I created my own system

A smile playfully laid on Alicia's face making her classmates wonder what she was thinking.

"I wonder what club we should join in" she added though her expression soon made Apollo suspicious.

"What is she planning?" the boy thought so while moving a few inches away from her.

"Well it doesn't really matter since I don't have any intention of interacting with some students who will only judge you based on how useful you are"

"Oh come on you can't just label people like that Mckenzie" Braiden told him while giving him a pat on the back.

"I know we experience some terrible things but we should not forget the people who protected us, didn't they use to say, try to trust others" Alya said to her friend trying to clear up his emotionally unstable mind.

"We should still try to give ourselves a chance to have new friends"

"I have friends Alya and they are here surrounding me now, and you might forget that you are including on it"

Alya just chuckled at McKenzie's words while messing with her friend's hair.

Your journey continues with empire

"I don't really like to join those clubs, however, I am glad we trust Apollo's words on staying here. If we didn't, I think all of us would be in the same situation as those kids" Samael concluded while happily swinging his legs on the building's edge.

However, his happiness soon disappeared when he felt a presence behind his back.

"Oh no," he could only think as he felt a person's hand touched his back.

"Let's see if you can still be happy after this" it whispered though he knew who was it.

"Bye-bye!"

"Caspeerrrr!" Samael shouted his voice soon faded as he fell from the building.

"Cas that was dangerous!" Arabella can't help but say while she bent down to see if Samael was fine.

"If you are so worried about him why don't you follow him"

"What?" by then all she realized was that she too was pushed out of the building.

"Damn youuu!"

"Whoa I didn't know she could speak like that"

However, once he looked back all he could see were eyes preying on him.

"Oh no you don't" he immediately said before making an escape.

"Catch that traitor!" Blair playfully said though in the corner Apollo can be seen trying to hide.

"They won't really try to throw me off since none of them have the strength to do so" the young mage thought while trying to be invisible in the corner.

[If you are not worried then why are you hiding?]

"Shut up Jeremiah"

In life, there are things that won't really follow what you had planned. So although you want peace some of your friends would choose violence instead.

Then Apollo suddenly felt someone's hands on his collar and recklessly shove him out.

"Damn it" he could only think of as he forgets the only individual who can overpower him.

"Aliciaaaaaa!" he shouted while the noise of the other students swallowed his voice.

[She got you, Creator]

"Yeah"

As he fell he immediately changed his position to a much more favourable way for him, then he slowly released an ample amount of mana to slow down his fall. Small gusts of wind then rustle while grass sways a little due to Apollo's strong mana.

[You landed perfectly]

"Yeah"

However, Apollo's peace was short-lived because the seniors were able to recognize his hair and eye colour.

"Red orange...he must be Apollo!"

"Apollo join our club...."

"Excuse get out of my way!... Apollo!"

[Creator run!]

"Of course I would!"

And so the entire day was filled with hide and seek for the other students. While some have already arranged their club entry based on their status and connection.

An example of that is Prince Caesar and his entourage, they were welcomed by his older brother Prince Titus to his club, the Clover Club.

While the fierce and chaotic recruitment continued the professors of all classes, remained observing in case something were to happen.

"Adolfo! Your students are doing something dangerous!"

Exclaimed one of the professors who hurriedly dragged Adolfo to observe his students.

"Whoah, you are right!"

"See I told yo-...."

"It seems my students are already executing the techniques I taught them"

"The what?" he was flabbergasted as he said that, though Adolfo didn't mind his expression.

"I taught them how to safely land in case someone were to throw them off a cliff"

"Why would teach something like that!"

"For survival, you wouldn't know when someone will push you off the edge of a cliff"

"Whaaaat?...."

In that moment the professor felt like logic won't work on this man.

Right after such a treacherous day, many clubs were able to add enough people to their clubs. However, none of them were able to recruit any students from the lower class. They were just too slippery to be caught even for the seniors.

"Ah~...finally got some rest" Samael mumbled while letting his body touch the calming water inside the spring of the ruined temple.

"Hey let me in too" Arabella also went in and let her sore body heal.

"Seriously that was really unnecessary" Matilda groaned as she said those words.

"Really? But it was fun"

"No, it's not Casper" Mckenzie and Vesta said while giving him a stern glare.

"By the way where are Apollo and Alicia, I thought they would follow us here," Agnes asked while bringing some snacks with Niko.

"Oh, those two went with the other students of the Middle class, I think that girl named Lena will introduce her sister to our friend Apollo" Blair answered her.

"So does this mean it was her sister he was aiming for?" Keith realized while putting down the baskets of snacks with him.

"Really?" Casper jolted and immediately looked at Keith as if asking for him to continue.

"Just think carefully, there is no benefit of befriending Lena, she has no connection or any wealth, yet Apollo approaches her, a few days before the isolation ends"

"It's as if he timed it when the freshmen can finally interact with the senior students"

Alya told to herself though her friends were able to hear it as well.

"The senior students is what he was aiming for? Why?" Aaron asked a bit confused about what was happening.

"Why oh why indeed" Mckenzie made a dangerous smile as he spoke those words.

"I think our little friend will have a sweet reunion with his lovely siblings"

Matilda said while the expression bore a different meaning.

"We should wait for Apollo's signal before we move, we might spoil his hunt if we randomly interfere" Vesta suggested as she got out from the water.

"She is right let's just watch"

As the entire class formed a decision, their two most powerful guards were currently heading towards the Middle-class senior dormitory.

"I am so excited to introduce you to my sister, you know she told me to bring my friends to her once the isolation ends" Lena happily said while guiding a group of students with her.

"You strangely knew where to go Lena" Alicia noticed while observing the beautiful architecture of the dormitory.

"Oh, I've been here before when we visited my sister last year, when she was in third year" she answers while Apollo remains calm though his expression isn't good.

"Lena" he called as if something began to bother him.

"I think we need to hurry and go see your sister now" his voice became dreadful until he spoke again "I had this feeling that something bad will happen"

As he said those words Alicia suddenly ran inside the giant halls of the dormitory.

"That room is my sister's!" sensing her friends' urgent words Lena began to instruct them where her sister was despite them not needing it.

"Apollo you can sense it as well right?"

Alicia asked while her hand banged on the door directly sending it flying.

"Yes, I did sense it" Apollo answered as he rushed through the room's bathroom.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"I smell blood" he added before breaking the door.

And there in the bathtub is Lena's sister, her blood has dyed the water red and her wrist is cut open.

Alicia and Apollo hurriedly moved and tried to heal her as soon as they found her, however...

"Apollo, you can stop now" Alicia could only say as soon as she sensed the cold body of the lady.

"Apollo!" however despite her words Apollo's hand didn't stop and still tried to cast healing magic.

"Apollo it's too late she is gone"

"Wait there could still be a chance, all I need is a spark of life and she will be safe"

"Apollo..." Alicia tries to convince him but his eyes look different, as if he is seeing a memory from a distant past.

As soon as she realized that all she could do was sit beside him.

"Sister!" soon Lena and the other students from the Middle class arrive, and as soon as they arrive they witness a bloody scene and Apollo's desperate attempt to revive her.

"Apollo" Lena began to approach him and slowly her hand landed on his shoulders, as she did so her voice began to speak.

"Let her go now Apollo, my sister is truly gone"
