The announcer's voice bood over the loudspeakers. "And the winner of this year's individual tournant… Dabi of Astral Heaven Academy!"
However, not everyone was pleased. In the VIP section, Reniel Vantore's face was a mask of barely contained fury.
His family's sche to undermine Dabi had failed, and now the Vantore na was left to face the sting of defeat.
Other nobles exchanged uneasy glances, the weight of Dabi's victory unsettling for those who had hoped to see him fall.
But amidst the disapproving murmurs and whispered conversations, one figure remained silent and thoughtful.
Lady Althea Illyrian, seated elegantly in the royal section, watched Dabi with an inscrutable expression.
Her lips curved into a slight smile, as if acknowledging sothing only she understood. She rose gracefully, a quiet figure in a world of noise, and left the arena without a word.

With that, she turned and lted into the crowd, leaving Dabi with her words ringing in his ears.
Her parting glance left him with more questions than answers, yet he felt a strange comfort.
He realized that her support, however quiet, had been an invaluable part of his journey through the tournant.
Dabi took a slow breath, centering himself in waiting room as the stadium's announcer introduced each of the academy raking with fervor.
The announcer's voice bood, echoing through the vast arena.

As the night deepened, Dabi found a quiet mont to reflect. The tournant had been far more than just a test of skill; it had revealed the intricate web of power, influence, and rivalry in Celestial City.
He had glimpsed the complex dynamics of noble and royal families, each with its own agenda, and seen firsthand the lengths so would go to in order to maintain control.
Yet he had also seen hope, allies, and even respect from so of the most unlikely places.
This journey was far from over. His victory had earned Astral Heaven Academy respect, but it had also drawn the attention of forces beyond his understanding.
The noble families, the royals, and even governnt officials had taken notice. His path forward would be challenging, but he felt ready for whatever lay ahead.
The headmaster Ranghall Ferrin saw dabi lost in thought, approach Dabi and tells don't worry now I have regain my power there's nothing to worry about.
I will take care of everything. Also lady Tessa Asterius before she leaves told tell you she will visit you for work purpose. Before dabi could ask anything to headmaster.
Suddenly their conversation was interrupted by Eli and Mira running and calling dabi. Loira and Nafo congratulations him.
The headmaster thank loira for helping him, but loira is surprised why the Ranghall Ferrin was thanking her. Dabi rush change the conversation.
Tells loira you were is diation I think you don't know this is Sir Nafo a Grandmaster, he will protect Eli and Mira for a certain amount of ti.
Loira tells yes we et and Eli and Mira told about him. They celebrate for a while then left the stadium.
As dawn broke over Celestial City, Dabi stood on the balcony of his academy dormitory, watching the first rays of light paint the sky.
His heart was full of determination, pride, and a growing resolve.
The challenges he faced now were more than just battles they were opportunities to prove himself,
To rise above limitations, and to reshape the future not only for himself but for everyone who believed in him.
For Dabi, this was just the beginning.
Two days have past since the national tournant finals today's the day top three ranker Dabi and others will go to the national vault to choose one treasure.
Dabi think the headmaster told him there are many treasures in the national vault but you can't tells which one is the best.
As the headmaster gave Dabi a page in there was a item called space stone which enhanced space power told dabi to choose that.
But headmaster didn't know dabi had the insight skills he can see any item description also had the system shop where he can buy all types of treasure even the ones lost in the history.
Dabi decide he will choose sothing which will benefit him. He can buy space stone from the shop and he can also use skills evolution card to enhance his space skills so he don't need to choose the item the headmaster recomnded.
A governnt officials greets the top three ranker and took the ti the national vault. He told them they have 30 minutes to choose a item.
After that they have ca out from the vault. One person can choose only one treasure. They all enter the vault.
They goes their separate ways in the vault. The vault was very big and there were tens thousands of treasure.
Over last 1000 years these treasure were collected.
Dabi think he has the dinsions storage, if it's was the any Nobel family treasure vault he could easily empty it.
But the vault is the national vault and the treasurer for the people of the national they will help upcoming talent and help humanity to expelled the monster of the dinsions gates.
Dabi think let's find the best item and leave. Dabi use his insight skills started to see the item description.
After so ti dabi finds a black paper which description is unknown by the system.
Dabi think this black paper must be sothing very important but looks very old, as soon as Dabi touched the black paper the paper changed it's colour and beca golden and started to vanish into the golden light and enter the dabi heart.
Dabi seeing this sudden was surprised what was that light now there did the paper turn into the light and why did it enter my boby. Is it sothing dangerous, but I don't fell any different.
What should I do suddenly dabi fells his mana is increasing. It's increased by 2 fold. Dabi think this paper was like a mana boost I think.
Good thing now I have more mana. Now that the paper was vanished I can choose another item Dabi give a slightly evil smile.
Started to look for another item. Only five minutes left before the half hour ti is finished.
Dabi finds an item so short of round things holder which looks very similar to the item the bought from the auction. The item was a two ter black stone.
It's looks like the stone will fit in the holder. Dabi's insight skills also show the item as unknown. Dabi choose the holder think this might be related to the black stone.
After that Dabi and other two leave the national vault and they registered the item they choose and left.
Dabi goes directly to the headmaster office and tells him he chooses the holder and tells the reason he find a black rock in the auctions.
The headmaster tells as long as you are satisfied. But in the national vault all item are priceless.
