Chapter 289 - Friend or Foe (2/2)
”Maybe the wolf lost its way and is in the shadow place?” Norah added.
”Even if that's the case, beasts do not like humans, whether they're infected or not, when the wolf is done killing the monkey's then it could go for us next,” Kaito said.
Seeing the wolf defeat the monkey's in single swipes and using its incredible speed, the student felt like they had a better chance when they were only facing the monkeys. Even if they ran now, there was no chance they could outrun the beast, it was just too fast.
Finally, the wolf had defeated the last monkey and now the students were worried. Springett who was behind the wolf no longer was in her breakthrough mode.
She had already been in her form for about half an hour and couldn't keep it up any longer. She too had felt the same way as the students after seeing the wolf battle. At first, joy was felt when the wolf had first come and defeated the monkeys, but now, they realised that something far more dangerous had appeared.
The wolf then looked at the students and noticed the uniform they were wearing. It bent down its head and looked at Max in the eye for a few moments.
The other students stepped back but for some reason Max stayed still looking at the wolf, thinking he could have sworn he had seen it before.
”Max are you crazy, get away from it!” Kaito shouted.
But Max ignored Kaito's words and walked up to the beast. Everyone watching suddenly didn't see Max as the class clown or idiot but a brave student at this point and time.
”Guy's, I don't think it's going to hurt us,” Max said as he held out his hand and started to stroke the fur on Noir's face.
”Are you?” Max asked still slightly nervous.
Noir then let out a little bark.
”Woof”
”Can you understand me?” Max asked.
”Woof!”
The student's stood there stunned, and so did the professor. She didn't have a clue what was going on. She had heard of beast tamers before, but at most they controlled basic tier beasts, nothing like this.
Noir then stood up from the ground, and bent down her head, very carefully using her teeth, she lifted Max by the back of his shirt and threw him into the air.
”Ahhh!” Max shouted, ”Why did I trust a stupid wolf!”
But then when Max had landed, he realised he had safely landed on the wolf's back.
”Oh, I see now,” Max said, ”You want us to get on top of you don't you?”
”Woof!”
Noir then laid on the ground once again, waiting for the others to climb aboard.
”Hey what are you all waiting for, come on let's go!” Max shouted.
