I created my own system

"I'll be staying with those kids I hope you don't mind that"

The girl said leaving nothing behind the throne room.

As she left the six men remained standing, silence was evident because they didn't know what to say.

"Your Majesty"

"Yes"

"How strong is Lady Alicia?"

The archduke could finally ask to which the emperor answered "That my friend is my question too"

After Alicia disappeared from the throne room, she reappeared at the ruined temple.

"Ali!"

Alya immediately grabbed her as soon as she came back.

"Hey Alicia how did it go?"

Keith asked while guiding her inside.

"Wait we are not suspected right?"

Arabella was a bit worried so she asked that question.

"No worries I already settled everything"

"Yes!"

Her words made everyone rejoice causing the atmosphere to be warm. A bonfire was ignited and a feast was made by a couple of children.

"Where is Apollo?"

Despite the happy celebration, Alicia notices his absence.

"Apollo is inside the library and he seems to be tired so we leave him be"

Mckenzie said while handing her a tray of food.

"If you want to see him give him this, he might wake up if you spoke to him"

"I see I'll go then"

Holding the tray Alicia walked through the ruined temple and went inside the library. Amongst the shelves and books, there on one of the small corners of the room, you can see a boy covered in bed sheets and pillows. Apollo was there sleeping comfortably while embracing a pillow. So Alicia doesn't know whether to wake him up or just let him sleep.

"Well might as well leave this here"

She settles the tray beside him, she then puts a preservation spell on it to make the meal warm the same way when she brought it. After putting a spell she got a lid to protect it from any falling objects.

"Many things happened I hope you rest well"

After saying those words she finally left and let the boy take a rest.

"So how did it go?" Mckenzie asked as soon as he saw Alicia return.

"Still asleep"

"Leave the guy be he must be tired from all the ruckus we did"

Blair said while handing a barbecue to Alicia then Casper suddenly suggested something.

"By the way I was wondering if we could start preparing for the first Quarterly exam"

"Oh right, that will happen next week!"

"Was the date already announced?"

"No, I think they will tell us on Monday"

"We still have an entire day to rest so we should spend it nicely"

Niko, Alya, Agnes and Samael talk while circling around the fire. Then as they settled on the topic Braiden began to speak as well.

"We have all the materials we need since the previous lower class left their diaries here"

"I am really thankful they also left letters of encouragement" Vesta spoke feeling the letters were to lighten up the gloomy first-year lower class.

"Speaking of letters I even saw a one-hundred-year-old letter telling us to never give up" Aaron began to share while holding his half-eaten barbeque.

"Wow that's old"

Nino exclaimed while stealing some grilled corn from Blair.

"Wait that's strange I just put my corn here" the latter said before taking another corn to grill.

"We should study and put the materials left behind by our predecessor into good use"

Jillian encourage feeling excited about their upcoming exam.

"By the way what exactly is our Quarterly exam?"

Arabella asked since she was a bit late on the conversation due to her making some juice for everyone.

"From what I know the exam consists of two parts, the written and practical exam" Keith answers her while putting a plate of well-grilled squids and meat.

The aroma of what he cooked filled the nose of his classmates.

"Nice!"

McKenzie hurriedly tried to grab the grilled meat but Casper was a second earlier than him.

"Hey!"

"I got it first"

Then he immediately put the meat in his mouth.

Not wanting to be defeated the boy looked at the plate and grabbed the grilled squid however Samael was way faster than him.

"Not again!"

Samael can't help but laugh at his friend but seeing his expression he decided to give him the squid.

"Here you can have this"

"Nah I'll get another one"

He insisted so he went to grab the remaining grilled meat only to be beaten by Braiden.

"Hey!"

"What?! Did I do something wrong?"

Braiden who just returned from the bathroom confused as to why McKenzie was acting like that. He just grabbed food since he was hungry yet somehow he felt he had done something wrong.

"Do you want it? Here you can have mine" he offered however Mckenzie's expression was still complicated.

"Hey, what's going on here?" Matilda asked as she brought a tray full of meat and squid that Keith had to grill.

"Forget about them, just give more of this marinated sauce"

"Sure wait for me"

Matilda left again and went to make what Keith asked for.

The night went on until the sun replaced the moon in the sky.

"Aaaah!"

A yawn can be heard inside the ruined temple. After that series of groans and the sound of rustling sheets can be heard.

"Morning"

"Morning"

"Why is my chest hurt"

"Oh sorry man I didn't know my legs were on top of your chest"

"Damn you Blair"

"Sorry Braiden, peace be with you"

"Hey did any of you see me holding a book last night? I was reading that before I went to sleep"

"Matilda you mean that book" Casper pointed which made the girl follow the direction he was pointing.

"Wait why is it on the bonfire!"

"Sorry Mati I accidentally kicked your book last night and it kinda flew into the fire"

Niko said apologetically about his mistake, however, Matilda looked murderous and the boy was too stunned to speak.

"I'll replace your book promised"

Scared about his fate Niko grovel making Agnes laugh.

"Hey help me out here" he asked while his friend continued laughing.

Since they all talked and ate last night they all ended up sleeping around the fire though it didn't really cause much trouble except that one incident with Matilda.

"We should clean up first"

Alicia initiated, and then the boys agreed while Keith and some of the girls went to prepare for their breakfast.

After cleaning up the mess they made Alicia decided to check on Apollo.

"I'll be back once I check on him"

"Sure the breakfast is ready okay"

"Okay"

As she went inside the library she found Apollo sitting in the corner she had last seen last night, though she found it weird that he intensively staring at the air.

"Apollo?"

"!?"

"Sorry did I surprise you?" .net

"Oh, since when did you arrive?"

"Just now why?"

"Ah nothing, I just woke up so I won't be able to eat this"

He pointed to the meal she left last night, Alicia only nodded then she spoke.

"Breakfast is ready, everyone is waiting so we should join them"

"Okay I was about to go there as well"

"By the way Apollo?"

"Yes?"

"What were doing a while ago?"

"Ah, that? I was checking the items we got from the assault we did at the temples"

"So? How much did we get?"

"It's massive just looking at it in my ring makes me feel overwhelmed"

It surprised the girl a bit since Apollo was used to the wealth of the tower, so if he felt overwhelmed like he said then she could imagine how much they got from the attack.

"We should tell everyone about that"

"Yeah"

When they arrived a long table was already prepared with sixteen chairs waiting for them to sit on.

"Morning Apollo"

"Morning"

"Since our main character is here let's eat!"

Apollo couldn't help but shake his head at Mckenzie's words. Then the boy's eyes shifted and saw baskets full of freshly baked breath and a warm pot of soup.

"Come on dig in!"

Blair urged and then guided Apollo to sit with them.

"Let's eat!"

The breakfast went smoothly, and after that they hurriedly cleaned up before returning to their dorm.

"We are back!"

Mckenzie announced as soon as he entered the main door. However, his energetic attitude soon dampened when his eyes landed on a certain someone.

"Professor Adolfo?"

"Yes, what nice weather isn't it student Mckenzie?"

A wide brilliant smile appeared on the professor's face however his students felt hellish since they somehow felt a bad thing would happen to them.

Then Adolfo's smile grew wider when he saw Apollo walking beside his classmates.

"What's this? Why is he here?"

Apollo wondered but the professor's appearance made the entire class nervous. Then finally the professor spoke.

"The Quarterly Exam will happen on the 16th day of this month, so these coming days will be filled with reviews of your previous lessons, and also..." he looked at each of his students before continuing.

"This Quarterly exam will be held for three days"

"What?"

"Three days?"

"What do they expect to do have a written exam for an entire day?"

"Shut up Mckenzie"

The kids began discussing though they began to zip their mouths when Adolfo gestured them to quiet down.

"The reason for the exam being held for three days is because a tournament will be held there"

All the students stare at their professor not understanding why they need to put up a tournament on an exam day.
