My Space-Time System

[During my time, the academy castles were crafted artifacts, and it is still the same although it is not as powerful.] The system said.

'Artifact?' The trio asked. When the word artifact is mentioned, the first image to pop up in their minds would be something like a hand-held object.

The only exception they had seen so far was Azkelwart's base, and that was 1 of a kind. So it shocked them that they had been living in one for almost a year now.

'I knew of the space distortion, but I hadn't expected the entire building to be an artifact.' Blake said.

Every student and professor knew that space distortion was the reason why inside the castle was more than double its outer appearance, but many had no clue why.

"Let's go check out the changes."

With the castle going from a 5 storey building to a 3-storey building, it was sure to have major changes. So they first headed to their rooms to make sure nothing had changed.

"How is the business doing, we keep receiving huge loads of gold coins?" Brian asked as they walked through the hallways.

According to the contract with everyone involved in the company. Apart from giving suggestions, it was only Blake and Luciano that could make decisions.

So since it had been almost 2 weeks since they had seen Blake, they were clueless about what was going on.

"The humidifiers sold like hotcakes, especially when I introduced the customization feature." Blake began explaining how the company had exponentially grown in the last 2 weeks, and also his current plans.

"Do you think the lower version would sell?" Brian asked as he opened the door to his room.

"I can't be certain because I don't know the spending habits of commoners, but I plan on adding functions that meet their needs." Blake replied.

Once they saw no change in Brian's room, they moved over to that of Castiel while they continued chatting.

"There are a lot of stores in the middle region, so wouldn't your advertisement plan be too costly?" Castiel asked because he was estimating thousands of gold coins worth of humidifiers.

"Compared to our profits, we wouldn't even notice." Blake replied as he silently cursed infinite realm for making him waste thousands of gold coins because it was primitive in the advertisement sector.

'What if I make the google of this world?' Blake thought.

After they had confirmed nothing different had happened to their room. The trio began touring the entire castle, and their next stop was Blake's favorite place.

"What the hell?!" The trio was shocked when they stepped into the canteen. Not only had the number of entrances to the canteen doubled, but the canteen itself also doubled.

"Aren't those 2nd-year students, what are they doing here?" Brian pointed at students coming from the opposite entrance of the canteen.

"Is it what I think it is?" Blake couldn't believe what was on his mind, but what he was seeing was hard to disregard.

"Let's have a sit, I want to check something." Blake said with a deep frown on his face.

Blake was munching on some breadsticks as the trio watched everyone coming in from the entrance at the opposite side of the canteen.

"You make it hard for me to take you seriously." Brian couldn't believe that the Blake frowning seconds ago was smiling as he ate.

"Food makes me happy." Blake said with a wry smile.

Throughout 5 minutes of watching the entrances, it was only 2nd-year students were going through the entrances.

This made it easy for them to conclude that the entrances on the opposite sides of the canteen led to what used to be the 1st floor (2nd-year floor).

"What was the school board thinking when they thought of this idea?" Brian couldn't believe how stupid the school was.

There was already a divide between first-year students. So bringing in the second-year students was no different from starting a civil war

"We have one more thing to check out." Blake said as he stood up and began leaving the canteen.

He suspected 2 things, and the first 1 had just been confirmed. So he was going to check out his 2nd suspicion which was the worst thing.

"Where are we heading to?" Brian and Castiel asked.

"The classrooms." Blake answered, confusing them for a few seconds before they realized his plan.

Unfortunately for them, the classrooms and even the school's forge were no longer in their previous location. Rather they had been moved to a central location just like the canteen.

"Just like I suspected." Blake said as he walked into one of the classrooms and saw that it was also twice its usual size just like the canteen.

"This doesn't even make sense. Why would they want to combine both years?"

"Are they demoting the 2nd year students, or are they promoting us?"

"What happens to the ranking system and the elite class?" Blake clutched his head as he tried to figure out what was going on.

One thing he didn't like was massive abrupt changes, and this was more than massive. This was something that had never happened throughout the history of the school.

[From everything I have seen so far. I would say they are demoting the second year.]

[From all competitions that involved both levels, you guys outperformed them in teamwork and equal them in strength. So I guess that they are demoting them.] The system answered one of Blake's many questions.

"This is very bad." The trio all had deep frowns on their faces as they thought of their next moves.

At this point, Blake felt even more pressure on his shoulders to fill up the last 3 stars and find a way to complete the advancement test.
