As I wasn't really running at this moment while still pondering, Light jumping off me wouldn't really cause him any damage, so instead of trying to catch him, I was more interested in his intentions as an extremely intelligent infant…

The very thin smokescreen which wasn't as showy as the one released when we were still inside the shack indicated that this was likely to be the effect of Light invoking his new ability on his own this time, which gave less of an impact when compared to the time of the ability's creation.

Thanks to that, I was easily able to see Light's body expand again, in a more calm way this time before he let out a...

"Meow!"

'Wow…'

Could you imagine seeing a somewhat oversized black lion whose cry was actually a cute meow…?

'This is actually not that bad…'

As the big lion came closer as he started to rub himself on me, I couldn't deny the fact that little Light still looked cute even when he wasn't in his 'little' state…

"You want me to get on…?"

Once again, I was able to tell what he wanted to just by his gestures, which could only be either that I got so much better at handling animals or that this was indeed the doing of 'Blood Companion' and I was pretty much sure it was the latter.

"Meow meow!"

Seeing Light's enthusiastic reaction, I didn't hesitate before jumping on his back, which was obviously wide enough for 5 more of me. As Light's performance as a mount was something that I already wanted to test anyway, so it was all for the better since he was the one that asked for it himself!

"Meow!"

Zzzzap!

As soon as I stabilized myself on Light's back, he let out another meow before he suddenly hit the ground with his front paw, propelling him to rush directly to the front as the faint sound of static electricity could be heard…

'This… Light is really full of surprises!'

Not only was Light's running capability similar to an experienced beast mount's, such as the lightning horse, but even his speed wouldn't lose to its speed either. Part of this could be simply attributed to the Thunder Lion's inheritance, which gave Light the experience he displayed even though it was his first time, but the main reason as to why Light's speed was also astonishing was because he…

'Already using the 'Body of Elements'...?'

Though he didn't use full elementaliziation, neither should he be even able to do it to begin with, Light was still able to elementalize his paws to increase his speed, which wasn't within the capability of his normal elemental art as well, but even if such astounding acts were ignored, just the fact that he was already capable of using 'Body of Elements' was a surprise on its own.

The combination of all these surprises accompanied by what had already happened had already returned my expression back to a very calm one, as I firmly decided that I wouldn't get astonished by whatever Light does once again!


Be it the Thunder Lion's hidden planning and intentions, the peculiarity of using my own elements as the source that assisted Light's birth or the crazy talent of this race and maybe just Light's terrifying talent as an individual… all of these seemed to be more than enough reasons for Light to show so many surprises which is why I just planned to accept whatever surprises he would throw at me in the future!

Zzzzap!

"It's ok little Light, you did very great! You can slow down now."

The sound of the lightning elements crackling around Light's paws was very audible, so I obviously didn't plan to continue this show and grab the attention of potential passerbys, which is why I patted Light to slow down and stop using his 'Body of Elements'.

Naturally, I had already understood the reason as to why Light wanted me to try a ride on him through our resonated understanding, he was simply… asking for praise!

In simpler terms, he was showing off his abilities to me so that I would praise him for it, much like a little child who wanted to prove himself to his father, so the key to keeping him happy while solving the solution was simply giving him the praise that he wanted.

"Meowwww…" 

Light's acceleration soon came to a stop as I played with the fur above his head, as he almost purred like a little cat, all while still moving at a reasonable pace towards Battle City...

`~~`~~`~~`

Back in Battle City…

"There is no news coming from there yet…?"

The black bearded man sitting in front of the black crystal ball couldn't help but sweat as he reported in response, "nothing my lord… it seems that they might have really met a rare unfortunate occurrence…" 

"You reassured me that you had left an Ancient Bewitcher on the items that were the key to opening the path to the base, yet you have the gall to tell me that something had gone wrong with that? Do you think I would doubt the potency of the Ancient Bewitchers or you own lousy work? Why don't you take a guess?" the voice that came out from the crystal ball was clearly irritated, but it still wouldn't be hard to tell that he was completely composed, almost totally calm.

"The problem is that three of those who had the items had returned without any problems, only one was somewhat injured while the other two seemed to have only gone for a walk, which is why I suspect that the fourth one is one of the 'Hunters'...." the man hurriedly used a napkin to remove the sweat that almost covered his face as he stated his suspicions.

"A hunter, huh? I thought that their numbers had already dwindled beyond recognition while we laid low for a long while, to think there is still one of them out there…"
