Cyrus shook his head and continued to hide behind Juin, as if he felt uncomfortable with the way Presley was staring at him. 

"Erm…" Juin took a step to the side and completely blocked Presley's view of Cyrus as he said with a smile. "Cyrus had a nightmare last night and didn't sleep well… So he's not really in the mood to meet people. Even though he might be a little beast, he's still a child… And you know, children can be quite temperamental…" 

"Yeah, I know…" President Presley smiled wryly. He then asked Juin, "Then how's his progress? Can you guys work well together?" 

Juin nodded. "We did some battle-style training with Tucker, and so far, we can still cooperate well." 

"Has he turned once during your training?" 

"No," Juin answered truthfully. "Cyrus prefers to fight in his human form, which is fine by me."

"Well, as long as you think you can do it…" President Presley waved a hand nonchalantly. He then pulled out the top desk drawer and took out a bag. Throwing it to Juin, he said, "This is the rest of the Soul Rejuvenation Pills that we agreed on."

"Oof…" Juin caught the bag and felt the heaviness of it. "Thanks!" 

"Don't waste it, those aren't easy to come by," President Presley said with a sigh.

"I won't!" Juin grinned. 

"Alright, you only have a few weeks left to train. Work harder. Normally, we won't let someone new join the Battle, but since you joined us so late, to the point that if you missed this, you would never get a chance to join anymore, the Council of the Order has decided to allow you to join. Of course, that still depends on your performance during the elimination round." 

Juin nodded. "But we are supposed to have a couple of sparring sessions, right? I mean between me and the rest of the eligible kids." 

"I have decided to push that away. This year's Battle is really important. We can't have you guys getting injured constantly before the commencement of the battle. The elimination round is enough to test out your strengths."

"Oh…" Juin thought for a moment before asking, "Then when's the elimination round?" 

"In two weeks. The elimination round would be held in another dimension, not here. The Order has an alternate dimension that we used for training. It's large enough for you kids to blast all your powers, but it's somewhere in Greece."

"Why Greece?" 

"The person who created this alternate dimension was from... Greece. And the way to activate it is through his grave."

"What…" Juin shuddered at the thought of "going through someone's grave". He then recalled something and asked, "Wait, I thought you can just carry it around?" 

"I see Tucker hadn't been teaching you about this…" Presley said with a sigh. He then signaled Juin to sit down. When Juin sat down, with Cyrus sitting closely beside him, Presley explained, "There are different types of dimensions. Certain dimensions require sacrifices to go through. Usually, these are dimensions of higher levels. But when you are going to a dimension that is at the same level as your current one, you can usually enter it freely."

"I know about this…" Juin said before Presley continued. He wanted to know things that he hadn't learned yet.

Presley nodded. He thought for a moment before continuing, "And about your question. That type of alternate dimension is also known as the Pocket Dimensions. We only use that when we have to fight in public but don't want anyone to see us. That's how we keep the supernatural world away from the normal humans. However, this type of alternate dimension is not very secure, and sometimes, normal humans get pulled into the dimensions."

He then took out a small keychain out of the first drawer and slid it across the table. 

Juin looked at the round golden ball on the keychain, which looked like the bell on Doraemon except that there was a small diagram carved onto it. "This is Pocket Dimension…" Juin mumbled.

"Yes, you can keep that. Take it as a personal gift from me. Just don't simply use it," President Presley said.

"Erm, thanks…" Juin nodded respectfully before keeping the keychain in his pant pocket. 

Seeing the Juin was still following his train of thoughts, Presley continued, "During training, especially when there are so many people involved, we want something more stable and solid. In the past, there have been cases where trainees had been attacked by enemies while training in their Pocket Dimensions. Hence, since a hundred years ago, the Order prohibited its young members from training in Pocket Dimensions without supervision, and definitely no battling, as an intense battle might sometimes break the dimension as well."

"Ok… Then what about the one near Greece?" 

"That's an alternate dimension, but it's different. Pocket Dimensions are created using magic and spells. So, technically, they are artificial alternate dimensions. For the one in Greece, that's a real alternate dimension. It's another dimension that really exists and is of the same level as Earth. And the person who created it…"

"The Greek dude…" Juin mumbled before apologizing and signaled Presley to continue.

"Yes… This dimension was where he really came from… Because he fell in love with Earth, and because there were too many wars among the supernatural creatures in the world where he came from, to the point that a lot of people from Earth had died unknowingly, or disappeared, due the instability caused by portals that were accidentally created during the wars, before he died, he used his life and cast a powerful spell that would limit people from going to and fro his original world…"

Juin nodded, feeling that the Greek dude was pretty cool to sacrifice himself to protect Earth, a world that he did not belong to. 

"So, what's the name of the guy and this place he's from?" 

"His name is Atlas…" Presley grinned and leaned forward before continuing, "And in English, the name of the world is 

"Atlantis…"
