NightWind
will he have no opportunity to increase his strength in this period that will make him gain confidence in challenging title 1? Honestly, I don't want him to slow down just for that, also maybe it is not on every floor that he has a difficulty above title 1 some may have only up to extreme maybe, while those that have the possibility of going in a greater difficulty means that he has something special on the floor.
Not wanting to risk his soul on the bird??? He is risking his soul on each of his companions. He can't be there to help them in the next 3 floors, anything could happen to them there and anything even when he is with them. Not risking his soul would be to not use the skill on anyone and so not a valid reason to wait on the bird if she really is a teammate. Evolving the trait should be a top priority based on how awesome evolving traits get to his knowledge .
