Chapter 50 - The Master Of All Four Subjects.

"Dimensional travel is getting harder because someone keeps trying to break inside my pocket dimension every time." They all just look at me somewhat concerned.

"Meaning I'm going to stay there until something major happens. I trust you can keep all the major projects I'm leaving behind functional. I'll probably only head back once a week for around an hour or so." Everyone silent for a few seconds before Justin speaks up.

"Dude, the last time we had a touching goodbye you were gone for like two days."

"I'm a lucky bastard." I mimic Justin and everyone doesn't understand before Steve sends them a video of our fight.

"Fair enough, so were holding down the fort?"

"Yeah, though in another month we have a world we all need to visit. So don't slack on training because I'm sure Steve can find a way to motivate you guys." I catch the most annoying ringtone ever going off in my room and everyone shudders.

"So it's just going to be you and Angelica?"

"Yep, that's the plan. I'm going to also take anything useful from that place as well. Please have your weapons of choice ready by the next visit." I then stand up and draw my sword before I cut a hole inside the space while quickly cutting another and exiting before I collapse on my bed.

I look over my body to find that this time they were only small dents, though this time it was two instead of one. I accidentally groan and Angelica rushes over.

"Are you okay?"

"Physically I could be a lot worse, as for the traveling problem? It's gotten worse, now we have two gods after my ass."

"Any guesses who was backing the cultists?"

"No idea, there is a lot of love/lust gods."

"That's not an element?"

"I don't make the rules, though I'm assuming it's a mixture of D-E-M and combination of all the elements. It's honestly a nightmare to try and figure out how we got temporal gods."

"What is D-E-M? You never told me."

"The thing keeping the gods in check and running the multiverse, though I don't know much more than that." I then stand up changing my clothes while also putting my sword away.

We start walking and we head to our respective classes and when I open the door everyone looks at me funny, I'm wondering what happened they all look more afraid than usual.

"What?" They all shift in their seats before a guy speaks up.

"Exams were yesterday."

"So? Just give me harder ones or something, it's not that big of deal." The door is then busted open and someone carrying a lot of papers then lays them on the podium before changing it into a desk. They then all look at me and I look back at them.

"What?"

"You have to do your exam there." I just shadow step over before taking a scroll and I go on autopilot while making sure to do this as fast as possible. After around half an hour or so I finish and they all look at me before a professor speaks up.

"Are you ce-"

"Yes." They then look over all my stuff while I close my eyes and sit down.

"Perfect score, you even fixed an incorrect question." They all looked at me shocked and I just shrug.

[Quest Completed]

Everyone stands up and I shadow step inside the training room to find no one inside aside from Angelica who was swinging a shadow blade around in her hands, though she was frowning while doing so.

I walk over and she keeps swinging and I start analyzing her tendencies to find that she would be better dual wielding. After awhile she had made herself a massive six foot broadsword and she starts swinging it around.

While she was doing great I still believed that dual wielding would be better for her and she had lost a lot of the fluidity that she had before. I then see her make some nunchucks and she starts swinging them around like a master.

After a few minutes I had come up with what I believed would be the best for her. I make two single edged blades while attaching a chain between them and after swinging her sword for a few minutes more Angelica turns around.

She looks at my weapon for a moment before making one herself and she starts swinging them around like she's used them for years. I'm honestly surprised considering these were more of a monstrosity then a weapon.

After swinging them around for awhile she then turns around to me and I step inside the ring. She gets in a stance while I make a shadow katana and I rush towards her.

She blocks the hit with a sword while using the other to go for my head and I duck down while she then turns the horizontal slash to a vertical one and I block while pushing her blade away and I flip backwards over a kick.

I land and I make myself a shadow dagger while putting the shadow katana in my right hand. When she rushes towards me and I throw the shadow dagger to have her put a finger in the chain and spin the blades to deflect while I rush up.

I dash forwards and swing horizontally forcing her to block with both her blades while I use my hand to grab one of her wrists and I pull downwards giving me the angle I need to put my blade right next to her neck.

We both stand their for a few seconds before Angelica dissolves her shadow blades and I do the same and we start walking back to our dorm.

"How did you even think of that weapon?"

"Looked at what you used best and fused them all. It honestly worked better than it should, your quite the genius." We then walk back to the dorm in relative silence, though Angelica had a spring in her step.

As we lie down I look over my status and I realize I have 900 SS again.
