AN: I would just like to inform people that I changed [True Martial Arts] to [True War Arts]. I did this some chapters back but forgot to mention it.

A few hours ago, Jaune and Hestia sold the weapons to Hephaestus, bought the building material from her, went back to the abandoned church, used the blueprint to build a new, massive, gigantic, mansion, which Jaune was not aware it would be that big. Hence, they had to apologize to the people in the surrounding area as their houses disappeared. Of course, Jaune paid them for the land and homes they owned. Thankfully, even after all that, they still had 300 million Valis remaining.

Hestia was resting in the living room, saying, "I never thought I would have such a mansion for my Familia. Thank you for allowing me to have something this great!"

Jaune patted Hestia's head, saying, "No problem. We will be the number one Familia in Orario. We'll show them the greatness of the Hestia Familia."

Hestia smiled and thought it was a joke. She didn't care about being number one as long as her Familia was safe. However, they are tempting words as she could not wait to shove them in the face of Loki. She had this weird expression as she thought about it. An expression Jaune thought was cute but others would find creepy.

Weiss asked Yang in a whisper, "Are we sure she is a Goddess?"

Yang replied, "I feel the same. She doesn't have this image of being a Goddess. She is sort of like Ruby. Easygoing and Carefree. She is short as well. Then again, we did get her blessing. That shows she is a Goddess."

Weiss said, "Still…It's just that I had this image of what a God or Goddess is. I thought they would be Holy, powerful, and not carefree and easygoing, with her standing on barefoot."

Yang said, "Not all our expectations would be as we imagined. Like me, I expected Ruby to be at Beacon in my third year, but instead, she is with us now. Or, I expected Ruby to be on a different team, but she ended up with me anyway."

Weiss sighed, saying, "I guess that's true. I did expect to be a team leader, but Ruby was chosen."

Nora was interested in something other than their conversation. She asked Jaune, "Jaune! When are we heading to the Dungeon? I want to kick some monster butt!"

Jaune replied, "We'll be heading there tomorrow. For today, get used to this place. Explore the city if you want, but please, do not do anything crazy. I believe in your strength, but I don't like seeing you get into trouble, like at Beacon."

Everyone looked at Jaune, and they were excited.

Nora replied with a salute, saying, "Aye! For you, Jaune, I will try my best not to do anything crazy!"

Jaune said, "I know you will, Nora. And that's the best I can ask from you."

On their way out, he gave them spending money. They each receive 1 million Valis.

Nora said when she saw the money, "Whoa! That's a lot of money! Can you think of all the pancakes I could eat? He-he-he!"

Lei said with a sigh, "Nora! I can't have you spending the money on pancakes…Do they even have pancakes here? Nevertheless, I won't let you do that."

Nora said with shock, "W-What? You would dare to deprive me, the Pancake Queen, her pancake? You, Miss, are now my Mortal enemy!"

Jaune interjected and said, "Lei is right, Nora. You can spend the money however you want, but not pancakes. Besides, there is no way there would be better pancakes than Lei and mine. We make the most delicious pancake and can make them for you. All you have to do is ask."

Nora jumped with Jaune and hugged Jaune, saying, "You guys are the best! What you said is the truth! There are no pancakes there that would taste better than both of yours since the secret ingredient is love! Your love for me! Ha-ha-ha!"

Jaune thought, 'She is adorable. How have I never noticed that before we had that thing? I'm so stupid.'

Jaune and Hestia remained the only ones in the house not long later. Out of curiosity, Hestia asked, "How about you, Jaune? Do you have any plans?"

Jaune replied, "Since I already explored the city a bit, I plan to practice."

Hestia wanted to see how Jaune trained, curious how he got so many titles. She said, "I get to see how someone like you, who got such titles, trains."

Jaune shook his head and said, "Not that kind of training, sorry. I plan to train my Manacraft. However, I am thinking of scouting the dungeon later. Also, I did promise Ruby that I would give her weapons special abilities. And an Arc never goes back on his words."

Hestia laughed, saying, "I like that. An Arc never goes back on their words. Is that your slogan?"

Jaune said, "Family motto. The Arc family has been a long line of Heroes. We uphold honor. Hence, when we make a promise, we honor it. Although, my parents told me there are exceptions. We can break promises we make due to false information or trickery."

Hestia watched Jaune train his Manacraft, and she was astonished. The ability to give, even a completed product, new skills was terrific. A simple knife was able to gain the ability to shoot a grabbling hook. Or one of the abilities Jaune gave the armor was the ability to produce spikes like a porcupine when enemies come into contact with it. One might think it is merely done through a hidden compartment, but that is not the case, as the equipment used was so thin that there was no place to put any mechanism.

She said to Jaune, "At first, I thought his ability was similar to the developmental ability Blacksmith, but I think it is more advanced."

However, Jaune was not down. The [Absolute Calculation] gave him knowledge of runes, which he could use to provide equipment with more abilities. Drawing runes on the simple knife allowed it to absorb residual mana in the air. He then added a spell formula that could be used by the one wielding the knife. The formula he added was Fire Tsunami, a spell that summons a firestorm similar to a tsunami.

Hestia had nothing to say to this when she saw Jaune test out the weapon on the mansion's training ground. Thankfully, it was reinforced to the extreme that the spell on the sword caused no damage.

With that, Jaune was done training his [Manacraft] and decided to head to the dungeon to scout the surroundings, leaving an astonished Hestia in the training room…Or, he could have done that, but he decided to bring her to the living room and seat her on the couch before leaving.

Arriving at the dungeon, Jaune may have the idea of scouting, but he also wants to try and push his [True War Arts] to the limit. Thus, he released his [Beast Takeover]. Now, all his stats are at 10.

Jaune smiled, thinking, 'This will be difficult but fun! Huh…when did I enjoy difficult situations? Last time, I would do anything to avoid it.'

Shaking his head, Jaune entered the tower and saw many people. Some of them are even in groups. And one group happens to catch his eye. The group consisted of two Elves, a Dwarf, a short-looking human that Jaune's instinct is telling him that he was not, a person with silver animal ears with a scowl on his face, and three girls that looked human, two of which had tanned skin.

Jaune thought, 'With everything they're bringing, they will probably stay in the dungeon for a long time. It's a shame they have to drag so many things. If I did not have [Item Box], I would be the same as them. Although, I could buy a [Bag of Holding] like the one I gave to Ruby and the others.'

As it turns out, the group he saw was the leading group, and many more were part of their expedition.

When Jaune looked away from the group, the brown-haired Elf looked in his direction as she felt someone looking at her, followed by the other Elf. This was noticed by one of their companions, the one with silver animal ears.

He asked the girls looking at Jaune, "What are you guys looking at?" seeing that they were looking at Jaune, someone he did not recognize, he added, "Huh! Why are you interested in that person? I've never seen him before. Probably a shitty level one that thought he would make it in the dungeon. I bet he would be dead not long later."

The short human-looking one said, "Bete, that's enough. Focus on ensuring we have everything we need to head to the deeper parts of the dungeon. You know how difficult our object is this time."

Bete clicked his tongue, saying, "Tsk! Why do I have to do this shitty job? You can ask some of the fodder over there to make sure everything is ready." He walked away.

The green-haired Elf asked the other, "Lefiya. Why were you looking at that man?"

She replied, "Oh, Riveria-san, I felt someone looking at me, then I saw him, and I felt like nature danced around him. Or something like that. I can't fully explain it."

Riveria said, "I felt that same thing. It was as if they were happy he was around."

One of the tanned girls said, "That man you guys were staring at is kind of interesting."

Lefiya said, "Ah! Tiona-san, when did you get behind me?"

The question went unanswered as Tiona said, "I have the urge to ask him for a fight. But the funny thing is, whenever I think about it, I feel like I would lose."

Bete, hearing this conversation, said, "Ha! Are you talking about that shitty Level 1? As if you'd lose to someone shitty like him."

Tiona had an eyebrow raised. She asked, "What makes you think he is a Level 1?"

Bete replied, "I saw him registering in the guild earlier today, and he didn't have a Familia before that."

Their discussion about Jaune went on without the man knowing.

As for Jaune, he had a deadpan look. The dungeon was the same one in his Dreamscape. The layout and even the monster on each floor were the same. The only difference is the way the monsters are spawned. In the Dreamscape, the monsters appear in a speck of light. But the dungeon here, they seemed to be birthed by the dungeon walls.

With a smile, Jaune said, "This is going to be fun!" he brandished a katana and started his hunt.
