“...Hasn’t it slowed down at all?”

Loki carefully read the new Ability Values and couldn’t help but shout.

“I’ve been in the dungeon these past few days. I go out early in the morning and come back very late every day. Based on the rate of increase, it should be quite normal, right?”

Hoshiharu held the parchment and didn’t think much of it. He was even quite dissatisfied that his magic power had only increased by about 40 points.

“It’s not normal!”

Loki’s emotions seemed a bit out of control, and her face changed.

“It takes at least a month for an average adventurer to reach this point, but you only needed four days!”

Although Hoshiharu was active near the mid-floor levels, his growth rate was exceptionally fast, yet it was unreasonable to reach this point, almost ten times that of an average adventurer!

It’s true that he was very diligent, but the increase in his Ability Values wasn’t just relying on diligence.

There were people in Loki Familia who were as diligent as him, like Ais.

Ais was even more persistent than Hoshiharu. She often locked herself in the dungeon and didn’t come out for a week. However, this was because she was too strong and often went deep into the dungeon.

In terms of the intensity of leveling up, both were entirely equivalent.

“Is it really because of this skill?”

Loki looked at the lower back of Hoshiharu, carefully examining the mentioned skill.

This skill had two effects: “Unyielding” and “Pushing to the Ultimate Realm.”

It wasn’t unusual for a skill to have multiple effects. Although an effect like “Unyielding” was bold, in this case, the issue might lie in the second effect, “Pushing to the Ultimate Realm.”

“You mean, the effect of ‘Pushing to the Ultimate Realm’ is to keep me growing at a very high rate?”

“It should be almost the same. Maximizing your potential as a swordsman. Specifically, it means you can quickly improve your abilities.”

Loki didn’t care about it before, but now thinking about it carefully, wasn’t this effect just for enhancing his growth rate?

This is undoubtedly a very rare skill!

It makes sense.

Hoshiharu thought quietly to himself.

Of course, his potential was very strong, but it should be limited to swords. In fact, he didn’t know whether his physical training abilities were strong or not.

After all, he initially clicked on the “sword” icon, but he didn’t know if the icon represented swordsmanship or being a swordsman.

However, from the current situation, this skill seemed more likely to harness his potential as a swordsman.

Hoshiharu clenched his fist and was quite satisfied with the increase in his Ability Values.

He had very strong control over his body, so he could feel that his strength had increased significantly. It increased by about 20 to 30% compared to before receiving the blessing.

Although his magic power increased less, the increase was still continuous.

“Listen, this is undoubtedly a very cheating skill. Don’t easily talk about it, or it will definitely cause a lot of trouble. Not all gods in Orario understand justice as well as I do!”

“Don’t worry, I understand.”

“That’s good.”

Loki was actually quite relieved. She could see that Hoshiharu was indeed very discreet and kept his secrets to himself, but she still had to warn him.

“It hasn’t appeared yet...”

After Hoshiharu left, Loki muttered in a low voice.

Although she was very tolerant of the children of Familia and didn’t force Hoshiharu to reveal his secrets, Loki also had other expectations of him.

For example, training him as a special weapon against Freya.

She looked forward to such a scene. Just imagining it made her heart race, and a feeling of excitement involuntarily surged in her heart.

A day after his abilities were updated, Hoshiharu was in no hurry to go to the dungeon.

“Eh? Hoshiharu, are you taking a day off today?”

After having breakfast together in the cafeteria, Hoshiharu returned to the atrium and continued practicing his sword silently there.

He bought a heavy sword that felt similar to the Nameless Sword. He used it for morning practice every day, hiding the existence of the Nameless Sword.

When Tiona passed through the atrium and saw Hoshiharu’s figure, she blinked and thought she was mistaken.

“Mm, I’m thinking about my teammates.”

Hoshiharu continued practicing his sword while answering Tiona’s question.

“Looking for teammates?!”

Tiona’s eyes suddenly lit up.

“Yes, I want to enter the 13th Floor, but I can’t do it alone, so I want to find stronger teammates.”

“Me, me, me!”

Tiona puffed out her chest, couldn’t help raising her hand, and a smile as bright as a sunflower bloomed on her face.

“I don’t need to keep watch anymore, and I’m Level 5, very strong, and very familiar with the 13th Floor!”

“Precisely because you’re Level 5, I don’t want to team up with you.”

An emotionless voice sounded.

Tiona instantly froze into an ice sculpture.

Teaming up with a Level 5, and the somewhat difficult game would immediately turn into an unbeatable speedrun game.

If Tiona rushed to kill the monster every time they faced a powerful enemy without waiting for Hoshiharu to make an effort, then Hoshiharu wouldn’t be able to gain any experience.

“I want to find a mage.”

Hoshiharu stopped and thought for a moment before adding.

“It would be best if it’s a mage who can perform healing magic. Do you have any recommendations?”

When forming a team, it’s best to choose teammates from the same Familia.

If people from different Familias form a team, it will easily cause problems in terms of loot distribution, etc., leading to conflicts between the two Familias.

“Hmm...”

Tiona groaned sadly, feeling very heartbroken.

Hoshiharu not only rejected the invitation to form a team but also questioned where she would fit in?

“The only healer mage is Line. She happens to be Level 2 as well, so she’s suitable for exploring near the 13th Floor... You two are very compatible.”

Tiona said sourly.

She still couldn’t bear it and provided the most suitable candidate.

“Line Arshe...”

Hoshiharu retrieved the memory bank of the woman’s chest.

Line Arshe seemed like a girl with black hair, glasses, and braids. She was about sixteen or seventeen years old. Her first impression was very similar to Touka, and her breast size wasn’t small.

Was she actually a healer mage? And still Level 2, so it’s very suitable.

“Wait a minute, Tiona and Hoshiharu.”

At this moment, a cold voice came from far and near, interrupting the two of them.

Dressed in an emerald robe, her entire body radiating luxury and nobility, and with unparalleled beauty that even goddesses would be ashamed of, Riveria appeared before them.

She approached them with a precious staff inlaid with crystals in her hand.

“I heard your conversation. You want to find a partner who can accompany you to the mid-levels, right? Even though I may be presumptuous, could you take her with you?”

Riveria stepped aside.

From behind her, an elf appeared.

She tied her long orange hair high behind her head, with long, pointed elf ears protruding from both sides of her beautiful cheeks.

She wasn’t good at dealing with strangers, so she looked at Hoshiharu with a slightly reserved gaze.

“Her name is Lefiya Viridis, Level 3, she is an excellent mage who has grown enough to inherit my position, but she is still too young now, and she doesn’t even have parallel chanting skills. So I hope you can take her along and hone her in the mid-levels.”
