Manga Chapter 4

Chapter 4: Rein's Strength is the 4th manga chapter of the '''Beast Tamer manga.

Summary
Rein accepts the man's challenge as he doesn't want to put Kanade in danger, despite feeling he doesn't stand a chance. However, the instant the two begin, Rein easily beats the man, destroying part of the table itself.

Everyone, including Rein, is left in shock while Kanade cheers for Rein's victory. Seeing Rein's confusion, Kanade explains to Rein that when he formed a contract with her, his abilities became strengthened to match the one who he is contracted with. In this case, because the Cat Tribe have superior physical strength, Rein has acquired the same level of strength. Rein is still left stunned by this revelation but Kanade pulls him out of his thoughts by telling him that seeing him stand up for her made her really happy. This leads to Rein declaring that from now on, he'll do everything he can to protect his new friend.

Later, the two take a new request to pick medicinal herbs. Kanade feels such a quest is beneath the two of them after what happened earlier since they were praised for dealing with the man, who was a recurring nuisance. Rein points out though that they are still F-Rank, so simply requests like these is all they can accept. Kanade is annoyed by this but Rein says that it can provide good experience, and she goes back to work more cheerful. Rein then asks Kanade what she was doing before they met, and she reveals that she left her home to go on a journey. Kanade explains that since her race live deep in the mountains because of how few there are, she was getting bored with life there and left to find some excitement, which led to her meeting him. She says that it all feels like fate and Rein agrees, as he feels he has been changed for the better after meeting her.

After a while, Rein realizes that they won't be able to find enough herbs before the deadline. When Kanade asks if there is a faster way, Rein comes up with an idea which involves some rabbits.
