My Space-Time System

'The bane of most mages was close combat but who said Camilla was a mage.' Blake shook his head as he saw Radley being unable to land even a single hit on her.

Back when they were in the magic school, Camilla hadn't taken the position of a mage in their battle formation because she was a mage, rather it was because those attacking were more capable. With the likes of Damon and Haldor leading the charge, there was no need for her to get up close.

"You asked for it!" Clinching his fists, Radley activated the skill of his gauntlets which increased his spell-casting rate and the power of his spells.

The raging flames around him doubled in size, neutralizing the spells from the water wheel that never stopped firing, but then an earth wall suddenly erupted behind Camilla.

BOOM!

Out of nowhere the flames on Radley immediately exploded, but Camilla had already thought of all scenarios that could happen. The entirety of the Water wheel immediately enveloped her as she was sent flying into the wall behind her.

THUD!

Camilla crashed into the thick wall behind her, and immediately she recovered from the impact she saw the ground beneath her change to lava.

Radley had cast a fire and earth fusion spell, Magma eruption!

The magma beneath Camilla began bubbling, but before it could erupt Camilla cast lightning morph.

Zzzzg! Zzzzg! Zzzzg!

Camilla transformed into a lightning bolt and shot at Radley who quickly cast multiple earth walls to protect himself.

BOOM!

Camilla crashed through the 3 earth walls Radley had managed to erect before striking him and sending him flying to the other side of the room.

"Fuck me!" Radley cursed as he got up from the ground and saw the Water wheel floating behind Camilla pour into the lava behind her.

The sizzling sound of water quenching the lava resounded all around the training ground as massive amounts of steam were released into the air.

'It's over.' Blake shook his head.

In the battle between a pyromaniac and a Siren, the role of the pyromaniac was that of the aggressor, but if he was not able to end it quickly the Siren was guaranteed victory. This was because the clash of both elements resulted in the production of steam which is a key ingredient in creating a mist illusion.

Controlling the water vapor in the mist, Camilla spread the fog all around the training ground before activating the mist illusion.

"Time to end this." Camilla said as she took out 2 hilts that produced lightning whips.

"That's enough!" Blake said, ending the fight.

There was no way for Radley to stop the mist illusion especially since the Berserker spell also messed with his psyche. So, there was no point for the fight to go on.

'We were members of the elite class for a reason.' Blake shook his head at the one-sided beatdown that just took place.

Throughout the battle, Camilla wasn't even pressured for once. She had only done the bare minimum and had still won without using her weapons or even fusion magic; the difference in strength was glaring.

"Does anyone else have an issue with the decision?" Blake asked but received no answer. "That will be all for now. Captain Camilla, I will leave them to you."

With the introduction complete, Blake returned to his office and began preparing himself for the tasks that were about to come.

As a Major of the special ops, Blake had the responsibility of overseeing the activities of all units under him. That included reviewing and planning missions, dealing with the aftermath of missions, handling requests for missions, and so on.

This meant that he would be spending most of his time dealing with a lot of paperwork, and will only get some action when a mission was deemed important and difficult.

"The silver lining is that I would get more time to get past my bottleneck." Blake said. "That reminds me."

Activating the interface on his desk, Blake accessed the Ash corps database and began searching for the questions he had already prepared.

The first question was concerning the relationship between the 3 empires.

According to what he knew so far, the Kaldron empire was passive to the other empires, while the Synder empire and Tigeria empire were mortal enemies. What Blake wanted to know was the reason behind the enmity, because even his history classes back in the magic school didn't mention anything about it.

Unfortunately for Blake, after more than 30 minutes of searching, he still wasn't able to get any substantial information.

'This is beyond odd. How is it possible that no one knows the reason for such a level of enmity between 2 empires?' Blake said in a frustrated tone as he felt like screaming.

He quickly calmed himself down and began thinking about it. "I don't know if those in the Tigeria empire know the reason, but I feel it's something shameful that would destroy the image of the Synder empire if it was known."

"Maybe it might actually be something way older than we might imagine or even both" Blake shrugged.

Since he wasn't making any headway, he moved on to the next question. 'Real-time details of all empires.'

Among the 3 empires, the Synder empire was ahead technologically and was rich in industrious natural resources like crystal and metal mines. They experienced the 2nd most intense beast tides and also the most infighting due to their system of government.

The territory of the Tigeria empire was made up of multiple islands and a massive mainland. Although they were technologically behind when compared to the Synder Empire, they had the strongest marine force as well as the highest number of high-level cultivators in all the 3 empires.

Unlike the Synder empire where the throne was passed down to direct descendants, the position of emperor of the Tigeria was determined by strength. There was no room for the underhand schemes that came with politics. Also, the marginalization of commoners was close to being non-existent.
