Chapter 83 Preparation and Play
--
Later that evening, Dabi sat in his small room, surrounded by books, notes, and scrolls.
Each page contained theories and formulas, intricate diagrams, and complex mana calculations.
Dabi had a unique gift a photographic memory.
Dabi could remember everything he saw with perfect clarity, every fact and every theory, as if the pages were imprinted in his mind.
But despite his talent, Dabi struggled with understanding.
"I can memorize it all," he murmured, "but understanding the reasoning… that's what's difficult."
He rubbed his temples, staring at a diagram illustrating the flow of elemental magic through a mana core.
"It's not just about remembering. I have to know why it works this way."
He leaned back, closing his eyes, and let his mind process the information he'd absorbed.
He visualized the energy, the way mana pulsed and flowed, and mentally traced the connections.
In his mind's eye, the theories began to take shape as something more than just words on a page; they became real. Explore more adventures at empire
"Magic isn't just about strength," he whispered to himself. "It's about precision, control, and understanding."
Hours passed as he pieced everything together, connecting ideas, unraveling the mysteries behind each concept.
He knew the exams were fast approaching, and he wasn't going to let anything distract him.
The determination in his eyes reflected a silent promise to himself. He wouldn't just pass this exam he would excel.
As midnight approached, Dabi decided it was time for a break.
He stretched, feeling the ache in his muscles from sitting for so long, and looked out the small window of his room.
The city lights glowed in the distance, and the faint sounds of music and laughter drifted through the air.
It seemed that the entire city was still celebrating the Awakening Ceremony, but he was content to stay where he was.
With a sigh, he turned his attention to something else his status window.
He closed his eyes and focused, and within seconds, a familiar blue screen appeared before him.
Name: Dabi
Level: 77
Class: Sovereign of Space (Mythical Class)
Strength: 116
Agility: 120 (+10 from the ring)
Endurance: 108
Intelligence: 83
Mana: 1000
Memory: 59
He studied his stats, his eyes lingering on the Mana stat.
"1000 Mana… not bad," he thought, smiling to himself.
He'd worked hard to reach this level of control. Each point in Mana had been earned through grueling training and practice, and he was proud of the progress he'd made.
"Still," he muttered, "there's always room for improvement.
" His smile faded as he glanced out the window again. "
The exam's not going to be easy. I need to practice more."
With a determined look, he grabbed his pets Fen, the mischievous baby Fenrir with bright,
curious eyes; Whity, the elegant white tiger who exuded calm strength; and
Nyx, the silent, mysterious void spirit. Together, they headed out to the yard behind his house.
In the yard, Dabi sat cross-legged on the ground, his pets gathered around him, watching him with a mixture of curiosity and loyalty.
The night air was cool and crisp, and the sky above was dotted with stars.
He took a deep breath, feeling the familiar warmth of mana stirring within him.
Slowly, he directed the flow of energy through his body, visualizing it as a river coursing from his core to his fingertips.
"Focus," he whispered to himself. His voice was soft, almost like a mantra.
He could feel the energy pulse, steady and strong, as he refined his control over it, making it smoother, more efficient.
As he was lost in concentration, a familiar voice broke the silence.
"Dabi!" his younger sister Mira called out, her voice bright and full of excitement.
"Are you playing with Fen, Whity, and Nyx without us?"
Dabi opened his eyes, smiling as he saw Mira and his little brother Eli standing at the edge of the yard, watching him with wide, eager eyes.
"Play? I'm not playing," he said, raising an eyebrow, though a hint of amusement danced in his eyes.
Eli, his little brother, grinned. "Come on, Dabi, we know you're practicing," he said, rolling his eyes. "But can't we join? It looks like fun!"
Dabi chuckled, looking at his siblings with a fond smile.
He could have explained the seriousness of his training, but seeing their enthusiasm made him reconsider.
"Alright, you two," he said with a grin. "Let's play."
The kids' eyes lit up, and they ran to join him, laughing as they each took turns playing with the pets.
Fen barked playfully, running circles around Eli, while Whity let Mira pet her fur, purring contentedly.
Nyx, the void spirit, hovered around them, silently watching, occasionally nudging Mira's hand with curiosity.
For the next hour, the yard was filled with the sound of laughter and joy as the three siblings and their spirit pets played together, racing, tumbling, and sharing stories.
For a moment, Dabi felt the weight of his responsibilities lift.
He was no longer the serious student or the determined warrior he was just a brother, having fun with his family.
As the hour drew to a close, Dabi glanced at the time and sighed.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"Alright, you two," he said, ruffling Eli's hair. "It's time for bed.
You both have school in the morning."
Mira groaned. "But Dabi, we were just starting to have fun!"
Dabi laughed. "And if you don't go to bed, you won't have any energy to play tomorrow," he teased, giving her a gentle push towards the house.
Eli pouted but nodded, yawning as he followed his sister.
"Fine… but you'll train with us tomorrow, right?"
Dabi smiled, feeling a warm sense of affection for his siblings. "I promise. Tomorrow, we'll train together."
As they walked back to the house, Mira glanced back at him, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.
"Dabi… do you think I'll have a Mythical Class like you when I awaken?"
Dabi paused, considering her question. He knelt down, looking her in the eyes.
"Mira, it doesn't matter what class you get," he said gently.
"What matters is what you do with it. Even if you don't awaken with a powerful class, you'll still be strong if you work hard."
Mira looked thoughtful, nodding as she processed his words. "I'll work hard, just like you, Dabi."
He felt a swell of pride, hugging her briefly before sending her inside.
As he watched his siblings disappear into the house,
