Dimension System: SSS Rank Talent Awakening

---

Dabi wakes up with Clada still nearby.

He feels the lingering energy from his last summon but knows that for the safety of both Eli and Mira, he needs a second guardian spirit.

He readies himself, and Clada instructs him on focusing his mana and using summoning techniques that will connect him to the spirit world once more.

Dabi took a deep breath, feeling the residual energy from his last summoning. Clada hovered nearby, observing him with quiet interest.

Summoning Clada had been a draining process, both physically and mentally, but Dabi was determined.

He knew that both his siblings needed equal protection, and for that, he would summon a second guardian spirit.

"Are you ready to summon another guardian?" Clada asked, his voice resonating with a calm authority.

Dabi nodded. "Yes. I have two siblings Eli and Mira. You must took care of Eli, but Mira needs her own guardian protector, someone who can stay by her side."

Clada's eyes softened in approval. "Good. Then let's proceed. I will assist you in this summoning, which should make the connection smoother.

When you open the summoning gate, I'll use my magic to help you connect directly to the spirit Guardian world.

Focus deeply and maintain your intent let the creature know you seek an ally, not a servant."

Dabi closed his eyes, centering his focus as he allowed his mana to surge through him, filling the room with a faint, warm glow.

He felt Clada's energy meld with his own, guiding him through the summoning process. A portal began to swirl in the center of the room, vibrant and alive with colors that seemed to defy earthly description.

As the portal grew, the image of a new creature became visible through the shimmering gate.

At first, the form was indistinct, like a shadow against swirling light, but gradually it took shape a figure cloaked in blue mist, with a pair of keen, intense eyes that gleamed like icy fire.

The energy radiating from this spirit was sharp and intense, different from Clada's calm aura.

However, as soon as the creature realized it was being drawn from its realm, it let out a low, rumbling growl, its body tensing. Read latest stories on empire

Without warning, it lunged forward, the mist around it thickening as it aimed a powerful strike at Dabi.

Dabi reacted instinctively, raising a shield around himself just in time to deflect the attack. The impact of the spirit's strike against his shield sent a shockwave through the room, knocking over a few items nearby.

"Hold on!" Clada's voice cut through the chaos. He stepped forward, reaching out to calm the new spirit. "Minada, steady yourself! This is no ambush; you were summoned here to form an alliance."

The spirit, a striking figure with features that resembled a shadowed warrior, paused, her eyes narrowing.

She seemed to register Clada's presence, then her gaze shifted to Dabi, assessing him with a wary intensity.

"You pulled me from my realm without warning," Minada said, her voice low and laced with a chilling anger. "Why?"

Dabi took a step forward, lowering his shield but keeping his posture guarded. "I summoned you to offer an alliance, not to force your hand.

My name is Dabi, and I am the Sovereign of Space. I seek a guardian for my sister, someone strong and reliable. If you agree, we'll form a contract of mutual respect and loyalty."

Minada's piercing gaze studied Dabi for a long moment, as though she were weighing his words.

Her presence was formidable, every part of her aura hinting at untamed power and a fierce spirit.

Clada stepped in, speaking softly to Minada, "Dabi is trustworthy, and he speaks the truth. I've already formed a contract with him. He respects our independence and values our power. I can vouch for his integrity."

Minada's posture relaxed slightly, though her gaze remained intense. "A contract, you say?" She looked at Dabi. "What would this alliance bring me? How will it be good for me ?"

Dabi met her gaze, unflinching. "In return for your protection, I will help you grow stronger. You'll have the opportunity to hone your skills and expand your power.

I won't treat you as a servant but as a partner, and when the time comes, I promise to aid in your own goals, whatever they may be."

Minada crossed her arms, considering his offer. "I will accept," she said finally, her voice like ice over steel. "But only under one condition: that you fulfill your promise when I ask you to help me grow stronger. You'll help me, no matter the cost."

Dabi nodded. "Agreed. When the time comes, I will honor our pact."

Minada extended her hand, and Dabi reached out, placing his hand in hers.

The room filled with a powerful surge of energy as soon as Dabi use Universal Contract skills and the contract was sealed, and a faint glow marked both their hands, signifying the bond. When the light faded, Minada took a step back, nodding in acknowledgment.

"Then we are bound," she said, her voice steady. "I am Minada, and I will serve as guardian to your sister."

Dabi smiled, relieved. "Thank you, Minada."

The commotion of the summoning had stirred the house, and it wasn't long before Eli and Mira appeared at the doorway, their eyes wide with curiosity and excitement.

"Dabi, who is this?" Mira asked, her gaze shifting from Clada to Minada with awe.

Dabi smiled, gesturing toward the two spirits. "These are Clada and Minada. They're guardian spirits I've summoned for you two. Clada will protect Eli, and Minada will look after you, Mira."

Both siblings looked thrilled, their excitement practically radiating off them. Mira's eyes sparkled as she approached Minada, who studied her with a gentle but slightly reserved expression.

"You'll be taking care of me?" Mira asked, her voice filled with wonder.

Minada gave a small, respectful nod. "Yes. I will watch over you and teach you things as well if you're willing to learn."

Mira nodded eagerly, practically bouncing with enthusiasm. Eli, not to be left out, looked up at Clada with equal admiration.

"Will you teach me magic too?" Eli asked, his voice filled with hopeful curiosity.

Clada chuckled warmly. "Of course. Guardian spirits like us are well-versed in magic. We can teach you the basics, theory, and concepts. You'll be able to grow under our guidance."

Dabi's heart swelled with pride as he watched the interactions. He had been worried about his siblings' safety, but with Clada and Minada by their sides, he knew they would be well-protected and nurtured.

"Breakfast is ready!" Dabi announced, and they all made their way to the dining area, laughter and conversation filling the air.

After breakfast, Dabi left for his class. He knew his siblings were in safe hands with Clada and Minada, who would also help teach them some basic magic concepts. Reaching the academy grounds, he found his classmates gathered for combat training.

Professor Farak Ferrin addressed the group with his usual confident tone. "Today marks the beginning of your combat training. Your task is to clear a mid-level training dimension gate as a team."

Students exchanged glances, some looking anxious, others eager.

Farak continued, "You'll form teams for this exercise, but I've already chosen the members for a particular team. Dabi and Zen, step forward."

Dabi and Zen exchanged surprised looks, both aware that they usually worked independently due to their strength. Nonetheless, they stepped forward, waiting for the rest of their team to be announced.

"Since you two are among our top students, you'll be paired with two first-years to guide them. You'll be their leaders for this exercise."

Dabi raised an eyebrow, slightly taken aback. "First-years?"

The professor nodded. "Yes. This will be an excellent opportunity for you to mentor and observe. The two first-years are exceptionally talented, and it's our goal to nurture them for next year's tournament."

Farak turned to signal the first-years, and two familiar faces emerged Kiba and Jeni. Kiba greeted Dabi with a respectful nod, saying, "I'll be in your care."

Jeni, however, looked at her older brother, Zen, with a mischievous glint. "Guess what, big brother? I'm your responsibility now!" She then blushed slightly, sneaking a glance at Dabi. "Hi, Dabi."

Dabi simply smiled, amused by Jeni's antics, and Zen chuckled, shaking his head. "Oh, this is going to be interesting," Zen muttered.

With everyone in place, Farak gave the final instructions, explaining that they would navigate a complex mid-level dimension gate with multiple obstacles and various types of elemental creatures.

"You're expected to lead them, not just in combat, but in strategy," Farak said to Dabi and Zen. "They're talented but inexperienced. Guide them well."

The four of them moved toward the gate, Dabi's heart racing with anticipation. This was his first time leading a group like this, and while he knew he could handle himself, guiding others was a new challenge.

They arrived at the entrance to the dimension gate, an ethereal portal shimmering with a faint glow, casting an otherworldly light over the group.

Zen took a deep breath, a confident smirk on his face. Kiba and Jeni looked both excited and nervous.

"Ready?" Dabi asked, his voice steady.

The three of them nodded, determination in their eyes. Together, they stood at the threshold of the gate, ready to step into the unknown....
