Dimensional Descent

Aina was suddenly the center of attention. Just the act of handing her the key was enough to cause this, let alone the fact that Leonel had kissed her on the forehead. This action seemed to be like Leonel making it quite clear the kind of relationship they had.

There were very few here in the know about what happened in the True Dream Plane. However, those that did understood who Aina was immediately. The trouble was that... they still didn't understand why.

Leonel wasn't a fool, or at the very least, he shouldn't be. Could his success in the True Dream Plane really be luck? No one would believe that. Could it be, then, that some of their other hypotheses were actually correct?

Many thought that there was simply no way for Leonel to succeed the way he did. They watched the event from start to end, but something felt off. Leonel had too much control over the situation, he seemed to get too lucky, his decision making was too perfect.

They wondered if there were some hidden mechanisms of the Life Tablet that they weren't aware of, or maybe if Leonel had brought in a long forgotten treasure of the Creation God Beasts from the Pavilion to ensure their win.

These possibilities were very much possible, and they were much more willing to believe this than anything else.

Looking at Aina now, she was truly extraordinarily beautiful, on the same level as the best of the Pure Blooded Spirituals. In fact, they could even faintly see what Leonel was so boldly snubbing an Owlan for her.

However, nothing else seemed to be special. She was in the Seventh Dimension, but so was pretty much everyone here. In fact, from what they could sense, given the special fluctuations she was giving off, her soul was even tethered to her body.

This wasn't a surprise, this was the case for all humans. The problem was that the humans that managed to break free of that mold all managed to separate the two at some point or another. Even Leonel clearly had, but his wife hadn't?

Would she even be able to make it through the Preliminaries?
