Elise was astonished.
âItâs a success!â
Even though the monster waves were catastrophic, now she could teleport with Junhyuk to stop them. On top of that, Eltor had lost his post.
Elise pulled something out of her Spatial Bag. It was a chair for her to sit to tan under the sun. Sitting down comfortably, she smiled and said, âIâve always liked scenes like this in the movies.â
âDonât you have a parasol?â
Elise smirked and replied, âI have something better.â
She waved her hand, and Moon Core floated above her head and released a blue energy field. Sarang started to laugh.
âIs that an energy field?â
âThatâs right. I blocks sun rays.â
Sarang, who was now shaded, pulled out a mattress and sat on it. Junhyuk also sat on the mattress.
He looked up at the sky from underneath the blue energy field and felt refreshed. Looking around, he said, âWe can now travel the world.â
âWe need a plane just for fun.â
âPlanes are uncomfortable.â
âYou are right.â
Elise smiled at him and asked, âYouâll take me anywhere I want, right?â
After some thought, Junhyuk asked, âShould we go see Gongon?â
No one had been hurt by his last teleportation, so he wanted to try crossing dimensions with them.
The two womenâs eyes beamed. Neither of them had experienced true dimensional travel.
Junhyuk increased the quantity of Harmonizer he was using and grabbed them by the hand. Then, he crossed over. As he came up against the dimensional wall, his bracelet shone and guided the way for him. Junhyuk reappeared in Gongonâs lair, but the hatchling wasnât there.
Contacting Gongon through his communication orb, he asked, âWhere are you?â
âIâm in my lair. Where are you?â
âIn your lair. I brought company.â
âWho?â
Elise and Sarang walked up to Junhyuk, and when Gongon saw them, he was stunned.
âYou can take others with you when you use the dimensional shift now? You are fearless! Did you test for safety beforehand?â
âI used it on Earth and teleported with both of them.â
âRight. Wait a second. Iâm coming back.â
âAre you in your battleship?â
âAh! Iâm not travelling through dimensions, so teleporting here should be easy.â
Junhyuk suddenly felt a burst of mana waves, so he took Elise and Sarang to where Gongon kept the battleship.
Gongon was there waiting for them.
Junhyuk had already seen it, but Elise and Sarang were seeing it for the first time. From mageâs standpoint, the battleship was an incredible achievement, and from a magical engineering perspective, it was even more impressive.
Both women understood that better than Junhyuk, so Gongon started to explain the details of the battleship with enthusiasm.
Junhyuk couldnât understand anything Gongon was saying, so he chuckled and looked around.
Gongon started the battleship, and Junhyuk teleported to the deck and focused on polishing Harmonizer. He could also train there. They were flying through the sky, and the warm breeze was hitting his skin. He focused on training.
Elise and Sarang were curious about the battleshipâs composition, so Junhyuk trained on his own. He had been meditating for a while when a shadow loomed over his face.
âSleeping?â
âTraining.â
âRight.â
âWe are facing stronger enemies.â
Thinking about it, Junhyuk wasnât sure he could defeat Artlanâs team, but he wanted to do his best. Gongon pushed a piece of candy inside Junhyukâs mouth, and Junhyuk rolled it around with his tongue. He knew Gongon was stashing those, so he smiled.
Gongon sucked on his own piece of candy and sat next to him.
âYou can travel through dimensions now. You might be able to use that in the Dimensional Battlefield.â
âTheyâll restrict it.â
âThey might not.â
âIs that even a possibility?â
âWhat about Eliseâs buff?â
âTrue.â
Eliseâs buff was better than most ultimates, so Junhyuk started wondering if his Dimensional Shift would work.
âBut, I need to be able to acquire coordinates.â
âRightâ¦â
Junhyuk could teleport with others, so if there were no restrictions to it in the Dimensional Battlefield, he would be truly strong.
Gongon touched Junhyukâs bracelet and said, âIâll set it for three places you want, but you need to tell me the places youâve been to. Iâll give you the coordinates then. Check to see if you can use the Dimensional Shift in the Dimensional Battlefield first.â
âThereâs one more problem.â
âWhat is it?â
âThis bracelet has to be considered an item.â
Gongon clicked his tongue and said, âI wasnât thinkingâ¦â
Junhyuk lay on his back comfortably and said, âWeâll fight with what we have. I need to be able to use all of the Harmonizer I have.â
âRight. Iâm expecting great things from you.â
Gongon unwrapped another piece of candy and left. Junhyuk trained on his own. After a short time passed, Sarang and Elise came up to him.
âLetâs go back. It was fun, but we are fighting in the finals. We can return later.â
âI like that idea. Letâs go back.â Junhyuk smiled at Gongon and said, âCheck to see if you can attach that ability to an equipment.â
âSure.â
Gongon waved his claw at them, and Junhyuk returned to Eliseâs office. After saying goodbye, he returned to his training facility. He didnât want anybody interfering with him now.
However, it seemed that day wasnât a good day to train. Time stopped, and Agenchra appeared.
The manager smiled at him and said, âYouâve achieved dimensional teleportation.â
âArenât you a little late?â
âYou can teleport through dimensions on your own, but if you take others with you, there may be problems.â
âWhy are you here?â
Agenchra pulled out his small notebook. There was a contract within it.
âI have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you.â
âWhat is it?â
âThe chance to become a dimensional manager.â The manager started to explain, âWith your teleportation skill, you are qualified to become a manager. Iâm offering you a spot.â
âYou want me to become a manager?! Whatâs so good about that?â
âI donât have many powers, but as a manager, you can stop time and teleport through dimensions.â
âYou have those powers.â
âThey are a type of benefit.â
âDo I have to wear the bandages?â
âYouâve experienced it already.â Junhyuk didnât understand what Agenchra was saying, so the manager raised his hand and pointed at him, adding, âYouâve gone beyond human limitations.â
âNo. Iâll live as a human being.â
âYouâll be limited and uncomfortable.â
Junhyuk had two cores of energy within him. If he acquired any more energy, he would have to give up his humanity, so he decided to give up on absorbing any more.
âIâm human.â
Agenchra stared at him and said, âYou really have a lot of energy within you. Itâs surprising that you are still human.â
Junhyuk stared at Agenchra, and the manager smiled at him.
âYouâll get a lot of benefits. Why donât you join?â
âWhat are the benefits?â
âYou wonât die.â
âI wonât die?â
Agenchra smirked and replied, âI canât die myself.â
âFor how long have you been a manager?â
âThatâs a secret, but Iâm older than most dragons.â
Dragons could live for thousands of years, and Agenchra was telling him that he was older than them.
âYou are old.â
âAge is just a number.â
âAny other benefits?â
âYou can get items specific for managers.â
âAre they any good?â
âThey are comparable to legendary items.â
Junhyuk wasnât interested in the items. He wanted to compete in the battlefield.
âAnd?â
âNo monster waves will trigger in a managerâs dimension if a manager doesnât want them.â
That piqued his interest, and he asked, âAnything else?â
âOther, smaller benefits that wonât interest you.â
Junhyuk took some time to think before asking, âWhat will my ranking be as a manager?â
âYou wonât be a team leader, but youâll still be a manager.â
Junhyuk stared at Agenchra. Both him and ELtor were team leaders.
âDo powers decide ranking?â
âThatâs part of it, but experience is more is more important.â
Was it because of experience, or was Eltor stronger than him? Junhyuk was curious to find out.
âWhat about it? Are you interested?â
Junhyuk shook his head and replied, âNo. Iâll stay true to myself.â Looking into Agenchraâs eyes, he added, âI donât want to work under supervision.â
Agenchra gave him a bitter smile and replied, âYouâll have plenty of freedom as a manager.â
âConsidering Eltorâs situation, thatâs hard to believe.â
âEltor crossed the line.â
âWhat happened to him?â Junhyuk asked.
âHe became a low-ranking manager.â
âAre the monster waves over?â
âNot yet. You donât have enough heroes, so the waves will continue.â
âJust like last time?â
âThe new team leader will trigger them, so I donât know much about it.â
âWhen does the new team leader take his post?â
âTomorrow.â
âOK. Tell me more about the new leader tomorrow.â
Agenchra smiled and said, âIâll come back tomorrow and make you the offer again. There arenât many managers, and only those with teleportation skills can become managers. You should seriously consider it.â
Agenchra disappeared, and Junhyuk scoffed and said, âI must be going crazy.â
