I love time travel the most!

If you can decide on it from the beginning, you can not only save a lot of time, but also gain immeasurable benefits for your own growth attributes.

"I define my fighting style as a three-step process."

"Three steps?"

This was clearly the first time anyone had heard of this theory.

"The choice of weapons, one's own strengths, and the goals of growth."

Kobayashi raised a finger, a silver-white thread wrapped around it, and said, "There's a saying: weapons are an adventurer's closest companions. The right weapon can bring out an adventurer's strength. Therefore, choosing a weapon is the most important part of the path to becoming stronger."

Take him as an example.

Actually, Kobayashi's weapon at first was not silk thread but a bow and arrow. Later, with the addition of Kazuma Sato and Aqua, he gave up the bow and arrow and chose a longsword. Finally, because Ota said that the longsword was not suitable for him, he finally chose silk thread.

The three men looked at the weapons in their hands.

As for the Sword Maiden Ais, it goes without saying that she is very suitable for the weapon as she can upgrade the rapier to LV6; while Lefia's class is a mage, and her own limitations mean that she can only choose a wand.

Bell looked at the short sword in his hand.

To be honest, he didn't want to switch, because this was a weapon that the goddess Hestia had specially prepared for him.

Bell is currently unaware that the weapon he possesses is a divine artifact worth 2 million; he simply doesn't want to trade it.

Seeing the conflicted expression on the timid rabbit's face, Xiaolin naturally understood why.

Unfortunately, this has nothing to do with the price or value of the weapon. After all, if adventurers use weapons that are not suitable for them in the dungeon, they will inevitably suffer the consequences.

"Of course, it doesn't necessarily mean we have to change our weapons."

"Eh?"

"Whether a weapon is suitable for use depends on one's own strengths. In fact, weapons are an extension of one's own strengths."

Kobayashi's strengths are his eyes and his fingers.

Thanks to this, he changed his weapon to use silk threads, and gained the upper hand in battle every time.

"Bell's strength is that he runs fast."

"This...this..."

The cowardly rabbit scratched its cheek awkwardly.

In his view, Kobayashi's words were an insinuation that he was a coward, and that Sword Maiden Ais had already told him this before.

Kobayashi slapped him on the head and scolded, "Don't make that face. It's a pretty strong advantage."

"Really, really!"

"Of course! Running fast means being agile and skillful, and in fighting enemies, speed is the most straightforward advantage!"

In the world of martial arts, nothing is invincible, only fast is invincible.

Fast is good!

His words were like a shot of adrenaline to the insecure and timid rabbit, rekindling hope in the disheartened Bear Grylls.

"For example..."

Kobayashi thought for a moment, then pointed to the Sword Maiden beside him and said, "Miss Ais is an agility specialist, so you should understand now."

"——!!!"

Bell's eyes shone even brighter.

He was naturally excited to have the same talent as the person he admired, and he felt that he would become as powerful as the Sword Maiden in the future.

This is exactly the mentality of a fan.

While whether one can become as powerful as the Sword Maiden Ais depends on potential and talent, it shouldn't be a problem for Bell.

"Therefore, speed allows for many ways to become stronger."

"The way to become stronger..."

"For example, a powerful combo attack that gains an advantage through speed, or agile movement that skillfully finds openings... and so on."

Kobayashi's words helped Bell open the door to a new world, showing him more ways to become stronger.

"In that case, a short dagger might be a suitable weapon for you, because it is light and agile, so you can stay with your current weapon."

"Yes, yes."

Bell blushed and lowered her head, her thoughts exposed.

As for the other student...

—Lefia.

Kobayashi deliberately ignored her expectant gaze.

Unlike Bell, who has no one to guide him, Lefia, a pillar of the new generation of the Loki Familia, is taught by Riveria, the strongest mage in the Labyrinth City. If her nonsense leads the foolish elf astray, she will definitely be hunted down by the entire Loki Familia.

So, I'm sorry.

However, the last one is one I can play with.

After waiting a moment to allow them to fully digest the knowledge, Xiaolin spoke again: "As for the final goal, it is the growth objective, or rather, the stage-by-stage growth objective."

"Phased?"

"Yes."

Kobayashi gave another example: "You see, it's like a novice adventurer. Although he wants to become a Level 7 expert, no matter how much he grows, he can't catch up. Becoming stronger isn't something that happens overnight; it requires gradual, down-to-earth accumulation. Sometimes, lofty goals don't motivate you; instead, they can bring immense pressure. That's why we have phased growth goals."

The same is true in life.

In learning or work, setting a short-term goal for each stage or period aims to achieve growth during that specific stage or period, and to better move towards long-term goals under the guidance of this stage-based goal.

Now, not only Bell, but also the swordswoman Ais and Lefia were only vaguely aware of the situation.

It seems that it's still too advanced for them.

Of course, this was also said to Bell, because the cowardly rabbit's whole demeanor changed after hearing that Sword Maiden Ais had been promoted to LV6.

Therefore, Xiaolin had to pull him back in time.

Otherwise, this idiot might just snap his brain at any moment.

"Hey! You guys, training in progress?"

Suddenly, a voice greeted me from behind.

The group turned around at the sound.

"The High Goddess Hestia?"

Bell cried out in surprise.

When Hestia saw Bell's bruised and swollen face, her expression immediately changed.

She rushed over, hugged Bell, glared fiercely at Kobayashi and the others, and shouted, "Bell! Who did this to you?! Tell me, who bullied Bell? Step forward!"

"S-God?! No, no...!"

Bell waved his hands, desperately trying to explain.

Unexpectedly, Hestia calmed down first, patted Bell's head, and said softly, "Really, weren't you beaten to a pulp?"

"what?"

"Anyway, it was your insistence that you made it."

"Yes Yes……"

Bell awkwardly turned his head away.

The shy and timid boy was speechless after his own god saw him in such a disheveled state.

“However! Such a ruthless attack, it seems that Miss Warren has absolutely no feelings for you! Hmm, that must be it!” Hestia’s face was beaming with a smile.

“Um… Your Majesty, it wasn’t Miss Wallenstein who did it.”

"Ok?"

"It's Mr. Kobayashi..."

Bell quietly uttered another person's name, causing Hestia to once again show a look of disgust.

"What?! It's Kobayashi?!"

She glared at Kobayashi as if she wanted to pick a fight, but it felt like she wasn't blaming Kobayashi for beating Bell, but rather blaming why it wasn't the Sword Princess Ais who beat Bell.

Poor Bear Grylls, no matter what he does, he can't escape the fate of being beaten up.

They don't even care about their own god.

"sorry."

Kobayashi promptly apologized.

Regardless, Bale's bruised and swollen face was his fault, so apologizing is always the right thing to do.

Instead, Bell hurriedly waved his hands, saying in a flustered manner, "No, no need to apologize! After all, it was I who asked Mr. Kobayashi to give me special training, so, so..."

One is the supreme deity, and the other is the mentor.

It's understandable that Bell would panic.

"In that case, as an apology, let me treat you to a meal," Kobayashi suggested. "It's already evening, let's go out for a big meal!"

"A big, big meal...! Okay, let's have a big meal!"

Hestia's eyes lit up, and drool dripped from the corner of her mouth.

She knew it.

Xiaolin is very generous; he always treats them to a meal whenever they happen to meet.

As night deepened, the dazzling magic stone lamps illuminated the city's nightscape, welcoming adventurers returning from the labyrinth and showcasing a scene of prosperity.

After a hearty meal, the group strolled down the street.

Hestia patted her bulging belly and said with satisfaction, "Ah, the post-training meal tastes so good!"

"...It seems you haven't been training."
