After a refreshing bath and donning a fresh set of clothes, Draade his way to the kit, intending to prepare a quick breakfast.

  However, upoering the kit, he was greeted by a se of plete disarray.

  To his surprise, breakfast had already been prepared, but the kit was left in a state of utter chaos.

  Draco let out a deep sigh, ‘I appreciate that they've cooked, but couldn't they have at least ed up after themselves?" Draused, surveying the cluttered tertops and the sink piled high with dirty pots and pans.

  Just as he was about to begin tidying the kit, a sudden otion from the window startled him.

  Michalis came tumbling through the window, his panicked breathing eg through the room.

  "Gah!" Michalis let out a startled breath as he came face to face with Drabsp;

  The sudden appearance of someone in front of him had panicked him, and he looked visibly shaken.

  "What's going on, why do you look so panicked?" Draco asked, evident in his voice.

  "Draii, you have to save me. Vasiliki, that girl has gone crazy," Michalis hurriedly expined.

  "Expin what happened clearly," Draco requested, his tone firm but patient.

  Michalis then began reting the prank that Vasiliki had pyed on him, Nikoos, and Vasileios.

  He then spoke about his revenge prank, but this still didn't expin why Vasiliki had gone crazy.

  Finally, Michalis revealed the details of the trap that Vasiliki had actally triggered after the truce they had made.

  ‘Sigh, what is going on?’ Draco thought, rubbing his temples.

  “I wake up te one m and chaos ensues everywhere.” he muttered.

  "You will have to deal with this while I go deal with her," Draco said, pointing at the mess i.

  Michalis relutly agreed, his for Vasileios' well-being evident in his expression.

  "Geh, I suppose it's a fair trade. Hopefully Vasileios isn't dead yet." he replied.

  Wasting no time, Draade his way to the neighb house, where the source of the otion y.

  Upon arriving, he was greeted by Nikoos, who seemed retively unfazed by the situation.

  "M, Draii," Nikoos said, his tone casual.

  "M," Draco replied.

  "Where is she?" he asked.

  "Sed-floor hallway," Nikoos answered.

  "I see. you please ask Dimitra, Eleni, and Cir to go help Michalis up the kit?" Draco requested.

  “Did they perhaps cook breakfast” Nikoos asked.

  It was the only sario he could imagihat would leave the kit in such a state.

  “Yea” Draco replied.

  "I see," Nikoos muttered, turning to leave.

  Upoering the house, Draco quickly made his way to the stairs.

  As he asded, he couldn't help but notice the mess that covered the stairs and a portion of the hallway – it was covered in ice.

  "Vasiliki!!" Draco yelled, folding his arms in rage as he awaited her presence.

  Vasiliki, who had been pyfully t Vasileios, felt a chill run down her spi the sound of her name being called.

  ‘Tsk, Michalis that rat must have told Draii,’ she thought.

  "Draii, help me!" Vasileios yelled, relieved that their older brother had arrived to save him.

  Immediately releasing Vasileios, Vasiliki quickly made her way to answer Draco's call.

  Upon reag the hallway, Vasiliki hurriedly ran up to Drad bowed her head in apology.

  "I am sorry," Vasiliki said, her ears flopping down to emphasize her siy.

  "You do know that we don't own this house, right?" Draco asked, his toern.

  "I do," Vasiliki replied.

  "Ho, you do, then what is this mess that I am seeing?" Draco asked.

  "You just had one job, wake your brothers up, and you do this instead," Draco said, disappoi evident in his voice.

  "Teically, I did wake them up," Vasiliki muttered, her voice barely audible.

  "What was that?" Draco threatened, his eyes narrowing.

  "I am sorry," Vasiliki replied, her ears now almost pletely ft against her head.

  Draco took a deep breath, trying to maintain his posure.

  "Vasiliki, I uand that you were trying to prank your brothers, but this is uable. Not only have you created a mess in a house that doesn't belong to us, put your brothers in harm's way, but you've also wasted mind that should be used in the dungeon" Draco said.

  Vasiliki remained silent, her gaze fixed on the floor.

  "I expect you to up all this mess and apologize to Vasileios, Michalis and Nikoos. Additionally, from now on, I want you to think carefully about the sequences of your as before you do something like this again," Draco said, his toer ced with .

  Vasiliki nodded slowly, her ears and tail still drooping.

  "I uand, Draii. I'm sorry for the trouble I've caused." she replied.

  Draco pced a hand on Vasiliki's head, his expression softening.

  "I know you didn't mean any real harm, but you o be more responsible. Now, up this mess and e have breakfast." Draco said.

  “Hmm” Vasiliki nodded her head and immediately got to work.

  …………………………………………………………………………………………….

  Within 30 mihe Bahamut familia had effitly addressed all the pressing issues that had arisen that m.

  With a sense of relief, they gathered around the table to partake in their breakfast, which, on this particur day, held an air of unease for everyone besides Nikoos.

  The ihat had transpired in Draco's room, involving Bahamut, Eleni, Dimitra, and Cir, remained fresh in their minds.

  Meanwhile, Michalis, Vasileios and Vasiliki tio view each other with a wary gazes, still uled by the ret pranking i.

  As a result, the breakfast turned into a quid silent affair, with eadividual ed by their own thoughts and the lingering tensions.

  After breakfast, Bahamut, their goddess, saw them off as they departed for the dungeon, their expressions solemn and their movements subdued.

  Along the way, the grupo purchased some street food for their midday meal, as Draco had not prepared anything for their lunbsp;

  Draco, however, could not help but wonder wheails of the i in his room would eventually e to light.

  He found himself stealing g Cir, Eleni, and Dimitra, anxiously awaiting any sign that they might divulge what had transpired.

  Sensing Draco's unease, Dimitra spoke up, "Rex, Draii, we decided not to say anything." she said.

  "Really?" Draco asked, his voice ced with a mixture of relief and apprehension.

  "Yes," Eleni interjected, her tone reassuring.

  "Thank you, I suppose, but we will eventually have to discuss it, I mean, a topic reted to it. You all are about that age now," Draco replied.

  "If you say so," Dimitra responded, her words tinged with a hint nation.

  Suddenly, Vasiliki's voiterrupted the group's hushed versation.

  "What are you guys whispering about?" she inquired, her eyes gleaming with curiosity.

  "It's about..." Cir began, only to be swiftly silenced by a swift blow to the head from Eleni.

  "Ouch! What was that for? I stopped stalking!" Cir pined, rubbing the sore spot on her head.

  "Silly, you've already piqued her curiosity. Just look at those eyes, screaming 'I want to know,'" Eleni replied, gesturing towards Vasiliki's eager expression.

  'Tsk, it seems they're hiding something juicy. My instincts tell me so,' Vasiliki thought, her mind rag with possibilities.

  Draco heaved a heavy sigh, already resigo the fact that the details of the i would eventually be revealed, no matter how much he wished he could erase the memories.

  With a weary mind, he led his familia towards the dungeon, their footsteps heavy as they prepared to grind for the day.

  ………………………………………………………………………………………………

  A month ter……….

  A little over a month have passed sihe Bahamut familia came to Orario, and they had grown signifitly, especially Drabsp;

  His stats were already approag the limit of level one, only awaiting a major burst of high quality excelia that would push him to level 2.

  This was going to be an awfully fast and unnatural levelling speed, but Draew that it was only so because his body was simply in the process of adjusting, hehe rapid growth.

  O reached a band settled down, his growth speed would also slow down.

  At least, that was the theory that he and Bahamut had e up with.

  Draco wasn't the only oo grow fast; the rest of the Bahamut familia were not gging too far behiher.

  Their growth speeds were quite fast, with some already reag the minimum threshold to level up.

  Draew that they were all gifted, so he wasn't going to let them level up so early.

  He had set a minimum requirement of having their main stats at S-rank and the other stats at A-rank before they could level up.

  It was a bit harsh, but Draco sidered it reaso least during the early levels.

  He knew what was going to happe year and that they needed a strong foundation for the future.

  As Draco y on his bed, he pondered whether he should dey his own level up.

  The Bahamut familia had been grinding daily in the dungeon, from 8 am to 6 pm, almost every day for the past month.

  The volume of mohey fought daily was a lot, thanks to Draco's ability to quickly find monsters within the area.

  This, in turn, had left them extremely fatigued every day but was also a major factor in their quick growth.

  Draco was pting not levelling up until after Denatus, a meeting of the gods held every three months.

  It was currently April, so the meeting was scheduled to be held quite soon.

  The reason Draco pondered on his, was because during the Denatus, aliases were given to adventurers who had retly leveled up, granting them some form nition.

  Normally, this wouldn't be a problem, but Draco's level up would be too fast and called to question, meaning that he would gain a lot of attention during the Denatus.

  The attention itself wasn't a problem, but Draco was afraid that certain things would be set in motion before his familia could build enough power.

  He was aware that he didn't have enough power and allies to deter the hidden enemies of his race amongst the gods and possibly mortals.

  But by deying his level up a bit and avoiding the Denatus to be held within the month, he would have three more months to grow and strengthen his familia.

  Additionally, Draco estimated that within two months, the other members of his familia would have gained enough excelia to level up as well.

  During the Denatus, which would be held in the month of July, Bahamut would have a lot t about, and they would be somerepared for what would follow.

  Draco eveertaihe thought that if he was lucky, he might be able to level up again during that time.

  As Drapted his move, he couldn't help but feel a sense of unease.

  The path ahead was not without its challenges, and he khat he would o be ing and strategic to ehe survival and success of his familia.

  With a deep breath, he steeled his resolve, determio do whatever it took to protect those he held dear.
