My Space-Time System

Chapter 443: Enjoying the moment.

“I actually deserve the manhandling. I asked for it when I brought out the blazing hawk and the armor.” Luciano chuckled.

Although he was taken out in seconds, it didn’t take away the fact that it was a painful experience. The armor was so strong that it prevented him from being taken out in one shot, but he still ended up breaking all his ribs, internal bleeding and so on.

“That reminds, what of the Blazing hawk hope it is okay?” Blake asked.

“It has also been healed up, but was it that obvious that we are close?” Luciano couldn’t help but ask.

“Not sure, but I noticed that it disobeyed Lucas’ command to attack, but obeyed you.” Blake said. “So tell me how both of you are so close.”

Luciano began explaining how he had grown up with the blazing hawk as they ate some muffins.

...

.....

As Blake and Luciano chatted, geomancers used the earth element to prepare a stage at the center of the arena for the presentation of awards.

After 30 minutes, Prince Bryon appeared on the stage causing the arena to be drowned in thunderous applause and cheers. This just showed how much Bryon was loved by the commoners.

“Thank you.” Prince Bryon said as he gestured for the applause to stop.

“To be honest, I shouldn’t be the one to applaud, rather it should be for everyone that took part to make this year’s regional competition a success. From the guards to the students that displayed their incredible talents.” Prince Bryon said causing the crowd to once again burst out in applause because of his humility.

Once the applause and cheers died down, Bryon continued.

“The royal family had created the regional competition as a way to allocate the extra resources as a form of reward to the region that produced the best students.”

“This year, the eastern region came out on top. So I want to thank the professors in the magic schools and most importantly the students that put in their blood and sweat to make sure that the victory came to us.”

Prince Bryon went on to inform the public about some of the projects he would carry out in his region, before moving over to the students.

“In the past 2 days, we have witnessed the start of a journey, where the top future mages of our beloved empire passed through different tests to prove their strength and most importantly the best magic school in the empire.”

“This journey has finally come to an end, so now it is time to reward them for their performance and effort as well.” Prince Bryon announced.

From the 2nd position below were given huge sums of gold coins, and also some positions in the ash corps.

“Now for the number student of the empire who had not only proved his strength, but also his resourcefulness and leadership skill.”

“He would be getting 5 million gold coins, a position as the captain of a special ops unit, and finally an artifact from the royal family.” Prince Bryon.

With the award section over, Prince Bryon left the stage for magical dancers who performed for the crowd.

As for the students, it had been a very long day for them so they returned to the Golden seal hotel to freshen up and rest.

The group were done freshening up and were now having dinner, but that was when Blake suggested that they explored the capital.

“I thought you said this is the best chance to get assassinated. So why change your mind now” Camilla asked the question that was on everyone’s mind.

After the failed assassination attempt on Blake, everyone had removed the thought of leaving the hotel because they could still be used to get to Blake.

“The regional competition is over and a lot of eyes are now on me, especially those of the commoners. So killing me on the same day would be a very bad decision for all nobles.” Blake explained.

“Why do you talk about a possible assassination as if it is nothing?” Tessie couldn’t help but ask after seeing Blake’s expression.

“Because this isn’t the first time someone had attempted to assassinate me. It started in our 1st and has never stopped, so that’s a lot to make me tired of being afraid.” Blake said shocking everyone except Brian and Castiel.

‘How was I so dumb? I should have known that accomplishing so much would put him on the hit list of many nobles.’

‘That explains his hate for nobles and me that time. We just make people’s lives miserable because of our pride and ego.’ Camilla thought, causing her to feel bad for Blake.

She had always thought that Blake’s life was straightforward, but she never knew it was this fucked up. If she knew about Blake’s backstory she would even have been crying for him.

“So are you guys joining or what?” Blake asked again when he saw no one was responding.

‘Yeah, of course.” The group replied.

...

Once they were done with dinner, the group left the golden seal hotel and boarded a carriage that took them to a few important sites before heading to the amusement park

Because Brian went missing on their last visit, they had to cancel and return to the hotel after their first ride. Meaning they still had a lot to do there.

By the time they got to the Blazing Park, it just turned dark, but they didn’t care because this was their last day in the capital.

They went straight for the blazing wheel, and this time Brian had joined them because he wanted to face his fear of height. Also, his fear of getting abducted was greater than that of height.

‘I think about my next step when I get back to Calton, for now, I will just enjoy the moment.”
