Is It Wrong For Me To Start With Three Skills In Danmachi ?!

In terms of seniority, even the city's two strongest familias, [Freya Familia] and [Loki Familia], could not compare...

--------------------------------------------

In the era when [Zeus Familia] and [Hera Familia] ran rampant, Royman, as the Guild Master, had a very good relationship with them, and they even cooperated many times.

Until they attempted the last of the Three Great Quests, the One-Eyed Black Dragon, and failed, sending Orario into a dark age.

"In such an emergency, even if you have to drag him, drag the Guild Master up. Where's the commission request the adventurer just wrote? Give it to me."

The team leader's tone was very serious, because if such an incident was not handled properly, the Guild's reputation would suffer serious damage. If adventurers stopped trusting the Guild, it would become a huge problem.

"Ah? It's right here."

"?"

The team leader looked at the empty desk, staring intently.

"Are you sure you put it here?"

"Ah, ah?"

The receptionist turned her head, looking at the bare desk, and was completely dumbfounded.

Then the two looked at each other, recalling that eerie legend within the Guild...

"Could it be, the ghost??" Misha nodded repeatedly, as if she was convinced.

"That's right, it must be the ghost's doing. This isn't the first or second time!! Damn it."

The team leader rubbed his chin, his glasses reflecting light as he sank into thought.

[The ghost haunting the Guild], this legend had been around for many years, but no one had ever actually seen it.

This matter had even been reported to the higher-ups, but as always, it sank without a trace.

Linking the two things together, one could roughly guess a conclusion.

'The ghost is from the Guild's upper management… there's some sensitive information they don't want to spread. So… if explained this way, it makes sense.'

Those who could reach his position were all clever. From bits of rumors and fragments of evidence, he had basically guessed the truth.

In the underground passage of the Guild.

The sound of steps echoed through the pitch-black stone passage. By the faint glow of magic stone lamps on the walls, Fels lifted the [Inverted Veil of Spirit] from his body, revealing his figure. Looking at the report in his hand, he muttered in a low, secluded voice:

"This is troublesome, a monster riot on the 24th floor, exactly the same as back on the 30th. The problem is, adventurers have already been attacked. We must find a way to resolve this."

The voice and figure gradually faded away. The black-robed mystery man, the ghost of the Guild, Fels, began to act from the shadows.

...

"Congratulations, you've reached Level 6." Fron smiled at the blonde girl in front of him, offering heartfelt blessings.

"Th-thank you." It was like a replay of when Fron himself had advanced to Level 4, except the roles were reversed.

"Do you have any plans next?" Ais silently nodded.

"Since I just leveled up, I need to readjust to my body."

Such a sudden surge in power often left the body and mind out of sync. Fron knew that feeling well.

Fron blinked: "Heading to the Dungeon, I assume."

"Mm." Though she had changed, Ais was still the same Sword Princess.

"Honestly, I was going to suggest sparring at the home base, but since you're set on going to the Dungeon, I'll go with you tomorrow."

"Mm."

Because of Ais' advancement, once the returning comrades heard the news, the mansion became lively that night. Nearly every member, from top to bottom, was discussing the [Sword Princess] reaching a new level.

Unlike Fron, who, despite his fast growth, was still only Level 4, Ais had become Level 6.

For people like Raul, Cruz, Elfy, Alicia, Anki, and others, the shock was immense.

Ais' advancement was to Level 6.

That was already the level of a Familia leader. Even if some attributes had hit their limits at Level 6, fundamentally, she was still Level 6.

Now, the Familia had gained another pillar of strength. How could anyone not be shaken?

That day, everywhere Ais went, members enthusiastically praised and admired her, though, of course, they also felt a deep reverence toward the solitary Sword Princess.

Meanwhile, within the little circle of Fron, Ais, and the others...

The sisters Tione and Tiona had been quarreling all day, unwilling to accept that Ais had surpassed them. Lefiya, still saddened, hid in a corner and didn't dare say a word.

Elsewhere, Raul, who had wanted to invite Bete for a drink, ended up being kicked flying by the fiery werewolf youth, who barked: "Go train!"

"Ais is already Level 6, huh? I thought it would take at least another three years."

"...Probably because she was spurred on by Fron. Watching him go from Level 1 to Level 4 in the blink of an eye, while you yourself stand still, it's frustrating and anxiety-inducing. It really drove these young ones crazy."

"Hahaha, isn't that a good thing? Besides, thanks to Fron's magic item, Ais' stats had already reached their limit before her advancement. She truly ascended after hitting her ceiling."

"That's true. Since Ais finally leveled up successfully, let's see how Tione and the others will do."

"Hopefully they won't cause us any more trouble. One reckless Ais is more than enough."

The three leaders gathered together, drinking and happily discussing the younger generation.

...

"Hehehe, you three are already being caught up with. Be careful you don't lose your seniority and embarrass yourselves."

"Hmph, they're still far off."

The old dwarf snorted, downing his drink.

"Alright, let's move on to discussing the next expedition."

Finn clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention.

"Loki, about the matter I asked of you before, have you made the arrangements?"

Loki, as always, didn't act serious at all. Sitting directly on the table with crossed legs, she sipped her drink.

"Ah, I already talked to Hephaestus. Though she didn't sound too thrilled."

"Is it [Hephaestus Familia]?"

"Yeah. Because of the abnormal attacks from the new species, weapon durability has become a serious issue. We had no choice but to ask the smiths to join us."

"During the last expedition, if not for Fron, we would've lost many people during the retreat."

On that return trip, nearly all their weapons were consumed, and the few remaining ones were corroded to the point of uselessness. Even Ais' beloved blade, the special weapon [Desperate], which had the 'Unbreakable/Durandal' property, had dulled so badly it was nearly unusable.

It was only thanks to Fron, the sole smith, working nonstop to maintain the barely-usable weapons that the forces managed to hold out.

"This time, we absolutely cannot repeat the mistakes of the last. Not only smiths, but we've also asked Tsubaki and the others to forge eight new weapons with the 'Unbreakable/Durandal' property."
