My World Traveling System: The Harbinger of Death

Chapter 67: Do You Have A Talent For Beast Taming?

-----

Erika, the playful werewolf girl had infiltrated the classroom while everyone was on a break and had grabbed a seat for herself, moving it near Frank.

Her eyes seemed almost enamored by Frank… as if something within him could not let her diver her gaze. Although she still kept her teasing smug.

"I really don't get that girl, why does she drink her blood at the bathroom?" said Erika with a smug, as she stole one of Frank's Onigiri (rice balls).

"Unlike you, Harumi is mindful of what she is," said Matsuo.

"Eh? Mindful? She's just shy, not like any of these cattle would even hear us with our stealth accessories! Right, big guy? Or that one, or that one! Look, they do not even notice us! Fufu," laughed Erika with a sinister grin.

"Cattle?" asked Frank.

"All of them are cattle. Anyone without powers that is. They're what moves this 'society', but at the end of the day, they think they're doing something great, but are ultimately just cattle of the big bosses, and those that strive down the path end up as our dinner," laughed Erika.

"Guh…! (Does she really had to be this direct about eating human flesh?) Erika-san, I would appreciate it if you didn't talk about your eating habits while I have lunch…" said Frank.

"Ah? Well, okay, I guess your stomach is not strong enough! But yeah, do you see this burger here?" said Erika, showing it to Frank.

"…Ah… D-Don't tell me…" muttered Frank.

"Indeed… it is…" muttered Erika.

"(No way, she's really cray-cray…)" thought Frank.

"It's cow meat! Haha! You fell for it! Look at your face! Lol!" laughed Erika.

"…Sigh. Don't say such twisted jokes, I am not an actual werewolf to find them funny…" said Frank.

"Hah! Why don't you become one? Just like Vampires, only a little bite… near this tender, tender neck is all it needs to become one with the pack~" said Erika, as she approached Frank at an incredible speed while caressing his tender neck, she slowly cleansed her lips with her tongue as she glanced at him with the eyes of a predator.

"I love innocent little boys like you… Fufu," she laughed.

"Enough! Get off Frank!" roared Matsuo, standing up as he confronted Erika's teasing.

"Sheesh! It was just teasing, Matsu-chan!" said Erika.

"Go away! If you dare touch him any longer, you will be breaking our treaty, and I will bring you down!" said Matsuo, his eyes flashing with a powerful magical aura.

"Hoh? I want to see you try that, monk," said Erika, her eyes flashing with bloodthirst.

Frank began to sweat intensively as he glanced at Matsuo and Erika's auras clash against each other. Matsuo's aura was iridescent golden light, while Erika's aura was completely dark with red glows here and there.

Frank felt overwhelmed, he didn't know what to do… the power of his friend and Erika was way beyond his own… However, he simply couldn't standstill.

"(If they begin fighting in the middle of the school, things would escalate too much…)" thought Frank, as he suddenly activated his Body Aura, Bronze Skin, Gust, and Mana Aura while constantly infusing his Mana into each Skill.

Flash!

A small glow emerged from the confrontation of the two behemoths, as they suddenly woke up from their rage.

"Please, you two, calm down. There is no need to fight at all, the peace treaty was made for a reason, right? Think about what the Great Ancestor will think about you if you do something foolish, Matsuo! And think about your father a bit, Erika!" said Frank, who had known from Matsuo's infodump that Erika's father was Beowulf, the Werewolf Clan Leader.

Matsuo and Erika's gazes suddenly averted as they glared at Frank.

Matsuo calmed down a bit, while Erika sighed as she absorbed the bloodthirsty aura she was releasing.

"(These two are really beasts…)" thought Frank.

"Fine, but just because it's you, Frank-kun…" said Erika with a serious gaze, quite unbefitting of her.

"You're right, I lost my control…" muttered Matsuo, going back to his seat.

"Anyways, why don't we talk about other things instead? Hm, how about your grades, Erika? I've always wondered how smart can Werewolves be…" said Frank while rubbing his chin.

"Eh? We are not stupid if you thought that! Actually… No, my grades are terrible…" muttered Erika while moving her head down like a puppy.

"And how did you pass the year?" asked Frank.

"Pass? I've repeated it for like three times!" said Erika, as if it was something to be proud of.

"Bwahaha! Only you would be proud of something like that!" said Matsuo.

"Grrr!" roared Erika.

"Okay, okay, easy there… Err, well, how about this? You can stop being so teasing with me, and I can help you out with your studies, let us make this year your last one in your current class," said Frank, trying to forge a friendship with Erika.

"…Eh? R-Really? That's… (Isn't that more like an invitation for a date?! Frank-kun, you're way better than I imagined, fufu~!)" muttered Erika as she released a flush, despite her thoughts being quite different.

"A-Ah, was I too rash? Sorry if it annoys you," apologized Frank.

"Oh! N-Not at all! Actually, why not? Sure! Maybe I can show this monk that I am more than an idiot dog!" said Erika.

"Well said, good girl!" said Frank, petting Erika's head as she released her fluffy tail and began to wave it.

"Man, you already tamed her?" muttered Matsuo.

"Tame?! Agh!" cried Erika, as she realized that her tail and puppy ears were out of her disguise, quickly calling them back into her body.

"Don't pet me like that! That's a forbidden area of any werewolf! Only my daddy pets me there!" said Erika with an intense blush.

"Is that so? I thought that… well, okay, sorry," apologized Frank.

"S-Sheesh… You'll have to pay for this with… this!" muttered Erika, stealing another onigiri from Frank's lunch.

"Wait, that's my last onigiri!" cried Frank.

"Fufu, this will be a fitting punishment! Nom!" said Erika, munching on the onigiri.

"I can play the same game!" said Frank with a teasing smile as he stole Erika's fries and a chicken nugget from her lunch.

"H-Hey! You damned human!" said Erika, stealing more of Frank's lunch as Frank did the same to her…

This was the entire lunch break until Harumi came back, and the teacher found Erika inside the classroom, reprimanding her, and sending her back to her own.

"What a stupid dog…" said Harumi.

"Well, that was funny," chuckled Frank.

"You really befriended that bloodthirsty beast… Man, do you have a talent for beast taming?" asked Matsuo jokingly.

"Oh, you'll see…" said Frank with a slight smile.

"I'll see…? What do you mean?" wondered Matsuo.

"We are in classes now, Matsuo, concentrate!" said Frank.

"…Fine," said Matsuo.
