After Eric heard that, he checked the situation of the other Wolf Pack, and he found out the reason why they want to join his pack.

——(End)——
Eric is quite happy as before, he didn't know how to increase the level of his Job Class, but now he finally got some ideas, on how to increase it.
Eric and the rest of the wolves return to the cave to rest.
The next day...
Eric took 10 Great Wolf with him, to hunt for food and to also gain some exp for the F-Rank Wolves. He didn't need to bring the F-Rank Wolves with him to share the exp they gained in the hunt, us long as Eric put some % exp distribution to them, they will gain that amount of exp.
As Eric was moving through the forest, he spotted a group of humans. This humans are Leo and his group that he met, about a week ago. since then, they haven't seen each other.
"oh... Nice seeing you here... Leo!" as Eric said the name Leo, he activated his skill Intimidate.

Flashbacks a few days ago...
(Leo's perspective)
Leo has just gotten lvl 25 and went to the Adventurer's Guild to increase his Adventurer's Rank.
After successfully becoming an E-Rank Adventurer, Leo and his party members went to celebrate.
Now that Leo. their party leader, become an E-Rank Adventurer, they are now able to accept E-Rank Quest.
"Hmm... What mission do you guys want to do?" Leo asked his party members.
'What about this F-Rank Mission: Transport a supply to the City of Magrid. The reward is 5 silver coins.' a woman suggested.
'We are now able to accept an E-Rank Mission, so why not accept this E-Rank Mission: Exterminate a goblin village in the Great Dragon Mountain. The reward is 40 silver coins.' A muscular man suggested.
'Goblins are only an F-Rank monster and one of the weakest monster. The reasons this is an E-Rank mission is only because of the numbers that we will have to face.' another man explain.
'No!.. We have just attain the E-Rank, so let's do F-Rank just for now.' Another man suggested.
'oh! Don't be a coward and if we really did get in a sticky situation, we can just run away.' another man said while patting the back of the cowardly man.
After a few minutes of talking and thinking, they finally decided to accept the E-Rank Mission: Exterminate a goblin village in the Great Dragon Mountain.
So Leo and his party started going to The Great Dragon Mountains.
———
The Great Dragon Mountains - It a giant mountain range, that is located in the middle of the central continents. The Great Dragon Mountains has gotten it's name, not only because of its size, but also because a dragon was living in the very core area of the the Great Dragon Mountains. So many tried killing the dragon, but that only resulted in their deaths.
———
After a few hours of travelling, Leo and his group finally reach the Great Dragon Mountains. It also took them a few hours of moving through the mountain forest to get to their destination(Goblin Village).
'That's should be the Goblin Village, but why is it already destroyed?' the man looked at the map to double check if they are in the right location, as the supposed Goblin Village is already in ruins.
Leo and his group went closer to the Goblin Village, to check what was going on.
After they got close to the Goblin Village, a Great Wolf appeared with other wolves and they started surrounding us.
Leo and the other's immediately ready their weapons.
'We better start running away from here.' a man suggested.
'Run?.. There's no way, we will be able to outrun does wolves.' Another man said.
'then what to we do?.. we can't beat all those wolves, they're 10 times more stronger than a goblin.'
'What do we do Leo! our mission was only supposed to eradicate the goblin village!' a woman said to Leo.
'I warn you guys to not accept an E-Rank mission yet, when we only just gotten E-Rank Adventurer!' The cowardly man exclaimed.
Leo looked at the Great Wolf.
'I know you can understand me!.. and I hope you also understand the situation! ~ if you try and fight us... Both sides will only suffer!' Leo said that as he keep his eyes looking straight at the Great Wolf.
Leo and The Great Wolf started having conversations.
A few minutes of casual conversation later...
Leo was able to make a deal with the Great Wolf, the Great Wolf will let them go, in exchange for some potion. After the Great Wolf received the potion. The wolves started leaving.
———
"Let's go investigate the Goblin Village!" Leo ordered.
After Leo and his group got inside the Goblin Village, they found so many goblin corpses.
When they check the goblin corpses to get the magic stone, they found nothing.
"It seems the wolves already consumed the magic stone. Oh well... Let's just then take the goblins and the Hobgoblin ear, as the proof we finished the task." Leo said.
Leo and his group started ripping the goblins ear and putting them in a sack. After they finish doing that, they started heading back to the Adventurer's Guild.
...
"We completed our mission." Leo said to the receptionist of the Adventurer's Guild.
The receptionist is a beautiful woman with an innocent looks, but you shouldn't judge her strength, just based only on her appearance alone. As this receptionist is already lvl 30.
'Your mission was an E-Rank, which is to Exterminate a goblin village. The mission reward is 40 silver coins and the Adventurer's Guild will take the 5% service fee, so the total amount will be 38 siver coins.'
"We also have this." Leo took out a sack full of goblin's ear. The receptionist took the sack and gave it to another person. After Leo waited for a few minutes. The receptionist called him and took out 7 silver coins and 29 copper coins.
'Killing 1 goblin gives you a reward of 3 copper coins and you killed a total of 243 goblins, which total to 7 silver coins and 29 copper coins, but as the rules in the Adventurer's Guild. The guild will take the 5% as a service fees, so the real total will be 6 silver coins and 93 copper coins.
After taking the money, Leo went to a tavern, where his party members was having a blast. Drinking and having fun, some even is already somewhat drunk. Leo seeing this, just smiled.
Being an adventurer is a dangerous occupation. You might just die at any moment when doing any missions, so why not enjoy yourself while you still can.
