My Space-Time System

At first, the students were confused by Owen's sudden comment. The first year students were the first to understand, but Major Reeves and the second year students were still oblivious to what it meant. They quickly turned back to the battlefield where they now saw Blake falling.

"Did his floating orb run out of energy?" A second year student couldn't help but ask because Blake had just recharged a few minutes ago.

That was when a spatial tear opened below Blake. He fell into it and came out above the octopus elephant with Ebony and Ivory in his hand.

"Let's end this!" Blake released an electromagnetic field that attracted the void daggers back to him before using flamebursts to launch himself towards the octopus elephant at full speed. The 9 feet tall tank couldn't sense Blake when he disappeared, but when it got track of him it was already too late.

Immediately Ebony and Ivory came in contact with the octopus elephant, it went through its skull and brain without obstruction, but Blake wasn't done yet.

Pulling the greatsword out of the head, Blake used the floating to generate more power as he kicked down on the octopus elephant before jumping back into the air with his sword aimed at the beast's neck.

Swish!

THUD!

The students were stunned when they saw the head of the octopus elephant fall straight to the ground.

"What grade is his sword?" A student couldn't help but ask.

This question has been on every 1st-year students' mind. It was now common knowledge to everyone in their set that they shouldn't try to block Blake's attack, this was because a lot of students had gotten destroyed by Blake.

"Is it epic tier?" Another student asked.

"That's impossible! It's most likely that it is a peak high-quality sword with an ability that increases its sharpness."

The argument wasn't wrong because dreaming of Blake getting an epic or legendary tier weapon was impossible, talk more of getting his hands on one.

"Even at that, the octopus elephant's head shouldn't be decapitated that easily. That should be a very special sword." Serhan pointed out. The other students nodded to Serhan's deduction, but it was only Major Reeves that knew they were very wrong. He had closely watched what happened, and he didn't sense the sword activating any ability.

With more than 20 years of experience in the ash corps and having epic tier weapons in his possession, Major Reeves knew the limits of both epic tier weapons and high-quality tier weapons. It was an easy feat for the former, but not for the latter.

It was only peak high-quality tier weapons that could do that, but even at that, they had to use the weapon's abilities, if not all to match such feat.

'How did someone so young get his hand on an epic tier weapon? Are they now so common that anyone can pick them up on the road?' On the inside, Major Reeves was fuming because he went through hell and back to get the ones in his possession, but a 1st year student already had one.

Unknown to Major Reeves, he was very wrong. If he knew that Blake was using a legendary tier weapon he would have died on the spot because of jealousy.

…

Once he was done with the octopus elephant, Blake returned to the pillar before flying back to the wall with his team.

With Blake's team being the last to kill their target, the 1st phase of the exercise was over. It was time for the analysis before moving to the 2nd phase.

"Before talking about the team with the best performance. Let's talk about you guys." With this comment, it was clear that Blake's team had once again come out on top, but it raised a lot of questions.

How were they the best performing team when they were the last to complete the exercise?

"I was expecting at least a member of a team to fall to the ground, especially the 1st years. Because of this, you all will be graded 4/5." Major Reeves moved over to the

"As for the 2nd year teams, I was thinking of sending all of you back to the school if the 1st years outperformed you, but once again you all showed that you aren't too useless." Major Reeves said to the 2nd year students.

The targets assigned to the 2nd years were no different from those of the 1st year students. The only difference was that all the 2nd year teams had used fusion magic to quickly end the battle, while the 1st year teams had to battle it out.

"I would have given you all a 3/5 because you all used fusion magic, but because the main goal was killing your target it would be a 4/5." Major Reeves could from their micro-expressions that a lot of them weren't happy with the grading.

"Everyone here knows that on a 1v1 situation everyone here can kill their targets so we decided to switch things up. The main aim of the exercise is to test your ability to quickly adapt to situations thrown at you." Major Reeves said. "On multiple occasions, the 1st years have proven that they can quickly adapt to different situations, but you all fail to impress me."

"Even though you guys are ahead in both experience and power, you didn't try to adapt to the situation, instead you chose the easy way out.

I won't reduce your points because you still completed the task, but since you missed the lesson don't expect to be graded higher than those that didn't miss it."

Even if they were allowed to talk, the Major's words left the second year teams tongue-tied because it made them realize how shameful their performance has been.

As the seniors, they were meant to easily dominate all the exercises, but apart from the magic cannon lesson they mostly lost to the 1st year teams and drew the rest.
