## Hidden Dungeon
A months ago we found this abandoned area around our orphanage. Mainly a old hospital. Surrounded by quite a bit of forestry and vegetation.
The place is very run down as entry here is very restricted. But because no one really come here any way, no one monitors this place.
And in this unmonitored place Ely some how had found a dungeon.
Yes i am not joking, a full fledged dungeon.
It is located right blow the hospital in the underground parking lot. It should be a pretty new dungeon as there aren't any monsters spilling out of it.
And of course Ely being Ely wanted to beat this dungeon.
The dungeon is a semi spherical shaped portal that is exuding a brown aura.
According to the characteristics this dungeon shows, we concluded this dungeon is around D rank.
And According to what i know 3 tailed foxes are C rank. Meaning we can easily beat this dungeon.
The only thing me and Ely are waiting for is the weekend as going in willy nilly might make the teachers worried.
We are not sure how long it would take us to clear it. But clearing a dungeon and obtaining the dungeon core would be very beneficial.

## Figure it Out
"Hup!" I dodged a frost fire. But the next moment Ely was there with a rod embedded with frost fire.
"Epp!!!" I fell on my butt, due to the how abruptly she appeared there.
"You are so weak." Ely commented.
"I am not weak you are just too aggressive." I protested.
Ely came and sat beside me. "So, how long are we gonna stay in this orphanage?" She asked.
"What do you mean?"
"You do realize that we can't always be here. We are monsters. And people in this world hate monsters with a burning passion. It doesn't help the fact that we don't grow older." Hearing Ely's word, she does have a point. Monsters don't grow old. The only way for a monster to grow is to evolve.
"Let's stay for another few months. We can find somewhere after wards." Ely gave me a the suspisioned look. I mean i get it, i am the one who is insisting on living here. And Ely just wants to live in a dungeon or a forest or something.
"Oh, come on now, don't get mad... remember i told you we can absorb human knowledge to get stronger." I tried to pursue.
"What about it? We don't seem to be getting stronger here."
"Well let's go to one of those academies. Remember the ones teacher told us about?" In this world, to fend off monsters there are various academies who train people. There are mainly two kinds of academies, the military academies, funded by the military, and the machinery academies, funded by individuals, companies. We can get in to one of those and then Ely can fight all she wants.
"But..." Ely seemed to have noticed the problem. We don't look old enough for that.
"We need to find a way to evolve and make our bodies grow older." Which is the problem.
"We can see later where we can level up, okay?"
"Fine." Ely seems grumpy but she is gullible.
"Anyway, did you figure out anything about our new ability?" I asked. It's been a month. But we still haven't gotten anything on our new mysterious ability.
"Nothing. It just vanishes when it reaches the nose area." hearing Ely i fell in to deep thought.
"What does it need to activate the ability."
"dunno."
"Maybe there is a piece to the puzzle we are missing. Maybe try thinking out of the box?" I commented.
Ely seem to be trying to do so.
"Uh, maybe..." Suddenly Ely seems to have an epiphany.
"Did you get something?" I became curious.
"Yeah, i maybe its..."
*Crack!*
Suddenly our ears picked up something.
"Someone's coming!" Before i could finish my word some familiar figure appeared in front of us.

### Third person POV
Three children were walking along the forest,
"Urgh, are you sure they went to the hospital?"
"Yeah, but...Betty, why you so obsessed with the sisters do!" A scrawny girl said.
"Shut up. That Ely girl is so irritating. She acts all high and mighty. She is leading her sister astray by not letting her make friends." Betty seemed insistent.
"But Betty... why are you so insistent on making friends with Sia. You can't even tell them apart." The plump girl said panting due to walking for so long.
"Hmph of course i can tell them apart." Betty's eye's sparkled. "Sia is so mature and elegant. She is like an adult. Even with her broken accent." Then her face contorted. "Unlike that haughty punk girl who picks fight with boys. That bitch is making my Sia go astray." Betty complained.
The other two girl didn't dare to say anything realizing Betty wasn't in the best of moods.

### Sia POV
*Crack!*
"Urgh, why is it so cold here!" I saw two figures appear here through the front door. The were the same girls that previously invited me to go out with them.
"Oh!" They immediately stopped upon seeing me and Ely sitting on the floor.
"Hi!" I said awkwardly.
The girls shaking with cold seemed to also not finding any words.
However, the girl in the front seemed to have gotten a little courage as she pointed at me.
"Ely i challenge you to a..."
"Wait wait, wait." I stopped her. "I am not Ely." I then pointed at Ely "She is Ely."
The other girl seemed a little taken aback. But she quickly recollected herself. She then turned to the real Ely.
"Ely i challenge you to a dual. Fight me fair and square." The girl shouted.
Sigh, it's just some childish banter.
"Oh, then come on at me." Ely said.
"Wait you are gonna fight a child!" I exclaimed.
"Hehe, you might not know, i already awakened my ability." The other girl said with a smug face. 'Oh, if she has awakened her ability, then maybe...' The next moment she started started manipulating the air. and small breeze formed on her hand.
"You cannot fight her with just that!"
"Heh, bring it on!" Ely brought out her metal rod.
"Hey, hey , hey. why are you getting serious. She is gonna die!"
"Then bring it on!" The other girl shouted.
*Foosh!*
A gigantic blue flame rose from Ely's metal rod taking the shape of a gigantic sword. The surrounding temperature instantly dropped. Everything started freezing.
"Eeep!!!" The girl who was challenging Ely fell on her butt. She seemed scared. The other two girls behind her also ran and took shelter behind the door.
"Hehe, now where is your pri..."
*Bonk!*
"Ow!" The flames dissipated with my bonk on Ely's head.
"Stop scaring children!"
I then ran to the little girl that had fallen on the floor. She is still shaking.
"Are you alright." I checked up on her.
"Huuu, bu hu...." The girl immediately hugged me and started crying.
"Hey, you dont hug her. Only i can do that!" I heard Ely's remark from behind.
"Stop your blabbering, or i will hit you again." I shouted back.
"Sia...boho... Sia. hat was so scary!... buhu."
"There there. Good children don't cry." I consoled her.
*Crack!*
"Hm?" As i was consoling the girl i suddenly herd cracking noises. As i looked down, i realized the floor that was frozen was cracking.
"..."
*Boom!*
The floor broke tilting in a weird angle. the pillar in the middle of the room broke taking making a hole in the middle of the hall.
"Eep!" The girl in my arms seemed scared.
"Don't worry, just grab on to me." I said. Down bellow should be ground floor. I think i can make it.
"Why is there a dungeon portal bellow!" TO my horror just down bellow us is the dungeon portal laying fault.
"This is bad." Before i could do anything me and the girl fell. I couldn't do much because i was already holding the girl in my hand.
Before falling into the dungeon i last saw Ely jumping towards me in to the dungeon as well.

### Third person POV
"Eeep this is bad they fell!" A chubby girl and a scrawny girl panicked.
"We have to tell the teacher." They immediately ran towards their orphanage.
