I created my own system

"Sigh"

I closed my eyes, and sleeping by my side were Mckenzie and Blair both who fell asleep as soon as their back landed on the mattress.

Fire crackles on the fireplace while the luxurious tea room turns into sleeping quarters for sixteen students. Despite my eyes being closed I can still hear what's happening in my surroundings.

Crickets would sing, soothing our tired minds while the night breeze gently touched us giving us assurance of the coming days.

My thoughts started to drift as the lullaby of the crickets cradled my dreams.

The night goes on and the moon begins to light the star-filled sky. And as the hour went by, from the cricket's noises and the night breeze it was replaced by birds chirping and a warm morning breeze.

"Hey, it's morning already..."

"Ah! I didn't review a single damn thing last night!"

"Calm down Braiden didn't we already study last week"

"Vesta I am here the one you are talking to is Mckenzie"

"Ha? Who?"

Alya wanted to laugh at her friend's confused state but decided to approach her.

"Let's go Vesta"

She said guiding her friend towards the bathroom.

"Come on get up people!"

While the two girls went to the bathroom to wash up Arabella went to wake up the others.

"Mael get up already"

"No....wait...five more minutes please...."

"Hey, I said get up!"

While a series of voices began to create a noise it woke up Alicia and Apollo.

"It's morning already"

"I wanna sleep more"

Still sleepy and groggy Alicia decided to crawl towards the bathroom with her hair going all over her face.

"Ahhh!"

Jerome's voice echoes through the hallway making everyone wake up.

"What was that?"

We all asked each other, so curiously we peeked outside.

"Alicia?"

I asked, and there on the floor was Alicia crawling towards the bathroom while brother Jerome was lying flat on the ground unconscious.

"What just happened?"

"I...don't know he just screamed at me then fell down"

Alicia said while her mind was still going here and there.

"It seems morning hits this differently on her"

I realized when she accidentally bumped on a table.

"Apollo"

"Yes?"

"Will she be alright?"

Keith asked me while still holding his pillow.

"Yeah she will handle herself"

As I said that I heard her bump into something again.

"Ah, we should probably fix the tea room"

"Agreed"

While the others fix themselves, especially their mind, we who are sober enough begin fixing and moving the sofas right to their proper places.

"Does anyone here have any idea what will be our exam for Advancement and physical training?" Keith wondered while I busied myself cleaning the fireplace.

Overall our lessons mainly consist of five subjects, each having one and a half hours of lecture.

History and geography on Monday from 8:30- 10:00 am followed by the Beastmology, then lunch and after that are advancement and physical training and lastly Survival Lesson One.

Though this schedule changes every tuesday, thursday and friday with History and Geography being replaced by Magic and Creation 1.

Yesterday we took two exams History and Magcre 1 now we will be having Survival and Beastmology.

"I hope we can handle this"

McKenzie made his appearance dragging his body from the shelves.

"You look like a zombie pal"

I can't help but say.

"How can I not be! Our exam about magcre yesterday gave me nothing but a headache"

Well, I can't argue with that, our exam in magic and creation or magcre was identifying magical herbs and alchemic formulas, however, there was a twist. In order to answer we have to cast a specific spell that corresponds to the answer while being chased by magical beasts.

An example of the question goes like this:

What kind of magical herb nullifies the effects of pepper fire root?

If your answer is Sugar Blum then cast a Fireball

If your answer is Lemon emerald grass cast Water wall

If your answer is Sapphire tangerine cast Earth spike

This was one of the questions we tried to answer while we dodged and killed some magical beast that relentlessly tried to catch us. Then the more difficult the question the harder the spells we need to cast.

Even I was exhausted when Professor Adolfo put a limiter on me.

I still remember how he smiled at me like he was some kind of angel while putting the limiter on my wrist.

"He is so damn cruel"

[Well aren't at least happy you felt the challenge of the exam?]

"I don't feel a single ounce of happiness, Jeremiah"

[How unfortunate my Creator]

After fixing ourselves we eat our breakfast and head straight to the exam building.

"Morning students"

"Good morning Professor Timothy"

"Okay students let me give you all the instructions you need to follow"

"Once you enter the building there will be a holographic model of each beast we tackle, however like your exam yesterday this one has its twist too"

Then he took out a rectangular plate with the number one hundred on it.

"Each of you will have 100 hundred points before the exam starts. If by any chance you fail to identify the magical beast on the hologram that beast will charge and attack you"

"It would what?"

"Don't worry you won't die but your score will decrease, remember each mistake takes 10 points off your total score so you all better be careful"

He said emphasizing each word that will be helpful to us.

"Now then good luck and don't get scared once you are inside, okay"

"Yes professor"

"Alright now run along"

"Be careful okay!"

"Yes professor!"

With our professor's warm and enthusiastic words, we entered the building and saw something we didn't expect.

"A forest?"

I can hear Agnes's bewildered question though I can somehow understand why our surroundings are like this.

"This forest is real and not an illusion" Alicia said while holding the leaves of a plant.

It's amazing how the academy put such a thing inside a building.

"This is a rainforest, which means the beast we need to identify are the magical beasts that inhabit this place"
