My Space-Time System

…

The next day after everyone had a good rest, the atmosphere of the first floor of the castle was bubbling. Currently, they had no classes or any other kind of burden so far, allowing them to do whatever they liked, and that included Blake.

He was playing the popular spin ball game with Luciano, Brian Castiel, and Tessie. The spin ball game involved the players continuously controlling a ball using mana to rotate it while they passed it on to the next player who would take control of the ball before it touches the floor. Whoever lost control and caused the ball to touch the floor was out.

The regular one ball was way too easy for them, so they added 2 extra balls and juggled them to complete 2 cycles before passing them.

"What are your plans for the break?" Tessie asked as she passed the ball to Castiel.

"We plan on following Blake to take as many commissions as possible from the adventurer's association. Oh, we have to register first." Brian was the first to speak up and Castiel nodded in agreement.

"What about you? Don't tell me you will just rest for the entire break?" Blake asked as he took control of the balls from Luciano.

If it was back on Earth it would be believable because it was a normal thing for him and other gaming teens to spend close to 15 hours or even more playing videogames, but this wasn't earth it was Infinite realm.

Unlike Earth which had its entire population indulging in one form of entertainment or another, the indigenes of infinite realm focused mostly on cultivation and their research, leaving the entertainment industry very underdeveloped. Even the spin ball game which was a very popular game was also a way to train one's mana control.

(AN: Lol... That's too much training XD)

"I said that because I had no idea of what I wanted to do for the break. Now I have decided to practice a lot of alchemy for the break and to train my fighting capabilities I will head to the forest to gather what I can find and fight beasts that might attack." Tessie said with an excited look on her face as she took control of the balls and began the first cycle.

Blake would have loved to remind her to be careful when she was in the forest where anything could happen, but saying so would make him look overprotective and will surely bring strange ideas into the mind of people like Brian.

"I will be returning to the Capital for more training..." Luciano answered.

Although it was a short answer, they appreciated the fact that Luciano had begun opening up to them.

Before he would ignore things that he didn't want to talk about and there were a lot of things he didn't want to talk about, thereby forcing the group to awkwardly change the topic, but recently he tried to answer them and if they were too private and uncomfortable he would say it.

"Who do you guys think will be the overall first position between the two of you?" Tessie asked as she completed the second cycle and passed it to Castiel.

"Undoubtedly Blake."

The group turned to the direction of the voice came from, lo and behold it was the 'forgotten' Camilla.

Camilla intercepted Castiel's pass and completed the cycle before passing it to Brian, causing Luciano to slightly furrow his brows.

The others didn't like how Camilla badged into their game without permission, but they didn't want to ruin the mood so they decided to keep calm.

"The first position doesn't matter to me. The reason I am the first position is that I train hard to become stronger, thereby making me outstanding when I try to gather points for things I need and mostly because Luciano lets me." Blake said while looking straight into Camilla's flirtatious eyes.

He wasn't trying to be modest, the truth was that if Luciano decided to get more serious about the ranks and points, Blake would have a harder time because, with his unlimited resources and talent, he could surpass Blake with just the right amount of beast cores, artifacts, pills, and potions.

"Let's forget about that. Tell me why you haven't come to see me in such a long time?" Camilla asked while glaring at Tessie.

'Why did I have the feeling that shit like this will happen… Wtf is wrong with her?!' While he was cursing Camilla, he soon noticed that the pressure that she was putting on Tessie.

"Leave…" At this point, Luciano couldn't hold back his anger anymore, he was just looking for an excuse to lit the intruding Camilla. Not only did she intrude but she also had the guts to make one of his friends uncomfortable in his presence.

What impetus!

Everyone was surprised when they turned to Luciano who was fuming with anger.

'And mom said I was a hothead.' Blake thought. 'Ops won't want the game to end so quickly.' Blake quickly controlled the 3 balls that Tessie had lost control of because of the too many unfolding events.

"…" Camilla was shocked by Luciano's reaction.

The Luciano she knew was indifferent to almost everything, except for things that concerned him and recently, Blake. That was why she had targeted Tesse because Castiel and Brian couldn't do anything because of their rank.

If Blake would try to interfere, he would feel a bit awkward because of their past 'relationship', giving her more time to oppress her competition but everything had gone down the drain all because of Luciano.

Camilla was brought out of her reverie when she saw Luciano conjured a ball of flames in his hand.

"I am leaving!" Camilla quickly hurried out of the area in fear of Luciano's reaction.

'Just like father said they are all mad. They may seem calm but they are always raging within.' Camilla thought as she began thinking of the consequences of the turn out of events.

'Why is he angry, is it because of the girl or did I in any way say something bad about Blake? Anyways, I have angered him, so I have to be more careful how I act around him… and those 4.' Camilla thought in genuine fear for Luciano.

…

'I must say she is one scheming b*tch…'
