I created my own system

Chapter 43: Chapter 43: Sleep

"Argh!"

An ear-piercing scream made my ears agonize in pain. His voice which has a higher pitch than normal girls makes me want to slice his head off.

[That is murder]

I groaned prompting Alicia to finally let go of his arm, reluctantly she did.

"Ahh....my arm"

I held his shoulder and a trace of mana healed him.

"What?...wait....did...but you didn't cast a spell!"

He keeps stepping back before falling over to his friends.

"Piss off," I said slightly pushing him back.

"Ye-s!" He ran frantically along with his friends and disappeared before us, finally, we could have a decent time.

"Finally"

After that incident, no one dared to approach us again.

The day passed and we realized a slight problem.

"I don't know if I can sleep alone" Agnes said holding onto Niko.

"Same here," Casper said while looking at Matilda.

"None of us can sleep by ourselves" Alya said feeling a bit down about the situation.

"Should we get used to sleeping by ourselves?" Arabela worries however I have another plan for that.

"Apollo, where are you going?"

Alicia saw me leave and so everyone followed me.

"Where is Apollo going?"

"Don't know"

Blair and Mckenzie ask each other while walking alongside everyone.

"Is this?"

I confidently open a door and a spacious room enough for us appears.

"Welcome to the tea room" I said happily.

As I turned on the lights a room adorned with beautiful paintings and artworks made all of us gasped in amazement. At the center of the room, a grand fireplace made from a black mysterious stone rests as if waiting for us to start a light. Around the fireplace, plush armchairs and sofas are neatly arranged.

From the walls of the room, tall bookshelves and beautiful cups are all set up inside a cabinet.

"I never seen a tea room as big as this"

Aaron said as he slowly enters the room.

"We should remove the tables and chairs to create more space"

"Why Apollo?"

I smirked and said "Because we are going to sleep here"

My words made them happy.

"What are you all doing let's arrange the place we have to sleep here"

"Okay I'll get some mattresses and pillows"

"Let me help you with that Alicia"

While the girls went up to their rooms us boys began lifting the chairs and sofas outside the room.

"Where are we supposed to put these pieces of furniture?" Braiden asked me.

"Just put it outside"

"Okay"

Everything went smoothly and fun, I never knew setting up quilts would be this exciting.

Amidst our peaceful teamwork, Samael suddenly took a pillow and threw it right on my face.

"Right"

I also took a pillow and skillfully aimed it towards him.

"Hey, Mael don't run!"

I said as he tried to hide behind Vesta, unfortunately.

"Ow!"

I missed my aim and ended up throwing the pillow right in Vesta's face.

[Bulls eye]

"Not good, hey Vesta you okay"

I tried to approach her but before I could another pillow hurled through the air and hit my face.

"What the!?"

I looked at Vesta who had a wide smirk on her face.

"I see, so that's it no?"

I took another pillow and she did the same as we both threw our pillows towards each other, accidentally we hit Agnes and Niko.

"..."

"..."

The two of us stopped as we saw the two of them look at us with a slight glint of anger.

[Run Creator]

As soon as Jeremiah said those words a rain of pillows came for me and Vesta.

"Run!" I shouted as I moved my legs to dodge.

"What's going on?"

"Hey don't run!"

"Alicia where should I put these sheets"

"Apollo why are you run-"

I closed my eyes as soon as I heard a continuous sound of something being hit.

When I opened my eyes again I saw Alicia, Jillian, Blair and Matilda gasp their faces when an unexpected pillow hit them.

"That hurts" Matilda suddenly grabbed a pillow and threw it to Casper.

"Ahh...why me!"

All of a sudden we entered a pillow fight with foam mattresses and bed sheets as our battleground.

....

Morning came and I suddenly realized the uneven way of our sleeping. Agnes is sleeping on Niko's shoulder, and Matilda is with Casper. Blair's knees on Mckenzie's face, Vesta sleeping soundly while using Aaron as a pillow. Keith and Samael hugging each other, and then Jillian and Arabella used the two as their pillow. While Alya has her arm on Braiden's face.

I massage my head thinking about how we ended up sleeping like this. I remember playing with them but I couldn't remember if we were able to finish fixing the sheets and mattresses, I don't even remember what time we slept.

"Huh?" suddenly I felt a calm sound of breathing beside me.

There on my left arm, Alicia was sleeping soundly.

"Jeremiah time"

[It's 6:17 Creator you still have enough time before your class starts]

"And what time that is?"

[8:30 Creator]

"Damn"

I realized we had to move now, I looked at the girl who silently slept on my arm and slowly woke her.

"Alicia....Alicia"

I gently tap her forehead trying to get her consciousness to surface.

"Hey...Alicia" I continued to say until I heard a soft groan accompanied by a slight frown forming on her smooth face.

I chuckle at her reaction so I continue to poke her. Observing her up close I saw how tiny strands of black hair would fall on her face making her frown even more. I tap her forehead making me feel her soft skin. Then my eyes went towards her long eyelashes moving every time I tried to wake her up. It's as if she is fighting whether to sleep or to wake up.

"Alicia...wake up" This time I touched her cheek, poking it more made her frown, it seems like she is annoyed with me.

"Hey wake up"

"Ye-s" she finally spoke making me laugh a bit.

"Finally come on fix yourself" I slowly moved her head from my shoulder so that I could freely wake everyone.

"Guys it's close to 6:25 already our class starts at 8:30"

I wake up each of them and every time I do so, a series of groans and yawns can be heard.

"Wait....five more minutes please" A red spiky-haired boy grabbed me as he said this.

"Gelo Mckenzie I don't have time for this stand-up already"

"No please I am close to being with the princess"

"The what?"

I was having a hard time waking them up when a delicious scent of food made us hungry.

"Is that food!"

To my surprise, Mckenzie suddenly stood up and immediately ran towards the dining hall.

"That was unexpected"

.....

Inside the dining hall was a table full of delicious food. From a soft loaf of bread to warm soup and chocolate, everything was cooked to accompany our taste buds. Even though it was a light meal it seems it'll be enough to fill us for an entire day.

"Good morning dear students" a slightly aged woman welcomes us with two ladies and men with her.

"Are you guys the cooking staff the professor told us about?"

"Yes although cooking is not our only task, student Lionheart. To start my name is Martha and I am the one in charge of your meals and this dormitory"

"Now please sit down and take your breakfast"

We all nodded to her, and as we ate she began to speak about the rules that we have to follow.

"This dormitory has a curfew until 9 pm....."

She continues to speak even though my thoughts keep flying from here and there. The truth is I was scanning the four other staff. I want to make sure they have no connection to the people I was worried about.

"All clear thank goodness" I felt relieved seeing nothing particularly suspicious with them.

"And that is all for the rules please be mindful to follow them"

We finished our meal before heading to the bathrooms.

"About the tea room"

"We will handle that student Lionheart please just hurry to class"

I nodded liking her words so I immediately zoomed away inside our rooms to finally prepare. As soon as I entered I went straight to the bathroom and made a quick shower.

When I came out that's when I finally saw the overall view of my room.

My room features a high ceiling, and large windows letting plenty of sunlight to enter. Besides from a bed and closet, there is also a study table with a small bookshelf for my books. The area was designed to have multiple areas of activity like studying and relaxing without occupying too much space. Overall my room is quite spacious for a single person only.

I went to my closet and saw my clothes all neatly arranged.

"Right let's get it done"

I put on my underwear then my pants next was a white long-sleeve shirt. After buttoning it up I grab my military-style jacket and proceed to wear it.

"Now we are good to go"
