Dabi emerged from the dimension gate with the group of noble students, Zen, and Elena.
The bright light of the academy grounds was a stark contrast to the dark, chaotic dimension they had just left behind.
The students, though shaken, seemed relieved that the ordeal was over.
A few even managed grateful glances in Dabi's direction, acknowledging the role he had played in keeping them alive.
One of the teachers approached the group, a satisfied smile on his face.
"The exam is over," he announced.
"All of you have successfully completed the test. Your next challenge will be to prepare for the academy's curriculum."
Dabi nodded and exchanged quick farewells with Zen and Elena before heading home.
It had been a long and tiring day, and he wanted nothing more than to rest.
The adrenaline from the fight had worn off, leaving his muscles heavy with exhaustion.
