Five years ago, the most dazzling genius at the Spirit Beast Administration lost everything on the night of his eighteenth birthday.
His mother fell into a pool of blood, and his spirit beast, a white tiger, stood beside her.
Everyone said he did it.
Five years later, he is hiding in a cabin by a fjord in the northern lands. The white tiger has turned into a border collie, and he doesn't want to hear a single word about the Administration.
Until an S-rank operative, the only person in the entire Administration without a spirit beast, knocks on his door.
"The Spirit Beast Administration."
"And?"
"I've been ordered to bring you back."
"What if he doesn't recognize you?"
"Then he doesn't recognize me."
"You don't even know his current rank, and you're willing to sign?"
"I'm signing for the person he is, not his rank."
