What with those stats?! Brunhild is an amazing mage! She would make a way better addition to our team than the slow Halberd, especially because she has so many elements at once! She can be support, attacker, and healer all at once, and her enormous pool of MP make it impossible for her to tire out quickly, she can keep up with all of us even at her low level.

Has this girl been practicing magic in secret? Or does her father doesn't recognize the magic power she has? I heard they pride on strength… does that mean they only find physical strength as commendable? I guess being giants it's a bit obvious that their physical strength gotta be the highest thing they have.

Compared to his daughter, Halberd's magic was mid at most, and he was the strongest of his village. If we put magic into that calculation, he's getting overthrown by his daughter.

"Father you can't leave, the village needs your protection…" Brunhild quickly called to her father's offer.

"Brunhild don't get in the conversation between adults!" He said.

"Ugh but I am already an adult, I'm over twenty!" Said Brunhild angrily.

"Not until you win a tournament, like the traditions say!" Halberd said to her.

"If only they allowed the usage of magic…" Sighed Brunhild.

"Huh… Why  don't they allow magic usage?" I wondered while raising an eyebrow.

"It is an old tradition, but magic is considered a power that goes beyond mere physical strength, it cannot be properly raised like our muscles either, most of us have terrible talent for it, I have tried using magic all my life and I can barely do much." Said Halberd. "Focusing on physical strength is better due to our physical fitness."

"But your daughter's amazing at magic…" I said.

"What? How did you know that?" Asked Halberd. "She might know a lot of spells but they're very weak."

"No, no, I am pretty sure she's very strong, all her skills are high level." I said. "Like, above level 5, and she even got recovery magic, she could develop that and learn a lot more skills. If you allowed her to learn more, she could had singlehandedly dealt with all the undead except the bone dragon…"

"Eh? What?" Asked Halberd in surprise. "H-How can you see that? And Brunhild has never told me about having so many skills… She uses recovery magic to help others, but usually potions are more effective…"

"Ah, that's because she's probably using it wrong." I sighed. "Recovery magic is more efficient if its infused inside the body's internal structure not over wounds. Ah, I have the Appraisal Skill so I can see anybody's status."

"A-Apraisal…" Halberd quickly looked back at her shocked daughter.

"T-That's… well, I've been training magic in secret…" Brunhild sighed.

"Eh?!" Halberd asked once more. "But I told you to train your physical body!"

"But father, I am way better at magic!" She said.

"Magic is unreliable! Once your MP is over, that's it! Physical strength will always be with you and wont go anywhere, it doesn't cost MP to use your physical strength either, Brunhild!"

"Ugh, you're so old mannered…" Sighed Brunhild.

"Ahem!" Luminous quickly shut down the discussion. "Before this continues, how about we share a meal together?"

p "R-Right… I apologize for that." Sighed Halberd. "Brunhild, come here to eat… We'll discuss this later."

"Sigh… okay.." Brunhild said.

I think I ended making things worse… oops.

However, if I can just let her father see how strong she is, we might bring an amazing magic user like her with us. She'll be able to easily cover all our loose ends in our party formation.

The food was rather okay. It seems they used blood crystal dust as a spice, which was a good replacement for salt and also added a spicy and interesting flavor to the food, almost umami-like.

The wyvern meat was tough but once roasted with Blood Crystal Salt, it ended being tasty anyways. The Antlion stew had mushrooms and the antlion meat was surprisingly juicy, like eating lobster, but less flavorful and with some dirt flavor mixed in between. It was still quite a good meal and I enjoyed it anyways, asking for seconds, thirds, fourths, fifths, and more.

Everyone enjoyed the extravagant food and at least ate two or three plates; we were all quite hungry at the end. When the meal ended, our talk continued while Halberd began to smoke from a pipe that had some dried mushrooms, which grew in abundance in the blood crystal caves.

"Now that we are done with this, let's resume what we were talking before…" Sighed Halberd. "Brunhild, so you've been practicing magic all this time?"

Her father seemed rather angry at her, but Brunhild gripped her fists.

"S-So what if I did?!" She said angrily. "You've never recognized my talents at all! Kireina and her friends came out of nowhere and immediately realized what I was made for…! Since mother died that you've become obsessed with training me physically… Mother was also an amazing magician… her magic saved many lives!"

"Don't talk about your mother in such a tone!" Halberd roared angrily, dropping his pipe into the ground. "You know what happened to her… You know! I don't want that… to happen to you again!"

"But mother… She…!"

"Enough! Go back to your room!"

"Ugh… Always treating me like a child! I hate you!"

Brunhild suddenly broke into tears, running away from the house.

"Brunhild! Agh… This damn child… She's going to give me a seizure one of these days…" Sighed Halberd, without chasing her down.

Damn, this was more than we expected.
