WHAT THE HELL?!
Kaito Ren's face twitched. The system had said it was an oviparous bird! Why…
Wait.
Kaito Ren recalled the system's description of the egg. It had said oviparous, with oviparous characteristics, and that it would bond with the first living thing it saw, but it hadn't specified that it was a bird!
He'd been tricked!
Kaito Ren was furious. He'd been outsmarted by the system again!
[Ding… Congratulations, host has acquired a pet. Please name it!]
The system's notification was untimely. Kaito Ren was beyond annoyed.
He'd considered "Little Black Fatty," but that sounded too common. He decided to stick with "Little Black." Simple, convenient, and easy to remember.
[Ding… Congratulations, host has successfully named the pet.]
[Pet: Little Black (Juvenile)]
[Species: ?]
[Quality: ?]
[Abilities: ?]
[Strength: Wolf-level Upper]
?!
Kaito Ren had glanced at the stats casually, expecting a bunch of question marks. But then he saw the strength. This seemingly insignificant creature was Wolf-level Upper?!
This was unbelievable!
"System, explain!"
Kaito Ren restrained his urge to yell.
[Ding… Pet strength, species, and quality are related and will improve with the host's strength.]
He'd already known that. He wanted to know what the question marks meant.
But before he could ask, the system replied:
[Cannot disclose.]
…
Seriously?!
Fine! I'll endure it!
Kaito Ren took a deep breath, suppressing his anger. He was still weak. He'd get revenge later.
Just as Kaito Ren was fantasizing about his future dominance, a sharp pain shot through his finger.
"Teacher, what's wrong?!"
"Kaito Ren, are you okay?!"
Saitama and Asaka Hanako rushed over, concerned.
"Kaito Ren, you're bleeding!"
Asaka Hanako saw the blood and panicked, reaching for her phone to call an ambulance.
"I'm fine."
Kaito Ren took a deep breath, smiling at Asaka Hanako and Saitama. He looked at Little Black, who was now asleep in his hand, having had its fill of blood.
"System, what's going on? Will it always need my blood?"
Kaito Ren shuddered at the thought. A few drops were fine now, but what about later? Even a small increase in size would drain him dry.
[In its juvenile stage, it needs the host's blood to survive. It will eat independently once it reaches the juvenile stage.]
Kaito Ren was relieved. At least he wouldn't be drained completely.
"Don't worry, this little guy hatched from the egg I brought back."
Kaito Ren explained to Saitama and Asaka Hanako.
"Such a big egg hatched such a small creature?!"
Saitama gestured. The egg had been the size of a basketball! Now it was the size of a sausage? He wished he'd cooked it instead; at least they'd have had a meal.
"That's your pet?"
Asaka Hanako, no longer afraid, approached, wanting to touch it.
"Kaito Ren, can I touch it?"
"Sure."
Kaito Ren handed Little Black over.
Asaka Hanako cautiously reached out, finally touching Little Black. It felt smooth and cool.
Little Black stirred, found a comfortable position, and went back to sleep. Asaka Hanako giggled at its cuteness.
"It's cute, not scary at all."
"Congratulations, it hatched quickly."
Hellish Blizzard emerged from her room.
"Thank you. If you hadn't brought it back, I would have missed it."
Kaito Ren smiled gratefully at Hellish Blizzard. He wouldn't have gotten the egg back without her.
"Why thank me? It's yours. I just returned it."
Hellish Blizzard looked away, uncomfortable with the gratitude, but her eyes kept drifting towards Little Black. She was curious but too proud to approach.
"Aren't you guys hungry?!"
Saitama groaned, his stomach rumbling. He'd trained all morning, then been beaten up by Kaito Ren.
"Right, eat while it's hot!"
Asaka Hanako remembered the breakfast she'd prepared for Kaito Ren.
"Here, thanks for getting Little Black back, even though it went missing because of you."
Asaka Hanako offered Hellish Blizzard some breakfast.
"It was my duty."
Hellish Blizzard said coldly.
"If you don't want it, great! I was worried there wouldn't be enough!"
Asaka Hanako went to take back the breakfast, but Hellish Blizzard was faster, grabbing it and eating.
Kaito Ren smiled, pleased to see them interacting. The scene was surprisingly harmonious.
"Hmm? This smells delicious! I arrived at the perfect time!"
Except for this untimely voice… Kaito Ren frowned at the newcomer.
