My Space-Time System

Chapter 377: Looking for a fight.

Towards the end of the 3rd week, more students had begun returning to the castle, and just like they had expected the clashes between each year had increased exponentially.

The reason the issue was close to inexistent days ago was that most 2nd year and 1st-year students in school at that time were commoners.

Nonetheless, Blake didn’t care about the squabbles between both years. His main focus was on completing the protective layer of Azkelwart’s hourglass by filling up the last 3 stars of the champion realm.

Also, he still had the design of the normal version of the humidifier to complete and market.

…

Early in the morning of resumption day, every student was already back in school. So the school had called for a meeting at the hall, and just as expected 2nd year students were in attendance.

“Hope you all enjoyed your holidays?” Professor Gibson asked as he walked through a warp gate with Instructor Zirrack.

…..

His question was replied to with a lot of questions from the students, so he quickly went straight to the point.

“I know all of you are confused as to why both years are in the same room. Well, it is actually what you think it is.”

“His majesty Prince Bryon had looked into the results of both the 1st and 2nd year over the last 2 semesters. After comparing both years, he saw that the performance of the 2nd year students was below that of their juniors.”

“So in order to prevent them from growing into incompetent mages, he decided to demote them.” Professor Gibson’s announcement instantly sent the hall into turmoil.

The 2nd year students couldn’t believe their ears. Many were confused, they couldn’t even believe something like this was possible. While some were protesting against it.

As for the 1st year students, some of them were also protesting against the decision, but many that hadn’t thought of the consequences were laughing at the 2nd years.

“Silence!” instructor Zirrack released a wave of energy that instantly silenced everyone in the hall.

“As for your previous head of year, he had been relieved of his position. So I am looking forward to the maximum corporation while working with you all.” Professor Gibson said.

“We don’t agree!” A voice screamed, causing everyone to turn to the source, only to see a 2nd-year noble student who also looked confused.

‘He thought others would back him up, what a poor soul.’ Blake shook his head in pity, because the next second Instructor Zirrack had stretched forth his palm, and a force pulled the face of the noble into it. 𝘣𝑑𝘰𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝘤𝑜𝑚

“I’ll be back.” Zirrack said as he effortlessly clutched the face of the noble and walked through a warp gate.

‘May his soul rest in peace.’

This was the prayer made by almost every 1st year in the hall, especially those that had their lives reformed by Zirrack.

“On to important matters.” Professor Gibson continued.

“The rankings will change, 65 2nd year students will be at the top of the ranks according to their previous ranks. As for the 1st year students, their ranks would begin from 66, thus making the elite class 130.”

This was meant to be the 1st year’s chance to protest, but they thought about it twice when they saw Instructor Zirrack returning to the hall after tying up the noble.

‘Why do I have this feeling that the school demoted them to create a challenge for me and Luciano?’ Blake said in the mind link.

‘Although I don’t like the idea, isn’t challenge good? I mean, you get to grow faster.’ Castiel replied.

‘Lol… I don’t care about competition, with or without it I always work hard to surpass my current self.’ Blake said.

‘Then you shouldn’t be worried about the ranking then.’ Brian stated.

‘The resources of being 1st is needed. It saves me a lot of gold and exchange points.’ Blake said causing Brian and Castiel to wonder if it was the same person that made millions of gold coins during the break.

…

By the time the meeting at the hall was over, it was already noon. So everyone went straight to the canteen for lunch.

When Blake and his team took a seat at one of the tables no one said a word. There was no smile on anyone’s face, but that was when multiple 2nd-year students stood up.

They moved to the center of the canteen and formed a divide that stretched both ends of the canteen.

“Listen up 1st years! This is half of the canteen is for the 2nd year. So if enter get ready for the consequence.” Dustin Ulrik the current rank 2 announced.

“Can you believe this guy?!” Castiel said in an angry tone as he turned to Blake, but he wasn’t there.

“Where did Blake go?”

They looked around the canteen only to see Blake walking past Dustin Ulrik and sitting on an empty table.

‘Lord help the poor soul that gets close to me.’ Blake was pissed and was looking for a fight, but he wanted them to be the first to engage.

Not caring about the hundreds of eyes that were on him, Blake summoned the menu and began ordering lunch.

“You have good eyes, I prefer this table to the one over there.” Luciano said aloud as he and the others joined Blake on his table.

Their blatant actions of disrespect left the 2nd year students flabbergasted, but they could only stand and watch. Touching Blake, Castiel, Brian, and Tessie would make their lives miserable, but touching Luciano would be worse than death.

Seeing what just happened, more first-year students began moving past the divide and occupying empty seats. Further disgracing the seconds that were still standing.

“Nice!” Blake said with a smile on his face as he fist-bumped his friends as they enjoyed their lunch.
