As Bell walked towards the church he saw the sun setting on the horizon. Bell Felt great as he had just completed what he thought was the first hurdle to become an adventurer.
Entering the church them the basement bell noticed that Goddess Hestia wasn't there and a note was on the table.
Reading it, he found out that it was written by the Goddess telling him that she was gone to work and would reach home a bit late.
Feeling relieved bell picked up his status sheet and sat down on the sofa. Reading his spell bell recalled what his advisor had told him. That mages require a party to actually start adventuring. As he didn't have anyone he knew who was an adventurer bell thought it would be best for him to memorize the incantation of his spell.
He knew that he had to make connections and build a party if he wanted to succeed as an adventurer, but the thought of approaching strangers and asking for their help made him uneasy. He had always been a shy and introverted person, and the idea of socializing with strangers was not something that came naturally to him.
But Bell was determined to make it work. So the first thing he decided to do was memorize the incantation to his spell, although the didn't know the full effects of the spell he felt it would be great for him.
Bell closed his eyes and recited the incantation in his mind again and again for over an hour.
As he finished his training bell heard a door opening and closing as he heard a familiar voice. "Bell I'm home!"
It was Goddess Hestia who had just returned from work. As she appeared from the staircase with a bag in hand she looked at bell with biggest grin and said. "I have two suprise for you."
Bell immediately stood up and greated his Goddess with a smile. "Hello Goddess how was your work?"
Goddess Hestia waved her hand and said. "It went well but look and what have I got." As she pulled out two potato looking thing from her bag.
"It's a Jagamaru-kun from my stand.". Goddess Hestia exclaimed.
Thanking Goddess Hestia as he ate the Jagamaru-kun while also telling her about the problem he currently faced.
As Goddess Hestia listened carefully she nodded and said. "That's my second suprise I have found a person for the party and someone who can help you."
Bell's eyes widened in surprise. "Really? Who is it?" he asked eagerly.
Goddess Hestia smiled. "His name is welf and he's a member of the Hephaestus's Famillia. He is also a skilled blacksmith and has agreed to join your party and help you."
Bell couldn't believe his luck. He had been so worried about finding someone to join his party, and now it seemed that the Goddess had brought someone to him. "Thank you, Goddess Hestia," he said gratefully. "When do I have to meet him?"
Goddess Hestia chuckled. "Tomorrow morning outside the dungeon."
Happy that he finally had a party member bell quickly ate his Jagamaru-kun and washed himself to go to sleep.
....
The next day bell made his way to the Babel tower with his staff in hand and wearing his normal clothes as he didn't have enough money to buy armour or a book on magic as his advisor had recommended him.
As reached the tower bell stood close to the dungeon where most adventurer stood waiting for there adventurers to start. Waiting there bell suddenly started to feel nervous as he had. Never met welf
But he knew that he had to be brave and take this opportunity.
As bell stood there he felt a tap on his shoulder looking where the tap came From bell noticed a young man with spiky red hair wearing a dark blue long-sleeve shirt under a black coat and tanned trousers and brown boots with a big greatsword.
"Hi, are you welf?" Bell asked nervously.
The man nodded. "Yes, I am. You must be Bell, right?"
Bell nodded. "Yes, that's me. It's nice to meet you, Welf."
Welf smiled. "Nice to meet you too, Bell. I've heard a lot about you from Goddess Hestia. She told me that you're a mage and that you're looking for someone to join your party."
Bell blushed. "Yes, that's right. I'm still new to this whole adventuring thing, and I need all the help I can get."
Welf laughed. "Don't worry, I'm here to help you. I've been an adventurer for a while now, so I know a thing or two about fighting monsters."
Bell smiled gratefully. "Thank you, welf. I'm really glad that you're joining the party."
Welf shrugged. "It's no big deal. I also needed a party, since I left my last party."
Bell nodded. "I am happy that you will help me and am willing for you to teach me."
Welf smiled. "Well, I'm happy to help you. But let's not waste any more time. We have work to do."
Bell nodded eagerly. He was excited to finally start his adventure and learn from welf. As they walked towards the dungeon.
As they entered the first floor welf smiled and said. "This the first floor and we will be mostly hunt here for today. It's called the beginners road as most amount of people are here. since it still early most wouldn't have arrived yet."
"Your advisor should have told you that this floor has goblins and kobolds spwan. Oh and don't underestimate them since that is what causes most adventurer to be injured."
Welf led the way, scanning the area as they walked. Bell followed closely behind, his staff at the ready. After walking for a few minutes, they came across a group of goblins.
Welf gestured for Bell to stay back as he approached the goblins. He unsheathed his greatsword, and the goblins charged towards him. Welf skillfully dodged their attacks and struck back, slicing through the goblins with ease.
As he fought another group of goblins spwaned feeling that welf wouldn't be able to handle them bell instantly started to chant.
Oh lord of lightning and thunder I beseech thee.
Hear my prayer and Guide thy lightning.
Descend like thunder.
Pirce those who stand in my way.
Divine judgement
As bell recited the incantation he felt a surge of power through his body and heard crackling of lightning. With a sudden burst of thunder, a bolt of lightning shoots down from his staff. The power manifesting as a brilliant beam of crackling energy that shot forth towards his enemies. It pierced through their defenses and engulfed them in a blinding, searing light. As the lightning fades, he was left standing amidst the smoldering remains of his foes, their bodies charred and lifeless. He felt a sense of awe and reverence for the power that he had summoned, and a newfound confidence in his ability to overcome any obstacle that may stand in your way.
After the battle, Welf turned to Bell and said, "You did well staying back there. Your job as a mage is to stay back and cast spells from a distance. It's important to let the frontliners handle close combat."
Bell nodded, taking note of Welf's advice. He knew that he needed to be careful in battle, especially since he didn't have any armor.
As they continued through the dungeon, Bell began to cast his spell from a distance.
Hours passed as they battled through the dungeon and bell started to feel a tired and his head hurt.
As they approached the end of the first floor, Welf turned to Bell and said, "You did well today bell."
Holding the bag of magic stones they had collected they turned back and left the dungeon. Walking towards the guild bell and welf talked to each other about what they did and what made bell come to Orario but before he could ask welf the same question they had reached the guild.
They quickly exchanged the magic stones for valis earning about 5,000 valis and then splitting them in half.
That night his Goddess updated his status.
