Bahamut carefully sidered the options, her brow furrowed ihought.
Each ability had its ows, and she khe decision would have a signifit impa Draco's future.
After weighing the pros and s of each, she soon came to a clusion.
"The Hunter development ability," Bahamut murmured, her voice soft yet decisive.
‘It's the safest option, and the fact that it's only avaible at level 2 makes it all the more appealing.’ With her mind made up, Bahamut pleted the level-up process, and Draco was now officially a level 2 adventurer.
Satisfied with the oute, Bahamut turo Nikoos.
"Could you please get a sheet of paper? I'd like Draco to have a copy of his updated status board." she requested.
"Of course, Bahamut-sama," Nikoos replied, quickly retrieving the requested item.
As Nikoos returned, Vasileios couldn't tain his curiosity.
"Is it done?" he asked, eager to see Draco's new ability.
He wasn't the only one who was curious about development abilities.
Development abilities were fually different from inborn abilities.
These special abilities had a ce of appearing with each level up, a feature that was uniquely grao those blessed by Falna, the divine power that guided the progression of adventurers.
Bahamut nodded, a small smile pying on her lips.
"Yes, it is. Though it's a shame he's still unscious – we should be celebrating right now." she replied.
Cir, her brow furrowed in , spoke up. "Is he going to be alright now? she asked.
"Yes, he just needs lots of sleep," Bahamut reassured her.
"Carry him to his room, and he should be up sometime tomorrow, probably." Bahamut instructed.
Nikoos and Vasileios carefully lifted Drad carried him to his room, leaving Bahamut, Cir, Dimitra, and Eleni behind.
When they returhe room was still quite gloomy, but Bahamut was determio lift their spirits.
"e on, children," she said, her voice warm and inviting.
"Right now, you should all be celebrating. Draco wouldn't want to see gloomy faces when he wakes up, would he?" she said.
"Bahamut-sama is right. We should cheer up. By the way, what's for dinner? I'm starving!" Vasileios asked, his tone cheerful.
"We made spaghetti aballs." Dimitra replied, a hint of a smile on her face.
"Hmm, sounds delicious," Vasileios said, his eyes lighting up.
He turo Dimitra, Eleni, and Cir with a smile.
"Did you all help prepare it?" he asked.
The girls heir expressions brightening.
"Then what are you waiting for, lead the way so artake of the feast you have prepared for us," Vasileios said, his voice filled with excitement.
"Today is a day to celebrate!" he added.
Ied by Vasileios' cheerful demeanour, the room sohtened up with everyone eager to eat.
However, an uneasy silence soon fell over the group as Eleni realized that Michalis and Vasiliki were o be seen.
"e to think of it, has anyone seen Michalis and Vasiliki, aren't they back yet?" Eleni asked, her brow furrowed in .
Nikoos' eyes widened as he excimed, "Wait, they aren't back yet? But it's already quite te!" The worry in his voice alpable.
"Calm down, does anyone know where they went?" Bahamut asked, her tone measured and posed..
"I remember Michalis asking to go expl the city with him in the m." Vasileios spoke up.
Eleni nodded in agreement. "He asked me too, but I refused," she added, her expression pensive.
Nikoos quickly pieced the information together.
"Okay, since Draii strictly enced us to go out in pairs when going far from home, we assume that he listened since he asked everyone in this room," he specuted.
The group fell silent for a moment, eaodding in agreement.
Nikoos tinued, "Knowing Michalis, Vasiliki would be the st person he would ask, but since everyone refused him and are here, Michalis and Vasiliki are likely together, right?" he said.
"Hmm, since he is not alone, he shouldn't cause or run into much trouble” Cir said.
“But it's Vasiliki, so..." her voice trailed off, her expression veying her unspoken s.
Michalis and Vasiliki were known to be the most troublesome of the siblings, and the thought of them being together was quite w.
Bahamut, sensing the growing unease, spoke up.
"I don't sense any abnormalities from my e with them. So I think they are fine," she reassured the group.
Nikoos let out a sigh of relief.
‘I ’t still help but worry, maybe we should look around a bit’ he thought.
"Alright, Vasileios, e with me. Let's go look around a bit for them," he decided, already grabbing his gear.
"Hmm," Vasileios replied, grabbing his own gear.
Dimitra, Cir, and Eleni exged gnces, unsure if they should join the searbsp;
"Should we e too?" Dimitra asked, gesturing towards the trio.
Nikoos shook his head, "No, you girls stay home in case they return." he replied.
"Hmm," Dimitra aowledged.
Just as Nikoos and Vasileios were about to exit the house, the door swung open, and Michalis' voice rang out.
"Everyone, we're back! We bought some chi skewers too," he announced, a proud smile on his face.
The room fell silent, and Michalis' smile faltered as he noticed the gres directed at him.
"Huh, did I do something wrong?" he wondered aloud, fusioched on his features.
Vasiliki, who had been behind Michalis, pushed him aside and stepped forward.
"Is someone hurt?" she asked, her voice was ced with .
Her nose had immediately picked up on the smell of blood as Michalis opehe door and she khat something was wrong.
The sight of the blood-stained coud the blood-soaked rags beside it shook her to the core.
It was a lot of blood, meaning that someone was severely hurt.
"Who did this?" Vasiliki asked, her voice turning cold.
She didn't eve anyone answer, her mind already jumping to clusions.
The temperature in the room began to drop as Vasiliki's magic respoer.
Thwack!
Bahamut immediately stepped forward and hit Vasiliki hard on the head.
"Ouch!" Vasiliki grasped her head in pain.
But Bahamut wasn't doh her yet, she grabbed Vasiliki by the ear, pulling her along till she reach a part of the couch where she sat and forced Vasiliki to kneel.
"Michalis, close the door and e kneel here," Bahamut instructed, her voice threatening to smite him if he refused to listen.
Since Draco was unscious, Bahamut had taken the role as their guardian and was going to mete out punishment accly.
The room remaiense as Michalis and Vasiliki k before Bahamut, their expressions a mix of fusion and trepidation.
Bahamut's gaze swept over the siblings, her eyes filled with a sterermination.
"Now, I need you both to expin yourselves. Where have you been, and what trouble did you both get yourselves into?" she demanded, her voice leaving no room for excuses.
Michalis opened his mouth to speak, but Bahamut raised her hand, sileng him.
She could already tell that he wao make some kind of me joke to downpy the situation.
"I don't want to hear any excuses. I just want the full truthful story, just so you know, gods detect lies” Bahamut added.

Michalis and Vasiliki exged a gheir usual bravado repced by a sense of unease.
Slowly, they began to ret their day’s adveheir voices wavering as they reted the events that had led to their deyed return.
As the story unfolded, the tension in the room shifted, and a sense of uanding began to emerge.
The group listened ily, their expressions shifting from worry to a mix of relief and exasperation.
Bahamut's features softened, and she let out a deep sigh.
"Well, it seems you two have certainly lived up to your reputation," she said, shaking her head.
"But I'm gd you're both safe, and that no one was injured." she said.
“However, you two will still be punished as you have broken the rules” Bahamut sternly added.
With that, the room seemed to collectively exhale, the weight of the earlier gradually lifting as the siblings were reunited, and a sense of normalcy began to return.
