I created my own system

Up above the sky, a lone figure can be seen glowing as the sun touches it. The clouds were also moving slowly as if patiently waiting for something.

At the same time, sixteen children smiled happily as they saw how the light disappeared slowly revealing the work Apollo created.

"What's going on here kids!"

"Is everyone okay!"

"Are we being attacked!"

While the students were ecstatic about the situation the professors weren't, they had their weapons raised while their mana and ki were up to attack.

"Calm down it's just Apollo doing some modification at this ship" Professor Adolfo calmly said to his colleagues.

"Apollo is doing what?"

"Just watch"

The light moves and the ship's new form can finally be seen.

"Is this allowed?" professor Gelda asked seeing the newly formed ship.

"I don't really know" Professor Alejo said finally putting down his sword.

The wooden framework of the ship was replaced by a body crafted from a lightweight, yet durable metal alloy, designed to minimize weight while maintaining structural integrity. The hull is streamlined and aerodynamically shaped, resembling the sleek lines of a modern racing yacht but adapted for the skies. Apollo got the idea when he saw a blueprint of a racing yacht so he adapted it.

As for the previous torn sails, they are now made from a special fabric that is both lightweight and resilient, able to catch even the slightest breeze or wind currents high in the atmosphere. The sails are expansive, stretching out to capture as much wind as possible. These are built so that in case the ship's engine breaks the wind can still be used for flying.

However, it is not the only thing that is keeping the ship elevated. Aside from the two circular engines that are attached at the sides, there are also small side thrusters found at the front and back, adding a more fluid movement for the ship. Lastly, a propeller is attached at the very end of the ship adding a boost for its speed.

This combination of advanced materials and traditional seafaring design elements gives the ship both grace and functionality as it sails through the sky.

Though it was indeed beautiful the crew inside panicked when they realized the navigation system had changed.

"Captain!"

"It's okay lads it's just a few added buttons no need to be alarmed"

"What's this? JET BOOSTER?"

"It's probably best not to touch big and shiny red buttons mate"

While the entire crew is having their discussion Apollo suddenly appears surprising everyone.

"Young Lionheart what brought you here?" the captain asked finding his appearance too sudden.

"It's because I caused a commotion captain" the boy just said hinting at the changes that happened on the ship.

"Ah, was this your work?"

The boy just nodded confirming the captain's words.

"If you would allow it I would like to teach you and the crew about the few modifications I added"

"A few hahaha"

The old sailor said while looking at the unfamiliar place he was in, finding it too foreign to him despite years of flying this ship.

"Alright brave one show me what you did"

He just said letting the lad enter the control room.

"Can we also enter?" behind Apollo was the entire lower class in the company of their subject professors.

"Hello sirs" they greeted making all the crew members smile.

So while everyone became engrossed with the new functions of the ship the crew at the kitchen remained dumbfounded as they saw the newly made kitchen.

"Um...did we end up teleportating somewhere?"

"I don't really know"

.

.

With the completely new style of engine, the crew and the class didn't notice how fast they were travelling. Soon enough they caught a glimpse of a group of ships being surrounded.

"Wait are those pirates?" Vesta exclaimed as she noticed their flag.

"Those are the Barbaros young lady, they are not just a group of pirates they are also hired, killers"

The aged captain said steering the ship's wheel away from the scene.

"Wait captain look at their target's flag!"

Professor Timothy said before the captain could even move the wheel.

"Wait you are right!" Mckenzie also noticed as he used binoculars to see.

"Can you give me a clear image of what's going on there?" Apollo commanded prompting the crew to use the ship's newly added radar.

"The professor is right Lionheart it is indeed the academy's ship"

"How many are being surrounded?"

Adolfo asked while his blade was already out.

"Ten while the Barbaros have thirty ships"

"That's one-sided" Niko commented.

"Do you know how many people are inside the enemy ships?" Apollo asked again making the crew member shake his head.

"It's too far for the radar to scan"

"Jeremiah how about you"

[Scanning...

Scan complete!

There are a total of 3,000 people from the Barbaros pirates, tallying 100 people from each ship]

"Okay I got it"

"Alfo we have 100 enemies from each ship since there are thirty of them, 3000 in total,"

Their professor in Magic and Crestion 1, Miss Agatha said.

"Wait did she just call Professor Adolfo, Alfo?"

"They are calling nicknames now!"

"They can hear you Mckenzie, Casper"

Arabella said while glaring at the two boys.

"So what should we do?" Braiden asked while snatching the binoculars from McKenzie, making his friend look at him nastily.

"You all will stay here but Apollo will come with me"

Adolfo said earning quite a look from the crew members.

"Sir isn't that dangerous? There are three thousand enemies out there and you are only two"

"The academy has 300 individuals who can fight among those ships, it's not even including the professor who all came along. Then we also have the people from the Eastern Academy"

While he speaks a huge explosion happens causing the wind to blow wildly.

"Hold on tight!"

"Is everyone alright?"

The impact was strong, despite their distance proving the battle is going intense.

"Are we going to attack as well?" Samael wanted to know since he was already prepared to test the toys he received from the tower mages"

"We won't for now, we stay hidden but prepared to attack if needed" Professor Gelda stated as she went to the defence control panel of the ship.

"Obey her students, Apollo come with me"

The room went silent with his command though the student whom he ordered was willing to abide by his wishes.

"What's the plan prof" the boy just said but his teacher just smirks.

"Just do what you do best" he quoted as if hinting something.

"Alright"

The boy just said while his body suddenly pulsates with electricity.

"Will everything be fine?" Alya asked feeling worried.

"It should be fine since we know how strong Apollo is" Alicia spoke reassuring her friend.

.

.

Back at the two who currently went to the deck for a better view of the scene.

"They are already attacking"

"They should be able to hold off since the academy's ships are made with dozens of defence systems. You should know that since you literally recreated this"

"Yeah I know, that's why I can tell that these people are prepared, they basically knew where to strike to weaken the barrier"

"Does that mean we have a mole?"

"Nope probably the ones from the East ratted it out"

As they spoke their bodies began to be engulfed with energy that made the people of the enemy ship react.

"What is that power?"

"Can you see it?"

"No, it's too far to get a view"

"Get me my scope I need to see who these people are!"

However, before he could even get his spyglass a powerful wind struck them. It was so strong it shook all the twenty pirate ships that surrounded the academy ships. This causes them to be even more alert, halting their advance towards the school vessel.

"What the hell was that!" someone exclaimed panicking since he could feel a thick amount of bloodlust.

The atmosphere is tense because a sudden silence envelops them.

"Thunder Aura..."

An icy cold voice began to chant as the clouds turned dark and the temperatures rose.

"Negative lightning"

Thunder roared while multiple strokes of lightning struck and hit ten pirate ships.

"Raise the barrier!"

"It's already on!"

"Then why the hell did he end up here!"

"We don't know"

Jeremiah disrupted the enemy's defensive system thus Apollo and Adolfo were able to enter their vessel.

"Let's dance fellas" said a person whose appearance is covered with black.

"Attack him!" someone ordered and fifty or so men came forward brandishing their weapons.

"Death man's call" he said as if chanting a spell.

"Dance of the Grim Reaper"

Black slashes painted the aerial vessel while bodies began to fly across the air. It was an invisible strike that left his enemy guessing how they got hit.

Their bodies hit the deck while blood starts springing from their bodies. Though their comrades died none of the pirates looked scared, instead they bore caution towards their opponent.

They slowly approached him some began circling until they felt something weird.

Adolfo's sword art was capable of sapping any opponent's strength making their attacks weakened.

"Why do I feel heavy!"

"Because you are"

He then raises his blade and it sparks with a black vibrating energy.
