Hestia: WHAT THE HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hestia let out a loud scream when she updated Lili and Haruhime's new stats. Seeing this Primis twitched slightly, and he knocked her head.
POW!!!!
Hestia: OUCH!!!
Primis: Shut up. Your scream might disturb Hephaestus who is creating their weapons.
Hearing this, Hestia hurriedly put her hands on her mouth. Though there were still some tears at the corner of her eyes. She then hurriedly went back into Hephaestus workshop to check Hephaestus. When she confirmed that Hephaestus didn't get disturb, she came out and sigh.
Hestia: Safe. That was a close one.
Then she realized something and pointed her at Primis.
Hestia: Did you just hit a beautiful goddess like me?
'Primis: Even while complaining, she didn't forget to shamelessness compliment herself.'
[Narcissistic.]
'Primis: Agreed.'
Primis: I did. So?
Hestia: How could you do that?
Primis: Let me demonstrate you again.
STEP!!!!
STEP!!!!
STEP!!!!
Hestia hurriedly took three steps back while holding her head.
Hestia: No need. As a forgiving Goddess, I forgive you.
Then she nodded her head several times. Though, she had stop when she heard Primis next.
Primis: But neither do I apologize, nor do I ask for forgiveness.
'Hestia: This guy really has no respect for Gods.'
Hestia: *cough* Don't worry as a caring Goddess, I already knew what another person is thinking. Hence, before you could apologize, I forgive you. You should be happy.
Primis: Yes. Yes.
Primis sigh and shook his head. He also decided to stop here. He knew that if it came to Hestia then she won't mind spending hours on pointless debates. Hence, he decided to change it topic.
Primis: So, what was you shouting for?
Hestia: Huh? Right, I forget that.
Next, she gazed seriously at Primis.
Hestia: Did you give them a drug or tonic of something?
Primis: Not really.
Hestia: Then how do you explain this?
Hestia presented both the papers which contained Lili and Haruhime updated status to Primis. Though, he didn't need to look at it because when Hestia updated their status then it also appeared in his system information panel. But he still took them.
'Primis: To be honest, even I never expected "Potential Release" to lead to such results.'
Primis gaze fell on the papers on his hand, and he saw Lili and Haruhime's new stats.

Primis: Amazing, isn't it? They reached max Level 1. Means Level 2 in just two days. It's a world record.
Hestia: ......…
'Hestia: Well, it is a world record I can't deny that. Many didn't even go beyond Level 1 for years. Still, Level 2 in two days. This is sick.'
As Hestia was in her thoughts, Primis was also thinking about something.
'Primis: It's really shocking. Even the Bell Cranel took one month to reach Level 2. Even I took few months. Going by this logic, they surpassed both of us. Shouldn't I be proud of them?'
[Don't compare them with the Hero of this world. He has the help of the "Will of the World". As for you, if you don't have to face five times/5x penalty and SSS-3,000 limit per level then I am sure you would have reached Level 2 in just few hours instead of months.]
'Primis: I guess you're right.'
[I am definitely right. If someone else need to face Five times/5x penalty and SSS-3,000 limit per level, then they won't even be able to reach Level 2 for their entire lifetime. Why? Because your stats will keep on increasing as you fight but they must update their status every time.]
Primis narrowed his eyes and won't deny that. His limit is 3,000 stats per level. 3,000 means 3 max Level Adventurers. Then there are 5 stats means 15 max level Adventurers. On top of that, 5x penalty. Means 5 x 15 = 75. So, at every level the amount of Excelia he needs is equal to 75 max Level Adventures of same level.
Since Primis was someone who just kept on doing one thing after another without much rest, it's not a big problem. However, that's not the case for others. If someone told you that the Excelia you need to max your current level is compared to the 75 Adventurers of same level, then that person will definitely go insane. That time that person would rather prefer being a civilian than an Adventurers.
As for why Primis was able to reach Level 2 in few months, it's because its "Level 1". Hence the Excelia it required to reach next Level was a lot less compared to higher levels.
And for his permanent Members, there limit is 2,000 stats per level with Three times/3x penalty. So, 2,000 means 2 same level max Adventurers. Since there are five stats means 10 same level max Adventurers. And with Three times/3x penalty means 3 x 10 = 30. So, they need 30 same level max Adventurers worth Excelia. Less than half of what Primis needs.
Primis shook his head and put it at the back of his head for now.
Primis: Anyway, I gave you three days to complete the manufacturing of their weapons. However, since they reach Level 2 in two days instead of three, I won't take them to dungeon tomorrow. I have something else in mind. After that they can relax for rest of the day.
Hestia came out of her thoughts and nodded. She was worried that Primis will told her to increase their Level. Now that he even said that he will let them rest tomorrow, Hestia took a sigh of relief. She then smiled and turned to Lili and Haruhime.
Hestia: Lili. Haruhime. I don't know what Primis planned for both of you tomorrow, but I am sure he will let you both rest more. So, during that time rest properly and don't start training on your own. Just rest, ok?
Both nodded at Hestia words.
Primis: Alright, one more thing. There are two more people who will join your Familia. They are currently in "Raven Sight". Once you will return, given them your blessings.
Hestia: Hmm......
Hestia didn't answer right away. She narrowed her eyes before speaking.
Hestia: Since you are the one who brought them, they can't be normal.
Primis: Well, one of them was the commander of the Familia she was in before, so she has good commanding skills.
Hestia nodded and waited for Primis to continue.
Primis: While the other is......…
Hestia: Is...…
Primis didn't answer. He turned and looked at Lili and Haruhime. Understanding his meaning, they both took the paper which had their updated status and excused themselves. Once they were out of the range of hearing, he turned to Hestia again and continued.
Primis: She is a Seer.
Hestia: .........
Hestia stopped all her movements when she heard that. After some time, she put a finger in her ears to check whether there's something in them because she felt like she was hearing things.
Hestia: I am sorry. She is what?
Primis: A Seer.
Confirming Primis words, she sighed before a solemn look appeared on her face.
Hestia: I don't know how stumble upon such 'unique' people, but we can't let this information be known to others.
Primis: That's why I grabbed you for such matters.
Hestia lips twitched hearing that.
'Hestia: Grabbed me for such matters? It feels more like you are throwing all the problem stuff at me to handle. Can't I for one get a normal person in my Familia? Even though he said the other person was just commander of previous Familia, I am sure that she won't be normal either.'
Well, Hestia was not wrong here. It's true that Daphne's a commander but was also a best conversation killer. She's direct and cutting when it came to speaking. She was unwilling to waste time on unnecessary talk, so she tended to get to the point and finish her conversations quickly. She was also quite frank and was not afraid to be honest even if it could be painful. She was also a very serious and no-nonsense person. In other words, a bad match for talking person like Hestia.
Primis: Well, that's that. You can see them later. For now, concentrate on manufacturing of the weapons.
Hestia: Mn. Later then.
Primis: Before you go, here.
Swoosh!!
Primis threw something at Hestia. Hestia caught it and looked at it. It was a normal water bottle. However, the water inside it was cold. Hestia touched the bottle on her face and started laughing.
Hestia: Ehehe. It's really good.
'Primis: Well, I already knew how much difficult it's for you stay in that burning hot room of blacksmith. Yet, you didn't even complaint for once. As a reward, I will make a big feast for you once you both are done.'
Primis only said those words in this mind so that it won't distract Hestia from her work till tomorrow. After some time, Hestia who was laughing while hugging the cold-water bottle came out of her thoughts. She showed an extreme big smile and approached Primis.
Hestia: Ehehe, Primis~.
Primis: ......…
Hestia: Primisssss~~~.
Primis: ......…
Hestia: Primisssssssssss~~~~~~
Primis: What?
Primis said in lazy tone.
Hestia: Can you also give me something cold to eat too?
Primis: ......
Hestia: Primissssssssssssssssss~~~~~~~~
Primis: Can I have the bottle back?
Hestia: ......…
Hestia stepped back hastily while hugging the bottle as tightly as if it was a treasure. Then she showed a smile and said.
Hestia: Looks Hephaestus needs by help. I heard her calling me just now. Bye bye.
Primis kept on staring at Hestia as she ran back into the workshop. He then shook his head.
Primis: At least find a better excuse next time.
[Hephaestus, calling her. Like she even has the time to check whether Hestia was still in the room with her or not.]
Primis then turned around and walked away. After walking for some time, he joined up with Lili and Haruhime.
Primis: I sure you both would have never imagined to be able to reach Level 2 in just two days.
They both nodded at Primis words. It came shocking to them when Hestia updated their stats and they realized they had the max of their current Level.
Lili: It still feels like a dream. Before I thought I didn't have what it takes to become an Adventurer. That's why I decided to become a supporter but now. It's really unbelievable.
Haruhime also nodded at Lili reply. She also never thought that she will go beyond Level 1 and will spend rest of her being a prostitute. But it all changed because of one person. She looked at Primis with her sweetest smile.
Lili: Actually, I want to ask something.
Primis: Go on.
Lili: From what I know, the limit of the stat is S-999. Why do we have SS-1000? I have never heard of SS rank before.
Primis: I will explain it tomorrow when you both will get your weapons. I am sure Hestia was also curious about it but decided to ask later since she knew that they are tight on schedule.
Lili: Ok.
Haruhime: Husband, should we tell this to them?
Primis: Ryuu and others, sure. They are trustworthy.
Lili: What about the other two?
Primis: It's fine. Since they didn't know your previous level, they will come to conclusion that you both were already reaching Level 2. Ryuu and others will definitely not reveal the truth so its fine.
Haruhime: Ok.
Primis: Now then.
Primis turned his gaze at horizon as sun was setting.
Primis: With this, yet another day came to an end. I suppose.
