My Space-Time System

Once the involvement of Zero was confirmed agents of noble families in the room began contacting their various families to inform them of the new development.

This made a lot of families investigate more into the matter. It didn't take long for them to find out that the Order of Chaos adventurer party had struck a deal with the Winchester family. This made to begin wondering the level of relationship between both parties.

It led to another investigation and they found out about the number of commissions they had completed for the Winchester family. This made the noble families feel uncomfortable, because from the looks of things it seemed that the Winchester family were about to rope them in and that was bad news.

If Blake and his team reached great heights in the incoming years, their ties with the Winchester family would cause the noble families' power and control to sore above many other noble families.

This wasn't good news for them so they had to come up with a way to get on the good side of the rising adventurer party.

It made them considered commissioning a gang wipeout just like the Winchester family had done.

…

The next week of school wasn't fruitful for all the courses when it came to progress.

The mana vision class was the most unfruitful, Professor Gibson couldn't see any visible improvement from their previous class and that included Blake.

As for Forge mastery classes, Professor Tacitus was still nowhere to be seen, but the surprising part was that the school knew about it but hadn't told them anything concerning it.

The system came up with a theory that Professor Tacitus wouldn't be coming to lecture them until they had awakened mana vision. This was because the integration method was complex for someone like Blake, talk less of normal students.

In the body enhancement class, the students were still stuck in the unconscious process of mana absorption by the cells, but unlike Professor Gibson, Zirrack didn't seem to be bothered about their progress. It was hard to tell if he cared.

…

The same thing went on during the next week, but things were quite different for Blake when it came to the body enhancement class.

After his class with Zirrack, Blake returned to his room a little bit frustrated. This was the first time he had stayed almost 2 weeks without any visible progress.

"How can I increase the speed of the absorption process?" Blake asked as he paced around his room.

The mana absorption rate of the cells was very small and slow. The problem Blake had with it was that the quantity was too small for him to observe the process in his attempt to awaken mana vision.

[You are frustrated and you thinking too much about it only increases it. You should go outside and clear your head, before coming back to the issue.] The system advised Blake.

"Yeah, I need a break." Blake agreed with the system and headed out for the training ground.

Apart from the canteen that was packed during meal time, the training ground was the most populated area of the school when classes weren't in session. It was a place that was large enough to contain both those from the elite class and the normal class when they came to spar, train, hangout, and so on.

'Didn't know this area was this lively after classes.' Blake looked around the training ground and saw students engaging in different activities.

'Sometimes I wonder why I haven't activated the night veil.' Blake sighed helplessly when he saw that a lot of eyes and fingers were on him. With his enhanced sense of hearing, he could hear that a lot of the conversations around him were about him, but because he came to clear his head he didn't bother to listen.

Blake was like a celebrity to many students, they don't usually see him but whenever he is seen, he gives everyone a thrilling show to watch.

Blake didn't waste any time, as he went to the sitting area that overlooked a large portion of the humongous training ground. Rank matches were going on at the battlegrounds, but they were mostly those from the normal class with a few low-ranking elite class members.

'So far I haven't gotten to see the strength of the normal class.' Blake said as he decided to watch one of the matches, but he was soon disappointed.

It wasn't as if they were bad, as a matter of fact, their close combat skills were okay, mana control and spell casting time were not far from the lower rank of the elite class. It was just that they lacked imagination and were playing it too safe.

He moved his attention to another battle but they were basically the same thing, boring. Blake was getting more frustrated when he saw 10 chances for one to start a chain combo to end the match but ended up backing away.

[I don't think watching this is helpful.] The system chuckled when heard all the cursing in Blake's head.

Blake moved over to another side of the training ground where people were sparring. Many were at the sitting area watching them while some were by the sides.

"Look, it's Blake." Girls in the area alerted each other before they began whispering loudly as they literally watched his every move. This was kind of embarrassing for Blake, but it made a few people angry.

The said people were nobles that had come to the sparring area just to look for those who they were stronger than, then pester and anger them into accepting a spar. The aim of their actions was to beat up their unlucky targets in order to look good and get girls.

They were angry at Blake that the girls were no longer paying attention to their fights but to him. The part that got them infuriated was that Blake had interfered in one of their matches.
