"The Dungeon. I...need to train more. So I can become stronger and be worthy of Aiz."

Godou looked up. The tower that marked the Dungeon's entrance loomed over him in the night sky. Then he looked down at Bell. "Aiz? You mean the sword girl? She's not that strong."

Bell stopped running and looked at him as though he'd said something sacrilegious. "What are you talking about? Aiz Wallenstein is the most talented adventurer in generations! She's got the fastest Level Up record!"

"Again," Godou said, rolling his eyes. "It's just a number."

"Found you."

The lone, raspy voice from above interrupted their conversation.

The werewolf, Bete, dropped down from the roof he was standing on, landing on the floor gracefully. "Oh, and you're here too, Tomato Loser. I suggest you beat it, I only want the chef."

"Go, Bell," Godou said calmly. "I'll handle this."

"But...but, you're not an adventurer, Godou! He'll destroy you! He's an executive of the Loki Familia, one of the strongest!"

"I'll be fine, Bell."

"No." The rookie adventurer stood in front of him protectively, pulling out a knife for defence. "I can't be a hero if I let an innocent civilian be bullied by an adventurer."

A hero, huh.

A fool's wish. But in the end, every great person he'd ever met had been a moron one way or another.

"Oi. You don't really think you can fight me, do you?" Bete asked Bell.

Godou could see the boy's arms quivering. His legs trembling. Sweat rolling down his brow. Yet he stood his ground. Goudou wondered if this was how Erica had seen him when he'd chosen to fight Verethragna all those years ago with nothing but a magical slab of stone.

Godou raised one hand, a habit he'd never actually managed to kick despite not having been a student for centuries. "Um. How bout we just call it a day. I mean, I still need to continue working, Bell here needs to train. And I'm sure a Level Six adventurer like you has got better things to do than to hunt down a simple chef."

"Yeah, right," Bete scoffed. "I was there that day when you stumbled out of the Dungeon. I know you're special somehow. Lady Loki wouldn't ask us to retrieve you if you weren't."

A resigned sigh escaped Godou's lips. What a pain in the ass. It seemed it didn't matter what world he was in, he was fated to get in trouble either way.

"Stand back, Bell." Godou pushed the rookie away as he stepped forward.

"Godou, He's Level Six. You can't-" A finger flick to his forehead sent Bell skidding a few feet back, shutting him up.

Bete immediately tensed up, pulling out a pair of twin daggers.

Godou closed his eyes. He had far more Authorities now than when he started, and while he could use almost all of them at will, he still found it right to recite the incantations whenever he could.

"Those that are evil, and those that are strong, fear me, for i have wings. For my wings will punish you for your curse. and those that are evil will not be able to touch me!"

He felt his body become weightless as the power of the Raptor, one of Verethragna's Ten Avatars, envelope him. Time slowed down as he casually walked towards Bete. He was surprised when he saw Bete's eyes tracking his movements with his hands slowly moving to react already.

Impressive. But still too slow.

He moved behind Bete. His attacks in this state carried little to no power, simply because his body had lost all its weight to deliver a strike. Satisfied, he deactivated the Raptor, and Bete turned with the force of a whirlwind in an attempt land an attack on him when time returned to normal.

Bete was fast. Probably faster than most human magicians and knights, but still nowhere as fast as a God. Godou saw through his attack instantly and reacted accordingly.

He dodged, leaning his body to the right and the blades swung past him harmlessly. Then he grabbed Bete by the shoulders and kneed him in the gut. Hard. A mixture of spit and blood spewed out of the werewolf's mouth as his body went limp, his dual blades clattering uselessly to the floor.

Bell made a terrified sound when Godou gently laid Bete's body on the ground, falling to the ground and landing on his butt. "You...you just beat him like that?" he sputtered out

.

"See, what did I tell you? Levels are just a number."
