Manga Chapter 11

Chapter 11: The Second Strongest Race is the 11th manga chapter of the '''Beast Tamer manga.

Summary
A week after meeting Kanade, Rein says that the days have been peaceful for the two of them. One day, however, the Adventurers' Guild receptionist Myuril informs him that there is a rogue on the south bridge, referred to as "Stride Bridge's Watchdog," and this person has been causing trouble for a few days by picking fights with anyone that crosses paths with the person. There have been no casualties, but that hasn't stopped people from not using the bridge.

With that all said, Myuril asks Rein if he can handle the rogue and he asks if it's okay since he's Rank E. Myuril tells him there are no rank restrictions for this request and the one who completes it gets five gold coins. After hearing that, Rein agrees to take the request.

The two make their way to Stride Bridge, which connects to the central continent where the city of Horizon is located. Kanade is in awe of the site but asks what kind of "watchdog" would appear in a place like this and what kind of person they are. Rein says that they haven't been able to get a testimony from the ones who were attacked and he starts to grow a little nervous, but just as he tells Kanade to keep her guard up, he sees the "watchdog," which turns out to be giant red dragon!

The dragon lands on the bridge and assumes a humanoid form, revealing to be a woman as well. She tells the two of them to fight her, but Rein just asks if she is the "watchdog" he heard about. She admits she is (though she personally doesn't like the name) and calls herself Tania, a member of the Dragon Tribe. Tania proclaims herself the most powerful dragoness in the world and that she is training at the bridge, and Kanade explains to a confused Rein that all members of the Dragon Tribe go on a journey when they turn fifteen to become stronger. Tania confirms and tells the two that she wants to test her power against them because of how strong they seem.

Ultimately, Rein and Kanade agree to challenge her, with Kanade reassuring Rein that they can take her.
