[Tempest Wolf]
One of the most powerful monsters in the ga, an A-rank boss, and the very monster that brought closer to death's door way before Liyana could.
A creature born out of the raging tempest of storms, the very monster that sohow brought an end to the final boss of Act 1, General Auvin.
And right now, it was also my very own familiar.

[Note: When contracting with familiars, it is best advised to avoid a full contract to avoid any mana breakdown once the contract breaks!]
To think this wolf would beco my first ever contracted familiar... I can't say I'm not too happy about this, but it's a bumr that now I'll only be able to contract with tempest-class spirits in the future.
Fortunately, the blood wyrm was also in that category.
Based on my jumbled mories, I was the one who basically did the contract out of ergency. So, there wasn't much to complain about.
I honestly wanted a more mystical familiar as my first, sothing of Cheshire's nature but finding a mystical familiar was as close to impossible, so I'll just have to settle for sothing that will help synergize with my current build and my battles in the future... and the tempest wolf was one such creature.
"This way, please."
Nodding at the guide's instructions, I followed him along a pretty large passage that resembled a cave system with white floors and intricate magical devices placed within.
If I were to compare it to sothing, it felt like entering one of those secret bases in sci-fi movies combined with a magical interlay in the design.
It felt both futuristic yet fantastical at the sa ti.
Right now, I was inside the academy's very own monster containnt facility, [Luminous Hall], a building where a bunch of captured or restrained monsters were being held.
Although storing monsters was technically illegal, this containnt facility was an exception as all the monsters here were dubbed as 'Educational' and were to be served as opponents for students to take down during upcoming practical tests and exams.
This place was also the breeding ground for the very monsters that lay around the academy's great forest.
As we continued through the passage, I couldn't help but marvel at the complexity and ingenuity of the facility.
The walls were lined with runes and glyphs, glowing softly and giving off a protective aura.
These were not just any containnt cells; they were designed to hold creatures of imnse power and ferocity.
Each cell was uniquely tailored to the needs and weaknesses of the monster inside, ensuring maximum security and minimal risk of escape.
The guide led to a viewing platform overlooking one of the larger containnt areas. "This is where we keep so of the more dangerous specins," he explained.
Below, I could see a variety of creatures, from massive, scaled beasts to ethereal, ghost-like entities. Each one was restrained by a combination of magical barriers and physical restraints, ensuring they remained under control.
"Impressive, isn't it?" the guide said, noticing my awe. "The Luminous Hall is one of the most advanced facilities of its kind. It's not just about containnt; it's about understanding and studying these creatures to improve our defenses and knowledge."
I nodded, still taking in the sight. "How do you manage to keep them all under control?"
"Each creature here is monitored constantly by a team of experts," the guide explained. "We use a combination of spells, potions, and enchanted artifacts to maintain control. It's a delicate balance, but one we've mastered over the years."
"I see..." Although I was a bit skeptical about the implications of their work and the purpose of this facility, I understood they were doing it for the benefit of humanity.
Even though he wasn't directly telling , I knew just how dark this facility could be when it ca to dealing with monsters.
This very lab-like containnt facility was where abnormal monsters like the Bandit Tortoise or the Poison Viper were born.
"Let's move on, shall we?" he suggested, thoroughly guiding to a more contained place below the underground level of this facility.
"According to the reports, it seems you are contracted with the Tempest Wolf, correct?"
"Yes," I confird.
The very reason I was even visiting this facility in the first place was because my familiar was being temporarily contained here.
"Hmm. Though I don't know how your bond ford or how much control you have over your contract, I would still advise you to please be careful." He then adjusted his glasses before having a tired expression. "Actually, during this past week, ever since that wolf was locked up in here, it's been rather unstable, attempting to escape more than 20 tis now."
"I'll keep that in mind" I nodded, absorbing the information. The Tempest Wolf's restlessness made sense.
As a creature born of storms and chaos, confinent was probably driving it mad. I needed to establish a stronger connection with it to ensure its cooperation and stability.
As we descended deeper into the facility, the atmosphere grew colder and more foreboding.
The walls were lined with even more intricate runes and glyphs, their glow intensifying the further we went.
Finally, we arrived at a heavily fortified door guarded by two stern-looking mages.
"This is where your familiar is being held," the guide said, nodding to the guards.
They perford a series of gestures, and the door slowly opened with a heavy groan, revealing a dark chamber filled with swirling tempest energy.
Inside, the Tempest Wolf stood, its eyes glowing with fierce intensity.
It was a majestic and terrifying sight, its fur crackling with electricity and its presence
exuding raw power.
The room was filled with the sound of howling wind and distant thunder, a testant to the
beast's elental nature.
Slowly, the Tempest Wolf rose, its fierce eyes locking onto mine.
Recognition sparked within them, and the connection between us beca illuminated, like a
warm, fuzzy feeling enveloping my body.
As I felt its power, I knew it also sensed mine.
Before I knew it, my body moved instinctively, and I walked closer to it.
"It's been a long ti..." I murmured, standing directly in front of the magnificent beast.
The wolf made a curious sound, tilting its head left and right as if scanning , assessing the changes since our last encounter.
The Tempest Wolf's eyes, usually filled with the wild rage of a storm, now held a spark of curiosity and recognition. It was a surreal mont.
The sa creature that had once driven to the brink of death now stood before , tethered by a bond that was both powerful and mysterious.
"Ah, that's right, I almost forgot, now that we've entered into a contract, I need to give you a na, right?" I said thoughtfully.
The Tempest Wolf looked suddenly excited, wagging its tail with enthusiasm. I couldn't help
but smile a little.
Although the guide had warned that the wolf had been exceptionally dangerous lately, to
, it seed nothing more than a gigantic, excited dog.
Was this newfound calm due to our contract, or the temporary bond we had just ford? I wasn't sure, but I felt strangely warm and at peace in its presence.
'Is this a feeling we both share, perhaps?' I wondered, holding my chin and closing my eyes to ponder what to na this majestic creature.
Honestly, I was quite bad at naming things, so I wasn't confident I could co up with a good
na, let alone one it would like.
Let's see... it's a white-maned wolf with crackling golden electricity surrounding it from ti
to ti. It has red eyes that imply it's a full-on albino.
A good na would probably be...
"Whitey, right?"
"....."
The mont I said those words, the entire room seed to freeze.
The Tempest Wolf stopped wagging its tail and stared at as if I had lost my mind.
The mages in the back, my guide, and even the Tempest Wolf all looked at with
expressions of shock and disbelief.
Growl!
The wolf snarled at aggressively, finding the na "Whitey" ridiculous. Golden sparks of electricity intensified around its body as it threatened to end .
"Okay, okay, maybe not Whitey," I said quickly, trying to recover from my blunder. "How
about sothing that reflects your power and majesty?"
"Hmm... Stormfang?" The wolf's ears perked up slightly at the suggestion. "Or
Thunderstrike?"
The Tempest Wolf seed to consider these nas, but there was still a hint of dissatisfaction in its eyes.
I needed sothing that truly encapsulated its essence.
"How about Raijin?" I suggested, recalling the na of the Japanese god of thunder and
lightning.
The wolf's eyes lit up, and it let out an approving growl. It seed pleased with the na.
'Does it even understand its aning?' I wondered. 'Well, if he likes it, then it is what it is.' "Raijin it is, then," I said with a smile.
The wolf's tail started wagging again, and I felt a renewed sense of connection between us.
"Welco to the team, Raijin."
As I touched its head, the soft fur buzzed with electrifying energy.
I knew our contract was now truly established.

I felt a surge of power flow through , a testant to the strength of our connection. Raijin looked at with eyes full of intelligence and understanding, and I knew this was the
beginning of a powerful partnership.
Slowly, the restraints and magical chains placed on my partner let go, clattering to the ground
as the powerful sealing magic dissipated.
Raijin stretched his limbs, a low growl rumbling from his throat, as if savoring the newfound
freedom.
The golden sparks of electricity danced around his form, more subdued now, but still a clear testant to his imnse power.
"Well then, let's go, shall we?" I said, turning to leave the containnt facility. Raijin's red eyes t mine, and with a flick of his tail, he padded silently beside .
