Hello everyone I'm back again with a new chapter. I thought I would answer a few reviews before I started.
RabbitHaremLover24 – Yes BellxAiz all the way XD. I'm glad you like it even though this isn't a harem. Question: Since your #24 does that mean there are 23 other RabbitHaremLover accounts?
MachiMoka – Thank you so much for the compliments and I'm glad you're having fun reading this. Yes I apologize that the first 2 chapters were short but hopefully this chapter will make up for it.
Yameteeee – As you pointed out, Bell is already OP with Liaris Freese. What I have to say to that is; You're right! (Well his skill is only strong because of Bells feelings but that's not the point I'm trying to make.) The reason that I have said that Bell won't be OP immediately is because I plan to make his enemies a bit stronger and change a few circumstances so that Bell will still struggle and not just one-shot everything. "How can you do that and change specific scenes to fit to your liking?" You may ask? Well, by the power invested in me as the author, just because!
To Guest, I am sorry but I don't know what you mean by "just give a good name". Do you mean the title? I couldn't come up with anything better and if I do, I will change it. Unless you want me to make chapter names instead of just Chapter 1,2,3, etc. Eh that might be a bit hard. You also asked me to write longer chapters and I will I'm just starting out so please bear with me. Chapter 2 was twice as long as chapter 1 and I hope to keep writing more as this is way more fun than I had thought it would be. I promise I will write longer chapters but now that means a longer wait.
And can't forget about Noon12345. Well, I hope to keep you entertained until OP Bell emerges.
Well enough with the reviews, on with the story!
The great city Orario was bustling with life. The streets were crowded with all types of people and different races alike. You could see different animal people stopping by vendors for a quick snack. Look to your left and oddly enough you saw an elf and a dwarf laughing together. Didn't those two races hate one another? Guess these two are the exception. Or maybe it's the charm that Orario has that trivial things like race hate isn't as apparent. Never mind, they're arguing now.
'Woah. There're way more people here than I thought there would be. At the gate they told me that to be an adventurer I would need to join a familia. But which one should I join? Bell thought to himself. He decided to first look around the city to familiarize himself. While walking around he heard that a familia had just come back from an expedition to the deep floors a while ago. He was confused as to what the "deep floors" were but quickly realized they meant the dungeon and understood everything as soon as the name "Loki familia" was said. He may have lived in the middle of nowhere but thanks to the occasional traveler even he knew that the Loki familia is one of the strongest ones around. He decided to test his luck and see if they were recruiting. He asked around and got directions to twighlight manor, their home, and eventually found his way there only getting lost 5 times.
'Woah, this place is massive. It just goes up and up. Why didn't they just get more land and build outwards? (Because that would be too simple young Bell)
"Hi there. Is this Twighlight Manor? The home of the Loki familia?" Bell asked a guard.
"Yes, it is. What business do you have with my familia?" One of them responded.
"Well, I am new here and heard of all the wonderful achievements of this familia and would like to join." He responded earnestly.
"Oh yeah? And what makes you think you've got what it takes? We don't let weaklings like you in."
"Knock it off Brad. You're making the familia look bad." ? said.
"Huh?! Oh it's just you. Don't scare me like that Raul. I thought you were the captian." Brad said. (Sorry everyone named Brad. It's literally the first name that came to mind.)
"Hi there. Sorry you met Mr. grumpy there. He was supposed to have the day off and is in a bad mood. My name is Raul. Raul Nord. What's yours?" The man now named Raul asked him.
"Eheh, it's all right. My name is Bell Cranel. Nice to meet you Raul."
"Likewise Bell. So, I overheard you saying that you wanted to join us right?"
"Well, I was hoping too. You see, I just got to Orario and I had already heard of your familia and I was very impressed and would like to join you all. If you wouldn't mind having me of course!" He said nervously.
"Well I don't have a say in this, but maybe the least I can do is put a good word with our captain. Only him and our goddess determine whether or not you'll join. You seem like a good kid and with Brads act earlier this is the least I can do. The rest is all you." Raul told him.
"Wow! Thank you so much! You can really do that?" He asked.
"Yeah its no biggie. Wait over here while I go check with my captain. We just got back from an expedition so he might be busy right now. Don't take it too personal if he can't come." He warned him
"Oh I understand and don't worry I wont hold it against you."
…
"And that about wraps it up." A blonde-haired hobbit said.
"Hmmm. That was not as much as you guys usually make. Don't tell me you guys are slacking off now?" A red haired woman asked him with a teasing smile.
"Now now Loki, you know this was just to get us the last few million valis we needed for our huge expedition. We don't want to get in debt now would we?" The hobbit now known as Finn replied.
"I know. I know. I'm just messing with you. You're no fun." She said, still in a cheerful mood.
A sudden knocking on the door got their attention.
"Come in."
"Uhmm excuse me captain, are you busy right now?" Raul asked.
"No I just finished talking with Loki. Something the matter?"
"Uh, well, not for me. There is someone here that wishes to join the familia. He seems like a good person and has been really nice and will understand if you don't want to meet him."
"Huh. Another applicant eh? I really don't want to deal with all this all over again. I thought we finally went through all those applications." He said remembering all those people that wanted to join after their last expedition.
"Yeah I understand. I'll have him write an application and send him on his way." Raul replied a tad upset.
"Hmmm. You know what? Send him over." Finn told him seemingly out of nowhere.
"Eh? You sure Finn?"
"Yeah. It's just 1 person. Me and Loki can handle this. Plus if you say he's a good person I'll believe you." He told the future captain, trusting his instincts.
"Alright! I'll be right back!" He said taking off to go find Bell.
"Mmmm c'mon Finn! Do I really got to be here for this? I have some alcohol with my name on it waiting for me!" Loki whined to her captain.
"Calm down Loki it's just one kid. We'll be done here soon."
"Hmmm. Oh all right. But you're getting me some soma wine later!"
'Ugh not again' he thought to himself smiling at his goddess' antics.
Light footsteps alerted Finn that someone was coming and he went back into commander mode.
"Excuse me, Finn. I brought him here." Raul said behind the door.
"Come in." Finn told them.
"Here he is Finn. His name is Bell Cranel. Bell meet the captain of the Loki familia Finn Deimne. And of course, our goddess Loki." Raul said introducing everyone.
"Hello Finn. Loki. I am Bell Cranel. It is an honor to meet you two." Bell said, obviously nervous.
"We heard kid. No need to act all jumpy, we just met." Loki told him.
"Hello there Bell. As Raul said, I am the captain of this familia. Nice to meet you. You can go now Raul." Finn said sending him on his way.
"Ahh, yes captain. Have a good day." Raul replied, sending a good luck nod to Bell as he left.
"So, you want to join the familia huh?" Finn questioned him getting straight to the point.
"Ah uhm, yes. I want to be an adventurer and my grandfather said joining a strong famila would be help a lot." He replied.
"Your grandfather is correct: joining a strong familia would help you tremendously as they have the experience and the means to teach and train you well. Here is where a problem arises. What can you do for the familia in return?" Finn said questioning him.
"Well, I heard about your familia being a dungeon diving one that goes to the lower floors regularly. I want to go there too eventually and I would like to help you all down there. I know I'm not strong now, but I promise I will train as hard as I can and push myself to join you all." Bell stated.
"Yeah yeah. No offense to you Bell but I've heard it all before. People overconfident in there ability to grow that they slack off as soon as they reach somewhere. We're not looking for that here." He replied harshly.
Loki had just sat there watching patiently. He wasn't lying about pushing himself. In fact, looking at the kid again, he already has some muscle on him. That sword ain't for show either. He has a certain aura around him. I really didn't want to be here and do all this but I can't be mad at the kid. Hmmmmm… agh what the hell. I think I'll give the kid a chance. This could be fun.
"Come ooon Finn. Don't be so mean to the kid. You just met him and you're already gonna scare him off." She told her captain.
"Ah, my bad. It's rude to assume you to be like other people." He said sheepishly.
'That's odd. Loki usually doesn't take other peoples sides. Unless they're a girl. Does she see something in him? Now that I'm thinking about it, he does look like he's had some training as he looks to be in shape and is carrying that sword of his like it's nothing.' He thought to himself.
"No that's okay. You don't want to carry around excess weight I understand that." Bell replied.
"No, no. it's my fault for behaving like that. Say, that sword there. Mind if I see it?" Finn asked.
"Huh? Oh, sure I don't mind. I'm sorry I probably shouldn't be carrying it around in someone else's home." Bell replied while handing his sword over.
"It's perfectly fine. Besides, try anything and we'll cut you." Finn said while unintentionally scaring the shit out of him.
'Hmmm. It's not too bad a sword, for a beginner. It's got a few nicks and scratches on it. Probably from training with it. It's not that he's not maintaining it well, it looks like he just doesn't have the knowledge or tools to do it well. I don't see any scars from what I can see so I imagine that he just trained by himself. Is he from outside of Orario? The rust could be from monster blood and he can't go into the dungeon without a falna. I really hope it's monster blood. … Nah he doesn't seem like a killer so it has to be from monsters.'
"Where are you from if you don't mind me asking."
"Uh well I'm from a village near some mountains that's about 2 weeks out by carriage." Bell replied. "I just arrived in Orario today." He added.
"Oh my. Well let me be the first to say welcome to Orario. I hope your trip was well. When you said 'join a strong familia', does that imply that you haven't joined one?" Finn questioned him.
"Ah no I have not. This is the first familia I went to." Bell answered.
"That's very bold of you to think you can just join my familia right off the bat." Loki said to tease him.
"AH! IM SO SORRY! I didn't mean anything by it!" Bell said panicking.
"HAHAHA! YOU BELIEVED THAT?! AHAHA! I'm sorry Bell I'm just messing with you." Loki said in between laughs.
'GODS THIS KIDS' A RIOT! Ah Finn's going to make me apologize to him later. No matter! I definitely want to see this kids' reactions more. They're hilarious! Loki thought to herself.
'She finds just about anything amusing. Guess that means she likes the kid now. Huh now I'm curious about him. I kind of want to see what he can do. Let's see if this sword is for show or not. Finn thought to himself. So far his thumb hasn't ached one bit so he knows that Bell isn't bad news. Now that he wants to test him to see what he's got, he decided to do a quick spar with him.
"Say Bell, you know how to use this sword?" He said casting the bait.
"Wha? Oh. Yes I do. I trained with it since I was little and have been able to take out many surface monsters with it. I took down a huge orc the other day so I'm pretty sure I do." He said slightly bragging. Unknowingly, he fell into a trap.
"Oh ho, confident, are we? We'll have to fix that if you want to join. How about a little spar with me to fix your ego?" Finn teased.
"HUH?! Wait no! I take it back! It was a surface monster so it's really weak compared to its dungeon counterpart! You probably kill those things as a light warm up so please spare me!" He pleaded with everything he had.
"Too late Bell! Follow me out to the courtyard." Finn said with a mischievous smile while dragging him.
"NOOOO!" Bell screamed while accepting his fate.
Loki was just losing it and couldn't stop laughing at the sight in front her. 'OH GODS! I'm really rubbing off on him! I'm so proud! This'll be amazing! Oh! Better get "mama" to heal Bell after this. Trained or not, Finn's still a high level 6 and Bell doesn't have a falna.
….
Many members of the Loki familia were completely and utterly confused upon seeing their calm and collected captain wearing a mischievous smile while dragging a poor helpless rabbit toward the courtyard. Many questions arose from this.
"Hey hey, what's going on? Why's Finn dragging him around like that? It's weird." An amazon asked another.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN WEIRD?! NOTHING ABOUT THE CAPTAIN IS WEIRD!" The other shouted. ($5 to whoever can guess who this is lmao)
"What on gekai is going on here?" A certain high elf asked.
"OH! MAMA! We're gonna need ya in a bit!." Loki informed her.
"And just who are you calling 'mama'?" The high elf replied.
"Ah that title certainly fits you ya elf!" A short dwarf told her.
"Shut it you. Loki. What's going on and why is Finn dragging that boy?" She asked.
"Ah, well, the kid wants to join the familia. After talking with us Finn decided to test him to see what he's made of. That's why we need you to heal him afterwards." Loki told her.
"Are you sure that's wise? He doesn't look like he has a falna and Finn is a level 6 so he'll just wipe the floor with him." She said concerned.
"Mmmm yeah, probably. But it should be fun to watch!" Loki said, excited to see what would happen.
By now Finn and Bell were in the courtyard and drew a small crowd of anxious observers. Some wanted to see what the young boy had to make the captain want to spar with him. Others just wanted to see the captain spar (looking at you tione), or were just completely and utterly confused at the situation.
I'm sorry Bell! I had no idea you'd have to fight the captain! May you have a quick death. Raul thought to himself.
Why do I get the feeling that everyone thinks I'm done for? Bell asked himself
"So, Bell, you ready?" Finn asked him while equipping himself with a nearby training spear. "Don't worry, I'll be holding back significantly. Can't have you dying here; it'd take forever to clean." He joked
'Wonderful.' Bell really hoped he was joking on that last part. 'Well, there's no time like the present. Finn practically handed me a chance to join. No. He's challenging me to see if I have what it takes to join the familia. I need to impress him as much as I can. No holding back! I can do this. …. I reeeeally hope they have a healer on standby.
Bell quickly drew his sword and got in a readying stance. He was not going to let this chance go to waste. He knew he might have an easier time trying to join another familia but now, now, he wanted to prove himself against the best of the best. He could also see how far he has to go to become an adventurer just like his grandfather wanted him too. And maybe, just maybe, he could become a …
"I'm ready." Bell stated fiercly.
"Then. Let's. Begin!" Finn said as he thrust his sphere at Bell and Bell, surprisingly, blocked it with his sword and swung his sword in retaliation. Finn simply pulled back his spear and caught the sword as fast as he did. Seeing his swing blocked Bell opted for a kick to Finn's side, only for the prum to jump away. Bell followed up with another swing of his sword, but yet again, was blocked.
"Too slow Bell. You wont win if that's all you can do. How do you expect to join us in the dungeon all sloppy like that?" Finn said while trying to get Bell to slip up. He didn't expect Bell to continue on unphased. Huh so mind games won't work on him? Good. Many people tend to make mistakes when they're insulted. If he can keep a level like this in the dungeon then he'll do great. Only a matter of time before he can join us in the deep floors. Now though, I have a spar to win!
Bell kept on swinging his sword and mixed some kicks and punches in. Admittedly, he was a bit sloppy. There's only so much you could learn by yourself. But even so, Bell was still holding out on his own very well. (Even if Finn was holding back quite a lot.) Out of nowhere, Bell pulled out a knife and slashed at Finn. Finn, not expecting that, only managed to dodge because his thumb started tingle. Even then, Bell still managed to cut him a bit and drew the first blood. Finn responded by swatting him away as he backed up.
"Smart. I wasn't expecting that. Where did you get the knife from?" He asked him.
"Aw come on Finn. Can't expect me to reveal all my tricks now can you? I still have a fight to win." Bell answered cheekily.
"We'll see about that Bell!" Finn replied as Bell rushed him.
Everyone else was just baffled by what was going on. Sure, Finn was holding back otherwise he'd win. But even so, Bell was still keeping the fight interesting. They were wondering if Bell could actually do it.
"Woooah. I don't know who that boy is but he sure is giving Finn a hard time!" An amazon said.
"Shut it you! Though I do have to admit, while he's not the best with that sword I definitely see the potential in him. Hey Aiz, what do you think?" The other amazon asked.
"… Nothing eh? Well can't expect much from you Aiz, all you want to do is get stronger." She added.
How is he keeping up with Finn? Sure he's holding back, but still. Is he a mid level 1? The blonde-haired woman, Aiz, asked herself. With a little training he could get even stronger.
"Hah…hah… hah…" Poor Bell was already getting tired. Holding back or not, Finn still had the endurance of a level 6. Plus years of fighting and training meant that this spar was barely a workout. But still, why wouldn't his thumb stop throbbing? Finn wanted to keep going and see even more of what Bell could do but he didn't want to break his spirit. Whether Bell won or not, he'd still let him in to the familia. Those eyes. He's not giving up. He still has a trick up his sleeve. What could it be? Better end it before I find out.
'Man, Finn sure is tough. I'm giving it my all but he still seems practically unfazed, save for that cut. I think I have a plan.' Bell thought to himself while quickly coming up with a plan
Finn decided to end it right here before a certain werewolf could show up and mock Bell for losing. Seeing that Bell was out of breath, he decided to land a hit on him with the blunt side of the blade to force him to surrender. Bad move. Just as he swung his spear, his thumb started to ache more than before. Bell had swung his sword yet again, but this time not at Finn, but at his spear. He sliced at the middle part of the staff and let the side with the blade fall to the ground. He continued by trying to slash Finn and end it before he could retaliate. Finn caught on and went to block it, only falling into Bells trap. Before Bell attacked, he threw his knife at him which caused him to jump back in surprise, accidentally using his full speed to dodge. But Bell didn't let up. He charged again to try to land a decisive blow and win. Finn just used the rest of the staff left to block it, completely stopping Bell in his tracks and destroying his plan. Victory was in arms reach for Finn. Or was it? What Finn wasn't expecting, or what anyone else was expecting, was for Bell to have a second knife right at Finn's throat. Only a drop of blood came out. But that was enough. It meant that if Bell were any stronger or if this was an actual fight it meant that Bell would have cut his throat. He wouldn't be making any orders out anymore should that happen.
"Hey, this means I win right Finn? Or should I say? Captain?" Bell asked smugly.
"Heh. I'm impressed. But don't get cocky Bell." Finn said while just grabbing Bells' head and dropping it into the ground. Hey don't blame him; he still had to show who's the boss around him. Or maybe he was salty he lost, who knows?
"WOOOW! He beat Finn! Amazing!" The amazon couldn't help but bounce around with excitement now that someone interesting was joining.
"He was holding back you know! Though I was surprised he pulled it off at the end." The other said
'That was amazing. Yeah Finn was holding back but still. "Uhm is he going to be alright?" Aiz asked.
"Ughh step aside. I'll go heal him." The high elf said while making her way there to heal the boy? 'Was Aiz concerned for him? Later. First things first, make sure Finn didn't kill him accidentally.' She thought to herself.
"HAHA! The kids' got spunk I'll give him that!" The dwarf laughed.
"Hehe. If he's this strong now I can't wait to see how he does once he has a falna." Loki thought outloud.
"WAIT! YOU'RE SAYING HE DID THAT WITHOUT A FALNA?" A certain elf asked her goddess.
"Huh? Yeah. Wasn't that obvious?" She replied while making sure she wasn't now deaf.
"Huh. I thought he was a low to mid-level one with how he moved." One of the amazons said.
"Oh that's probably cuz of his training. He looks like he's had some training and he's killed surface monsters with that sword. Sure they're weaker than normal but for someone without a falna they're a great challenge." Loki replied nonchalantly.
'Oh looks like this'll be fun.' She thought to herself. If the gods craved one thing the most then that'd be entertainment. And after this Loki could all but wait to see how things would turn out.
"Are you okay Bell? Sorry I kinda lost my cool there" Finn asked him.
"You think?" The high elf replied.
"Ah don't look at me like that Riveria. He looks fine now." He said.
"Yeah, now." She repeated. "How are you felling Mr.?" She asked hoping for his name.
"Bell Cranel. Nice to meet you. You're Nine Hell right? Riveria Ljos Alf?" He said, hoping he said her name right.
"Yes. Pleasure to meet you Mr. Cranel. I take it this was meant to test your skills to see if you can join us?" She asked.
"Well I hope so. I didn't sign up to be Finn's punching bag." He joked.
"Yes it was. As I said, I was very impressed with you Bell. I wasn't expecting that from you. I never even saw the second knife. Where was it if I may ask?"
"Ah ah. Secrets Finn." He smiled.
"Yeah, yeah. Let's see what Loki says. Ultimately it's her decision as it's her blessing you're getting." And seemingly teleporting out of nowhere "HE'S IN!" She yelled. "Well kid, looks like you're one of us now." A dwarf said appearing next to the others.
"Heeeey. How did you beat Finn? Are you strong? Did you have that plan all along? Want to fight?" The upbeat amazon asked Bell.
"Quit it you. Introduce yourself first at least. Hi there, I'm Tione Hiryute. This idiot is my idiot sister, Tiona." The other amazon introduced herself and her twin.
"Hey! Who are you calling an idiot?" "Well you, you idiot." "AHH WHY YOU!" And they were off.
"Uhhh. Is that normal?" Bell asked nervously.
"Ah don't worry about them. It's their way of showing they care for one another." The dwarf said.
'If that's how they show they care for each other, what does it look like when they're arguing with one another?' Bell asked himself too scared to think what it would look like.
"Ah guess I haven't introduced myself have I? My name's Gareth Landrock. Pleasure to meet you." He told him
"Bell Cranel. Likewise." Bell replied.
"The quiet one over there is Aiz Wallenstein. At least say hello Aiz." He said.
"Nice to meet you." She said with her usual stoic face.
"Nice to meet you too." Bell replied. Oh no she's hot! He internally panicked. He secretly hoped he had made a good impression in front of her.
"Enough with the introductions we can do that later. I need to give him my blessing. See y'all later" Loki said while kidnapping Bell to her room
'Is this going to be a recurring thing?' He pitifully asked himself.
(AN: Yes it is Bell! It's what you get as punishment when you run away from everyone's favorite sword princess!)
After what seemed like hours to Bell they finally made it to Loki's room. It looked cozy enough, if you considered 30+ barrels of alcohol cozy. How does one drink so much?
"Alright kid. Strip!" She yelled.
"Excuse me?!" Bell said scared out of his mind.
"HA! Relax kid. Just take your shirt off and sit on this stool. I'll need to see your back in order to give my blessing." She explained.
"Oh. Okay." Bell said now understanding what she meant.
After sitting down Loki pricked her finger with a needle and let a drop of her divine blood fall onto his back. After that all werid types of symbols and letters and numbers showed up. A few minutes later she pushed all of it onto his back which now displayed the loki familia emblem. The symbol of the trickster.
Bell Cranel
Human
Strength: I 0
Defense: I 0
Dexterity: I 0
Agility: I 0
Magic: I 0
"Well, congratulations. You are now apart of the best familia in the world!" Loki bragged.
"It feels great. Thank you so much goddess Loki!" He said thanking her over and over.
"Hey don't sweat it kid. You earned it. Now! It should be around lunch time. Let's head over to the cafeteria and introduce you to everyone." She told him.
"Right."
As they were making their way there Bell tried mentally mapping out the place so that he won't have to rely on others too much and not get lost too often. He took note of the places' unique design and its décor. He could get used to this. It was nice to be in a home again. 'Home huh? Bell couldn't help but remember his old home and its memories with his grandfather. His sad expression was noticed by his goddess.
"Hey what's wrong Bell? Something the matter?" She questioned him.
"Huh? Oh no. It's just this place is really nice and warm like a home. I couldn't help but remember my old home with my grandfather. It was nice like this." He told her.
"What happened to your grandfather?"
"He uh, he died in a hunting accident. The hunting party was overrun with monsters and he died saving someone else before I could get there." He said letting the memories flood back and let a few tears flow. Loki immediately put an arm around his head and brought him to her shoulder. "I'm sorry about your loss. It's sad to see someone you love go. The important thing is to keep on going for them. I've lost members before and I loved every single one of them and hated to see them go. You're a part of my familia now so I won't forgive you if you go dying on me now." She smiled at him to ease his feelings. The one thing she hated most was to see her precious children go and she would never get used to it.
"I'm sorry about that and don't worry goddess I won't let you down." He told her while drying his eyes and strengthening his resolve. He knew loss and didn't want to see his new goddess feel the same because of him anytime soon.
"Thank you Bell. Now let's go get some food I'm hungry!" She said rushing off to steal some food. Bell laughed at her antics deciding he definitely wouldn't mind getting used to this.
After a few more minutes of walking they made it to the cafeteria to see everyone sitting down together to eat. One of Loki's rules was that everyone were to eat together and that made them be seen as one huge family, which they all were. After grabbing a plate and getting some food they found the executives table and sat with them. After letting everyone eat for a few minutes Finn stood up and got everyone's attention.
"Hello everyone. As some of you may have guessed, this young man is Bell Cranel and he is our newest familia member. I expect you all to treat him well. Bete I'm looking at you." A loud "tch" could be heard a few tables over and that got a laugh out of everyone.
They spent the rest of their lunch eating and talking about their upcoming deep floor expedition while Bell sat back listening in. He may not be able to join them anytime soon but that didn't mean he couldn't pick up a thing or two to prepare for the future. Afterwards Finn took him to the guild to register him as an adventurer and a new familia member. On their way out Raul congratulated Bell on joining the familia. On their way there Bell was asking Finn about Orario in order to better familiarize himself with the city. Finn also asked him about his trip to Orario. As soon as they got to the guild they made their way up to the front desk to see about getting Bell an advisor. They could teach Bell everything they knew about the dungeon but everyone was already strong enough to handle to the lower floor so their knowledge about the first floors were a bit rusty. It's not like they needed to know much as most monsters stayed away from the familia on their way down.
"Hello Finn. What can I do for the Loki familia today?" A half-elf asked the prum.
"Ah hello there Eina. I'm actually here because of this young man. Meet the newest edition to the Loki familia – Bell Cranel." He said introducing Bell.
(I don't actually know if Finn knew Eina in canon, but for the sake of story I'll just say he met her a few times with Riveria as they knew each other.)
"Hello there Bell. My name is Eina Tulle. Pleasure to meet you." She said.
"Likewise it's a pleasure to meet you too." He answered.
"I'm here to register him as an adventurer and was hoping that you would be his dungeon advisor." He said.
"If you're fine with me, I'll be happy to! Just sign out these forms you too and then we'll be on our way." Eina told them while handed out said forms.
"Annnd done. Here you go." Finn said handing the forms back to her. Yes! All according to plan! He thought to himself mischievously.
"Before you go, would you mind telling Bell here all about the dungeon floors? He's still new here and needs his trusty advisor to help him out" he said completely throwing Bell under the bus. Forget the bus, he's throwing Bell under a giant roaring storm otherwise known as elven teaching. If Eina's teaching was anything like Riveria's, some may even say it's worse, then Bell would be going through hell and back with them both. And Finn had completely and utterly planned for it! So he was still upset, sue him. This is the last thing he'll do to the poor boy. Probably.
"Yes, right this way Bell. I'll teach you everything I know." Eina said while holding out an oversized book that had papers bulging out.
"Uhhhh. Is that everything about the dungeon?" He asked while intimidated by the book.
"Oh this? No silly, this is only the first 5 floors." She chuckled.
Bell shot an immediate glare at Finn silently cursing him for the fate that awaited him. Finn just watched as Bell was once again dragged off. Oh this was going to be so much fun!
Annnd done! Over 5k words this chapter excluding my notes (almost 6k words including). Damn this was a long one. You guys wanted longer chapters, you guys are gonna get longer chapters now! Now it means a longer wait time. I think I can keep going with the longer chapters now. But please tell me how I did the fight scene. I'm pretty confident with the story but the fight scenes scare me as it's my first time doing them. Granted this is technically the second one but can we really count the orc as a fight scene? Please leave more reviews so that I'll know what I need to fix and improve on. Thank you all and have a great day!
