Danmachi: The Blind Swordsman

Chapter- 44

—----------------

Next day… 

"*Yawn~*" Yuno yawned lazily, as he tried his best to stay awake and continued to pay attention to Hestia and lili who was currently eating the food with delighted expressions while they praised him continuously

Meanwhile, yuno forced himself to stay awake but it was not going well for him since he didn't sleep even for a minute

"Are you ok? Did you not sleep well last night?" Hestia stopped eating and asked this with concern on her face

Yuno didn't reply back, he just smiled and  started to eat his food but in reality, he was sweating since he knew lying would get him caught on the spot

Seeing this, Hestia showed a confused expression but she doesn't plan to interrogate him, so she also continues to eat like lili who is fully immersed in eating food

Yesterday yuno was using all of his abilities so he wasn't able to sleep, not to mention kidō itself has many varieties in it

From the knowledge yuno received yesterday,  he knows Kidō is divided into lower-level spells, middle-level spells, higher-level spells and forbidden spells

For now, he can only use low-level spells but it's not less since spells are also divided into three categories which are healing, binding and destruction

He tried to use each low-level spell which took more time than expected but it was worth it since he got a grasp of almost every low-level kidō spells

Since he got spiritual pressure of 'Kaname Tōsen', he didn't need to worry about running out of fuel

Even though his template progress was literally zero but again he was only using low-level spells, so he can literally spam spells back to back without any worry

But not a destruction category spell anymore since it's basically one hit kill as well and it also destroyed the monster magic stone 

As for binding and healing spells, he used every low-level spell of these both categories

On the 12th floor, there wasn't a single monster who was able to break any of his binding spells except for one monster which is known by Infant dragon

It is an infant dragon with a height of around 150 centimetres and more than four meters long.

It is a rare monster that is also considered the boss of the Upper Floors where a Monster Rex doesn't appear.

Even though that monster was able to break through his binding spell as well as it also angered the monster as it attacked yuno with all his might

That time hearing the roar of the infant dragon, yuno panicked since all the other monsters on the floor were not like this, not to mention the roar is simply was on another level compared to other monsters

Even though he was panicked, his body still somehow used shunpo itself and cut the monster's head by appearing behind the monster

All this happened subconsciously which Yuno considered the work of 'Master Swordsman' passive skill since other than that he couldn't think of another possible explanation for it

Not only this but from this he also got to know the limitation of his low-level binding spell well at least for now since this spell will also continue to become stronger as the template progress increases

And as for low-level healing spells, well he couldn't able find a good opportunity to use them since he never got injured in the first place 

And he is not a Maniac who will injure himself for the sake of the experiment but since he really wanna test this out

So he cut himself a little, as he expected a low-level healing spell patched that up in no time, so he couldn't about see the limit for it

{ A/N:- I guess this is what we call "Suffering from success" thing }

He also came to know maybe his Zanpakuto might be different from 'Kaname Tōsen' Zanpakuto because he was also able to know 'Kaname Tōsen' Zanpakuto's name from information he received in his mind 

But when he tried to call out the name of Zanpakuto, nothing happened which he felt weird after all from what he remembered soul reapers need to speak their true Zanpakuto name to activate their Shikai

So he tried to use his identification skill on the blade in the hope of knowing some information regarding this or seeing any changes in the Information but he got this:

[ Unnamed ]

[Single-Handed Sword (Upgraded) ]

[ Type- shikomizue ]

[ Quality- Growth ]

[ Grade- I ] ( XP:- 269/1000 ) 

[ Description- The last weapon made exclusively for yuno by an unknown master blacksmith as his last gift and later upgraded by the goddess of forging herself ]

[ Exchangeable- 100000 Units ]

Absolutely nothing changed, but he has some conclusions about why he failed to summon his Shikai

First of all, even though he received a template of 'Kaname Tōsen' but the skill didn't show anything regarding Zanpakuto in the information

Second, even though he named his sword 'Moonville' but still my skill is showing a blade name 'Unnamed'

So then maybe he needs to raise the grade of the sword to unlock the Shikai of 'Kaname Tōsen' or his Zanpakuto is totally different which means he somehow needs to connect to his inner world and meet his Zanpakuto as the main character of bleach did at his training

But one thing is for sure if his Zanpakuto is still different then his all other locked abilities will be very different from the original 'Kaname Tōsen' because all of those abilities are linked to user Zanpakuto

He won't know if it's a good thing or bad thing since he didnt know whether his Zanpakuto will be stronger or weaker, which makes it a 50-50 chance 

But without any lead to begin, he can only put all of his hope into increasing his grade which might lead him to some answers

And to raise the blade grade, he needs to gather XP which is quite difficult because even though he killed so many monsters still only reaches 269 even after killing an infant dragon

The main thing is that he doesn't know how XP increases, maybe he could be wrong but he was surely killing stronger monsters or any rare monsters help him to increase XP

To check this theory, he decided to hunt a rare monster like an infant dragon for that he increased his range of spiritual sense as well as his advanced observation haki but alas on the entire floor he wasn't able to find even a single infant dragon

 

So he gave up and decided to come back to church since at that time it was  already near morning, not to mention he had to climb the dungeon to surface back

He was barely able to make it back to church before morning, and as a result, he got no sleep

But at least he got improvement in exchange for his sleep:

[ 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 Shinigami ] (Select)² 

[ Template progress- 3.24% ]

[ Abilities- Gravity, Advanced Observation Haki, Advanced Armament Haki, Advanced Conqueror Haki, Kidō Expert (Beginner), Shunpo (Beginner), Master Swordsman, Descorrer (locked), Shikai (locked), Bankai (locked), Resurrecciôn (locked), Hollowfication (locked) ]

[ Daily task- 1000 push-ups, 100 km run and 10000 slashes (Incomplete) ]

…..

At that time when the day task got refreshed, yuno noticed that his daily task increased but it wasn't any problem for him since he had already done this number before not to mention his run and slashes were already near completion in the dungeon

As well as this is   his secondary priority at that time, his main priority at that time was to reach the church where he focused on going back in that time

Now back to the present time…

After eating breakfast, they were ready to head out to Soma familia even Hestia told Lili it was okay to not go with them since Hestia could see that she was shivering

But even though lili is scared, she still insists on coming with them saying that this is she really at least wants to be with them 

Seeing her stubborn like  this, Hestia sighed and agreed as they all went out towards the soma familia but she wanted to avoid any confit that might cause some war game

Which Hestia wants to avoid considering the fact she only has one child who only recently became level 2

Even though she considered yuno as one genius in thousands but still hestia thinks that yuno cant overcome numbers

As well as she doesn't believe that yuno will be able to fight against other adventures as well as those monsters 

Even though Soma Familia doesn't have any adventurers higher than level 2 but still they have experienced level 2 adventurer and several other level 1 adventurer

So Hestia planned to have a 'good' talk with Soma and planned to sort this matter with peace

Soma familia residence is comprised of multiple buildings including a storehouse, breweries, and several watchtowers

When they reached it, really didn't find any other  adventurers there rather there was a guard at the main gate of a building
