Chapter 21: The Second Opening

Fray and Elisa stood together in the backyard, observing a group of nine teenagers ranging from fourteen to sixteen years old.

Elisa glanced at the youthful faces, questioning their readiness to become warriors. However, when she turned her gaze to Fray, nearly the same age as the teenagers, she understood that in this world, age was merely a number. With that realization, she began to speak.

"I'm certain you're aware that the legendary weapons are what sets the six ancient families apart. The Dalma family possesses a weapon known as the spirit gate. It provides access to the spirit realm, allowing us to connect with powerful spirits and harness their abilities. The spirits are categorized into nine ranks, and the strength of the spirit you can attract is determined by what we call Essence Points, the average of Essence points for the ordinary fighter is 50p."
