"Looking at it this way, our team's configuration is very balanced."The Pallum Yuri said, "Warrior Niran as the vanguard, me the spearman as the midguard, Shirou as the rearguard, using the bow to support us while protecting the mage Lefiya in the rearguard, how about that."
No one had any objections, Yuri proposed the most reasonable formation.
Mia patted Raul's shoulder, "Then, I leave this child to you, make sure to bring the kids back safely."
"Leave it to me!" Raul forced his spirits up, giving a thumbs up in response.
Thus Shirou was ready for his first dungeon trip.
"Anyway, this guy would just go squander in the pleasure quarter if left idle, might as well have him guide newbies." Being said so by his companions and then assigned this task, although Raul is reluctant, he will definitely put in 100% effort to complete any task assigned by the captain.
Vanguard: Niran, Lv.1
Midguard: Yuri, Lv.1
Rearguard: Emiya Shirou & Lefiya, Lv.1
Supporter: Raul, Lv.3
And so, this adventurer team, or more accurately, newbie training team, composed of new members from various familias, was formed and set off for the dungeon.
Entering the relatively safe first floor of the dungeon from the entrance, Raul spoke, "As long as it's not an unsolvable danger, I won't intervene, except for Lefiya, you are all entering the dungeon for the first time, this adventure activity is mainly for training and teaching you about the dungeon."
Raul, ostensibly carrying a large bag, follows behind everyone as a supporter, but in reality, he's both a supporter and a guide.
Supporters are regular members of adventurer teams, usually the weakest in the team—often a dwarf, responsible for carrying equipment, medicine, and loot obtained in the dungeon.
Having an Lv.3 adventurer as a supporter for the first adventure is not just "top-tier familia" treatment, it should be "top-tier familia" "super newbie" treatment, in fact, Shirou is probably riding on someone else's coattails.
This adventure is organized and led by the Loki Familia, the real core protagonist is that Lv.1 elf girl who is about to level up, she probably has some special magic or skill, recognized as a super newbie with unlimited potential, hence assigned an Lv.3 high-ranking adventurer to guide and protect her.
It's just that the Loki Familia's captain, the [Brave] Finn known for his wisdom, thought to take this opportunity to have the next generation core of the familia establish good relations with newbies from friendly allied familias, hence planning this activity.
Not counting Raul, four newbies, one from the Loki Familia, two from the Ganesha Familia, and one from the Hostess of Fertility tavern, all three familias have first-class adventurers above Lv.5, with a total of nearly twenty top adventurers Though Hostess of Fertility is not a familia the core of the group is Mia Grand a retired Level. 6 adventurer. (Loki Familia seven, Ganesha Familia eleven, Hostess of Fertility one).
Emiya Shirou estimates that the two newbies from the Ganesha Familia probably also have special skills.
'Thinking about it this way, having Raul-senpai lead this newbie team, isn't it a bit cruel to this [High Novice]?'
"Although it's a bit strange coming from me now… supporters are important members of adventurer teams, there are some scum adventurers who bully supporters in the team by taking advantage of their strength… such behavior is absolutely suicidal." Raul said.
These newbies won't always have an Lv.3 supporter, first they need to understand the importance of supporters, the most important thing in the dungeon is logistics, never underestimate supporters who may seem low level and weak in combat.
"Then, you can further introduce yourselves, getting to know each other is very important for companions conquering the dungeon together, of course, also judge whether some information should be disclosed."
"I'll start." The pallum Yuri was very proactive, "I came to the labyrinth city Orario because I admire Finn-sama, my dream is to become a great adventurer like Finn-sama."
The Loki Familia's Captain [Brave] Finn's race is pallum, as the strongest pallum adventurer, he's also the pride of the entire race.
"Um, if you admire Captain Finn so much, why didn't you join the Loki Familia?" The Loki Familia's Lefiya asked the question everyone was curious about.
Yuri scratched his head,"Actually, I initially joined the Loki Familia… well, since we're all companions from friendly familias, I think it's trustworthy to be straightforward, I used to be a delivery man in a city, although it's a bit self-praising, I was the best delivery man in the entire city."
He spread his hands,"As a result, after receiving the God's Blessing, I obtained skills and magic that can only be activated in sunlight and within the city, so under Finn-sama's advice, I transferred to the Ganesha Familia."
Yuri has skills and magic, but they can't be used in the dungeon, so he really isn't suited for the Loki Familia which focuses on dungeon adventures, but is more suited for the Ganesha Familia which guards the city.
"That's how it is, so in the dungeon, I can't exert my full strength, but I'm somewhat confident in my spear skills."
However, Yuri is indeed honest enough, directly telling them about his skills and the conditions of his skills, this is due to the credibility brought by their respective familias.
Lefiya glanced at Raul, hesitated for a moment, then spoke,"My magic, the firepower is very high, the maximum can reach… Lv.3 level?"
"Ah?"
"So you're the real cheat character, an Lv.1 mage with Lv.3 output…no wonder the Loki Familia treasures you so much." Shirou said out loud.
In fact, Lefiya still hid a lot, she has an even more terrifying magic she didn't reveal, which is, under the premise that all adventurers have at most three magic slots, she has a special magic that allows her to learn all elf magic.
Others can have at most three magics, the strongest mage in the labyrinth city, also from the Loki Familia, the Lv.6 elf adventurer Riveria Ljos Alf, has developed three-stage usage methods for all three of her magics, equivalent to having nine magics, hence her title [Nine Hells].
And Lefiya, theoretically she can use hundreds or thousands of magics.
"I'm actually more skilled in swordsmanship." Shirou knew that the projection magic couldn't be hidden, so he admitted frankly.
"Though I didn't have falna, I have a magic that can project weapons, so I've practiced archery as well." After hours of training, Shirou is more than confident in his archery as well.
He looked at Lefiya "I'll protect the rear of the team, and won't let any enemies get close to you."
The elf girl was momentarily stunned,"Um, thank you..."
Shirou's statement was logical and aligned with his tactical position, but considering the difference in their status as blessed adventurer and a non-blessed adventurer, Lefiya actually felt a bit dismissive inside.
The pallum, Yuri opened his mouth wide, stunned for a moment "Alright, a mage with super-area firepower, an archer with unlimited arrows, and you... we're from the same familia."
"Ah, I'm just ordinary." The cow-kin Niran said somewhat embarrassedly, "I just have particularly high endurance stats, a skill that increases attributes after being injured, and a skill that restores stamina and heals wounds."
"..."
Indeed, very ordinary... not really. Skills like [Rage] that increase attributes after injury and [Recovery] skills are relatively common, but having them together isn't as simple as one plus one, especially since this girl is from the cow-kin tribe, known for their strong bodies, high health, and defense.
"...Alright, I understand." Yuri thought for a moment, "My only magic can only be used in cities or streets, consumes a lot of mana, and briefly grants a transcendent view from the sky. Although this magic can't be used in the dungeon, I've trained myself to have confidence in my spatial sense and command abilities. If possible, I'd like to take command."
His admiration for Finn was genuine and the driving force behind him becoming an adventurer. Besides being Lv.6 [Brave], Finn was also famously known as the best legion commander in the labyrinth city.
Lefiya quipped, "A strategic-level magic with a transcendent view, I can only say you're not simple either... Is this the value of being the top delivery guy?"
Given this, everyone had no objections to Yuri taking command, he was indeed the most suitable.
While everyone was exchanging information, one person was severely hurt, and that was Raul, who had started this conversation.
Raul: 'Please, stop showing off!'
These newcomers had a combined total of nine skills and magics, while Raul, as a dignified Lv.3, didn't even have a single magic or skill.
'I must quit, definitely quit, no more going to the pleasure street, save money to buy a Grimoire...' Raul made up his mind, though whether he could do it was another matter.
"Watch out, enemies!" Yuri suddenly shouted, startling Lefiya, who almost dropped her wand.
Niran immediately raised her sword and shield, followed by the sound of a bowstring twanging and the whistle of an arrow.
In the distance, a goblin that had pounced from around the corner was frozen in its attacking posture, with an arrow piercing its neck.
Then came continuous sounds of bowstrings twanging, arrows whistling, arrowheads piercing flesh, and monsters falling.
The first wave of enemies encountered by the rookie team, three goblins, were instantly wiped out.
Just like that the newbie adventurers rolled out their first day of dungeon trip.
As few days passed a strange rumors about Shirou's adventureing party were stared to circulate in upper floors of the dungeon.
Witness A : "If you see a team composed of a human archer, a cow-kin warrior, a pallum spearman, and an elf mage, if you don't want to die, you must avoid them."
Passerby A : "Ah? That scary? What level are they?"
Witness A : "I don't know what level they are, but Lv.3 [High Novice] Raul is their supporter."
Passerby B : "Ah! Isn't he a second class adventurer? Why is he acting as a babysitter?"
Witness B : "You don't know, whenever they saw a monster, they will fire magics and arrows, thrust their spear into the skulls of the monsters and send the monsters flying with a huge shield and [High Novice], he just smiles at the carnage and collect the drops and magic stones. What a frightening sight."
Passerby A&B : "Thanks for the tip. We will be careful."
These were discussion for the later time.
