[System Creation complete]

[Your system will now use mental energy to spread from one person to another. The target should be under a 5 meter radius for the system to make a copy of itself on them.]

[Copying one’s awakened ability to give it to others will also require you to use mental energy and the copied ability will be a degraded version. To perfectly copy an awakened ability, you’ll have to use your divine energy.]

‘Great. Tell me how much I can let the system spread with my current mental energy capacity. Compare it with the time boost.’

[Affirmative]

[Current Duration for 2x time boost = 597 minutes]

[One system share is equivalent to 5 minutes.]

[The maximum number of people it can be shared with, is approximately 119 people.]

‘Okay thanks.’ Keith said mentally and left his spatial dimension.

He hadn’t used too much of his mental energy today, so he decided to pick 50 people before his fight would start.

‘Once everyone is ready to leave, I can use the rest of my mental energy. It’s better to save more than half for emergency purposes.’ he thought as he opened his eyes and looked around.

His group was nowhere to be seen inside the hall, so he knew that they were outside. In face, he was one of the very few people who were sitting inside the large hall.

Keith walked out and saw the people cheering loudly. Just one look at the crowd and he could tell that the duels had already started. It was clear that the system had taken way too long to be created. But even with this, he still divine energy left over.

The gacha wheel popped up in front of him and although it didn’t have the red sections, all the orange sections were still there.

‘I’ll do the luck ritual once this whole thing is done.’ he thought, but suddenly had an idea. A smirk formed on his face as he silently walked towards the crowd while he searched for his group.

‘I’ll have to do the luck ritual here in the real world but since I can do anything in my spatial dimension, I wonder if I can also enhance my luck in there.’

It was just an idea but he was hopeful since he had the ability to manipulate time and create something out of nothing inside his spatial dimension.

Though, creating something out of nothing cost him a lot of mental energy.

After walking around for a bit, he found his group and went ahead to join them.

“Oh you’re back.” Mathew said before pointing at the two guys who were holding a violin. One of them was playing it while the other was silently watching with a defeated expression on his face.

Keith nodded and whispered, “That guy plays the violin pretty well.”

“He’s good indeed. But I’m better.” the prince said and Keith shook his head before focusing on the performance.

Multiple people came forward and most of them had competitors. The few people that didn’t have anyone challenging them, simply did their part and moved on.

Minutes trickled by and finally, the red haired guy walked towards the open space in the middle. He looked at the crowd as if he was trying to intimidate people and then bowed down slightly in front of the king.

“I am an expert swordsman. If anyone would like to challenge me, you’re free to do so.” he said and then glanced at the princess before smiling, “I’ll win your heart with my blade, my dear princess.”

Mathew and the others immediately looked at Keith and this change did not go unnoticed by the crowd.

Everyone turned to look at Keith and all of a sudden, he felt slightly conscious about himself.

Without showing emotions, he held his head high and walked forward. He gave the king a slight, respectful nod before turning to look at the weapons stand that was placed a few meters away from the place where the king now sat.

There were weapons made of wood and also ones that were made of steel, iron and other metals.

Keith leisurely turned his head to the side and looked at the red haired guy, “Hi, my name is Keith and I’m an inquisitor. I’ve heard that you’re a very good swordsman, so I just wanted to see where I am.”

“I don’t mean to disrespect you, your highness.” he said as he looked at Silvia with a smile, “I simply wanted to see if the ones who are going to marry you have the skills to back them up instead of just titles.”

Silvia’s lips had turned white by now but she still gave him a slight awkward smile before nodding, “Feel free. The ones that dare to ask for my hand should at least be the level of a sword master.”

The empire had their own titles that were given to people based on their sword mastery, but to Keith, this did not matter much. He had reached a level where he could beat Adrian in a duel and Adrian was one of the strongest sword masters in the empire at this time.

He turned to look at his opponent and smiled, “Are you not going to introduce yourself?”

“You said that you knew me didn’t you?”

“Indeed.” Keith said and paused for a second before smirking, “I was just following the noble etiquette. I didn’t expect the son of a grand duke to be this crass. Oh god, I think I’ll feel really sorry for the princess if you win this one now.”

“Max Von Cruz.” he said and stormed towards the weapons rack before grabbing a steel sword.

“I hope you don’t mind a proper duel.” he challenged as he grinned at Keith, who shrugged before slowly walking towards the weapons rack too.

He picked up a sword that was slightly shorter than the one Max had taken, but after trying to get a feel for it, he nodded silently and walked back to the center.

“I’m ready. But since this is a proper duel, I hope that no one will blame me if accidents happen.” he said before extending his hand forward as this was a custom among the swordsmen in the whole continent whenever they planned to fight each other in an official duel.

Max nodded and glanced at his father before walking towards Keith to shake his hand, “No one would bother.”

Both of them took a few steps back and Keith immediately gave his system an order.

‘Show me his status screen and mine too so that I can compare.’

‘A dragon made of flames huh? I feel sorry for you but this isn’t a fair match up.’ he thought as he kept his eye on Max while he waited for the signal.

Soon, the sound of the bell rang in his ears and Keith immediately rushed forward. Max did the same and dashed towards Keith at such a speed that the crowd felt surprised.

His posture was low as he closed in on Keith and as soon as he got into range, he slashed upwards. It was his most favourite move as most people were unable to block this attack until now, but to his surprise, he heard a loud clang.

The sword had barely moved upwards and Keith had already blocked the attack. It was as if his move had been read flawlessly.

“Hmm.. did you learn this from Adrian?” Keith asked as he kicked, but Max pounced to the side and rolled away before getting back up.

He gave Keith a complicated look before nodding, “He beat me in a spar a few years back and yes, I did learn this move from him.”

“I see.” Keith responded before rushing towards Max once again and both of them clashed their swords this time.

None of them backed down and Keith stared directly at Max, making eye contact before he smirked.

“I beat Adrian.”

“No you didn’t!” Max screamed and kicked Keith away.

Caught off guard from the sudden outburst, Keith took a few steps back and shrugged, “Stop crying now.”

It was clearly a taunt, but Max absolutely hated it. Something told him that he couldn’t beat Keith in a pure sword fight, so he immediately turned to look at the Emperor and the princess who were sitting beside each other.

“Am I allowed to use my ability here? It’s not fair if we can’t use everything we have, is it?” he asked as he grinned widely, almost looking like he was gritting his teeth.

The emperor raised his hand and nodded, “Use everything you have.”

“Heh, you heard him!” Max exclaimed as he laughed and as he did so, a long snake like creature few out of his mouth that was wide open. After flying out, it grew in size and had become almost one meter wide.

It’s length was also a lot and Keith could tell that it was around ten meters long. The snake was originally red in color when it came out of his mouth, but as it grew larger, it’s color changed.

It progressed from red and moved through orange, yellow, blue and finally, hit white.
