Chapitre 24: Can We Prepare for Level Up?
Except for the leaders and executives of the Loki Familia, no one else knows what's happening in the Loki Room.
However, starting today, Familia members were surprised to learn that the executives had been stimulated for an unknown reason.
Bete, Tiona, Tione, and even Ais, who suddenly became quieter than before, reduced their appearances at Twilight Mansion significantly. They went out every morning; there was no looting at the usual time, and they even ignored the celebration feast after returning from expeditions.
This confused many Loki Familia members and sparked numerous discussions.
"What's happening with the executives?"
"Why are they going out every day lately?"
"Is there something important that needs to be dealt with?"
"I heard someone witnessed the executives entering the dungeon before dawn and only returning late at night. Are they suddenly angry and striving for self-improvement?"
"But why?"
Everyone was full of questions, and even those who asked the three leaders received more confusing answers.
"They just feel pressure; let it be."
This was the straightforward statement thrown by the three leaders, leaving Loki Familia members a bit bewildered after receiving the news.
"Pressure?"
"Are the executives still under pressure?"
"Who could be pressuring them?"
This was the most confusing part.
Unfortunately, the leaders had no intention of explaining; they just smiled and revealed this to the executives, leaving concerned Familia members to suppress doubts in their hearts.
Riegel also knew about this, and though he was a bit surprised, he wasn't shocked.
As Loki had said, knowing that there were cheaters pursuing from behind, anyone even slightly motivated and competitive would feel pressure, especially the already genius executives.
Unlike the Three Veterans who were older and more experienced, it couldn't be denied that they were still a bit competitive and unwilling to admit defeat.
In terms of age, the executives were still young.
For example, Tiona and Tione, the Amazoness twin sisters, despite being first-class level 5 adventurers, were only 17 years old, the same age as Riegel in this life.
Ais, the strongest swordswoman in Orario and the fastest Level 2 achiever, was only 16 years old this year, one year younger than Riegel in this life.
Bete was a bit older, already 22 years old this year, but compared to the three leaders, he was still young.
Finn, who looked like a human child, was 42 years old this year, and Gareth was 56. As a long-lived Elf, Riveria was mentioned as the oldest in the entire Loki Familia, second only to Loki. No one dared to ask specific numbers, afraid that, if not careful, they would be burned to ashes by the strongest sorceress in Orario.
Compared to leaders like that, Ais and the other executives were still young, which was why Gareth complained.
In such a situation, even though Riegel was a newcomer, he was in the same age group as Ais and the others.
In this regard, it was reasonable for them to be considered rivals.
Although Riegel knew that if his age in his previous life were considered, he would undoubtedly be the oldest among the executives. Among the Familia, he might only be younger than the three leaders. But in the eyes of outsiders, he was undoubtedly still a young junior.
This stimulated the competitive spirit of many talented young people.
"Loki clearly knew it would turn out like this, so she deliberately used me to provoke them, right?"
Riegel understood this but didn't mind.
It was reasonable for the God of the Familia to want her children to work harder and make more progress.
If his joining could stimulate the geniuses in the Familia and make them work harder, that would undoubtedly be a good thing.
Of course, considering Loki's character, she probably still wanted to watch the excitement and have fun.
Therefore, Riveria protested against Loki for a while, making her apologize until her anger subsided.
Riegel actually overheard Loki saying something.
"The only thing I need to worry about is Ais-tan. If that girl accidentally gives her excessive stimulation and does something reckless, I'll probably have my head blown off by Riveria's staff."
Riegel responded to Loki's words seriously.
Because he also knew that since learning the details of his abilities, Ais's mood seemed to be a bit unstable.
Initially not very good at expressing her feelings and appearing a bit cold, she was nicknamed the Puppet Princess by others. She was usually very silent, making it difficult for people to understand her thoughts.
After that day, Ais not only became quieter but also went out earlier and returned late all day. Every time she returned, she was dirty.
Riegel felt a bit worried about this.
After all, he knew exactly what kind of person Ais Wallenstein was and what tragic desires were in her heart.
When he asked Ais to teach him magic before, Riegel realized it and said it.
"I really want to become strong quickly."
This sentence could also be said to be the biggest portrayal of Ais's innermost thoughts.
With the appearance of those words, Ais would be touched and willing to teach him magic.
Therefore, Riegel knew very well that a girl named Ais Wallenstein, like him, wanted to become stronger.
If his own growth stimulated this girl and made her do something reckless, then Riegel himself would feel uneasy.
After all, she was his mentor who taught him magic and even sword skills. Riegel really didn't want Ais to lose her sanity because of being stimulated by him.
So, he decided to talk to Loki about this issue.
However, Loki seemed indifferent.
"Don't worry, I have a sense of balance in my heart."
In the god's room at night, Loki chatted while updating Riegel's abilities as usual.
"Finn and I know how messy Ais-san is. They must be watching her. It hasn't reached the point where you need to worry about it."
There was no worry on Loki's face, only a relaxed expression. One hand circled Riegel's back, and the other held a wine bottle. She drank sip by sip until her face turned red.
"Do you think you can understand her?"
Riegel ignored the drunkard and just asked while furrowing his brows.
"Okay." Loki smiled drunkenly and said, "When I can't stand it anymore, Mama-san will be able to help stop her."
This Mama-san referred to Riveria, right?
Indeed, as the eldest in Loki Familia, Riveria had a gentle side not found in ordinary royal families, and her concern for the younger generation could be said to be the greatest among the Familia leaders.
She was like a mother who watched over many people in the Familia, especially Ais. She could be said to be the child raised by Riveria since childhood, and there was basically no difference from her biological daughter.
Even showing gentleness and concern to Riegel, who had just joined the Familia, should be the person silently paying the most attention to Ais's current condition.
"Good!"
As Riegel was deep in thought, Loki's weak voice was heard.
"These are the latest ability scores."
Loki handed him the parchment.
Riegel took it and looked at it.
...
[Riegel Brehaut]
[Level 1]
[Strength: D555 → C678]
[Endurance: D548 → C666]
[Agility: C623 → B772]
[Dexterity: C637 → B793]
[Magic Power: I0 → F314]
...
"Tsk tsk, another excessive growth."
Loki drank it with a frown, not knowing if she wanted to get drunk so she wouldn't feel numb from Riegel's growth speed, or if she was genuinely used to it, with a smile on her face.
"All skill scores have increased by more than 850 points, especially the growth in Magic Power that could scare people to death. You've been using Ais-tan's magic a lot lately, haven't you?"
Loki clicked her tongue in surprise.
She was right.
To develop Magic Power, Riegel had truly focused on practicing magic lately and used a lot of incantation.
And the facts proved that his choice to learn Ais's magic from the beginning was undoubtedly a wise move.
The additional magic from ultra-short incantation was very convenient and easy to use, taking only a second to activate. Unlike other magic, its effect disappeared immediately after being detonated.
The additional magic effect would last for some time and wouldn't expire immediately.
During this period, Riegel was equivalent to using magic all the time.
The frequent use of magic like that naturally provided feedback on the growth of Magic Power. Coupled with the characteristics of the additional magic itself, even if magic was used, one still had to attack and fight at close range. This also considered training other skills, playing a role in advancing both goals, and Riegel did not lag behind in the improvement of any aspect.
"However, the growth rate of other abilities is still slowing down."
Riegel said this hesitantly.
"Satisfied, you naughty boy." Loki rolled her eyes and said angrily, "No matter how far your abilities go. If you don't slow down, we'll all suspect that you're not human. You're an illegitimate child of some god."
According to the principle that the closer to the S level, the slower the growth of basic abilities. Now that Riegel had two abilities that had reached the B level, the growth of basic abilities would naturally not be as fast as before.
It would decrease, and it made perfect sense.
"By the way, with your current situation, you might be ready to level up soon, right?"
Loki held a wine bottle, stared at Riegel, and said something.
"How about it? Any ideas?"
Hearing this, Riegel thought hard.
