บท 9: After-party reflection 2
"But, I'm curious about her Race. High-Human? I've never heard of that before."
Gareth stared at Loki as he asked, as if wanting to seek more information on this matter.
Supposedly, the parchment containing the individual's status did not record the name of one's Race. But, if the Deity affiliated with that individual wanted to, they could indicate the individual's Race like Loki was doing now.
"Hmm, I seem to have read about this before."
Riveria's words made Finn and Gareth naturally stare at her.
"You know something, Riveria?" Finn asked.
"Let me recall..., it seems that High-Humans are not much different from the ordinary Human Race, what distinguishes them is; High-Humans have a high affinity with Magic, different from ordinary Humans, and they generally have a long life span, around 1,000 years. "
Riveria closed her eyes, while her mind focused on remembering every detail of the book she had read a few years ago in Alf's Royal Forest.
"Forget the race, I'm even more interested in what happened to that boy before he arrived here. To get 4 skills right away, especially since all of his skills are so absurd, it must not be an easy thing, right?"
Loki pondered with a general expression, just like Magic, it is not easy for someone to have skills, it is not even uncommon for there to be level 4 adventurers who have no skills or magic at all.
To get skills, of course, there are triggers; for example, ambition, through training, mental conditions and one's health.
Take it, there is someone who has a severe illness, and when he receives falna, it is possible that he will have skills related to his illness. And of course, those are dangerous skills, which might threaten his life at any time.
If that was the case, there should have been a condition that triggered Kelvin to awaken these three skills at once when receiving the falna. And that was what made the four of them curious.
"Alright, forget about Kelvin's past. What we should do now is support the boy. I'm worried that, because of his passion for fighting, he might overexert himself and put a strain on his body."
Finn clapped his hands, remembering when Kelvin had told them that he liked fighting with strong opponents.
It had also been confirmed by Riveria, if Kelvin enjoyed fighting monsters when they were in the dungeon earlier.
"The matter of raw power, that kid is above average. Even his physical strength alone is comparable to a mid-level level 2."
Gareth crossed his arms as he nodded his head several times.
"We can train her tomorrow morning, I can probably ask Raul or Aki to help her train. But, I think Ais is quite interested in Kelvin from my observations. Should I assign her too?"
Riveria asked as she looked at Finn. As the Captain of the Familia, Finn had the responsibility to take care of everything in the Familia, including this.
She also remembered when Ais nominated herself to be able to watch over Kelvin in the Dungeon. Riveria also didn't miss Ais' gaze that was fixated on Kelvin's ever-changing way of fighting.
"It's unusual for Ais to be interested in other people. Is it related to Kelvin's power?"
Finn looked at Riveria for confirmation.
"I think so. Although Ais' level is higher than Kelvin's, but she's currently stagnating where her growth rate has only slightly increased since the last expedition. It's possible that she wants to practice her swordsmanship as well as learn Kelvin's fighting style."
Riveria closed her eyes, remembering when Ais was so focused on Kelvin earlier.
Although Ais barely said anything, but Riveria knew she had many questions to ask, but she didn't know where to start.
"I think we can ask her to train with Kelvin as well. It could keep Ais busy to prevent her from going to the Dungeon alone."
Finn nodded, agreeing to Riveria's proposal.
"Eh?! You guys want to pair up my Ais-tan with that boy?! No! I don't agree to it! What if my Ais-tan is interested in that boy?! No! I won't accept it!"
Loki who heard their conversation raised her voice as she complained while rolling on the floor.
"Stop that, Loki. You yourself also know Kelvin's growth is important to our Family!"
Riveria groaned. Although they were a powerful Familia, but their Goddess was extremely unreliable for example like right now.
"Besides, I'm not sure Ais would be interested in Kelvin romantically."
Finn added.
"But, but-oh! What are you doing, Mama?!"
Loki was about to argue, but Riveria suddenly hit her head with her magic wand. Making her hold her head and stare at Riveria dissatisfiedly.
"Stop that! And, don't call me Mama!"
Riveria shouted in dissatisfaction.
While they were discussing this, the teenager in question had no idea that she was a hot topic among the three top executives, and was just enjoying her sleep comfortably for the first time in this world.
******
The next day, early morning.
The sun had just begun to rise, and Kelvin woke up when the sunlight hit his face.
He lifted his body in a daze, as his open eyes showed bright blue pupils, which seemed to be in the shape of five petals in his eyes.
"Oh, I almost forgot about it. I'm at Twilight Manor, 'ya ...."
He muttered softly, as he took a long cloth and wrapped it around his eyes.
Yesterday, after leaving with Riveria and Ais, Kelvin immediately took a shower and went to his room, which was on one of the upper floors in Twilight Manor.
Getting out of bed, the first thing Kelvin saw was the sun that had just risen from behind the window. According to the time, it should still be very early in the morning, and probably many of the other members were still sleeping in their respective rooms.
"Perfect time for practice."
Since many of them were still sleeping, it meant more room to move freely. The courtyard became empty, and Kelvin could monopolize it for training for a while.
After stretching his muscles, Kelvin opened the door and walked out of his room.
As the home of Loki Familia, the various towers that made up Twilight Manor were interconnected. The lower parts of some towers were connected, while the upper parts were extended into stone corridors connecting the towers. From the outside, it looked like an intricate network of passages between the towers, lacking any order.
Kelvin walked in one of the aerial corridors, which offered a view of the courtyard below.
"As I expected, there are almost no people at the moment."
Walking along the corridor, Kelvin did not cross paths with the other members of his Familia at all. According to Loki, they were supposed to select more than 50 members, as well as some cooks and workers in charge of cleaning the Manor.
In this case, Kelvin only crossed paths with the employees in charge of cleaning, and occasionally the Cooks who seemed to be preparing food for breakfast.
"Oh, aren't you the new member from yesterday?"
"Uh, really?"
Two Amazon girls suddenly came up to Kelvin as they looked at him curiously.
The first was a beautiful girl with tanned skin, a tall and slender body, with long black hair and dark green eyes.
Meanwhile, she was wearing a very revealing outfit that only covered a little of her body.
While the second one had a similar appearance, they were twins in particular, and the difference between them was probably that the second one's hair length was slightly shorter, with her 'assets' barely growing at all.
"Um, you two?"
Kelvin looked at the two in confusion, although he knew their names from the anime he watched, they had barely spoken to each other before, so it would be strange if he knew both of their names.
"Oh, that's right! My name is Tiona Hiryute! And this is my twin sister, Tione Hiryute!"
The latter girl, moving quickly towards his, quickly gave her a handshake as she smiled kindly.
"Tiona, stop that. You're scaring his."
The girl with large breasts admonished her sister, though she herself was quite enjoying Kelvin's reaction of apparent difficulty.
"Oh, really? I'm sorry, I was just a little excited."
Tiona immediately distanced herself from Kelvin, giving him room to breathe.
"Um, you probably already know, but my name is Kelvin Edelfelt. Nice to meet you guys."
Kelvin slightly bowed his body respectfully, after all the two girls in front of him, although a year older than him, were both level 5 first-class adventurers and executive members of the Familia, so it was natural for Kelvin who was a new member to be respectful to them.
"Oh, don't be so formal with us. Just call us by our names."
Tione waved her hand with a small smile.
"Mn, Mn, besides that we're also interested in you. Loki doesn't usually act like he did last night. It seems like you are quite promising for Loki to act like that."
Tiona nodded as she looked at Kelvin curiously.
"In that case, you can also call me Kelvin."
Kelvin smiled, he at least knew their characters from the anime he watched, but seeing him in person naturally made him a little overwhelmed.
"Wow, so Kelvin. How was your day yesterday? I heard that Ais and Riveria accompanied you into the dungeon yesterday. You must be pretty good to have two of the strongest women in the Familia keeping an eye on you, huh."
Tiona grinned, looking up at Kelvin as she brought her body closer to his.
"Um, not really. I'm an average person and my willpower is also average. And also, they accompanied me just because they were curious, nothing in particular."
Kelvin raised his hand, as if he wanted to create a distance so that Tiona wouldn't get too close to him.
It wasn't that he didn't like Tiona or anything like that. It was just that, this girl was too energetic, he was quite overwhelmed when facing this girl.
As if, he could barely breathe since Tiona started talking. It made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Seeing Kelvin's discomfort, Tione rubbed her chin as she sighed. Making her have to pull Tiona's collar to keep her away from Kelvin.
"Don't be like a girl who gets hot when she sees a man. You're making Kelvin feel uncomfortable!"
Tione reprimanded Tiona, but since she was her sister and already knew her more than anyone else, Tiona immediately exploded when she heard her sister's words.
"What?! I'm not a girl who gets hot! Besides, Tione. You're the only girl who has no right to say that to me!"
Tiona raised her tone, saying unhappily.
If it was someone else like Ais or Lefiya who reprimanded her, she wouldn't have argued and remained silent. But Tione? A girl who was crazy about their Familia Captain was reprimanding her for this?! Unacceptable!
"Hah..., forgive my foolish sister. By the way, what are you going to do after this?"
Tione made a disappointed expression as she glanced at Tiona, before finally putting on a calm expression when looking at Kelvin. Of course, Tiona, the girl in question wouldn't just take Tione's words at face value, right?
"What?! Tione! Who are you calling stupid?!"
"It's you stupid!"
"What do you mean?!"
They went back to arguing, leaving Kelvin to take a little distance from them. As he expected, he couldn't handle these two Amazon sisters just like that, they were too energetic and overwhelmed him.
"Gosh, what are you doing so early in the morning, stupid Amazons!"
Their argument was interrupted by a voice that sounded annoyed as she watched the Amazon sisters bicker.
"Huh?! Bete, you want to pick a fight with us?!"
Recognizing the figure of the voice, Tiona raised her head, staring at a werewolf with an annoyed look.
Bete Loga, one of Familia's executives and a level 5 adventurer along with Ais, Tiona and Tione. Even so, Bete's personality which was quite tsundere and often annoyed others with his words was not liked by others.
Even so, from the anime, Kelvin knew that this wolf was actually quite concerned about his family and friends. He just didn't want them to get hurt, even though the way he said it often made others upset.
Bete ignored Tiona, his gaze fixed on Kelvin as he frowned.
"And you, rookie. I don't know what you have, but don't get in our way!"
After saying that, he snorted before finally leaving without waiting for their reply.
"Just ignore him, Kelvin. That guy's personality is bad enough, you'd better stay away from him."
Seeing Bete's departure, Tione approached Kelvin as she said in a slightly muffled voice. That was because as a werewolf, Bete had very sharp hearing, it would be very troublesome if she heard her words.
It wasn't that Tione was afraid of Bete, in fact she was very confident she could fight on par with Bete. It was just that she didn't want her relationship with the other executive members to be strained.
Although Bete's personality might be bad, but her strength was undoubtedly useful to the Familia.
"Mn, mn. Instead of thinking about that stupid wolf, why don't you come with us to the dungeon?"
Tiona nodded as she looked at Kelvin with anticipation.
"Don't say anything stupid, Tiona. Kelvin is still level 1, and it's impossible to take him with us to the dungeon."
Tione interjected. It wasn't that they couldn't go with Kelvin. But, from what she knew, Kelvin was still level 1, and he only received the falna yesterday.
Floors 1-6 might not be too much of a problem, but starting from floor 7 would be a problem. Not only did the number of monsters vary, but the monsters that appeared also increased significantly.
For a level 1 adventurer, it was tantamount to sending a life to die.
"Ah, that's a good offer. Unfortunately I have to decline it, I have to meet the captain after morning practice."
Although Tiona's offer might be a good thing, especially since by going with them Kelvin could dive to deeper floors, but he had to discuss something with Finn regarding his weapon after practice.
"Ah, is that so? That's too bad. Then we'll go first~"
Hearing his refusal, Tiona had to let out a disappointed sigh. But her disappointment instantly disappeared as she left while waving her hand, as she dragged her sister away with her.
"Oi, Tiona! Don't drag me!"
Seeing the departure of the two, Kelvin smiled awkwardly.
"As expected, individuals like Bete are easier to deal with than that Amazon ...."
Shaking his head, Kelvin walked away. In his opinion, he would rather deal with the foul-mouthed Bete, than having to deal with the energetic and extroverted Tiona.
******
Ais Wallenstein had been in a bad mood lately. After the expedition one month ago, she often went to the dungeon alone to increase her strength. But, she could only return home disappointed as her strength hadn't grown much since the last time.
Even though he knew his status was almost at its peak, he still felt disappointed. When he last updated his status, he had only gotten 50 total upgrade points, which was very disappointing for him.
Even after that grueling expedition, her strength hadn't grown much.
That made Ais feel frustrated.
Because of this, today he woke up early from intending to explore the dungeon alone, but when he was in the courtyard, he saw the figure of a new member who was practicing alone in the middle of the field.
"Sword...?"
Ais muttered in confusion.
The first time she saw Kelvin using a sword, it was yesterday, when he fought against Gareth in a trial battle.
Originally, Ais was attracted to him because he could defeat Gareth with little effort. But, Ais didn't put much hope into Kelvin, considering she didn't know his strength well.
But, what did Ais see today?
Kelvin's skill when using the sword was extraordinary. He didn't make many unnecessary movements, and maximized his sword skills very well. As if, he was dancing with the sword in the middle of the field.
That made Ais feel doubtful.
Had she misjudged before?
Although she had already seen Kelvin's strength when she followed him in the dungeon, to be honest Kelvin back then didn't show much skill.
He killed enemies with little effort, used fewer moves and only occasionally appeared flashy.
It had impressed Ais in the first encounter. But, seeing his training made Ais even more impressed.
If she could learn his swordsmanship, it was possible that she could become even stronger, right?
With such thoughts, Ais walked up to Kelvin. But, she didn't say anything, standing still and waiting for Kelvin to finish his training.
And after about 15 minutes, Kelvin noticed her presence, stopping his training as he stared at Ais in confusion.
The two engaged in a staring contest for some time, before Kelvin finally broke the silence between them.
"Do you need something from me, Ais-san?
Ais didn't know, but seeing his smile made her heart flutter slightly.
