The Dimensional Portal that leads into the Beast Dimension was actually conveniently located in the middle of Tokyo, just a kilometer or so away from the Heimdall Agency.
Since Satoshi was still undergoing an internship under Eye Goddess, he decided to stop by the agency, giving her a heads up that he'll be missing out on the internship that day. Of course, he had already informed her a few days prior but he decided to give her a reconfirmation out of courtesy. Besides, he also wanted to greet Crispwisp who had been looking for him for a few days now.
"After your trip to the Beast Dimension, make sure to head straight home. I'm sure your dad would want to celebrate the 'clear' with the whole family. You don't have to worry about the internship for today, think of it as your day off." Eye Goddess said, giving Satoshi permission to miss out on the internship for the whole day."
"You're going to the Beast Dimension? Do take care of yourself, Satoshi," Plume greeted just when Satoshi and Emma headed out of Heimdall Agency.
A few minutes later, the two of them found themselves by the foot of the Dimensional Portal. There was a huge crowd gathering there, awaiting their turn while enjoying the pop-up stalls that surrounded the Dimensional Portal. This section of Tokyo was known for its market diversity. After all, some of the products sold in the stalls came directly from the Beast Dimension.
Things like salamander scales, a variety of beast meat, and plants that could be found within the Beast Dimension were all available there. Even common Beasts could be bought in one of the stalls that resembled a pet shop.
"Whoa, who would've thought that this place looks like this!" Satoshi exclaimed, admiring the sights and the items sold all around. The place was more or less another dimension but in the real world. Satoshi couldn't help but revel in the transformation of the place.
"Is this your first time here, Satoshi?" Emma asked.
"Yeah, Even though I've lived all my life on the outskirts of Tokyo, I've never been to this place," Satoshi answered. Of course, why would he venture into this place when he didn't have a shred of superpower within him? Back then, going to places like this is just a pipe dream. But now it had become a reality.
"Satoshi?" Someone called out from behind him.
Kuroe quickened her pace as she waved her hand. Her casual dress fluttered at the slightest gust of wind, giving her the aesthetic of innocence.
"Ah, Kuroe, you're here. Are you also going into the Beast Dimension?" Satoshi asked.
"Yeah, Shiroi, Fuuka, and Cherry are going too. We booked a reservation together." Kuroe responded.
"Oi! You guys! Man, who would've thought that we'd be going into the Beast Dimension together? I was nervous when I reserved a spot for myself since I didn't know what to do! Boy, I'm glad to be with everyone here." Midori came up to them. He was too nervous that he left their house early. And up until now, he had been roaming around the area, trying to locate anyone who knows him.
A couple of minutes later, Taniguchi Kyou (also known as Saturn from the Flowing Wave Academy), Aljier (from the Great Mountain Academy), and Kobayashi Siril also joined the group. As it turned out, all of them just so happened to schedule their trip on the same day. Satoshi was surprised that he and Emma weren't the only ones who'll be going into the Beast Dimension that day.
"All right, everybody's here." Someone's voice emerged from the Dimensional Portal and a figure came out of it.
He was in his late twenties, with a semi-muscular build and stubble on his chin. His hair, black with hints of purple, was a tad long for a male but it didn't look shabby at all. He wore a huge backpack on his bag, a brown tattered bag usually carried around by porters in a Dungeon Exploration.
"The name's Kim Jin Seok, the number ten hero in Korea. Today, I'm going to be your guide into the Beast Dimension." He announced, jerking his thumb into the Dimensional Portal and beckoning everyone to follow him. "Now, let's not waste any time. I still have a couple of groups to guide in the next few days so it would be pretty nice if we can finish early."
Upon saying that, he went back inside the Dimensional Portal, and the rest of the group followed suit. Satoshi and his friends decided to stick close to each other since they didn't know what to expect inside the Beast Dimension. As it turned out, this was everyone's first time going there so they had no idea what they'll find as soon as they stepped foot inside.
The moment they entered the Beast Dimension, an intense wave of heat hit them squarely on the face, causing all of them to flinch. Shiroi, who was much faster to react to heat than everyone else, managed to enclose the group with a thin bubble made out of snowflakes. "Is everyone all right?" Shiroi asked, hoping that she was able to react in time.
"Yeah, thanks so much, Shiroi." Satoshi was the first one to reply. At first, he wanted to summon his familiar Windfan or the Ice Empress, but he remembered what his dad told him so he decided to hold them back unless he absolutely needed them.
"How about us?" The other superheroes on the trip complained as they grinned and bore the heat wave. There was nothing they could do but bite their lips since no one would help them with the heat at all. Even Kim Jin-Seok, who knew about the heat, couldn't care less about everyone else.
"Um, Sir Kim, right?" Someone asked, approaching Kim Jin Seok as sheepishly as she could while twiddling her thumbs. From her blond hair and blue eyes, it was obvious that she was a foreigner, probably someone from Europe. "I'm sorry but can you help us with the heat... we can't take it." She asked.
Kim Jin Seok heaved a sigh before he ruffled his hair. "Look, miss, I'm not paid enough to do this... I'm merely here as a guide, nothing more nothing less. If you can't handle the heat, then the Dimensional Portal's right there. You can go home now." He continued.
"Hey! That's not fair! The others have their own superpower to back them up but we don't have anything of the sort! You're the guide, you're responsible for this!"
"Yeah, you go tell them!"
"Yeah, you're not even handsome you cursed Korean!"
A nerve appeared on Kim Jin Seok's forehead as his eyes turned a nice shade of red out of anger. If he didn't need the money and if he wasn't there as a guide, then he'd have beaten everybody up and turned them into a bloody mess. But since he was there as a guide, there's nothing he could do but allow them to badmouth him.
Suddenly, an invisible space in the shape of a square appeared out of nowhere and surrounded everyone. It came from Fukushima Fuuka, a member of Class 3-1 with space and sound distortion as her superpower. The space prison she came up with blocked the heat as well as the sound from each side. Also, it was a vacuum space so there was no oxygen in it. "If they really wanted to go through with this, then they have no right to complain. You don't have to mind them, sir guide." Fuuka muttered, patting Kim Jin Seok on the back since he almost lost his cool.
"Ah, oh... yeah... I'm really sorry about that." He sincerely apologetically said as he watched the complainers go back into the Dimensional Portal. Since there was nothing they could do inside the vacuum space that Fuuka made, they were forced to go back to their country.
"Well then, let's move along and proceed with the excursion. Once again, I am your guide, Kim Jin Seok, and I'm really sorry about my unbecoming display of emotions back there." He continued. "First, I'm going to talk to you about the different types of beasts that could be found around here, and then we'll go through with everyone's decisions. After that, we will group all of you according to the beasts that you're going to tame, and send you on your way to explore this section of the Beast Dimension. Of course, I wouldn't send you too far since I'd have to come to your rescue if anything goes wrong."
"In any case, just enjoy the experience, and even if you can't find any beasts that suit you, that's quite all right. You can always return at any time, and the rotation of where we're going to explore always changes so you're bound to find the right beast for you."
Upon saying that, Kim Jin Seok then began explaining the beasts in the area.
