Dimension Weaver: My Wife Is The Dragon Empress!

Hyun-Jae watched from the side as the students lifted their hands one after the other. The fear she saw in their eyes was diminishing quickly, replaced by a strong resolve to do what they needed to do.

All of that happened in less than a minute by Talon. He didn't give grandiose speeches or anything of that sort. Instead, he simply gave the students a real-life example of how easy it could be.

Seeing a fellow student achieving what they thought was a far-fetched goal was the best motivation they could ever have.

"That's the spirit, boys. Let's get these bastards back for what they did." Talon smiled as he declared confidently.

"AAAAH!!" Everyone cheered loudly.

Then, he turned to Hyun-Jae and said. "This should be enough."

The girl blinked in surprise before she nodded her head. At this point, her amazement at how capable her companion is is now rooted in her thoughts. This man was impeccable in everything he did.

He did what she thought could be impossible and did it so confidently as if nothing could stop him. That kind of lifestyle, as reckless as it could be, was so attractive in her eyes.

She wanted to be carefree and ready to face the world with a smile. She wanted the vast world and beyond to be her limit.

The world that she assumed was a cage of responsibilities and expectations was finally opening itself for her to let her free. All because of him.

Closing her eyes, Hyun-Jae smiled to herself before she finally put all those thoughts to the side and focused on the matter at hand. She can have her time thinking about these feelings when everything is done.

"Ok, everyone, let's move." She clapped her hand to catch their attention.

With that, the training officially began. The group moved around the gymnasium's area searching for weak Dimension Walkers. There were a huge number of them so it wasn't that hard to find.

Then, Talon and Hyun-Jae would choose random students who would step up to kill those monsters. Since they needed to be careful, one at a time was the best choice they had.

Fortunately, this plan worked amazingly well. Students were able to kill Dimension Walkers on their own. One by one, they were able to get their first bonus stats and their first level. The feeling was so amazing that most of them found themselves eager for more.

A few hours passed at that rate and the entire area around the gymnasium was completely wiped out of Dimension Walkers. Granted, some of the stronger Dimension Walkers had to be dealt with by Talon and Hyun-Jae but the rest was all done by the students.

Another good thing was the dropped cores they found after killing tens of Dimension Walkers. Weapons, skills, and even some potions. A good number of the students were able to get their hands on one of these things. Naturally, that made them even more excited.

Meanwhile, Talon and Hyun-Jae were noting down everything. From the items that were dropped to the particular individuals that stood out amongst the group.

Every piece of information they could get their hands on was noted down.

*Swish*

A steel bar fell on the head of a Dimension Walker, killing it instantly.

"Hah… Hah… Hah…" The girl exhaled a long breath as she looked at the monster before looking at the notifications that appeared for her.

"Good job," Talon said as he looked around him. "And that seems like the last monster here." He murmured.

'We cleared the first area faster than I thought and we got our hands on some pretty useful things. Mission accomplished for now.' He thought to himself.

"Every student is now level 2 or 3. They grew stronger." Acrypha said as she looked at the students while floating around Talon.

"Yeah, I'm proud of what they did."

Noticing Hyun-Jae approaching him, Talon nodded his head. "OK, everyone, I think this is a good time to take a break. We will continue in an hour or so."

When Talon said that, the students finally exhaled a long breath and started falling to the ground extremely tired.

Talon could hear some students' stomachs groaning from hunger. Even if they performed well today, their energy was getting depleted faster than before. Talon knew that they couldn't hold on for that much longer.

"This is problematic," Hyun-Jae murmured with a frown.

Talon didn't speak and instead looked in the direction of the cafeteria. It was barely visible from where he was standing. Squinting his eyes, he turned to Hyun-Jae and said.

"Can I get a bag, a big one preferably." He said.

"What do you want with a bag?" Hyun-Jae asked, feeling a bad omen about it.

"A quick trip to the cafeteria. I will get as much food as I can and bring it back. It won't be much but it should sustain the students till we clear a path to the cafeteria and take control of it." He said.

"What?! No, that's too dangerous. We don't know what monsters are lurking around the cafeteria or inside it."

"We need food or these students won't be able to handle another arduous day of fighting monsters. I will be fine." Talon shook his head.

"..." Hyun-Jae could only sigh at his stubborn nature. "If you're going, then I'm going too. I can't let you fight alone."

"No, we need to continue with the plan. The area beyond that building should be cleared by today if we want to make any progress." The young man retorted.

"..."

"I will be fine, trust me. I'm fast and all I'm going to do is get some food and come back. It will take at most an hour in the worst scenario."

"... Sigh, fine, you can do that." Hyun-Jae facepalmed as she exhaled a long breath.

"Hehe, thank you, Hyun-Jae. You're a good partner." Talon said as he tapped her on the shoulder.

"..." The girl stared at him silently stared at him with a complicated expression.

After that, she gave him one of the bags she brought with her to collect monster cores. Talon strapped the bag to his back before he turned to look at Hyun-Jae.

"Don't die, ok? And don't recklessly fight anything stronger than you. Escaping should always be your priority." Hyun-Jae said. Although her tone was joking, Talon felt the underlying worry behind it and could only smile at her.

"I'm not going to die. It's too early for that." Talon replied.

The girl nodded her head before she turned around to take care of the rest of the students.

Seeing that, Talon also turned around and dashed forward, rushing toward the cafeteria as fast as he could. His 36 points in agility made him appear slightly blurry for the normal eye.

In a few seconds, he crossed a hundred meters.

"Look at you go." Acrypha floated around him casually. She was effortlessly following him as if it was the easiest thing ever.

"Tsk, isn't it a little bit too unfair that you can fly around and I can't?" Talon asked with a smile.

"When you grow strong enough, you will also be able to fly."

"Fine…"

As he ran, Talon noticed three Dimension Walkers in front of him. So, brandishing his spear, he swiftly sliced through them with ease, decapitating their heads.

"Damn! That felt like I was cutting through thin air. The spear's strength is amazing!" Looking at his far superior weapon, Talon exclaimed.

The blade was now far sharper and the spear felt a lot faster and more precise. These details weren't mentioned in the description of the spear but could be felt in real combat.

"The system won't tell you everything. Some stuff requires on-hand experience to feel." Acrypha said.

"Oh, so that's why. It makes sense."

With that, Talon turned around and continued his trip toward the cafeteria. The gymnasium disappeared from his vision a minute or so later.

What faced him were desolate roads, as quiet as they could be except for the occasional gushes of cold wind that moved around them. These streets were riddled with monsters instead.

Evolved ones could be seen here and there too. When they noticed Talon, they came rushing toward him.

The latter didn't even flinch as he took a fighting stance, facing them confidently.

Not even half a minute later, Talon was staring at their bloody remains. It didn't even take him that long to kill 7 of them.

"Damn, the boost I got from the spear's level-up is showing its effect."

Talon's strength was now 35 points. For someone of his level, that was unheard of. Even Acrypha could only suck in a deep breath just reading through his stats.

"Nice, I also got some energy cores, and oh! A skill core! I wonder what I go-" As Talon stood there, inspecting what he got, his evolved senses suddenly picked on something coming from behind him as his body instinctively moved.

Ducking down, Talon barely avoided the sharp claws that sliced through the air, almost cutting his head off. Quickly, he jumped back and landed on his feet.

*GRRRRR*

Staring at the monster that tried to ambush him, Talon's face turned extremely serious. He didn't even need to know anything about this monster to realize one single thing… It was strong.

Perhaps the strongest monster he has come across so far.

*GRRRRRR*
