Upon reag the front of Bahamut's room, Drae upon a familiar se. Michalis was engaged in a scuffle with Nikoos and Vasileios.

  Draco let out a sigh, ign them for now as this was a regur occurrence.

  Walking up to Eleni, Dimitra, and Vasiliki, who patiently lined up in front of Bahamut’s door.

  “Sigh, what happehis time?” he asked.

  “Michalis got his blessing first, you already imagihe rest.” Vasiliki, bluntly replied.

  Draodded, unsurprised by the turn of events.

  ‘Ugh, he probably came out looking all smug and bragged to oblivion about it. His status must be really good,’ Draco surmised.

  Gng around, Draoticed Cir’s absenbsp;

  “I am guessing Cir is getting her blessing,” he asked, his curiosity piqued.

  Eleni responded with a simple “Hmm,” her attention focused on the ongoing scuffle.

  ‘Sigh, I should break them up first and see his stats,’ Draco thought, resigo his role as their guardian.

  “Alright, that’s enough,” Draco said, stepping in and separating the boys.

  Michalis, his expression brimming with pride, turo Drabsp;

  “Draii, look at this. I have bee even more awesome, praise me,” he demanded, his tail swishiedly.

  ‘Sigh, I see why they fought now. His expression makes me want to smack him in the face,’ Draco thought, resisting the urge to smack the smug look off Michalis’ face.

  Grudgingly, Draco took the sheet of paper Michalis had handed him and was genuinely surprised by what he saw.

  Michalis had acquired a magic skill, something that was exceptionally rare for new adventurers.

  Even more remarkable was that the skill was aremely useful one, perfectly suited to Michalis' stealthy bat style.

  Michalis had also gained another skill called 'light steps,' which reduced the sound he made while moving.

  'Ugh, I ow see why Nikoos and Vasileios feel pressured. If they don't get any special skills after receiving Falna from Bahamut, they would feel inferior to Michalis. Also why does his spell t sound so sinister?' Draco thought.

  Looking up from Michalis status sheet, Draco could see Michalis staring at him with expectation, his ears twitg, his eyes sparkling, and his tail swayilessly.

  'Sigh, what do I do?' Draco wondered.

  He could see that Michalis' head was slightly tilted, in the perfect position for a head pat.

  But to the side, Nikoos and Vasileios were menagly gring in his dire.

  If he praised Michalis now, to Nikoos and Vasileios, it would seem as though he had aowledged that Michalis was better than them.

  Squeak!!

  Suddenly, a squeaking sound drew everyone's attention.

  It was Cir, emerging from Bahamut's room, having just received her Falna blessing.

  "Cir, how was it? Did you get any good skills?" Draco asked, seizing the opportunity to divert Michalis' attention.

  "Hmm, I got an iing skill," Cir replied, waviatus sheet.

  Eleni walked into Bahamut's room, while the others quickly gathered around to see Cir's skill.

  "Whoa, is this skill even fair? gratutions, Cir," Michalis praised, his eyes widening with admiration.

  "Thanks," Cir replied with a warm smile.

  "She will basically be a few steps ahead during bat with this skill," Dimitra muttered.

  "Yeah, since she uses a spear. She also gains a bit e, not bad," Draented, impressed by Cir's new ability.

  Michalis attention had been successfully diverted and he remained with Cir, making some small talk.

  Not long after Cir, Eleni emerged from Bahamut's room, a radiant smile ad her fabsp;

  Draco's gaze shifted from Eleni to the others, noting the subtle shift in their expressions.

  Nikoos and Vasileios had momentarily fotten their earlier scuffle, their attention notivated by Eleni's return.

  "Eleni, what kind of skill did you receive?" Draco asked, his curiosity piqued.

  Eleni's smile widened as she unfolded her status sheet, revealing her newfound ability.

  "I've been blessed with a skill that boosts my speed and agility," she announced, eagerly sharing the details.

  "As a long sword user, this is a perfect fit for my fighting style. By alternating speeds, I throw my oppos off, and it will also help me when I o retreat." she said.

  Draodded, impressed by Eleni's new skill.

  "That's a remarkable boon," he ented.

  "With your ability to nd ter-attacks, the increased speed and agility will undoubtedly give you a signifit advantage in battle." he said.

  Dimitra was the o emerge from Bahamut's quarters, her expression equally enthusiastibsp;

  "I've received a bow-specific skill. It increases the damage I deal with each secutive hit with a bow and triggers a hidden effect after 10 secutive hits," she revealed.

  Draco sidered Dimitra's new ability, his mind already pting potential uses.

  "That's a very versatile and quite nasty skill against rge targets," he remarked.

  "I believe there are multiple ways you could utilize it to your be. Perhaps incorporating a dagger or somethira onto your bow could allow you to exploit the skill even further, should melee bat bee necessary." he analyzed.

  Dimitra's eyes lit up at the suggestion. "That's an excellent idea, Draii!" she excimed.

  "I'll have to experiment with that, to see how I best ie it into my fighting style." she said.

  While the others were admiring Dimitra's skill, Vasiliki had slipped into Bahamut's room.

  When she emerged, her expression was even more smug than Michalis's had been.

  "Hey, 'ninja waake a look at this," Vasiliki said, thrustiatus sheet towards Michalis.

  Michalis's eyes widened as he sed the information.

  "Geh, magid two crazy skills too," he muttered, a hint of jealousy in his voice.

  "Well, you were always a magic user, so this shouldn't have e as a surprise," Michalis tried to ter, though his words cked vi.

  "Huh, our skill descriptions even be pared?" Vasiliki retorted, a vein appearing on her forehead.

  "What nonsense are you saying? I end you before you even have a ce to use your fancy magic," Michalis shot back, his bravado barely masking his unease.

  "Do you want to test that?" Vasiliki replied, icicles beginning to form beh her feet.

  Draco, sensing the brewing tension, quickly intervened.

  "That's enough. Your skills are not meant to be used against each other," he scolded.

  Michalis and Vasiliki both huffed and turned away from each other, their petitive spirits temporarily dampened by Draco's stern words.

  "Sigh, stop paring your skills with each other," Draco tinued.

  "The status sheet is a representation of your natural gifts and your efforts. There's no way they would look the same. If you don't have a natural gift, then your effort will at least be reflected, so stop fussing and believe in yourselves." he stated, his gaze nding on Nikoos and Vasileios.

  Taking a look at Vasiliki’s status sheet, Draco couldn't help but be impressed by her abilities.

  'Her affinity for ice magic is truly remarkable,' he thought, iiatus sheet.

  'A passive skill that ensures she isn't helpless in melee bat, a magic skill that be enhanced with a spell t, and a support skill too. Her magic should have been an innate skill, but the Falna ged and enha, turning it into a better magic skill. There is even a t to boost it.' he surmised.

  Before Draco could further analyze the potential of Vasiliki's skills, Nikoos came bursting out of Bahamut's room, his voiing with excitement.

  "Hahahaha, I got an awesome skill too!" he procimed, his enthusiasm palpable.

  Draco turned his attention to the newer, curious to learn what Nikoos had received.

  The group's attention was now focused on him, eager to see what neabilities he had gained.

  As Nikoos unfolded his status sheet, the athered around, their expressions a mix of anticipation and wonder.

  "Isn't this simir to your ability, Draco?" Cir asked upon seeing Nikoos' status sheet.

  "Yeah, it's a bit simir," Draco replied, intrigued by the parison.

  "Hehehe," Nikoos ughed, turning towards Michalis.

  His skill was a transformation-type skill that gave him a beastly appearand boosted some of his stats.

  Draco was expeg them to get into another scuffle, but the two boys just stared at each other and then smiled.

  "A manly skill, indeed," Michalis plimented.

  "Yours is kind of cool too," Nikoos replied, aowledging his brothers abilities.

  Draco observed the exge, puzzled by their amicable iion.

  'What's going on? Am I missing something?' he wondered.

  Vasileios had entered Bahamut's room after Nikoos exited.

  Soon, he emerged with a smile on his fabsp;

  'He definitely got a skill too,' Nikoos thought.

  "Vasileios, you got three skills!" Michalis gasped.

  Vasileios was the only one so far, to receive three skills. Vasileios beat his chest with pride as if he had won at something.

  His skills were nothing short of exceptional. His skills made him a sturdy and reliable tank, and one of them even came with stamina regeion and healing.

  Draco took a deep breath, his mind reeling with the implications.

  'Does this even make sense? Everyo skills, and two of them got magic. If any of the other familia's khis, they might want to kidnap my family,' he thought.

  Steeling himself, Draco walked towards Bahamut's room, ready to be blessed with Falna and discover what abilities awaited him.
