As the Bahamut familia settled into a cozy private room within the Guild, the air thick with anticipation.

  Rose, regarded Draco with a mixture of curiosity and , her brow furrowed slightly.

  "So, anyone expin what happeo him?" she asked, her finger pointing toward Draco with an inquisitive tilt of her head.

  Draco could sehe intrigue radiating from Rose, but he hesitated.

  This was delicate territory, one he preferred to navigate with caution.

  "It’s nothing much. His transformation is due to some perks of his race. I’m sure you have it in the guild records that his species is rare and unusual," Bahamut interjected, her voice smooth and fident.

  “Ah yes, if I remember correctly, he stated that he was a dragon kin,” Rose aowledged, her eyes narrowing as she awaited further eboration.

  “That’s right,” Bahamut replied, the ers of her mouth curling into a knowing smile.

  “Saying anything else would be an infri of our familia secrets.” Bahamut stated.

  Rose’s expression shifted, a mix of disappoi and uanding crossing her fabsp;

  She wao press for more details, but the goddess’s words were a clear boundary.

  Draco felt a wave of relief wash over him. He had entrusted Bahamut with this responsibility for a reason; it provided a yer of prote not just for him but for Rose as well.

  After all, she was a guild employee, bound by her duty to report anomalies.

  The versation shifted, and Rose quickly reposed herself.

  “Is there anything else that is pressing?” she asked, her professional demeanour returning.

  Her curiosity had momentarily been stifled, but she was eager to get to the heart of the meeting.

  “Ahem, I will take it from here,” Draco said, rummaging through his bag with a sense of purpose.

  He pulled out a stack of papers and pced them firmly oable, letting them nd with a soft thud that echoed in the quiet room.

  “What is this?” Rose asked, her fingers already reag for the sheets.

  As she dragged them closer, Draco felt a surge of excitement.

  He had meticulously removed all stats and skill information prior to presenting them, ensuring fidentiality.

  As Rose skimmed through the first page, her eyes widened in disbelief.

  “Is this really true?” she stammered, her voice trembling with astonishment.

  Draodded, a broad smile spreading across his fabsp;

  This was the rea he had hoped for. He could sense her internal struggle — the joy of aplishment mixed with the for the implications of such rapid growth.

  She was well aware of the uproar this would cause when the information spread.

  She was still trying to wrestle with the potential fallout from Draco’s first level up, but now he had doubled down.

  ‘Wait, there’s more than one sheet here... could it be…’ Rose’s thoughts raced as she flipped through the rest.

  Her expression shifted dramatically as she absorbed the implications.

  “What is this… not just you, but Cir, Michalis, Eleni, Nikoos, Dimitra, Vasileios, and Vasiliki too? They all went up one level?” she muttered, her voice barely above a whisper.

  Normally, such a feat would fill Rose with pride, a boon to her career as their guild advisor.

  But now, given the circumstances, overshadowed her excitement.

  Draco’s level had surged from oo three in a mere four months, while the others had jumped from level oo two.

  The previous record holder had taken aire year to achieve a simir milestone.

  “How is this possible?” Rose asked, gng at Bahamut, who wore an expression of pride that was both f and intimidating.

  “Don’t ask me; my children are just that talented,” Bahamut replied, her tone ced with affe and fidence.

  Rose was left speechless, her mind swirling with implications.

  Draco decided it was time to steer the versation ba trabsp;

  “We didn’t just e to report our level up, we would like to upgrade our familia rank. Is that possible today?” he asked, his tone hopeful.

  “Ah yes, I do that. Just give me a few minutes,” Rose replied, her demeanour shifting from astoo focused.

  She stood up hurriedly, clutg the dots tightly, aed the meeting room to retrieve the necessary forms for the upgrade.

  As soon as she left, Michalis burst into ughter, his voice eg in the y room.

  “Did you all see the look on her face?” he excimed, wiping a tear of mirth from his eye.

  “Yeah, I would be shocked too if I were her,” Eleni chimed in, a grin spreading across her face.

  “By the way,” Vasiliki interjected, her curiosity piqued, “after this upgrade, are we allowed to go to Rivira?” she asked.

  “Where is that?” Nikoos asked, his brow furrowed in fusion.

  The others turo Vasiliki, equally intrigued.

  “Tsk, didn’t any of you do ih resear the middle floors?” Vasiliki questioned, shaking her head.

  “Listen closely, Rivira is an adventurer city located oh floor of the dungeon. That’s all I know about it.” She said.

  “What? That’s all? Then why were you ag like such a know-it-all just a moment ago?” Michalis teased, earning a scowl from Vasiliki.

  “At least I know more than you. That’s enough. So shut up a me tinue,” Vasiliki shot back, her tone pyful yet pointed.

  “You….” Michalis was about to begin an argument.

  “Not here,” Draterjected, a watchful gaze keeping the atmosphere light.

  “Anyway, the 18th floor is a safe haven in the dungeon, where monsters don’t spawn. Occasionally, creatures may emerge from below, but that’s rare,” Vasiliki tinued, her eyes gleaming with excitement.

  “I’ve read that the floor is filled with lumi crystals and lush nature. There’s even a ke and a rge forest that gloale blue, thanks to the crystals refleg light from the ceiling. There’s a massive crystal that resembles the sun, trolling a day and night cycle. It sounds enting!” she expined.

  The thought of a romantic outing by the ke with Draade her heart flutter.

  ‘Hehehe, a date by the ke with Draii might be fun,’ she mused, her imagination painting vivid pictures.

  Just then, Rose returo the room, clutg several dots.

  She sed the room, her sharp gaze nding on Michalis’s sour expression and Vasiliki’s dreamy expression.

  “Did something happen while I was gone?” she asked, arg an eyebrow.

  “Nothing of significe,” Draco replied smoothly.

  Rose nodded, seemingly not curious about what happened.

  She set to work filling out forms, her pen gliding across the paper as she and Bahamut firmed the details for the familia upgrade.

  In Orario, familias existed in various forms — exploration, industrial, medical, and even national types.

  The Bahamut familia rimarily cssified as an exploration type, dedicated to delving into the dangerous depths of the duo retrieve monster parts and magic stones.

  Exploration type familia duties extended beyond dungeon exploration, but the most on was dungeon exploration.

  Draco had decided to add a business aspect to their familia at a ter time, after unc how to freely use his Mystery development ability.

  Each familia in Orario was ranked from I to S based on size and achievements, which also determiheir tax obligations to the guild.

  “With your current achievements, I elevate the Bahamut familia to rank G. Any higher would raise questions, given your size and presence,” Rose expined, her expression serious.

  ‘That’s fine, I already knew numbers would hinder us even with our current achievement. Besides why would I want to pay ridiculous taxes when we’re still just only 8 members’ Draco thought.

  “That’s fih us,” Bahamut said, her voice steady.

  After settling the fees and filing all necessary dots, the Bahamut familia was officially ranked G, a signifit aplishment froup of o members in just over four months.

  With their business cluded, the Bahamut familia exited the guild, they were going to have a little celebration to orate their level up, and familia promotion…..
