Chapter- 25
—--------------
"But isn't he the blind boy who met a week before at the hostess of fertility with goddess Hestia??" Tiona asked this as he remembered the boy as she had seen him before.
Even though her memory is not that good but it's hard to forget about the black-haired handsome boy with a blindfold.
"But isn't he blind? Then how can he fight like that?" Tiona asked this with a confused face after seeing the way he fights.
Hearing this, all of them looked at riveria since she is the oldest and experienced once.
She is also equally confused but she remembered her goddess Loki's words from that time
Riveria thought at that time her Goddess was saying that playfully but now it seems she was serious at that time.
She could only say with a small smile "it's looks like we can't judge a good by its cover".
Listening to her words, tiona expressed a confused face since she is working with her hands, not with her brain.
But unlike tiona; ais and lefiya who have brains able to understand what riveria was talking about.
Yuno, who had already sensed their presence from the start, was already his hands full with the monsters and he didn't want to repeat the same mistake by distracting himself.
He originally thought that these high-level adventurers naturally didn't pay any attention to me, who is a newbie level 1 adventurer but against his expectations they came to him to observe him.
After noticing this, he planned to move out after finishing these 2 monsters.
But suddenly more monsters popped out, and this became irritating to him. He then finally uses conqueror haki to make them unconscious and then finally kills them.
After killing them, he planned to quickly and quietly collect the magic stones after all he even needed them.
"Hyyyy!!! Wait up!" Tiona shouted as she excitedly ran towards him.
'Crap' inwardly thought he messed up, he wanted to run away but her speed was much faster than his.
Before he could even run, she was already standing in front of him.
"You were an amazing boy!!" She said this excitedly as her eyes shone brightly in front of him while she shook his hands fiercely.
"!!!" He gets startled when she suddenly grabs his hands before even his observation haki can detect her.
"How did you do it!?" Tiona asked this without any hesitation not realising that she is invading someone's privacy.
Yuno doesn't know what to say to her after all he can't tell her about his skills because it's one of his secrets if he tells her it will not be good for himself and his goddess.
Not to mention her goddess already has enough headaches because of soma familia.
Luckily for yuno, before tiona continues to pressure him, riveria comes behind tiona and grabs her ear with her hand.
"Tiona can't you see? that you are troubling him," riveria said while pulling her ear.
"So-sorry" tiona apologise with tears in her eyes.
Riveria stops pulling her ear and then looks towards the boy as she speaks "Sorry about this, when she gets too excited about something she couldn't think with her head"
"N-no, it's alright. '' Yuno said this while shaking his head.
"But yeah, it was impressive you can fight that many monsters alone but even more impressive that you can fight that well without seeing," riveria said seriously as she mean what she said.
"Yeah, you are strong" ais also said with a solemn tone while lefiya also nodded her head in agreement.
"Yeah, thank you", Yuno said with a smile while he picked up the magic stones.
"By the way um-yuno, how long has been since you became an adventurer?" Tiona asked as she releases herself from riveria.
"Hmmm… near 10 days I guess" yuno replied as he finished picking up all the loot from the ground.
He wishes inside his head his template system to give him some skill that helps him to pick up these things on his own and store them because now it becomes a nuisance to him to pick them up every time after killing a monster.
Something like video game inventory is heard from his previous life.
"Are you joking with us?? little brother?" Tiona asked this with a speechless face.
Meanwhile, all of them have faces like they don't believe even a little bit of what he said.
"No, I am serious," Yuno said with an innocent face.
As he stands up, he notices someone staring so intensely straight at him.
"U-mm Do you need something?" Yuno asked this as he took one step back.
Ais without replying looked straight into his blindfold and took one step forward towards him.
"Spar with me," said this in a solemn tone while not taking eyes off him.
Meanwhile, yuno mind become blank after hearing what she said but even though her tone was flat, he can feel some excitement in her voice.
Tiona and riveria looked at ais with a stunned expression while Lefiya showed an extremely jealous face looking at yuno.
"What happened to Ais!?" Tiona asked to riveria in a worried tone after all this is the first time she has seen so active towards the stranger on her own.
Riveria also think for a while then replied "Hmmm….maybe after watching his fight, he ignite competitive flames inside ais"
"After all nobody near her age can even touch her because of this she wants to compete with him to enjoy herself"
Tiona also nodded her head understanding the situation.
"But.….you are much higher level than myself," yuno said as he knows the boundaries of levels.
"Don't worry, I will control my strength" ais replied in the same flat tone which is not accepting any excuse.
Yuno thought for a while after hearing that and replied "Fine but not now maybe tomorrow since I am already tired from fighting now"
"Ok" agrees with his condition since it's already unreasonable for her to make him fight her.
"Then tomorrow morning meet me at the entrance of the dungeon," she said as she returned to the place where she previously stood.
"Thank you for agreeing to her unreasonable reason" riveria speaks as she comes near him.
"It's ok, since it also benefits me too" yuno replied while shaking her head.
That's true since he agreed to her request mainly because of 2 reasons-
First, he needs to fight some real human adventurers instead of some brainless monsters to gain experience in real combat maybe it will also help him to speed up his template progress too.
The second reason is that he may have a war game with Soma familia in future. he needs experience in fighting with real adventurers who is above his level.
"By the way what are you all doing here?" Yuno asked this as he know there is no need for high-level adventurers to be on this floor.
"We were just passing by here but when she heard someone fighting she straight ran here" riveria replied while she pointed at tiona.
"Hehe~ you can't blame me after all if it wasn't for me then we can't able to see this" tiona said while giggling like she is proud of what she did.
reverie dead stare at her making tiona unconsciously shivers.
After talking for a while they separated in their ways.
Yuno goes to another location to hunt while Loki's familia goes deeper into the dungeon.
After talking to them for a while, he comes to know they are all interesting individuals
But not in a bad way, except for bete of course.
He is the one Yuno finds the most annoying.
Riveria is a rather calm and patient type of person.
Tiona is the type of person who likes to use her hands rather than her brain.
For ais, he is rather confused. He can't tell anything about her other than she is the quiet one but he feels uncomfortable when she constantly stares at him.
Even though he can't see, he can feel by his observation haki what's happening outside.
But the thing he found the most confusing is about lefiya, he can feel by his observation of haki's emotions like extreme jealousy and envy towards himself even though he didn't do anything to gain her jealousy.
Before continuing his hunt he checks his template system
[ Name- Yuno ]
[ Current template- Blind Admiral ]
[ Template progress- 67.38% + 2.08%]
[ Abilities- Gravity, Advanced Observation Haki, Advanced Armament Haki, Advanced Conqueror Haki ]
[ Daily task- 100 push-ups, 10 km run and 1000 vertical slashes ( completed ) ]
After he spent a few more hours on that floor grinding.
After he exited the dungeon to see Sun hasn't set yet, then moved towards the guild to exchange the loot.
On the way back home, when he was crossing the alley.
His observation haki catches something abnormal in the deep alley.
*step* *step* *step* *step*
He slowly goes into the alley with heavy steps, while he observes the unique aura which has countless colours in it.
He reaches the end where the aura is coming from.
There was something wrapped in cloth laying on the ground.
