Can Petting Fluffy Creatures Make Me a Top Guide?

Rong An was born into a family of S-class Sentinels, but he was late to differentiate.

His roommates looked down on him, his family was disappointed in him, and even his childhood friend gradually grew distant...

At last, he differentiated: his mental form was an entire forest.

Rong An: ?

Wasn't it supposed to be an animal? How did I become a forest?

On the first day, a little wildcat wandered into the forest. It was full of itself, but secretly brushed its short tail against his fingertips.

On the second day, a leopard brought him the food it had hunted, then licked him all over, leaving his face covered in drool.

On the third day, a short-snouted crocodile crawled out by the marsh and rolled onto its back, waiting for him to scratch its belly.

Unable to resist their affectionate antics, Rong An showed off his skills, petting all the fluffy creatures until they melted into his arms.

Later, he heard that his haughty roommate's mental form was a wildcat; the combat instructor's was a leopard; and the top student at the Sentinel Academy, his childhood friend, had a crocodile...

Rong An was dumbfounded. Then what about the Siberian tiger that wrapped its tail around him every night while they slept?

A crushing presence closed in behind him. Two large hands reached around and pulled him close, like a beast marking its territory. "Be my Guide."

Rong An: !?

All he'd done was pet some fluffy animals. How had he become a Guide?

The Tower, the central authority overseeing Sentinels and Guides.

Everyone envied the Tower Master, the only SSS-class Sentinel in the world.

But they didn't know that his mental form was so powerful it exceeded the limits of a Guide's ability to soothe. Until his senses overloaded, he was tormented every moment by a violent, chaotic mental world.

They put a suppressor collar on him, injected him with calming Guide pheromones, and locked him in the lowest level of the Tower.

The day Rong An came to the Tower to register, someone tore a huge hole through the reinforced isolation room with ease.

The entire Tower sounded the alarm. High-ranking Sentinels rushed over, bracing for the worst. "It's over! The Tower Master's mental form has gone berserk!"

Just as everyone prepared to subdue him at all costs, they saw the Siberian tiger's mental form getting its chin scratched by a young man. The tiger's eyes narrowed just like a cat's, and a contented purr rumbled in its throat.

This, this is...
