First Status

He didn't feel any pain, only a sense that something he should have received days ago had finally been plucked!

"Hey! W-What ha-"

She couldn't finish her sentence as milliseconds after the Emblem was completed, she saw Ryuu's status popping up in her vision as multiple etchings completed themselves on their own...again!

She couldn't properly see his values as they fluctuated rapidly from one value to another.

'W-What did he do to have such crazy values!?'

Hestia, as she was too preoccupied with her own matters, never cared about the recent news and did not know the 'newbie' she made Captain of her Familia was an absolute madman! Someone who managed to defend against an entry-level 7 blow with a level 0 and not fall under the divine pressure of a God!

His achievements...were unparalleled, as gaining the Falna finally allowed Ryuu's physique to utilize the [Mana]. Such an abundance of power couldn't possibly disappear out of thin air!

The man in question, felt as if he was reborn. He still had no idea about anything as for him, it was only natural for Hestia to be a bit shocked as he was no normal man...

If Hestia knew his thoughts at the moment, she would likely slap his cheeks until they were red.

After half an hour, the commotion finally subsided. Hestia was covered in sweat and, before she could start expressing all of her pent-up feelings again, her body trembled as she saw new words being etched onto Ryuu's back. Such words were not mere white, like the rest of the parameters. No, they were gilded with the shimmering hue of gold, and dripped with the crimson essence of blood as if they could not bear to be considered even remotely 'ordinary', these words shone with a radiance beyond compare!

She shivered uncontrollably as she grabbed the piece of paper she had prepared, hoping that at least this part of the process could go smoothly!

Fortunately, nothing else occurred, as Ryuu's first status in this world...was actually enough for him to jump to level 2!

Such a thing possibly never happened in this world as even the highest of geniuses took weeks in the past, if not months to properly reach level 2...yet this man... already defied the system before he could even properly receive it.

Though, Hestia did not proceed with it as there were too many unknowns surrounding Ryuu's [Status] and, most importantly, she didn't know if he wished to level up.

With a sigh of relief, Hestia relaxed for a moment, knowing that Ryuu's well-being was now guaranteed. However, she still had many questions to ask him.

"Ryuu, how do you feel?" she asked, inspecting his body with great care.

"I'm fine, Hestia-sama." Her inquisitive gaze filled with divinity did not alert Ryuu in the slightest, instead, he even felt kind of comfortable bathing in her divinity...

'What a gentle power.'

Ryuu had encountered many beings in his life, most of whom had disgusting auras or strange powers. But Hestia's divinity felt like a gentle caress, as if she was afraid of breaking him if there was any pressure behind it.

Hestia's thinking was not wrong. The fact Ryuu could perceive divinity was proof that he was not a normal being. However, Hestia did not know this. In her mind, Ryuu was just an adventurer who couldn't get a Falna because he had just arrived in the city from a remote village.

For Gods, using divinity on Mortals had to be done with the utmost care, otherwise, as it has already been mentioned, Mortals could explode directly after coming in contact with it...

Though, her worries were meaningless in this case.

"I'm glad. I was so scared I made some mistake…" Hestia whispered, trying to hide her nervousness. However, Ryuu's senses were highly developed, and he heard everything clearly.

Getting up from his body, Hestia saw Ryuu stand up and suddenly throw a powerful punch in the air.

She expected him to stretch a bit, since his status went up so crazily, but... both of them didn't properly think this through.

After Ryuu's strength was enhanced that much, his physical strength...changed, and so did the so-called potential. If he was before at the [Peerless] rank in terms of physique, he now shockingly reached the [Noble Dragon] rank, as this mere detail changed many things.

The simple punch that Ryuu had thrown as a test moved the air with such boundless might that the entire church collapsed under their eyes, causing Hestia's mouth to drop open in shock. Ryuu looked at his fist with approval and wondered if he could now deal damage to Ais Wallenstein.

If his thoughts were heard by the people who actually knew the shocking level of power Ais Wallenstein reached, they would insult his whole family as seconds after becoming an adventurer, the first he wanted to defeat...was someone who could dish out level 7 levels of damage!

Analyzing the fight, he knew he had no chance to win against her even with his current strength, though...being able to damage her was an entirely different matter, as Ryuu had immense experience under his belt, coupled with his techniques to exchange injury for injury, maybe he could deal enough damage for that woman to vomit some blood before dying...

As Ryuu coldly used Ais Wallenstein in his mind to improve his tactics in case of another desperate situation, Hestia stared at his satisfied face, on the verge of tears.

They...were homeless now! How could he have such a glorious smirk on his face!?

Feeling some pressure from that gaze, Ryuu snapped from his thoughts.

"... Oh, you're worrying about this? No need, just give me a few hours, and I'll get us a nice mansion somewhere."

As if the millions of Valis it would take for a mansion to be bought were a useless matter to ponder about, Ryuu immediately went outside the ruins of the 'Church' as he sat cross-legged on the ground.

Even if it was him, simply adapting to such an enormous change instantly was something no being alive could do. In fact, his 'meditation' was merely him simulating not one, nor two, but three golden-haired girls using their sharp and undeniable sword to try and kill him! This unconsciously made his body as tense as a block of ice as if the feeling was strong enough, Ryuu could even replicate his mental state at that precise moment in time...!

... As always, Ryuu had ridiculously sharp senses, mind, and something else that allowed him to do this…

His words made her sigh in exasperation as she was ready to do multiple jobs and rent some small place somewhere, his grand words about gaining a mansion in a few hours never truly registering in her mind as she simply thought he was bragging!

... She didn't know Ryuu never said anything without meaning it, after all.

In another location, a woman with tanned skin and purple eyes that shone like gems sighed as the new "colleague" they had acquired fainted at the sight of a naked man. While the man himself was confused, Aisha immediately knocked him out.

"I wonder if you will ever find the hero of your dreams, Haruhime"

She said gently before returning to her normal tone as she prepared to dispose of the "client".

As the girl in question, Sanjouno Haruhime, she had no idea someone was here to protect her, as when she would wake up the next day in this same room, she would without a doubt smile to herself as she felt even dirtier than the day before…
