My Space-Time System

Chapter 445: Graduation ceremony.

The next morning Blake, Damon, Luciano, Castiel and Brian were all waiting in the cafeteria for Tessie and Camilla to arrive before ordering breakfast.

“What could be taking them so long, I am starving.” Brian let out a helpless sigh.

“Are my eyes playing tricks on me or is it that Brian is the only one complaining about the food?” Castiel couldn’t help but ask as everyone turned to Blake who was sitting quietly.

When it came to anything concerning food, Brian could be considered a lesser version of Blake. That was why they were shocked that Blake didn’t start or join the complaint.

“He is starving because he puked multiple times yesterday leaving him with an empty stomach. So stop looking at me that way.” Blake snorted.

It was then that Tessie and Camilla finally arrived at the cafeteria.

“What took you guys so long?” Brian asked.

.....

They would have said they were tired, but if they were asked why they were tired they couldn’t explain last night’s experience that started quite painful and graduated to intense pleasure and ended in brain-melting quivering that left them drained.

“I don’t really know why, guess we had too much fun last night.” Camilla said causing both her and Tessie to blush as they took their seats.

This wasn’t the first or hundredth time Camilla was sounding cryptic, so the boys just shook their heads and began ordering breakfast.

‘She is cunning, but as long as she is not harming any of us, I like it.’ Blake inwardly smiled.

...

After breakfast, all students packed their belongings and warped to the arena before being warped back to their different schools.

On coming out of the warp array, they moved straight to the hall where they met principal Lovren as well as every professor of the school on the stage.

‘First time in history, they are here before us.’ Blake thought as he took a seat just like every other student.

“You all have made us beyond proud, that is why the entire staff of the Calton magic school would like to congratulate and most importantly, thank every student that made our victory possible.” Principal Lovren as well as every other professor bowed in thanks.

“As you all already know, the regional competition was the final activity in your set stay in the school. So it is time to announce and award the overall best students.” Principal Lovren said as professor Gibson brought out the cushion on which 3 medals were resting

Once they heard that it was the top 3 students that were being awarded everyone knew who they were.

“The best student of the set goes to none other than Blake.”

Once Blake was announced as the overall best student of their set, every single student in the hall including both nobles and commoners stood and continuously applauded as he made his way to the stage.

‘How times change.’ Blake couldn’t help but remember what happened at the end of the first semester in the magic school.

He was the top student of the semester, but instead of getting a standing ovation from every student, it was only his friends and commoners that applauded him.

[Their applause doesn’t mean they like you, but that they respect you and your strength.] The system said.

The system was right, although a large number of the nobles didn’t like Blake, it was without doubt that he had indirectly helped them.

His domination during exercises, tests and exams inspired both commoners and nobles to get stronger. The nobles trained even harder just so they can beat him, while commoners trained to change their situation and to get stronger to prevent being trampled upon.

“Congratulations.” Principal Lovren said as he pinned the medal to his chest.

“Thank you.” Blake shook his hand and returned to his seat.

Once the medals had been given, principal Lovren moved on to the final part of the ceremony.

“The real world is a very dangerous place, so as you all go into it I wish you all the very best, and pray that your thirst for magic never quenches.” Immediately after principal Lovren’s speech was over, the hall was buzzing with applause.

‘That’s all? This was boring compared to the graduation ceremony on Earth.’ Blake shook his head in disappointment as he saw Lovren and all the professors warping out of the hall.

‘So what next?’ Blake couldn’t help but think.

[You can answer that later, first of all, deal with them.] The system pointed at people coming his way.

“Wow!” Blake was shocked when he law a line of people waiting to see him.

“Congratulations Blake!” Layla and Esmeralda were the first people to come to him.

“Thanks.” Blake said as he hugged them.

“Move along there are people behind.”

Someone in the line said when they were taking too much time to let go of him.

“See you later then.” The girls chuckled before leaving the line.

After 15 minutes the line of close to 40 students had ended, but instead of Blake feeling tired and awkward especially for those that were weeping and telling him how he changed their lives. (Blake felt fulfilled for the first time in a long while.)

‘I have been so focused on returning to earth that I haven’t properly cherished the people and moments.’

‘At least, it’s nice to know that my selfish actions and bad decisions turned out to help people.’ Blake reflected on his life in infinite realm as he was making his way to the canteen where he would meet up with his friends.

“Finally you are here.” Damon said.

“Didn’t know that you guys would be hungry in such a short time.” Blake said as he began checking out the menu, but that is when he noticed that no one was ordering any food.

“Oh.” Blake said with a wry smile on his face, causing everyone to facepalm.

“We just ate less than 3 hours ago, how are you still hungry?” Castiel couldn’t help but ask, but Blake acted as if he heard nothing.

“He is on a whole different level, you shouldn’t be comparing me with him.” Brian said in an attempt to redeem himself but he was ignored.

“So why are we here in the first place if we are not eating?” Blake asked.

“We just wanted to chat.” Luciano said as he brought out a bottle of very expensive wine.

It was then that Blake looked around only to notice that almost everyone had at least a bottle of wine on their table.

After pouring the sapphire-coloured wine into everyone’s cup Luciano gestured for him to make a toast.

That was when he stood on his chair before tapping on his glass of wine.

“I know that we all hate each other, but I believe every one of us deserves a toast.” Blake projected his voice to all parts of the canteen using mana.

“Yeah!” Everyone said as they grabbed their glass of wine.

“To make out of this school alive!”

Hundreds of glass went up followed by clinging sounds of glass touching each other.

“So what next after this?” Blake asked.

For a few seconds, the table was silent, but that was when Tessie spoke.

“Since alchemists and beast tamers are rare, I will be helping my family in those sections. Also, my parents want me to get involved in the family business.” Tessie said.

“I still have to undergo some tests, especially in this region before I will be able to take on any official royal duties in the empire. So I wouldn’t be around that much.” Luciano said making everyone a little bit sad.

“As for me, I have no idea of where I will be headed to after this. It all depends on my dad’s plan, he would most likely want me to complete my family’s training before doing anything on my own.” Damon said.

“I have always wondered what family you are from. If it is personal you don’t have to answer.” Blake said.

“There is no problem. I am from the Nyx family and my dad is councilor Jaeger.” Damon said shocking everyone except Luciano.

“You mean one of the founders of the empire and the councilor in charge of the southern region?” Blake asked just to make sure.

“Yeah.” Damon replied.

“You knew about this?” Everyone asked Luciano whose expression hadn’t changed at all.

“Yeah.” Luciano answered.

“Why didn’t you tell us?” They asked.

“You never asked.” Luciano replied causing everyone to facepalm.
