Versatile System Online

“Okay, class. Any questions?”, the professor asked as he looked around the class to see if anyone was asking a question or not.

“Good, let’s move on to the next topic”, he said as no one asked a question and the whole class was also very attentive.

“The next topic we are going to learn is about controlling our spells on our own and not through our system. Remember, the system is just a conduit and the power remains inside you. It is just used as a medium to bring out that power”, The professor said as he continued,

“Not only that, the spells and abilities that our system allows us to use are nothing but a basic level of usage of the power that is within us. The real strength is to control that power and make the power output when using our system to be what is required at the moment”,

“Take me for an example, if I spar with anyone of you for the sake of teaching you something. I will control my power output to a point where it’s not lethal to you. If not, you all will be reduced to ashes”,

The professor said as he took a pause and waited for the students to digest the information.

“So sir, if the usage of spells and abilities are the basic uses of our system. Then what are the advanced uses that would allow us to unlock our system’s potential”, Adrian asked in curiosity with his hand raised.

“Good question. That is the next topic to learn but before starting with it. Answer a question of mine. What do you guys think is the main use of the system we have”, The professor asked as he smiled amiably.

“We will start with Miss. Jhones first. So Miss. Jhones, what do you think is the main or most important use of our systems”, The professor asked as he turned his attention towards Nia and asked her to answer,

“The answer is simple. The most important use of the system that everyone has is that the system is not just a tool for us to consider. The moment we get a system, it’s like another part of our body and so are the powers we get along with it. Therefore, the main function of the system we acquire is not to assist us in getting strong. It is for us to use the whole power of the system as our own”, Nia said as she explained the whole answer as if learned by heart.

This surprised most of the students and even the professor to some extent as he continued,

“Yes, Nia is right on that matter. The main function of our system is not to utilize it’s powers only but it is to make those powers our to use and integrate ourselves with our system to reach our maximum potential”,

“So, any questions?”, the professor asked as the class continued.

Ray listened to everything but having known all of this due to the long lectures given by Aurora, Ray felt rather bored. However, he didn’t do anything strange and took it as a revision because he kens that if he did anything suspicious, the professor wouldn’t mind teaching him a lesson.

“Okay everyone, One last thing before I end the class. Mr. Abraham would be teaching you the essence of integrating with your system and also how to get stronger using it. Therefore, I want everyone to attend his lecture and be attentive during it as there would be no extra classes for this lecture”, The professor said as he picked up his stuff and left the class.

With the professor’s departure, everyone left their seats as they headed out as well.

“Hey Noah, let’s have lunch together”, Ray said as he caught up to Noah and continued towards the cafeteria along with him.

“By the way, do you have any news of the monthly test we would be having?”, Ray asked as he took a bite of his beef stew.

“How would I know that? I am not the class monitor. In fact, it should be you who should be notified first since you are the class monitor”, Noah responded as he continued with his lunch.

“I guess so but I haven’t received any notifications from the academy”, Ray answered while he thought of contacting the dean on the matter.

As for the reason Ray was so eager for the monthly test? It was because he had an idea that the Academy would use the dungeon as the place for test and as far as Ray knew, the dungeon would be the best place for gaining rare materials and for farming experience points from killing monsters.

Though, Ray didn’t dwell on it and attended the next class with Noah. In the practical class, the Instructor Mr. Abraham did as the professor had foretold. He taught everyone ways to start integration with their system.

Since Ray didn’t need it, he practiced his techniques as he tried to find a way to improve his skills. On the other hand, the instructor didn’t say anything as well and let Ray be.

After the class, while returning to the dormitory, Ray got a message on his badge stating,

[Dear student, Ray Xanders, Please show up at the dean’s office within 15 minutes],

Although Ray was perplexed after seeing the message, he did as asked and made his way towards the dean’s office.

Meanwhile,

Within the dean’s office,

A heated argument went on between the Academy directors as everyone gathered on a virtual call,

“This is wrong. The dungeon has evolved faster than we expected. If we send the students there, they aren’t going to survive it and we would have a very high mortality ratio”, Moore said as he continued to oppose the dean’s decision.

“I agree with Moore. Also, the dungeon has very precious resources and if given to the students, it would be a waste of those resources. Though, I doubt many students would be able to gain those resources”, Another director said as he revealed his true intentions.𝑜𝐕𝐿xt.𝗰𝗈𝑚

Hearing the directors constantly arguing and denying his orders gave the dean a great headache as he thought,

“I don’t know who is supporting them from behind to make them oppose me so freely. However, I doubt they would do that in a month. I only have to wait till then and then I will reveal their true nature and show everyone what kind of hypocrites they are”, Although the dean thought all of this, he didn’t speak it loud and controlled his anger as he spoke,

“I know that you all are worried about the student’s safety and it’s understandable to worry about their safety. However, the merge is getting closer and closer while the students have little to no practical experience while most students don’t even have suitable equipment”, the dean said as he continued to speak,

“Meanwhile, if we choose the dungeon as the testing grounds, the students would be able to gain invaluable practical experience that would allow them to stand fiercely in front of future problems and catastrophes. Not only that, but it would also shape their mindset and train them to get used to killing monsters in the real world where their life is at stake”,

The dean explained earnestly while Moore once again questioned with a counterargument as he said,

“I get what you are trying to imply and I am with you on this but you know the danger of death in the real world, so I would like to ask if you have a way to counter this to ensure the student’s safer”,

“I have, and that is the other reason I called you all here. Remember, that this year we supplied Academy badges that linked up to the student’s system. Well, the badge also has another use outside of it’s normal uses, it has a minor teleportation formation that teleports the owners of the badge to the academy safe house in case they are severely wounded”, The dean said as he continued,

“Also, I had a chat with the head nurse and she has agreed to aid the students in any way possible”,

“Then I think it’s the best idea, it would help the students tremendously and if they get hurt, it will teach them to be careful next time when fighting against stronger opponents”, Amanda said cheerfully as she agreed with the dean and added as she turned towards the director who previously showed his interest in the dungeon resources,

“Also, the resources gained from the test would help the students forge new equipment for themselves while the blacksmithing department would also get a chance to shine”, She said as she shut off the director completely.

“Then I guess it’s decided, we should prepare for the test and strengthen the next generation to fight for us”, Moore spoke with a smile but deep inside, he grumbled over how the dean and Amanda always managed to salvage the situation and splash water over his careful plans.

With that, the meeting ended while Ray finally reached the dean’s office.
