Versatile System Online

"I feel that I should just use the first approach with him, after all, he doesn't seem like a petty person". Protheus assured himself over the plans he had made to deal with Ray. After listening to his system's warning, he had been extra careful to not get on Ray's bad side or to have Ray leave humanity in their darkest times.

Therefore, he started to put his plans in motion. Thus, he said, "Everyone, who has passed on the test, Congratulations!!. Now, I must ask all of you to leave other than Mr. Ray Xanders, I would like to have a chat with him.

As for rewards for those who made it into the ranking, they would be awarded on their first day of Academy after they start attending their classes. Moreover, the timings and the joining day would be told to you by our representative.

Therefore, all of you. Please follow the instructor to the exit while I would ask Mr. Xanders to follow me to my office".

With that said, the dean started walking to his office with Ray following him while the instructor led everyone else towards the exit of the building.

***

Ray was sitting inside the dean's office, fiddling with his fingers while the dean continued to indirectly apply some pressure upon Ray to test his boundaries. And to the dean's surprise, Ray seemed to be unfazed by all the pressure while his face only showed nervousness that one would show upon meeting a direct superior or a respected elder.

Therefore, the dean confirmed Ray's strength while he silently started to withdraw the pressure he emitted from within his body. However, to check Ray's mental fortitude, he planned to remain silent and see how Ray reacts to his behavior.

Little did the dean know that although Ray seemed to be unfazed by the pressure he applied on him. He already knew that he was the cause of the pressure being applied to him. Yet, Ray faced it without a hitch and took it as a form of training as well. However, the nervousness on his face wasn't fake. It was real as after all, at the end of the day, he was just a 16-year-old who had just got his system a couple of weeks ago.

As Ray endured the pressure that was being applied to him, he silently had a chat with Aurora, so that he could come up with a plan to tackle the dean's questions in a way that would not reveal most of his secrets while he would also obtain the most benefits from the dean.

Furthermore, Ray and Aurora speculated that the reason for this 'special' meeting between them was not the show of Ray's abilities but rather the fact that somehow, the dean knew about Ray's system and Aurora.

While Aurora also speculated that the dean also sensed the primordial energy within Ray as someone who could sense Aurora's existence would also be able to sense that energy that resided within Ray. However, Aurora did not mention it to Ray and thought of doing so when Ray was stronger and much more mature. So that he could handle all of the information that she would share along with the information about the strange energy with a calm head.

After the pressure receded from Ray's body, he asked Aurora, "So.. what do you think we should do now, shall we speak or shall we wait for him to speak".

Aurora replied, "I think that you should just sit tight and silently observe the man, he does not seem to have any wrong intentions and seems to be testing your capabilities".

"Um, hmm",

Ray nodded to Aurora's words while he sat on his seat and closed his eyes for meditation. He began his usual routine and started sensing the mana within his body. After obtaining the system for 2 weeks, he realized that he could also cast his spells and control mana without the assistance of his system. However, it required him to not only have immense focus while casting the spell but was also way harder for him to do so. Therefore, he had previously asked Aurora about this and she replied,

"Well.. this is a given that it would be hard for you to cast spells and control mana without the help of a system as mana is not an easy thing to control and use, whereas the system acts as a conduit and support for your body while it stimulates the mana within your body and helps you cast a spell".

After a break, she even told Ray that,

"Moreover, for you to not only sense mana but also control it to some extent while having awakened your system for just two weeks is something that not even the best geniuses of the biggest factions, families, and sects within the whole universe could do. Hence, You!! Ray Xanders are a very different person to do all that in such a short time, if I may tell you".

Ray did not ponder over Aurora's words and continued sensing the mana within his body while he meditated. About 5 minutes later, Ray seemed to have sensed the mana flowing within his body. It seemed like a thin thread of energy flowing through different points of his body and circulating all of his body organs, tissues, and meridians, strengthening all of them as it circulated through them along with his blood.  However, Ray felt that there was something more than that to the energy circulating within his body.

Therefore, he planned to delve deeper into the energy to sense what's more to it. Just as he was about to delve deeper into focusing more on the mana coursing through his body, a voice broke his concentration.

"Ahem", the dean cleared his throat and stated,

"So.. Ray, you may know that why we are having this meeting. And the reason for it is simply that there is something I would like to know from you, and I hope you know what I am implying to".

Listening to this, Ray nodded and said, "I guess it's about my system sir, what would you like to ask?"

The dean nodded, clearly satisfied with Ray's answer and choice of words as he spoke, "Let's not implicate things anymore, I would just state that if you need any resources or information in progressing your system, the academy would try its best to nurture you without suppressing your talent. Moreover, although you will have more resources to study and help with your progress in the system, don't get too ahead of yourself as the academy would require you to show progress to have access to the resources".

After listening to the dean's words, Ray had an inkling that although the dean knew about his system, things weren't very solid, or else he wouldn't have said his previous words. Therefore, to seal the deal, Ray spoke words that Aurora had told him previously so that he could speak those words to the dean so that neither the dean nor his system would betray their secret. Thus, Ray spoke,

"I fully understand what you mean to say sir, but I and my system conversed something before and I would like to speak some words to your system".

Listening to Ray's words, the dean's eyes widened with disbelief as his hands trembled from shock. After all, how could he not have such a reaction as not only was Ray saying that he spoke with his system but also wanted to say some words to the dean's system? Due to this, only two thoughts were revolving within the dean's mind,

"How does someone, who has just awakened a system a little more than two weeks ago have a system with its consciousness unlocked and fully functional and how did he know about his system and even wanted to impart some words to his system?".

The words that Ray spoke were ridiculous but his next words made the dean's legs go numb while all color paled from his face and he got scared to such an extent that even the dean's system took a corporal form.

Ray spoke,

"When chaos ensues, many would stand while many would fall, amongst those would be one, who would not yield. He will become the pillar of humanity while all others would be his subordinates. The one who will stand tall as a pillar would be as light and darkness. Light to those who would follow him while darkness to those who oppose. He will be the one and only, the great conqueror".
