Chapter 59:Going to dungeon delve

Simon made light of a very big bomb as he was dragged by a physically imposing Rana along with two annoyed monster girls that had their massages abruptly stopped.

For his own part, it was actually pretty exciting. Dungeon delving was something he had never heard about before this point and the show both his monster girls put up made him want to try.

They moved out of the assessment zone back into the halls and after a trek, they arrived to a very unique scene.

Row after row of giant floating crystals, arranged in a very organized fashion.

These were larger than him by an order of magnitude and spinning midair while letting out a slight luminescent glow. That was not the only thing unique about them. Each had a marked area in the row where it was constantly arcing a form of magical electricity. Except every time it did so a tamer disappeared into the lightning or re-appeared from it. Scores of tamers were huddling the closest crystals while the number kept falling the further in they went towards the center.

"Ok! We are going to ease ourselves in by trying a tier 3 dungeon first. Before you ask, dungeons are divided into tiers from 1 to 7 with one being the weakest and 7 the strongest. It is generally the number of floors the dungeon has, the formula roughly works like 5 times the tier stacking additively."

Rana was being forward and explaining things to the boy before he could even voice his questions.

As a veteran who has been in this line of work for 30 years and counting, she had a general idea of how to deal with most tamers. Simon in her professional eye was an incredibly talented individual who was wet behind the ears and eager to learn.

He also seemed like he was a tamer with purpose, a rare trait in young tamers. Though by the general lost look he would sometimes give off, She had the feeling he was currently still trying to find his way.

This type of fellow tended to be very receptive to an authority figure. Since she qualified she had to try and get a taste of such an absurdly powerful newbie. She already knew he was blessed and her inner monster girl was already trying to shatter its chains and jumps his bones.

Her training, however, made sure she did not do anything untoward, but her instincts paid off as he agreed to make her his supervisor to fill out his roster.

With that out of the way, she had two options. Wait and slowly teach him how to do the dungeon before delving in, a slow and steady process. It was the safe one.

But her mouth watered thinking how he may taste like, to the point she threw caution to the wind despite her better sense and ask for a 'live demonstration' something he readily agreed.

He would of course do so as he was currently on the high of seeing his monster girls slaughter a pair of caged monster. And it also makes novices more likely to agree.

Even after stacking all of that the chances of a 'blessed' saying less was astronomically low so when he did give his okay she wanted to rush it just in case he changed his mind.

Simon had no idea the types of thoughts going through Rana's head. His head swiveled in every direction trying to take the sights in.

Something in the air here was electric and it pumped his blood with adrenaline, unknown to him or anyone really, both his eyes and bands had an imperceptible glow.

And Rana was answering his questions before he even had the chance to voice them which only added to the feeling of adventure.

"Alright, as a platinum grade the lowest tier sanctioned dungeon you are allowed to go in is tier 3 and that is what we are going to try. Also do you have an escape crystal? If not I heavily recommend you buy one. If you do not have the merit points I can pay for you but it will cost you a couple of feeding sessions."

Given the warning she had spouted Simon readily agreed.

"Pay for me."

Rana had a very very hard time trying to hide the lewd feral smile that threatened to take over her face but she did manage if only barely.

"Done. Also catch this."

A gem was flicked into his direction and his natural reflexes caught the thing.

He opened his palm to see the emerald monster gem that lay in his palm.

"What is this monster gem?"

"it is mine. You are going to need to attune it to yourself if you want to take me into the dungeon."

This was a thing Simon did learn about at home and as such had a wealth of knowledge on. With a thought, the he was attuned to it.

"Done."

Rana raised a red eyebrow.

"Done?"

"Yeah. I read up on monster gems and know my way around one."

Simon said simply, showing his lopsided growth.

Rana gave him a questioning look before shrugging getting down to her side of things.

"Alright. But some ground rules before we enter. First, my word is law, no matter what happens if I give you a command you follow it, I do not care if you have a better idea. If that is too much for you tell me now, failure to adhere to the supervisors rules puts a red mark on your rank which is very hard to remove. And you cant ascend to the next rank while you have it."

He gave her a serious nod imitated by Stella while Amy only tilted her head.

"Second, always do your research before entering a dungeon if you can. The one we are entering is a magic forest themed. What is a theme? The general type of monster girls and type of puzzles you may need to solve. Yes, a dungeon has puzzles but that is not relevant right now. The type of foes available are ambush-based monster girls who are proficient in magic. Both of your monster girls are able to very easily counter this, especially at the tier we are entering."

As she talked both passed the red line that encased every crystal, the arcs never went past this lines so Simon assumed it to be some sort of spatial distortion but no peculiar feeling washed over him. This made him think that the line was just the limit of the arc. But it was definitely magic though as it glowed when the four of them entered.

"Unless you are authorized you are not allowed to walk past the red line, otherwise a barrier will stop you. Since you are attuned to me you don't have to worry. But when your rank passes novice, you will have free reign on dungeons based on your grade. With that out of the way, time to jump in."

Simon was about to ask something when an arc of lightning struck them so fast that not even Amy or Stella could react, and with that all of them were sucked into the dungeon.
