Jaune Arc - Dreamscape

Chapter 28

The Loki Familia, Jaune did not know that's who he was staring at earlier. Or that three of their members took an interest in him with different motivations. As this Familia raced to the lower floors, Bete had a few words to say.

He said, "Ha! See? What did I say? Until this point, we have not seen a sight of that weakling. That shitty Level 1 is probably dead by now. The first floor only had a single route to follow, and we didn't see a glimpse of him."

Everyone shook their heads. They believed Bete's words. However, the three interested in Jaune did not hesitate to doubt his words. They felt something unique and special about him.

Tiona said, "I don't believe that for one bit. What I felt when I saw him was power, hidden and controlled. We would be in for a surprise when we meet him later."

Bete said, "Tsk! You're delusional. There is no way that shitty Level 1 would be anything you described."

Riveria said, "That's where you are wrong. Have none of you felt it? The dungeon seems to be agitated. And there seems to be something in the air. Nature itself is dancing right now. It is exciting."

Lefiya added, "I agreed with Riveria-san. This reaction from nature only happened around that man. If it is still this way, it means that he is alive. Otherwise, nature would have returned to normal."

Bete once more ridiculed Jaune saying, "It sounds like you three are obsessed with that shitty..." He could not finish his words as a tree branch knocked him down.

Tiona shouted, "Bete!"

Everyone looked at the werewolf, but they were shocked. The trees are attacking him, but they are not monsters of the dungeon, merely ordinary trees. No one understood what was happening, but Riveria had a hypothesis.

She said, "This is incredible. I have never seen such a direct reaction from nature life itself. They've been listening to our conversation, and they're angry."

The short man in the group asked, "Riveria-san. What do you mean by that?"

Riveria replied, "Earlier, we discussed a guy we saw in the dungeon's entrance. Bete started bad-mouthing the man. I guess nature itself was not happy about that. We did mention to Bete that nature was dancing around ever since that man entered the dungeon."

The short man said, "Are you saying he is attacking us for badmouthing him?"

Riveria shook her head, "No, I'm sure he isn't aware of what is happening here. Nature is alive. To that man, they almost seem to worship him. Finn-san, how would you react if someone you worship was to be ridiculed?"

Finn thought momentarily and replied, "Of course, I would be pissed...I see."

Riveria nodded, saying, "You get the idea. This was retaliation from nature itself for their anger towards Bete's ridicule."

Finn did a thinking pose, saying, "I didn't think that was possible. Sure, we have earthquakes and other natural disasters, but nothing directly hostile towards a single individual."

As they discussed Jaune, the person in question, was on the 30th floor, bathing in his portable bath. He arrived immensely quickly due to his [Wings of Wind] giving him a boost in speed and gaining the ability to fly and [True War Arts] allowing him to discern his enemy's weakness and how to take advantage of his weaponry.

If anyone was to ask Jaune how long did it take him to arrive on his current floor, no one would believe him and accuse him of being a liar and an attention whore. Why? Because they have never heard of anyone being capable of doing so within the biggest Familia in Orario.
