Shield and Spear, Travelling the Sea
Oncethey had gone inside, Ad told Hestia that it would be best if the couple took a bath before receiving any Falna. The Goddess blushed slightly upong realizing that her excitement got the best of her, so she harrumphed and took the couple to the bathroom.
After they had a lengthy bath, in which Ad decided to ignore whatever could've happened, the couple returned to the living room in regular clothes. Ad left the room for Keeva to receive her Falna. From inside the room, he could hear some gasps of shock and Eoghan chuckling playfully. He was called into the room by Hestia, and he was shown Keeva's stats.
[Name: Keeva Shannon
Level: 1
Strength: E- 416
Endurance: D - 520
Dexterity: B - 759
Agility: B - 701
Magic: A – 870
Innate Skills:
·Croí Uisce (Water Core): The user has a deep affinity with water. Whenever the user is close to the element, be it artificial, magically created or natural, the user's spells' power will be increased.
Skills:
Magic:
·Muir Dhomhain (Deep Sea): The user creates two spheres of water. One surrounds the user and acts as a protective barrier. The other encases the enemy and creates a torrent of bladed waves on its inside.
Chant: "Lord under the sea. A mirror that reflects truth. Show my enemies your rage. Expel the impure from my domain. The pressure of your home does not affect my will. The formless existence that brings life. Protect my body with your silent love; attack my enemies with your roaring anger."
·Aoire Uisce (Water Whip): Creates a whip of water that the user can wield as an actual whip. Since it is made of the user's Mana, the whip will move to the user's wish.
Chant: "Grant me a weapon to slay my enemies, oh sea of calmness. Water, you who are everywhere and in everyone, come forth!"
Development Skills:
Adalwulf: A magician through and through. Now I don't have to worry about monsters with resistance to physical attacks.
Keeva: I'm glad that my presence will bring something useful to the Familia.
Eoghan: Isn't my wife awesome? Hehe.
Adalwulf: She is, indeed. Well, it's your turn now, Eoghan.
After that, Eoghan took off his armour and shirt. His muscled body was there for everyone to appreciate, and even Ad had to admit that he kind of envied him. Thought that feeling was replaced by pride, since the girls didn't feel even an ounce of amazement or embarrassment. It would seem like they only had eyes for him.
The process of bestowing a Falna was quite simple, and it was done smoothly. Eoghan's stats didn't really surprise them, as it was sort of what they were expecting.
[Name: Eoghan Shannon
Level: 1
Strength: B - 759
Endurance: A - 870
Dexterity: B - 701
Agility: D - 520
Magic: E – 416
Innate Skills:
·Cruach Cosanta (Protective Steel): The user picks the attention of the enemies towards himself, making them attack him under any circumstance. This skill also increases the user's Endurance.
·Údarás Cosanta (Authority of Defence): This skill negates all damage done to an ally and redirects it to the user. If the user's Endurance Ability is higher than the damage done, the damage is neglected. If they are equal, the damage is halved. And if the damage is higher, the user received the full brunt of it.

Development Skills:
Natsuki: Well, now you won't have to charge head on, Ad.
Iman: Darling! You won't be in so much danger now!
Adalwulf: I'll have to thank you beforehand, Eoghan. You'll allow me to hit even harder.
The man in question just smiled sheepishly and scratched the back of his head. As confident as he was, it felt weird to be praised over something he still hadn't done. His wife, on the other hand, felt proud of the man she had chosen for herself.
Adalwulf: Well, now that the mandatory evaluation and Falna bestowal are done... its time to celebrate!
To Ad's words, everyone in the group cheered happily, Hestia being the loudest. They decided to go to Hibachitei, as they had just eaten and having a drink was a very good thing once in a while.
*
Upon the groups arrival, the bar fell silent for a moment. The customers stared at the group as if trying to see through their souls. After a few seconds of awkward silence, one of the older people laughed boisterously.
???: But if it isn't the new rising stars! Welcome to Hibachitei, Hestia Familia! Today'd drinks are all on me!
It turned out that the man who cheered for them was none other than the owner of the establishment, Hector Fuerte, also known as Granpa Hector by the customers.
That night was one of pure enjoyment. A few musicians were playing their instruments to create a lively atmosphere, and the customers were singing a few pieces that most Adventurers knew. The combination of the instruments with the chorus formed by everyone was a scene that, in Ad's mind, could only be seen in a place like Orario.
Soon, he also joined the fun, being readily followed by Iman. Then the couple followed suit, adding themselves to the mass. Hestia was dead drunk on their table, while Natsuki seemed to be tipsy. Ad thought that it might've been a wrong idea to bring those two, but in the end he was swooped again by the mood.
From that night, the people at the bar would remember a silver haired boy, dancing on top of one of the tables with a loli Goddess.
