I created my own system

A few days upon their arrival inside the tower Apollo decided to give them some training. Since he could see their stats he knows which areas they should focus on and which should not.

"You are doing many unnecessary moves Niko"

Apollo said as he raised his wooden sword to counter Niko. By now he had seen his techniques countless times and he had memorized them.

However, for some reason, a thought flashes in his mind while he performs his counter technique, and then he swiftly changes the direction of his wooden sword and mimics a specific stance from Niko's technique.

This sudden action took Niko by surprise making Apollo's strike successful.

"Ugh!"

With his sword flying away and being knocked to the ground, he couldn't help but look at his opponent who unexpectedly copied his technique.

"That was good Apollo"

However, the person he was talking to had his eyes on a certain floating screen in front of him.

[Notification Alert!

Congratulations!

Due to the potential the Creator exhibits you have gained a skill called Copy&Paste]

"A skill?...show me the contents of it"

[Affirmative

Copy&Paste

- enables the Creator to copy any skill or technique once fully scanned or analyze

Flaw: Any skill or technique has to be scanned or analyzed first before being copied]

"Interesting"

"Apollo?"

Seeing Apollo just standing where he was Niko decided to approach him.

"What's wrong buddy?" he asked again.

"Nothing something just came to my mind when I tried copying your moves"

"You surprised me there Apollo I never knew you could pull that off"

"It's because I have memorized your technique from seeing it hundreds of times"

"Still I am amazed, I have never seen anyone execute that sword technique other than a paladin"

"Hmmm..."

Suddenly Apollo thought of something, if he could use this skill well then their problem may be solved without endangering his friends.

"Niko"

"Yes?"

"Call everyone here let's all train together"

Apollo smiled as he took one step closer towards his bold plan.

Back at the present time, Apollo continues to look at his enemy, his cold stare devoid of any emotion creates an image of a merciless killer, making his enemy tremble.

"Hmmm...let's see when did I have this skill.."

He suddenly began to think then he spoke finally remembering "Right it was when we were at the tower, a month before the start of the class"

Then his eyes shifted towards the ground.

"Jeremiah"

[Yes?]

"Break the anti-magic circle"

[Affirmative]

Fine cracks began to spread across the five colored magic circles making its effects dim.

"What's going on!?"

A wave of disbelief washes over them as they witness a spell that can hinder magic turn into fragile shards of glass.

"Damn it!"

Desperation took over and even with the constant pressure brought by Apollo's previous attack they still dashed to attack.

"It's no use"

He could read their every move so no matter how fast they tried to hide themselves he could still follow them.

"Darkness element, black magic"

With the anti-magic gone, he could finally cast a spell.

Dark clusters of clouds gathered while the ground began to be swallowed by an ominous spell.

"Manus maledicta"

Burn charcoal hands suddenly spawn on the tainted ground, grabbing the bodies of the five scouters.

"Argh!"

"Let go!"

They tried to cast a spell however the hand that caught them would absorb the mana inside their body, rendering them useless.

"Nooo!....please!...I can't die here!"

"I have a family young one I am begging you!'

"Young lad the emperor is lying to you! You must listen!"

All sorts of words were thrown however Apollo had one objective.

Dark smoke began to rise up from the ground and slowly creep into the head of the five.

"Darkness element Necromancy magic, Veritas"

"Arghhh!"

He needs information more than anything else. If he could locate the other temples of the monastery then it'll be easier to eliminate them.

"12 temples of the monastery one destroyed by the emperor while the remaining still remained hidden"

"I need to know where the remaining eleven"

Cries of grief continued to echo while the rain began to fall normally again.

"I see, a man named Elijah"

After reading their memories he found the man who instigated their invasion inside the Academy ground.

"I'll deal with him later but first" he switched his gaze towards the five, unexpectedly they remained awake despite the pain brought by the spell.

"Ha...ha...the great Nirvana wi-..."

His head fell off before he could continue his words.

The dark burn-like hands turn themselves into harp objects that cut through the head of one of the five scouters.

"I don't have time for all of you so I will have to go"

Then sparks of lighting surge from his body.

"I need to deal with that mole then I'll extract his memories"

He said while activating his spell.

"Thunder aura!"

"Boom!"

He flew away leaving the four remaining scouters stuck with his spell.

"This is our chance we need to move now!"

One of the scouters said while trying to pull his blade to cut through the black hands.

"Hey, can you hear me?"

He looked at his comrade realizing they had become dried corpses.

"No....this can't be...."

He put more strength to break free however he could feel his power fading away as he moved.

"NOOO!" he shouted while being engulfed by the cursed hands.

....

"Are you sure we should leave him?"

Niko asked while gripping the hilt of his sword.

"We will only be a hindrance if we stay there" Alicia argues as she runs like the rest of the lower class.

"How many enemies does he need to confront Alicia?" Samael asked while holding onto Arabella.

"Five"

"Will he be fine?" Agnes worriedly said to which Alicia confidently answered.

"Yes so don't worry"

While they run through the rain a figure of a man suddenly emerges. Strangely his clothes were soaked with blood instead of the pouring rain. Then this man suddenly spoke making the students in front of him worried.

"It's good to see that you kids are doing well" his husky baritone voice somehow added mystery to his sudden appearance.

...

"A teacher in league with the monastery"

He gritted his teeth while travelling through the air.

"I thought I had eliminated any spies inside the academy, to think I missed one"

"However how? I scanned every teacher and eliminated those with a contaminated mana"

[It's either they did a good job hiding or they did not receive anything that could contaminate their mana]

"Did they perhaps figure it out that they had been caught because of it"

[Possible Creator]

He stops speaking any more when he arrives inside the Professor's dormitory.

"Are sure he is inside?"

[He is I have scanned the entire first-year section and was sure he is here]

"Alright let us go"

Apollo's body suddenly loses its lightning form and turns into air.

"Rearrange the barrier, Jeremiah"

[On it Creator]

The barrier known for its security was soon rearranged by Jeremiah.

"It's funny how this could be done in our dorms to"

He couldn't help but say as he entered the Professor's dormitory.

Unlike the old building, which they called the lower-class dormitory the place Apollo invaded looks amazing with its new architectural style.

With Apollo's air form, he flew like wind across the corridor until arriving inside an office.

"Found ya"

There inside an ordinary-looking office Apollo's target remains sitting in his seat.

He was about to finish his job when he heard the professor taking a call.

"Hello?...yes I let your pets enter here why?"

Suddenly he sprang from his seat then he exclaimed

"What!"

This stopped Apollo and decided to stay where he was.

"What do you mean all your scouters are dead!....you told me they are skilled"

He began to mumble as if hearing something horrifying.

"Shut up! You told me none of them would be caught...I am telling you if one of them snitches on me!"

"Ha!...are you still boasting on your oath again for security!"

"You can't count on the oath since I didn't interrogate them"

Suddenly a voice pierces through the professor's hysterical words on the communicator making him look at the direction of his coach.

There sitting without a care was Apollo his sunset-colored hair bounced as a small breeze of wind touched him.

"Hi professor"

Apollo smiled as he looked at the cold expression of the professor.

The air suddenly tightened while the aura of the two clashed.

"You are?" the professor asked while moving sneakily towards his staff.

"Ah right I forgot this appearance isn't very recognizable"

The mask Apollo decided to wear before transforming turned into dust revealing his face in the process.

"Hi, professor Apollo Lionheart is here!"

He said while his smile almost scared the professor. It was a smile devoid of any emotion making you feel like it wasn't a human smiling but instead a doll
