Relative to other Adventurers of the Loki Familia, Line could be considered as a new mber. And since this was also the first Familia she joined, she only ever knew about them before being pulled to the Hestia Familia's side. In addition to the rarity of healers themselves and her mindset of not settling for being average, the only healer she had ever known is the one considered as the greatest, Airmid Teasanare, the Captain of the Dian Cecht Familia despite only being a Level 2.
Because of Airmid's existence, Line made her the goal that she wanted to surpass. So when she saw that everyone was so surprised that she was able to heal Ottar faster than an Elixir could, Line beca confused, 'Airmid-san could also do the sa thing and I could and even concoct the highest level potions with ease that I can't do. What are they so surprised about?'
She too, from the start, was a little bit disconnected from reality, making her a good match for the Hestia Familia.
Everyone was surprised, not just because of her healing ability, but also the sheer number of tis she could do it. For the record, Airmid could only heal faster than Elixirs a few tis before Mind Down took over.
Finn waved his hand down and interrupted them, "This is neither the ti nor place to discuss that. What's important is that she can definitely resolve our biggest problem now. With this, we only have to depend on the Dian Cecht Familia for anti-curse potions."
Though not very often, Curse Magic still existed for so monsters. And even if it's easy to avoid with the right tactics and knowledge, mistakes and accidents still happen. But if the group could ease their reliance on Elixirs, it would reduce their need for a resupply and they wouldn't have to send out a group of elites as many tis as they would've before.
"Uhmm..." Line raised her hand, "If it's Curse Magic, as long as it's the basic ones, I can also take care of it, the basic and interdiate levels at least."
"Y-you can?", even Finn was almost rendered speechless, "Did you develop a skill for it?"
For the record, the number of people who could actually cure curses could be counted on one hand in the entirety of Orario, and only Airmid could apply such effect to the potions with her 'Mystery' ability, making it highly sought after as there were a lot of criminals and evil oriented Familias that could use Curse Magic.
To his question that everyone thought would get a positive answer however, instead received a shaking head, "Skill? No. I haven't received anything along those lines."
"Then how?" Riveria asked with great curiosity. Out of all the Magic-related studies she'd gone through, Curse Magic was one of those she hasn't touched yet because of the lack of knowledge and information surrounding it.
Line, in response, beca excited because it was also an interesting topic for her, "Fundantally,Curse Magic is just a bundle of tangled Magic Power that was sent to the target to disrupt the flow of various energies in the affected area. Because of that, the most common effect of Curse Magic is an 'unhealable' wound. But with enough Magic control, you can actually untangle and safely expel this foreign Magic Power safely, effectively resolving the Curse. However, this is only true for the basic and interdiate levels of such Magic. For advanced and beyond, Serafall-san said that the Magic itself would form a will and would actively avoid any attempts to dispel it."
"...What about the Curse Magic of Barca Perdix's weapons that Evilus used last ti? What's their level?" asked Finn with a serious expression. After all, those were the worst Curse Magic that they'd encountered, 'There hasn't been any proposed standard for Curse Magic and if those are advanced level, then Airmid's value would skyrocket in the coming months.'
"Those? They were of the basic level... Maybe a tiny bit better. With my current abilities, I can erase their effects within 3 seconds. And if the sa Curse is applied across multiple people, I can also remove it in groups by just adding a few more seconds."
The room beca quiet and it was only Finn's sigh that could be heard along with him rubbing his forehead. So as to not allow her further ti to say sothing even more ridiculous, Finn decided to put an end to it, "We would be thankful for your assistance to the expedition. If there's sothing you need, you can ask Riveria for anything specific." After all, Line is still their mber and they didn't want her to spill too much of the precious information she had to other rival Familias.
Turning to the last person who entered, Finn asked, after sizing up the strange Amazoness, "And this is?"
dusa was disappointed that Finn still thought about their own gain instead of working with the others. Nevertheless, she also understood where he was coming from and didn't think much about it, "This is Tenestra, from the Dizara Region. She's studying Magic along with Line."
The Amazoness that everyone thought was strange because she was wearing an attire that could be compared to that of Elves stepped up and eagerly introduced herself, "It's very nice to et everyone~! I'm Tenestra of the Astarte Familia. The leader of the Magic Research Corps... Though there's only and the other two people in it. Anyway, I hope you don't mind hopping onto the wave you're all riding~"
Finn nodded, "As long as you follow our lead, we greatly appreciate a helping hand."
"Then that settles it. Since I don't have anything else to add, I'll be taking my leave." dusa promptly expressed her decision to leave and no one was able to stop her from leaving.
Finn wanted to ask her a few more things, but it was plain for all to see that she didn't exactly want to deal with them so he held back, "eting adjourned. Any issues that will co up, don't hesitate to bring them up."

On the 65th floor, Yoruichi and Serafall overlooked a jungle several tis larger than Orario and the source of this jungle was five Demi-Spirits being fed by an almost uncountable number of caterpillar monsters.
"There's no way for them to tackle this, is there?" Serafall asked while trying to gauge the abilities of these Demi-Spirits.
"If they put their minds and body to it, along with the appropriate tactics, they should be able to. The problem is the subsequent floors. If they're here with these numbers, chances are that the Monster Rex on the 67th floor was also taken over. I'm afraid that thing would be the equivalent to a High-Class Devil and bordering Ultimate-Class. They'll be wiped out within a few moves." replied Yoruichi.
"If such a thing really exists here, but that Black Dragon in the records is most probably of Ultimate Class... How the hell did the inhabitants of this world fend that off if they were this weak?"
"With numbers, obviously. The ones who led them, from my estimation, were also a Level 9, bordering the highest at Level 10."
"Just what are these levels? From Levels 1-7, it's almost nothing special, but once soone steps into Level 8, it becos a totally different thing."
Yoruichi shook her head, "I don't really know, but it's a topic that Kisuke was already investigating. We'll probably hear from him about it in these coming days, if not weeks. Though, if I were to guess, it's probably so sort of evolution. This is probably the reason why Ottar has been a peak Level 7 for the longest ti without any signs of Leveling up. Just Exelia isn't enough anymore."
"Sounds really useful. Then why did you stop Sona-chan and the rest from going beyond Level 3?"
"Aside from not knowing what sort of effect it'd have for aliens like us, it's pretty useful for Magic practice. They are probably struggling right now, but once they've returned or the restrictions of this world are disabled, they'll probably have the sa output as an Ultimate-Class, if not stronger, and control of a veteran, if not better."
At that mont, dusa landed behind them, "I'm sorry for being late. It took more ti to test my abilities out inside the Dungeon than I'd thought."
