I created my own system

Chapter 18: Chapter 18: One week



"I still need to wait 8 hours to get out of this room"

"Then I need to wait for an entire week to be able to enter the lab" he continues to sulk as he rolls across his bed.

"What should I do for one week?"

[Study?]

"Maybe however maybe I should also train"

[Train?]

"Mana is the cultivation of the mind while ki is the cultivation of the body. The more someone trains his mind the more mana it can sustain on the other hand Ki can be achieved by rigorous training of the body"

[So you are thinking of training your body?]

"Yes if I can achieve a breakthrough maybe I can chip away some percentage on the stability of the spell"

So without further ado, Apollo ordered Jeremiah to look for any basic training manuals for him.

"I should train a bit before awakening my constitution that way my body won\'t receive a shock similar to what I experience with my bloodline awakening"

[If that\'s what you wish then I suppose I can only help]

Apollo first did a warm-up then after a brief cool down he looked at the basic training manual and tried doing what it said.

[Error has been made by the Creator, I suggest raising your arms a bit]

Soon enough Jeremiah began correcting the mistakes Apollo made from his stance to the force of his punch.

[Try again, put more strength!]

Apollo controls his breathing before releasing another punch.

"Haaa!"

[Your arms are leaning towards the wrong side move them to this place]

He shouted before pulling another punch.

"Haa!... I am tired!"

The boy could no longer handle the tiredness and could only sit on the floor.

{1:20:35}

"Just one more hour and I am good to go"

[Creator you should rest and take some food you have consumed too much energy]

"Did I?... I"

Slowly Apollo\'s vision began to blur "Oh I am indeed tired" He realized.

Deep within his mind, a sigh could be heard from Jeremiah.

Apollo then eats the rest of the food in the basket Nickolas brought.

"Now for the important part"

From his storage ring, a small bottle came out. This bottle contains a light greenish liquid with a slight yellow colour.

Apollo gulps it down without hesitation.

"Hoo..now that felt good"

What Apollo drank was a special tonic he and the Ocean Tower mages made for the soldiers of the subjugation army. The tonic can nourish the body and improve the circulation of ki, It also helps to absorb all the food taken. This tonic as well were distributed during the breakout thus it was widely known to the soldiers how effective the tonic was.

The tonic made by Apollo was especially for swordsmen and people who focused on improving their ki. So for now Apollo will try to train his body to reproduce his ki.

As he analyzes the seal he finds out that he could take advantage of its unstable state to train his ki. Reproducing ki and mana should come naturally however the seal not only made Apollo unable to wield ki but also to also reproduce it.

Moving on the boy began to do what the manual said to train as rigorously as possible.

The current remaining time is {00:00:10}

"Now everything seems good"

Ten seconds before the magic Nickolas put on the door disappears, Apollo walks towards the door his clothes and stature are better than before.

"The tonic helps me feel full of energy"

This was the first time Apollo tried the tonic and never anticipated the effects would be this good now he understood why it was still in demand despite the breakout ending.

Jeremiah continues to count as if waiting for the time to leave the room as well.

{00:00:00}

As the timer struck zero an invisible energy started to wear off the magic circle embedded in the door frame dissipated leaving the door free for Apollo to pass through.

"Finally!" He smirked finally leaving the room so he could finally start what he wanted to do.

When Apollo left the Ocean Tower he noticed the sun already high up in the sky.

"Is it close to lunch already?"

He thought then he switched his gaze to the giant stone clocktower.

"8:15 am It\'s still early I supposed I should continue my training"

He then went straight to his room to his surprise outside his room were gifts from other mages who found out about Apollo collapsing.

"This seriously" he felt touch as he brought the towering gifts inside his room

For an entire week, Apollo would train inside his room early in the morning while at noon he would pass by the magic examination and testing area so that he could grab some points to increase his stats. Without him knowing the week is over, he is allowed to go back to the lab.

"Yes, I am back!"

He shouted as he arrived at the spacious room full of equipment. The scent of wood and herbs welcomed Apollo while the shelves on the side were adorned with big notebooks and files. In the middle of the lab were an assorted kind of alchemical tools, such as burners and filters, which were meticulously arranged on sturdy wooden tables.

It was only a week however it was enough to make him miss the place.

"Now then I should move forward to my next plan"

As he went towards his table a folder was there resting as if it was waiting for him.

"What\'s this?"

He picks it up and sees a list of people with addresses and their current movements. Reading the contents of the folder Apollo figured out that Alger was the one who gave it to him.

"Thank you, Grandpa" his voice softened as he said his name.

"Only three names" As he studied the list he finalised three names that could be the ones who put the seal on him.

"I will be meeting them soon once the banquet begins" A smirk emerges on his face as he thinks of the spell he had come up with.

"Let\'s forget about them ....for now I should focus on the tonic I need for my training" A mischievous glee can be seen on Apollo for a moment Ifrit who was watching him gets scared.

For the rest of the month the boy with a sun set hair created a tonic that increases a person\'s ki and mana however the other stuff he did is for his enemy to find out.

"It looks good, I think it looks decent"

[Creator why haven\'t you added up your current stat point?]

"I am thinking of saving them up "

[For what?]

"For a surprise"

He said as he prepared himself for the banquet, he first wore a white plain shirt then a white vest. From that, he wore his knee-length white robe which had a light blue lining at the hems. At the left chest area of the robe, the insignia of the wizard tower was attached, it was a single tower standing with a vermilion bird coiling around it.

Apollo\'s pants and shoes were all white after all it was one of the tower\'s ceremonial robes, an all-white outfit.

"Now for the final piece" From his cabinet, he took out a wooden box littered with a beautiful inscription. With a grin, he opened it and a beautiful sapphire brooch was quietly resting inside. Carefully he took it out of the box and happily pins it on the lapel of his robe.

"I guess I am all set" he smiles seeing his reflection however the mirror he uses strangely blurry his face but the boy didn\'t mind it at all.

Feeling confident he finally heads down to join the rest of the tower\'s representatives.

"Sir Gavin!" He waves seeing the senior mages of the Blue Moon tower.

"Hey, little sun are you ready?"

"Of course sir"

"Be sure to execute the proper greeting and only speak when questioned"

"Yes I will sir Gavin"

"Good! Now we should join the others" he urged taking the young boy\'s hand towards the group of people.

Apollo stood in line like the others in front of them were the three tower masters and Alger the head of the wizard tower, beside these four individuals was Nickolas who calmly waved at Apollo as soon as he saw him.

"Alright everyone I only have a couple of words to say. If the emperor doesn\'t say anything then don\'t speak if you think the conversation isn\'t for you leave, or if someone forces any of you to do something ignore it they are not worth our time. If the person speaking to you is not someone you want to associate with then don\'t speak to them we value our mental health more than anyone else.

We already have dozens of problems here we don\'t want them to add more of it"

"Now are we clear about what I said?"

Like a choir, all of them simultaneously said "Yes Head!"
