Versatile System Online

“Arghhh…” Ray shouted in pain. The energy from the Nest Crystal finally reached his mana core as the mana core reacted against the foreign energy trying to invade it.

“Ray, bear with it. It takes time,” Aurora spoke in his consciousness.

“Okay,” Ray nodded in pain.

While Ray suffered from extreme pain, the dean and Emma- who were outside the magic circle- looking at the whole scene. Both of them had different expressions on their faces. The dean had an expression of sympathy as he knew that the pain being endured by Ray wasn’t something ordinary. As for Emma, she was shocked.

She could see Ray’s pained expression and how his body had nerves popping out everywhere. She could also sense his unstable aura and how he controlled it from being released from his body. Seeing all this, she turned to look at the dean and saw him standing there with a slight frown on his face.

“Do something. What if something wrong happens to him? Can’t you see his condition?” She asked loudly.

“That is what happens and for it to work, he will have to endure the pain,” the dean answered coldly.

“Are you for real?” She asked in disbelief.

“Miss.Brown, this is one of the biggest reasons why the energy transference technique isn’t made public. Due to the unstable energy within the Nest Crystal, the human body reacts against it; resulting in immense pain equivalent to that of being cut up by a thousand knives. Therefore, many just lose their will to continue and die while the rest push themselves and continue with the process but due to several reasons, they either get overloaded and explode or suffer from serious mutations and degenerative diseases, leading to an unstable mind,” the dean explained.

Listening to the dean’s explanation, Emma felt guilty for accusing the man. It was now that she understood why the dean didn’t share the energy transference technique. Just imagining the chaos that would be caused made her skin crawl as the people who would die trying would be unimaginable while those who would persist will have a chance of being mutated and only studying about these mutations would take years.

Thus, in short; it would be a complete chaos and with the merge above their heads, the world would end without anyone knowing why and how.

“Sorry,” Emma muttered.

“It’s okay. I understand the frustration and emotions you would have faced when you got to know of another way of evolution that is easier and faster but the danger and pain that it brings is unimaginable. To be completely honest, giving this Nest Crystal to Ray and the others is nothing but the last resort from my side. I would never want my students to go through such pain,” the dean said.

“Then why are you making them go through all this, especially Ray? Just look at him, you can see how much he is suffering,” Emma asked, a bit surprised and confused, “If he knows how dangerous it is, then why is he still making them go through this?” She questioned in her mind but chose to stay silent.

“Even though I am going through this, I am doing so with a heavy heart but what choice do we have? The merge is on the horizon while our people are betraying us while most of the younger generation is selfish and doesn’t care for the world,” The dean answered.

“But why Ray and the rest? There should be much better options?” She asked back.

“No! There aren’t. You see, as a team; the ones in front of you are the best this academy could offer considering first-year students. Not to mention what happened back at the dungeon, Ray is someone very important now,” the dean answered. Though he omitted some crucial details regarding Ray’s importance, it was clear that now; Ray and the rest were indispensable assets to the academy.

Within Ray’s body, his mana core started to accept the flow of energy as slowly; the pain subsided and the energy started to flow through his body. As the energy from the Nest Crystal flowed through his body, Aurora absorbed a good portion of the energy for evolution while the rest was left to nourish his body.

Then, while circulating through his body, the energy seeped outwards as it made its way towards others. From his right to left, the energy spread throughout the magic circle as a network of energy was made.

“Ray, I am increasing the absorption speed,” Aurora told. Just as she did, the energy surged as a huge amount of energy rushed into his body.

“Aurora, how much more?” Ray asked in pain. Right now, Ray felt as if his whole body was bloated as his bones creaked from being overloaded.

“Ray, you will have to bear with it as it will take some time,” Aurora told Ray and went silent as she didn’t know what else to say.

“Okay. I guess this is what they meant when they say, no pain no gain,” Ray muttered.

Within Ray’s consciousness,

A small multicolored wisp continuously absorbed huge amounts of energy while in front of the wisp, stood a magnificent dragon. The dragon was none other than the Void Dragon Mag’ladroth.

“How is it going?” Mag’ladroth asked.

“It’s going good. His cells are absorbing the energy,” A female voice came from the multicolored wisp.

“What about the limit? Has he reached it yet?” Mag’ladroth asked.

“His cells are reacting strangely. At the start, he seemed to have reached his limit but within moments, his cells adjusted to the flow of energy and started to devour the energy,” the wisp answered.

“That’s good. Although strange, at least his aptitude doesn’t seem to be lacking,” Mag’ladroth said and then went silent.

The multicolored wisp also went silent and absorbed the energy flowing into it. As for what the wisp was, it was actually Aurora who had taken a corporeal form.

As the energy was being absorbed, a notification window popped in front of Ray, stating;

[ENERGY ABSORPTION UNDERWAY:- (1% / 100%)]

Looking at the window and the statistics shown, Ray sighed heavily as he knew that it was going to take a lot of time and suffering before he evolved into the Magical Realm.

Slowly, the others also started to groan in pain as the energy made its way to their mana cores. After all, at the stage they were at, everyone had formed a mana core.

“It has started. It won’t be long before we find out who has the least potential,” the dean said.

“What do you mean by that?” Emma asked in confusion.

“You see, aptitude matters on the limit of energy one can absorb. The greater the energy one can absorb, the higher their aptitude,” The dean said.

“And what would happen if someone has a lower aptitude,” Emma asked.

“Well, nothing much would happen; it would just be that it would be harder for them to evolve later on,” The dean answered.

“How is aptitude graded?” Emma asked.

“Well, there are certain apparatus for that. Those apparatus can calculate aptitude accurately while what I just told you of is a crude method that can be used to calculate aptitude,” The dean answered and added, “Also, we calculate aptitude when someone reaches the Magical Realm,”

“Hmm… What about me then? I have reached the Magical Realm?” Emma asked.

“Well, it will be done when all of you will have evolved,” The dean answered back.

“Hmm… Okay,” Emma replied and turned her attention to Ray and the others.

Just as she did, she saw something strange happening to Ray. She saw Ray’s whole body glowing. She saw the energy in Ray’s body condensing at one point as the mana core started glowing all of a sudden.

“What the?” She blurted in shock as it was the first time that she was witnessing such a thing.

“No need to be afraid. It’s just that the absorption speed has increased by so much that his mana core is filled to the brim with the energy from the Nest Crystal,” the dean told. The dean rubbed his hands in anticipation as he waited to see what would happen next.𝗈𝑽𝓛xt.𝒸𝔬𝓂

After all, what was happening to Ray was something very rare and even the dean had only read about the phenomenon in the archives of the Royal Library of Rysal Empire.

Over there it was written that only a few individuals had experienced such a thing and even that wasn’t described clearly.
