Chapter 45 - Chapter 45 – Tiona and Tione’s Invitation

Strength: A873 → S999 │ Endurance: A854 → S999 │ Dexterity: B792 → S901 │ Agility: B783 → S933 │ Magic: I0

The first to update her Status was Tiona. The moment she received her sheet from Loki, her face lit up with pure excitement. She hadn't even bothered to fix her chest wrap yet—she just jumped straight onto Tsuna's back with the paper still in hand.

"Tsuna, Tsuna! Look at my stats!"

Tsuna froze for half a second as Tiona clung to him, then glanced at the paper she shoved into his face.

"Level 4? So you and Tione are both Level 4 now?"

"Yup!" Tiona grinned proudly. "We joined the Loki Familia two years ago, back when we were Level 3. After a few big battles and a great achievement, we finally got the chance to level up. Took us about a year… maybe a little more."

Her legs wrapped loosely around his waist as she used her freed hands to fix her chest wrap, leaning forward so her arms rested over his shoulders. Excitedly, she pointed at her own stats on the parchment.

"My Strength and Endurance were stuck at A for the longest time. I thought they'd never move again—but thanks to your gear, I actually hit S-rank, even maxed out both! Seriously, thank you."

"That's not my achievement," Tsuna said. "You're the one who put in the effort. I just gave you a way to push your limits."

"Don't be so modest. You made this possible."

Tiona knew full well how impossible it was to hit the cap of 999 through normal means. No matter how hard she trained or how deep she dove into the Dungeon, she'd never managed to break past that wall. Not enough pressure, not strong enough monsters, limited potential—all of it held her back.

But the Gravity Bracelet he'd made changed everything. The moment it activated, her strength drained instantly, her whole body straining under the crushing weight. It was brutal—far worse than she'd imagined. But the next day, every movement felt lighter, faster. The results were undeniable. That constant, tangible progress was what kept her going.

And in the end, she'd broken through limits she once thought unreachable. Every stat except her nonexistent magic had hit S-rank. There was no way that was just her own hard work.

"You're right about that," said Tione, who had just finished putting on her chest wrap. She walked over, holding her own updated Status sheet.

Strength: A823 → S999 │ Endurance: B768 → S999 │ Dexterity: B783 → S902 │ Agility: B783 → S906 │ Magic: G223 → G226

Tione's stats were just as maxed out. Tsuna glanced over them—her specialties mirrored her sister's. Tiona had slightly higher Dexterity and Agility, while Tione had at least a bit of Magic to back her up. Either way, both had reached their peak.

"Our growth's basically hit its limit," Tione said evenly. "Now all Tiona and I need is another great achievement to reach Level 5. Normally we'd take some time to stabilize before that, but honestly, I'm already certain we're ready."

She had no plans to boost her Magic further—it wasn't her focus anyway. Her spells were mostly binding-type magic, nothing like Riveria's destructive power. She rarely used it outside of combat practice. At this point, all she needed was that one big accomplishment.

"Right, Tsuna—do you have time later?" Tione asked. "You mentioned new defensive gear earlier. If you can, could you make some for us too?"

"Sure, no problem."

"Perfect. Then Loki, we're borrowing Tsuna for a bit."

Loki waved them off lazily. "Go, go. Just don't stay up too late. Tomorrow's the expedition."

"Got it!"

Tiona hopped off Tsuna's back, grabbed his arm, and practically dragged him toward the door. Tione followed behind, nudging them along until all three disappeared from Loki's office.

The Hiryute sisters shared a room in the Familia's quarters. As twin amazonesses, it made perfect sense—they were blood sisters and practically inseparable. Living together never caused any problems; their shared culture and habits made things easy.

After a few turns down the corridor, Tiona stopped in front of a large door.

"Tada~ this is our room!" she announced proudly, pushing the door open and tugging Tsuna inside.

The space was surprisingly big—about the size of Finn's office—but much more lived-in. A quick glance around told Tsuna plenty: underwear casually tossed on the floor, a massive double-bladed weapon hanging on the wall, four or five curved swords beside it, and several ridiculously heavy-looking dumbbells resting underneath. He was pretty sure even a world champion weightlifter couldn't move those things.

"Disappointed?" Tione asked with a faint smirk. "Our room's nothing like Riveria's."

"Not at all. Just… different. I've never been inside a girl's room before."

"Oh? Then you can come hang out here anytime," Tiona said cheerfully.

Tione rolled her eyes but didn't object.

"So, Tsuna," she asked, "how do you want to make the armor? Do we need to take measurements or something?"

"No need for that," Tsuna replied. "My ability isn't based on craftsmanship—it's on imagination. If you give me your usual outfits, I can recreate them using Shroud of Saint Remains as the base material."

"Got it. Wait here."

Tione quickly opened her wardrobe and pulled out a few of their usual battle outfits—along with Tiona's.

Both sets were, unsurprisingly, revealing. Wild and practical, just like any amazoness's attire.

Tsuna gave them a glance and nodded slightly. Then, focusing his power, he began crafting new garments patterned after their usual style—woven from the material of the Shroud of Saint Remains.
