...

Riezel and every executive of Loki Familia were in Loki's divine room at this moment.

"..."

Reading Riezel's status that had just been translated by Loki, whether it was the three top executives leading the Loki Familia or the executives like Ais and the others, all fell into a death-like silence.

Riezel, brought here by Loki, exposed his status as he intended with her cooperation.

The backbones of the Familia stared at the parchment held by Finn, looking at the ridiculous status on it, their breath gradually becoming erratic.

Especially Ais, her gaze was almost fixed on the skill called 'Fool's Obsession'—or rather, on the effect of 'Extraordinary increase in growth speed.'

At some point, her hands had quietly clenched.

Everyone could only exchange stupefied glances, their gazes frequently moving back and forth on Riezel and the parchment in Finn's hands, feeling their heads spinning.

No choice.

The amount of information brought by Riezel's status was too much for them, leaving them in confusion.

Among everyone present, only Riezel remained calm from start to finish.

As for Loki, her face wore a mischievous grin, enjoying the spectacle as she watched everyone's reactions.

"As you can see, this kid has incredible potential. Right from the get-go, he not only awakened one magic and three skills but, whether it's magic or skills, they're all super unique and absurd."

Loki spread her hands wide as she spoke.

"That's why this kid's growth speed is so fast. He only got a blessing from me three days ago, and before that, he had none, and I can vouch for that."

As the Goddess's words reached everyone's ears, they not only failed to shatter the silence but left them even more speechless.

However, Riezel's standing in the hearts of everyone present was gradually becoming completely different.

"At first, I thought he was just a rookie with great potential, but did we seriously underestimate him?" Finn chuckled. He knew very well that if Riezel truly possessed these exaggerated magic and skills recorded on the parchment in his hands, Riezel's existence would mean something significant.

Not just Finn, even Riveria and Gareth, the oldest members in the Familia, were aware of this.

"Could this kid be the one who will shatter the legend of only one Level 7 in all of Orario...?" Gareth's hushed words sent shockwaves through everyone's hearts.

Level 7.

This was something that had never happened in Loki Familia, a level that only one figure in all of Orario had reached even after searching far and wide.

That person was considered Orario's ultimate weapon, a legendary character on par with ancient heroes, enjoying fame worldwide.

Finn, Riveria, and Gareth had been striving for that realm for who knows how many years, but they had yet to succeed.

Even the genius members of Loki Familia, whether it was Bete, the twin sisters Tiona and Tione who became Level 5 at a young age, or Ais, the record holder for the fastest ascent to Level 2, all of them were true geniuses with innate potential among the world's top characters.

However, in the three top executives' eyes, the chances of these geniuses reaching Level 7 were equally slim, with Ais being the only one with a somewhat plausible chance.

But now, in Riezel, everyone saw the possibility of him breaking through that level. At least, the three top executives felt this way.

In such a situation, he could no longer be described simply as a 'rookie with potential'. He was clearly a supernova possessing the 'hero' characteristic!

Once again, everyone looked at him, their eyes filled with various complex emotions.

"Tch!" Bete couldn't help but click his tongue, then turned around, walking away with an irritated pace.

"Where are you going?" Riveria frowned and asked as she saw Bete's back.

"Dungeon." Bete replied coldly and strode away without looking back.

"Make sure not to spill the beans, Bete." Loki reminded with a mischievous grin on her face that never faded while her squinted eyes slightly opened.

"I've classified Riezel's status as Familia's top secret. Initially, I was only going to spill the beans to Finn. Fortunately, Riezel's cool with you guys knowing, so I'm lifting the ban on spilling the beans to you. Just be careful not to blurt it out carelessly, okay?"

Upon hearing her warning, Bete came to a halt. He knew well how crucial one's status information could be.

If exposed to others, it could turn into a deadly situation if targeted, especially for someone like Riezel, with such outrageous magic and skills. If his information leaked, there was a 90% chance of attracting the attention of Loki Familia's enemies or falling prey to those with ulterior motives.

Considering such possibilities, normally, details of one's status would be shared sparingly, even among companions within the same Familia, except for close relatives.

Bete himself followed this principle; even within the Familia, very few knew all of his abilities.

In Riezel's case, he should have been extra cautious about safeguarding his status information. Even among the Familia executives present, only Finn, as the Familia's captain responsible for coordinating all members, would need to know some details. For the rest, it wouldn't be surprising if they remained ignorant, regardless of how well the information was kept confidential.

However, Riezel chose to disclose it to them.

Despite Bete being a rather unpleasant senior, Riezel still chose to let him know his status.

Realizing this, Bete was once again realized and astonished.

"Who would do such a stupid thing!"

Leaving a grumpy remark, Bete left the room more violently and impatiently.

Tiona and Tione exchanged glances and then turned to leave as well.

"Where are you two going?" Riveria inquired helplessly.

""Dungeon.""

The twin sisters' responses were almost synchronized.

Seeing even the Amazoness twins were leaving, Riveria sighed and pressed her forehead with her hand.

"Those kids just came back from an expedition yesterday. Today, there's a lot of work to be done with the loot, and yet they abandoned it all to go to the dungeon. What's going on?"

"Guhahaha! They must have been stimulated, those little rascals."

Riveria's sigh of resignation was met with Gareth's involuntary laughter, and he hit the nail on the head.

Bete, Tiona, and Tione were indeed stimulated.

Stimulated by Riezel's inhuman potential.

Stimulated by Riezel's rapid growth speed.

"Did they realize there's a monster chasing them from behind, worried their junior might surpass them?" Loki chuckled, looking like she enjoyed the chaos she caused.

"You knew it would turn out like this, yet still intentionally make this happen, no?" Finn looked at Loki helplessly.

"Well, isn't that great?" Loki chuckled skeptically. "Maybe this can bring new energy and motivation to those kids. Just thinking about it gets me excited."

"You Gods always enjoy watching these unpredictable developments unfold..." Gareth discontentedly remarked. "Now, all the work of handling loot falls on us old folks. Can't those little rascals take care of the elderly?"

"Well, since it's come to this, let them do as they please," Riveria said tiredly, shook her head, and then looked towards Riezel. "It's tough for you to reveal detailed information about your status like this. Don't worry, despite Bete, Tiona, and Tione seeming hasty and impatient, they know their limits. They won't casually expose your secrets."

Her voice softened as she spoke to him.

"I know." Riezel calmly smiled at Riveria. "Otherwise, I wouldn't have chosen to reveal it."

Based on his understanding of the original work and familiarity with the important characters of Loki Familia, he believed that everyone present could be trusted.

Even with Bete's shitty attitude, Riezel knew that deep down, he wasn't a bad guy; it was just a result of his difficult experiences that made him speak harshly.

So, Riezel chose not to hide the details of his status. This decision was made with future development in mind. After all, he would inevitably need to seek advice from these Familia seniors in the future, asking them to guide him.

Whether it was magic or combat skills, he had a lot to learn, and showcasing his potential like this, gaining the attention of Familia executives, was necessary.

Loki seemed to see through Riezel, and doubts crept into her mind.

'This kid didn't have this attitude when he received a blessing three days ago.'

At that time, she thought he wouldn't easily integrate and mingle into the Familia. Who would have thought that once he recognized all of Familia's executives, he would start demonstrating his value? Quite clever.

"You can consult us anytime; it's okay. We'd be happy to guide a rookie with unlimited potential like you." Finn also sensed Riezel's intentions.

Riveria and Gareth nodded in agreement.

"Thank you." Riezel bowed his head to everyone in gratitude.

Unbeknownst to him, Ais, who had remained silent behind him, was watching him intensely.

In her eyes, there was nothing but envy.
