Summary
The story starts with Rein Shroud getting called out by his party members. Arios tells Rein he is fired from the party, shocking Rein. Rein asks for the reason and Leanne harshly says it was done because he is useless. At this, other members start mocking him, and when he tries to talk, Arios tells him he shouldn't since it'll be pathetic. So, Rein leaves the party along with returning the gear.

Rein starts thinking about what he should do now in the city on the horizon. While he was still thinking, some children came to him and asked whether he had completed the job or not. Then they ask him to do the usual thing, and Rein happily accepts. Rein sees an eagle flying and makes a temporary contract with it. He orders the eagle to say hello to the children, which makes the children very happy, and he decides to let the eagle go. The children tell Rein they'll become beast tamer just like him rather than being a hero. When Rein inquires about this, they say the other party members always look annoying, but Rein is different and always plays with them. At this, he remembers the people's annoying behavior whenever he talks about the hero party. Thinking for a while, he decides to become an adventurer.

At the Adventurers Guild, Rein gives his name for registration as an adventurer. He asks the guild receptionist, Natalie Brough, to tell him about the adventurers' system. She gives him the essential knowledge and asks his class. Upon hearing beast tamer as his class, she becomes anxious, which makes Rein remember what Leanne had told him before, but Rein says he'll be fine. He was then told to kill ten goblins as a registration test. Using a squirrel, he tracked the goblins and started to attack them. He kills them off and collects the magic stones. He then hears someone's scream only to find out a girl is being cornered by a Killer Tiger. He decides to act on his knife to attack it, but its skin is so hard that the knife brokes up. As the killer tiger cornered him, he witnessed the girl jumps at a very high speed and slams the tiger.

Rein sees that the girl is from the Cat Tribe, said to be an endangered species. The girl falls, and Rein asks whether she is okay or not. She says she is hungry. After Rein gives him some food, she gives him thanks and introduces herself Kanade. While they start talking about themselves, Rein tells her about his banishment, which makes Kanade angry with the hero. This made Rein happy as she was angry with him, and he patted her on her head, and she happily enjoyed it. She then asks Rein to tame her. At first, Rein wonders if it is possible to do so but feels that he wants to know Kanade better and try it, which turns out to be a success.
