When this set of data appeared before Loki, the string of four-digit ability values left her completely stunned.
"Magic… 1900?"
"All the other stats are over 1200!?"
"Have I gone mad, or is the Falna System broken?"
The numbers were absolutely outrageous.
Loki could swear that in all her time in Genkai, she had never seen any Adventurer with such absurd stats.
Even "Silence," the famed figure of the Heroic Era, didn't have such extreme numbers.
"Silence" had trained every stat to the limit and was hailed by the gods as a "talent monster." She possessed talents far beyond the average Adventurer and was one of the rare few—aside from ancient adventurers—to break through the constraints of the Falna System.
And yet, even then, "Silence" had only exceeded the limit with her magic stat; her agility and dexterity remained capped at 999.
But this kid? Every single stat had surpassed 999, reaching heights beyond imagination.
His magic stat alone had hit 1900.
Loki didn't even know what level these numbers represented anymore—but she understood one thing: this kid was utterly unique among all adventurers.
"Calm down, Loki."
Hephaestus placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Heh... How do you expect me to stay calm?"
These numbers were so bizarre that Loki couldn't even keep a straight face.
"Hephaestus, don't tell me this kid's stats were this ridiculous all the way back at Lv.1?"
That made Hephaestus think back to Bell's status when he first started.
"I don't think... they were quite that high."
"What were they exactly?"
"Um... around 1200?"
And just like that, Loki fell into stunned silence.
Every stat—around 1200. At Level 1.
She had never seen anything more absurd in her life.
Loki let out a bitter laugh.
"I thought he was just leveling up fast… but the sheer height of his growth is something else."
"At Lv.1, his stats were already at 1200. Meanwhile, Finn, Gareth, and Riveria only managed to max out at 999. I used to think they'd pushed their growth to the limit—but now I see there's someone completely beyond that."
For any ordinary Adventurer, 999 was the growth cap.
Not because it couldn't go higher, but because those without enough talent would be locked there. Only the truly gifted could surpass that threshold.
Even "Silence" had only broken it by reaching 1001—yet this kid had already hit 1200.
That wasn't just a breakthrough; it was an explosion.
'No wonder he's called Orario's greatest talent. These stats make it crystal clear.'
The numbers alone screamed "strongest talent."
Loki took a deep breath and looked toward the Development Abilities section—then her eyelids twitched violently again.
"Sure, ability stats might rise quickly... but usually, Development Abilities lag behind. Not for this kid."
One B rank and two E ranks.
And these weren't just stats—they were Development Ability grades.
Even Finn and the others, after decades of effort, had only reached E in the abilities they first selected. But this kid had only been an Adventurer for half a year and already achieved that—and even surpassed it.
Not only had he reached E, but he had one at B already.
"Hmph~ My Bell-kun grows quickly in every area!"
Hestia proudly puffed out her chest and held her head high.
Her child's excellence was something she took great pride in, though she usually had to keep it hidden to conceal his growth. But now, in front of Loki, she could finally boast a little.
Loki gave Hestia—who was clearly flaunting it—a quick glance. If this kid were her own, she figured she'd be bragging even more than this shorty.
She kept reading.
'Well, well! So this is where the problem lies.'
Loki quickly noticed the top skill listed: "Personal Training: Early Bloomer."
She understood what "early bloomer" meant—and this skill was clearly the key to Bell's rapid growth. The issue, however, was that there were no detailed descriptions attached. In other words, the scope of "early bloomer" was extremely broad, with no clear definition.
In short, it was completely ridiculous.
The mere fact that a trait like "early bloomer" was categorized as a skill was rare enough—but one with such vague limitations? That was just absurd.
Then there were the other two skills: "Heaven's Luck" and "The Poor Man's Desire."
One was a luck-based skill, the other a power-charging skill.
Luck-based skills were incredibly rare. And even when they existed, they usually appeared under Development Abilities, not the skill section. To see one listed as a skill was nearly unheard of.
As for the charging skill—Loki now understood exactly how this kid had managed to slice off the arm of the Spirit's guardian in a single blow.
Stealth + ambush + charge... No wonder even the Spirit's guardian—the one who had overpowered Ais—had been forced to retreat. There really was no other option.
Then Loki spotted another oddity.
This kid only had two spells in his magic list: one was Four-Dimensional Space, and the other was Lightning Command. Neither of them was the rune magic she had seen him use so often.
What was going on?
And Lightning Command... its description said "Quick-Cast Magic" and "Controls Lightning."
There was no chant listed—meaning this spell could be cast instantly, without an incantation. And "Controls Lightning"... that phrasing struck her as unusual.
If it were anyone else, Loki would've dismissed it immediately, thinking she was just overanalyzing things.
But this kid was different.
There was a faint possibility that even this magic...
"Shorty, this Lightning Command—isn't it...?"
"It should be Authority."
"...This kid has two Authorities!?"
