nEveryone was unable to say when they heard a confirmation from Tsukasa’s mouth. The news that he had become a Level 2 adventurer with just three days would cause the whole Orario city to shudder.

nIt was something unprecedented, and it shouldn’t have happened since they knew how long one needed to be to become a Level 2 adventurer.

nEven Ais Wallenstein, the Sword Princess, needed a year to become Level 2!

nShe was also the record holder, the fastest adventurer who became Level 2 in history!

nHowever, that record was broken by Tsukasa and with such a massive distance between them!

nWhile Finn and Gareth had heard the news from Riveria, they were still stunned by the place.

nHowever, Finn quickly awoke and said, “Tsukasa, can you come with me to my office? There’s something that I need to talk with you about.”

n“Okay.” Tsukasa nodded and agreed.

n“Captain, can I go with you?” Tiona suddenly asked.

nFinn hesitated for a moment before he looked at Tsukasa.

n“I don’t mind.”

n“Okay.” Finn didn’t hesitate and nodded. “Come with us.”

nThe four of them left the canteen and went to Finn’s office.

nThe rest of the members of the Familia looked at each other and were still in a state of disbelief. They felt they should doubt him, but strangely enough, they felt it was possible for Tsukasa to become a Level 2 adventurer in just three days, so when Tsukasa and the rest left, their conversation turned into how Tsukasa could become a Level 2 adventurer and they also thought to ask Loki when she had woken up later.

nStill, a certain golden-haired girl squirmed her mouth, watching Tsukasa’s figure from a distance. She raised both of her fists slightly, showing a pumped expression with her blank expression, and made up her mind.

n—

nTsukasa, Tiona, Finn, and Gareth stayed in the same room together.

nTiona looked at Tsukasa and asked, “Tsukasa, you really have become Level 2?”

n“Yes.” Tsukasa nodded and said, “You can ask Loki. I just became Level 2 last night.”

n“…” The three were in silence, and they knew Tsukasa didn’t lie. Without a doubt, he had become Level 2. However, they sighed and felt slightly depressed since they took so long to become Level 2, yet he could become Level 2 in just three days.

n“So, Finn, are you just asking about my level?” Tsukasa asked.

n“Of course not.” Finn shook his head gently and said, “I want to ask you whether you want to participate in the expedition 20 days later.”

n“Expedition?”

nTsukasa knew this was the thing he had been waiting for.

nFinn knew Tsukasa had only been in the Orario city for a few days, so he explained what the “expedition” was.

nIn simple terms, the “expedition” was just hunting monsters in the dungeon.

nHowever, unlike his usual “hunting,” where Tsukasa walked after staying a few hours inside the dungeon, the “expedition” needed at least a few weeks or a month to stay in the dungeon and hunt deeper into the dungeon.

nWhile Tsukasa was usually hunted on the 17th floor below, the expedition of the Loki Familia had him hunt on the 50th floor. The thought of staying in the dungeon for many days made him uncomfortable, but he agreed without hesitation.

n“Yes.” Tsukasa nodded and said, “Please let me join.”

nFinn smiled and nodded. “Good. We’ll take you on the expedition in 20 days. Also, before the expedition, you should try to work in a team with the Familia members.”

nTsukasa agreed and took his leave with Tiona.

nWhen they left, Gareth asked, “Is it okay?”

n“Why not?” Finn smiled and said, “You can see how fast his growth is. It won’t be long before he reaches our level.”

n“Hahaha…” Gareth only laughed, but at the same time, he also felt he needed to get stronger too. “Then, I guess, this old man has to work harder.”

n“Wait! Wait! Don’t leave me! If you leave, who will help me with my job?” Finn said helplessly since he also understood Gareth’s feelings to become stronger. However, if Gareth left him, who would help him on his job to manage the Familia?

nStill, Finn stood up and looked out the window, watching the scenery of the Orario city through his room. However, his expression slightly turned solemn when he glanced at Babel in the middle of the Orario.

n‘My thumb…’

nFinn looked at his trembling thumb and licked it gently while staring at the Babylon tower. While he knew there was a powerful adventurer in that place, he didn’t fear them, and as long as Tsukasa was a member of the Loki Familia, he would protect him.

n“Come on, Tsukasa!”

n“Okay, okay, you don’t need to be in a hurry.”

nFinn looked down and saw Tiona, who pulled Tsukasa’s hand, walking out of the Twilight Manor together. Anyway, he was quite curious about how strong Tsukasa would develop in the future.

n—

nWhen Tsukasa and Tiona left the Twilight Manor, Tiona asked, “Is there a place you want to visit first?”

n“Let’s go to the guild. I want to report that I have become Level 2,” Tsukasa said.

nTiona nodded and agreed.

nWhen one had leveled up, they needed to report to the guild.

n“Now that you mention it, I have never seen you bring your weapons.” Tiona looked at Tsukasa curiously and asked, “What kind of weapon do you usually use in the dungeon, Tsukasa?” She felt she had never seen him bring a weapon. “Or you didn’t use one?” While it was uncommon, some martial arts types of adventurers used their fists and feet to fight. She thought he was that type of adventurer, but if that was the case, she hoped he would stop since holding a weapon was more reassuring, especially when gods or goddesses crafted your weapon.

n“No, I used a weapon, but I usually took it from the kobold, goblin, or minotaurs,” Tsukasa said.

n“….What?” Tiona’s lips twitched, and she asked, “You used the monsters’ weapon?”

n“Yes.” Tsukasa nodded and asked, “Is there something wrong?”

n“….”

nTiona stared at Tsukasa for a moment and said, “I’ll buy you a weapon later.”

n“Huh?” Tsukasa was dumbfounded.

n“You can’t refuse me. I’ll take you to buy you everything today!” Tiona said in a reassuring tone as she patted her chest. Unfortunately, her chest didn’t tremble since it was flat.

nTsukasa stared at Tiona for a moment and said, “It might be my imagination, but have you gotten cuter?”

n“I’ll take you to buy potions and armor too later!” Tiona patted her chest again, showing the arrogance of a rich woman.

n“….”

nTsukasa was silent and thought having a handsome face was really a good thing.
