The Unveiling of Laxus

However, seeing the usually gentle and kind Ragar throw a cute little puppy like that was so unexpected, Rocco couldn't help but look at him in confusion.

As Rocco stood frozen in place, the two of them continued to glare at Laxus, and then Georgio muttered in a low voice.

"...I knew something was off the first time I saw you, but... you're a Beastman, aren't you?"

"...It seems my feeling of sensing a superior presence wasn't a mistake after all."

"W-What? A Beastman? Superior? What does that mean?"

Rocco was left completely clueless, but it seemed like the two of them were ignoring him entirely.

The tense standoff between the three continued in silence for a few seconds.

Then, a voice Rocco had never heard before cut through the quiet.

"Ah, I see. You've figured it out."

The voice sounded playful and completely unfazed by the murderous intent from the two of them.
