Is It Wrong For Me To Start With Three Skills In Danmachi ?!

Because of that topic, the adventurers drinking in the tavern immediately erupted into a noisy clamor.

Naturally, a certain cat girl perked her ears and then Ryuu, Chloe, Lunoire, and the others also became curious about whether the rumor was true...

----------------------------

"Ryu, is something like this even possible?"

Although the girls were all experts, it was [Gale], who single-handedly wiped out the Evilus faction and sent Gods back to the heavens, that had the most experience.

"It... probably isn't possible. A Lv.2 already struggles on the 13th floor alone. To massacre a 'Monster Party', I think only one person has ever done that."

"Who?"

"[Sword Princess] Ais Wallenstein."

"Don't scare me, Ryu. Don't tell me we've got another monster like that sword freak?"

"I don't know either."

The scene in The Benevolent Mistress was just a microcosm of Orario.

In the tavern at night, countless people were discussing the topic. As Fron would say, when it comes to combat power, the topic instantly explodes, hundreds of discussion threads could pop up in minutes.

The incident involving the [Flame Demon] who single-handedly slaughtered a 'Monster Party' on the 13th floor began spreading among adventurers.

At first, the bystanders thought this event would be overshadowed quickly by new news, as usual, but to their surprise, it only escalated. Word even reached the guild's upper ranks, prompting an urgent response.

In the second-floor conference room of Twilight Manor.

Loki, Finn, Riveria, and Gareth were either sitting or standing, with the deity Loki casually lounging atop the desk, legs crossed.

Riveria closed one eye and looked at Loki.

"Let's hear it, Loki. The [Flame Demon] incident is growing out of control. I don't think we can cover it up any longer."

Cold sweat beaded on Loki's forehead, unsure of what to say.

"Loki, it's Fron, isn't it?"

"Ugh, can't you just pretend not to know, Finn?"

The pallum leader swung his feet from the chair, smiling wryly.

"Even if I pretended not to know, the people below would figure it out."

"Black-and-red additional magic, lightning-like speed, explosive power, crisp and efficient combat."

"And most importantly… attributes far beyond a typical Lv.2."

"It can only be Fron, right? With his absurd stats..."

Loki sighed.

"Ah, I didn't think things would blow up like this, though I kinda expected it would happen someday."

Riveria smiled, trying to reassure them.

"While there are fewer adventurer parties on the 13th floor than the upper levels, it's not exactly deserted. Too many people witnessed it. Even if we wanted to keep it quiet, we couldn't. I bet the guild's investigators are already on their way."

"Hey Loki, don't tell me you haven't registered Fron's level yet. If we're caught hiding his stats… a compulsory mission is definitely coming our way."

Loki groaned in frustration.

"Let's go talk to Fron. That kid isn't unreasonable. Though I guess his sneaky growth plan is ruined now!"

The three bigshots exchanged glances, their expressions grim.

"He really is something else. Most adventurers crave fame. He doesn't care about it at all. So strange."

"By the way, Riveria, how's his parallel chanting training going? It's been half a month, right?"

When Finn brought it up, even Riveria couldn't maintain her composure.

"Ugh… how do I put it? If I had to use one word to describe that kid, it'd be 'monster.'"

?

The others looked at her, confused, silently asking for clarification.

"His learning speed and ability to absorb knowledge are unreal. Photographic memory, instantaneous comprehension of knowledge..."

"It took him only three days to master two techniques."

"Then four more days for three more. Another seven days for four more. After ten days, he had mastered the entire system, in less than a month."

"Two days ago, he was already able to flawlessly use parallel chanting. Since then, he's been sparring with Bete, Tiona, Tione, and others."

"..."

That kind of learning speed isn't normal.

Maybe if he had a magical background, like an elf raised with magic, then perhaps some genius might barely pull it off...

But Fron is human. A human who only received a blessing less than half a year ago, a magic newbie...

It's just absurd.

"Loki… is he going to level up again?"

Finn bit his thumb, thinking back on Fron's recent behavior. A thought suddenly emerged in his mind, shocking even himself.

"His first level-up took about a month, right? It's been three months since then. Judging by the time... he's probably at the limit again."

Loki drained the rest of her wine and wiped her mouth with the back of her hand, eyes narrowing.

"Ah... the conditions for his great feat are already set."

"What's he planning?"

"A solo takedown of the 17th-floor floor boss, Goliath!"

"NA-NI?!" *3

...

Central courtyard.

After several days of training...

Fron was now able to use the [Parallel Chanting] technique fluently.

Even in intense battles with Ais and the others, he made no mistakes.

With powerful mental fortitude and the 'Reader' trait's immunity to mind effects, he embodied everything a mage should be.

As long as he wished it, no one could break him out of his [Calm Mind] state.

"Looks like everything's ready. Tomorrow's the day!"

Back in his room, Fron sat on the edge of the bed, hands crossed beneath his nose, examining the neatly arranged equipment on the floor.

The [Aquamarine Staff] and [Short Sword No. 4], one main weapon and one sub-weapon, plus a massive great sword specifically designed for fighting huge floor bosses.

A 'Fire Spirit Cloak,' a double utility-belt, two leg straps.

Durable gloves and leather boots.

10 dual-type healing potions, 5 advanced healing potions, 20 healing potions, 5 high-grade mana potions, and 1 full-recovery elixir.

That was everything prepared for the floor boss raid.

"Do everything within your ability to prepare, that's one of the adventurer's creeds." Fron smiled.

Under the moonlight, the blue rings in his golden eyes glimmered with mysterious light, swirling endlessly.

...

...

The next day, warm sunlight bathed him, gentle and comforting. The sky was clear and cloudless, forming a seamless horizon, like a mirror.

The Babel Tower continued its duty, as it had for a thousand years. People had long since grown used to its presence.

The labyrinth city Orario, the center of the world, continued its lively clamor.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Ais."

The blonde girl shook her head, making a cute nasal sound to say she hadn't.

"Alright, let's go!"

"Mm."

...

...

"Are you idiots or what? Can't you at least be professional about stalking? At the very least wear a cloak to cover your face?"

"Idiot Amazoness, what are you talking about? Why should I hide?"

"Stupid wolf, we all came down to the dungeon together. Even an idiot would realize something's off. Aren't you worried the guild will go after our familia? Do you even get what Fron is trying to do?"

"Tch, boring."

"Can you guys stop fighting... Ahhh, we're exposed!"

Lv.2 Fron challenging a massive Lv.4 floor boss solo, a legendary battle that crosses two levels.

If he succeeds, even the gods will sing his praises.

As for the adventurers… who knows how much of a stir it'll cause.
