Twilight Manor.

Normal POV.

Loki, Astrea and Alfia knew that his magic is very dangerous and could cause panick in public if it got out. It's power against the gods were unmatched and could make all the Familias turn on them if the gods knew a mortal could do this.

That's why the three of them were in trouble if they should hide it from everyone including Bell. In fear that he might or someone in their familia might leak the information.

"What do ya say Astrea?" Loki asked.

"I personally don't know but if I were you, I will tell him everything including the dangers of it's effects getting out. He might be an honest kid but I know for sure that he is not someone who can't keep a secret, especially if it means keeping that secret will protect someone important to him."

This made Alfia curious as to why the goddess of justice knows him too well. She then asked the two on what happened between her son and Astrea before she arrived leading to how quickly they became close just by talking once which made the silver haired women smile.

"I see... I also share the same opinion as goddess Astrea, I don't want to betray his trust. That's why I will tell him."

When Bell returned to the room, the three presented him his status, at first he was happy until he saw his magic.

It looks like he already knew the dangers of it's information getting out, this made the three of them smile before starting their conversation again.

"I told you Loki, my son is not an idiot like you." She said with a provoking smile.

"Wait how did I got roped into this!? Seriously... You're no different from Her-"

"Don't say it. Or I'll have Bell to completely oblitirate you." She threatened the goddess.

After arriving to the conclusion that no one other than them should know the effect his magic does to a god, they decided to just tell the others the two effects. And since they can't use it in practice since it will instantly kill anyone, they decided to just shrug it off and have him choose a weapon and test his combat abilities.

Stardust Garden Training Grounds.

Bell stood in front of them while thinking of what weapon to pick up, he knew that he could immediately master all of it by just touching it once but wants to use only 1 weapon.

"Is it okay if I try them all out?" He asked Finn.

"Okay, you can have Raul as your sparring partner since he can use a wide aray of weapons."

Bell scanned all the weapons in front of him and decided on what to try first.

He decided to pick a Boots that is shaped like a beast's feet and knuckles. While Raul picked a regular sword.

"Let's start Raul-san!"

"Alright, get ready newbie!"

The fight started with Raul attacking first. Swinging his sword and setting up trap attacks for Bell but for some reason, no matter how good it was placed, none of them landed on him.

On the other hand, while dodging and blocking every attacks, Bell couldn't help but be amazed in his own skill. Not only did his body knows what to do with this unfamiliar weapon at his hand but a type of fighting style suddenly also popped up in his head as soon as the fight began.

"Are you sure captain that he's just a level 1!? I mean, I'm already exhausted while he's not even sweating!" Raul started to complain.

"Are you giving up already? How can you easily give up like that!? He's just a kid!" Bete said irritated.

"I think it's a good equipment but I don't think this is for me... I'll choose another weapon."

Bell removed his equipment before starting to choose another weapon.

His eyes then landed on a curved sword with a single edge.

This is the first time he saw that type of sword but he already knew that that's the weapon he is looking for. He grabbed it along with it's scabbard before sheathing it and taking a stance.

"It feels comfortable to hold and it's curved blade and scabbard makes it easier to immediately draw the sword. Excellent for a quick or a surprise strike... May I ask what is this sword?"

"That sword is called Katana, it's a sword from far east that has a single edge. It is a sword does not rely on power but precision and technique. Want me to show you how to use it?" Kaguya smiled.

"Thanks but because of my skill, I already know how to use it and what type of techniques that can utilize it's unique design."

"Then the only thing left is to test it out huh...? Then get ready, I'll be your partner."

Kaguya's POV.

Now, let me see if what Alise said before was true.

We positioned ourselves into our own fighting stance. I decided not to use my quick draw for the time being and use a traditional Samurai Fighting Style.

"Let's go."

"Yes!"

The two of us launched at each other and as soon as our swords met, I already knew that he has already mastered the weapon he is holding.

Gradually, our fight became fiercer and fiercer until I was so close on fighting at my full strength.

I unconscously sheathed my sword and positioned myself for the Quick Draw technique but-

"That's enough, Kaguya, Bell you've both done well." Astrea-sama stopped our fight before it gets worse.

" That was close... I didn't knew that he was this skilled to make me almost go all out... I guess Alise was right after all " I said internally as we slowly catch our breath.

"Thank you so much... Kaguya-san, now I finally knew that this is the weapon I am looking for." He said while smiling innocently.

But too bad kid, I won't be easily charmed by you. Being innocent and cute won't be enough for me.

"Okay, now that you finally found a weapon you want to use, I think it's time that you go to dungeon to start your exploration. Since we don't have anything left to work on your fighting style, the only thing we can do is to have you rank up ones or twice depending on how much time you can spend inside the dungeon. Of course you won't go down there alone, since this is your first time. Someone has to accompany you and be your guide so you won't get lost. You can choose on whom you want to accompany you. That's all"

After explaining on what floors he will explore for his first dive, Finn told Bell to bid farewell to us before finally returning to their home.

He did as he was told, he apologized and thanked all of the executives and our goddess Astrea while holding her hands.

This made Lion a little angry (jealous) but held herself back from breaking his arm.

Few minutes later, he finally left our home living us all on our own.

"Ahh. Time sure flies... It felt like this whole month is just like a whole week..." I sighed to myself as I watch him disappear from outside of our gate.

Twilight Manor.

Normal POV.

As soon as Bell arrived at his room, he immediately opened his cabinet and get his adventurer clothes.

It's not that different from his usual attire but his black shirt now had a collar on them and his boots looks a lot sturdier than the one he is wearing back in Stardust Garden.

He immediately ran down not bothering to clean up the mess he made in his shared room with Hanataro, leaving the healer shocked by how much chaos he caused inside in such a short amount of time.

"Captain!" He shouted as he ran down the stairs which irritated Riveria but before she could speak. The silver haired women beat her into it.

"BELL!! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU TO NOT RUN DOWN AT THE STAIRS!?" She glaired at her child who immediately slowed his pace down after hearing her voice.

"I-I'm sorry..."

"Hahahaha!! No one can stand up to our Mommas!! We only have one before but now we've got two!!" Loki exclaimed in excitement.

As soon as Bell arrived at the entrance, Finn suggested that he should take someone with experience down with him. Even though he knew that it could be best for him to gain experience alone, it would beat the purpose of the war game if he were to die.

He was about to choose his mother but then asked if he could just borrow a map from their familia which Finn and the others hesitantly gave him.

"Are you sure about this? He's your son isn't he? Why aren't you worried?" Asked the jade colored princess.

"Precisely, he's my son and I know him too well. That's why I'm confident that he can manage all the upper floors by himself... I didn't race him to be a scaredy cat. Ever since he declared that he wants to become my hero, he asked me and Zard to train him everyday... That's why I'm sure that this is just a piece of cake for him." She smiled confidently while gazing at the back of her child.

"Thank you for letting me go alone, I know it's risky but after thinking about it, I think this is the best way to put all of my training and my experiences before arriving here into use. And this way, I can also test the effectivity of my skill... I'll be going. Bye everyone! By mom! I love you all!" The young hero waved before exiting their home. Leaving Finn and the others.

"I'll be waiting Bell" Alfia whispered to herself.

Bell walked down the main street that leads straight to the guild.

Excited about his first dungeon exploration, he unconciously started to run at a slow pace without looking in front of him led to him bumping to a person in a green waitress uniform.

Bell's POV.

"Ah.. Oh! I'm sorry, are you alright miss!?" I immediately extended a hand towards the girl on the ground.

"Yes... I'm fine, I just lost my balance because of our contact."

Her face was different but you can tell that she's also from the far east like Kaguya.

She had a black long hair tied in a mid ponytail that reaches to her upper back. Her large silver eyes that looks beautiful and her curvious body that fits her uniform too well. But she doesn't have an aura of a royalty like Kaguya.

But her presece and appearance was like finding a very beautiful flower that you didn't knew existed until you saw it. A once in a lifetime encounter with a beautiful and unparalleled flower that gives off the sweetest and most soothing sent matching with a gentle appearance that you just can't put into words.

Bell immediately felt his chest beating so hard as if someone was punching it from the inside. Her hands wer soft and her movement were so graceful it looks like she's moving very slow.

"Excuse me sir? Is something wrong? Are you hurt by any chance?" She took a closer look at me.

I was dumbstruck by her movement and worried look that I tripped for the second time.

I fell backward on the hard floor with a loud bang on my head.

"Oh! Are you alright!? You can rest inside our tavern if you want! We're still not open yet so I'm sure I can take care if you have any injuries!"

She kneeled and tried to help me up but this only made me nervous.

She slowly reached towards me but before she could touch me, I immediately stood up and ran towards the guild with my heart almost popping out of my chest everytime it beats.

I arrived at the front of the guild.

Panting heavily, I decided to catch my breath before entering. And a few seconds later, I finally started to realize what just happened earlier.

"W-Who? Who's that girl... She's on a different level than anyone I've seen before... AH."

I panicked when I saw my weapon missing. It was strapped on my waist earlier but I think I didn't lock it properly and fell when I bumped into that girl earlier.

"Wait... Does that mean I have to go back and meet her again...!!?? I can't... Just seeing her made me so nervous that it made me unable to speak! How am I supposed to talk to her!? No wait... I just have to grab my sword and make a run for it.. That's it! as soon as I saw it, I'll grab it and run at full speed! Alri-" But I was interrupted by that girl.

She was running towards me with my sword on her hand. Waving it towards my direction with a smile on her face that instantly brought back the sensation I've felt earlier.

" What the hell is going on with me!? My chest are beating so much whenever I see or hear her! Am I sick!? Or this is the thing that mom taught me back then when I was a kid...!? Don't tell me I fell in love at first sight!! "

A/N: Well, guess who's the new girl.

Hello, thanks for reading another chapter.

Sorry I couldn't write that much. I'm running out of ideas. I don't know why but I really am.

Chapters might come out a lot slower from now on, expect the wait to be as long as this or a lot longer because I'm going back to college to study some more.

That's all, thanks.
