"Get the angel drops,"
"*sigh*... What a feisty student we've roped in," A woman with black hair said as she slowly phased out of the shadows into the corner of the room
"M-Miss?! What are you doing here?! N-No, why didn't you stop him?!" My sister exclaimed, but the woman just gave her a cold glare before walking over to the goblin's corpse and reaching out her hand.
Dark hands made of shadows dragged him into an unknown abyss below him, never to be seen again.
She then pulled out a vial of golden liquid and sprayed it across the entire bed, causing all the blood to evaporate into thin air as if it was never even there in the first place.
"Also, where is my rune set? Aren't you supposed to give it to me? That's the main reason why I even came here in the first place,"
"We are currently in the process of shipping it. Just wait a few days, and we'll get it to you, but in the meantime, how about I let you use the school's dungeon. I'm sure you'll be bored without it… and don't worry about your siblings. We'll be taking care of them as well,"
"Tch… Alright. You better keep your word," I muttered, and my sister turned to look at me with a sweaty expression.
"W-What do you mean siblings? Do you mean us?"
"I have some people who I'm much closer with from the orphanage. So, don't bug me anymore and let me do my own thing. I'll take care of anybody who threatens me, so no need to try and play the role of a big sister now,"
My sister's face melted with sorrow as she heard me utter these words, but now, I could honestly care less about her.
The only thing I have on my mind is becoming the head of the family, and creating connections with her will only bog me down.
"We'll send you the location of the dungeon, and don't worry. It's an E-Rank, so you won't have to worry about it closing on you,"
"I see… Thank you very much. I will now take my leave,"
…
The next morning, I made sure my siblings were all fine and sleeping well, which of course, they were, as nobody would dare to attack this place now.
I can already feel the presence of a few assassins monitoring this room, so blackmailing me with my siblings is impossible now.
After taking a shower and getting changed, I got a text message from an unknown number, telling me the location of the dungeon, which was a Mana Slime Lake.
The Mana Slime Lake is probably the most basic E-Rank dungeon out there, but it also provides tons of XP, especially due to the surplus of slimes that continue to come out of the lake.
Once I had grabbed a bag of supplies, I made my way to the exit, of course being trailed by hundreds of eyes.
"I'm having fun," I muttered with a large smile.
…
"Oh wow… There are tons of people here," I muttered as I looked at the crowd of hundreds of students going in and out of the dungeon.
There were even some newbie parties going about, and within the dungeon were a few guards who made sure to break up any fight possible.
This is due to a rule known as "What happens in the dungeon, stays in the dungeon," and you can't argue against it.
The dungeon is like a separate world where it is monitored by a supreme being that overlooks all. And this god doesn't care about much.
"Alright, it's been a while since I've faced a mana slime," I muttered before creating a bit of water and then shaping it into the form of an arrow.
Slimes all have a core, and generally, if you used a weapon, you would have to cut through that core in order to kill the slime… but with magic, it's much easier.
You create your choice of spell, fire it at the slime, and then,
BOOOOM
The slime exploded into thousands of jelly-like pieces and the ringing of XP slowly coming in was sweet to the ear.
Killing slimes may not be the high-octane action people look for when they enter a dungeon, but this is a good starting point as they can still be dangerous if you're not careful.
For example… In the distance, there is somebody being crowded by a few slimes, and nobody cares to help.
Some guards are already running to help her, but they'll be too late as she'll most likely receive some nasty burns that'll discourage her away from coming back here again.
FWOOSH
I sent an arrow that burst through three of the slimes, and the rest were blown back, saving the girl from being burned alive.
Right now, I could help out some of these newbies and gain their trust.
Plus, some of the nobles here don't look as bad as the ones relaxing in the school, being lazy, and not doing anything.
They're actually trying to get better and are even asking for advice from some of the others… whether that be a front or not doesn't matter to me, though, as getting their support wouldn't be too bad.
If they betray me, though, of course, the answer is obvious.
"Hi, hi, hi… So basically, what you're going to want to do is focus on the spell, not your staff. You're staring at your staff, hoping to do something, but if you want to use a basic skill that is an attack skill, then you'll have to focus," I said while walking over to a guy with short blond hair and knife-like ears.
He was clearly an elf who was struggling with magic, and judging from his powerful staff, I could guess he was from a wealthy family.
I did this multiple times while killing some slimes myself in order to actually level up as well.
But soon, I encountered somebody much more talented than I initially thought.
