both Bell and Argonaut are on the 37th floor and Argonaut told Bell all he had to do in his special training was to beat the boss alone and as Bell tried to understand what was just said he then had the idea clear and began to panic.
Bell:" but- I mean- I'm not ready-"
Argonaut:" oh yes you are, you far exceed that of the other floor bosses, the infant dragon on the upper floor's, the silverback's, the minotaur's, even the Goliath is to easy for you, and other methods will take to long... this is the only one that will give you a proper challenge with our limited time schedule"
Bell:" I'm not that strong, I mean, this floor boss is very powerful"
Bell's thought's:" let's take Ais for example, even she had to get help from the hell nine, Rivaria Ljos Alf, to bearly take down this floor boss, even if it was a little help"
Argonaut:"...look Bell, don't go underestimating yourself now, you're plenty strong enough, look at what you did in these 4 month's compared to the million's of people before you did in that same amount of time... although if you overestimate yourself, that is just as bad, if not worse, but I seen first hand what you can do, those monster's on the 33rd floor were no joke, and yet injured and tired, you fought them off... look Bell, I wouldn't do this if you weren't ready for it, and you're ready for this challenge Bell"
Bell:" but how will I know if I'm strong enough to win"
Argonaut:" okay look, you just need to remember this," I'm not invincible, but I will fight, not for me, but for my friend's and family, the people who have faith in me, as long as I have someone to fight for, I'll fight till the end" these word's help many people like you and me, so from now on when your fighting and losing, remember these word's and you'll win just about every time, and if not, you go down fighting"
Bell's thought's:" so I fight for someone else, haven't I always thought I was fighting for myself, but now that he mentions it, I won't let all my friend's hard work go to waste, I will win"
Argonaut:" here's a secret so listen, if you let your emotion's roar, like anger, sadness, happiness, loneliness, just about any emotion you have, if you don't hide them and embrace them, you'll find a new power you didn't realize you had before"
Bell smiled with pride and wasn't scared anymore with only the thought of winning this fight in his mind.
Bell:" yeah, I will, thank's for talking me into it, I'll try and have more confidence in myself and my actions, if I made it this far, then I can make it farther"
Argonaut:" and don't be ashamed to be honest either, let me ask you this, why did you become an adventurer"
Bell was embarrassed and didn't say it right away, trying to avoid the true answer
Bell:" mmm, to get women"
Bell's thought's:" there is some truth in that, so it should be good enough, like my grandfather always told me...although I think I should have been thinking more about that now that I stop and think on how wrong that sound's"
Argonaut's thoughts:" you already have women all over you, how many more do you need... well it's not like he was telling the truth, but still"
Argonaut:" tell me the truth Bell, come on, I won't mock you Bell, no matter what it is"
Bell:" fine, I wanted to be a hero like the heroes in the stories my grandfather use to read to me as a kid, and when he died, I thought I should have him look down and see I became a hero like him, one he can be proud of, and Capaneus is an inspiration to, he may be cruel and scary at time's, but he is a hero to me, and he helped me through this, I want them both to see me as a hero they can be proud of"
Argonaut's thought's:"...he is so pure, we need more people like him down here, and some of that is the same for me as well, I guess we have more in common than I originally thought"
Argonaut was taken by that answer and then walked to the stair's to find a good spot in the middle of the stairwell and told Bell this to give him good fortune.
Argonaut:" if that's your dream Bell, then I look forward to you reaching that dream, you may even outmatching that of the black lightning hero someday"
Bell was going to say something but then the ground started to rumble and the floor Boss came out and was ready to attack. Bell was ready to fight with his knifes out ready to attack, Argonaut got to the middle of the stairwell, and set up his view for this fight.
Argonaut's thought's:" I wonder if I'm going too far, well, I am jumping in if he is in danger so it's all good I suppose, then again that still doesn't make it right"
as he got ready to view the fight, another party was heading down since they haven't been in the dungeon for a long time.
Bete:" finally we can get serious work done, now let's just hope that some piece of trash doesn't hold us back like last time"
Finn:" really, that's funny, I remember the reason for us being banned differently than because it was because a stupid dog couldn't stop barking and bit more than he could chew that got us banned trying to say it was alright to break the rules"
Bete:" their's no point in defending garbage is there, we're here now so all we need to do is focus on getting stronger"
Riveria:" BETE, must we remind you that Loki said to make EXTRA sure we don't cause trouble again with Capaneus here now... he said next time, he will be far more strict and punish us far worse than last time"
Bete:" yeah yeah I remember, but I'm just saying, what's the point in defending those hopeless cases"
Tione:" still want to go against him that badly, seriously, he's nice when you get on his good side"
Tiona:" then why do we keep you around Bete if you're just going to get un into trouble"
Lefiya:" can we calm down please, let's just focus on our work"
Riveria:" she's right, we need to calm down or else"
Tione:" alright, let's... hey, who's that down there"
Gareth:" yeah, I see him too, is that a magic vision thingy setup"
they all look down and find the Mystery 7 sitting in the middle of the stairwell watching something on a magic projection he placed in the middle of the stairwell for the level entrance. curious they head down and talk to him, hesitant at first but then talked to him about what he is doing.
Finn:" well I'll say it's a nice surprise to see the legendary Mystery 7 here, what are you doing"
Argonaut:" Oh hello again Braver, and the rest of the Loki familia member's, I guess your ban has been lifted"
Finn:" yes, though we were allowed one expedition off of the kindness of Bell convincing Capaneus to let us have it to help with our financial trouble for our sudden stop of income and since Bell was hurt, Capaneus gave us a strict punishment of giving about 120 percent of our income to the Hestia familia"
Gareth:" we went down to make money, and not only did we lose everything we gained from the expedition, but we also had to pay a fine, not the best combination"
Argonaut:" well all I can say to you is this... don't pick fights with authority figures"
Bete:"he-"
Riveria:" we plan on that, and putting a muzzle on Bete if he does anything else like that with him getting a server punishment"
Tiona:" so what are you up to"
Argonaut:" I'm watching this fight that's about to happen"
they see the screen and see Bell and lot's of red flag's rise up.
Bete:" it's that piece of trash, what's he trying doing their"
Argonaut:" wait, what, did he really call an adventurer trash"
Riveria:" he doesn't want to admit Bell is strong cause then he'll say Capaneus was right, just bear with it, he'd rather die than say he was right"
Argonaut:" wow, so you're really that childish"
Bete:" shut up"
Argonaut:" I hate people like that, the ones who think their all that because they're higher in level and pick on those lower than them for the fun of it, it makes me sick"
Bete:" don't lump me in on those people, I just hate weak people the most, they can't do anything, yet they act so frivolously, I really can't stand them they make me sick, plus Capaneus pisses me off like no other"
Argonaut:" that's extremely deplorable, what make's you different than an overconfident, stuck up bastard who was purposely abandoned by his parent's because they hated their child, and for good reason"
that made everyone laugh, even Riveria had to hold her gut because of pain in her stomach from laughing, Bete was pissed and tried to attack, but was instantaneously stopped by his hand catching his attack.
Argonaut:"if we fight, I'll try to hold back, but more than likely, you will die in one hit, I tend to get carried away when I fight"
he was in his face with a death glair, even with a mask on, the glair penetrated Bete with death itself being the presence of his eyes and he settled down in fear. then some more parties showed up and saw as Bete was told off.
Welf:"that is a seriously scary threat, can I go home now, I seen enough"
Welf's thought's:"so this is the Mystery 7, he's giving me shiver's down my spine"
Tsubaki:"I know it's tempting, but we need to stand our ground, even if were shivering"
Asfi:"I wonder why he's here more like"
Lulune:" who care's let's just go and be on our way before were in that situa- wait is that Bell"
they look at the screen as Bell been fighting the floor boss this entire time and is actually holding his ground. Ais wanted to rush in and help, but Argonaut stopped her by blocking her path.
Finn:" did your god set you up to this, like Freya did with Ottar"
Argonaut:" while it may look like that, this is nowhere close to that, you see this is part of his training, I agreed to train the Hestia familia for the tournament as part of our agreement, and this is part of his special training, so if you would mind and calm down, I have this under control, if any trouble arrives, I'll rush in and stop it immediately"
they were all shocked at this new's and then asked a bunch of question's, and also how they were taken on how he was hired to train them, though Argonaut lied about being hired so they wouldn't suspect anything from his true position in the Hestia familia.
Welf:" how did they contact you"
Asfi:" how do you know them"
Ais:" what training are you doing"
there were lots of people asking question's but Argonaut just ignored them and continued to watch Bell fight the floor boss. going to Bell before he fought and saw Argonaut head up the step's, he was ready to fight and got his gear ready and charged at the floor boss, Bell used his speed to easily dough the attacks and put a hit in on the shoulder blade and used that as a target to get rid of his arm and after a while he finally got the hit's in enough for it to fall to the ground unable to sustain itself, when the arm fell, Bell was confident that he would win, until muscles came out the arm and hooked itself onto its shoulder and began to pull back together.
Argonaut:" what the, oh no, it's a regeneration type monster"
Ais:" this didn't happen when I fought it, and even then, I couldn't beat it on my own"
Finn:" this one is different, definitely stronger than the one Ais fought back then"
Asfi:" just like the black Goliath me and a few others faced on the 18th floor"
Argonaut:" I heard of that, Bell put the finishing blow after a massive attack, but only barely"
than the Udaeus sunk itself into the ground, having the rock's and Jem's around be absorbed into its body and form a giant snake-like lamia that than pulled out a sword bigger and more radiant with much more power than the sword that the Udaeus Ais fought against had, but that wasn't all, it now had a shield with similar power radiating off it and armor on as well, this was what will be called.
Bell:" a Black Udaeus"
