NOVEL WEB Chapter 61: Insane Growth
Chapter 61 - Insane Growth
After Orsted's training session on the safe zone yesterday, Lili and the others had noticeably improved.
Tifa wielded the magic glove crafted by Orsted, and her power had increased.
Moreover, she had worked diligently when Orsted taught them combat skills.
When facing a Minotaur again today, Tifa held the upper hand from the start of the battle and maintained firm control throughout the fight.
It took her only one minute to defeat the Minotaur.
Although Lili and Naaza's battle wasn't as impressive as Tifa's, it was a marked improvement over yesterday.
The day before, Lili had been injured by a Minotaur while working with Naaza, but that didn't happen today.
The Minotaur didn't harm Lili at all and was ultimately slain through their combined efforts.
The situation was looking very promising.
Orsted was quite pleased with these developments.
Such progress in just one day was remarkable.
"They've put the skills you taught them to good use," Ais said calmly as she observed the fight alongside Orsted.
A larger-than-usual number of Minotaurs had spawned this time, but aside from those left for Tifa, Lili, and Naaza to handle, the rest were swiftly dealt with by Ais and Orsted.
With their overwhelming strength, they killed the monsters instantly and then watched the others' battles unfold.
Ais could see that they were effectively applying the skills Orsted had taught them—and doing so with surprising precision.
Considering that Orsted had only trained them for two hours, split among the three of them, their progress was already impressive.
"Yeah," Orsted replied with a faint smile.
The rest of the journey passed without incident.
Orsted and his group fought their way from the 18th floor back to the surface.
"Then let's part ways here," Ais stood in front of the Guild, bidding Orsted farewell.
"If you ever want to spare with me, feel free to seek me out," Orsted said with a slight nod.
"Thank you," Ais replied softly before turning to leave.
"Orsted-sama, we're back!" Not long after Ais departed, Lili and the others emerged from the Guild.
"Let's head home," Orsted said with a nod.
The four of them left the Guild together, walking side by side.
In front of the Miach Familia shop, Naaza stood on the street outside, gazing at the shop's sign with a slightly dazed expression.
After a moment, she stepped forward and gently pushed the door open.
"Welcome! How can I assist you— Oh, Naaza, welcome back!"
Miach, standing behind the counter, looked up.
He began his usual greeting out of habit but paused when he saw Naaza, a warm smile spreading across his gentle face.
"I'm back, Miach-sama," Naaza said softly, a smile gracing her lips.
'She's finally moved past it. That's wonderful,' Miach thought as he listened to Naaza's gentle tone.
He could tell she had overcome her psychological scars and no longer feared monsters.
She had been reborn.
Meanwhile, Orsted returned to the Hestia Familia's mansion with Lili and Tifa, where they were immediately greeted by Hestia's enthusiastic welcome.
She flung herself into Orsted's arms, clinging to him tightly.
"Welcome back, Orsted!!"
"Hestia-sama, we're back too!" Lili protested, noticing Hestia's eyes were only for Orsted.
Seeing Hestia draped over him, Lili reached out to pull her off, clearly displeased.
"No way! Let me go—this is how Orsted and I get along!" Hestia clung to Orsted even tighter, as if glued to him.
Watching the two bicker, Orsted shook his head helplessly.
He glanced at Tifa, who was smiling as she observed the scene, and gave her a wry, resigned smile.
After the commotion settled, the group entered the mansion.
"Come on, Orsted, hurry up! I'll update your status!"
Hestia waved her hands excitedly, clawing the air with a lovesick grin on her face.
Seeing Hestia's antics, Lili slapped a hand to her forehead, looking exasperated.
Tifa, unfazed, continued to watch with a smile.
Orsted gave a small chuckle, then removed his shirt, lay on the sofa, and waited quietly for Hestia to update his status.

"Except for Magic, all four basic have reached S!" Hestia exclaimed, beaming with pride as she examined Orsted.
"My Orsted really is the best!"
"But wait—your Development Ability increased again?"
"That's so fast! And you even gained new magic? What happened that I don't know about?!"
After her initial excitement, Hestia's attention shifted to the changes in Orsted's Development Ability and the new magic, her curiosity piqued.
Orsted took the parchment Hestia had printed and began explaining as he reviewed it.
"Oh, I see! So that's how it works," Hestia said, nodding along.
"Sparring with opponents stronger than you can boost your Development Ability?"
"Then you should train more with Ais. Oh, and if you get the chance, spar with that Ryuu too!"
"But I can't believe you made two magic grimoires yesterday and used one yourself!"
Hestia's tone shifted to surprise before she turned to Orsted with a grin.
"In that case, let's make more for Lili and Tifa later."
"I was planning to do that even if you didn't suggest it."
"Thank you, Orsted," Tifa said gently from her seat nearby.
"Thank you, Orsted-sama!" Lili chimed in, then leaned over to peek at the parchment.
"Your basic abilities are still improving as quickly as ever. It's incredible!"
She then turned to Hestia with an impatient nudge. "Hestia-sama, please update my Status too!"
"I think my adventures over the past two days have paid off—I must've improved a lot!"
"Alright, I'll update you right now," Hestia agreed.
"Me too, Hestia!" Tifa added.
"Yup, you're next after Lili," Hestia replied with a nod.
