Chapter Three, Bell's Home

"Welcome back Bell!" She then looked at me and was puzzled.

"Who is he?" She asked pointing to me.

"This is Max, he just signed up as a adventurer today. Max, I would like you to meet Haruhime. Haruhime, this is Max." Bell said and gestured toward us.

"It's nice to meet you Haruhime" I said.

"Same, I hope we can get along!" she said cheerfully.

Haruhime led us inside to the main room of the mansion. She turned around and said, "why don't you go find something to keep yourself busy? I'll prepare your room while you are busy".

The mansion was quite stunning. In the center of the floor, there was a picture made of colored glass and more. Ok the ceiling, there was a chandelier hanging. The room had too much detail to note all.

"Okay, thanks" I responded.

Haruhime went upstairs to prepare my room. "So Bell, what can I do to help you out? You are letting me stay here" I asked

"Hmmm, I'll think of something. Hang on! Yes that's perfect!" Bell said randomly

"What's perfect?" I asked intrigued.

"Maybe, if by a long shot could you join my familia?" Bell asked hopefully.

I thought for a moment. "Pros, I can stay here, train with Bell, learn how to fight, be friends although he won't let me not be his friends. Cons," I couldn't think of anything bad at the moment.

I looked at Bell, "I'd love to!" I said with a smile.

"That's so great! Oops, I forgot that goddess Hestia will have to approve of it" Bell said

"I'm sure we can convince her. But anyways, do you have a training area? I want to try to fight with my weapon" I said showing Anaklusmos.

"We sure do, follow me!" Bell said wondering how I got my weapon.

Bell led me through a few hallways to a room full of training equipment. There were weapons, target dummies, and more leaned against the walls. The room had a lot of space to practice mobility and such.

"I wonder how ill face against Bell" i thought curiously

"Just a warning, I'll go easy on you since you do not have falna like all adventurers" Bell warned

"Nah, don't hold back" I said instantly and surprising myself.

"Why did I say that?!! I'm certainly not able to hold my own without falna! Why does it feel like I can take him?!" The more I thought about it, the more assured I became with taking Bell head on with him not holding back.

I unsheathed Anaklusmos. It's celestial bronze gleamed with the torch lights in the background. It was still in a dagger form. I turned it around in my hands to analyze it. It was a simple dagger, beautiful but deadly. It had a gem on the bottom of the hilt. "I wonder what will happen if I-" i was interrupted mid thought by Bell.

"Alright! We are about to start!" Bell said. He unsheathed the Hestia knife and took his combat position. He started to attack

My body instinctively went into a battle stance, pushed on the gem on the hilt and Anaklusmos changed into the balanced sword Percy had used.

"Why do I feel like I've done this before?" Bell was surprised but didn't falter on his attack.

I instinctively blocked Bell's attack, apparently with a technique that surprised Bell. I used his stunned reaction to my advantage. I slipped behind Bell with speed I hadn't thought I had and disarmed him then knocking him down.

"How did you do that? You used a attack to block my attack but was able to still carry out your own attack. I only know of a few who can do that" Bell asked after standing.

"And how did you change that dagger into a sword, did you use magic?" Bell asked

I had to lie for now. "I got it from a friend" I lied.

"I'm not sure, I did it instinctively" I said desperate to get on a different topic.

Do you have amnesia? That could be a reason" Bell offered

I shook my head. "If I had amnesia, I wouldn't have needed to sign up to become a adventurer. The guild would've showed my card."

Bell was hard in thought, he stood up after a few minutes. "I'll ask some friends later but why don't we go and get something to eat for dinner?"

"Sure, I'm starving!" I responded. We started to walk towards the mess hall.

At dinner,

The only ones that seemed to be at the mansion with us was at the table. Sitting at the table only was Bell, me, Hestia, and Haruhime. They were talking while I was thinking about how I quickly disarmed Bell.

"How did I do that? It seemed as though what I did required practice, but I haven't been here before." Bell nudged me.

"Huh?" I asked looking up.

"If you don't eat now your food will get cold." Bell said.

"Oh, sorry" I started to eat.

When I was halfway finished with my dinner, Hestia asked, "So Bell, what did you want to talk about?"

"I wanted to talk about getting Max into the famila! He has already agreed to it if you were going to ask." Bell explained.

"Hmm.."Hestia started.

"That's right! I wanted to repay Bell for letting me stay here so what's a better way to repay than joining your famila and helping you?" I said.

"I'll think on it tonight, I'll let you know in the morning." Hestia said standing up. "I'm going to get some sleep, good night Bell".

"Night goddess." Bell responded.

After dinner, Haruhime led me to my room. Haruhime turned around and said, "based on your looks, I tried my best to change the room to suit you"

"Thank you" I responded. Haruhime bowed and went back down to do chores.

"Let's see what I'm working with." I opened the door and the room couldn't be any better. There was a king bed in the center of the room, there were a table for what I can do, strangely a anvil, hearth and more blacksmith stuff in a corner. There was a spot on the desk to hold Anaklusmos In dagger form and lastly, ink with paper to write with.

"Huh, I guess I'll try blacksmithing later"

I sat down on the bed and decided to open the bag. Inside the bag contained a piece of paper, materials I assumed for blacksmithing, a pair of clothes, a piece of wood and folded up papers that had words on it.

I took out the piece of paper and what was wrote on it said," This is a check for One Million valice in cash or credit and the amount is deducted from this account. ——" It was written in a language I couldn't understand at the time. I jumped like when you got startled.

I thought "why in the world would someone give me one million valice?!!". I pulled the rest of the stuff out. When I pulled out the pair of clothes, I noticed a jewl under it. When I touched it, it flashed random colors that definitely could be a seizure hazard. I had to cover my eyes because it was so bright. After the light faded, I looked at the jewl. It was turning to dust.

"Oh crap! I hope I didn't mess that up" I exclaimed loudly. I was exhausted from what I did earlier in the day and decided to sleep on it.

At the Loki Familia home

The Loki familia just finished a party and they just got back home. Everyone was tired and they all fell asleep. All except Riveria. She was in her room studying a old orb, it was so old it was from Riveria's childhood.

Riveria was about to go to sleep when the orb sparked. Riveria Mind was filled with visions. The visions were equally scaring, calming and reassuring somehow. After the visions ended, Riveria smiled a little to herself. "I guess he is back after all this time." She whispered.
