Versatile System Online

A middle-aged man walked into the hall, he was 6 ft tall, and his build was lean and muscular while his emerald eyes seemed to shine in the sunlight and were quivering slightly from the excitement he felt right now.

His skin was slightly tanned while his slightly blonde hair blew in the air. All of these features made him look quite younger than he was, what betrayed his real age might have been the depth his eyes contained or how he managed himself.

If one were to gaze into his eyes, they would feel as if they looked into an endless well filled with wisdom. His gaze was extremely wizened.

This man was the Homeroom Professor for the elite class, Mr. Joshua as the dean would have called him.

The man waved his hands as he walked forward and the door in front of him opened. He stepped forward and entered the hall.

The previously chattering hall instantly engulfed in silence while all eyes stared at him.

He walked over to the podium and looked at the students in front of him. He saw that all the students were attentively looking at him as if just by looking at him would they be able to gain anything.

The professor suddenly frowned as he gazed over at the back of the hall.

At the back of the hall, in the corner of the last rows of chairs, a student sat with his eyes closed.

The student was none other than Ray, he had been like that for 2 hours now. He had arrived at the hall after he finished his breakfast and as he had two hours before the lecture started, he had started to meditate and better control the mana within his body.

It was also due to this that he chose the very last seats and at the corner too as meditating mana created obvious fluctuations in the air around him.

​ After all, he didn't want anyone to notice anything, lest he obtained any unnecessary attention.

This led to Ray getting lost in his training, thus failing to recognize that the professor had entered the hall and the lecture was to be started.

The frown on the professor's face deepened as he saw that Ray hadn't responded yet. Even when the whole hall had gone silent.

He was just about to lash out at Ray when his perception picked up very minute fluctuations of mana around Ray. This piqued his interest and as he observed more, he realized that Ray was circulating the mana stored in his body as he controlled the mana slightly.

The frown on his face eased a bit but he didn't let Ray off just because Ray had managed to impress him a bit. After all, as an esteemed Professor of the elite class and as well as someone at the Calamity realm, just below what the dean was at.

So holding onto his pride, the Professor flicked his finger and then with a,

"Whoosh",

A beam of light shot forward towards Ray,

As the beam flashed by, everyone had a nasty expression on their face as they thought,

"This guy is going to have a one of time experience",

"That's gotta hurt",

Such thoughts revolved around everyone's mind.

As for Ray,

His eyes suddenly opened wide the moment the Ray of light entered within a 50-meter radius presence.

He gently lifted his hand and caught the speeding ray of light.

However, at this moment Ray's pupils dilated while his expression turned grim.

He had only turned his head to see the Professor widely smiling at him. A hint of mischief in his expression, before an explosion occurred and Ray was catapulted to the back until he hit a wall.

The Professor only smirked and had already directed his attention towards his phone as he dialed a number and called for the people from the infirmary to help Ray.

However, just as he put his phone down, he saw Ray standing up from the place he had fallen into.

Dusting his pants off, Ray looked at the professor and nodded,

Afterward, he spoke,

"I am sorry for not noticing your presence when you arrived. I accept the punishment",

However, Ray's words had internally caused a storm within the professor's mind. He thought,

"That attack had the power of mid-stage advanced tier beast. How did he take it head on and got up just like that",

The thing was, that the professor himself downplayed it. Although the attack had the power of a mid-stage advanced tier beast, it had no penetration power nor did it have any technique or any harmful element within it. It was simply a small burst of energy.

But taking a hit from it and even shrugging it off as if it was nothing was a big thing in itself.

That was why the Professor was astonished. However, he didn't let this change his expression. He loved his ego and reputation a lot. Therefore, he only nodded at Ray's statement and started with the lecture.

"Welcome to your first class at the Academy. Today's lecture would be extremely simple as we will be touching on the basics of power system that exists currently while also discussing some more basic matters related to systems and System Online",

" Let's start with the power system, to be completely honest. The power system is very simple and easy.

First, tiers are the smaller components that support the larger components, called Realms,

The tiers are classified as,

Basic

Intermediate

Advanced

Peak,

And after the peak comes the threshold to breakthrough,

If one reaches the threshold to break through any tier or realm, they are known to be at the Pseudo stage of the next tier or realm.

This was all the very basic information that everyone knows about,

Now, the important thing is realms,

Currently, there are four realms that you all need to know about,

The realms are classified as,

Mortal

Magical

Calamity

Celestial,

As for realms above Celestial Realms, all the information about them is kept secret and is monitored carefully,

Now, one more thing is that currently, every one of you is in the mortal realm. What it entails is clear from its name, meaning that you all are still mortals and haven't surpassed the limit of a mortal,

This is the same for other realms too, their name entails their function and power as people in the magical realm could sufficiently wield the elements their affinities match with and could cast origin spells on their own.

Origin spells are spells that are specifically tailored and made for their user and are true to their personality and origin while also unique to them,

As for Calamity realm and Celestial realm, that is a topic of a later class, now moving on to the next…",

With that, the professor continued with his lecture as he explained more about the realms.

On the other hand, Ray was intrigued when he heard Celestial Realm and he thought,

"Isn't this the realm that the old man from my system awakening ceremony asked me to reach before knowing my true power and purpose",

As Ray thought about this, a sense of urgency crept upon him while his resolve for getting stronger further deepened.
