Exploring the Dimension After Reincarnation: Academic

New Penther Fellow

“(E-Either why do you say that humans are dangerous creatures, but you want me to join them.)” The tiger cub had a trembling voice feeling frightened when listening to Aya's explanation. “(Do you want me to join you? Or, you want me to run right now to survive?)”

Aya also smiled a little, feeling happy with her interlocutor who seemed to understand what she said. “(Quiet only. What I said earlier was the worst possibility. It is true, you will probably only always have bad days without having your own freedom. But, you will be fine as long as you are strong enough.)”

“(Then, do you think I'm strong enough at the moment?)” ask her anxiously and fearfully.

“(Yep! You're already pretty strong. Can not be said to be the strongest, but it is great enough to be able to survive to endure the cruelty of life with humans.)” Aya nodded and tried to comfort him. “(I myself have lived for some time with those humans, so I understand what humans want. You just have to follow my advice, then you'll be fine. Easy enough not)”

“(Hmm...)” He couldn't have answered Aya that easily. He is still tied to this forest, and is not sure to be able to join with humans. This hesitation made him speechless-thought-out more deeply about Aya's offer.

On one hand, the Tiger Child was alone within this forest and had no allies or someone he could truly consider a family. If he comes along, he can be with Aya and have someone close to him, but he himself still feels doubt if the humans who are with Aya-Elena et al-can be trusted.

“(If you think about the people who came with me before, you have absolutely nothing to worry about. They are all good people and can be trusted. The proof is that I am still fine until now. In addition, you may be able to rediscover your mother if you are with them. I'm not saying definitely meet, but at least you can try your hardest and pray.)”

“(Um..., fine! I'll join you guys. As long as I follow your words, then this will be fine, ‘kan? I don't really understand and don't know much about human culture, but you should be able to help me understand their language.)” He nodded as a gesture of approval.

‘(It turns out this is easier to do, yes. My original plan was just to buy time until they came along. Hopefully, my Trainer will now give me an extra gift in appreciation for my hard work. I won't ask for anything expensive. Just some snacks, like a cake or something else.)’

Aya and Elena's relationship can be said to be good even though they have just met. One factor that plays a big role in this is Elena's ability to make her communicate well with humans. But, Aya still did not know, Elena had absolutely no money in this world and could not give anything like rewards.

*prescription!*

The leaves and bushes move with something that removes them from their path. Of course, it was Elena et al who was also looking for Aya's whereabouts.

The distance between Aya and Elena's entourage was not far in fact. Just a few minutes Elena et al managed to get to Aya's place. In fact, Aya's fight with the Tiger Child only happened for a matter of seconds. What makes this long, is the amount of dialogue when in negotiations with the slow ability of the reader to read becomes another factor.

“Ah, we finally found you, Aya. I'm glad something bad didn't happen to you, or. After all, I did not tell you to chase after him from the beginning. You are the one who took the initiative to pursue it. I won't feel sad with you who suffered some minor injuries.” Elena's face was completely flat when she said that.

‘Toh, too, I have Vitakinesis ability despite weakening. Although it is weak in the absence of natural energy that adds to its effectiveness, it is still good enough to be able to heal external wounds on the skin. For broken bones and organs that have already disappeared, I will not be able to recover them again unfortunately, Elena's inner’.

Aya then stood before Elena, and explained, “(Woy! Don't say something cold like that, dong! Look, I've managed to make the penther that is your target become our partner and agree to cooperate. Couldn't you be more grateful to me as a sense of appreciation?)”

“Is that? Goodness.” Elena squatted down, pointed her right hand at Aya, and wagged it as a signal to get closer. “Ke here! I'll give you a gift like you want.”

“(What will I get?)” Aya with a feeling of wonder walked over to Elena.

*pat!* *Pat!*

Elena with her flat expression stroked Aya's head. Just like that, there is nothing more special than this. After all, this was something cheap and there was no need to spend any money.

“Yosh, yosh. You are my good-natured cat, you. I'm glad you became our partner.” Said Elena flat before releasing her hand.

“(Only that?)” Aya gawked and could not believe what had just happened. “(I tried so hard to tame it, and you just acted like that? Do you want to take you to fight, man! Go ahead! I'll show you the power of my claws!)”

Some vapors of anger came out from both of Aya's ears. His face flushed with his sharp claws, revealed to the three of them.

“Sorry. But, the three of us have absolutely no idea what is going on between the two of you. Can you tell me what's going on?” ask Kai.

“Oh, the.” Elena stood up and pointed her body at Kai and Leon behind her before saying, “Say, she-Yes-had already managed to make this penther become obedient to her. We can make it our partner more easily with this.”

“Really! Isn't that really a good thing?” Leon shouted happily listening to Elena's explanation, then he began to walk closer to the Tiger.

Unfortunately, it was different from what he expected. The tiger cub put on alert by removing its claws and showing its sharp teeth. He is ready to attack Leon if something bad is done to him.

“(Oh, I forgot to say if he has a pretty tragic past to the point of not being able to trust a human now. You should treat her well,)” explained Aya after calming herself down.

Aya herself knew when it was time to joke and when it was time to get serious.
