Nero, The Legendary Hunter

- On floor 3 -

Nero didn't say what would happen, which was a big shock to Yui to see the penguins kneel down and not dare attack.

"Wow!" She let out a gasp of surprise as she looked at what was happening on front of her. But seeing that everyone started killing, she didn't stand still and started killing too.

'Why do they look particularly happy to be killed by Nero?' Yui, even while killing the penguins, was guarded against them. She looked in Nero's direction and saw that the penguins acted differently when she was the one who killed them...

At the same speed as before, or even faster, the penguins were wiped out.

"Nero, you are amazing! Even penguins know how to recognize your beauty. Mm, as expected, Nero is the best," Yui said in her voice, cold and soft at the same time, and let out a charming giggle.

"Of course Nero is the best." At this point, Choko agreed perhaps for the first time with Yui. "Yes, Nero is the most beautiful," Choko added shortly afterward.

"The strongest. Mm, Nero is just amazing!" Yui turned while speaking as if to say that or demonstrate that in the whole world Nero was the best.

"Okay, you two are starting to embarrass me. Let's go to floor 4." Nero was a little flushed, which made them both stop what they were saying, not because Nero asked, but because Nero flushed was simply unique! The two hearts pounded. They grabbed Nero's arms and went to the 4th floor.

'...Is this a different kind of torture?' Jair had a forced smile. He saw his sister with Breno, Nero with two beautiful girls, and Honda and Jingu's weird relationship.

'Sigh~, I need to think about dolphins. Yes, dolphins are cute and intelligent. They even say they are more intelligent than humans. Yes, dolphins are the best.' Jair kept thinking about dolphins until he got to floor 4. His eyes and mind weren't in the dungeon. Love was in the air; even the gorillas seemed in love. Dammit, he was feeling lonely...

Getting to the 4th floor didn't help; it was all bulls and cows... and they became loving toward each other with Nero's arrival.

'Yes, this is definitely happening to torture me. Dammit, I'm going to kill them!' Jair lost his head for a moment, and with his sword, he started cutting the heads off the bulls and cows, and coincidentally, they were the ones being loving. Mm, this was not at all because of rancor and envy at being alone; he chose randomly. Mm, yes, he convinced himself that was it.

'Has he lost it for good?' Jana shook her head and started throwing fireballs, not caring that her brother's emotional state was very sad from being the only single dog in the group. Well there were Jingu and Honda, but as Jair thought before, they had a strange relationship.

Not that Jair hadn't tried to approach the two. Both Jingu and Honda were beautiful, but they didn't show any kind of interest in him either, although they were friendly.

Returning to the fight, with Jair's fighting spirit on fire, Breno was also competitive and started killing fast, though for different reasons. Soon all bulls and cows died.

'May the couples rest in peace~' Jair prayed for their souls after killing them.

Jana sighed and began to really worry about her brother's state of health. Now he was even praying. In fact, had he ever prayed in his life before? Even Jana had never seen her brother act so strange; if he were a woman, she would have thought he was menstruating!

On the 5th floor, the Lizardmen at least weren't loving. This slightly helped Jair's mental health, and he gave a sigh of relief.

'Should I get a girlfriend?' Jair thought while killing the Lizardmen. Before, he hadn't thought much about it. He just wanted to be strong and be a good Hunter, but these thoughts of wanting to date someone were driving him crazy. He was even taking more time in the shower...

Before he knew it, he was channeling magic through his sword, something he'd always wanted to do, and he was now doing it unconsciously, and suddenly his Hunter Card glowed the instant he wanted to collect the bodies of the Lizardmen he'd killed. At the same moment, he saw that he was analyzed by the Hunter Card.

'Did I get a new class all of a sudden?' Jair saw the new abilities as well as the class: Arcane Swordsman.

"Hahaha!" Suddenly he started laughing. All the envy he felt, and anger, shifted to happiness.

"Jair, talk to me. Don't be like that, are you okay?" Jana really started to worry about him. Why had he suddenly started laughing out of the blue? What happened?

Happy, Jair started to show the new class he'd been promoted to. "Look at this, I'm really good. I was promoted to Arcane Swordsman!" He didn't mind that everyone saw his abilities, and showed them to them all with a wide smile on his face.

Even Breno was left feeling betrayed, like he was losing. His competitive blood boiled, and he sighed when he saw that the Lizardman were all dead already.

'I need to try harder!' Breno took an oath. He was happy for Jair, but at the same time he wanted to surpass Jair, who was always his rival.

"Very good." Nero also praised the smiling Jair.

Looking at the damage Jair had done, Choko said, "Congratulations, but will you clean this up, will you? I don't need these broken bodies; it was you who killed them all anyway."

"The same, congratulations, and good luck." Yui was telling him to collect the remains of the Lizardman bodies. She had to do it before with a smaller amount, and it wasn't fun at all.

"..."

Jair felt helpless, but not discouraged. He hummed as he picked up the corpses, or at least the pieces that were left over and stored them in the Hunter Card.

"Done! Come on, come on, I want to go 20 more times!" Jair's blood was boiling with adrenaline; he was more excited than ever!

After that, they actually went another 20 times. As Yui was in the group, it was faster than usual, and they weren't all that tired, and they ended up going 4 more times to complete 25 times a day. After that, even Nero felt tired.

On the 5th floor, they were drinking water or potions to recover. They were sweating more than usual, however, even now, Jair was smiling. He didn't hide his happiness. The class he got was very good, and it gave him a lot of attack power when using magic sword attacks.

The best feeling was seeing Breno looking at him with envy. He chuckled internally but didn't dare laugh for the thousandth time blatantly or else he would be bombed by his sister.

'Is she really my sister?' There was a moment when Jair started to really doubt; did he get hit just because he made Breno jealous? 'Tsk, irrational woman who chooses her boyfriend over her brother!'

Even though he was now stronger than Jana, he wouldn't attack his sister. He respected her a lot, and although he fought with her occasionally, he had never raised a hand to her.

Nero delivered the cores from level 6 to 11 monsters to the rest of the party, and the items they came with, as well as the coins. Seeing the absurd amount of Monster Core they got was enough to put a big smile on their faces.

After resting, they began to meditate, and Nero taught Yui how to do it as well. Afterward, Nero began training while waiting. She also managed to figure out how to use a rune, at least an explosive rune. It was a rune made of mana that exploded after 5 seconds.

'I'll still be able to use it on the arrows...' Nero was wanting to find the perfect time to use explosive rune arrows.

*Boooom!*

"..."

Everyone stopped meditating and looked at Nero. The sound was quite loud and they lost focus.

"I'm sorry, I was testing something," Nero apologized.

Yui said as she got up, "No, Nero, no need to apologize." Her voice was still cold, but much warmer when she spoke to Nero.

"That's true, degozaru," Jingu wouldn't blame Nero for training her techniques, and because of that, unintentionally hindering her meditation.

"Don't worry, we just stopped because we thought something serious happened, but since it was just you testing your technique, Nero, it's okay~" Honda chuckled, not caring.

"Nero, this isn't right. You help us so much. Why are we blaming yourself for something so simple?" Choko approached her and hugged her.

"Wait, I didn't think you would blame me, I just apologized because I went overboard. Don't take it so seriously." Nero shook her head and sighed.

"Oh, I was expecting that~" Jana smiled, "So I am going back to meditating without caring what happened and I'll silently accept the apology, as I knew it was a mere formality."

"..."

There were times when Jana surprised everyone, but it was true, among them, maybe she was the smartest. No wonder she was a magician. The only thing that made her not look so smart was her lack of knowledge. She had limited knowledge, but that was because she didn't have access to very many books, etc. She was actually quite smart.
