  These ats aren't bad; it seems like my potential has finally emerged after unlog the system. I used nothing but magid gained 30 points in that stat. This happened only on the seventh floor in 2 hours in the dungeon. I also gained a few points in other physical areas where I did much effort, so I 't pin.

  I was still looking at the s when I heard footsteps approag, diverting my attention to the corridor where the noise was ing from. I became a bit cautious immediately. Ihe dungeon, you never know what might happen when adventurers enter each other. In most cases, they just pass by without g, but there are adventurers who hunt others for stones and equipment when there's no personal feud involved.

  And I 't deny that, with my dition, I look like an easy target here. Not to mention that I'm still weak; I ime to start proteg myself, and I'll never achieve that on my first day.

  When I saw the owners of those footsteps, I couldn't help but look relieved as I let out a sigh: two slender figures were approag me. I was relieved, but I couldn't deny my shock when I realized who they were. The blonde girl was the first one I noticed. How could I nhat indifferent face that I always saw in the a was the sword princess, Aiz Wallenstein, with her panion by her side.

  This means that Bell is in the duoo, as they would find him on the fifth floor unscious from exhaustioo mental expenditure. But that makes sense, as today was when he learhe same spell as me. When he woke up, he would know he had magid would test it like a madman, not much different from me, except I 't have Mindzero.

  As I shifted my gaze to the girls, who had already noticed a Lucius leaning against the wall trying to soothe his throat, I was a little surprised. There was no denying it.

  Aiz was indeed beautiful, but that woman was by far the most beautiful I had ever seen in two lives. Her name is Riveria Ljos Alf, whom I knew from the anime. I expected great beauty from them after watg the anime, and I don't remember entering them before, except flimpses in the distance during Loki's grand raids that stopped the city to watch, as the goddess is heavily in her family's marketing. So, I saw them briefly from a great distance.

  But looking up close, especially that elf, surpassed all the standards I had seen. But high elves are, by nature, extremely snobbish and pure, and she is no different, or was. As far as I know, she herself was extremely snobbish when she came to Orario with Loki and Finn in the early years. She had great prejudice even against Finn Deimne and Gareth Landrock, who are members of her geion and current highest-level executive colleagues, w together tthen and mahe family. Over time, she improved her retionship; well, that doesn't matter to me.

  "Are you okay?" said a voiot as sweet as the girls I'm used to.

  I didn't notice when these women approached me, stopping in front of me. I thought I might be ignored by both as they tinued up the floors.

  Of course, I didn't realize they were approag, thanks to my distrag thoughts, something I have to be careful about while I'm here in the dungeon...

  I looked at Riveria, who was a few meters away from me with Aiz by her side, and sighed.

  "I'm fine, but I'll be ho if you have water in y, I would appreciate it..." I said with a sad smile; my throat was already saturated, and I would like to drink something befoing back to the fifth flain.

  Generally, these women wouldn't i with anyone in the dungeon and would ignore all other adventurers not from their family. However, seeing a man leaning against the wall, seemingly tired, wearing nothing but dirty clothes in the middle of the seventh floor during the nighttime, caught their attention.

  In the women's minds, their first thought was that this unknown adventurer had beeo die, judging by the state of his clothes and the absence of any on to defend himself.

  She looked at me strangely for a moment; Aiz, who was beside her, looked at me with no expression. The elf seemed and well, but Aiz had her clothes slightly torn and showed some parts of her body that would make anyone look. I didn't even g her beynizing her as a 2D character I had seen in my past life. As far as I remember, I hadn't really seen her iwo years that I've been in Orario as a level 1 adventurer. However, my attention was more ied in the response of the green-haired, emerald-eyed elf beside her, as I needed a drink.

  "We do have some, here," she said rally. Her voice carried a tone of leadership or strict mentorship and was naturally indifferent. As she took out a bottle.

  "You don't know how much you're helping me, elven dy!" I couldn't help but thank her happily, with a big smile. Despite my face being quite dirty from the dust and smoke I caused so far, I still had a nice smile.

  I quickly took the bottle she handed me without toug it with my hands since, for elves, touch is a delicate matter; not even in their family, she has tact.

  I wasted no time and opehe bottle to soothe my throat as I poured the tents into my mouth quickly.

  *gulp!* *gulp!* *gulp!* *gulp!* *AHHHH!*

  "That's great!" I smiled again with my relieved burst.

  "Do you need help getting back to the surface?" She asked me after seeing me drink with a relieved expression. They might ignore all adventurers, but they are still kind enough to see someoruggling. Even though my issue is only with my throat, what about someoanding on the seventh floor without armor?

  "No, miss, I appreciate your kindness, but I'm fine; I just needed some water to soothe my throat, which made me quite happy with this bottle!" I said fidently, but it didn't seem to stop her from asking more.

  "But you're alone, without equipment or a on. How you want to stay here?" She asked me quite curiously. Anyone would think that I could be on the verge of death here, but here I was, smiling and talking as if I wasn't on the seventh floor with empty hands and dirty clothes.

  'How should I expin this...' I thought, and with an idea, I pointed my hand to a er of the corridors.

  "Firebolt!" I said.

  I couldn't help but notice her eyes widening when she saw my palm light up and unch a small fireball, illuminating all sides as the fire went straight.

  *Boom*

  The small explosion was heard and seemed to alert other monsters in the area because, as I stood here for a while, some were born in the nearby corridors.

  "Such a fast casting magic!" She couldn't help but excim with surprise. Such magics are rare, even among mages, as they are more suitable for adventurers focused on agility, like Aiz, who also looked surprised.

  "As you see, miss, I take care of myself. I am a quite capable mage on the early floors. Besides being a bit tired, I take care of myself, but I appreciate the . Not everyoends a helping hand to someone in this damn dungeon," I said.

  "Well... I guess you're right. Anyway, let's tinue our way to the surface." She said but not before studying me first.

  "May I know your name and family?" She asked.

  "Well, I could say, but isn't it polite to introduce yourself before asking someoo introduce themselves?" I said, making her a little stunned.

  "Well, I thought you would already know me..." She said awkwardly.

  "*Cough* My name is Riveria Ljos Alf, executive of the Loki family. Beside me is Aiz Wallenstein, my pupil." She said.

  "Well, I am Lucius Drakenar, as for my family, I 't say right now, maybe ime we meet, perhaps?" I said, as if I mention being expelled, it would be bothersome to expin my situation, and I am not ied in the Loki family. If by ce she thought I could join with my magical talent, I would have to e up with an excuse.

  Yes, the Loki family would be a good option to join and protect me, but I value freedom, and I don't think Finn would be so open to the idea of having a lone wolf among them. She found it strahat I didn't mention my family, but decided not to ask further. Aiz, beside her, in addition to being surprised by my spell, remained silent and expressionless, simply listening to me and Riveria versing.

  "So, let's tinue, I hope you'll be fine," she said."Before you go, let me ask, if it's not too much trouble, do you happen to have any spare bags to collect crystals?" I asked with a forced smile, not wanting to impose too mu them, but I ."Okay, we have one here leftover..." she said a bit suspiciously.'If I had to bet, I'd say she's w what happened with other crystals, leaving them in the dungeon after killing monsters is a crime, as if other monsters eat them, they evolve into a variant.' I thought.It seems I o carry some crystals, as people might report me to the guild, which would bring a lot of trouble to expin.

  Once she handed me the bag, she said, "Anyway, let's go now, until ime, Mr. Lucius." She said as she prepared to turn around, and Aiz followed her."Yes, thank you, Lady Riveria. I have a slight feeling we'll be seeing a lot of each other from now on, not that I have anything to pin about." I smiled with my best smile.

  She looked at the bold adventurer a bit surprised, but soon her expressiouro a ral one, and she simply nodded and began to leave with Aiz by her side.

  Anyway, I don't expect to attract much attention. Maybe Riveria will mention this enter, but I doubt it will catch Loki's attention. Casting high-speed magic for a human may be unusual, but nothing too extraordinary. And I only showed one spell; my secrets are much deeper.

  I rested for 20 minutes while drinking some water I had received; now I was ready to go bad was sure to enter a white rabbit, which should be in Mind Zerht now.

  But as I started climbiween the floors, I began to reflect... "Maybe I need a family..." This enter with the Loki family girls led me to this clusion because even though my Falna receives automatic updates, I still need an anization/family behio make it more difficult for someoo want trouble with me and my secrets.
