My Space-Time System

Chapter 380: Man on a mission.

Immediately after Instructor Zirrack gave the signal to begin, arcs of lightning burst out of Blake’s body.

‘I am not giving him a chance to lift a finger.’ Blake took in a deep breath, causing the lightning arcs to double in both size and intensity.

This was the Raiju Breathing technique, meaning Blake wasn’t playing around. He had no idea what element Ilan awakened, but it didn’t matter.

Blake dashed forward, instantly appearing in front of Ilan who was in a battle stance, before giving him a thrusting blow that lifted him off his feet and connecting with a right hook to the face.

Just when he was about to fly off, Blake pulled Ilan’s right hand, before using his left leg and stomping on his knee.

Crack!

The sound of shattering bones echoed all around the battlefield, causing the students to gasp in shock by the gruesome sight.

…..

Not caring about the reaction of the spectators, Blake fully stretched Ilan’s right hand before dishing out palm strikes that broke his elbow.

Thud!

Without letting out a scream, Ilan dropped to the floor before with his eyes wide open.

“You… don’t… sound… so… tough… now!” Blake said as he continuously stomped the head of the noble.

“Stop the match he is already unconscious!” Some 2nd year students protested but Instructor Zirrack ignored them.

Zirrack was well aware that Ilan was still conscious. The reason he wasn’t moving or making any sound was that right from the 1st punch Blake had landed, he had been stunned by the effects of both the Raiju breathing technique and being an electrode (The champion realm of the lightning pathway).

It was after a few more seconds of stomping that the golden barrier enveloped Ilan, marking the end of the rank battle.

“Blake wins the rank match, and has now climbed to the 20th rank.” Instructor Zirrack announced before warping out of the battleground with the unconscious Ilan. ｂ𝚍𝚘𝚟ｌ.ｎｔ

“How is his lightning reinforcement so fast?”

“I thought I was the only one that noticed, even that of Serhan isn’t as fast as his.”

The 2nd year students were wondering how Blake was so fast that Ilan couldn’t react in time, while the 1st year students didn’t see any much difference because so far they had no one higher than Blake to compare him with.

The 2nd year students were actually right. Blake’s speed was greater than that of Serhan, and the main reason for that was his 3rd element.

The fusion process is the main reason for champion realm spells to have more power than those in the warrior realm. It did so by merging the pathways of both elements into one. So no matter the element being used, the stars of the 2nd element would supply their power to the spell.

In the case of Blake, 3 pathways had been merged into one which was why he had always been faster than even those from the Karius family. The main reason why it was more noticeable now was that he had filled the stars of the champion realm and was a step away from the Hero realm.

‘Should I go for the next one?’

As the others were comparing who was the fastest, Blake was wondering if he should challenge the next victim and climb to the top.

The rules of the ranked matches were that anyone at any rank could directly challenge the 20th rank.

It was only when they got through the top 20 that they could challenge any at or below the 10th rank.

From the 10th rank, he could now challenge the 3rd rank, then the 2nd, and finally the rank 1.

‘Nah, there is no need to rush and rank up. If I play it well, I could use the rank matches to help my advancement tests.’ Blake said to himself.

Right on the spot, Blake devised the plan of using the ranked matches as a public punishment for second-year students.

Once he caught anyone bullying a 1st-year student, Blake would beat up his or her goons before challenging them and disgracing them in front of both years.

‘This is definitely going to work.’ A smirk formed on Blake’s face as he could feel the Hero realm at his fingertips.

…

2 weeks later.

Blake had risen directly to the 15th rank after the previous rank 15, unfortunately, got his attention. Not only was she disgraced by the one-sided beat down, but Blake had inflicted traumatizing injuries that couldn’t be healed with only spells.

During the 2 weeks, Blake had been saving a lot of 1st-year students from being bullied.

Since he had filled up his stars, Blake had plenty of free time. So he had increased his area of operation from the canteen to hallways and secluded areas.

His actions made it clear to both 1st-year commoners and nobles that Blake was on a mission to show the demoted 2nd years that they weren’t to be messed with.

As for the progress of all his classes in the last 2 weeks. Blake had mastered the simultaneous activation of 2 pathways and was currently practicing activating all 3 at once.

The forgemastery class was slow as usual mostly because Professor Tacitus was lazy, but no class was as difficult as that of Instructor Zirrack.

Last semester they had learned body enhancement, but this semester, Instructor Zirrack planned on taking it to the next level.

The body enhancement was the absorption of mana by the body, giving it an all-round enhancement.

Zirrack planning on teaching them the 2nd stage of body enhancement, in which when mastered their bodies would no longer need to absorb mana because everything down to the bones would become a channel for mana to pass through.

Every class involved them always circulating mana around their bodies while they performed exercises that even top bodybuilders on Earth would find very difficult.

It was both extremely physical and mentally tiring, but these were words that had become synonyms for Zirrack.
