My Space-Time System

Chapter 420: Why should I?

Once Blake came down from their back, Ebony and Ivory wasted no time in charging at the sabertooth moose.

Just after taking 2 steps, Haiti and Skoll jumped up into the air before twisting their body and turning into a flaming drill that crashed into one of the female sabertooth moose.

BOOM!

The armored body of the sabertooth moose splattered, and the scorching heat coming from Ebony and Ivory instantly evaporated the blood.

It took them but a look to freeze the male sabertooth moose and the female he was on top of, before sending a fireball that shattered the ice sculpture.

The overbearing presence of Ebony and Ivory left the last sabertooth moose rooted to the spot as it waited for its judgment.

Once Ebony and Ivory turned back to it, the sabertooth moose was set ablaze and in a matter of seconds, it turned to ashes.

.....

“Oh, shit!!!” Blake’s mind was blown by the spectacle that had just taken place.

Awoo!

Ebony and Ivory howled in joy that their dad was happy about their performance.

“Time to test your individual strengths.” Blake instructed them to return to their normal form.

In their separated form, Ebony and Ivory were 2 meters tall and possessed fierce faces and razor-sharp fangs that would make champions wet themselves.

Ebony had fear-inducing pitch black fur with red glowing markings all of its body, representing the fire element constantly coursing through his body.

As for Ivory, she had soft snow-white fur that would tempt anyone looking at them to touch. On her body were glowing blue markings that represented the ice element coursing through her body.

This time, they weren’t going hunting for another group of beasts. Instead, they were just going to practice their elements.

...

3 days later everyone was done with their preparations and was present at the school hall.

“The top 15 students would be teleported to the capital first, before the rest of the elite class.” Principal Lovren said as the warp arrays were activated.

“Yes?” Lovren gestured for Blake to continue with his question.

“We haven’t been briefed about what the competition would be all about.” Blake voiced everyone’s thoughts.

“That’s because no one knows.” Principal Lovren said. “To prevent the competition’s event from leaking, they would be randomly selected on the spot.”

“Alright.” Blake said as he and the other 14 top-ranking students stepped into the warping arrays.

5 students stood in each array, and once the exit point had been triangulated, the circular light rose from below and once it dropped, they found themselves in a large array room.

They were currently in the 2nd largest arena in the capital city.

“Please follow us.” 2 ash corps members that had been waiting for arrival led them to a lobby filled with other students from different regions of the Synder empire.

‘Just as expected, 95% of them are nobles.’ Blake shook his head in disappointment.

While Blake was still assessing everyone in the room, the rank 1 student of the capital, Lucas, walked up to Luciano.

“It’s been more than a year since I last saw you at the capital.” Lucas said as he gave Luciano a bow.

Lucas stood at a height of 6’3 feet (1.9 meters) tall and had blond wavy that was tied up in a bun. He had charming blue eyes, but unlike that of Luciano that carried authority, his was charismatic.

Lucas was dressed in grey leather pants and a blue cotton shirt that emphasized his lean muscles.

“I have been staying with Bryon during the holidays. So I couldn’t make it back to the capital.” Luciano replied with an unchanging expression.

“I am glad to see you in good health. Hope you have fun in the regional competition.” Lucas gave a bow before leaving.

Blake on the other hand was still scanning the room, but that was when he heard someone behind him.

“Move!”

On turning to the voice Blake saw Lucas causing him to smile.

“Why should I?” Blake said with a smirk causing the entire room to become quiet as all eyes were on them.

“Don’t make me repeat myself.” Lucas said with an annoyed look on his face.

“And if you do, what would happen?” Blake said with a yawn, causing almost everyone in the room to gasp.

They shook their head at Blake’s stupidity because not only was Lucas the strongest in the capital’s magic school, but he was also a member of the royal family.

“You will pay for this!”

Since fighting in the lobby would lead to an automatic disqualification, Lucas was forced to accept the disgrace and walk away.

‘Why are nobles so dumb? There was a lot of space but he chose to make a mockery of someone, but when the person refuses to be mocked you take an offense and want to punish him?’ Blake was confused by Lucas’ logic.

‘Are you sure that was the best thing to do, this isn’t Calton?’ Castiel couldn’t help but ask in the mind link.

Castiel was afraid because not only did they not have home advantage, but Lucas wasn’t just any noble.

‘According to the law, the only people that can order you around are; The Emperor, his sons, counselors, and high-ranking ash corps officials.’ Blake said.

‘You know we aren’t talking about public consequences, but those that would happen behind the eyes of the public.’ Castiel said.

‘That makes it better because it would only mean more trouble for him when Prince Bryon and Luciano get involved.’ Blake said.

‘What if they decide not to get involved?’ Brian couldn’t help but ask.

‘Then I handle the problem myself.’ Blake said with a smirk causing both Castiel and Brian to wonder where his confidence came from.

‘One thing for sure is that the highest they can send to deal with me would be the demigod realm, but with Ebony and Ivory I would either be able to kill them or escape.’ Blake thought to himself.
