The crowd watched in curiosity as the pressure vanished, while the god and supposedly his familia's child bickered, mama Mia and loki familia were on high alert, ryuu went to take the pair to there seats and take there orders, the talk resumed in the tavern but much quieter then before, loki recognised the god as shiva but they met only few times, she wanted to go say hi but her familia members stopped her before she, quite possibly, pick a fight with an unknown familia.
Bell was watching his newest idol with stars in his eyes, while syr(freya) looked at the new entry with curiosity, his power if determined by the pressure they just felt even drawfed her current champion according to mama Mia, she was excited to look at, possibly the brightest soul she would have seen, perhaps even rivalling hera's champion 'empress' the only level 9 to ever exist after gods descended but what she got was disappointing as well as weird at the same time.
The boy that bell with his rare pure transparent and ever shining soul admired had an... Ordinary soul, not even adventurer level, that's when she realised why someone as strong and eye catching as him never caught her eye, he was hiding, now she excited, even aroused, she loved challenges and to unveil a soul which cause bell's soul to shine brighter then ever before just by sitting there, she was twitching with excitement.
On the loki familias table the atmosphere was completely different as they thought what the adventurer said, it was too noisy so I made them shut up, there were 4 level 6, 5 level 5, and many more level 4's along side the waitress in the tavern and to make them shut up just by his aura even before entering, it was clear display of arrogance, but also the sheer difference between them
"it was him"
"" ""huh? "" "" the sudden declaration from aiz got loki familias attention
"he was the one who saved the boy"
"does it make a difference?" bete asked precauously, he knew that the boy who just entered was anything but weak, he was a beastman which prided themselves over there superior instinct and those instinct told him that the boy was dangerous.
"what do you know about him?" asked Finn, he needed every information he can get about the unknown variable that just popped up right in front of them.
"he is fast" aiz said
"how fast" Finn asked
"I couldn't see him when he killed the minotaur, not even a blur" showing the ever so little emotion
Alright, the boy wasn't just using some trick for the aura before if he was fast enough that aiz couldn't even see, the same aiz who could keep up against vanafreya the fastest in city, it was saying something, but then everyone had the same question in their mind, if he so powerful then why did nobody ever heard of him and if he so high level why wasn't the guild informed or perhaps they were hiding it, but why reveal now. Finn's brain was running at record speed trying to understand the situation but the information he had was too low.
Bell on the other hand was gathering his courage to speak to the teen who saved him, the werewolf of loki familia was right he had yet to thank the teen for his help, he suddenly slapped his cheeks startling syr who was standing beside him and stood up and started walking towards the duo, the whole tavern watched as the white haired brat approached the monster of an adventurer
"ano..."Bell said to gain there attention
" huh? " the young man looked at the boy when the boy suddenly bowed full 90 degree maybe a little lower at 100,
" thank you for saving me in dungeon "
" oh? You saved someone, is that why you were late" the god asked
"yes, now no need to bow boy, take care next time" said the young man softly with a smile
The duo almost started to eat when they noticed the boy was still there shuffling at the same place,
"you need something boy?" asked the god
The boy suddenly bowed again "please train me"
"Okay"
""huh?"" the deity and boy exclaimed together, while aiz's ears perked up,
"meet me at northern Wall at 4pm tomorrow" said the young man
"YES" bell replied with excitement, as he skipped towards syr with a radiant smile which made her heart skip a beat.
Bell returned to the abandoned church he called home, his goddess was currently preparing to visit the party of deities organised by god Ganesha that will be held tomorrow, seeing me so happy, goddess asked what happened and I told her about the training. She was worried about me fighting against a stranger but she allowed it since it will increase my chances of surviving in the dungeon.
I couldn't wait for the training to begin...
a punch at my right side,
"you are full of openings"
the wooden sword hit my left arm,
"too slow"
A punch to the abdomen
"your strike lacks commitment"
The wooden sword struck my head knocking me down
"and most of all, you severely lack experience"
My whole body was paining, as I realised...
"don't worry, I will beat you into shape in a week"
.... What kind of hell did I sign up for.
In the loki familia base, twilight Manor.
All the highest ranking members of the familia were gathered in finn's room, talking about the next exploration they will be going to when suddenly there was a knock on the door
"come in" Finn said, The door opened, akinity and Raul with some paper in his hand entered,
"here captain" Raul gave the paper to Finn, akinity stood near an empty corner and Raul went beside her
"did you get everything?" Finn asked
"everything I could" Raul replied, a little worried, there wasn't much available about the mysterious teen to began with
"let's see" Finn looked the file of the new adventure who came outside the orario and was only a level 3, Finn thought that the level have to be wrong, shiva familia only has one member, lio, no alias, will be given in the next denatus. That was all guild had on him officially had on him. Next came rumours, achievements, etc.
"is capable of healing magic, as a child he used to heal wounded in his town for free"
"fought over hundred orcs and goblins to protect a town.... Singlehandedly at level 2" Finn said with a pause
After a few more mentions he closed the file and started thinking.
"the report is almost too good to be true" riveria said with a sigh
"it's like..." tione said but before she could finish tiona shouted
"... A HERO!!!"
"we have quite the courageous and kind young man at our hands if the reports are true that is" gerath said while stroking his beard
Bete was scoffing at the report, tiona's eyes were sparkling, even aiz was very much interested in the young man, while lefiya was jealous that someone else got aiz's attention, a boy at that too.
"we should talk to him if we get a chance, I wanted to report a false level at the guild but reading the report is making me think otherwise plus we do not have any concrete proof that he is lying, I do not want to damage our relationship with a potential ally. We need to move first, aiz" Finn said while looking at aiz at the end
"yes? " aiz asked
"I allow you to challenge him to a duel" Finn said calmly
This shocked everyone, aiz nodded and started leaving,
"take bete and Gareth with you" riveria said
"ok" aiz said while bete and Gareth nodded
"I will come too" Finn said
"" me too "" the twins said together as Finn sighed again, he hoped it didn't annoy the boy instead.
