My Space-Time System

"They want so you could teach or coach them on some things." Luciano said.

"Oh." Seeing that it was something that he had already planned on doing, Blake continued to eat his steak.

"I was already planning on doing that." Blake muffled.

"Really?" Brian, Castiel, and Tessie were surprised by the reply, but what shocked everyone was Camilla's request.

"Can I join you guys?" Camilla asked.

"No." Both Blake and Luciano said almost immediately causing both of them to look at each other.

"Well, the training is designed to be a group type and with us being 5 it can't be possible." Blake explained.

[Only a retard would accept to training their competition.] The system sneered at Camilla's request.

'Maybe she takes me for one.' Blake said.

"According to Luciano's statement, he didn't sound like he was taking part in the training. So can I join?" Camilla said with a cute smile.

"This is a…" Blake was about to give one of the many reasons he had prepared, but Luciano interrupted him.

"I will be taking part in the training." Luciano said with a smile on his face.

"Oh. Then there is no problem at all." Camilla had a disappointed expression.

[Wow, her acting skills are pretty great.] The system was astonished by Camilla's ability to seamlessly move from a smile to a disappointed expression.

'Seems like I have been underestimating her.' Blake thought as he envisioned her as a snake.

…

"During your array mastery classes last semester, you have been thought how to inscribe arrays on objects and from your most recent class, it is clear you know how to draw arrays in thin air. So today we will be looking at 2 things." Professor Tacitus said in an expressionless tone.

"The first will be non-object arrays." As he spoke an array appeared right in front of him, producing flames.

"As the name implies, it doesn't need to be inscribed on an object to be used. Here is an example of what you could do with it."

With a wave of his hand, arrays appeared behind and at the sides of the fire, solidifying the air and forming a box with an opening.

"This furnace isn't as good as the ones found in a forge, but you all get the point." Tacitus dispelled the furnace.

'Non-object arrays are the things we have been practicing last semester, but the forge mastery variation.' Blake thought.

At his current level, learning and casting the arrays weren't difficult. The only problem was how many arrays could he get his hands on?

"The next thing we would be looking at for the rest of the semester is forging standard weapons." The students were confused but that was when professor Tacitus spoke.

"By standard weapon, I don't mean those pieces of thrash you guys had been making." Tacitus said without a care about their feelings.

"Have you all noticed that the weapons you all have made haven't gone past the normal grade? What you have been taught all these while was how to create a normal weapon.

Items above the basic grade, possess tens to thousands of arrays. If we go about inscribing it unto a weapon, not only will we run out of space, but the energy from the multitude of arrays will end up destroying the integrity of the sword" Professor Tacitus explained.

"That is why forge masters like me use a better method called Integration method…"

The integration method involved assimilating all the arrays required for the said weapon with a power source.

Power sources used for items had the function of recharging themselves by absorbing the energy in the surrounding.

So by integrating them with the power source, it regulated the energy to a level safe enough for the item's integrity.

'Interesting… That makes a lot of sense.' Blake was intrigued by the new discovery.

"Since we don't have much time left, we will leave the demonstration till the next class." Professor Tacitus was about to warp out of the class, but he remembered something

"If you have noticed, I did a lot more explanation than usual and that is all thanks to Professor Mack Hoffenheim who requested a favor from me." With that said he warped out of the class.

'That explains why he was less grumpy today and for a moment I thought he had changed.' Blake shook his head.

'Can you tell me anything about the integration method?' Blake asked the system.

The system upgrade at the research facility granted the system a lot of knowledge, but it had classified most of them to be currently inaccessible to Blake.

Not only because it would affect his growth, but because knowing them would automatically put his life in danger.

[I don't have much to tell you till you are taught, but it is nice to know that the integration method was created by the dwarves. A very good example of a product of this method is the research facilities core.] The system's words shocked Blake.

'So you are saying it is possible for me to create an artificial intelligence?' Blake asked.

[With a sprinkle of knowledge, resources and something's consciousness you will be able to make one.] The system replied.

"You say what now?" Blake was stunned.

[You heard me right.] The system said.

"Hey, so when are we meeting up for the training?" Luciano and the group approached him.

"Right now." Blake had thoughts of taking the group to the concealed space, but he changed his mind and to them to one of the many empty practice rooms.

"Since we will be partaking in mostly team exercises this semester, I thought it would be nice for us to train as a team." Blake said to the team. "The team training aims at improving both our individual skills and team coordination."

"What if we don't end up in the same team?" Brian asked.

"First, no knowledge is a waste. Second, I highly doubt that the strength of a team lies in their bond and since the school is aware of that they wouldn't pair students anyhow and expect good results." Blake explained.
