Dimensional Descent

Firstly… You could restart from the beginning? Had Leonel known this, why would he waste all this time being stuck at the Third Dimension? He would have switched to another technique as a placeholder to bolster his strength. By then, would all of the things that had happened in the past months even have a chance at getting off the ground?

Of course, Leonel knew that he was being naïve. When it came to things between he and Aina, they had ignored a lot of the problems that had been creeping up for too long. If it wasn't this, then it would have been something else down the road that separated them. And, that separation, having festered for even longer, might have been even worse than this one.

Leonel shook his head, ignoring these useless thoughts.

"You can restart?" Leonel cut the young woman who was about to go on a rant off. He had to know this.

"Oh, right, you probably don't know this either. [Dimensional Cleanse] is a very special technique, it's very compatible with pretty much everything. You don't necessarily have to 'restart', but you do 're-cultivate' from the beginning. You can then layer [Dimensional Cleanse] and your other technique for a stronger effect.

"Most, though, only practice the first three layers of [Dimensional Cleanse], because even a One Star Constitution is a massive boost to someone's combat prowess. If you're lucky enough to get two or three out of nine, you'll be set for a lifetime."

Leonel raised his brows. So that was how it was… Should he be layering another technique with [Dimensional Cleanse], then? Or did it matter at all?

"Anyway, like I was saying before, this is the first round. The Third Dimensional layer of [Dimensional Cleanse] is pretty much widely spread, but it's really too difficult to form Stars from that layer. Most say that it's easiest to form Stars at the Fifth Dimensional layer of the technique, but still quite difficult. I say you might as well give yourself as many chances as you can…

"Oh, right! The first round. Like I was saying, the trial before is just the first leg, the real test starts now. When I win this round, they'll give me the Fourth Dimensional layer of the technique. I'll have to win the next round to earn the Fifth Dimensional layer and so on."
