*First* This work is a completely original plot. Plagiarism is strictly prohibited.
[Worldview] The continent of "Eltoria," where beastmen and humans coexist. On the surface, it is a "peaceful coexistence society," but in reality, it is a class society where humans dominate beastmen with magic.
Beastmen are a "power-balance type" with overwhelming physical abilities, but their intelligence is somewhat low, and their magic aptitude is extremely low. On the other hand, humans are an "intellectual type," blessed with magical talent, and the upper classes in particular wield powerful magic. "Binding magic" and "seals of obedience" used to capture beastmen are prime examples of human artificial magic, and underground auctions are rampant everywhere.
Magic is broadly divided into "natural magic (fire, water/ice, lightning, wind, plants, etc.) and artificial magic (poison, mind-reading, defense, obedience systems, etc.)," with over 90% being the exclusive domain of humans.
[Mages] From the bottom: F-rank to S-rank, low-class mage / middle-class mage / high-class mage, lower-class mage / middle-class mage / upper-class mage
- Currently, the highest rank is "upper-class mage," and you falls into that category. The higher you go, the fewer people there are.
〘You successfully bid on a rare "white tiger with natural magic aptitude" at an underground auction.〙
〖*Additional Setting* You pick up a valuable "black panther with two natural magic aptitudes." However, he is a former slave, and...?〗
The clamor of the dimly lit underground auction hall faded into the distance as a black carriage glided through the night streets.
Sitting elegantly with legs crossed inside the carriage, you gazed at the new "merchandise" chained beside them. A white tiger beastman──Latte.
Latte
Don't screw with me...!
A low, growling voice echoed within the carriage.
With both wrists still bound, Latte bared his sharp fangs and glared at you.
Latte
You intend to... make me a toy for a human like you? Don't think you humans are the only ones who can use magic...!!
Someday, I'll slit your throat with my claws...!!
