"Alright, this is where we part ways. I have to visit a friend nearby, and I'll also be setting up a meeting with the owner of the house o mine for this evening," Bahamut said, seeing that there was nothi for her to do at the guild.

  "Are you sure it's okay for you to go alone? We had inally po escort you back after we were done here," Draco asked, evident in his voice.

  He was worried about the safety of their goddess.

  Bahamut chuckled softly, her fidence shining through.

  "Fufu, stop being such a worrywart, Draco. I've been in Orario for 4 years now, so I know my way around. Besides, I'm pretty strong even without using my Arum." she said.

  Draco wao protest, but Bahamut raised her hand, sileng him.

  "I'll be fine. You all just focus on your first dungeon dive aurn home safely, okay?" With a ge on his shoulder, she turned and made her way towards the exit.

  Draco hesitated, his lips pursed as he sidered her words.

  'Sigh, it's the Evilus that I'm worried about,' Draco thought.

  He knew Bahamut had no reason to lie to him, especially in to her safety.

  Draco watched her go, a sigh esg his lips.

  "I 't help but worry," he murmured to himself, before turning his attention back to the group.

  "Ahem, sorry about that. Let's begin the meeting, Rose-san," he said, addressing the guild advisor who had been patiently waiting.

  "It's quite alright, Draco-san," Rose replied with a stoic expression.

  "Now, why don't we start with all of you introdug yourselves?" she said.

  "Me first! I'm Michalis Bck, age 11, and the future vice-captain of the Bahamut Familia. I'm skilled ih attacks with daggers," Michalis begaedly.

  Thwabsp;

  "Ouch, what was that for?" Michalis pined.

  "Behave," Draco warned him sternly.

  "Sigh, I'm Cir Strauss, age 12. I'm a det spear wielder," Cir said, her tone more subdued than Michalis'.

  "I'm Eleni Bck, age 11, and I use a long sword," Eleni introduced herself.

  "Nikoos Bck, age 11, and I'm a heavy hammer user," he stated.

  "Dimitra Bck, age 11, and I'm a bow user," she said.

  "Vasileios Bck, age 11, and I use a sword and shield," he introduced himself.

  "Vasiliki Bck, age 11, and I'm an ice magic user," she said, f icicles in her palm to demonstrate.

  Finally, Draco spoke up, "And I'm Draco Bck, age 12, and the captain of the Bahamut Familia." he reintroduced.

  Rose nodded, her eyes sing the group approvingly.

  "Rose Fa, age………Ahem yuild advisor," she said, introdug herself.

  She almost let slip her age, but quickly caught herself.

  "It's a pleasure to meet you all. Now, let's begin." She paused, a slight hesitation in her voice after reading a sheet of paper.

  "I see that you've all received some form of training, based on the information given and the diversity of your ons. However, it's best not to uimate the dungeon." she warned.

  New adveeo get cocky, overestimate themselves a a bit greedy, which usually results in them getting killed quickly.

  "We don't pn to," Draco assured her.

  "Hmm, yes, that's good to hear," Rose mused, her gaze traveling over their well-crafted armour.

  "Your equipment seems to be of high quality, which is quite unusual for new adventurers. May I ask where you acquired it?" she asked.

  "From a Hephaestus familia store betweeh and 8th floors of Babel, I ied a det amount of our savings on them, Ensuring our safety is of the utmost importance." Draco replied.

  "Hmm, that was a good iment. With this, I would reend that you all stick to the 1st to 4th floors for the time being. Even with good equipment, you all still ime to adapt," Rose suggested, a bit impressed by their preparedness.

  odded thoughtfully. "May I ask why the first 4 floors in particur?"she asked.

  "Normally, I would suggest newbies to stick to the 1st floor, also known as the 'Beginning Road,' as it's suitable for new adventurers with stats ranging from I to H," Rose expined.

  "But given your training and equipment, I've decided to expand your operational rao the first 4 floors. The deeper you go, the more dangerous the dungeon bees, so it's important to take things slowly and build up your experience." she added.

  odded in uanding, her question now answered.

  "That makes sense. We'll be sure to heed your advid focus our efforts on the first 4 floors for now." she said.

  Rose nodded, satisfied with her response. "Excellent. Now, let's discuss your strategy for your first dive. I'd like to hear your thoughts on how you pn to approach the dungeon and ensure your safe return." she said.

  "Before that , I ask what kind of monsters we should expe those floors?" Nikoos inquired of Rose.

  "Mostly goblins, kobolds and dungeon lizards spawn in those areas. Well there is also the jack bird on the first floor, but it isn’t a mohat you all should yourselves with," Rose replied.

  'Hmm, I believe we handle much deeper floors, but o disregard her advice,' Draco thought.

  'We use the first week to practice our abilities freely. She will naturally gain some insight into our true capabilities if we deliver a massive amount of magic stohrough the week. Then she will naturally increase the range in which erate.' he decided.

  "Will we be provided a map of the surrounding area, or is it something we will have to purchase ourselves?" Draco asked.

  "You will have to purchase ohey are readily avaible in the guild," Rose answered.

  The meeting tinued, with Rose expining the various rules, things to avoid, and sistently warning them not to go deeper than the reended areas.

  They also came up with various pns and strategies to proceed.

  Soon, the meeting ended, and the Bahamut familia were allowed to begin dungeon diving.

  As they exited the guild, Drad his group headed straight for the Babel tower.

  Around the area, freence supporters offered their services, but Draco ighem.

  Supporters were an essential part of dungeon diving, as they helped pick up magic stones, saving adveime, drew attention to unnoticed enemies, assisted with fights, and provided other valuable means of support.

  Fe familia’s, they were even more important, as they performed all the menial tasks.

  However, for a new and small familia like theirs, they were going to do all the work themselves.

  Drao rotate the group, switg between active fighters and supporters.

  This could be achieved by switg and rotating the front line fighters when they were exhausted to act as supporters.

  He wasn't going to pce his trust in some random supporter from an unknown familia.

  The entrao the dungeon was on the first ground floor of Babel.

  In the ter of the room was a 10-meter-long hole that led straight into a circur room spiraling downwards.

  Within the circur room were multiple ns spaced at equal intervals, and the ceiling was adorned with a beautiful, realistic painting of the real sky.

  "Whoa, is this for real? Are we really in the dungeon?" Michalis excimed, mesmerized by everything around him.

  Draco, Cir, Eleni, Nikoos, Dimitra, Vasileios, and Vasiliki were also fasated, but they kept their posure.

  Thwabsp;

  Draacked Michalis on the head to quiet him down.

  His a could possibly put them in danger, as it essentially screamed to everyone around that they were newbies.

  Draco wasn't worried that they might be attacked by adventurers for now, as no one was stupid enough to atta the early floors, which had a high volume of witnesses.

  However, being marked as possible prey wasn't a good feeling.

  When they went deeper into the dungeon, there was definitely going to be a higher possibility of being attacked by malicious adventurers.

  Not wasting any more time, Draco quickly led his familia dowairs towards the first floor, before any more unwatention was drawn to them.

  Upon desding into the first floor, Draco was immediately struck by the captivating sight that greeted them.

  The wide hallway before them was adorned with walls covered in a mesmerizing blue luminous moss, emitting a captivating glow that seemed to pulsate with a subtle energy.

  The air was filled with a unique, earthy-woody st, likely emanating from the peculiar moss that g to the walls.

  As Draco took a deep breath, he could feel a subtle, rhythmic pulse of energy emanating from beh his feet, almost as if the very ground was alive aing like a heart.

  In the distance, Draco could see a group of newbie adventurers grappling with the challenges of the dungeon.

  Goblins spawned by the cavernous expanse were engaging the new adventurers in fierbat, testing their mettle aermination.

  'So this is the Beginners road,' Draused, a sense of anticipation and trepidation welling up within him.

  The air was thick with the promise of adventure, and Draew that the trials and tributions that y ahead would require every ounce of their skills and fortitude.
