Finishing up for the night, Jaune teleported out of the dungeon but not to the Hestia mansion. He has gathered countless monster drops and plans to sell them to the guild. However, there were a few that Jaune did not intend to sell. Drops that were useful in making weapons or armors.
Arriving at the guild, Jaune looked for Eina, who was away. Therefore, he had to pick the available receptionist/advisor, which happens to be Rose. He sighed. Rose was not a fan of him or anyone she perceived as weak. He can't blame her since his stats are sealed.
Jaune approached her and said, "Rose. It's good to see you again."
Rose looked at Jaune with a weird look. She felt he looked different, not because he didn't have his usual Fox ears. No, it is because he had this Godly glow to him. She shook her head and said, "I already told you I do not want to be your advisor."
Jaune shook his head, saying, "I'm not here for that. Remember, I already have Eina as my advisor. I'm here to sell the drops I got from the dungeon and all the monster cores I collected."
Hearing that Jaune was not looking for an advisor, Rose became more approachable to a certain extent. She said, "Place the cores on the counter, including any drop you got."
She did not see Jaune carrying any bag. As a result, she thought he old had a handful of drops.
Jaune removed the [Bag of Holding] from his item box and dropped all its content on the counter, shocking Rose and everyone in the guild.
Shocked wouldn't even begin to describe what Rose and anyone in the surrounding area was feeling. There have to be at least thousands of cores that were taken out. But that was not the most shocking. What Rose said would shock everyone.
Examining the cores, Rose exclaimed, saying, "These are monster cores from the deeper floor! Where did you get them?"
Jaune replied, "Uhm...From floor 30 to the 50th floor."
Rose was shocked. She said, "That's impossible! A level 1 can barely go to the third floor! How can you say you've gotten monster core on the 50th floor? Please be truthful about where you got the monster core."
Jaune gave her a blank look, saying, "Are you insinuating that I stole this monster core? Because I have witnesses that saw me on the 30th floor. She introduced herself as Tiona Hiryute."
In the dungeon, Tiona sneezed. She noticed something that happened earlier. She asked her companions, "Hey, did he mention his name?"
Tione, Tiona's twin sister, asked, "Whom are you talking about?"
Tiona replied, "The guy I had a spar with! I don't think he introduced himself...Now that I think about it, I did not introduce myself. So, how did he know what name was?"
Tione said, "Are you sure you did not introduce yourself?"
Tiona nodded, saying, "I'm sure! I was so excited to have a spar with him that I forgot to introduce myself."
Finn said, "Knowing our names should not be that surprising. Being the main force of the Loki Familia, we are well known in Orario."
Tiona said, "That is not true. Yes, we are the Loki Familia's main force, but our nickname is well known, not our real name. For example, Ais, people know her as the Sword Princess. Or, Riveria as Nine Hells."
Finn said, "That is true. Now, you got me curious about how he knew your name. Maybe he knows all of our names."
Bete said, "Ha! He is probably some shitty stalker!"
As expected, Bete was, again, attacked by nature. He still hasn't fully learned his lesson.
As Rose calculated the amount to be given to Jaune for compensation for the monster core, she couldn't help but stare at the young man. She could not see any feasible way for him to enter the 30th floor of the dungeon. She sighed and let it be.
