My Space-Time System

Chapter 383



Chapter 383: In search of a challenge.

The next day.

Immediately after their final class for the day, Blake made a few inquiries before walking up to the rank 10, Aaron Nystrom.

Aaron was a 17-year-old who stood at a height of 6’1″ feet (1.85 meters). His red short hair and pale skin reminded Blake of Ron from harry potter, but the freckles on his cheeks and the condescending smirk that was always on his face were sharp contrasts.

“I challenge you to a ranked match.” Blake said to Aaron as he tapped his school badge to make the challenge official.

Blake’s announcement caused Aaron’s heartbeat to start racing, but he soon calmed himself down because he had been making preparations for this day.

For 2 weeks now, Blake’s actions had made it clear that he was attacking only the demoted 2nd-year students. So everyone in the top rank had been preparing for when they would get challenged by him.

Some were well aware that they had no chance, but their main goal was to stop making the demoted 2nd year keep losing face to him.

…..

“For those who want to spectate, move over to the battleground.” Instructor Zirrack said as he appeared and warped Blake and Aaron to the battleground.

‘I thought the officials were chosen at random. So why is it always instructor Zirrack officiating my matches?’ Blake couldn’t help but ask.

[You just had 3 ranked matches so far and you think he has been assigned just for your matches?] The system said.

‘Out of the tens of Professors in the academy, only one is assigned to me 3 times in a row? Something is fishy.’ Blake said.

[Or you might just be overthinking it.] The system snorted at Blake’s paranoia.

Once the crowd of students had arrived, and the combatants were done with their preparations, Zirrack signaled for the battle to start.

“Begin!”

“This is the first time I will be fighting a photomancer. Hope you make the fight interesting.” Blake said with a smirk, but Aaron just ignored him.

To prevent instant victory for Blake, Aaron immediately cast an earth dome to protect him, while he cast mirror spells to see what was happening on the outside.

“He is not moving? I will teach him a lesson about being cocky.” Aaron dropped the thorny seed of the mother tree unto the ground causing it to burrow through.

Mother Tree!

Roots of the Mother tree began sprouting around the battlefield, before the tree itself sprouted from below, lifting the earth dome 6 meters into the air.

[Are you sure you want to let him make every preparation before you attack?] The system said to Blake who hadn’t moved an inch out of his original position.

‘Yes.’ Blake replied. ‘I know it is dumb to not take him out now, but I want to challenge myself.’

‘After yesterday’s battle with the sklade, I realized that not only did I properly analyze my opponent and plan my every move, but I felt more fulfilled after the fight.’

‘At this point, Ebony and Ivory is a cheat code that allows me to maul my opponents without any effort.’ Blake explained.

While Blake and the system were having their conversation, Aaron had brought out the large containers of beast blood from his dimensional space and began pouring them on the mother tree.

“This might be more exciting than I thought.” Blake said with an excited smile on his face.

With so much blood being poured on the mother tree, it took a few seconds before Aaron was able to activate the 2nd stage of the mother tree.

The mother tree increased to 8 meters in height and the number of vines as well as their thickness had doubled, covering almost the entire battleground.

“Is he planning on staying in there all day? I didn’t know I was feared that much.” Blake chuckled pissing off every demoted 2nd-year student around the battlefield. .

“I think I have given him enough time to prepare.” Blake said as he cracked his knuckles and activated lightning reinforcement.

‘He’s not planning on using his sword?’ Aaron sneered at Blake’s overconfidence.

“Let’s begin!” Blake immediately dashed forward at astonishing speeds.

Once he got to the outskirts of the Mother Tree’s vines, Blake began conjuring mana steps that he ran up until he got to the same height as the earth dome on the Mother Tree.

‘Weakness of plant type user, aerial attacks.’

Just as he stepped on the last step, Blake launched himself towards the Mother Tree with a large flameburst propelling him.

On covering half distance of the Battleground, the thick thorny vines of the Mother Tree shot up forming a plant wall all around the Mother tree.

‘Plants can’t stop me!!!’

Not slowing down one bit, Blake enveloped his body with layers of mana, fire, and more lightning at his fingers tips.

BOOM!

Blake broke through the wall of plants with a loud bang, but immediately he was at the other side of the wall he saw 2 rocks half the size of a soccer ball hurling toward him.

“Interesting…” Blake didn’t slow down, but just as he was about to collide with the rocks, a spatial corridor opened in front of him.

‘Seems like he prepared for the weakness.’ Blake thought as he stepped out of the spatial corridor and appeared at his original location which he had marked.

(AN: This is the marking ability Zultra displayed in class. Also, remember he gave him a book on that.)

Although the rocks looked nothing special, Blake was able to see with mana vision the large amounts of mana was pack into each ball.

‘My guess is fusion magic. Too bad I couldn’t see the effects of the fusion magic.’ Blake clicked his tongue.

At this point, Blake was looking for every and anything that would give him inspiration on how fusion magic worked.

“Guess, it’s time to go again.”
