Chapter 6

"Talking"

'Thinking'

*Action/Noise*

==============================

At the Stardust Garden's Yard

There was a huge field filled with flowers and plants. If Satoru didn't know any better, this place might have been a whole greenhouse without a roof. Tons of different types of flowers, green smooth grass. Tall trees filled with life. This is definitely a place you can rest and laze around for a whole day with the hammock that's tied on a tree.

Satoru: "Ohhh~~ This is truly a nice place!! I like it very much!" Satoru excitedly said.

Praising the beautiful surroundings while happily running through the fields of flowers

Alise: "Hey! Stop running in the flower beds, Astraea-sama grew those!" She screamed as she also ran in the same flower beds.

Astraea lets out a small giggle as Loki stares unimpressively. There is another two people who's looking at the two person ruining the flower beds. A graceful Green haired Elf and a 9 years old Blond little girl on the side.

Loki: "Welp, Who's that guy, Astraea? It's not like you to let in some random dudes to your Manor, what's his deal?" Loki asked confused.

Astraea Familia is known for being an All-Girls Familia in Orario. A familia filled with beautiful and strong girls, holding the title of Familia of Justice, as they acts as Police Force in Orario like the Ganesha Familia.

Astraea: "That person is my child, Kaguya's, Older brother. His name is Satoru Gojo. Kaguya begged and convinced us to let his brother lives temporarily with us here in the Stardust Garden. I don't know how long though." Astraea answers.

Loki: "Eh?! That stern cunning Kaguya? The woman who will cut off a head without a second thought? Are you believing this, Mama?" Loki said surprised.

Riveria: "I'm not your Mama. And, I too am quite surprised about it. We've been in joint missions on the Evilus cases that the Hera and Zeus Familia wont bother to do. I more or less know what type of person she is. But a brother, he never mentioned it."

Riveria Ljos Alf, a level 5 member of the Loki Familia, and the Vice Captain. beside her is a blond girl named Aiz Wallenstein, a level 3 member of the Loki Familia.

Astraea: "As well to us. We're also surprised about it when we first heard it."

Loki: "Well, no matter what she says... We can't ignore the fact that they don't look a like right? Dude's got white hair." Loki said bluntly.

Then Ryuu and Neze arrives. They also brought another 6 girls carrying what seems to be Barbeque set of grill and meats. Loki was amazed as the little girl as well.

Loki: "Ohh~ Throwing in a feast for Kaguya's brother? If I didn't know any better, this might as well be a feast for one of you children's boyfriend." Loki joked around.

Ryuu: "Goddess Loki, Please refrain from such assumptions. We are more focused on bringing peace to Orario than meddle with the opposite sex" Ryuu answered sternly.

Ryuu is an upright elf who got her priorities straight, she's not the type to be into romance at all... Except Alise. So her reaction is a bit predicted by the two goddess. The other members of the Astraea Familia only giggled to Ryuu's reply as well.

Then Satoru and Alise came back from a bit of tag. Alise is panting as Satoru stood there without breaking a sweat.

Satoru: "Oh? Can I help with the cooking? I'm quite good at grilling stuffs you know."

He asks as he took the griller being carried by Asta, a dwarf. Asta was surprise by the sudden appearance of the man in front of her. Everyone also immediately turns their head as the man who was just beside Alise a few moments ago, is now in the middle of the cooking sets.

Riveria: 'Fast! He just moved like almost instantly'

Astraea: 'He is fast... I didn't even notice him there until he spoke.'

Aiz: '!!!'

Loki: "Oi! What the hell was that?! How did you get there!"

Everyone's reaction was justified. Even the Alise who was just finished catching her breath, was surprised. Satoru moved within a blink of an eye. For a moment, it seemed like he teleported beside Asta.

Satoru: "Hm? I ran? I don't like having the people I'm currently in debt with having a hard time on it. I mean, as a man, I need to do my part. Right, miss?" Satoru said before he turns his head to Asta.

Asta: "*blush* A-Asta... Asta Knox. It's n-nice to meet you."

Satoru: "I'm Gojo Satoru! Nice to meet you too." He smiles as he patted Asta's head.

Asta's face was bright red as she turns her face away. This man is dangerous. Everyone says in their mind, and they mean it both ways. Satoru sets up the grilling equipment as the others still stares at him.

Loki: "He... He ran?! That's bull! There's no way you're that fast! What level are you?!"

Loki said as she wanted answers. There is no way that they're just letting that slide off at all, even Goddess Astraea was speechless.

Satoru: 'Uwaa... I guess showing off was a bit too far... I blame my narcissistic side taking over'

Just before Loki could speak again, another lady came on the show. It was Kaguya! the heroine here to save Satoru!

Kaguya: "Hm? What's up with you guys? You all look like you've all seen a ghost." She asked.

Lyra: "Oi Oi! Kaguya, what kind of person did you bring here?" She said while smiling nervously.

She's holding one of her bombs behind her as she meticulously observed Satoru's next move. Everyone is indeed on high alert. Realistically, they all have the rihts to be alarmed by this sudden event.

Kaguya observed everyone, then looking to Satoru who just smiles back. She realizes what probably has transpired. Kaguya scrubs his temple as she sighs in annoyance.

Kaguya: "Well, It's probably good to reveal it now than later, seeing that you've already taken everybody's attention... Old habits die hard huh." She says as she walks beside Satoru.

Kaguya: "I'd like to re-introduce to you all, my brother. Gojo Satoru, a Special Grade Adventurer from the far east. The strongest sorcerer I know and the best person to rely on. Satoru is strong, while I haven't been updated on his current strength. I would say that when I was a kid, he was already beating Level 3's at the age of 14. But he's probably much stronger now and mastered his abilities quite well."

Kaguya continues to explain Satoru, not to fully disclose him but enough for everyone to calm down.

Astraea: "Then. He's a first class adventurer from the far east? I guess he's like a level 4 or 5 right?" Astraea asked.

Kaguya hesitated to answer, after all, how would everyone react if she just drop a bombshell to them.

Riveria: "What do you mean by Special Grade Adventurer? Is it like your hierarchy system like ours?" 

Then Riveria just asked the question Kaguya fears the most. Gawd, what will Kaguya do?

Seeing her sister entering a headache talk. Satoru butted in and reveals himself.

Satoru: "I'm not part of any Familia. I'm called Special Grade Adventurer because I don't need a God's blessing to become much stronger. I have my own abilities and I improve without a Falna's update."

..

..

..

Everyone was silent for this reveal. Especially Astraea and Loki. The Falna is the grace, sometimes called blessing, given by Gods and Goddesses to their familia members

The Gods gave falna to adventurers to bring forth heroes, and the first God to give out a falna was Ouranos. Those with a falna gain a superhuman physical prowess upon being bestowed with it and can gather excelia to raise their status and grow even stronger

The falna is represented as something known as Status, which is the falna itself set as various parameters. It is made up of basic abilities, Development Abilities, Magic, Skills, and the overall level. It manifests itself physically in a form similar to a tattoo as a mass of text with all its characteristics detailed, as well as the corresponding familia's emblem.

Beyond the abilities shown in a person's status, merely possessing a falna grants a few enhancements; namely, heightened senses, longevity, and augmented endurance. This series of effects are further increased with each rank up one achieves. The improvement is also shown to be proportional rather than put everyone at the same level. Beast Humans are known for possessing better senses than most people, and those with falna have been accordingly demonstrated to boast better senses than other people with falna.

It is possible to attain superhuman power without a falna, even to the point of being comparable to people of a high level, most prominently shown with the heroes of Ancient Times. However, those with falna gain access to better magic, skills, and such, and so they ultimately excel as the definitive better ones

But with Satoru Gojo's existence. He can be compared to the ancient times. A time where all heroes have no help from a blessing from any God. A tale from the ancient times where falna doesn't exist

This tale consists of the hero Albert who, along with a long-haired Spirit, fights strong monsters with help from High Elf, a Dwarf, Beast Humans, Pallums, and Amazonesses, including their Empress. Finally, he confronts the Black Dragon and manages to repel the legendary beast, forcing it to flee from Orario after injuring its eye, in exchange for his life.

Satoru is considered to be an Ancient Sorcerer in the current era. A powerful human who hadn't received any help from the God's blessings.

This is what shocked everyone. Especially Alise, who have seen his skills at first hand fighting a middle class Level 4 with ease and didn't even break a sweat.

Loki tapped Astraea's shoulders to cut her off her trance. Then Loki walks close to Satoru, She circles around him and observed, eyes showing from her slanted eyes.

Loki: "No blessing from a God. Yet you've become a powerful human who out speed our sight. Even Riveria who's a Level 5 was also surprised by you."

Astraea: "Loki..."

Loki: "You are an unknown variable, an anomaly, and somewhat acceptable. How?"

Satoru: "I dunno. I'm just a Genius I guess? Everyone calls me the incarnation of talent back in the far east. Heh, I'm the strongest after all." Satoru smiles as he answers

Loki: 'Another Incarnation of Talent? I'm already having a headache with one.' she says in annoyances as a silhouette of a white haired girl enters her mind.

Astraea: "K-Kaguya-san"

Satoru: "Please don't be surprised... Well, it is surprising, but hey~ There are a lot in this world that we don't understand or thought that was never possible. This just proves that there are still many things to be discovered. I'm not gonna downplay your shocked faces about my situation. But I just want you guys to be normal with me. It's my Vacation day after all~" Satoru stated with his carefree smile.

His smile radiates a calm vibes as everyone went ease immediately. Surprising? Yes. But questions can wait later on. After all, the night is arriving and they haven't-

Alise: "*Growl*" Everyone stares at Alise.

She let's out a embarrassed giggle as she covers her stomach. Astraea smiles and claps her hand. 

Astraea: "Well everyone? Despite the shocking revelation and certainly complicated moment. We should get back on our main goal right? Feast for the arrival of Kaguya's brother, Satoru Gojo."

Everyone: "YES!"

Everything went back to normal, a bit, but it's all resolved for now, Kaguya is scolding Satoru because she probably knows that Satoru showed it off on purpose. Loki then walks to Astraea.

Loki: "Wow, I guess I really haven't explored much the world huh? I didn't know that people can still become stronger using the Ancient ways." Loki said as she sat down and hug her knee.

Astraea: "The lower world surely holds to more surprises for us. This is the reason why we went down right? Still. I wonder how strong Satoru is. There's little to no chance of us ever encountering another exceptional people here in Orario."

Loki: "Yeah yeah. Being kept around by that Perv and Old hag is really pissing me off. I still wanna explore the outside world you know. But settling here is probably my best choice."

Everyone starts the feast for the night. Satoru handle off the grilling for everyone, handing greatly cooked barbeque, grilled squid, and grilled corn. Everyone's having a good time, mostly talking about Satoru. Kaguya is pretty unimpressed by any of Satoru's shenanigans. But hey, she can't hate her brother so much. She's smiling under that poker face after all.

Then the little girl came to Satoru's grill to get some food as well. Now this is where another headache will come.

Satoru stares at the girl and tilts his head. Aiz did the same as she looks at the blindfolded man. Riveria observed the two intently, especially Satoru.

Then Satoru slowly uncovers his eyes, showing Aiz his glowing light blue eyes... The Six Eyes.

Satoru: "*Mutters*"

Aiz: "!!!"

Riveria: "!!!"

Chapter 6

Hey~ Well, I looked around Google and Reddit about the strength of the Danmachi verse. And While I'm still confused, I could say that Danmachi is indeed, at least the Level 6 or 7 above. is on City Busting Level. Which is quite well if ya ask me.

Alfia's Magic destroyed a whole floor. And her speed and strength out matched the Juggernaut, who's currently the strongest Dungeon monster Bell fought.

Ottar and Zald's sword clash sends tremors to the whole city. I guess that's also worth something.

If Toji is to be given a Level (According to Reddit) He's probably a Mid class Level 7
