"Especially if using monster senses to find the core turns out to be more than a freak one-off."

"I think I'd expect it to work maybe... five to thirty percent of the time, but that's a pretty wide spread."

"And even five percent of the time is potentially a lot! There are more than twenty dungeons it would be inconvenient to call Columba in on where finding the core is non-trivial!"

"Yeah, you'll have an important niche in big dungeons like that, Columba burns out too fast to get anywhere in a dungeon that's been around more than twice."

"I really hope that someday we will be able to talk to dungeons and my ability to learn things about animal senses will be more exciting than my ability to locate dungeon cores, but wow, I love my power."

"You got very lucky with it!"

“I got so lucky with it. I’m generally glad we don’t use the ranking system they do in east Asia but I have to admit I’m sort of curious how they’d rate me. Not that I’m going to try to find out.”

"It's not entirely about the quality of the power, they also factor in backlash accumulation rates and tactical skill."

“Tactical skill will improve with time, but I was also thinking of the fact that I have a less debilitating backlash than many.”

"You do! I can ask a contact in Asia how they'd guess your rank would come out if you want."

“I think I should not do that because if I ask only because I expect to get a flattering answer, and then I get a less flattering answer than I’d hoped for, I expect to be disappointed, and I don’t endorse that.”

"Fair enough."

“I read a book one time that had the quote, ‘egalitarians adjust to aristocracies just fine, as long as they get to be the aristocrats.’ Buying into the ranking system only if I get to be high rank would be aesthetically offensive at best, and I know I don’t want to buy in if I would be low-ranked. So.”

"The guy I had in mind to ask told me I'd be a B with June, but that I could probably swing an A if I had a higher bandwidth partner." Squeeze.

“Well, you do have one of those now.”

"I do!"

Would he like some further demonstration of high guiding bandwidth.

Oh now that she mentions it that sounds great.
