Dimension System: SSS Rank Talent Awakening

Chapter 125 Invitation From Royal

---

Dabi going to Astral Heaven Academy to meet with Headmaster Raghnall Ferrin, intrigued by what the headmaster might have to share something important and about the upcoming auction.

Entering the headmaster's grand office, Dabi noticed the weight of concern on Raghnall's face.

The headmaster gestured for Dabi to sit, pausing briefly before speaking.

"Dabi," Raghnall began, "there's something important you need to know regarding the auction.

The government is curious, even suspicious, about the origins of the legendary items that will be available.

They've pressed me to disclose the source, and… to put it bluntly, this could bring trouble your way."

Dabi's eyes narrowed. "Why would the government care so much?"

Raghnall sighed. There's was no legendary item auction happens in past fifty years.

Other than government, Only Nobel and royal family have legendary items. They want to know which family is putting the item for auction.

They don't have any records of the Heart of eternity and mermaid tears belong to any Nobel of royal family.

They think some other kingdom might be behind it. Although I am saint but I have to follow the rule.

I can tell them about the origin of the legendary item, But the problem is - "For many in the government, their position isn't just about serving the people but advancing their own influence.

They think about benefiting their Nobel family. If they find out that you a commoner, no less possess legendary items, some may see you as a means to their own ends."

Dabi felt a weight settle over him, but before he could speak, Raghnall leaned forward. "There is, however, a solution.

If you're willing, you could form a temporary contract with someone of high standing, someone who could shield you from unwanted attention.

Tessa Asterius comes to mind. As the daughter of the Asterius family's leader, one of the three royal families, she holds significant influence.

She is very impressed by you in the tournament performance. As I told the wanted to meet you.

And, if you're connected to her, the government would be far less inclined to pursue you."

Dabi tilted his head, eyeing the headmaster skeptically. Tessa Asterius, she talk to for a minute in the national stadium. "Why would a royal family like the Asterius even care about me, a commoner?"

The headmaster hesitated, a flicker of reluctance in his eyes. Thinking it's not the time to tell about why she wants to protect Dabi. It's too early for that.

Then tells Dabi, "Tessa… is a close friend of mine. She's different from others in her position, a person of integrity.

It's not my place to reveal everything, but I can tell you this: she has a personal interest in keeping you safe.

It's not just political. She think you could became someone very powerful and help the human kind and our celestial kingdom in the crisis.

That's why she want to protect you until you become stronger."

The words hung in the air, their implications unspoken yet unmistakable. Breaking the silence, Raghnall continued,

"If you form a temporary contract with her, she'll likely give you tasks that will help you grow stronger.

The Asterius family is known for nurturing talent, and this could be a chance for you to gain a powerful ally."

Dabi took a deep breath, his mind racing with mixed thoughts. He didn't like the idea of binding himself to someone, but the notion of support from a royal family was difficult to dismiss. He replied to Raghnall Ferrin that-,

"I already have Loira with me," Dabi replied firmly, his voice resolute.

"She's a master rank, and Mr. Nafo, a grandmaster, is here to protect my siblings. I can handle whatever comes my way."

Raghnall nodded, though there was a hint of regret in his expression. "I understand, Dabi. It's your choice, and I respect it.

I'll still inform Tessa Asterius, and I'm sure she'll do what she can to keep others at bay.

As for the government, we'll tell them that I obtained the Heart of Eternity from a dimension gate to heal my injury and now that I am fully healed and regain my saint power back.

I decided to auction the item to help other to benefit our kingdom and that you came across the Mermaid's Tears through dimension gate raid.

You dint know about the rank and asked me to check it. After I identified the legendary item you decided to auction it.

As a Commoner you dint have power to keep the item safe and you need money to get stronger.

That's why you trusted me to auction the item. That should satisfy them, at least for now."

With that, Dabi rose, nodding his gratitude. He left the academy, thoughts swirling about the upcoming auction and the possible repercussions.

Back home, Dabi joined his siblings, Loira, and Nafo for dinner. As they shared a quiet meal together, Dabi found his mind circling back to the decision he'd made.

He was determined to use the wealth from this auction wisely, focusing on strengthening himself and protecting his family.

Dabi bought the mermaid Tears from the system with 400 million gold coin. Now dabi don't have much capital to buy item and treasure from the system shop. He needs the auction money.

Later that night, lying in bed as moonlight filtered softly into his room, Dabi thought about the items he had chosen for the auction.

Both were legendary healing items the Heart of Eternity and the Mermaid's Tears. He'd been careful not to auction anything that could be used as a weapon.

In the wrong hands, such an item would cause nothing but devastation.

"I'll use whatever money I gain to get stronger," he murmured to himself. "Stronger than anyone who might want to hare me and my siblings or use me as a pawn."

The days passed quickly, and before he knew it, the auction day had arrived.

The night before, Dabi had considered attending the auction alone with Loira, intending to keep the experience simple.

However, his siblings Eli and Mira were thrilled at the idea of watching an auction, especially one of this magnitude, which would feature legendary items.

They practically begged Dabi to let them come along.

"We've never seen an auction, Dabi!" his sister Mira exclaimed, her eyes wide with excitement. "Please let us go!"

"Yeah, please, Dabi?" Eli chimed in, looking equally eager. "We promise we'll behave."

Unable to resist their enthusiasm, Dabi finally gave in. The headmaster had given him a VIP room card, and he decided it was safe enough to bring them along.

Loira and Nafo would be there as well, ensuring they were protected.

"Alright," he said with a smile. "You can come. But remember, no running around, and listen to everything I said and always be near to Uncle Nafo."

The siblings cheered, and even Loira and Nafo exchanged amused glances as they prepared for the trip. Find more to read at empire

The auction house was an impressive structure, its grand entrance flanked by towering columns that gave it a sense of both elegance and authority.

As they entered, Dabi couldn't help but marvel at the sheer size of the place.

The interior was lavishly decorated, with golden chandeliers illuminating the grand hall and rich, velvety carpets underfoot.

Last time he came here there wasn't this much decorations. It's was simple. But now the auction house looks like a place.

They were led to the VIP area, where the rooms provided an unobstructed view of the auction stage.

Dabi's siblings gazed around in awe, their eyes taking in every detail, while Fen, Whity, and Nyx their spirit pets stayed close, sensing their excitement.

"I didn't realize it would be this fancy," Loira murmured to Dabi as they settled into their seats.

"Neither did I," Dabi replied, smiling slightly. "But I suppose that's fitting, considering what's being auctioned."

Soon, the hall filled with people of all ranks wealthy merchants, nobles, and even representatives from other kingdom noble families, each looking eager to bid on the items.

Dabi noted the atmosphere of anticipation, knowing that it was only a matter of time before the legendary items would become the focus of the crowd.

As the lights dimmed slightly, a well-dressed auctioneer stepped onto the stage.

Her voice boomed through the hall as she introduced the auction, explaining that today's event was special because of the legendary items that would be showcased.

There will be many rare and unique item at the beginning. Then we will move to today main theme.

The two legendary items. I request everyone have patience unlit the end. I know everyone wants to see the main event item. But you just have wait a little more.

"Today, we have items that are seldom seen," the auctioneer announced, her tone filled with excitement.

"Treasures of immeasurable value that could very well change the fate of the fortunate ones who obtain them!"

Eli and Mira leaned forward, their eyes glued to the stage. Even Dabi felt a thrill of excitement as the bidding began.
