"You're a Level Four now, Bell, Congratulations! Oh! Wait here for a second!"

I smiled slightly at Hestia's excitement as she rushed back inside the basement of the Church and at the excitement of the kids around us who came after it was renovated.

I sat down cross-legged as the kids gathered around me, looking at me with wide eyes.

"Bell! Bell! Bell! Tell us your stories! Please!"

One girl, looking like she was five years old practically begged and I chuckled, rubbing her brown hair.

"Alright, sit down and get comfortable."

The five kids, two male and three female sat down, one of them in my lap, tilting her head up to look at me, so I naturally poked her cheek as she giggled.

As I was telling them the story of puss in boots, I heard Hestia come out of the basement, but she did not approach. The rustling of paper informed me that she had a few papers to give me, must have been something important.

So, after leaving the story on a cliffhanger, naturally, I stood up and walked over to her, who was watching my interactions with the kids with a smile.

"These are the people that applied to join our Familia."

She handed me the papers and I looked them over. The applicants were interesting, with some having families outside of Orario, and some not, but that was not important right now.

There were four papers, and the applicants varied in their abilities.

"Let's rent a room in the guild to interview them tomorrow."

She nodded happily and I sat down on one of the chairs, looking over the papers.

An Elf, Female, Level one, outside Orario.

A Chienthrope, male, Level one, comes from outside of Orario.

A Human, Female, no previous Familia.

A Warewolf, Male, Level one, from outside of Orario, specifically, from the far east.

Interesting indeed.

My eyes scanned the papers, memorising them, before putting the papers inside the pouch.

We needed to go to Loki Familias manner again today, to discuss what happened down in the dungeon.

"So, what do you think, Bell?"

Hestia asked when the last applicant left the room. I hummed, still leaning against the wall behind the sofa, thinking. Hestia's natural lie detector was very useful, even if I could practically hear their heartbeat due to the recent level-up.

I walked up to the backrest and floated the papers to myself, discarding the two and giving her the one that detailed the information about the werewolf and the Human.

The werewolf, Shohei, had potential, he was disciplined, and his dexterity dictated that he was a natural with sword techniques.

And finally, Ava... She was shy, and physically average, however... She was overflowing with Mana, her every pore was practically, dripping with it.

She had a lot of potential, and if I taught her what I knew, even if I was no wizard, she would dominate. Hit way above her level.

"These two."

I gave her the papers and she looked them over, my shadow was buying a house as we spoke for a more comfortable place for three people to live in.

Hestia looked at the applications and nodded, smiling.

"Congratulations, Bell, you're a captain now."

I chuckled, nodding as she went out to inform the ones who managed to get into the Familia.

A few minutes later, She walked back in with Shohei, who was wearing forearm armor, his kimono sleeves short. The said kimono was tied together by a cloth around his waist and the shoulders were covered by leather armor.

He bowed at me when he entered.

"It's an honor to be in the Familia with you, Captain."

I smiled and nodded, as I handed Hestia one of my throwing knives and Shohei took off his kimono top to show his back.

She dripped the divine blood on his back and the same, familiar glow illuminated the room. A few seconds later, she took a piece of paper and pressed it to his back, transferring the information.

She looked at it for a moment, smiled, and handed it to him as he stood up and adjusted his clothes.

Shohei took the paper, looking over it for a moment and nodding with a smile before handing it to me.

I took it, looking it over. His strength and endurance were at 401 and 381, which was not that impressive, but he was focusing more on Dexterity and Agility, which were at 551 and 572 respectively.

The magic was at 0, but that was to be expected, one could not train magic normally if they had no spells.

I looked at the gray-haired teen and nodded.

"Welcome to the Familia, Shohei, let's give the ladies some privacy."

He smiled and nodded, as the two of us walked out. Following him out of the door, I spotted Ava, a black-haired girl who was fidgeting nervously at the door. She spotted me and seemed to get more nervous.

I smiled at her, holding the door open for her as she walked closer and bowed at the waist.

"T-Thank you for the opportunity, captain."

I chuckled as she walked inside and closed the door softly behind her.

"She's quite shy, isn't she?"

Shohei remarked, smirking in amusement. I nodded, leaning against the wall.

"Indeed."

I hummed, putting a hand on my chin in thought.

"You specialize in quick draw technique, correct?"

The werewolf nodded and I smiled again. Welf got off lucky, these two... Theese two would not.
