Title: The Possibility of Being a Spy

“Wait.”

As Hoshiharu stood up from his seat, a voice suddenly stopped him.

“Hoshiharu, even though your skills are indeed good, it’s best not to go too far below the 12th floor at this early stage. Before entering the dungeon, I suggest you go to the guild headquarters first and buy some necessary equipment like potions.”

It was Finn who stopped Hoshiharu.

There was a large black fish in front of him almost as tall as he was. He pretended not to see Tione’s eager gaze and smiled, offering advice to Hoshiharu.

“Understood.”

Hoshiharu slightly raised his eyebrows and nodded.

Then, under everyone’s gaze, he turned and left the canteen.

“You value him highly, Finn.”

Riveria turned and looked directly at Finn with calm eyes.

“After all, he is a promising newcomer. Like you, I’m also looking forward to seeing how he grows.”

Finn continued to ignore the large black fish in front of him and responded to Riveria’s words with a smile.

“But is his record true? He was able to defeat several Level 2 adventurers in succession without receiving any Falna. I nearly dropped my bowl when I heard it.”

Gareth asked in amazement, holding a handful of beard on his chin.

“Of course it’s true! I saw it with my own eyes!”

Tiona slapped her chest hard and swore to testify for Hoshiharu.

“...I heard he is very skilled in swordsmanship.”

Ais bit into her sandwich, her eyes occasionally drifting towards Hoshiharu. When she saw Tiona testifying directly, her eyes flickered.

“Yes, he is very strong. Basically, he won because of his extraordinary swordsmanship!”

Tiona puffed out her chest and spoke proudly.

“Yes...”

Ais nodded and lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.

“Hearing about an opponent with strong swordsmanship, do you become confrontational or competitive, Ais?”

Riveria looked at Ais, her expression showing a tenderness not seen when facing others, “If I were an ordinary person, could I defeat a Level 2 adventurer like him? Is that what you’re thinking?”

“...That’s right.”

Ais’s eyelids drooped slightly, with no emotion or anger in her expression, yet she exuded a depressed atmosphere.

“And I feel like I might not be able to do it.”

There was a several-fold power gap between an ordinary person who had not received Falna and a Level 2 adventurer.

Although she was at level 5 and had honed her swordsmanship to this day, and even had a reputation as the “strongest female swordsman in Orario.” it still felt somewhat impossible to defeat a Level 2 adventurer as an ordinary person.

When the power gap is too large, skills lose their effectiveness.

But Hoshiharu could easily defeat several Level 2 adventurers, and this record was not wrong.

This made her feel very worried. Ais wanted to talk to him several times in the morning, but considering they had nothing to do with each other, it would be too annoying to ask him to solve the problem as soon as she opened her mouth, so she hesitated for a long time and still said nothing.

“Hmm, is our princess finally having significant concerns?”

Riveria slightly raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a pleasant smile that stunned many male friends around.

“There’s nothing to worry about, Ais. Since we are all members of the Familia, then maintain a good relationship with him. If it’s you, I’m sure he won’t mind your contact. Even if he doesn’t want to expose his swordsmanship, he won’t distance himself from you.”

After all, Ais looked very sweet, and no one would refuse her like this.

Riveria was very proud of that.

Ais grew up in the Loki Familia, raised alone by her.

“Tsk.”

A tongue-clicking sound came from the corner, attracting the attention of several people.

“What?”

Bete was sitting in the corner. He raised his head with slightly curly white hair, and the corners of his eyes were slightly raised, looking very unhappy.

“What about the possibility of him being a spy?”

“Bete! Are you deliberately looking for trouble!”

Before anyone else could speak, Tiona was the first to get angry, gritting her teeth and glaring, her eyes filled with rage.

“Quiet, Love Brain Amazoness, Finn, you haven’t considered this possibility, have you?”

Bete glared at her impatiently, then looked at Finn coldly.

“Indeed, I have considered this possibility.”

“Finn?!”

“But you can rest assured.”

Finn chuckled and waved his hand, comforting the shouting Tiona, his expression as gentle as usual, “Yesterday, I asked Loki to give him a Falna directly in the living room.”

“As expected of you, Finn, you’re perfect.”

Riveria’s attitude was always calm, and she didn’t appear arrogant.

“Then you should have seen his Falna, right? Did he come here as a ‘convert’?”

Although many gods from the mortal world gathered in Orario, not all of them were there. There were also many gods who lived outside Orario. They could also give Falna to people in the mortal world and form their own Familias.

Gods can give Falna to people in the mortal world, and they can also seal the Falna.

As long as the Falna is sealed, the Ability Value will temporarily disappear from the adventurer. The Falna will not reappear until another god reopens the seal.

The act of leaving a Familia and joining another Familia is called a “convert.”

There is also the possibility of using convert to import spies into enemy Familias.

“He is truly an amateur. He has never received any Falna before. All his Ability Values are zero. He cannot be a convert, so the possibility of being a spy is nonexistent.”

Finn rested his chin on his folded hands.

The words that came out of his mouth made Tiona proudly puff out her chest to show off to Bete and also made the other friends listening relax.

If it was Finn who said it, then it must be true.

“He could have such beautiful swordsmanship. He must have a past and secrets. But what if there are secrets? Don’t you all have secrets? With the pride of the Loki Familia and your self-esteem, do we need to force him to tell us?”

“As long as it doesn’t harm the members of the Familia, don’t pursue it. This is my view.”

Better said.

In fact, in the Loki Familia, there are also many adventurers who were once members of other Familias and then converted, and Bete was one of them.

From this aspect, Hoshiharu was even more innocent than Bete.

Finn’s words resolved the issue and ended it.

Tiona kept nodding her head “Yes, yes, yes!” and looked very happy.

“Bete, don’t bother him either.”

Finn turned to look at Bete, a warning in his eyes.

Bete’s nature was known to everyone in the Familia.

“Don’t consider me a troublemaker!”

Bete snorted coldly, with a look of disgust on his face.
