Versatile System Online

Chapter 51 Meeting At The Academy For System Users



“Thisโ€ฆ.”,

Aurora was left speechless by what Ray had said. For she knew that to an extent Ray was not wrong. Though she had been telling him about bloodlines and everything, it was for her to provide Ray with some basic knowledge,

But she did not know how Ray obtained a bloodline, she thought to herself,

“Howโ€ฆ how did someone from a world with no magic obtain a bloodline, nor was he strong enough to create one, nor was there someone who had bestowed a bloodline upon him, then how?”,

Aurora got lost in her thoughts, this person who she had bonded with was very strange. He had this mysterious energy that acted like a bloodline and had its sentience.

Even though she was not sure of what that strange energy was, therefore she concluded it to be a bloodline. But even if it was a bloodline, then how? how did Ray have a bloodline?๐๐‘‚๐‘ฝ๐”ข๐—…๐‘ต๐“ฎxt.๐’ž๐‘ถ๐—†

From what she knew, the humans from Earth could also gain a bloodline from their system but it was prohibited for any system to tell their host about it unless their host reached the threshold in which they could obtain one.

Yet this was completely different, for Ray to have a bloodline was unthinkable. Moreover, there was one more thought occurring within Aurora’s mind,

“Is that primal energy that Ray has within him even a bloodline”,

This was the most confusing thought for Aurora as she was not sure of what it was. Furthermore, she still had her reservations about not telling Ray about the primal energy and if she did so now, the trust between her and Ray would be weakened considerably.

Aurora went over many ways and answers but she couldn’t find any explanation for Ray’s question. She was stumped and her head ached.

The already silent room plunged into an extremely eerie silence, Ray had been silent, only using his consciousness to talk to Aurora. But now, both parties were silent, pondering over what to do.

After some time, Aurora finally spoke,

“I don’t know, I’m not even sure if it’s a bloodline you have or some strange power, it’s best we wait and see what it becomes”,

Ray nodded, he understood what Aurora meant to say and it left him baffled, for what Aurora had particularly meant is that the strange power within Ray was something even she could not probe and gain more knowledge of.

Understanding what she meant, Ray tacitly decided to change the topic of conversation and asked,

“Let’s talk about bloodlines and all later, what I want to ask you is, how come I remember nothing of what happened afterward”,

“Though I can’t give you a definite explanation, what I think is that the reason for you not remembering anything is actually a plausible side effect of the using the power within you and that too in such a way”,

“Furthermore, when you were using that power, your body was merely working on instinct while only a small percentage of your consciousness had been awake, that percentage caused you to seek help from the princess”,

Said Aurora, feeling very relieved that she could for once answer a question and also for the fact that Ray dropped his previous question. Understanding the fact that she could not answer the question at the moment.

Neither of them continued, while Ray went to sleep, Aurora continued to examine Ray’s body and try to make heads or tails about the energy that whether it was a bloodline or something else, something her intuition warned her of.

…..

While all of this happened,

Inside the Academy For System Users,

In the main meeting hall,

Thirteen chairs were set around a round table. The chairs were made of exquisite wood while their handles were padded with expensive leather and adorned with mysterious runic patterns that seemed to be engraved on the very material of the chairs.

The runic patterns traveled down from the chairs and formed a circle around the periphery of the hall. Even the table had runic patterns running down and joining in the circle.

The circle formed from runic patterns was about 5 meters in diameter while there were glowing orbs that floated above the table right in front of every chair that was placed. Even these orbs were connected to the runic patterns as energy surged from them and flowed into the patterns.

If Aurora were here to see the runes and the patterns formed by these runes, she would surely know about them as this was one of the most common powers in the world of System Online, it was called an Array formation.

These formations were made by people known as Array masters, Array masters were cultivators who excelled in making Arrays by etching runes on any piece of material.

These people were also known as one of the most unreasonable people out there, for they could form devastatingly powerful arrays that could even make a joke of powerful cultivators.

However, even though these array masters were not omnipotent, though they had the strength and ways to make heaven-defying effects by using arrays, there were still many things that limited them from doing so freely.

Taking trapping arrays, for example, these arrays could trap any existence that wandered within the array’s area of effect but for that to happen, the person must first walk into the array’s area of effect.

Moreover, the said person could also break free from the array’s effect by continuously attacking the array’s weak points or the energy source of the array.

Moreover, an array needed to be fueled by energy, therefore they could not be used continuously and only the famous sects could use long-term arrays.

Though there was an array carved out in the middle of the meeting hall that at the same time bound the chairs and the table with it, the functions of the array would be unknown until it was activated.

A few minutes later, the doors of the hall opened and twelve figures entered one after another. Each of these figures wore expensive clothes as they gracefully walked toward the chairs and took a seat.

Amongst these figures, four were women while others were all men, as these figures sat down on their chairs they closed their eyes and released forth a pulse of energy to the orbs glowing in front of them.

Every figure sent a small pulse of energy to their respective orbs, they did so simultaneously and in small quantities. After a few pulses, the glowing orbs seemed to change as a blurry image started to form in each orb.

As the image started to form, the figures stopped sending out pulses of energy and finally settled themselves down freely and started to chat.

On the other hand, the blurry image was gradually clarified but from the speed of clarification, it seemed to take quite some time to clarify.

The figures continued to chat as if they were in some sort of gathering rather than a formal meeting. After a couple of minutes, a man looked around and asked,

“Is Prometheus not coming? his seat is empty and you know we can’t start the meeting without him”,

To this, one of the women nodded and said,

“It’s not like Prometheus to be this late, he mostly arrives on time”,

Someone snorted,

“He has just gotten bolder and bolder, even defying the rules now that you all have made him the head representative”,

Just like this, the figures started chattering again, but now the talk of the table was none other than the dean of the Academy For System Users, ‘Prometheus’,

As the chattering got louder and was about to turn into an argument, the empty seat at the far end of the table glowed and a figure appeared within,

Seeing the figure, a woman affectionately said,

“Prometheus, you are here”.

A/N:- This might be sad news for many but it can’t be any sadder for me, the thing is that my college has started due to my hectic routine and less time left. I will only be able to upload one chapter a day. Therefore, the amounts of chapters uploaded would lessen but I will try my best to upload more on weekends.

Have fun, and enjoy.
