So what exactly do you want me to do now? Darius asked
Dion was silent for a while before he said
First, you need to increase your combat experience and increase your achievements, which will attract the attention of prestigious academies and make offers to join you.
Is that really necessary? Darius asked
Very, unless you intend to sit at home while someone else plans what you're going to do for the rest of your life, and don't interrupt me until I'm finished. Dion answered
Secondly, you must not tell anyone, no matter how close, the truth about this matter without consulting us. Don't worry, we have a way to make your story, no matter how strange it may sound, believable, and your progress will be logical and not suspicious.
Third, and most importantly, we need a channel of communication with the ancestors to be close to the decision makers and to be able to determine the appropriate measures in various situations.
Fourth, you have to do what I say without any question of why this or that. Is that clear?
Dion finishes his speech and waits for Darius' response.
So you want me to follow your instructions without any objection and we barely know each other, isn't that a bit much. Darius said, He looked into Dion's eyes.
There was silence until Dion spoke up and said
I'm just kidding, I'll tell you all the details before I take any action, but before the time comes, don't ask for details, okay?
Why don't I ask for the details before it's too late? Darius asked
Because the information that I will tell you will be mostly military secrets or secret plans, if you know it prematurely, it may draw attention to you, and also I do not guarantee your reaction, some facts are better to see with your own eyes. Dion answered
So can you tell me what happened during the last dream? Darius asked
No. Dion answered and continued
“You're not qualified to know that now. When the time comes, I'll tell you.
Okay, I get it, you mean we're going to change the future and prevent disasters like in the movies. Sal Darius
No, that's impossible too. We'll be in danger if we act rashly. Dion said
What is the danger that threatens us? Sal Darius
Watchers. Pyrrhus said
Who are the Watchers. Sal Darius
Entities responsible for maintaining balance in the paths of fate. Anyone who tries to block one of the paths will be noticed and eliminated. Pyrrhus answered
Are they powerful? Darius said
All those who tried to defy them disappeared without a trace. Is that answer enough for you?
I think we've talked too much tonight, haven't we? Dion interrupted their conversation.
“Okay, I get it, now how are you going to leave my room, I have an exam in the morning and I can't sleep with someone sitting in my room. Darius said, watching Dion's reaction
“Actually, you're the one who's leaving now, not me. Dion said this while looking at a watch on his wrist
Before Darius could question the meaning of his words, the alarm clock rang and Darius opened his eyes before he lifted his head from the pillow to look at the office chair to find it empty.
“He tricked me again.
In Darius' consciousness, Dion was sitting in the office chair playing with a pen before he raised his head to look at Pyrrhus and said
“Why are you so quiet? Are you disappointed in your new partner?
The boy is not ready for such a difficult task in such a short period of time. Pyrrhus said
So you want him to live stupidly when he doesn't even know why he's fighting, fate is something no one can control, and my presence and your presence in his consciousness must have a reason.
Do you mean your family secrets that are shrouded in mystery. Sal Pyrrhus
That's just one of the reasons. Dion answered
It may lead him to believe that he is capable of achieving things beyond his abilities. Pyrrhus said
I will be with him every step of the way, and this will make him a balanced person in a short time, as I am an expert in dealing with special recruits. Dion said before continuing
It is your duty to explain to him the abilities you have, as we are about to witness many events in the near future

After Darius left the house and headed to the academy, his mind was thinking about all the things he had heard, he felt that his future had changed a lot since that moment
What are you thinking about that you can't hear your best friend trying to catch up with you? Brown said
Maybe it's some questions that could come up on the exam, what do you think, my dear friend. Darius said, looking at Brown
“Hmmm, maybe you're right. Brown said
The two continued walking until they entered the academy and went to their seats and sat down
After some time, the professor came in and started the exam.
For God's sake, was the professor deliberately teaching us easy in order to surprise us with difficult questions on the exam? Brown said
Maybe he was training you to be more careful. Darius said
Most of the day was the same old routine of lessons and drills until the end of the day.
See you guys tomorrow. Cecile said as she left
Darius returned home and both his parents and Saurus were back
My son Darius, how are you? He said a woman who looked about thirty years old and had a light tan with black hair similar to Darius' with a long frilly dress and a red sweater was Darius' mother Mina
She stepped in front of him before hugging him
I'm fine, mom. Darius said, looking at the bottle behind his mother
There was a man with black hair, black eyes, and a face with some wrinkles, wearing a gray sweater with a black shirt and brown pants, yet his features are still really handsome.
Come, boy, to your father. Darius' father, Iskandar, said
Darius approached and sat down next to his father, who took him and hugged him for a while before separating from him and holding him with both hands by the shoulder and saying
You seem to have grown a bit since the last time I saw you.
“Not much, so did anything interesting happen during your trip?” said Darius. Darius said
Not this time, it was a boring and monotonous trip with some boring people. Alexander said
Then why did you spend several months on this trip if it was so boring? Darius said, winking at his father
“Hmmm, let's talk about something else, how are your studies? Alexander said, dodging his son's question
Not much, just some combat classes and routine paper tests. Darius said
Both of you stop talking, it's time for dinner. Sera said
After Darius finished his dinner, he sat for a while with his parents and chatted for a while before leaving to his room to study
After spending three hours studying, he decided to get up and go to sleep.
After a while he opened his eyes, looked at the desk chair and said
Can you refrain from bringing me in like this?
“Hmmm, why are you uncomfortable sitting in your room? Dion said
Anyway, what do you want from me now? Darius said
It's not me, it's Pyrrhus. Dion said, pointing at Pyrrhus
I feel a strange phenomenon approaching our place quickly. I fear it may be one of the watchers, so Dion and I have decided to cut off communication with you until we can ascertain what it is. Pyrrhus said
Can you feel it? Darius said
Yes, but the way it's moving is strange, it looks like it's jumping through space instead of walking through it, my best guess is that it's looking for some kind of vector. Pyrrhus said
What do you mean by a wave? Darius asked
A person or device that determines the trans-dimensional trajectory, and based on its current trajectory, it should arrive here within a month at the latest. Pyrrhus said
Did you also use it when you traveled back in time? Darius asked
Yes, and don't ask what it is, that's a secret. Pyrrhus said
Darius wanted to ask, but Pyrrhus beat him to it, so he refrained from asking and said
“What happens if he's a watcher, can he locate us?
Not if we remain silent and isolate ourselves in your consciousness. Pyrrhus said
“Okay, Pyrrhus, let me finish, during this time you should be able to successfully break through to the synthesis phase, use this enhanced form of the skill you use for training. Dion said this and pointed at Darius, after which a silver thread shot out of his finger and entered Darius' head
You must be vigilant and pay attention to changes that may occur around you. Dion said this and the dream began to fade.
Darius woke up and remembered something new about a training skill that can increase energy efficiency by ten percent during the same period.
Darius continued to improve his combat level and training technique for three weeks until the day of the breakthrough came, so Darius went out to the park after finishing his course and said
“Tonight I will officially become a world of authorship fighter.
