The Dungeon Conquerors: Journey to the Peak

After reaching the Heaven Supression City safely, the very first thing Rein did was to buy a decently sized house. Normally he would have booked an inn but as now he had a big family with him, he decided to get a house.

This house was located in the middle grade district of the city. Rein actually wanted to buy a house in the high grade district as that would be most comfortable for everyone but Lan stopped her. That was because according to the little information she was able to gather, the comfort of the middle grade district was already very high.

So buying a property in the high grade district for almost ten times the price was not worth it in her eyes. Rein also took her advice and decided to get a house in the middle grade district.

Then all of them rested for a day and then the next day Rein went to find a shop. The product he was planning to sell were pills and other things that a sect had monopoly over. After getting a good position in the Divine Scale Pavillion, Rein was planning to earn some extra cash by using the unique and rare product of a sect.

He took Lan and her father with him to search for the shop while the other people remained in the house. After searching for a long time, they were able to find a shop that satisfied them but the negotiations again took quite a long time.

Rein was a bit surprised to see how amazing Lan was in this field and she shyly admitted that it was mostly because of her inherent skill called "Persuasion" that allowed her to turn quite a few situations in her favour without raising any suspicions.

After buying a shop, Rein had almost lost all his savings. He still had some money left but that would not be enough in the long run and he needed to start making money very soon. There was still about a week left before the start of the qualification test for the Divine Scale Pavillion so Rein decided to make Colinde join the Demon Slaying Division first.

So, the next day both of them went to the Demon Slaying Division of the city. It was located in a prominent part of the city and it was also one of the biggest buildings of that area. They entered the building and went to the front reception to ask about the procedure to join the Demon Slaying Division.

The male receptionist was very surprised and happy to know that Colinde had a powerful skill very useful for demon slaying. He was suprised as this type of skills were really rare and the reason why he was very happy was because he would be able to get a high bonus if he introduced this genius to their division.

He himself completed all the paperwork needed  for the process and immediately escorted Rein and Colinde to a special room to test her skills. They had already shown him the authentication certificate but still they needed to take this test as here they would be using an advanced tool which was capable of even measuring the quality of the skill.

This was a very fascinating topic for Rein as he had no idea what the quality of a skill was. He had never come across this topic anywhere but the way the receptionist spoke, it looked like this was not that big of a secret among the high ranking places.

Rein told Colinde to ask a few questions about this matter to the receptionist. Rein himself did not ask the questions as the receptionist was not giving him much attention. It was probably because Rein was still a child and he thought that Rein had no value and he was useless. But as Colinde was his golden goose, he was paying a lot of attention to her.

When Colinde asked what the quality of the skill was this man started to answer her almost immediately. Colinde was not paying much attention to what this irritating man was saying but Rein was very interested in the topic and listened to him very attentively.

From what this man told Rein got a lot of valuable information. The skills were divided into 5 levels depending on the power and rarity of a spell. Those levels were represented by Stars so a one star skills were the weakest and a five star skills were the strongest.

Even though one star skills were called the weakest that did not mean that those skills were useless. The useless skills were not given any star rating and only somewhat useful skills were able to even become a one star skill.

...

The test that Colinde had to give was very simple. She just went inside a chamber and that chamber scanned her body very thoroughly and was able to find the level of the skill after she activated it. This process did not take long and Colinde was done in just a few minutes.

Then suddenly the person who was in charge of operating the machine started shouting. This was very unexpected and everyone present in that room looked at him as if he had gone mad. But this man did not pay any attention to the weird looks he was getting from everyone and started to declare Colinde's results with great excitement.

Everyone was curious to know what the result of the test was that it made a calm person like him to become so excited. But when the result was declared all of them also opened their mouths wide in surprise. That was because Colinde's demon slaying sword turned out to be a Five Star Skill and moreover it was completely specialised for their demon slaying division.

Even Rein was a bit surprised that Colinde's skills turned out to be a Five Star skill. He had expected her skill to not be low in the rankings but five stars was something that Rein had not expected. Either this skill could be strengthened to a great degree by using the training methods specifically designed for it or the power level of this world was lower than what Rein was expecting.

Hearing that a Five Star skill holder had appeared in the demon slaying division, the division head himself came and welcomed Colinde. All the members of the division were very eager to rope her in and tried to get her to join their faction by giving her various benefits.

There were quite a few people who actually tried to separate Rein and Colinde. They promised to provide Colinde with the best accommodation and treatment. They also told her about various benefits she would be able to get by joining them and asked her to come with them. Obviously Rein was not included in this plan and a few people were even thinking of a way to get rid of him.

Only a few people with good eyes did not oppose Rein and they were able to see that Rein's skin was a bit abnormal and he might not be a useless person.

Colinde obviously rejected all the proposals and returned to their home with Rein. She would regularly start going to the Demon Slaying Division from the next day onward to do her special training and Rein would not be allowed there. So Colinde's new challenge was going to begin soon.
