Rengoku stepped forward, his haori blazing with divine energy. "Each skill represents a path of growth! A true hero adapts, learns, and becomes more!"
"UMAI!" he added for emphasis, causing several Guild workers to jump.
Gyomei's quiet presence contrasted with Rengoku's enthusiasm. "Strength is not just in power," he said softly, "but in understanding. Bell has begun to understand."

As they completed the registration, whispers spread through the Guild. Something extraordinary was happening - a new hero was emerging in Orario.
[Detailed Guild Reaction Intensifying]
[Special Analysis Protocol Active]
The whispers among the Guild workers grew more intense. One veteran adventurer, a battle-scarred man with multiple scars, approached Bell.
"Those skills," he said, studying Bell's status sheet. "They're unlike anything I've seen in decades of adventuring."
[Adventurer Interaction Triggered]
• Veteran Recognition
• Skill Curiosity
• Potential Mentorship Interest
Eina began a more detailed interview, her professional demeanour mixing with genuine scientific curiosity. "Each skill seems to be a complete system. The [Hero's Complete Breathing] - can you demonstrate its fundamental principles?"
Bell looked to Rengoku and Gyomei, who nodded encouragingly.
[Skill Demonstration Available]
[Cost: 1 Pull Token]
[Effect: Live Technique Showcase]
As Bell began to move, the entire Guildhall seemed to hold its breath. His stance shifted—part flame technique from Rengoku, part stone foundation from Gyomei—with a wind-like fluidity that defied traditional combat styles.
[Skill Demonstration: Success]
• Combat Efficiency: +200%

• Veteran Adventurers: Respectful Curiosity
"The multi-elemental adaptation," Eina continued her analysis, "suggests you can instantaneously adjust to different combat environments. How did you develop this?"
[Special Dialogue Options]

[Breakthrough Moment Detected]
[Skill Evolution Potential: Unlocked]
[New Quest Available: Hero's Philosophical Path]

Rengoku's final declaration echoed through the hall: "UMAI! Today, a hero's true journey begins!"
[Gacha System Security Update]
[Divine Authorisation Protocol]
[Exclusive Access: Hestia Only]
As the Guild registration continued, a subtle change occurred in the background of reality. The gacha system's interface, previously visible to multiple entities, began to shift and transform.

A new notification appeared only to me:
[System Protection Activated]
[Unauthorised Viewing Attempts: Blocked]
[Divine Signature: Hestia Unique]
"That's strange," Eina muttered, blinking at the status sheet. "Some of these details seem... fuzzy."
Rengoku and Gyomei exchanged a knowing look. They could sense something had changed, but couldn't quite define what.
[Special Authorisation Protocol]
• Temporary Viewing Tokens Available
• Can Grant Limited Access

[Dungeon Expedition Preparation]
[Location: Babel Tower Entrance]
[Participants:]
• Bell Cranel
• Ais Wallenstein
• Lefiya Viridis
• Rengoku Kyojuro
• Gyomei Himejima
As they prepared to enter the dungeon, Bell noticed Ais and Lefiya studying him with intense curiosity. Rengoku and Gyomei stood nearby, ready to observe.
"Your status," Ais said directly, "feels different from before."
[Explanation Protocol Activated]
[System Condition Reveal: Limited]
Bell took a deep breath. "Our goddess has implemented a special protection system. It's like... a sacred training ground that only certain people can fully see."
Lefiya's magical senses tingled. "Protection? From what?"
[Simplified Explanation Available]
• Prevent unauthorised skill extraction
• Protect cross-world skill integration

Bell demonstrated his new [Hero's Complete Breathing], combining elements from Rengoku's flame technique, Gyomei's stone foundation, and his wind-like adaptability.
[Skill Demonstration: Partial Reveal]
• Combat Efficiency: Visible

• Mentor Observation: Active
"Fascinating," Lefiya breathed, her magical senses detecting the unique energy. "It's like your skills are... protected by a divine veil."
[Dungeon Entry Triggered]
[Special Observation Mode: Active]
[Mentor Guidance: Maximum]
As they descended into the dungeon, multiple notification windows appeared - visible only to those with limited access:
[Dungeon Exploration Protocol]
• Skill Development Monitoring
• Cross-World Technique Integration
• Potential Growth Opportunities
• Protected Skill Observation
Rengoku laughed. "UMAI! The dungeon itself cannot fully see our hero's true potential!"
[Dungeon Exploration]
[Floor 10-15 Mixed Terrain]
[Combat Potential: Maximum]
The first monsters appeared - a group of kobold warriors, their savage movements typical of mid-level dungeon inhabitants. But today would be different.
[Combat Initialisation]
• Bell's Positioning: Front Line
• Ais: Aerial Support
• Lefiya: Magical Enhancement
• Rengoku: Combat Observation
• Gyomei: Foundational Guidance
Bell moved first, his [Hero's Complete Breathing] creating a unique combat flow. Where traditional adventurers would see a simple attack, his movement became a dance of elemental integration.
[Skill Demonstration: Combat Form]
• Flame Technique: Rengoku's Impact
• Stone Foundation: Gyomei's Stability
• Wind Adaptation: Personal Innovation
The first kobold charged. Bell's knife seemed to blur, flame-like energy tracing precise wind currents, while stone-like stability anchored his movements.
[Critical Hit Sequence]
• First Kobold: Neutralised
• Technique Efficiency: 300%
• Skill Evolution: Potential Detected
"UMAI!" Rengoku shouted. "See how he adapts! The breathing technique is not just a skill - it's a way of perceiving combat!"
Ais watched with growing interest. Her wind techniques found a new resonance with Bell's developing style. "Your movement," she said, "it's changing the very nature of combat."
Lefiya's magical senses went into overdrive. The magical circles around Bell began to shift, responding to his breathing technique in ways she'd never seen before.
[Magical Integration Detected]
• Spell Efficiency: Increased
• Chanting Time: Reduced
• Elemental Compatibility: Enhanced
Gyomei's quiet observation carried weight. "Strength is not just in power," he noted, "but in understanding. Bell comprehends the rhythm of combat."
As they progressed deeper, the monsters became more challenging. A minotaur appeared - a beast that would typically require a high-level party.
[Unique Encounter]
[Minotaur: Floor 15 Boss]
[Combat Potential Assessment]
Bell's stance changed. Rengoku's flame technique merged with Gyomei's stone foundation, creating a defensive posture that seemed to absorb and redirect the minotaur's massive strength.
[Breakthrough Moment]
[Skill Evolution: Potential Maximum]
• [Hero's Complete Breathing] Advancing
• Multi-Elemental Defence Activated
• Mentor Technique Integration: 85%
"Look!" Lefiya pointed. The magical circles around Bell had become a living defence, responding to his breathing, redirecting the minotaur's attacks with minimal movement.
Rengoku's laughter echoed through the dungeon. "UMAI! This is the true path of a hero! Not just fighting, but understanding!"
[Dungeon Exploration Results]
• Monsters Defeated: 37
• Skill Evolution: Confirmed
• Mentor Observation: Maximum Potential
• Unique Combat Style: Emerging
Bell looked different as they emerged from the dungeon—stronger and more centred. The breathing techniques had become more than a skill—they were a combat philosophy.
[Skill Evolution: Ais and Lefiya]
[Special Training Integration Active]
As Bell's combat style drew attention, Ais and Lefiya began demonstrating their unique developments.
[Ais Wallenstein: Wind-Lightning Fusion]
• Previous Style: Pure Wind Technique
• New Integration: Lightning Resonance
• Mentor Influence: Cross-World Enhancement
Her sword began to move differently. Instead of pure wind control, lightning now danced along the blade's edge, creating a hybrid technique that defied conventional magic.
[Skill Demonstration]
• Wind Blade Technique Enhanced
• Lightning Speed Integration
• Elemental Synchronisation: Maximum
"Observe," Ais told Lefiya, her sword tracing patterns that combined wind's fluidity with lightning's precision.
[Lefiya Viridis: Magical Breathing Prototype]
• Base: Elven Concurrent Chanting
• New Integration: Breathing Technique Adaptation
• Magical Circle Evolution
Lefiya's magical circles began to pulse with a rhythm matching her breathing techniques. Her chants became shorter and more precise, and magical energy responded to her breath control.
[Magical Breathing: First Form]
• Chanting Time Reduced: 60%
• Spell Efficiency: Increased 75%
• Elemental Compatibility: Enhanced
A group of enormous monsters approached - perfect for demonstration.
[Combat Initialisation]
• Ais: Wind-Lightning Assault
• Lefiya: Magical Breathing Support
• Synergy Potential: Maximum
Ais moved first, her sword creating wind corridors that channelled lightning. Each strike became a complex dance of elemental control. Where traditional wind magic would create simple currents, her technique now built intricate elemental pathways.
[Critical Skill Evolution]
• [Tempest Blade] Advancing
• Lightning Wind Integration
• Mentor Technique Influence: Active
Lefiya's magical support transformed. Her spells no longer required long chants. Instead, she breathed in specific patterns, magical circles forming and collapsing in rhythm with her breath.
"This is different," she murmured, a spell forming almost instantaneously. "It's like the magic is breathing with me."
[Magical Breathing Breakthrough]
• Spell Formation: Instantaneous
• Elemental Control: Precise
• Chanting Eliminated: Potential Detected
Rengoku watched with burning excitement. "UMAI! See how they adapt! Not just copying, but creating something new!"
Gyomei nodded. "True growth comes from understanding, not imitation."
The monsters didn't stand a chance. Ais's wind-lightning technique cut through them like living light, while Lefiya's magical breathing turned complex spells into instantaneous bursts of elemental power.
[Skill Demonstration Results]
• Monsters Defeated: 25
• Skill Evolution: Confirmed
• Unique Combat Style: Emerging
• Mentor Observation: Maximum Potential
As they continued deeper into the dungeon, it became clear that something revolutionary was happening—not just to Bell but to their entire approach to combat.
[Advanced Dungeon Exploration]
[Floor 16-20: Complex Terrain]
[Combat Evolution: Maximum Potential]
As they descended deeper, the dungeon's challenges became more intricate. The monsters here required not just strength, but an adaptive strategy.
[New Encounter Type]
• Elemental Variant Monsters
• Advanced Defensive Capabilities
• Terrain-Adaptive Combat Required
A group of stone-skinned salamanders emerged, their rocky exterior typically resistant to most magical and physical attacks. This would be the perfect test of their new techniques.
[Combat Strategy Session]
Ais: "These require precise elemental manipulation."
Lefiya: "My magical breathing might help break their defences."
Bell: "Let's combine our techniques."
[Synchronised Attack Formation]
• Bell: Multi-Elemental Assault
• Ais: Wind-Lightning Precision Strike
• Lefiya: Magical Breathing Amplification
Bell moved first, creating a unique approach with his [Hero's Complete Breathing]. His knife traced patterns that combined Rengoku's flame technique with Gyomei's stone-breaking precision.
[Critical Technique Development]
• Flame-Stone Penetration Strike
• Elemental Resonance: Maximum
• Defence Penetration: 85%
Ais followed, her wind-lightning technique creating corridors that guided Bell's attack. Where traditional methods would fail, their synchronised approach found the salamanders' weak points.
[Wind-Lightning Guidance System]
• Elemental Pathfinding
• Attack Redirection
• Precision Targeting: 95%
Lefiya's magical breathing reached a new level. Her spells no longer just supported - they became an integral part of the attack pattern.
[Magical Breathing: Advanced Form]
• Spell Integration with Physical Techniques
• Instantaneous Elemental Conversion
• Synergy Amplification: 200%
"UMAI!" Rengoku shouted. "See how they create a living combat system!"
Gyomei's observation was profound: "Observe how they become more than individual fighters—they are a single, adaptive entity."
The salamanders didn't stand a chance. Their stone defences crumbled under the precisely coordinated assault, each attack building upon the last in a symphony of elemental mastery.
[Encounter Results]
• Monsters Defeated: 15
• Technique Efficiency: 350%
• Skill Evolution: Confirmed
• Unique Combination Style: Emerging
As they continued, a new challenge presented itself - a floor boss that combined multiple elemental resistances, a monster that would typically require a whole party of high-level adventurers.
[Boss Encounter Preparation]
• Bell: Multi-Elemental Defence
• Ais: Precision Strike Coordination
• Lefiya: Magical Amplification
• Mentors: Strategic Observation
Rengoku's flames burned with excitement. "This is where true heroes are forged! Not by individual strength, but by understanding and adaptation!"
[Mentor Demonstration Protocol]
[Special Combat Showcase]
[Unique Skill Integration]
As the group prepared for the boss encounter, Rengoku and Gyomei exchanged a knowing look. "It's time," Rengoku declared, "to show them true mastery!"
[Rengoku Kyojuro: Flame Hashira Technique]
• First Form: Flame Breath
• Special Condition: Divine Blessing Active
• Orario Adaptation: Maximum
Rengoku stepped forward, his entire being transforming. Flames erupted around him, unlike any magical fire they'd seen. Each flame seemed to have purpose, intelligence, and a will.
[Flame Breathing: Absolute Technique]
• Elemental Control: Beyond Magical Limits
• Defensive and Offensive Capabilities
• Terrain Transformation Potential
"UMAI!" He shouted, and the flames responded. They didn't just burn - they danced, calculated, and moved with surgical precision. The dungeon floor itself seemed to respond to his breathing.
[Gyomei Himejima: Stone Pillar Technique]
• Foundational Mastery
• Sensory Perception: Divine Level
• Adaptive Defence System
Gyomei's approach was entirely different. Where Rengoku was explosive energy, Gyomei was an immovable foundation. His prayer beads began to resonate with the dungeon's very stone, creating a symbiotic connection.
[Stone Breathing: Absolute Defence]
• Terrain Manipulation
• Sensory Extension
• Protective Barrier Generation
The boss monster appeared - a chimeric creature with multiple elemental resistances. Typically, such a monster would require a complete high-level party to defeat.
Rengoku moved first. His flames created intricate pathways, each movement a perfect geometric pattern that seemed to predict and counter the monster's attacks before they happened.
[Flame Breathing: Ninth Form]
• Unique Technique: Flame Calculation
• Attack Prediction: 99%
• Terrain Modification: Active
Gyomei stood perfectly still, his connection to the stone creating a defensive barrier that seemed to absorb and redirect the monster's attacks. His perception extended beyond physical limits, sensing every potential movement.
[Stone Breathing: Sixth Form]
• Absolute Defensive Barrier
• Sensory Extension
• Terrain Resonance
Bell, Ais, and Lefiya watched in absolute amazement. This wasn't just combat—a complete understanding of combat as an art form and a philosophy of existence.
[Mentor Demonstration Results]
• Boss Monster: Neutralised
• Technique Efficiency: 500%
• Skill Demonstration: Maximum Potential
• Adaptive Combat: Redefined
"UMAI!" Rengoku laughed as the monster dissolved. "Combat is not about defeating an enemy. It's about understanding the very nature of conflict!"
Gyomei nodded silently, his wisdom speaking louder than words.
[Mentor Technique Analysis]
[Skill Integration: Maximum Potential]
[Psychological Impact: Critical]
The silence after their demonstration was profound. Bell, Ais, and Lefiya stood transformed, their understanding of combat fundamentally altered.
Lefiya spoke first, her magical senses overwhelmed. "It's not just about power," she whispered. "It's about understanding the very essence of combat. The flames, the stone - they're not just elements. They're... alive."
[Skill Perception Upgrade]
• Magical Comprehension: Enhanced
• Elemental Understanding: Deepened
• Combat Philosophy: Transformed
Bell stepped forward, his Hero's Essence resonating with the demonstration. "You didn't just fight," he said to Rengoku and Gyomei. "You communicated with the dungeon itself."
[Hero's Essence Resonance]
• Mentor Technique Absorption: Active
• Skill Potential: Expanding
• Combat Understanding: Evolving
Rengoku's laugh boomed through the dungeon. "UMAI! Now you begin to understand! Combat is a conversation with your enemy, environment, and yourself!"
Gyomei's gentle voice added depth to Rengoku's enthusiasm. "Every breath is a story. Every movement is a dialogue. Combat is not destruction—it is creation."
[Philosophical Combat Integration]
• Breathing as Communication
• Movement as Language
• Combat as Artistic Expression
Ais, typically stoic, showed rare emotion. Her wind techniques suddenly felt different—no longer just a method of attack but a form of expression. "The wind," she murmured, "is not just something I control. It's something I communicate with."
[Wind Technique Evolution]
• Elemental Communication
• Adaptive Response System
• Emotional Resonance: Activated
The dungeon itself seemed to respond to their newfound understanding. Magical circles formed spontaneously, responding to their combined energy - a testament to their integrated combat philosophy.
[Dungeon Response Protocol]
• Terrain Adaptation: Maximum
• Skill Resonance: Active
• Potential Path Generation: Unlocked
"But how?" Bell asked, his curiosity burning. "How do you see combat this way?"
[Mentor Wisdom Transmission]
• Rengoku: Passion and Determination
• Gyomei: Foundational Understanding
• Shared Principle: Continuous Growth
Rengoku placed a hand on Bell's shoulder. "Victories do not define a hero, but by their path. Each breath, each movement is a choice. A chance to understand more deeply."
Gyomei nodded. "The strongest technique is the one that understands, not just attacks."
[Skill Integration Complete]
[Combat Philosophy: Transformed]
[New Path: Opened]
As they prepared to continue their dungeon exploration, something had fundamentally changed. They were no longer just adventurers. They were artists, philosophers, storytellers - using combat as their medium of expression.
[Return Journey Begins]
[Dungeon Exit Sequence]
[Psychological Integration Active]
The group emerged from Babel Tower changed. Their movements were different - more fluid, more intentional. Even walking seemed like a form of communication with the world around them.
[Post-Dungeon Adaptation]
• Mental Processing: Active
• Skill Internalisation: Maximum
• Emotional Resonance: High
Eina waited at the Guild registration desk, her analytical eyes immediately detecting the difference. "Your auras," she said carefully, "they've... changed."
Lefiya's magical circuits seemed to breathe differently. Ais moved with a newfound grace that blended wind and lightning. Bell's entire being radiated a calm, focused energy that spoke of profound understanding.
[Skill Manifestation]
• Bell: Harmonised Breathing Technique
• Ais: Elemental Communication
• Lefiya: Magical Resonance
"UMAI!" Rengoku declared as they exited, "The journey is always more important than the destination!"
Gyomei's quiet wisdom added depth. "Each step is a lesson. Each breath, a story."
[Manor Approach]
[Hestia Familia Headquarters]
[Special Reunion Protocol]
The manor seemed to sense their approach. Magical barriers shifted, creating a welcoming path—divine energy pulsed with anticipation.
As they entered, Hestia stood waiting, her divine senses already detecting the profound changes in her familia members.
"Welcome home," she said, her eyes embracing their transformed presence.
[Reunion Sequence]
• Skill Integration Confirmed
• Mentor Bond: Strengthened
• Familia Potential: Expanded
Rengoku burst into the main hall. "Hestia-sama! Our hero has taken another step on his path!"
Bell stepped forward, no longer just a rookie adventurer, but something more. His report would be unlike any the familia had heard before.
[Status Update Preparation]

As the updates were completed, Lefiya approached Hestia nervously. "Goddess," she said, "I was wondering... could I receive a Falna? A dual one, perhaps?"
Hestia's divine senses immediately recognised the complexity of the request. "From the Loki Familia?" she asked carefully. "You'll need Loki's explicit permission. We can't create complications between families."
[Special Consultation Protocol]
• Obtain Loki's Approval
• Maintain Inter-Familial Diplomacy
• Potential Alliance Considerations
"Speak with Loki first," Hestia advised. "Make sure she understands the full scope of what you're requesting. A dual Falna is unprecedented - it could change everything about how families operate."
[Potential Quest Triggered]
[Dual Falna Negotiation]
• Secure Loki's Permission
• Demonstrate Unique Skill Potential
• Maintain Familia Relationships
Lefiya nodded, understanding the delicate political nature of her request. The implications of a dual Falna would be far-reaching for Orario's adventurer system.
[Loki Familia Mansion]
[Dual Falna Negotiation Preparation]
Loki lounged in her private study, her perpetually closed eyes opening slightly as Ais and Lefiya entered. The room itself seemed to crackle with divine energy.
"Well, well," Loki said in her typical mischievous tone. Two of my favourite children return with something interesting written on their faces."
[Negotiation Initialisation]
• Lefiya's Dual Falna Request
• Ais's Unique Status Update
• Inter-Familial Implications
Lefiya stepped forward, her magical circuits humming with the new breathing techniques she'd learned. "Loki-sama, I have a... unique request."

The manor's magical barriers shifted, creating space for the new arrivals. Magical circles formed, stabilising their cross-world transfer.
[Summon Integration Protocol]
• World Adaptation Sequence
• Skill Synchronisation
• Familia Potential Enhancement
Back at the Loki Familia mansion, Loki's eyes were fully open now. "A dual Falna?" she repeated, her voice a mixture of curiosity and calculation. "Explain."
Lefiya detailed the magical breathing techniques, the skill integration, and the potential for a completely new approach to familia development.

[New Familia Members Integration]
[Zenitsu and Nezuko Arrival Protocol]
[Cross-World Adaptation: Maximum]
The magical circles stabilised, revealing two very different individuals. Zenitsu appeared first, looking simultaneously terrified and excited, while Nezuko emerged with her distinctive bamboo mouthpiece and an aura of controlled intensity.

The moment he materialised, Zenitsu's eyes darted around the room. "WHERE AM I?" he shrieked, then immediately spotted Rengoku. "RENGOKU-SAN!"
[Nezuko Kamado - Initial Assessment]
• Demon Transformation Ability
• Regenerative Powers
• Combat Instinct: Exceptional
• Emotional Control: Maximum
Nezuko tilted her head, studying the room with keen, non-human perception. Her demonic nature was carefully controlled, but unmistakably powerful.
Rengoku burst into laughter. "UMAI! Our familia grows stronger!"
[Familia Integration Protocol]
• Skill Assessment
• Combat Potential Evaluation
• Cross-World Adaptation
"Welcome," Hestia said, stepping forward. "You've been summoned to a unique familia in Orario. Your skills will be crucial to our growth."
Zenitsu immediately fell to his knees. "I'm not worthy! I'm just a coward who becomes strong only when he's asleep!"
[Hidden Skill Detection]
• Thunder Breathing: Unconscious Mastery
• Survival Instinct: Maximum
• Potential Growth: Exceptional
Nezuko bowed slightly, her movements precise and controlled.
Gyomei observed quietly. "Strength comes in many forms," he said. "Not all power is visible."

"First things first," Hestia declared, "we need to understand your unique abilities. Bell - help them feel welcome!"
[Welcome Protocol Activated]

The manor seemed to pulse with new potential as the group interacted. Two more extraordinary individuals had joined the Hestia Familia, each bringing a world of unique possibilities.
[Falna Blessing Preparation]
[Special Conditions: Cross-World Integration]
[Unique Metabolic Adaptation Required]
Hestia prepared the sacred status room, sensing the unique challenge Nezuko's demonic nature would present. Where a normal Falna might struggle, her divine system would need to adapt.
[Zenitsu Agatsuma - Falna Integration]
• Thunder Breathing Resonance
• Unconscious Skill Activation
• Potential Skill Evolution
As her blood touched Zenitsu's back, his status materialised:

When Hestia's blood touched Nezuko's back, the entire room erupted in a divine and demonic energy cascade.

The room stabilised. Nezuko stood unchanged, but something fundamental had shifted. The Falna had not just blessed her - it had integrated her demonic nature into a new, controlled form.
Rengoku's eyes widened. "UMAI! The divine blessing has found harmony with her unique nature!"
Gyomei nodded. "Balance is found in understanding, not suppression."
[Familia Integration Complete]
[Unique Skill System: Activated]
[Nezuko's First Words]
[Divine Blessing Integration Complete]
The room fell silent as Nezuko tilted her head, the bamboo mouthpiece slowly dissolving. Her eyes, previously wild and controlled, now held a depth of understanding.
"Thank you," she spoke softly, her voice clear and controlled. "For giving me a chance to be more than my curse."
[Memory Restoration]
• Full Memories Unlocked
• Trauma Healing Initiated

Memories flooded back - her brother Tanjiro, her transformation, the struggles against demons. But now, something was different. The Falna had done more than just bless her - it had healed her.
Rengoku's eyes glistened. "UMAI! The power of understanding!"
[Simultaneous Event]
[Loki Familia Mansion]
Loki studied Lefiya with her characteristic mischievous grin. "A dual Falna, hmm? Like Ais's arrangement?"
"Similar," Lefiya explained, "but with a focus on magical breathing techniques and inter-familia skill sharing."
[Dual Falna Negotiation]

"Let's go see Hestia," Loki declared, "and see what this is all about."
