In this dungeon city hailed as the center of the world, there were very few first-class adventurers who could reach Lv.5.
Take the Apollo Familia, for example. It was considered one of Orario's most established factions, yet its captain was only Lv.3.
Or take the Ishtar Familia. Even among Orario's top-tier factions, its captain was only Lv.5.
Only factions standing at Orario's pinnacle, such as the Loki Familia and Freyja Familia, possessed multiple first-class adventurers.
Yet even the Loki Familia and Freyja Familia had fewer than ten first-class adventurers each.
That alone showed just how important first-class adventurers were to a familia.
Although Noah was only a newcomer, the entire familia was delighted that one of their companions had become a first-class adventurer.
"With this, our familia won't have fewer first-class adventurers than the Freyja Familia."
"But the Freyja Familia has Ottar, the Bringer of Ruin."
"What are we afraid of? Our familia has the captain, the vice-captain, and Lord Gareth!"
"But if the captain, vice-captain, and Lord Gareth all go deal with the Bringer of Ruin, who will handle the Freyja Familia's Lv.6 adventurers?"
"What are we afraid of? We still have Miss Ais!"
"That's right!"
"Miss Ais is the strongest female swordswoman. Even when she was Lv.5, she was far stronger than other Lv.5s. Now that she's reached Lv.6, taking on one or two Lv.6s would be easy for her."
"I still think it's a little iffy..."
The Loki Familia members queued up as they chattered away.
At that, Finn, Riveria, and Gareth exchanged looks.
"Just as expected," Gareth said with a sigh.
"Even the members of our own familia compare us with the Freyja Familia."
"Isn't that only natural?"
