I created my own system

Spectator's Pov.

The battle started while our hearts were beating nervously, not because of how intense the fight was, but because we were afraid he might go wild and then turn into a white ghost. What we all experienced in the entrance exam left a deep mark on our minds. The explosion, the burns and the blinding lights keep coming back to us.

It wasn't easy to forget all those things since such events can make anyone traumatized.

Then the sudden rumours of his extreme personality made it even worse, however out of all the news and hearsay we hear, there is one truth we all believe in.

Never let Apollo Lionheart get serious in a fight, or you will face terrible consequences. He was the strongest among us and we believe that even the seniors won't be able to act around him.

The match continued and by the end of it, most of us felt our hearts coming out of our bodies. It was because of a sudden surge of flames that soon turned into a huge pillar, it was right at the boundary that separates the sideline benches and the middle field.

The situation escalated more when the said flames changed and somehow turned into a bird.

Our eyes felt uncomfortable while a sudden prickling feeling itched our skin. We felt the heat despite the glaring distance between our seats and the middle ground. However, the fire that seems to be an unstoppable force wasn't the thing that made us feel dread. It was the back of a boy not older than any of us, but could exclude an aura that could make anyone suffocate.

I was afraid but my eyes remained glued on that figure.

The way I can't remove my eyes even though my body tells me to run. He is dangerous yet his presence is something anyone can feel in awe of.

And then it happened a raging energy escaped sending the entire arena into a cold silence.

The flames burst even more until a mellow voice softly landed on our ears. We didn't hear whose voice was it but after hearing that the flames died down though the killing aura didn't completely disappear. It remained around us keeping a suffocating feeling.

We were amazed by the sudden turn of events until five students arrived and pointed their weapons at Apollo.

"When did they get there!"

I can't help but ask.

"After Apollo released that threatening energy those students rushed to aid their friend, they must have thought that our top ranker would hurt him"

My friend told me while there was a frown on his face.

I was worried that something disastrous might happen until a sudden light emerged from the back of those five. A golden light that suddenly splits into fifteen pieces until it shapes as a human.

"Those people are!"

The lower-class students arrived out of nowhere, they were fast and the fact that they too have weapons in their hands made the situation even more scary.

Seriously they won't hurt each other right?

I began to think while clenching the edge of my uniform.

...

"Him! I want him to fight me!"

One of the guest students from the Eastern Academy shouted while pointing at one of the least expected students to be chosen.

"Why is he choosing him!"

Johan Aaren said as he stood up from his seat.

"Aaren sit down"

Caesar commanded, however he also felt that their representative should be chosen among the students of the High class to ensure their continuous victory. Other students might be good but not as good as them.

"What are they thinking"

He couldn't help but say while urging Johan to sit down.

Back on the stage, the attention of many was focused on a certain boy's silhouette.

"Um.....me?"

He confusingly said while pointing at himself.

"Yes you, the guy with spiky hair and a sword, I want you to fight me"

Mckenzie looked confused for a moment since he initially came here to watch not to compete.

"Hell no"

Then he looked at Aaron signalling him to transport them back.

"Are you a coward that you backing out from a challenge"

The nameless student said trying to gain McKenzie's attention, however the latter only looked at him as if he saw a huge bug on the floor.

"Come on buddy give him what he wants so can finally shut up"

Niko suggested while giving a gleeful grin.

Apollo can't help but shake his head then he spoke.

"Go ahead deal with him"

Although he felt that everything that is going on is unnecessary, this might actually help his friend to improve his fighting style.

"Right since all of you are supportive maybe I should go then"

"Go go, Mckenzie!"

Blair cheered hearing such words an idea popped inside Mckenzie's head.

"Yeah what if"

He thought and for the second time the lower class students were delayed when their supposed champion suddenly made a demand.

"I'll fight you but I want it to be a dual match"

As soon as he said that all the lower-class students look at Blair.

"Wait don't tell me" he began to realize while his friend gave him his usual mischievous grin.

"That lunatic" he can only say as he walks towards the stage.

"This is ridiculous"

He immediately declared while glaring at Mckenzie.

"I was thinking we can practice the move we learn from the exams"

"Ah, you mean that? Yeah why not"

Then the two's attention went towards the one who made the challenge.

"I won't really mind a dual match since I was just about to suggest it as well"

Then a girl came from the sideline strangely they had a striking resemblance.

"Let me guess you two are twins"

McKenzie said while pulling out his sword.

"Yes we are how about you two"

"We aren't twins but we are as good as brothers"

"I see by the way my name is Yuta while this is my sister Megumi"

"My name is Mckenzie"

"Blair"

"And we are students from the Lower class"

The crowd felt a bit complex knowing that these students came from the lowest-ranking classroom, however, no one dared to actively oppose since Apollo didn't seem to hate the idea. None of them wanted to gain his ire. And so the voice of the vice headmaster echoes as he announces the start of the second match.

...

Right on the sideline was the line that separates the middle ground and the benches. There groups of students observed the situation while a powerful barrier protected them from any shockwave that the fight might cause.

"My lady, their top ranker is strangely too strong, which seems a bit absurd based on his age"

"I agree my lady, I believe something fishy is going on here"

Another student said while trying her best to lower down her voice.

"Could this academy doing something on their student? What do you think?"

"Francis, Christy I believe your words are a bit over the top"

"Claude, don't you feel suspicious that he is that strong?"

"Francis, not because someone is too strong and was able to overwhelm you means that person is doing some underhanded things. Some people are just inherently strong, and may I remind you that he is a Lionheart. Being one of the most powerful is already given"

"I don't think that is a good explanation, haven't you heard that the third child of the Lionheart family is weak and fragile!"

"And did you see anything that can be said fragile on him Francis? No right? Just why are you basing your facts on a mere rumour? You saw what he can do, that power he released was domineering he made your knees tremble"

"Shut up!"

"Please don't fight"

"Don't butt in Christy, this guy is just blinded since he is a fan of Artemis"

"At least I idolize someone who is decent unlike you!"

While the two boys argue the person they are trying to speak to remains silent, her blue eyes look intense as she looks at one person in the crowd.

"Apollo Lionheart"

She merely whispered while burying herself in her thoughts.

"Penelope"

Seeing her silence one of the guys who pointed a sword at Apollo spoke.

"What is it Coby?"

Unlike the first people who spoke to her this time she finally reacted.

"What do you think of him?"

"Lionheart?"

"Yes"

"He is dangerous a monster..." then her voice trail off as if something bothered her.

"And?"

"And might be able to help us"

She merely said while holding the emerald leaf pendant on her neck.

"If what you said is true then we better ask our professor"

He merely said without any hint of anger or annoyance. Unlike his classmate who hates Apollo for making them look weak he only focused on the task he was given. However it seems the rift between the students of Aster Academy and Eastern Academy was more than what he initially thought.

While this talk transpires the match between thelower-classclass students and Eastern students began.
