"Alright, everyone! Gather up!" Kisuke raised his voice.
Soon after, everyone from the Loki Familia had gathered around him in anticipation. Although there are other feelings mixed in like embarrassment, due to Kisuke being a man and seeing them in their swimsuits, they couldn't feel an ounce of the strange stare that most men give them so they were able to relax a bit.
Kisuke didn't immediately address them and contemplated on something, 'Hmm... Just teaching them isn't enough. They also need the motivation to move forward,' deciding on the steps he intended to take, Kisuke finally started, "Before I teach it to everyone, I first have to explain a few things."
"To learn this 'trick', you just have to learn how to manipulate energy, a type of energy that is different from Magic Power?"
Just from this, everyone aside from Riveria, Ais and Line became confused, "A different type of energy outside of Magic Power? Does something like that exist?" asked Lefiya.
"Yes. It's not widely known but there are actually three types of power that reside in everyone, including Magic Power. As for the other two, we'll only discuss one of them as it's almost impossible to manipulate the last one."
Kisuke then saw Tiona raise her hand, "You said that these powers reside within everyone, but my Magic Parameter was zero from the moment I received my Falna. So Magic Power shouldn't exist within me."
"Incorrect. The Magic Power that you can see on your Status is the amount that you can actively use. In your case, all the Magic Power that you have went straight towards passively strengthening your other parameters. You should have marginally more Strength, Endurance and Agility than your twin sister, right? On top of that, those three parameters develop faster than everyone else despite doing the same thing."
"T-that's true... So I really do have Magic Power? It's just that, I can't use it aside from strengthening myself?"
Kisuke nodded in acknowledgment.
Placing her right fist on top of her left palm, Tione thought the right words for her, "Ah, in other words, a power idiot."
"Exactly," Kisuke nodded yet again.
Of course, Tiona immediately protested, "Who're you calling an idiot!?"
Unfortunately for her, everyone else ignored her as they wanted to listen to Kisuke's words more. Even for Riveria, the fact that Tiona actually had Magic Power, but it's used to strengthen her was actually a theory in her mind and she had no way to actually prove it.
"Now then, moving on, the other energy residing within you is very basic. So basic that you're already feeling it the moment you were born, which is why it's so hard to perceive compared to Magic Power. And this is your Life Force."
"There are many ways to describe it. One could say it's the power that your blood carries, but in a broader sense, it's the power of your own physical body."
Immediately after, Tione interrupted him, "Even if you say that it's hard to perceive, someone out there other than you should have made the same discovery, yet it's still unknown to this day. How can you prove that you're telling the truth?"
And looking at the rest's reaction, Kisuke figured out they have the same question in mind.
Kisuke understood her skepticism. In fact, he appreciates it. He doesn't really want to teach people that just accept everything he says. Smiling, he answered, "The fact that there are honorable Goddess present right now and haven't called out any lies is already evidence."
It was only then that they recalled that he couldn't lie in front of a Deity and accepted it. In addition, their intrigue regarding this topic increased along with their anticipation.
However, for Kisuke, this anticipation was far from enough, "Nevertheless, I can still show you two concrete pieces of evidence to prove my words. First is the Status and the second is a demonstration."
"Wait! By Status, you don't mean...," Riveria interrupted him.
"Well, you've already seen it, so you could just ignore it."
Riveria put her palm on her face and sighed, 'That isn't the problem!' She thought and became worried about the girls' perception of the world. Their common sense was just about to be shattered, 'But, maybe this is for the best?'
Confused at Riveria's reaction, everyone became curious as Kisuke suddenly pulled out a piece of paper and gave it to Hestia first, "Please confirm the authenticity of this."
Written on the paper was Koneko's Basic Abilities before she levelled up to 2.
Shirone Toujou
Level 1
Basic Abilities:
STR: SSS-1490
VIT: EX-1500
DEX: SSS-1339
AGI: SSS-1475
MANA: SS-1001
KI: EX-1500
With a blank face and a dry laugh, Hestia nodded and confirmed, "Aha..haha...haha... This is Koneko-kun's Status before she became Level 2."
Artemis also took a peek and was shocked. But thanks to Hestia's warnings last night, she wasn't as surprised. After all, her children will also go in this direction too and she had already hardened her mind.
Unfortunately, the last Goddess wasn't informed of any of this and carelessly approached the two of them, "Whatcha lookin' at? Lemme take a peek too! You're going to show this to my children, right?"
But the moment she laid her eyes on the sheet of paper, her eyes widened and she snatched the paper from Hestia's hand before howling to the sky while looking at it, "What the heck is this!?!?!"
"Koneko-kun's Status before she leveled up," answered Hestia calmly. However, it was also apparent that there was a bit of smugness on her face.
"No no no no! How can someone have a Status like this!? Even compared to my Ais-tan, this is too much!" Loki couldn't accept it.
"I can guarantee that what's written on that is true. Aside from that, there's actually no point in me lying to you, right? Moreover, with something this ridiculous," Hestia added.
Loki stared at her with an unbelieving expression and Hestia continued, "Yes, even for me, this is ridiculous."
"What about the others?" asked Loki.
"Why would I answer that?"
"Is this really true?"
"Should I show you Koneko-kun's Falna?"
Loki then proceeded to scratch her head, 'It's not just speculation anymore. If all of them have similar Status, then without a doubt, they'll reach the deepest part of the Dungeon if given enough time!' She thought.
Riveria approach Loki to try and comfort her, "I know it's shocking to see an additional line below the Basic Abilities in addition to really surprisingly high parameters."
It was Loki's turn to look at Riveria with a blank expression, "Really? Then why don't you take a look?"
Riveria thought that although Koneko has 'Ki' on her Basic Abilities, there's really nothing strange about it. Little did she know that it was extremely outdated information.
The moment she laid her eyes on it, however, she had the same reaction as Loki, but much quieter, "What the heck is this?"
