Chapter 80 Learning how to properly swing my sharp stick.

It was when Ryuu trounced me in another one of our spars that I couldn't help but feel irritated at how inexperienced I was in comparison to how fast as I was growing in pure stats.

"Ryuu how can I get better with my sword." I asked as I ran a towel over my sword at Ryuu's insistence as despite its over worldly nature, it still could pick up a bit of dust during our battles and she had a good point of if I didnt take good care of my weapon I probably wouldn't be taking care of myself.

Ryuu uncharacteristically and instantly covered her mouth, but I could see her expression as she clearly took her own joy out of my question, and it took a couple seconds for her to school her expression into her usual stoic face as she replied. "Jake the vast majority of high-quality adventurers built themselves up over the literal decades it took them to gain there strength unlike you who within not even a year overtook the likes of Finn Demie and Lady Riveria's work of decades."

Thats true... I mean Riveria is literally 99 years old and it's my help that helped her get the high quality Excellia and stat points for her to level up to level seven and I could see it not only within her eyes, but the rest of the Loki members wanted to adventure with me to gain easy stat points. Then I could also take them to another world to fight a dangerous monster or being to gain the high quality Excellia to level up all within a couple months instead of years of dangerous grinding within the dungeon.

Granted I imagine he would be a phenomenal teacher but I didnt want to indebt myself towards a Familia I could no longer even adventure with as they were far too weak for me to drag them down to the twenty and below floors. "Hestia, I think its best I went to a group who have studied and worked out styles for the same kind of sword I am wielding for centuries. Plus, unless I give Takemikazuchi's Familia some fused stuff which no one wants me to do I will feel indebted towards him as my teacher."

She pouted hearing me turn her own sort of jealously against her, as she saw me giving away my fused items as cheating for whatever reason and she even got a bit pouty when I gave Ryuu her flying boots as well, just because she was still attached to Astraea and didnt join Hestia's Familia when I offered.

"Fine! but you best not be gone for more than three weeks Jake!" She yelled throwing herself into my arms.

As I firmly hugged Hestia I mentally kept track of the fact that at least for when we went to LOTR there was four times, time dilation between words so for every week here in Danmachi was at least a month in LOTR so if it was similar, I would have around three months to explore and kill some demons and the reason I chose Demon Slayer besides the Nichirin swords I wanted to snag for myself and to fuse to my armor was to kill those demons who had space manipulation abilities so I could make the teleporters I envisioned for the public to use and conquer the dungeon.
