Comprehensive Manga: Hope in Another World

The next day.

The Loki Familia members came to the canteen to eat after morning training or sleeping.

Small groups gathered in small groups.

The members of the second team gathered at the table, the backup members chatted about the latest gossip outside, and the Level 5s gathered.

For example, Aiz, Tione, and Tiona. And also, Finn, Gareth, and Riveria, as well as Bete and the newcomer, Bell Cranel.

The bustling canteen was filled with all sorts of funny sounds.

As the leader of the group, Finn also asked Riveria:

"How is it? After last night's contact, what do you think of Takema Shun? Do you want him and Aiz to continue like this?"

"Ah?" Riveria, who was confused, clearly wasn't listening, "What?"

"I just wanted to ask, what do you think of Takema Shun?"

Finn repeated helplessly that this was the first time he had seen Riveria dazed.

Not only was her attention diverted, but Riveria also touched her lips from time to time, seeming to be worried about the pros and cons, and even smiled for no reason.

If Riveria wasn't the strongest mage in Orario at the time, Finn would have thought that Riveria had conspired against him and had been enchanted by some terrible magic.

"I....."

Riveria unconsciously touched her lips.

"I think the Loki Familia can continue communicating with him. The Hestia Familia might become a strong ally for us in the future."

"But, are you sure about Aiz?"

Finn looked at Aiz, who was eating there. Riveria raised her like a daughter. Did she really not mind her daughter dating Shun?

"Mm, I contacted him last night."

A blush appeared on Riveria's cheeks.

"I think he might not like Aiz…but someone else."

If it was an experienced woman, she would definitely feel that Riveria looked like she was falling in love at this time.

Unfortunately, both Finn and Gareth had been single for decades, so they both just nodded knowingly.

Riveria agreed. Shun and Aiz continued to date, so what could they say?

This was the end of the topic about Shun. When Finn observed the canteen, he saw something else.

"Strange, Lefiya isn't coming to eat today?"

"This little girl must be bored being around Aiz..."

Guild.

"What? The Middle Floor map?"

Eina's voice spread throughout the Guild, and what happened next was the Guild employee's reprimand to the boy in front of her:

"Takema, you're only Level 1. Exploring the Middle Floor now will only lead to death!"

Eina looked very angry.

Generally, the dungeon floors were divided according to their difficulty levels, and they were also divided into the Upper Floor, Middle Floor, Lower Floor, and Deep Floor.

The Upper Floor was Floor 1~12.

The Middle Floor was Floor 13~24.

The Lower Floor was Floor 25~36.

The Deep Floor was the floor starting from Floor 37.

Currently, the Dungeon's development area reached Floor 58.

In other words, no adventurer or even Familia had ever reached the area below Floor 58.

In short, the difficulty of the Dungeon, which was divided into the Upper, Middle, Lower, and Deep Floors, would make a big leap at each other stage.

The Upper Floor was so difficult that a Level 1 adventurer could explore alone. So to the Middle Floor. If the adventurer still planned to explore alone, he should at least reach Level 2 to get some assurance.

That's right.

It was just a glimmer of security.

Even if they reached Level 2, adventurers would choose to form a team rather than explore alone.

Because, unlike the more relaxed Upper Floor, once an adventurer stepped into the Middle Floor, monsters would immediately appear. An adventurer could encounter a group of more than a dozen or even dozens of monsters at once.

It was common to see teams consisting of Level 2 people being chased by monsters.

Adventurers often suffered the most severe losses on the Middle Floor.

According to Eina, Shun, who had just reached Level 1 a few days ago, wanted to explore the Middle Floor, which was only sacrificing his life!

Seeing Eina, who was very angry and lecturing him endlessly, Shun felt dizzy.

How careless!

He forgot that Eina was a very serious and responsible adventurer advisor.

Shun had no choice but to respond quickly. After Eina told him how dangerous the Middle Floor was, he immediately ran away.

Seeing him run away, Misha Flot, who was also a consultant, couldn't help but smile:

"You're too protective of him. Could it be that Eina is interested in that boy?"

"What!"

A friend's unintentional words launched a surprise attack on Eina's unprepared heart.

Remembering the mind-killing scene when she first met Shun, Eina reflexively blushed.

Feeling her pair of half-elf pointy ears starting to heat up, Eina took a deep breath, then stared sharply at her colleague and friend.

"...Misha—?"

"Aww—, how scary!"

Seeing her colleague pick up a pile of documents placed beside her and leave with a smile, Eina calmed her eyes and leaned back in her chair.

'I'm being made fun of, really…'

Thinking of Shun as the culprit, Eina pursed her lips.

On the other side.

Walking on the road to the Babel Tower, Shun touched his forehead.

His stats had reached the 2,000 point limit, but due to the lack of a major achievement, he initially planned to rely on his swordsmanship and physical strength to fight the Goliath Floor Boss on Floor 17 to achieve a major achievement.

But Eina might not believe this, and refused to give him the Middle Floor map on behalf of the Guild.

This way, if Shun wanted to reach Floor 17, he might have to push map directly.

"This will take a long time. I have to think of a way. Where can I get the Middle Floor map?"

A few candidates came to Shun's mind, but finally, he saw a familiar orange-haired elf girl at the entrance of the Babel Tower queue.

"Lefiya?"

After Shun remembered what happened to the other party, a surprised expression appeared in his eyes.

Lefiya performed very poorly due to her failure to perform parallel chants during the expedition and her fear of monsters.

She felt very heartbroken about this, so after the expedition, she tried to solve this problem and overcome the problem of parallel spell chanting.

In response, Shun immediately clapped his hands!

"The living map is coming!"

"I can catch her too!"

As a Level 3, Lefiya had firepower comparable to a Level 5, and was also known as the Thousand Elf. At Level 4, she was even evaluated as a mage who could act as a team defender alone.

Not only that, Lefiya's Arcs Ray and Fusillade Fallarica were light and fire magic. Shun only needed to see her demonstrate and release them once, and he could master them automatically without taking anything left now.

Thinking about this, Shun became very motivated. After finally queuing up for his turn, he rushed quickly, trying to catch up with Lefiya before the Middle Floor.

Finally, after rushing for a while, he heard a girl's chant not far away:

"Unleashed streak of light, bow limbs of the holy tree. You are an expert of the bow. Shoot, sniper of the fairies. Penetrate, arrow of absolute accuracy."

Shun carefully watched Riveria's chant and magic release pattern with wide eyes, and in an instant, he managed to imprint Arcs Ray.

After Ariel, Shun gained another new magic.

This was also a light-based single-target shooting magic with a built-in tracking function.

Although Shun didn't have the Elf Ring to double the attack magic power, but with the special effect of light magic to enjoy spiritual blessings, but his Arcs Ray was still comparable to a Level 5 mage, or even slightly better.

"Your magic is very useful. Next time, it's mine!"

Shun, who was very happy, walked slowly. When he saw the magic stone on the ground and Lefiya's terrified gaze, he knew that the other party hadn't finished her parallel chant.

Lefiya might still be chanting the same way as before, and managed to kill the monster before the enemy approached.

For top-level mages, they were able to perform actions such as dodging, moving, defending, etc. While chanting, they would become a moving fortress, not a target.

The technique of performing multiple actions at once was called Parallel Chanting.

"Lefiya..."

Shun appeared in front of her. Feeling a little embarrassed, he immediately straightened his face and acted as if he was fine.

Since Shun and Aiz had been training together, Lefiya's fondness for this man had decreased by more than half!

"If you act like this, you'll never learn parallel chanting in this lifetime."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Shun revealed Lefiya's hidden weakness.

"I have a method that can help you overcome your fear and learn parallel spell chanting quickly."

"Really?"

After hearing Shun's tempting proposal, Lefiya immediately broke through and couldn't help but look towards him.

"Really, as long as I help you practice and you can help me lead the way to Floor 17, I'll help you. How about it?"

"Good!"

Lefiya immediately agreed, it was just leading the way. She had participated in many expeditions and gone deep into the Deep Floor, so she was very familiar with the conditions of this road.

"So, Takema, how are you going to train me?"

Lefiya asked curiously, and the next moment, countless trees appeared and turned into a prison to trap her inside. Then Shun waved his hand and threw her and her cage into a pile of monsters.

"The best way to overcome fear is to face it!"

"Don't worry, Lefiya, the cage I made is very strong and can definitely guarantee your safety."

Shun's words sounded vaguely, and it seemed like Lefiya wanted to give him some vulgar Elf language!

Unfortunately, she missed her chance.

Soon, various strange monsters surrounded the cage and began to attack the cage with sharp claws or terrifying fangs.

Such a terrifying sight made Lefiya scream in fear. She ended up crying, huddled miserably and helplessly.

"Lefiya! Lefiya!"

Shun shouted her name from the side, which made Lefiya, whose eyes were closed, suddenly feel a little safer in her heart.

"Think about your goal as an adventurer!"

"Think about your dreams!"

"Think about your fellow Familia members!"

After experiencing the world of Kimetsu no Yaiba, Shun was very confident in his ability to persuade women.

"If a monster hurts your partner because of your own weakness, will you regret it for the rest of your life?"

"If your Familia member is killed in the Dungeon because of your cowardice, can you accept the consequences?"

"You are Lefiya Viridis! You are a student of Nine Hell, and you are the only mage in the Loki Familia who can participate in the front lines of the expedition even though you are Level 3!"

"You dare to stand and deal damage, why don't you dare to look at these weak monsters in a safe place?"

Shun's words stimulated Lefiya to grit her teeth and open her eyes. She still felt fear in her heart, but after hearing the man's hateful voice in her ears, she felt relieved, as if there was support, which allowed her to face those things directly.

Surrounded by countless monsters, Lefiya, trapped in the prison, gathered her courage and began to chant.

As the light arrow flew from the sky and killed the first monster, Lefiya felt that the invisible barrier that had been blocking her was slowly breaking.

Fear disappeared from her eyes, only her mind was immersed in the chant and destruction.

Until the last monster turned into black smoke, the wooden prison disappeared.

Lefiya seemed to have lost all her strength, and fell backward with weak legs, then she fell into an embrace of peace and warmth that she had never experienced before.

"This is the Thousand Elf style. After overcoming fear, you have to face the enemy directly and chant while moving to avoid monster attacks. As Riveria's student, you might know how to do this better than anyone else."

Shun suddenly hugged her and carried her forward like a princess.

"Then, how about taking this opportunity, as a guide, to take me to see Goliath on Floor 17?"

Lefiya avoided his gaze, buried her face in his embrace and pointed to the right.

"Don't look at me, I'll show you the way…"
