| Discussion and Meeting |

After gathering everything that could be of use in this dungeon, I went to the guild and became an adventurer of rank A. During this process, I asked for a meeting between me and Kaspin Bladeheart, the leader of this place.
The request was accepted, so now I am here in his office.

"Pleased to meet you, sir, I have heard a lot about you," Said Kaspin while streching his hand for a handshake.
"I am not that famous," I replied, shaking his hand
"Oh, you are pretty famous around here because you are the fastest in the rank up ," Kaspin replied
"You are just exaggerating," I retorted with a soft chuckle
" You can sit down and we can talk about the things you want to talk about" replies Kaspin
"As you probably know I just came back from a B rank dungeon and some strange things happened there" I said
"What happened, I hope it's nothing serious" asked Kaspin
"At first the dungeon was normal until I got to the middle of the cave, then monsters started coming out of the ground from all sides and attacking me"
"Yes and what is strange about that?" asked Kaspin
"It's completely normal, but the number of monsters and their rank is not" I replied as I took a core from my spatial ring and gave it to him
"As you can see, this core has atleast B rank mana inside " I said
"You are not telling me that the normal monsters of the dungeon all had a B rank?" said Kasping in surprise, thinking about what could have caused this.
"It's like you said, every monster there was B-rank and not only that the bosses were A-rank bosses"
"You are saying there was more than one boss?" replied Kasping, standing up even more surprised
" Yes, I would recommend that you close this dungeon and send a group of at least one AA - adventurer and the others of A rank and investigate this place" I said
" I will definitely do that, thank you for the tip" replied Kasping, whithout even giving a thought to how anyone could survive all that.
"Oh yes, I would also appreciate it if you could let me see the examination test today" I said
"This is not normally allowed, but I can make an exception for you, sir" replied Kasping
"Thank you very much, then I will leave now" I said, stood up, shaking hands and walked into the arena.

I had to squint my eyes to adjust to the sudden change in brightness as we stepped out of the dark hallway. As the blinding light subsided, I could make out the details of the hall we were in.
The brightly lit area was a covered hall with a dirt floor and normal theater seats that looked more like exaggerated stairs
Although most of the seats were empty, with the exception of about ten people, there was a tense atmosphere as all eyes were on the two people in the center of the arena
I leaned forward to get a better look at the two fighters who were fighting while I looked around the arena for two particular people, but apparently I was here too early.
After a few fights and people only getting the
E rank to C rank, finally from a dark corridor three people came in with a mana beast, after discussing something they went and sat down about 10 feet away from me
One overlooked the duel and the other did not seem interested in what was going on around her.
So this is Arthur, the protagonist of the story, exactly as described in the book, short auburn brown hair and large bright azure eyes
The other girl, Jasmine Flamesworth, has long straight black hair tied in a half- up done with a dark green ribbon. She has black bangs that fall across her forehead and narrow red eyes set in a slim, pale face.
She is also a wind mage and uses two daggers with a yellow mana core
The events unfolded as in the story, the bald guy fought like an amateur with his weapon and got a D rank just because he had a fire affinity
After that the water girl did her thing while she was nervous, but some people just have to say something and be cocky and this is Lucas Wykes, one of the first villains of the story
He betrayed the Mc party, beat up his girl and got himself killed.
There's also Elijah Knight, who I will not say much about
Then it was finally time for Arthur to fight Kasping, and everything went just like in the story
Arthur's handling of the sword is amazing, but it's like his mind knows what to do but his body can not, also his handling of magic is fine, he just like my self focuses mostly on the sword like I do.
And now let us talk to Jasmine
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
"HelloHey, your partner seems strong, it would be nice if I could fight him," I said to her while waving my hand in her direction.
She seemed surprised that someone would talk to her, but her apathetic face gave away no further information.
"Ehm" she nodded her head and asked me
"Who are you, why do you want to fight him?"
"Do not worry, I do not want to hurt him or anything, I just want to fight him to test my sword skills" I said to her in an effort to make the situation seem a bit more normal
" What kind of mana beast is this?" I asked pointing at Sylvie who seemed to be afraid of me, maybe because I smelled like blood.
"It's not mine, I do not know" she answered pointing at arthur
" So it's his mana beast" I said and tried to pet it but it just ran after Jasmine
"Do not worry little one I am not going to hurt you" I said as I took a mana core out of my spatial ring and gave it to her after backing off a bit and communicating with Arthur saying something like "papa help me scary man" she finally took it and let me pet her she was soft for a dragon I was not expecting anything like that
Just as I was petting her I felt a large amount of wind mana being released so I set up a wind barrier around us.
After the wind cleared, Jasmine was ready to help Arthur.
He even used inner lightning to fight Kapsin, but Kasping said it was enough and gave Arthur a B rank
The two of them were so focused on Arthur that they did not even notice the mana barrier I put up around us, which is definitely better for me.
After this ordeal the little mana beast came to me as if asking for more mana cores, what a bold mana beast.
" So you want more mana cores?" I asked, patting her head
"kyuuu," she replied and her eyes got even bigger
"Here take it but be careful" so I took another core and gave it to her, it was a B rank, I do not know if she can handle all that mana just yet she is a baby.
" Ey Sylvie come here" Arthur called while walking in my direction
"Do not worry she just wants to eat mana cores" I answered Arthur while the little dragon made kyuu kyuu.
"Mana beasts get stronger when they eat other mana beasts, core you know that right?" i asked Arthur and he nodded and tried to examine my mana core but all he saw was darkness and two eyes staring back at him.
"I am Lucifer, nice to meet you and next time be careful how you inspect people, it's disrespectful and might even get you killed" I said and offered him a handshake, which he accepted
" I am Note sorry, I thought that was normal" Arthur replied
" It's fine, but be careful, there are magical artifacts that prevent people from seeing your core, it can even lead to a blacklash" I warned him
"Anyway I have to go it was nice to meet you both I'll see you around" I said as I started to walk out of the arena
" Yeah thank you for the mana cores you gave her" repleid Arthur while Jasmine noded her head and the littel dragon Kyuuued at me .
