I woke up after I felt a little bit shaking from Eve. It seems she was trying to wake me up for a while. It seems she is getting impatient since she can't go back on her own and needs to go to her facility now.
Fortunately, there are already bathroom areas to wash and change clothes. So, she can take a bath and prepare. This is also not the first time a situation like this has happened.
There was a time when I was too exhausted from my research and almost slept until mid-day in my time dimension.
At that time, Eve tried to wake me countless times but I still fell asleep 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 wanting to repeat the same situation, I woke up immediately and opened the portal dimension. As soon as it was open, Eve gave me a peck of kiss and ran out to her facility while giving me warning to take rest.
After that, I take a bath, rest for a while and do some routine training. Yesterday I didn't have time to check about the result of my fusion mana stone since I could barely stay awake.
I took out the small crystal with dark blue color and a red spot in the middle. Then, I begin to analyze the crystal. I named the crystal as Neptune star since it is similar to the blue light planet Neptune and has a red spot like the core of the star.
It took me a while of research, until I concluded that it actually only has quality like lesser mana stone. After calculating a little bit, I need at least 10 grand mana stones with the element of time, water, and fire.
Fortunately, using some master alchemy technique that I know I can synthesize many lesser mana stones to become medium grade then continue until they become grand mana stones.
It just needs more time to do all this process. After that, I immediately reviewed my rune production to create Neptune star stone.
I realize that the balance diagram is very useful. Even though the main purpose is to make all the elemental balance however the core of the diagram itself can be modified to create different spells.
When I research further, I can combine this core diagram into all my spells and make them more stable.
The core diagram is very complicated and feels so ancient. I doubt that this is creation of mankind since I found it was very mysterious with a trace of a little bit of nature.
From my past experience, all things that have feelings of nature cannot be a creation of mankind. Although they still could be copied and being remade.
The reason I know this is because I have the portion power of a princess of light which is very sensitive to nature energy and stuff.
This power is very useful on some occasions and explains things. However, I can only use a portion of it since I was given this power and not born with it. Unlike Eve who could use this power 100% if she successfully awakens it.
After a few hours of another research I finally created a production rune to make the Neptune star stone. I manage to create it faster with the help of a balance diagram.
Moreover, the probability of success is quite high around 50% and it will increase after a few more adjustments later. I leave the rune to work by itself.
Then, I go out in my time dimension. I open another dimension with purple color, a space based element dimension.
After casting various protection spells to myself, I enter a dimension which is very empty and void. The space dimension is the same as other dimensions containing only one specific element, in this case it is a space element.
Because of this, the space itself is very solid and almost impenetrable. However, It also has more gravity compared to others.
The gravity here is 200 times more than the normal world. If not because I modified the dimension and limited the space element in there, it will be higher than 200 times or more.
Although, this dimension is 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 is also at least at six-star level with greater effect after various modifications.
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 and stable among the others.
Sometime ago I also made it as a testing ground for my large scale and destructive spell. I found that the other dimension didn't even have a crack after I cast a seven-star spell in it.
There is also no turbulence element inside the dimensions as the after effect. So, it will be a perfect place 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 a sort of barrier to contain all the mishaps or after effects of the spell.
After that, I took the component part and assembled it while applying some enchantment in various parts.
The tool looks like a gigantic iron spike that points to the middle which is the platform. The spike part looks like a huge pointed tentacle with hole on its body. The hole has a total of ten for the grand Neptune star stones.
The moment I finish assembling and get 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.
I create a production rune to synthesize Lesser Neptune star stones until they become Grand quality stone. Even with production rune, the process still takes time. According to my calculation, it will take about a week or less to produce 10 grand Neptune stones.
After checking everything is fine, I took Eve out the time dimension and slept with her immediately since I was so tired after all the work. Eve who notices my tiredness caresses my head and hugs me to comfort me.
The next morning, I woke up late and Eve already went to her facility. Since now all I need to do is wait for my grand Neptune star stones, I will try to check the progress of Hilbert training.
At first I didn't care about the competition, however yesterday during my date dinner with Eve, she told me that the prize is an artifact with grade 3 for the duel competition.
The reason they change the prize is because they want to lure out all the spies and factions in the academy.
During these past months, many spies are 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 is quite useless for me but the enchantment that is embedded on it may prove another treasure like I found in the bracelet.
That's why it entices me to obtain it although I can't go into the competition since I need to keep a low profile but I can make Hilbert go. Since he is also one of the candidates in the top ranking, no one will doubt him if he wins the competition.
'Guess I'm getting influenced by Greed to want all the precious items' I thought inwardly.
I go to the dorm yard where Hilbert is being 'trained' or more likely beaten up by William. William will only stop after Hilbert loses consciousness but not stopping even if he is seriously wounded.
Fortunately, I gave William plenty of healing potion before I asked him to train Hilbert. Of course my healing potion is more effective than ordinary one with immediate effect.
As soon as I arrive, William, who is waiting for Hilbert to wake up, notices me. "Ahh.. Josep, that's rare for you to come out from your hole." He greets me while teasing me a little.
After comprehending the aura, he becomes mature faster and loses his spoiled nature.
"Well, I just have free time and want to check Hilbert progress. So, how is he?" I ask him seriously.
"He already became a survivor and just where did you find him? Although, his learning speed is average but his comprehension about water elements and his body strength growth is extraordinary." William explains more about Hilbert condition.
"Really? Just I thought he had a special constitution. So, how is the chance of him winning the battle competition?" I asked Will for his opinion since he knows more about the prowess of other students inside the academy.
"Well, I can't predict it accurately but maybe around 70-80% chance of winning if no accident happens and I don't join the competition." As William smiles and flaunts his strength.
"Oh really? 70-80%? That's good already. Hmmm… I thought you wanted 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 Josep? Am I not your best brother? It's just a joke. So, please don't be mad about it." as William tries frantically to apologize to me.
"Hahaha… Don't worry about it brother. It is also a joke as long as you still joke 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. But, before my punch connected, he woke up and rolled to the side. He is also getting ready to fight back. Meanwhile, my punch goes into the ground and makes a hole on it.
After confirming that it was me that attacked him, "Aahh.. mas.. Josep. I apologize that I can't properly greet you." As he bows to me.
