Chapter 3:Adaptation

Narration....Finn Deimne

He was doing a routine tour of the twilight mansion like every day.

Just supervising the training of the members and helping them from time to time

I was on my way to my office to finish the day's paperwork.

I think that's the worst part of being the captain of the family

I walked through the hallways and accidentally ran into Loki's room.

Originally I had planned to pass by but seeing a glow coming from the edges of the door made me curious.

The respect I have for Loki is enough to not kick in the door like a certain beast-man would do.

So knocking on the door wait for twenty seconds

-...-

I played again

-...-

I played again

-...-

I played again

-...-

I am certainly someone who is patient but everything has a limit, right?

Sighing I grabbed the door knob and turned it.

A chaotic scene was revealed in the room

Riveria was applying a lock to Loki who was motionless.

Certainly the position they were in was a bit strange.

"Let go of me mom!" My face paled when I heard those words.

I understood that Loki's time in this world was over

I watched as Riveria stood still for a moment.

I thought maybe he hadn't cared so I sighed in relief.

I could not have been more wrong

Riveria, holding Loki by her hands and legs, raised her above his head.

And I threw her against the floor

Halfway there, he placed his knee in the middle of Loki's path and his back collided with Riveria's knee.

A horrifying sound of something breaking rang throughout the room.

"Are you OK?" oh a boy i don't know

"Don't worry, there are worse ones" Riveria spoke with a slightly strange face.

Oh, Loki is foaming at the mouth...

"So... Is he already there?" the boy spoke

Loki is foaming at the mouth

"Yep, easy right" Riveria spoke in a calm tone.

"Loki is foaming at the mouth!!" I inevitably screamed

"oh Finn, you're here"

I did not answer

I stared at the almost corpse-like body of what should be my goddess.

Point to Loki

Riveria followed the direction of my finger and saw Loki

"oh, that" because she speaks so calmly

I calmed down after hearing Riveria speak

-Do you know that that is our goddess? - I spoke with a contemptuous tone.

"Ah, that thing" I point to Loki.

"Don't worry, she'll be fine."

I took one last look at Loki before turning to the other person present in the room.

"What's your name?" I switched to my role as family captain while looking at the boy

"Hello! I'm Satoru Gojo, you can call me Satoru and I'm a new member of the family" he spoke in a happy tone.

"I see," I cleared my throat.

"My name is Finn Deimne and I am the captain of the family, you can call me whatever you want" I put a smile on my face, to relax the atmosphere

"Okay, can you tell Capi, Capi?" He said it twice, clearly he is going to tell me that even if I say no.

"it's okay" I didn't really care

"Very well, introductions made, I have something to report" Riveria took the floor.

"He is a magician type, and he can do spells without chanting" did I hear you right?

"wait, you said magic without spells?" I asked a little incredulously.

As far as I knew, you couldn't cast spells without chanting.

It is true that for the most experienced magicians, the chant could be shortened a little

But not having a song at all?

That was a hard thing to get.

"Yes, that's what I said." It's not that I didn't trust Riveria, but I had to see it with my own eyes.

"You can show" I couldn't finish.

"Noo" Rivera's scream took me by surprise.

"Don't say it," I put on an expression of disbelief.

"Because" Riveria turned to see Satoru.

"Hehehe, we haven't even known each other for a day and you already know me well, teacher" something definitely happened.

Wait

"Teacher?" I asked for

"I forgot to tell you, but due to Satoru's ability, I have decided to take him as a student" I certainly expected that.

Although Riveria had many disciples, the main one was Lefiya

She was the one I spent the most time with.

"You know how Lefiya will take this, right?" Lefiya had great Elf pride

That suddenly a human will arrive and crush her in something she considered herself an expert in would hit her.

And not just her, but all the elves in the family.

"I know, I'll talk to her" I sighed.

I actually hadn't noticed it until now.

But I think the blindfold on her eyes reveals her disability.

I wouldn't ask out of respect

After all it must have been something traumatic

"Okay, let's go outside" I didn't question anymore.

Later he would talk to Riveria

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

-This is going to be complicated- I spoke to no one in particular.

The complicated part of all this was the new member

He had already confirmed her ability and it was certainly incredible.

Exactly as Riveria said

I didn't need a single word to do magic

It was something incredible

But that would cause problems.

Other gods would be interested in him and would try to bring him to his side once the obligatory period was over.

There really wasn't much that other gods could offer that our family didn't.

The main problem was Freya

I would try to take him by his side anyway.

Although the positive thing was that his charm wouldn't work

He couldn't see after all

Although now he doubted that fact

He moved and dodged objects as if he could see them.

Riveria didn't know about this fact either.

I could see her curious face, that gave her away.

Now that she was in front of me, I could talk to her.

"What do you know about him?" I asked Riveria as she put my elbows on the desk.

"Not much, Satoru Gojo, 13 years old, although he was surprised when you mentioned this fact" he was surprised by his age?

"Tell me"

"Yes, I asked him why he surprised her and he told me that as far as he knew he was 10" as far as he knew huh

"He said that his parents didn't share a single trait with him, so I guess they must have adopted him" I see.

"I'll really ask him everything when it's our first study session."

"when you have finished that session, please inform me immediately" we really don't know anything

"Changing the subject, how will you deal with Lefiya when she finds out?" that girl was not easy to deal with, she was impulsive and very proud, she is also a Tsundere

"I plan to introduce them in this study session, I will see how Lefiya acts and try not to let her cross the line" hmm

That will be complicated

"I want them to get to know each other little by little and become friends" impossible

"Ugh, I won't burn my head with that" I gave him a look of pity.

"Don't look at me like that, I know I can do it" haaaaa, I don't believe it

Something must happen, something that makes them come closer

Narration....Lefiya Viridis

I was already ready

Study session is in a few minutes

I will be able to share pleasant moments with my teacher

It was always comforting to do so.

Although she has been busy these days so the sessions were void

That's why I was excited today.

We haven't had a study session just the two of us in a while.

I walked with small jumps out of excitement.

Some family members walked past me but I just ignored them.

Everyone except Aiz

The moment I saw her, I jumped on her

I spent a few minutes talking to her until I continued on my way.

I arrived at the door of the library

The sessions were always held here

Honestly for me it was better

It was very strange that there was someone

Upon entering I found the usual scene

Riveria-Sama sitting at the back of a wooden table along with two chairs on the opposite side

I was surprised because there were two chairs and not one, but I ignored it and sat in the one on the right.

"Hello Riveria-sama!" I spoke I spoke with an excited and exalted tone

"Hello, Lefiya," Riveria-sama spoke with a calm tone.

"Lefiya, I have something to tell you" eh, yes, she will finally give me her cane and she will tell me that I will be her successor.

I got excited and started to shake.

"Yes, Riveria-Sama, what is it?" I spoke with a voice that sounded more like a screech.

Say it

Say it

"Starting today you will have a partner in the study sessions" upon hearing those words I deflated.

"His name is Satoru Gojo and...he is a human" ah

"Riveria-sama, did he say that he was a human? I think my expression is not the most dignified of all.

"Yes, it is, I don't want you to judge him just because he is a human" hmmp

"But Riveria-Sama is a human, I can't believe it.

The last thing I want is for my study partner to be a human"

"What you are thinking and let me tell you that he can use magic, but that alone is not enough.

"But Riveria-Sama just using magic is not enough to be his student! - This is the last straw.

"Don't say that, in reality he can use magic without the need for a chant, that can't be possible.

"Riveria-sama, that is not possible, and even less than a human, they don't even have magic!" I think I am raising my voice a little

"Calm down Lefiya, he will show you once he arrives" tsk

"I'm sorry" I want to trust Riveria-sama but something like that...

I have to see it for myself

.

.

.

.

.

.

The minutes passed

The truth was I was already getting angry

The agreed time had already passed

I already have a bad first impression of that guy.

I was about to say something but the doors opened

"I'm sorry I'm late" yes of course

He was taller than me, he had distinctive features like his white hair or the blindfold.

He is blind

I got up from my seat and yelled at him.

"How dare you make Riveria-Sama wait!" I shouted quite loudly.

"Geez, I already said I'm sorry, you don't have to scream" I thought he would scream back at me.

I guess he's not arrogant

"Lefiya, calm down, I already apologized" Riveria-Sama defended him

"Tsk"

"Alright, take a seat Satoru" he sat next to me.

After a while he leaned back in his chair.

I got angry about this but ignored it.

After maintaining this position for a long time I became angry

"This is the last straw!" I shouted, directing my gaze towards my teacher.

"Riveria-sama is talking and you are not paying attention to anything" I directed my finger towards him.

"Lefiya, please" Riveria-Sama defended him

Before I could say anything he beat me to it

"I'm just hearing that I'm more comfortable in this position" that was the last straw.

"You don't!" Riveria-Sama raised her gaze from the book.

"Lefiya" don't pay attention to him

"Just because you are blind doesn't give you the right to act so arrogant in front of Riveria-Sama!" He sat down correctly and lowered his gaze a little.

"Lefiya!" Riveria-Sama's scream brought me back to reality

I processed what I said and he was about to apologize but he spoke.

"Blind you say?" He put his hand on his chin thoughtfully.

"Yes, it may seem, but in reality I am not blind, I can see" I was left with a strange face.

Why cover your eyes if you are not blind?

"Then why do you cover them?" curiosity got the better of me

"To look cool, fufufu" I can't stand it

*Pam*

I hit him right on the head.

"Ayy ay ay, alright alright, it's for my eyes" like she said

"Your eyes" Riveria-Sama beat me to it

"Yes, when I remove the blindfold from my eyes, they process all the information from everything I see, even what I don't see" that's new

"What do you mean by that?" Riveria-sama asked.

In short I can see everything, compositions, numbers, I can see the flow of mana as well as its element" that is incredible

"Really?!" maybe I raised my voice a little

"Yup, I can see the flow of mana through your body" wow

"Then why do you use the blindfold?" The truth is I was very curious

"They are called the six eyes, I receive information about everything I see, I cannot deactivate them" yes, but what does that have to do with the blindfold?

"then your brain is overwhelmed by the large amount of incoming information" Riveria-Sama is very intelligent

"Exactly, but seeing the mana flow is the best of all"

"Explain" Riveria said with a face of total curiosity

This was all new to both of us.

"Because I can manipulate elemental mana, and my eyes can see the flow and element of any spell, hehehe, I can copy it" I definitely hate those eyes

"So just by watching a spell being cast you can copy it?" Riveria-sama said in amazement

"That's right" that's theft!!

People try hard to get spells and he just copies them

"Well at least you can only copy three spells" I said.

"Ehh, because" he responded immediately

"Because you can only have three spells on your sword" I said with a clear face of obviousness.

"Actually, I can use magic since I was born, and as such I am not copying the spell, just the product, so there is no such limitation" I can't stand it.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH"

It's probably been heard throughout the mansion.

"Cough" *Cough* *Cough* I would like to see your eyes" I completely ignore my scream

"Sure" you too?

Although actually I was also curious what they looked like.

Maybe they were kind of strange or maybe they were ugly

He started to take off the blindfold.

From behind, he untied the knot and began to circle it around her head.

Once the blindfold was completely loosened, his eyes were closed.

When he opened them I was greeted by eyes I didn't expect.

I had both of different colors

The right eye was light blue, as light blue as the sky itself.

And the left one was silver, as much as the brightest armor of all

Each one shone with its respective color

I was amazed by those eyes...and I wasn't the only one

But really.....they were beautiful

Riveria-sama coughed

"Are your eyes like that because of your technique or were they like that?" That's weird?

"I don't know, since I had them from birth, the six eyes" he said and Riveria-Sama approached him.

A lot to tell the truth

He began to inspect her eyes

I did too

"Noo" I yelled mentally at what I was doing.

"I am a proud elf"

"H-hey," I stuttered.

"hmm" he looked at me.

"I'm sorry for yelling at you" I certainly wouldn't apologize for what I said.

But at least yes for having exalted me

"Okay, no problem," I sighed at his response.

It's good that he didn't bother

At the end of the study session we headed to the training fields

To test Satoru's ability

I don't want to admit it but I had connected a little with my study partner.

Although half the session was about his ability to control magic

I mean, it's not like it's a one-time thing.

I pouted thinking about this.

"..."

Who am I kidding, of course he is unique

That is something that has never been seen in history

Even, the worst of all is that he never said anything about me

He didn't get upset or make any expressions when he included me in the presentation.

I hate it

I was so deep in thought that I didn't realize we had already arrived.

"So Satoru, how many elements do you control?" Yes, I also want to know

I remained silent waiting for his response.

"Well, I have different control of all the elements, but the main ones are ice and wind" Ice, wind

I would like to see the ice

"I also control water, earth, fire, nature and some of its variations"

"Nature?" Riveria-Sama asked.

"Yep, it's more like something healing, I make it flow through my body and it heals my wounds"

"Do you know what the limit is?"

"I haven't gotten to that point, but slightly deep wounds heal them."

Hmm

"You also said something about variations."

It's true, maybe you could include me

"It is the result of mixing elements with others" I already understood

You see Riveria-Sama I am very intelligent

"For example, water with earth makes mud, nature with earth makes wood, the rest I have not tried yet"

Wait something is missing

"I ice?" I asked for

It should be something like cold water but it can only do elemental magic so it shouldn't be able to.

"Ice is a slightly different case"

"Ice is the product of mixing water and blue" I speak with simplicity

"Blue?" I had never heard of that mana

Not in any book or in the university where I studied

"Blue's type of mana is negative, it basically altered the nature of the mana in my body to add a burden to it" when he said this he made a slightly strange expression

I definitely didn't understand

"That's incredible, to be able to change the nature of mana, you are unique Satoru" I lowered my head a little upon hearing my teacher's words.

Riveria-sama didn't notice it

Maybe she was very excited about such a unique case

"And you can use it?" I kept my head up a little

I was also curious about this

"Yes I can do it"

I watched as she approached a test dummy and stopped right in front of it.

"I use blue as an offensive technique"

"I expelled it in all directions in my hands" a blue aura similar to a fire formed right in his hands

"And this increases the power of my attacks," he prepared to deliver a blow.

Pam

The entire test dummy was torn from the middle and flew until it crashed into a wall.

I looked at this with clear surprise.

I directed my gaze towards Riveria-Sama and saw her thoughtful.

Probably thinking about the different uses of this ability.

And although I don't want to admit it, I envy him.

Not only her eyes but also her techniques.

"If there is negative, there is also positive, right?"

I said that as a conclusion to myself.

After all, no one except Aiz takes me into account.

Nobody's going to answer anyway.

"Actually, you're right."

Hey.

"Just as there is negative there is positive."

Hey!

"I mix water mana with blue to make ice, so maybe by mixing earth with positive energy I can make something like magma."

This...

I don't know how to react.

"You are quite intelligent, Lefiya-san."

It was unusual for them to take me into account.

I thought he would just say something like I don't know.

"Hmhp, of course I am, and tell me Lefiya."

She may be an elf, but I'm not as proud as normal elves.

All because of Riveria-Sama.

"Hehehe, you're quite funny, Lefiya."

"S-shut up, I'm not funny."

. . . . . . . .

2 weeks later

Narration...Satoru Gojo

Many things had happened since I joined the Loki Family.

First I discovered that I was thirteen and not ten years old.

Maybe it had to do with my parents being adoptive.

He also had a strange ability.

It was called transcendental grace or something like that.

According to Loki, the amount of excellence received greatly increased.

It was a very convenient skill for growth.

He had also been introduced to the family as Riveria's disciple.

The elves were upset.

And they were even more so when they discovered that he could do magic without a spell.

But they accepted it once they saw my magic, maybe I'll earn the respect of some.

Although I have to earn the respect of the majority.

That's fine with me.

I have entered the dungeon quite a bit during these two weeks.

The first 2 times I did it in the company of a member of my family.

On my first excursion I managed to reach the 5th floor and on the second I managed to reach the 7th floor.

After that I have been calmly leveling up while increasing the amount of mana I can use before being at mind Zero.

I was currently on the 17th floor heading to the 18th floor.

There was a town called Riviera that I could use to rest and get back up.

It's my first time in Riviera, I'm a little excited.

I certainly want to try the Goliath but he was already killed a few days ago.

Riveria made me study a lot about the dungeon floors.

So now I know how long it takes for boss monsters to appear.

So it wouldn't appear yet.

I managed to pass the entire 17th floor and reached the entrance to the 18th floor.

Going down the stairs a brightness blinded me and after getting used to it I saw it.

A hill along with a giant tree in the middle.

Right next to it is the city.

From what I had read, monsters do not spawn on this floor.

But they can enter from other floors.

Walk for a few minutes admiring the landscape until you manage to enter the city.

I'd stay here for an hour and come back up.

Today I will go update my status.

Loki was very surprised every time he went.

He said that my growth was not normal at all and said that if only all members of the family had that ability.

He just started complaining while I looked at the sheet Loki gave me.

I didn't know how this worked but it wasn't normal.

Nor does this ability come out of nowhere.

It was strange.

I was deep in thought for a few minutes until an alarm started going off.

Everyone started running in one direction.

"Hey, what's happening?"

I asked a woman confused.

"The monsters are coming, run to the entrance of the floor, there is a shelter."

The woman continued running.

I wanted to verify the situation for myself.

I used wind mana and began to rise until I could see a large part of the 18th floor.

It was definitely bad.

The monsters came from two directions.

They surrounded the city.

They would have to fight.

And I would definitely help.

I flew towards the part where the inhabitants of the city were fleeing.

These had already encountered the monsters.

They prepared to fight.

But of course, the protagonist must be me, I must shine.

Use the fire mana and create several fireballs that began to fall on the monsters.

People looked up and saw me Ami casting magic after magic without saying a single word.

It would definitely be a bad day for Capi.

I also had to look better.

"Kekeke-"

Wait, was that my laugh?

It definitely wasn't me.

I turned my gaze and saw a winged creature similar to a dragon but thinner.

I immediately recognized it as a black wyvern.

Although this one was different, it was more robust and... Wait, it has armor.

This was definitely not the work of monsters.

I looked down and threw one last fireball at the monsters, killing the rest.

I turned my gaze to the other end and saw that some adventurers were left protecting their belongings.

I took off the blindfold and prepared for battle.

I flew to where the majority were and started creating ice magic.

I threw ice spikes empowered with wind mana and they pierced almost all the monsters that were giving the adventurers problems.

For some monsters like minotaurs I had to use a little blue to get a critical hit.

I kept repeating this for a few seconds until there were no monsters left.

People started cheering me.

I pose a little for the headlines.

Wait, there are no headlines here.

I had forgotten something, and that something came in the form of a roar.

"CRRIIIIIIAAAGGGG!"

A horrible scream reached my ears.

It was like running your fingernails on a blackboard.

The audience took refuge and I turned towards the only monster left.

The Wyvern charged at full speed towards me.

He threw several reinforced ice spikes but the armor blocked them all.

The same thing happened with fireballs.

Before I knew it, the winged lizard's fangs were inches from my face.

I turned my whole body and the bird passed by.

"Alright."

"If the magic doesn't work."

A blue aura in the shape of a flame formed in my arms.

"He beats you to death."

Right now I realized how convenient it was to fly.

But I'll leave such thoughts for later.

The winged being charged again and approached at high speed.

I prepared myself.

Ten meters.

"Come on, closer."

Five meters.

"One meter."

"Fifty centimeters."

"Already."

I managed to land a perfect uppercut while giving myself a wind mana boost to the left.

A hole formed in the armor and a little blood began to flow out.

With the monster now stunned, I gave two more impulses and positioned myself over its body.

I gave a series of 5 blows and destroyed his armor.

I created a large pillar of ice and was ready to break through it.

But the monster whipped me with his tail and I crashed against the big tree.

I was stunned for a few seconds.

Seconds that the monster did not waste.

He walked towards me and threw a crimson flame at me.

I didn't have time to avoid it.

The flame crashed.

But not against me.

I crashed against the imitation of infinity.

Don't be left unscathed.

Some parts of my torso and arms were burned.

But my perfect face was left intact.

I concentrated and flew again.

I propelled myself into the air again and was right under the monster.

I landed a blow on him and broke what little was left of his armor.

I created an ice sword and used the monster's momentum to my advantage.

I made a vertical cut in the monster's abdomen and it roared.

It started to spin.

I propelled myself from the bleeding abdomen to the wing.

I managed to make most of it rip and used fire magic.

It started to burn in fire.

The Wyvern tried to maintain its balance but it was useless.

The lack of a wing destabilized him and he began to fall.

I held onto the monster and prepared for the final blow.

Create a large ice pillar.

It broke into many pieces and I began to manipulate each one.

This would definitely leave me in mind Zero but would ensure victory.

I directed the ice chunks to specific locations.

His eyes.

The monster roared.

His neck.

The monster roared weakly.

His loin.

The monster did not roar.

His legs and what little remained of his wings.

I started to fly clumsily.

I saw how the corpse of the Wyvern was now reduced to a familiar of a bodyspin.

I went down until I was next to the corpse and I collapsed.

I kept looking at the sky with a smile.

If he was the former Satoru Gojo he definitely shouldn't have worried about something like energy depletion.

And finally I closed my eyes.

I will take any criticism and try to improve the original author's story, for example the guy who told me to change the - to " for when the characters are talking
