Danma: Danganronpa, but Monster Hunter!

No, that's not right. I didn't go alone this time. I also trained Blaze. I was on serious business!

Even Riveria had no reason to criticize her for coming home late because she was training someone.

That's right, that's it!

Thinking of this, Ais felt confident, and her initial slight unease vanished.

Time passed slowly as the three of them talked. By the time they arrived at headquarters, it was completely dark, and Orario had entered the real night.

"Sorry I'm back a little late, please open the door."

"oh oh."

After exchanging greetings, the guards creaked open the large iron gate and returned to the courtyard. The group intended to part ways there, but just as Ais had predicted, behind the entrance, an elf stood with his arms crossed, eyes half-closed, leisurely waiting for the late-returning fledglings to walk into his trap.

A sense of oppression arose spontaneously.

Rivera's emerald eyes swept over the three of them, then paused briefly on Flame before her expression softened slightly, her tone carrying a hint of helplessness.

"Even during training, you should pay attention to the time. I won't say anything else, let's rest first."

“…Mmm!” Ais nodded vigorously, her inner Ais leaping with joy. This was the first time she had ever felt this way, it was wonderful.

"Go ahead. By the way, Flame, don't rush the training. Too much of anything is bad. Rest is also important. Also, don't neglect your study of the sacred script."

Rivera stepped aside, then, as if remembering something, whispered a reminder.

Flame paused slightly, then smiled and said, "No problem."

This was just a minor incident, and before long, it was the morning of the next day.

Just like yesterday, Flame endured today's morning training under Ais's guidance, but Ais on the other side had a somewhat unsatisfied expression, as if she was savoring the difference between yesterday afternoon's special training and this morning's.

According to her, the Flame Training with and without armor is a completely different experience.

Because armored flames are difficult to damage, you can put a lot of effort into training without worrying about them getting seriously injured. Unarmored flames, on the other hand, have much better flesh, but you have to hold back your strength during training.

Yes, today's summary was also excellent.

This will definitely be useful next time!

Incidentally, the term "meat quality" was something Lieyan had recently taught her.

"Are you alright, Flame?" Ais asked with concern after the training session.

"fine."

Flame moved his body, completely disregarding the intensity of the morning training. It was nothing compared to the intensity of yesterday's training, which could be dealt with by a mere bottle of recovery potion. It wasn't even enough to carry the shoes of the person who had to drink over a hundred bottles of potions to stand up and return yesterday!

"So, will we continue training this afternoon?" Ais looked intently at Lieyan, her eyes full of anticipation.

Flame's face twitched imperceptibly, then he gritted his teeth and squeezed out a single word.

"practice!"

Train until you drop dead! This inhuman training is the only way to become a hunter with terrible meat quality!

"But I'll have to wait until I get Loki to update my stats today before I see..."

In an instant, Lieyan changed the subject.

He coughed lightly, his gaze slightly evasive.

Let me state upfront that he is not afraid of Ais's super-devilish training at all. He just had the idea of ​​updating his ability values ​​a long time ago. After updating his ability values, he can also adjust his plans accordingly based on the growth momentum.

“Oh.” Ais nodded gently, agreeing with this point, and to be honest, she was also very curious to know the results of her training of Flame.

After the meal, Flame found Loki.

"Updating ability stats, right? Okay, okay, we'll update them for you."

Having watched several scenes of Flame being brutally beaten by Ais over the past few days, Loki, in a very good mood, agreed to Flame's request without the slightest hesitation.

Inside the room, Loki prepared the equipment needed to update his abilities, then patted the stool in front of him, gesturing for Flame to sit down.

Flame took off his shirt, revealing his strong upper body built up with muscles. Since becoming an adventurer, his body has become more and more robust, and his recovery ability has also improved a lot. Even the scars left from previous battles have faded a lot.

Lieyan lowered his head and touched the huge scar on his side that ran almost through most of his upper body. It was the wound left from the most dangerous battle he had ever experienced with the Wraith Tiger Dragon, where he was pierced by the Wraith Tiger Dragon's tail blade.

This was the most serious injury he had ever suffered during a hunt; he almost died, but thankfully the cat cart came through.

"Alright, stop being so conceited. Your impressive physique won't attract me, but it might attract some god from that little dwarf's side. Let's look at your stats now."

After smoothly updating his stats, Loki casually patted Flame on the shoulder, then handed him a piece of parchment, his eyes smiling.

"Judging from the results, Flame, your stats have improved tremendously this time!"

Chapter 73: My title should also be Blazing Flame!

A lot of growth? How much qualifies as a lot?

Having obtained the parchment, Lie Yan muttered to himself, then without further ado, he turned his gaze directly to the parchment and gasped.

Wow—that's a lot...

Blazing Flame: LV·1

[Ability value]

Strength: E422→B705

Durability: G205→C630

Dexterity: C600 → C636

Agility: D581→C622

Magic: I15 → I20

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

"This……"

Flame's gaze shifted back and forth as his abilities increased, and he gasped repeatedly as he watched the numbers rise.

Strength increased by nearly 300, Endurance by 400, and Dexterity and Agility, while increasing less, still increased by 30-40 points each. Magic power remained negligible.

Calculated,

The combined growth of these four attributes exceeded 750!

Holy crap, 750!! In fact, three out of those four attributes have reached grade C, and the most outrageous one, strength, has even reached grade B!

This has only been three days of training!

Thinking about it carefully, it was nothing more than three of Ais's grueling morning training sessions that left him battered and bruised, plus many passionate battles with the Minotaur, a monster feast, and finally, yesterday's all-out Spartan training that lasted until night, which left him teetering on the brink of life and death countless times...

Ok……

...& ...& ...

Why is it that when talking about my training experience, I always feel like I've only grown 750 points, which seems a bit lacking...?

It must be my imagination!

Putting everything else aside, the speed and efficiency of this ability improvement alone can be said to have surpassed Bell's at this stage!

While it's true that if Bell were to undergo the same training, the results would likely be astonishing, with Ais's own training combined with Flame's training intensity, and three consecutive days of practice, it would be a shame if he didn't gain at least four thousand ability points, given the unwavering aspirations he carries on his back.

To put it bluntly, he might just break through the experience bar at level one and head straight for SSS...

Of course, it's more likely that Bell simply couldn't withstand the intensity of the training in the flames and died instantly.

If you put a blazing armor on a little rabbit like him now, he probably wouldn't even be able to walk, let alone undergo training.

Blazing Flame's foundation was so solid that even before becoming an adventurer, he had already reached the level of an ordinary LV2 adventurer with his physical body alone.

It can be said that the starting point of the blazing flames is the end point for most adventurers.

This may be one of the reasons why his attributes increased so quickly.

Because the power he possessed was inherently his.

Wait, doesn't that mean...?

As he thought about it, a strange feeling gradually crept into Lieyan's heart.

If we calculate it this way, wouldn't it be like he's a minor who inherited a huge fortune, possessing a mountain of treasure but unable to access it? This inheritance is like a trust fund, which gradually loosens the restrictions on his inheritance as he grows up...

Damn, that's really weird.

"How about it? Have you grown a lot?" Loki looked at Blaze with a smile. "And Blaze, you've already met the requirements for leveling up. You have the necessary ability levels and experience for higher levels. So, how about leveling up now?"

"I'd rather not upgrade; it's too fast, and it's not enough."

Coming to his senses, Lieyan shook his head.

Just kidding, his highest ability level is only B right now. Although he does meet the requirements for upgrading, upgrading now would not only be a waste of talent, but he would be out of his mind!

Let's not even talk about the fact that he hasn't yet felt the limit of his ability improvement, that is, the so-called barrier between LV1 and LV2 levels.

Considering that the experience gained before upgrading becomes potential stats that accompany adventurers throughout their lives, upgrading arbitrarily is essentially killing one's future abilities.

If you are capable of doing better, why not do it?

While he may desire to become stronger quickly, there's no need for him to skimp on that aspect.

Besides, how embarrassing would it be if word got out that he, a transmigrator, leveled up without even an S rank?

I’m all in disgrace!

"I knew you'd say that. The moment I saw you, I knew you were someone who couldn't stand being alone, and that you had some inexplicable persistence in your heart. But having persistence is a good thing, and you must keep it up in the future. If your original intention to become stronger changes, for better or for worse, all sorts of problems will always arise."

Loki glanced sideways at the flames with his seemingly all-seeing crimson eyes, then casually tossed himself onto the bed, sinking into the soft blankets.

It wasn't a guess, nor a thought, but a knowledge, and there was also a proverb that followed.

Loki always manages to show his divine nature in some strange and unusual places.

Well, most of the time Loki shows his lustful side.

Flame remained silent, then Loki spoke again:

"By the way, Flame, Finn and I discussed it. If you successfully level up later, we will mark you as a higher-level adventurer in the guild report. Remember this, and don't forget it later, or you might accidentally let it slip."

"Why?" Blazing Flame was slightly taken aback, her tone confused. "I registered as LV1 in the guild before, which means that after I leveled up, the guild leader wants to report that I'm LV3? Is that possible?"
