Chapter 250: Chapter 250 Dungeon Exploring.
The first floor of the dungeon in Italy was nothing of what Soma had experienced. The dungeon he visited was a stone corridor with a complicated path like a maze to prevent the intruder from diving deeper.
However, the dungeon in front of him was different. It has a vast space with a high ceiling, moss, and a chunk of tiny crystal buried within the dungeon wall, letting out a light to give the place a look.
The first thing they did was search for a corner place, far away from the other people's eyes, to change.
Inside the tent where all the girls in Soma's group were changing clothes, they started to chat merrily, comparing who's the cutest underwear or whose breasts were bigger and softer. All sorts of stuff that will make every youngster who hears it would have a nosebleed imagining it.
[Extra Skill Puppeteer activated]
Soma also, without exception. He activated the skill to the max, keeping his external expression in check. He decided not to change his clothes because he already wears pretty comfortable clothes.
Initially, Hina and Xiao Lian also have no desire to change, but after Serafina's persistence, they finally give up and change into other clothes. Do they bring any spare clothes in the first place?
"Thanks for the wait".
"...".
The first one to come out was Hina with Xiao Lian.
"...Why uniform?".
Soma, who awaited their change outside, pondered what sort of clothes they would choose, but it was none other than the Academy uniform.
"What's wrong with it? Despite their look, these clothes have a good resistance toward physical and magical attack".
"Yes, I know that, but…".
As Serafina had said, the academy uniform was enhanced with many features, such as resistance regarding physical attacks and magic. But that resistance was not impenetrable. For example, if the one who hurt them were a Rank-A monster or above, their clothes would be torn.
This sort of thing made the Academy uniforms a top pick when the students tried to explore the dungeon. The uniforms were practical and gave other people an image that they were students from the prestigious Hero Academy.
"...Whatever, let's go! Where is Miss Violet?".
"Violet still inside, for her costume was a bit troublesome to change".
Lucy stood beside Serafina and informed him.
"Sorry for the wait".
Violet, who came out last, was different. She wore a tight black suit that emphasized her curves. She also wore some protection on her chest and joint area but used only leather. Despite the appearance, Soma could feel that her suit was very good and made from high-quality monster hide.
"Why are you staring at her?".
"Nothing, I seemed to recall something unimportant, let's go!".
After brushing Serafina's mischievous attempt, Soma asked the other for their confirmation, to which they then replied with a nod. With swift and trained hands, Violet folded the tents before putting it inside her storage item.
Thus, the six of them began their exploration in the Colosseum dungeon. Still, on the first floor, there is nothing noteworthy to consider. They decide to go to the second floor through the stairs.
Soma, who led in front, witnessed the same structure and build of the space, but the difference is there is a bipedal monster made entirely out of stone standing while swinging its heavy arm toward the awakeners who confront it.
"So it was a golem?".
From what he knew, Golem was a Rank-D monster with a huge boulder body that moved autonomously using the core within its deep chest. The golem's body can also have another form, depending on the rank.
They resume their exploration to search for an unoccupied enemy. Then, after searching for a couple of minutes, they found a golem standing two meters tall, walking aimlessly with a thud in the corner of the room.
Without a word, Soma rushed forward and arrived in front of the golem in a blink. He clenched his right fist before thrusting it toward the golem's chest. The boulder got blasted to bits, giving him experience points and dropping a green mana core.

Soma disclosed his status and discovered that the rise was not too significant. He also realized that he was undergoing a wall that he must pass to level up and learn new techniques from the Martial Saint.
"Geez, why did you run off alone?".
"How was it, Soma?".
"It seemed easy to defeat, for you".
"Strong".
"...".
As usual, Serafina grumbled in disapproval of Soma's action. Hina and Xiao Liam, with fixed gazes, asked him in a serious manner. Lucy was astonished as she saw her junior in high regard. Only Violet, who knew his identity, her face turned stiff. There was slight fear and relief mixed with her sigh.
"...Everyone, I have a suggestion!".
"?!".
***
"I swear, That boy!".
Serafina's group, who was being left by Soma, is currently loitering around the second floor. As suggested by Soma earlier, they decided to act separately.
The first team was Soma alone. He was rushing ahead without any concerns from everyone, but Hina at least told him not to act recklessly, which is impossible, considering his track record. The second team was the girls, led by Serafina, and had been asked by Soma to let Hina and Xiao Lian receive experience in this place.
Of course, the Seniors and Violet, who were much stronger, will help them if the situation gets worse.
They were still on the second floor looking for another unoccupied Golem, and not long after, they found two golems that fit their description.
"Hina, Xiao Lian, can you guys handle that?".
"Yes, I'm ready. Senior, Sera".
"Mm, ready".
"Go ahead, defeat those things, maintain focus, and be cautious, always!".
The two juniors nodded before simultaneously dropping their stance and rushing forward. Hina dealt with the golem on the left and Xiao Lian on the right.
They brandish their Legend-grade weapon, gleaming within the dim room, showing its sharpness.
Hina and Xiao Lian, first and foremost, try to take down the golem at the same eye level as them. Usually, the golem's body boasted a hardness that couldn't be breached easily by random weapons, but the two girls were special
With a swing from a Katana and thrust from the spear, the two golems' stances crumbled as they dropped to the floor.
Using her Hagoromo, Hina jumped to the sky, and Xiao Lian leaped to the back.
As the two of them found out where the golem always kept their core, they launched their move and then destroyed the golem core, leaving only two green mana cores on the floor.
[You gained Exp!]
Serafina and Lucy, who witnessed it, couldn't help but feel envy for the growth and possession of the current first-year students. There are quite many anomalies in the new generation.
"They defeated it so easily. Well, it was already a checkmate with that weapon in their hands".
"Still in the first year and that power, woah".
With a dry laugh from Serafina and an amazed sigh from Lucy, they both approached their juniors, who seemed to be collecting their haul.
"How was it, Hina and Xiao Lian?".
"Well, that was hardly a challenge, but all of that was thanks to our equipment".
"Mm, without it, we will be completely obliterated".
A calm and rational opinion from their Junior brings some light to Serafina's mind. She felt a bit happy because they still realized their weakness and were aware of the equipment's power on their hands.
"Then what do we do? Continue?".
"Yes, please".
"Mm, please".
"Don't worry guys, if anything gets hurt. I will heal you with my magic".
With Lucy's cheer, the two juniors nod in resolute eyes before continuing their hunting. "Soma, your girls are doing great here. I wonder what you have been doing now?". Serafina muttered, looking at the back figure of the two juniors in front of her, brimming with fighting spirit. Chasing after the boy who reached far ahead.
