The next day Rimuru pov
Ah finally time to go into the labyrinth. But first
I looked at bell sleeping peacefully.
Lets wake him up
Using a bit of lightning I shocked him at the back of the neck.
"Gyaaah" Bell woke up immediately and had his hair stuck up.
"Morning" I looked at him. If he saw my face under thr mask he would know I was grinning underneath.
"Captain what was that for" Bell I guess was not used to early rising.
"You need to wake up training starts now. Freshen up you look like the dead".
"Ah right".
As we were brushing out teeth Hestia woke up.
"Ah your awake. Since you guys are heading to the dungeon today i guess i should explain that the guild will be checking your stats. Bell your a starter so you don't have to worry much. But Rimuru I must warn you that level 6 is rare outside of Orario. You might cause an uproar."
Hmm she's right. Ah oh well not my problem.
"Eh I'll be fine. It's not as if they could do anything right."
"Ah your right. And it's not as if you could change familia right now. But still your gonna be the tell of the town for a few weeks."
"Alright bell if your finished go outside to the tower of Babel".
"Oh alright" I finish up and bell followed soon after.
"I'll drop you off with an advisor. After your lessons are complex ill start combat training". Actually I just want to start exploring.
Bell pov
Ah I guess captain is right. In so weak that I'll probably hold her back. I guess I just have to get stronger.
As we head inside the tower of Babel Rimuru walks up to the counter
"Excuse me can I get an advisor for the guy behind me. I also want to head inside the dungeon"
"The kid can get an advisor but... How old are you kid."
"Check my stats first"
They both enter a private room and after a few minutes he was loud enough that I could hear out the door.
"HOW DID YOU" after that silence
"Rimuru is everything okay."
" yep the clerk is still alive if that's what your asking"
I step inside the room and see Rimuru standing behind the clerk holding some sort of thread that kept Clerics mouth shut.
After seeing me Rimuru releases the thread and the cleric apologises.
"My apologies. You looked so young rust I thought you were just guiding the one behind you.
"Eh it's fine"
"Very well I'll get an advisor for the starter" with that I was taken to another room where I young woman with brown hair glasses and a suit was waiting.
"Hello I'm your advisor starting today. My name is Eina tuelle. You must be Bell cranel of the hestia familia. Your captain already told us you are a starter so we'll work from scratch." Eina had said these words and began tgr lesson.
Rimuru's pov
The clerk had called up an advisor for bell when i asked him to but he tI'll me ibside a room to check my stats.
When he did he was completely shocked.
"How did you-" I came up behind him and shut his mouth with steel thread.
"People outside can hear you. This isn't the private room you use for advisors."
When bell came in the cleric apologized and took him to a room with an advisor waiting for him.
When he came back took me to a room with a large stairwell going down.
"Thisis the entrance to the dungeon. Here I must warn you that we are not responsible for your life beyond this point."
"That's fine so I gotta head down. Lets see if I can make it to floor 50".
"A difficult goal to be sure but if your heasing that deep there is a resting poibt at floor 18".
"Ah thanks"
With that I start heading down. The first 10 floors were to easy that they died in one hit.
Heh to weak
When i got to floor 17. I found a large grey skinned giant.
Impressive but to weak
One slash was all it took
Going in to the 18th floor I found just like the cleric said. They accept this worlds currency vallisis and magic stones as payment. Lucky enough I had all the magic stones from the monsters.
Looking around I found a book with all the floors monster stats all the way down to floor 35.
This might be useful to bell. When I leave bell would need to train new recruits.
As I leave and continue to head down to floor 36. As I'm traveling trying to find the floors stairwell. There's when I heard a group of footsteps running towards me followed by what seems to be a horde of monsters.
That's when I saw them. A party of six people running. Lead by a short guy with blonde hair and a bowl cut. 2 dark skinned woman. An elf with green hair. A man with dog ears and a blonde woman wearing light armor.
When I called to them the short kid yelled "come with us and run"
Behind them i see a horde of monsters ranging from worms to skeletons all following a massive armored skeleton.
