Chapter 29: Tifa Lockhart
For today's summoning, Aiden had specially bathed and changed clothes to show his seriousness.
Under the gazes of Furina and Robin, Aiden took a deep breath and opened the system panel.
He focused his mind on the brilliant Intertwined Fate and selected [Summon].
The interface, identical to when he summoned Robin, unfolded before his eyes.
A meteor tore through the virtual night sky. Its light climbed from a plain blue, ascending all the way until it finally blossomed into a dazzling gold.
Another gold pull.
A golden magic circle expanded rapidly on the floor of the room. Intricate runes flowed, emitting a divine and majestic aura.
Soft yet blinding light filled the entire room. Fortunately, they had sealed all the cracks beforehand, so this strange brightness was not perceived by the outside world.
Within the light, a lithe figure slowly emerged.
When the light of the magic circle fully dissipated, a stunningly beautiful young woman with black hair and dark eyes stood quietly before the three of them.
She possessed an angelic face and a devilish figure. Her long, silky black hair hung to her waist like the finest silk.
"Tifa Lockhart. Nice to meet you."
The young woman smiled, her voice as clear and pleasant as spring water.
"Welcome to the Focalors Familia."
Aiden spoke first, his smile carrying sincere joy.
"Welcome, Tifa!"
Furina was so excited she pounced directly, grabbing Tifa's hand and dragging her toward her room.
"Go, go, go! I'll carve the Falna for you."
The joy of having a new family member made her forget that carving Falna required bloodletting.
Watching the two disappear behind the door, Robin walked up to Aiden and asked softly, "Do you know her?"
She knew that those Aiden summoned were existences from his distant memories.
"Of course I do."
The corners of Aiden's mouth rose uncontrollably, his eyes shining with the light of a dream come true.
"She is my childhood goddess, Tifa."
"Oh? Childhood goddess?"
Robin's eyes narrowed slightly. Light rippled in the depths of her lake-green eyes, her tone betraying neither joy nor anger.
Aiden's survival instinct maxed out instantly. He immediately turned around and performed an elegant hand-kissing gesture to Robin, a sincere smile on his face:
"Of course, Miss Robin, you are also my goddess."
Robin pulled her hand back grumpily, but a smile couldn't help but surface on her face.
Naturally, she was genuinely happy about the addition of a new companion.
This meant the effect of her skill [Tonal Resonance] would further improve, and the growth speed of the entire team would accelerate.
Soon, Furina and Tifa walked out of the room.
Tifa showed the parchment inscribed with her status to Aiden and Robin. The newly carved stats clearly floated on it.
She had no thought of keeping secrets, as if it were only natural.
For everyone present, there were no unspeakable secrets between them.
Even Tifa, who had just been summoned, naturally integrated into this absolute trust.
[Name]: Tifa Lockhart
[Race]: Human
[Level]: Lv.1
[Status]
Strength: I-0
Endurance: I-0
Dexterity: I-0
Agility: I-0
Magic: I-0
[Magic]
[Meteor Plume]
• Type: Enchantment Magic · Non-Attribute · Super-Short Chant
• Effect: Using a minimalist chant, wraps pure non-attribute magical energy around the limbs like the tail of a meteor, significantly strengthening martial arts attacks.
• Chant:[Shine]
[Skills]
[Fighting Spirit Liberation]
• Effect: Instantly liberates the life force and magic power hidden within the body, entering a state of comprehensive ability explosion.
[Battle Rhythm]
• Effect: As combat duration continues, gradually increases own attack speed and dexterity.
One Magic plus two Skills.
Such a starting configuration for a rookie adventurer who had just received Falna could no longer be described as merely excellent; it was luxurious.
One must know that the vast majority of adventurers were blank slates without any magic or skills when they became Level 1.
Even the Child of Prophecy, Bell Cranel, was like that in the beginning of the original work.
Some adventurers didn't have a single spell or skill even after growing into high-level existences.
This showed the rarity of magic and skills.
And Tifa's configuration was not only plentiful but also of extremely high quality. Each one fit perfectly with her positioning as a martial artist and possessed immense potential.
With a new companion, the atmosphere in the Focalors Familia became even livelier.
The original plan was to take Tifa to the Guild for adventurer registration today, then enter the Dungeon directly to let her adapt to the combat rhythm of this world as soon as possible.
However, a piece of not-so-good news caused Aiden to pause the original plan.
Early in the morning, a young huntress from the Artemis Familia came to their residence, bringing news that the Goddess was about to lead her Familia away from Orario.
The Artemis Familia was like this. Like the wind, they spent most of their time touring and hunting in the world outside Orario, guarding those forgotten corners.
Their stay in Orario was merely a short rest.
This time, their stay hadn't even lasted a week.
Orario was divided into eight large districts centered on Babel Tower, corresponding to eight magnificent city gates leading to the outside world.
Beneath one of these gates, Aiden and his group came to see off the Artemis Familia.
Under the tall gate arch, the members of the Artemis Familia were making final preparations.
Their gear was simple and practical. They carried longbows on their backs, quivers and short knives at their waists, and wore the determination of hunters on their faces.
Seeing the entire Focalors Familia arrive, especially seeing the newly joined Tifa, a gratified smile appeared on Artemis's face.
This showed that her friend Furina and her Familia had gained a firm foothold in this complex city and were thriving.
"Artemis, you must write to me often."
Furina held Artemis's hand, her beautiful mismatched eyes full of reluctance.
These days, while Aiden and Robin were fighting in the Dungeon, the bored Furina would often visit this pure Goddess.
Two Gods with vastly different personalities hit it off unexpectedly well and forged a deep friendship.
After all, no one could truly dislike the innocent and romantic Furina.
Artemis stroked Furina's hair gently and promised softly that she would write down everything she saw in the outside world and mail it to her.
The atmosphere of parting always carried a hint of sadness, but on one side of the team, the Half-Elf girl Lante of the Artemis Familia kept winking at Aiden, her eyes full of hints.
