Primordial Expanse: I have the Strongest Talent!

"There's something else you should know," the Principal said. "Using the void dimension on campus is dangerous. You're not the only one who can sense its presence. A ranks and higher awakened can detect your presence whenever you enter it, and starting from S- rank, individuals can interact with different dimensions directly, including the void dimension, even without any related talent.

That's how I found you."

Mira's eyes widened in shock.

She had no idea that her actions could have been detected by others, let alone that they could interact with her directly. The realisation that she was so close to danger made her stomach churn.

"The professors here are highly skilled at their jobs," The Principal continued. "If they sensed you without knowing who you were, they might have branded you as a threat. If I hadn't explained things to them beforehand, you would have already been swarmed by them."

Mira's heart pounded in her chest as she grasped the full weight of what he was saying. She had been oblivious to the risks she was taking. The void dimension, which had always felt like a safe haven, was now revealed to be nowhere near as safe as she thought.

"I… I didn't know," she admitted, her voice trembling slightly.

The Principal nodded. "I understand. But you need to be more careful in the future. The void dimension is a powerful tool, but it comes with significant risks. Use it wisely and sparingly, especially on the university grounds. If you ever sense another presence in the void dimension with you, exit immediately. discover-stories-on-NovelFire

Anything that can exist here is not something the current you can take on."

Mira nodded, feeling humbled. But her face quickly twisted as she grasped the meaning of the Principal's last sentence.

"Wait… Are you saying there are other beings in the Void dimension…?"

"Yes, even I would have a tough time against the stronger ones." The Principal answered.

But this answer was enough to scare Mira out of her wits.

She had been using the void dimension all this time, and had been unaware of the dangers she was facing every time she entered.

Each time could have been her last, and she was blissfully unaware this whole time.

"If you encounter such a being in there, you can only consider yourself unlucky, as there aren't many of them considering the size of the void dimension. You could come across one tomorrow, or you could never come across one at all. It all depends on your luck." The Principal added.

Mira needed some time to adjust to this new information that had been revealed to her, and she realised that she was still in the void dimension right now!

What if one of those void beings came across her?

But her fear quickly dissipated as she remembered just who she was with.

The Principal would take care of any being that might encounter them.

"Thank you, Principal." She said sincerely. "I'll be more careful from now on."

The Principal gave her a nod of approval. "Good. Now, go back to your dorm and give Alex the space he needs. Support him, but let him come to you in his own time."

Mira felt mixed emotions as she exited the void dimension, the familiar surroundings of the university campus regained their colour as it came back into view.

She felt a strange mix of relief and apprehension. She had narrowly avoided a dangerous situation thanks to the help of the Principal, but she had also gained some very valuable insights because of it.

She realised that she had been too focused on her own worries and had been too selfish to consider Alex's perspective.

Back in her dorm, Mira sat on her bed, deep in thought. The Principal had opened her eyes to the foolishness of her actions, leaving her ashamed and humbled.

Meanwhile, back in the void dimension, the Principal remained in place, deep in thought.

'So he's interested in the soul so early on, huh? Interesting… I wonder what has him so curious about it. He shouldn't have had any interactions with it yet at such a low rank…' the Principal mused.

He had sensed something intriguing about Alex's interest in souls. It was unusual for someone of his rank to be so fixated on such an advanced concept.

'Perhaps I should pay more attention to him from now on,' the Principal decided. 'He might become the next S tier awakened in the future…'

The Principal's thoughts wandered as he considered the situation. Alex was just becoming more and more interesting, the more he learned about him.

Everything Alex had shown to the university so far would indicate a great future potential, perhaps even becoming an S tier awakened in the future.

If he was nurtured well, then he would become an extremely valuable asset to not only the federation, but to the Principal himself.

He had been stuck as a King class for decades, unable to progress any further due to the sheer disparity in strength between King class beasts and Ancient class beasts.

He wasn't strong enough to take them down alone, and he had failed to gain help from that slippery fellow, so his only other option was to turn to the youth.

With someone like Alex's help, it might just be possible for the human race to gain another Ancient class awakened in their ranks.

That's right, another one.

It was only known to a very select handful of people, but that slippery bastard in first place was actually already an Ancient class awakened, and he refused to give up how he had become one.

It wasn't like anyone could force him to give it up anyway, as nobody in the federation was daring or strong enough to try and force his hand.

With a final, contemplative look around the void dimension, the Principal exited, returning to the third dimension. The morning sun cast long shadows across the campus as he walked, but strangely, nobody seemed to notice his presence as he strolled past countless students, yet none of them even gave him a second glance.
