I created my own system
Chapter 330 - 330: Avalanche

At the start of the third quarter, the students were then welcomed with an advanced version of their previous subject, one such was their subject in survival lesson III. From an island, now their test would start in a tundra, according to their professor, it won't be that cold since the academy had specifically chosen that place for their test.

"For now, I want all of you to study the materials I have given you as well as our other lessons, because before you know it, the third quarterly exams will come," Professor Alejo explained.

"Oh, before I forget, a week before your test, we will have drills in the simulation room. Though we typically use it for your lesson in beastmology, it could also be used for a mimicking environment. We will use that to practice your survival skills in tundra-like places"

Alejo then tapped something, and multiple images floated in the air. One of them will be the venue of their test.

The entire class was focused on observing the pictures, Apollo on the other hand glanced at the sky adding something into his mind, "After this day ends I will deal with you Nero"

As the pictures spread a certain one caught Apollo's attention.

"Hm?"

[What is it, Creator?]

"I don't know but somewhere I felt like I had been here before"

It was a place covered in snow just like the others, but there was something that made it appealing to the boy.

[I shall scan that image...

Processing..... Scan complete!]

"It's Inferos" [The place in the image is the island of Inferos]

Apollo and Jeremiah simultaneously said, making the artificial intelligence surprised.

[Do you feel familiar with the place Creator?]

"I am"

[Is it you who felt familiar, or was it the soul fragment inside you?]

Apollo just shook his head before answering, "It's mine I am certain but I am sure I have never been in that place before"

[I know Creator I have your memories as well]

"Were there any signs of my soul assimilating with the great Mage's soul fragment?"

[As of now creating nothing is happening, the fragments are just hovering around your soul and strangely it seems like it's healing your injured soul]

"Wait injured?"

[I didn't notice it at first and I am sure you didn't as well but your soul Creator, it seems to be injured and the fragments are harmonizing with it stabilizing the injured parts]

"Ha...was this the reason I became an Apollo? An injured soul?"

[That is a very rare condition, Creator, only those with unstable mana could be found with this condition]

"Yeah problem is I wasn't able to experience that since I was sealed"

[I think your mana and ki being partly sealed did a good thing, Creator, since you didn't experience mana influx]

"Yeah I sure didn't but I did experience a series of beatings"

He sarcastically said as he held the photo in his hand.

"Do you think which place in the images will be the venue of your exam?" Professor Alejo asked again, pulling Apollo away from his conversation with Jeremiah.

"You may use the simulation room I will be the one who will do the coding of the room, Now let's head first to the equipment room to get you all changed"

The class moved as they were told, and just like their lesson in survival lesson III, their other lesson also began to prepare them for the third quarterly exams. It was already the 23rd of December, winter was already there, and the snow was moving here and there.

"As you all know your winter break will start on the 27th however before that, passing all your subject drills is essential and I must also inform you about the exchange students that already arrived a while back The combat ranking will also commence starting today"

Professor Gelda explained the entire schedule before their winter break. For some academies, their break starts on the 20th of December, but for the Aster Academy, it starts on the 27th of December and ends on the 20th of Ianuarius. Then, on the 25th, their exam for the third quarter will begin.

First years have a choice not to practice in the combat rankings, but if you, by any chance, want to, you need to put your name on the schedule for a fight, and if they find you a match, your fight will commence. Putting that aside, your class for combat and weapon mastery will have drills just like your other classes," she further explained. Then she flicked her finger, and within a second, her magic enveloped her students as it left their uniforms turns into training suits.

"Now let's head to the duel room," she instructed as she stood up to lead them.

For every quarter, subjects are either enhanced or replaced; her subject history and geography were replaced after a quarter, and combat and weapon mastery are the subjects she is teaching now.

Then their last class for the day came and a familiar professor stepped in.

"Good afternoon maggots I'll get straight to the point, Get your body moving we are training in the mountains"

Professor Adolfo said, and before the class knew it, they found themselves in the forest. Snow was flowing down, dulling their senses, and at the same time, the cold temperature was making them slower.

"Now just like any drill, this will be your practice for your test in advancement and physical training, your bodies need to adjust in any given environment so now I will see if you learn anything from the lessons I have taught all of you" then as he said that the students immediately felt a tremor. They immediately knew what was going on and without hesitation they began to run.

"Okay who gets to the foot of the mountain first will be able to rest for five minutes before starting from the top again" he added causing for the entire class to rush down.

[Creator you okay?]

"Yeah...."

He managed to say while dragging his sealed body on the cold snow.

"Shit did he put weights on me?"

[He did and there are plenty of them embedded on the limiters]

Apollo groaned, but somehow he liked this kind of training; it made all his focus remain on his body. His mind was racing as well, calculating the approaching monsters and the speed he should use as he continued descending.

[McKenzie and Matilda are nearing the foot of the mountain]

"Okay"

He just replied then as he laid his eyes on a wooden plank, an idea flashed in his mind.

"Hm....why not!" He immediately grabbed and confidently stepped on its wooden surface like a skateboard.

"Get out of the way!" He shouted because he was descending way too fast.

[Creator your way too fast!]

"It should be fine"

[There is a tree!]

Apollo stirred the board and immediately turned to the left, but as he did so, Braiden, who was running down, was in the way.

"Brain dodge!" He warned seeing his friend's back despite the cloud of fog,

"What!?" He exclaimed, and as he turned back, he saw Apollo dragging a large amount of snow and a monster on his back.

"What the hell!" Suddenly thrown into chaos he tried to dodge his friend's rushing figure.

[You're bound to hit him!]

"Why are you suddenly panicking?"

Apollo was still calm and all he did was use his mana to make Braiden float away from his path.

"There you go," he said in relief, but unlike him, Braiden wasn't really happy. At his back is are horde of beasts and snows

"Damn it is that an avalanche!?"

The circumstances made his body sense danger, and like a trigger, his energy was immediately transported to his legs to increase his speed.

"Arhhhhh!...damn you Apollo!"

He shouted, trying to vent his frustration. On the other hand, his friend Apollo was happily riding his board towards the end of the mountain.

While all this transpired, Alicia, who was at the dead last, was still calm despite the snow dragging her away.

"What the hell is that girl doing? Does she want to be buried alive?" Professor Adolfo wondered, but since he was already aware of the peculiarity of her identity, he decided to just watch.

"Now I wonder what the others are doing," he switched his gaze, however, before what he was seeing registered inside his head, screams and shouts came one after the other.

"Apollo!"

"You sun set haired asshole what kind of mayhem is this!" Aaron shouted while using every drop of his power to run from the calamity behind him.

"It's okay Casper don't shout his name you can just join me here"

Alicia offered while the flood of snow dragged her like a rollercoaster.

"Seriosly Ali hell no!" He just replied, but deep inside, he was nervous.

"Just what kind of turn of events is happening?" Professor Adolfo suddenly questioned, not expecting an avalanche to happen.

"Did student Apollo cause all this?" He added he was about to help but then another shout attracted his attention.

"What's with the avalanches!" It was Samael, then Keith, all looking worn from dodging monsters, but now they need to outrun a moving disaster.

"Oh, by the end of this drill, I think some people might hate Apollo," he chuckled a bit as he observed more.
