Shiro smiled wearily seeing Lyrica's enthusiasm.

[I know. Come on, let's get as many levels as we can for you. My MP can still hold up for a while.] Shiro replied holding up the notepad.

"Alright!" Lyrica replied as Shiro refroze the sword to make sure it kept its sharpness.

After clearing out a majority of the beasts that were in front of them, Lyrica didn't manage to level up again. Most of the mobs were below LVL 10 making the EXP gain lower.

[We'll just kill the obelisk guardian then. That should level you up to 12.] Shiro wrote down as Lyrica was panting heavily due to how much she had been moving.

"Can we handle it?" She said taking a short break.

[We should be able to. Though I'll have to let my MP regenerate to full. You should take this chance to recover some of your stamina as well.]

"Hey Shiro. Isn't this bad for me? Like, I'm levelling up quickly but my experience would be limited." Lyrica said after a while.

[It's good that you know. However, this is just to get your level up to par with everyone else so they don't look down on you. Afterwards, we'll be able to challenge Dungeons 3 days a week with the trio filling up the missing spots.] Shiro replied.

"But 3 runs per week is still a little short. I wish I can get more experience." Lyrica replied with a sigh.

[When did I ever say we're going to do a single run a day? I said 3 days a week and never specified how many times they had to accompany us. For all we know, they could accompany us for 24 days inside the Dungeon or 24hrs outside. A single day.] Shiro showed Lyrica her note with a grin.

"Hahaha, Shiro that's mean." Lyrica chuckled seeing the trap Shiro laid out for the trio.

"But wouldn't they retaliate?" Lyrica asked.

[Nope. It's part of the contract after all. They can only blame themselves for not reading carefully. Not to mention, this missy here is a level 21 while they haven't even Classed Up yet.]

"Sometimes I wonder if you're really a 13-year-old Shiro. You seem so much more mature than I am." Lyrica said as Shiro shrugged.

[The physical body doesn't represent the mentality. One can be old yet have the heart of a child. Or be young and have the mindset of an a.d.u.l.t.] Shiro wrote down as Lyrica nodded in agreement.

"Shiro is a smart, scheming and is a powerful person. In a good way of course." Lyrica grinned.

'And you are a hopeless person who needs guidance.' Shiro thought with a smile but didn't say out loud. She had a feeling that Lyrica will become someone great as long as she got the help she needed.

This whim of her's may prove to be more beneficial than she had expected.

chapter-10

After the spar, it was time for lunch. Both Lyrica and Shiro went together as Shiro bought some sandwiches once again.

[Do you want to go Dungeon Exploring later? We'll try to get some money so we can make you that new weapon.] Shiro wrote down whilst eating a mana stone filled sandwich.

"Eh? What do you mean?" Lyrica asked.

[Don't you need the dual ended sword? We'll save up some money so we can go get one made for you. Then you'll be able to do Dungeons much easier.]

"Well… A higher level Dungeon needs at least 5 people. I've always been on my own so I don't really enter Dungeons most of the time. When I do, the loot goes to the other people since they have more contribution than me." Lyrica admitted with slight shame.

Shiro frowned hearing about this.

[It's fine. I had my Class Up so I should be a D rank adventurer. Right now I'm a E+ because I didn't Class Up last time.] Shiro explained showing Lyrica her Guild ID.

"Even then, we need 2 D ranks to enter the level 10+ Dungeon." Lyrica said as Shiro frowned.

'Troublesome.' She thought.

[Is there a way to get a permit to enter the Dungeon with just us 2?] Shiro asked but Lyrica shook her head.

Shiro tried to think of solutions but couldn't come up with one.

To level Lyrica up, the best way was for them to enter a Dungeon higher level than 10. She was able to enter alone into the public Dungeon last time was due to the monsters being level 5 or below. That and also she was a E+ rank adventurer.

A woman walked pass as she paused seeing what Shiro had just wrote down.

"You want to enter a Dungeon with just the two of you?!" She said as Shiro turned to her.

[Madison LVL 14 – Swordswoman]

She had brown hair tied in a ponytail, black eyes and a average face that had its own sense of beauty.

[Yes, is there anything wrong?] Shiro wrote.

"Maybe not for you, but this loser would drag you down." Madison said pointing her finger at Lyrica.

Lyrica shrunk back, not daring to meet her eyes.

Shiro frowned seeing her confidence shrinking once more.

[I'm a level 21 Ice mage. I can make up for what she lacks.] Shiro wrote down as her surroundings started to drop in temperature.

"Even as a level 21 Ice Mage, you'll run out of MP eventually. The loser here will just draw in more enemies and cause you to suffer losses." Madison said not relenting.

[And how would you know that?]

"I know because she was in my party once." Madison said as she glared at Lyrica causing her to shrink back further.

Shiro paused as she realised that this was a prime opportunity.

[In 1 Dungeon run. I can guarantee that she levels up to 12 at least. That should prove her worth.] Shiro wrote down as Madison laughed.

"Level 12? EXP is calculated in terms of contribution in the party. With a hindrance like her, it would take forever to level her up once." Madison said.

[I can guarantee her a high contribution percentage easily.] Shiro smiled.

"Big words for a little girl." Madison said seeing what Shiro wrote.

[How about this then. I want you and 2 of your friends to fill in the gap in our team. Me and Lyrica will proceed with the Dungeon. We'll have a single day inside the dungeon or an hour outside. If I don't get her level to at least level 12, I'll serve under you and help you level up to 20 instead.] Shiro wrote down as both Lyrica and Madison felt their jaws drop.

"S-S-Shiro?!" Lyrica said shocked at what Shiro was wagering.

'Having a level 21 assist me will make me level up much faster.' Madison thought.

"What do I have to do if I lose the bet." She asked.

Shiro smiled as she knew she had Madison hooked.

[For 5 days in a week, you'll help me and Lyrica fill the numbers needed to enter a dungeon.]

"5 Days… 3 at most." Madison said as Shiro nodded. Being able to enter the Dungeon 3 days in a week was worth it.

'Even if I lose, 3 days isn't too bad.' Madison thought.

[We'll sign an agreement later so neither of us can go back on our words.] Shiro wrote down as she remembered the school allowing bets but they must be under a contract.

"Alright. I just hope you don't back out." Madison replied.

[Don't worry I won't. We'll do the bet today since the Dungeon Exploration class will start soon.]

Shiro gestured for Lyrica to follow.

'Heh, just a kid in the end. I'm an Ice system focused mage. My magic can help lock down monsters making it easier for my teammates to kill them. This is basically a one-sided bet.' Shiro thought with a grin.

That and also the fact that there was a slight loophole in the agreement. She never stated how many times they'll be running the dungeon in a day. A day is 24 hours, she can spend 24 days in the dungeon if she wanted.

As they left the food court, Lyrica couldn't help but be anxious.

"Shiro, you shouldn't have done that. EXP is calculated in contributions. I doubt I'll be able to get enough contributions to level up twice. Not to mention, you'll basically become her servant!" Lyrica said sounding anxious.

[Don't worry about it. It's only till level 20.] Shiro grinned.

"How can I not worry!? The average for level 20 is 16 to 18 years old. You'll have to help her for at least 2 years or more!"

[I'll be making the dual ended sword for you using my Ice. My INT is pretty high so it should help you in terms of contribution. You'll be killing the monsters while I'll be restraining them. This way, you should be able to get enough contribution.] Shiro wrote down.

"But your freedom is at stake!?"

[Oh please. If I can level up to 21 even though I'm 13 years old, I'm bound to have a few tricks up my sleeve.] Shiro said shrugging her shoulders.

'Well, the truth is that I reached level 21 in just a few days.' Shiro thought.

"Even so. That's your freedom at stake for 3 fill-ins." Lyrica frowned.

[It's just till level 20. If anything, I'm counting on you.] Shiro grinned.

"Ha… You make reaching level 20 quickly sound so easy." Lyrica sighed.

[Don't worry about it too much, just focus on increasing contributions later when we do the Dungeon.]
