My Space-Time System

487 Back together (part 2).

“What’s up guys, it’s been a while since I heard from you guys.” Blake said as he came down the stairs with Camilla’s hands in his.

‘He really is one lucky bastard.’ Castiel couldn’t help but envy Blake’s relationship with both Camilla and Tessie.

‘What still amazes me is how he is able to get all the ladies without even trying!’ Brian thought as he saw Blake and Camilla.

It was already extremely difficult to see a lady that could compare to Tessie and Camilla in terms of beauty, let alone be in a relationship with both of them at the same time.

“Recently we have been on back-to-back missions and most of them have been away from not only Calton, but civilization in general.” Castiel said as he sat on a single sofa and let out a sigh of relief.

“How are the missions going?” Blake asked as he walked into the kitchen and got a bottle of wine.

“So far we have been able to maintain our 100% success rate, but to be honest, things haven’t been easy since you left.” Brian said.

Blake’s absence was a huge blow to the team. They no longer had the cheat code that was the locator spell, so they had to stay away from investigation missions.

Apart from that they no longer enjoyed the versatility of the space element that drastically reduced the difficulty and danger of the mission. Most importantly, they missed Blake’s leadership and planning skills.

.....

“How has the ash corps been treating you guys?” Castiel asked Blake and Camilla.

“Unfortunately, we joined the ash corps at the busiest time of the year.” Camilla let out a sigh as she remembered the nerve-racking stress she had to pass through in the last 3-4 months.

“I bet that level of stress would have been a piece of cake for Blake.” Brain said causing everyone to laugh.

“I still wonder how he was able to live the life of an adventurer and still top the class in all categories.” Tessie said.

‘Me too.’ Castiel thought.

If one was to say Blake was lucky because of the system, Ebony and Ivory, and the space, they would be dead wrong.

For the 3 years they had been with Blake, they had seen the sacrifices and crazy amount of effort he put into everything he did. He literally didn’t have any social life outside them because of it.

Even his so-called blessings came with their own problems. For example, his extra element meant more time, energy and beast cores would be needed to advance to the next still Blake was ahead of the class where top nobles with almost unlimited resources were ever-present.

For Ebony and Ivory, not only did Blake spend a lot of time and fortune to bring them up to this level, but the process of acquiring the legendary sword almost took their lives.

“Because I make it look easy doesn’t mean it is. Besides having to answer and deal with people, especially foolish ones is stressful.” Blake said.

“How is that stressful? You only have to deal with 10 people, while I have 50 people under me.” Camila sniggered.

“I wanted to know, how are you so good at leading people?” Castiel couldn’t help but ask.

“It depends on my relationship with them.” Blake said as he opened the bottle of wine, and poured it into everyone’s cup. “If I don’t know them then I would try to know their individual weaknesses and strengths to boost our synergy and make incorporating them into my plans easier.”

“Then when it comes to making plans, I will always expect the worst and create multiple backup plans for every scenario I can think of.”

“The major difference between you guys and randoms is that I would have fewer backup plans.” Blake explained.

“That’s so many backup plans, don’t you get headaches?” Tessie asked as she picked up her glass of wine.

“Better than being six feet under.” Blake said as he picked up his glass cup and made a toast.

“To friendship and to love!”

They chatted for a bit longer before Camilla and Tessie went into the kitchen to cook.

With the girls gone, they went up to the bedroom where Ebony and Ivory lay to discuss personal things.

“I am currently investigating the cause of the beast tide, and I have a feeling that it would give us at least a hint about our goal on this planet.” Blake said as he activated his mind link with them.

“From the reports I have seen, I have been able to notice a kind of pattern.” Blake said as he handed over different papers.

“Beasts that stay around or inside thranium crystal mines not only have higher intellect, but they tend to be more united even after the beast tide.

“Also, I discovered that it is during the beast tide that the ash corps discover and mine the most thranium mines.” Blake explained.

“Are you saying, thranium crystals are responsible for the beast tide?” Castiel couldn’t help but ask.

“I can’t verify my claims, at least for now.” Blake said.

If Blake’s hunch ended up being correct, it would only lead to even more questions; like how the pink energy affected the beast’s anatomy, how it had escaped detection all these years, why it didn’t affect humans even those that were constantly exposed to it, how to end the beast tide for good, and many more.

“Any luck on your side?” Blake asked.

“Nope.” Castiel answered causing Blake to furrow his brows.

‘From the way he replied so nonchalantly it feels like they are not even trying.’ Blake thought.

“Since you guys are not able to get any info, why don’t you guys join me at the ash corps. I can request prince Byron to assign you guys to my team.”

“With 3 of us, we would complete missions easily, get promoted quickly, and be able to access higher pieces of information” Blake said.
