Versatile System Online

Reaching the dean’s office, Ray and the rest realized a strange tension to be in the air. Walking in such an atmosphere, they subconsciously straightened themselves and stood at the door.

“Come on in. I was waiting for you lot,” The dean spoke.

“Yes sir,” they spoke and walked inside the office and stood in front of the dean’s table.𝗇𝗈𝑽𝐄𝓛𝑛𝓔xt.𝒸𝔬𝓂

“How are you all doing? I hope you had a nice rest,” The dean asked with a smile on his face.

“Yes sir,” They answered once more, refusing to speak anything extra; they spoke in the same way soldiers did when answering to their superior.

“Good,” hearing their response, the dean nodded in satisfaction and turned his attention to the heap of files in front of him.

While he did so, Ray and the others stood in their place and waited for further orders.

A few minutes later,

The dean raised his head and spoke, “Follow me,”

Saying that, the dean stood up from his chair and walked to his bookshelf. Then, reaching for a book over there, he took it out and pressed a small button beneath it. Right after he did that, the bookshelf made a movement and moved aside as it acted as a doorway to another place.

As the passage opened up, the dean motioned them to follow him and walked inside the eerie-looking passage.

Seeing this, Ray and the others didn’t hesitate for even a second and followed the dean as they also walked through the passage.

Stepping through it, they all felt the familiar sensation of being teleported to another place. With their heads spinning and the feeling of walking through a membrane, they had no problem crossing the portal.

Walking out of the portal, they saw the dean standing in front of them. Besides him was another older gentleman wearing a formal suit and a hat on top of his head.

Coupled with the small goatee on his chin and the cane in his hand, it really did make him look like a person of the past. However, even when seeing the older gentleman; the whole team stayed silent and instead beat their chest with their right hands and performed a formal salute in the style of the US military.

“Good work kids,” The old man’s vigorous voice sounded. His aura was completely different from how he looked. As the man spoke, the team merely nodded and kept their heads down in respect.

As for why everyone was acting in such a strange way. Well, it was obvious since the man standing in front of them was none other than the commander-general of the US military.

Therefore, when they had entered the dean’s office. Ray had informed everyone of a presence stronger than the dean somewhere close and told them to act with the utmost respect.

“I guess you trained them well,” The commander-general turned to the dean as he spoke while the dean merely nodded.

“Okay, kids. I called you here for a few reasons but before explaining those reasons to you, I must warn you that whatever happens here stays here. I don’t want any information leaking, not even to your family. Understood?” the commander-general asked. Looking at them with a stern look as a dangerous glint shone in his eyes.

Listening to his words, the whole team unconsciously stiffened up as they felt an unimaginable pressure weighing upon their shoulders. Hence, they nodded slightly as the pressure reduced.

“Good, now where is the brother-sister duo? After all, they are also a part of your team,” the commander-general spoke. Scratching his chin, he seemed to think about something as he added, “Don’t tell me you decided to kick them off the team,”

As the commander-general said those words, his expression turned even more serious as he cast a look towards Ray and raised an eyebrow as if to confirm if he was right or wrong.

Under the man’s pressure, Ray had difficulty breathing as he felt like a mountain weighing upon him.

Therefore, to ease the pressure on himself and explain everything to the commander-general, Ray used his bloodline as he tried to fight against the commander general’s pressure through it.

As he used his bloodline, the pressure upon him lifted significantly as a small bubble was made that protected Ray from the commander general’s oppressive pressure.

Then, using the little time he had, Ray spoke, “Sir, they are in the team. It’s just that Emma stayed behind to wake up Sirius,” Ray answered, and right after he did, the small bubble he had created to resist the commander general’s oppressive pressure burst as it couldn’t handle to commander general’s pressure anymore.

“Arghh,” As the pressure hit him stronger than before, he groaned as his body creaked under the pressure.

Right as he felt the pressure injuring him, it stopped as the commander general’s voice sounded, “Okay, I accept your excuse. Though, they are to be here soon,” The commander-general spoke sternly.

“Un,” Ray nodded and stood straight as everyone waited for Sirius and Emma to arrive.

A few minutes later, the door to the dean’s office opened as Sirius and Emma stepped through it and saw a hologram of the dean pointing in the direction of the portal.

“Guess we have to go down there,” Sirius muttered and walked to the portal.

“Hey, what if it’s not safe?” Emma held his hand and asked.

“Come on Emma. It’s the dean’s office, what could go wrong here? Also, wasn’t it the dean that called us here, and isn’t that the dean’s hologram asking us to go there?

“But what if it’s for someone else?” Emma asked, still unsure if they should walk down or not.

“Use your system and sense the lingering aura in the air,” Sirius said.

“Okay,” Emma nodded and used her system as she sensed all the auras in the surroundings.

“Okay, let’s go,” Emma spoke after sensing her surroundings.

“What happened now? They all went there, didn’t they?” Sirius smirked as he asked.

“If you know then shut up. No need to rub it in my face,” Emma retorted and elbowed Sirius on the stomach.

“Hey! That’s unfair,” Sirius said as he rushed to follow Emma but by the time he did, Emma had long stepped through the portal. Sirius did the same and stepped through the portal as he arrived where Ray and the others stood.

“Guess I am at the right place,” he muttered and walked to his team, and stood there.

“Good! Now that everyone is here. Let me explain,” The commander-general spoke, “I have called you all here for your first mission. Now, I won’t be briefing you on it, Prometheus will. What I am here for is to inform you all that whatever your mission is, you have to give it your all and complete it. However, if the mission doesn’t concern the lives of innocents, then you all don’t have anything to worry about but if it does, then let me make it clear that even if you die trying; that’s the least you could do. Therefore, remember to complete your mission as every mission is oriented in a way that if you fail to do so, a lot of people would die,” The commander-general spoke.

As he finished speaking, his face had become even sterner as he looked at everyone as if he was the grim reaper himself.

“Now then, let me hear your salute for the nation and its people,” The commander-general shouted.

“Yes sir,” Ray and his whole team responded with enthusiasm. Their bodies were straight as an arrow and determination shone in their eyes.

“Good. Now I will leave since my work here is done,” The commander-general said as his body disappeared without a trace.

As the commander-general left, everyone exhaled in relief as they eased their posture and turned to look at the dean.

“Your mission is sent to your badges. Also, I have raised your authority to that of a senior instructor. This way, you will have access to a vast amount of information in the Academy Database,” The dean spoke as he turned around and made his way back.

The others followed him and while they did, they thought of the events that occurred just now.

“To think that the commander-general would visit us personally to assign us a mission. How lucky,” everyone thought as they felt immense honor.

And just like that, they reached the dean’s office. As they stood in front of the dean’s desk. The dean put a crystal on his desk and spoke,

“This over here is a crystal containing an amount of energy beyond your imagination. The purpose of me showing you it and telling you about it is that I have decided to give it to you. Well, initially I decided to give it to Ray but as he wouldn’t be able to use it all by himself; I decided to give it to the whole team.”
