"Lady Riveria… a-are you on a date with Mr. Raven Eltharion…?"
Lefiya's voice cracked slightly as she forced her trembling lips to form the words.
She took a few deep breaths—
But still...
She couldn't calm the shock in her heart!
Even Ais looked visibly surprised.
After all, within the [Loki Familia]...
The [Nine Hell] Riveria always carried herself with a lofty, unapproachable demeanor.
And more importantly—
Riveria was a noble-born royal elf.
Among the elven race,
It had always been customary to avoid unnecessary physical contact with outsiders.
Much like the pristine and purity-obsessed [Ryuu Lion].
Raven heard the question and chose silence.
He was curious how Riveria would explain herself.
If she couldn't make things clear, gossip and rumors would surely spread like wildfire.
Raven personally didn't care—his [Familia] only had him.
And as an obscure, no-name "small Familia," any impact would be negligible.
But Riveria was a different story.
As one of the top figures in Orario's elite [Loki Familia], which had hundreds of members, any rumors could spread fast.
Riveria remained composed—
Not a trace of embarrassment on her face.
"Lefiya, am I not allowed to go out shopping?"
Her cool voice was calm and indifferent.
Coupled with the stern look she shot at Lefiya—
The poor elf immediately froze, unsure what to say.
So intense!
This "Mama Rivi" exuded such pressure—it was clear why she was considered a top-tier mage.
For a moment—
Lefiya lowered her head slightly, not daring to meet the eyes of the [Nine Hell].
Ais watched quietly without speaking.
"Come on, I'll treat you to something to eat," Riveria said, turning to Raven with a noticeably gentler tone.
Then, in a more motherly voice, she added,
"Ais, Lefiya—why don't you two join us?"
"…Okay," Ais softly murmured.
A little while later—
The four of them sat together at a grilled food stall.
After some casual conversation…
"What?!" Lefiya gasped in shock.
"Mr. Raven, you've been promoted to an upper-class adventurer?!"
"Yeah," Raven said casually, chewing on a delicious skewer of grilled meat.
"But I haven't reported it to the Guild yet."
No doubt about it—this grilled meat was delicious.
Lefiya was dumbfounded, holding her breath in disbelief.
Raven looked at her and calmly said,
"If you don't believe me, we can have a magic duel sometime."
Honestly—
Lefiya, who was Level 3, wasn't a match for him at all.
With all the stacked buffs from his skills, Raven could practically overwhelm her in an instant.
"Alright then."
Lefiya definitely didn't believe she'd lose to a Level 2 human.
Among the various races:
Elves were undoubtedly born for magic;
Dwarves had unmatched strength and endurance;
Beastmen had keen senses and extraordinary physicality;
Amazons had excellent combat techniques;
Pallums had strong spatial awareness, agility, and quick minds;
And humans…
Their "advantage," if it could be called that, was being able to reproduce with other demi-humans.
Riveria finally spoke up.
"His talent... I think it surpasses both of you."
"Lefiya, from now on, I'll be acting as his teacher. I hope you can keep that to yourself."
"After we return from the expedition, I'll be leading special training."
"No problem," Raven replied lightly.
Then he looked toward the [Thousand Elf], the corners of his mouth rising.
"Lefiya—"
"When the time comes, let's see who's stronger."
That line immediately ignited Lefiya's burning desire to compete.
Raven knew—
Their expedition wouldn't be a short one. It would take at least a week before they returned.
And by then—
He just might reach Level 3.
Ais kept her eyes on Raven.
Those clear golden irises shimmered with curiosity.
After a moment, she softly opened her lips:
"Can I join too?"
"Uh…" Raven was a bit stunned.
"You want to challenge me as well?"
"Is that not okay?" Ais tilted her head slightly, showing an adorably confused expression.
This was none other than the silent heroine [Sword Princess]—a Level 5 adventurer.
Raven thought for a moment and said,
"Alright."
"We'll do it after you get back from the expedition."
Now wasn't the time for sparring—if they were going to duel, it would be in the Dungeon.
For a moment, the four of them silently felt a rising sense of anticipation.
Riveria had high hopes for Raven—especially curious about the type of magic he possessed.
Raven, too, wanted to prove his strength in front of the three of them.
Otherwise, when would he ever get a proper stage to perform?
"Well, it's getting late. I'll head home now." With that, Raven bid them farewell.
