Septem - Chapter 42 Neptune Star
I woke up after I feel a little bit shaking from Eve. It seems she was trying to woke me up for a while. It seems she getting impatient since she can’t go back on her own and need to go to her facility now. Fortunately, there are already bathroom area to wash and change clothes. So, she can take a bath and prepare. This also not the first time situation.
There was time when I too exhausted from my research and almost sleep until mid-day in my time dimension. At that time, Eve try to wake me countless time but I still fell sleep like a log. She was forced to skip her class in her facilities that day and grumble almost a week because of that event.
Not want to repeat the same situation, I woke up and open the time dimension. As soon as it was open, Eve give me peck and run out to her facility while give me warning to take rest and not pushing myself.
After that, I take a bath, rest for a while and doing some routine training before going back to my time dimension. Yesterday I didn’t have time to check about the result of my fusion mana stone since I barely can stay awake. I took out the small crystal with dark blue color and red spot in the middle. Then, I begin to analyze the crystal. I named the crystal as Neptune star stone since it was blue light planet Neptune and has red spot like core of star.
It took me a while of research, until I conclude that it was actually only has quality like lesser mana stone. For my enhanced brain spell I need at least 10 grand mana stone with the element of time, water, and fire. Fortunately, using some master alchemy technique that I know I can synthesize many lesser mana stone to become medium grade until grand mana stone.
It just need more time to do all this process. After that, I immediately review my rune production to create Neptune star stone. I realize that the balance spell is very useful. Even though the main purpose is to make all the elemental balance however the core of the spell itself can be modified to create different spell. When I research further, I can combine this core spell into all my spell and make them more stable.
The core spell is very complicated and feel so ancient. I doubt that this is creation of mankind since I found it was very mysterious with a trace a little bit of nature. From my past experience, all things that have feeling of nature cannot be a creation of mankind. Although they still can copy and reproduce them.
The reason I know this because, I have the portion power of princess of light which very sensitive to the nature energy and stuff. This power is very useful in some occasion and explain things that looks extraordinary. However, I can only use a portion of it since I was given this power and not born with it. Unlike Eve who will use this power 100% if she successfully awakens it.
After few hours I finally created production rune to make the Neptune star stone. I manage to create it faster with the help of balance spell core. Moreover, the probability of succeed is quite high around 50% and it will increase after few more adjustment later. I leave the rune to work by itself.
Then, I go out my time dimension. I open another dimension with purple color, a space based element dimension. After casting various of protection spell to myself, I enter dimension which very empty and void. The space dimension is same like other dimension contain only space element. Because of this the space itself is very solid and almost impenetrable. However, It also produce gravity more.
The gravity here is 200 times more than the normal world. If not because I modified the dimension and limit the space element in there, it will be higher than 200 times or more. Although, this dimension good for training my body however right now it will only do more harm than good. It will rupture my inside and leave permanent damage if I enter this dimension without my protective spell.
The protective spell that I cast upon myself also at least seven-star level with greater effect after various modification. The reason I enter this dimension is to assemble my tools that will help me cast my enhanced brain spell. I choose this dimension since it is the strongest dimension and stable among the others.
Sometime ago I also make it as testing ground for my large scale and destructive spell. I found that the other dimension start having a crack after I cast seven-star spell in it. There is also many turbulence of the element inside the dimensions as the after effect. So, it will be a perfect place to create a tools for casting this extraordinary spell.
I apply a rune on the certain area to lessen the space element in that area. This will make the gravity on it become normal and the surrounding area become sort of barrier to contain all the mishaps or after effect of the spell. After that, I took the component part and assemble it while apply some enchantment in various of part.
The tool looks like a hand with all the finger part point the middle palm which is the platform. All the fingers part is looked like a huge pointed tentacle with hole all over its body. The hole has total of ten for the grand Neptune star stones.
The moment I finish assembling and got out from the space dimension it is already dinner time. After having another dinner date with Eve and teasing her, I go into my time dimension together with her and create the production rune to synthetized Lesser Neptune star stones until it become Grand quality stone. Even with production rune, the process still takes times. According my calculation, it will take about a week or less to produce 10 grand Neptune stone.
After checking everything is fine, I took Eve out the time dimension and sleep with her immediately since I was so tired after all the work. Eve who notice my tiredness caress my head and hug me to comfort me.
The next morning, I woke up late and Eve already go to her facility. Since now all I need to do is waiting for my grand Neptune star stones, I will try to check the progress of Hilbert training. At first I don’t care about the competition, however yesterday during my date dinner with Eve, she told me that the prize is an artifact with super rare grade for the duel competition.
The reason they change the prize is because they want to lure out all the spies and faction in the academy. During this two months, many spies is being routed or forced out by the guardian member without batting an eye. They even drove away some prince or aristocrat bodyguard from other kingdoms with force.
Although, the artifact itself quite useless for me but the enchantment that embedded on it may prove another treasure like I found with the bracelet. That’s why it entices me to obtain it although I can go into the competition since I need to keep low profile but I can make Hilbert go. Since he also one of the candidate in the top ranking, no one will doubt him if he wins the competition.
I go to dorm yard which Hilbert being ‘trained’ or more likely beaten up by William. William will only stop after Hilbert lose consciousness but not stopping even he seriously wounded. Fortunately, I give William plenty of healing potion before I asked him training Hilbert.
As soon as I arrive, William who is waiting Hilbert to wake up notice me. “Ahh.. Yosep, that’s rare for you to come out already from your hole.” He greets me while tease me a little. After comprehend the aura, he become mature faster and loss his spoiling nature.
“Well, I just have free time and want to check Hilbert progress. So, how is he?” I ask him seriously.
“He already become survivor and just where did you find him? Although, his learning speed is average but his comprehension about water element and his body strength growth is extraordinary.” William explain more about Hilbert condition.
“Really? Just I thought he has special constitution. So, how is the chance of him winning the battle competition?” I asked Will for his opinion since he know more about the prowess of others student.
“Well, I predict it accurately but maybe around 70-80% if no accident happens and I don’t join the competition.” As William smile and flaunt his strength
“Oh really? 70-80%? That’s good already. Hmmm Will I thought you want a unique equipment or weapon that I made. But since you want the prize of the competition, I guess I will only give it to brother Fernan.” I smile with back at him
“Wh.. What.. are you talking about Yosep? Am I not your best brother? It’s just a joke. So, please don’t be mad about it.” He getting more panic and frantically apologize to me.
“Hahaha Don’t worry about it brother. It also a joke as long as you still joking around” I leave William who is getting more cold sweat and approach Hilbert who is still lying unconscious.
The moment I arrive beside him, I punch him into his stomach with fast speed. But, before my punch connect, he wakes up and rolled to the side. He also getting ready to fight back. Meanwhile, my punch goes into the ground and make a hole on it.
After confirm that it was me that attack him, “Aahh.. mas.. Yosep. I apologize that I can’t properly greet you.” As he bows to me.
