Danmachi: The Blind Swordsman

—---------------

Chapter-41

—---------------

"Hestia-sama, please accept me as your child in your familia!" Lili said this as she bowed 90° towards Hestia

After the guild, they return to the church since they both don't have much to do but when they reach church they find Lili waiting for them in front of the church

She explained that she had attempted to approach her familia god and persuade him, but her other high-level family members had forbidden her or any other level person like her from even coming close to her god's making room where that stayed 24×7 making wines

After trying that for days but getting no results, she came back here as she explained this to them and asked Hestia for another method

After hesitating for a while, she finally released a sigh as she told them there is another method where another God can forcibly imprint their own crest on the original making the original crest disappear but the problem is that process is very painful

Lili instantly agreed to say she was ready to endure it and plead with Hestia to do this but Hestia unexpectedly refuses

"Even if you agreed that doesn't mean I will steal other God's children causally from them even if they don't care about their children," Hestia said with a troubled expression 

As she continues after a pause "*Sigh* But I can go to soma to discuss this"

"Really!?" Lili's eyes shone as she asked this very excitedly

"Yep, since I am goddess they can't stop me," Hestia said proudly as she folded her arms

"But is it really ok?" Yuno asked this from their side in a worried tone since if things were to go wrong then probably it would become worse for her too 

"Nah I am sure it will be fine since he doesn't care about anything besides making wines" Hestia replied with confidence

"Thank you very much Hestia-sama!?" Lili expressed her gratitude as she bowed down to her knees

"It's fine as an upright goddess I can at least do this much," She said as she stopped her and took her inside as yuno followed them

As they got inside the church after Hestia, yuno went directly to the kitchen to get Lili something to eat meanwhile Hestia quietly took out the first aid because Lili had bruises all over his body

Naaza had suffered a much more severe injury than Lili, as her entire arm had been detached. Consequently, Yuno's advanced observation haki failed to detect any injuries on Lili, who only had some bruises. Ultimately, it was only Hestia who was able to see the extent of Lili's injuries.

"Did they do it?" Hestia asked this in a low tone as she applied for medicine

Lili nodded her head as her body shook when the medicine touched her body

*Sigh*

As Hestia tended to her wounds and applied for medicine, she let out a weary sigh and couldn't help but think of Soma. Despite never having met him in person, she had heard so much about him

She heard Soma is infatuated with a passion for brewing wine and is rarely seen or interacts with anybody. Even Loki said in past that he is annoying and not someone easy to deal with

Despite everything, Hestia remains a goddess of kindness and compassion who cannot bear to see others suffer in her presence. Therefore, she makes the choice to offer her assistance. 

"Let's go tomorrow to Soma, alright?" Hestia said this while looking into her eyes, in response to her Lili again nodded her head 

In the kitchen… 

Yuno focuses on the system panel that appears in his mind, even though at first he didn't give it attention since Hestia was present and he didn't want to look weird in front of her:

...

He got a notification from the system when Hestia updated him to level 2 but he didn't check at that time because of Hestia afterwards he forgot about it due to a matter of guild 

'I am guessing it will be come reward for reaching level 2' With this thought in his mind, he chooses the 'unread message' option in his mind: 

[ Congratulations For Reaching the Next Level ]

[ Reward: Template Spin¹ ]

[ Accept ] [ Decline ]

'FINALLY!!!' Yuno exclaimed excitedly inwardly as he read this after all this was the first thing he got after receiving the system and as a result he got a blind Admiral template

He had been waiting for what felt like an eternity for a new template to arrive. He had grown tired of his current one, and its limited abilities no longer suited his needs. So when the notification finally appeared on his screen, he couldn't contain his excitement.

And with this 'template spin' reward, he will be granted a random template of any character, like the first time he got Blind Admiral

With any second delays, he chose the 'accept' option as the new screen popped out:

[ Template Spin ]¹

[ Description- A Lucky Spin feature enables a user to randomly obtain a template for any character within the system. The selection of the template is determined by a probability-based algorithm that is influenced solely by the level of luck the user possesses at the time of executing the spin. ]

[ Use Now ] [ Use Later ]

Yuno muttered to himself, pondering the concept of luck. In the outdated version of the system, there was no description provided, leaving him in the dark. However, upon reading the updated description, he realised that luck was a determining factor.

Because the previous time he directly got a template without any delay

"Well now at least I am getting a new template finally after so long," Yuno muttered to himself as he eagerly clicked on the notification. He waited impatiently as the template loaded, hoping that it would be exactly what he needed.

As the template finally materialised before him, Yuno couldn't help but feel a sense of relief wash over him. It looked promising, but he knew that its usefulness would ultimately depend on the abilities it provided.

Another screen pops out like a wheel with multiple characters with an arrow as it immediately starts spinning, after a while it stops at some shining character

[ Congratulations on getting the 'Kaname Tōsen' Template ]

'Kaname Tōsen? If I remember correctly then he is some villain in anime called Bleach!' Yuno exclaimed inwardly in excitement because he knows from his brother that Bleach mainly focuses on Soul Reapers and hollows

And not to mention Kaname Tōsen is one of the successful hollow-soul reaper hybrids and a powerful one at that

As for his story yuno heard he once was a good guy who always followed the path of justice but after that so-called justice let go of his best friend's killer without any punishment, because of this he chose the path of villain afterwards he joined Aizen

"But I heard for becoming a soul reaper, that person must be in the spiritual form" Yuno murmured as his face started to become pale while he continued inwardly 'Do I have to die then?'

He furrowed his brow and repeated to himself, 'I've already died once. I don't want to go through that again. I'm doing well in this life, and I'm happy with it.'

His worried expression conveyed the seriousness of his concerns. The memory of his past demise lingered in his mind, making him apprehensive about the possibility of a similar fate.

"Well it's too early for me to come to any conclusion," Yuno said in a low tone as he focused on the system panel again:

[ Name- Yuno ] 

[ User Talent (permanent)- Space Magic (beginner), ??? (locked), ??? (locked), ??? (locked), ??? (locked), ??? (locked), ??? (locked) ]

[ Skills (permanent)- Identification Lvl.1, Dimensional pocket Lvl.1 ]

[ Mana Pool- 100/100 ] (mana regeneration- 2MP/min)

[ Shop ]

[ Current template- Blind Admiral ] (Select)² 

[ Template progress- 75.0% ]

[ Abilities- Gravity, Advanced Observation Haki, Advanced Armament Haki, Advanced Conqueror Haki ]

[ Daily task- 100 push-ups, 10 km run and 1000 

vertical slashes ( completed ) ]

….

As he focuses on the new 'Select' option which has appeared on the system panel:

[ Available Templates: ]

[ Blind Admiral ] ( Currently Used ) 

[ Blind Shinigami ] ( New ) 

'Oh as I thought its name also changed to a title like the Blind Admiral' yuno thought this as yuno reminisced as he delved into a flashback of when he acquired the first template, originally named 'Issho', which he realised had undergone a name change and was now referred to as a title - the Blind Admiral, as he had suspected.

He chooses a new template, and he suddenly starts to get a painful headache as he kneels down on his knees while holding his head in between of this he starts to get many notifications in his head
