiled. It made Inko smiled back gently.

The warning bell, which indicates if a monster with high hostility entered the barrier, rang in the background.

Hisashi inhaled sharply. “Ready your weapons!” he commanded in a loud voice as he unsheathe his sword.

The loud roar of the Fenrir reverberated in the domain. Each adventurers face paled at what they heard. The loud thumping of the ground shake as the beast runs towards the troops direction. The forest shook while the animals runs away for the sake of their lives.

Inko felt her hair stood up as a chill run down her spine.

The glorious Divine beast stood in front of them baring it’s fangs.

[Humans, How dare you block my way!] The husky voice of a male growled at them. The golden irises of the Fenrir shone as he glared dangerously.

“Oh Fenrir-sama, if possible, we would like you to please, leave our village alone.” Hisashi tried communicating when the Fenrir conversed.

[How dare you order the great Fenrir around? Who do you think you are?] The Fenrir roared. Just the roar of the beast made them all stood their ground. Some adventurers fall down on their asses while the others even pissed their pants.

“I apologize for my insolence but I’m asking you to please, leave this place alone. We don’t have any ill will to fight the great Fenrir-sama.” Hisashi apologizes as he knelt down on the ground. He throw away his weapon as a precaution if the Fenrir doubted him.

Inko followed suit and laid her staff away. The other adventurers also kneeled down.

The Fenrir harrumphed as he glance around [I am here because of a being with great power. SHOW HIM TO ME!] He ordered.

“I apologize but I have no idea of what you are talking about.” Hisashi responded without raising his head.

The Fenrir growled in irritation then he started sniffing again. [By the pace of this distance, someone is carrying him. A horse by any chance. So he is getting away.] he growled lowly.

Hisashi and Inko’s face scrunch up in pain as a mass of magic power poured out. The other adventurers who couldn’t take it falls down unconscious.

Then the Fenrir halted as he raised his snout in the air.

Inko blink. Twice. What happened? Why did he suddenly became quiet? She took a peek at the Fenrir. He was eagerly glaring in the direction of the Viscount Uraraka’s household.

[So he returned.] The Fenrir muttered. She saw how the corner of the beast’s mouth lifted in glee. What kind of monster is this Divine beast looking for?

“MOTHER!” Izumi’s voice screamed in that direction making Inko’s eyes widen. Her stomach fell the moment she heard her beloved daughter’s cute voice. She raised up her head anxiously. Eye’s wide in fear. She saw her daughter run in her direction as she waved her hand without a care in the world.

“Izumi.. why did you return?” her voice trembled as she whispered. How can her daughter be so stupid?

[What a surprise. It’s a female human and just a kid at that.] The Fenrir said making Inko’s eyes widen some more.

Please don’t tell her that what the Fenrir is looking for is her beloved daughter.

[Greetings, human with a great amount of power. I am the Fenrir. The Sacred wolf of the Divine Beast.] The Fenrir grinned as he bared his fangs dangerously.

Izumi stopped in his tracks and stared at the Divine Beast with a blank face.

Inko anxiously gripped the soil. If the beast will attack then she would leap in front of the monster to intercept it and make some time for Izumi to escape.

“Beautiful.” She heard her daughter mutter silently. Inko stared at her daughter in surprise. Her daughter’s eyes even sparkled at the sight of the Divine Beast. There were no fear nor terror in her eyes.

[You have good eyes, human.] The Fenrir chuckled dangerously. [But I am not here for mere greetings nor compliments. I am here to issue a challenge to the great being. I’m sure that I’m not the only one who is anxious of your arrival. No matter even if you are just a mere human, with this amount of power, you can rival even the God.] The Fenrir said as he crouched down while getting ready to attacked.

Inko couldn’t understand what the Fenrir is talking about but she knew that he is planning on attacking her daughter. In the corner of her eyes, she saw his husband, Hisashi raised his right leg. He must also been thinking the same thing as what she was thinking.

Hisashi raised his head and gave a nod as a signal in Inko’s direction. Even at the cost of their lives. They would definitely save their daughter.

...

《Warning! Izumi can’t defeat the Fenrir, one on one. Escape at once!》

Izuku knew that he had no chance. How the hell would he go and defeat something like that? Just look at it.

This guy is even more of a cheat than him! Isn’t this guy almost MAX level?

You have got to be kidding me!

《Warning! Izumi can’t defeat the Fenrir, one on one. Escape at once!》

‘I understand, Nano-chan! Stop repeating yourself!’ he mentally shouted.

Seeing the skill Telepathy in the Fenrir’s status. He quickly shut his eyes tight as he squeezed his brain to learn the mentioned skill.

Inhaling a deep breath as he felt the mana drifting through his veins.

Ping-!

[You have learned the skill TELEPATHY Lv.1]

Grinning triumphantly, he immediately shouted ‘Telepathy!’ in his head without hesitation.

[You activated TELEPATHY Lv.1]

“Um, Fenrir-san? Can you hear me?” he tested out.

[I can hear you clearly, human!] The voice of the Fenrir made Izuku shiver in fear. While using telepathy, the sound felt more like inside his head than hearing it through his ears.

“How about we compromise? I just woke up, you know? So I’m kind of considerably weak. Why don’t you wait for a bit until I grow up? Then I’ll fight you fair and square.”

[I have no patience to wait any longer human! You are making me angry!]

“But I’ll definitely lose to you, you know. Isn’t that kind of boring to you?”

[I don’t care!] He growled making Izuku tremble in fear. Ah, it’s been a while since he got scared again. This world seems to like playing around with him.

“You leave me with no other choice.” Izuku sighed in telepathy as he closed his eyes.

A skill he tried learning with Nano-chan earlier.

‘Familiar Contract!’

[You activated the Skill FAMILIAR CONTRACT Lv.1]

One of Nano-chan’s suggestion was, if he can’t defeat the Fenrir in a battle, then subduing him is another way to defeat him.

A chain appeared in Izuku’s left hand. The end of the chain was in a blur as it floated above Izuku’s head.

[YOU DARE TO BRING OUT A SLAVERY CONTRACT IN FRONT OF ME, YOU FILTHY HUMAN!] The Fenrir roared out angrily. The backslash made the adventurers run with their tail between their legs while the others blew away by the impact. Izuku’s parents panicked when the Beast went out of control.

“You’re the one who started this!”

Izuku hold the end of the chain with his right hand and started swinging it back and forth. He slightly bend down his knee when the Fenrir tried to leap in his direction. He was able to evade the fangs that were wide as it tried to bit him off (more like swallowed him whole) and swung the chain in the Fenrir’s direction as he crash down on the ground.

He raised his head and look at the Fenrir’s direction. The chain’s end wrapped in the Fenrir’s neck.

[What is this? I can’t take it off!] The Fenrir growled as he tried biting off the chain but to no avail. Instead, the chain constricted at his actions making him wince in pain. [This Slavery contract chain is constricting?] He growled in surprised. This is the first time the Fenrir encountered a slavery contract like this. Is this possibly because this human is that of a great being?

There are times in which brave humans tried to make a contract with a Divine Beast but to their unfortunate dooms that just made Divine Beasts destroy their habitat and killed most of them in anger.

This is the first time the Fenrir was left utterly useless. This is the power of the being that could even rival the God.

‘Um, Fenrir-sama. How about you listen to my proposal now?’ Izuku asked in telepathy.

[Why would someone who subdued a Divine Beast asked such a thing? Right now you have the advantage of making me your slave.]

‘Please don’t say a slave! Humans or not, any creature has the right to have their freedom.’ Izuku’s firmed voice argued making the Fenrir eyes widen a little bit.

This human isn’t only powerful but they are also humble. The Fenrir chuckled. From his perspective, humans are selfish and wicked. They are beings who desire every little things but this little one doesn’t want him.

[Fine. From now on you are my master. Please, give me a new name to establish our connection.] The Fenrir acknowledge him as he bowed down. His snout reach the ground as he closed his eyes.

‘Wait a second! I told you that I don’t want to—’

[I’m giving you permission. As long as I am alive, I would serve my master at the cost of my life.]

‘I’m NOT a Dog person anyway so please let’s just compromise what I asked earlier.’

[Huh!?] The Fenrir growled in anger making Izuku twitch. [How dare you say such things but oh well, you are now my master. Please give me a name.]

‘But—’

[I’m not arguing anymore.]

‘Aren’t you unfair? I don’t want to make a contract.’

[I am NOT backing down either.]

Kuh. What a stubborn dog. Izuku doesn’t want to stand out. Making a contract with a Beast that could rival even a hero would make him a monster. But if he won’t do anything then his intuition is telling him that this Beast would follow him even at the ends of hell.

《We suggest that Izumi accept the Fenrir’s proposal.》

He can’t do that. He isn’t a Dog person anyway. And this Fenrir isn’t cute at all.

《The Fenrir can give Izumi the protection of even the world’s greatest hero.》

He doesn’t want to be followed by such a huge dog which for starters, that glows brightly even in broad daylight!

《The Fenrir is a Divine Beast which master the magic of the darkness. If ask to, he can hide inside his master’s shadow.》

Don’t you think that Nano-chan has all the answers to his every question?

《We do not think so.》

[I’m NOT leaving until you give me a name.] The Fenrir stated when Izuku stopped talking to him.

‘Fine. You win.’ Izuku sighed in defeat. ‘But I have conditions!’

[Anything for my master.]

‘First don’t attack anyone unless I say so.’

[I understand as long as my master’s safety is guarded thoroughly.]

‘Second. Don’t go and follow me around in broad daylight!’

[I will honor myself to hide in your shadow.]

‘Third. Don’t intimidate or threaten anyone.’

[I will try my best.]

Oi.. oi.. what kind of reply is that.

‘Well, I guess that’s all of it. Then, let’s get along—

“Silver.” The moment the name left Izuku’s lips. A great amount of mana surrounded the both of them.

A colorless magic circle appeared below their feet as the chain slowly disappeared.

Ping-!

[You have successfully named the Fenrir as SILVER]

[You have made a contract with SILVER.]

[I am honored to be in your care, Master.]

Ah. This must be the start of Izuku’s— or should ‘SHE’ say, Izumi’s chaotic life.

《Familiar ‘Fenrir’ GET!》

That doesn’t make him even feel better!
