"Three days, and I've actually trained to this point," Bell said.

Hephaestus was truly shocked because Bell's basic abilities far exceeded her predictions.

"All your basic abilities exceed the limit that can be detected by Falna." Hestia remarked.

Ordinary adventurers are already eligible to rank up when their basic abilities reach about 500.

But Bell has raised all his basic abilities to nearly three times that of ordinary adventurers.

"Now your basic abilities have reached a level comparable to that of an ordinary Level 2 adventurer," Hephaestus said.

This is a comparison based entirely on basic abilities. Bell, who has not yet ranked up, already has the strength of a core Level 2 adventurer.

If Bell's growth continues at this rate, Hephaestus was certain his future strength could even be comparable to that of Zald and Alfia.

Besides the strength of an adventurer isn't only determined by basic abilities. 

Magic and skills also widen the strength gap between adventurers.

Considering magic and skills alone, Bell is even richer than a level 5 adventurer.

"Combat Judgement really means that the more you develop, the greater the skill becomes," Hestia giggled softly.

Bell shook his head disapprovingly.

"Excellent adventurers will inevitably improve all basic abilities to the extreme. After you update my status, I can compare my stat with those adventurers who have trained themselves to maximum."

"...Do you think adventurers can be like you?" Hephaestus was a little speechless at Bell's lack of concern.

There are countless adventurers in Orario, and perhaps less than one-tenth of them can rank up to Level 2. 

And only one-tenth of those Level 2 adventurers may be able to upgrade all their basic abilities to more than 500.

And how many adventurers, after these reductions, can train their basic abilities to S rank? Maybe not even a tenth of that.

Perhaps only one or two out of these one thousand adventurers have their basic abilities trained to S. 

This directly turns the probability into one in ten thousand, or even one in a hundred thousand.

And now Bell is the only one among millions who has broken through the status that Falna can display.

"Bell, don't compare yourself to other adventurers. Your skills alone are completely different from others."

Hephaestus was certain that Bell was the most special adventurer in Orario, and his growth might influence the city's future direction, so she couldn't help but say a few more words.

Bell was now clear about his position and knew that he needed to be cautious on his growth path.

Seeing Bell's calm expression, Hephaestus was somewhat amazed. 

This guy's mentality hadn't changed in any way, which was the best situation.

But Hephaestus still needed to give Bell a reminder.

"In the past three days, since the sale of runestones, all Familias have come to me. It's clear that information about you and Hestia has also been revealed to them."

"So you have a lot of trouble to deal with."

But in the face of this situation, Bell did not show the slightest panic.

"If they haven't come to snatch me away, it already means they understand that the status of me and Hestia isn't something they can easily shake."

"The deterrent power of Hephaestus is enough to dissuade most Familia."

This was true. 

The reason why most Familia hadn't acted was that the Hephaestus Familia was too renowned. 

If they really attacked the Hestia Familia, they would inevitably face the revenge of the Hephaestus Familia.

And they might not even succeed. 

Familia that had witnessed the power of runestones knew they were strategic resources that couldn't be obtained by other Familia.

Since they couldn't act against the Hestia Familia, they had to cooperate with them. 

Any Familia that made a move would face the united opposition of all Familia.

Therefore, after three days, Orario still seemed peaceful. 

Hephaestus sighed. "But I can only offer simple deterrence."

"Even if you want to ask me for help, my Familia can't give you much more assistance."

That's something Bell had considered as well. 

All that Hephaestus could offer was the deterrence of weapons and equipment, but their Familia still lacked a more powerful force.

In fact, this deterrent force needed to be strong enough to deter all of Orario.

So Bell had only two choices.

One of them was the Freya Familia. 

The exposure of his abilities would inevitably arouse the interest of the goddess of beauty, Freya.

And Bell didn't want this to happen.

Therefore, That left Bell with only one choice: the Loki Familia.

One of Orario's Twin Kings, the Loki Familia.

This is a Familia that can also deter the entire Orario.

"Bell, have you forgotten what we're doing now?"

Hearing Hestia's voice behind him, Bell was momentarily stunned.

"Sorry, Hestia, I was just thinking about some issues that need consideration."

"So, Bell, do you want to rank up now?"

"Yes, sorry to trouble you."

Hestia began the procedure.

The level on his Status changed from 1 to 2.

The moment his level changed, Bell found that his body changed a bit.

His blood flowed faster, and his heart started to beat more forcefully.

In addition, Bell also found that the shackles on his body seemed to have been unlocked, and even his breathing began to become more efficient.

[Raiden Shogun Template Unlocked Percentage: 7%]

'Fuck!!!'

'Ranking up can unlock the template!?'

Just now Bell felt his body too full, whether it's his physical fitness or mana capacity.

Even the use of lightning became clearer. It seems in next update or so, Bell would be able to unlock the template to higher degrees. This is simply invincible.

If Bell's not wrong then the current him can raze an entire area into thunderstorm. 

Anyway, Bell's current goal is to unlock Raiden's elemental skill. This passive ability is simply awesome.

"Development Abilities... there are so many!"

Hestia exclaimed.

[Development Abilities: Mystery, Mage, Charm, Hiding, Smith, Polearm User, Boxer, Archer]

The number of Development Abilities can be said to be quite luxurious, almost including everything.

"Even Mystery is there."

Hestia didn't expect Bell to be so adaptable.

Adventurers with the Development Ability of Mystery are only in single digits in Orario, and every adventurer with this Development Ability has made a name for themselves in Orario.

'It should have something to do with Bell's fighting abilities.'

Hephaestus was not very surprised by this.

Several other Development Abilities also have a lot to do with Bell's suitability for them.

However, for his first rank up to have adaptability for so many Development Abilities, from this aspect, She can see how many possibilities Bell has.

'Which direction will Bell choose to develop in?'

These Development Abilities are highly adaptable to Bell, but only one Development Ability can be selected for each time.

It is undoubtedly a good thing that Bell can have a Development Ability.

But...

"Bell, which do you choose?"

Listening to Hestia's murmure, Bell locked onto the one he needed to choose.

"Mystery."

Looks like Bell's adaptability to develop in this direction must have a lot to do with his fighting talents.

"Alright."

All basic abilities return to their initial state.

It's just that Hestia's eyes were locked on the extra skill on the Status.

[Shogun: An unchanging will that shatters the dream of insignificant ones.]

[Effect: Allows a sure hit attack. Attack depends upon the power of the user.]

"I'm speechless now, Bell."

Hestia was in daze. No matter what she's a dignified goddess, but looking at Bell's status she felt her own insignificance.

No matter what, if Bell somehow became a god, this skill would really make every god afraid of Bell. 

A sure hit attack. No matter how you dodge, the attack would still hit you. This is simply a bug.

Now Bell is no longer weak but a challenger.

"Bell are you really a human?" Hephaestus glanced at Bell with a confused look.
