"Say...Old man, where did you say you found this guy again?"
"...Look, I just sent out a request to the adventurer's guild ok, I don't know where they find all these loonies."
Two men were hiding behind a rather large tree as they stared at the bizarre scene in front of them. A young child with red hair and golden eyes was fighting with a massive boar. The boar was at least a good 5 feet tall and must have weighed more than the both of them combined, yet the child seemed to have no problem fending off the beast by himself.
No, rather wasn't it that the kid was beating it? While the boar had sported all manners of bruises and other wounds, the redhead looked as if he was taking a leisurely stroll through the forest! There was even a wild grin that never left his face since the battle started!

The strangest part of it all was not only the fact that he was wearing a thick blue robe in the middle of the forest but the small wand dangling from his back pocket.
A wand!
A symbol of mages and wizards, whose mastery of magic and the mystic were known and feared across the lands!
Ya know, those stereotypical wise old men who stood back and unleashed fiery hell upon their enemies from a safe distance?
Yet before the two of them was one such member of such an esteemed and famous group... Fighting a wild boar...
With. His. Bare. Hands...?!
Wtf?
A small child looking like he had barely been weaned off his mother's milk was wrestling with a ferocious animal and winning, and yet the adventurer's guild had clearly told them they had sent over a Wizard...
What Wizard?! What Magic?! Wasn't this just a Barbarian Child playing dress up?!
Give us back our expectations!
