I created my own system

Chapter 40: Chapter 40: Just a chair



From the beginning what's the matter with chairs?

It's just a simple request yet it turns into a dilemma.

"Student we ask you to remove this since it might cause blockage once the flock of students flow towards the door" he insisted while keeping his glaring eyes at me.

Blockage? How can we do that when we are practically beside the wall and the freaking place is huge!

"I will remove this once you take us to our seats"

"Student no seats were given to the lower class" he told deadpanned.

"Oh dear someone is gonna get hurt" Niko whispered to Samael while the latter just felt nervous.

"Why?" I asked but he didn't answer me instead he pointed to the seat I made for my friends and said.

"Remove it or I'll destroy it with my own two hands"

This guy tries to threaten me?

"Does the Academy have insufficient funds that they can't provide a proper welcoming for their students?"

"Student it's just a chair will you die if you can't sit"

"No, but I might kill someone if we don't" I answer while trying to suppress my anger. It wasn't really about the chair that I was angry about. It's the fact that they treat us based on our worth measured by the Academy. That was unfair, these people behind me have received too much pain yet they try to fight and live. But in the end, we are still treated like this.

"You all can just stand and keep quiet. This is just a simple matter yet you make it bigger"

This guy's voice is too loud.

"You know sir sometimes the simplest things are the ones that truly matter. How can we trust you with bigger stuff when you can't even handle the simplest ones? This chair arrangement was simple as you said yet the academy can't even afford to accommodate all of their students"

"If that was the case they should stop calling themselves a sanctum of power, if they can't handle 200 new students then they should never open their gates"

"Student I require you to stop, don't try crossing the line"

He looks at me with his eyes embedded with mana.

You wanna attack me with magic?

Unfortunately, I have other plans

He and I stood right in front of each other not breaking eye contact. The tense atmosphere soon spread attracting the other student's attention.

"I'll remove it"

My answer made the academy staff smirked.

Does this idiot feel he won or something?

I shook my head trying to shake off their disgusting faces.

"And here I thought that kid is gonna rebel," one of the staff said while the one I talked to just snickered and said "No matter what, lower class will remain low. I should have expected that none of them would fight back"

They continue to talk shit but I wasn't interested.

I waved my hand and the sixteen chairs disappeared like bubbles.

"That was sad it was very comfortable to sit on," Matilda said feeling a bit discontent.

I could only smirk then I spoke.

"If they can't give us a seat then no one will sit comfortably"

"Jeremiah"

[Affirmative!]

[initiating skill Disintegrate!]

As the skill activated the seats of every student became dust. Every student was then forced to stand up.

"What just happened!?"

"They just turn into dust!"

"Hey someone explain what's going on!"

"Damn it my butt"

"You are sitting on me, buddy!"

With these sudden events, the academy staff immediately went over to help out. Amongst their panic cries the headmaster began his speech.

Whatever was going on I wasn't paying attention.

"Student!"

"Apollo he came back!" Mckenzie said while urging Alicia to speak to me.

"Apollo let us not do anything that will attract attention" Alicia said but it was too late the academy staff I spoke to before returned.

"Are you the one who did this!?"

"That's is none of your business"

With my answer, I saw a person turn into an erupting volcano. His face turns red as if he is going to explode any minute.

"Now let me call out our top 5 rankers!"

Then the screen switches to show the top five

1. Apollo Lionheart - 537,893 points

2. Caesar Von Celestio - 58,546 points

3. Astrid Obsidianvale- 54,356 points

4. Odysseus Arcanebane - 53,456 points

5. Johan Aaren - 50,274 points

When our names were shown a spotlight was immediately given to us.

"Wait what's going on"

The staff who was about to hold my collar immediately backed out when everyone's attention was shifted to us.

"You are a top ranker?" he started trembling as if he heard something scary.

"Yeah got a problem with that"

I no longer paid any attention to him but I won't let him go easily, so when I walk past him I lightly bump his shoulder with mine.

"Argh!" I heard him wince.

Yes I know it's immature but he deserves it.

"Well, I saw that coming," Blair said while looking at a man who was so arrogant before now coiling on the ground.

"Just what I said these five will receive a reward for their extraordinary achievements during the exam"

"Student Johan Aaren step forward"

The students clapped despite their initial surprise when their seats disappeared, they acted as if nothing really happened.

The headmaster spoke again saying stuff I didn't wanna hear my eyes only glued towards the fifteen students who were isolated among the crowd. Even when they said it was fine, I just couldn't accept it. No matter how simple it may be people shouldn't let themselves be stepped on or be humiliated. Because once you let it slide the same treatment will keep repeating until it'll become a habit.

"Now for our rank 1 please step forward Apollo Lionheart"

I snapped away from my thoughts and immediately went forward.

"For your extraordinary talent, we shall reward this artifact"

I look at the headmaster, his features are strangely familiar to someone. Faded violet hair while his eyes had a shade of blue, however, that's not all as soon as I saw his stats I became vigilant.

"A peak Emperor rank," I thought

"Student?"

"I am sorry I was just nervous"

"It's okay please receive this"

He then extended his hand and a staff appeared. Apollo gasped as he realised its qualities.

"This is!"

"A mithril staff this is your reward as top ranker"

One surprise to another this is a very unexpected reward for me. He then beckoned me to return to where I was standing before which I immediately complied.

"Now I won't hold this speech any longer, I'll be letting all of you go. May you all enrol on the class you wanted"

A clap immediately resounded as soon as he ended his speech. And the professors of different classes went towards the students to help them enrol.

"Finally done" I turn my back and run towards my friends, we should all enrol and head to our dormitory and classroom.

"Oh, he didn't hear me" Unknowingly Apollo didn't hear how the prince called him out.

"That's a bit disrespectful"

"Maybe his mind is just occupied"

"That's okay your highness let's just wait for him in our classroom"

"You are right Seus"

...

While walking dozens of professor approached me and asked me to enrol on their class however I rejected them all.

"Please professor let's just wait for our friend he will enrol in our class" I heard Alya's voice despite the noise and crowd I was currently in.

Did something happen?

Are they being harassed?

I ran and panicked for a moment thankfully I saw a familiar spiky red-haired boy.

"Mckenzie!"

I called and thank god he saw me.

"Hey guys Apollo is here!"

All eyes went to me as I got out of the densely pack people.

"Hello professor I am Apollo Lionheart and I want to enrol in the lower class"

"A top ranker entering the lower class that's a first"

"Huh?"

Right in front of me is the same professor in the entrance exam.

"Professor Adolfo?"

"Yes I will be your class professor from now on"

I sighed in relief since his stats were clear of suspicion.

"I have one less worry now"

"Since everyone is here let me show you, your dorms"

I felt excited as I heard his words, it was my first time living in dorms and not living with the rest of the tower mages. I didn't know that this foreign event would cause me excitement.
