Versatile System Online

"Ray Xanders?", the dean asked,

"Yeah, I am sure of it. I can't make a mistake with that", old man Abraham replied,

"Then I will have to disappoint you, Abraham. The kid can't become your disciple", the dean replied while he shook his head.

"What do you mean that he can't be my disciple?", old man Abraham asked.

To which, the dean simply stood up and used an interference crystal.

After making sure that they were in a safe environment where no one would spy on them. The dean spoke,

"So how should I say this? Okay, let me get this straight. The kid, Ray Xanders is not some son of a big shot or that. Didn't I inform you last time that a person has awakened and that person could save us and Earth from the tragic future that awaits",

"Well, I remember you saying that. But what does it have to do with this kid", asked Abraham,

"It's because that kid is the one who awakened", The dean replied.

"What? The awakened one is a 16-17-year-old kid. Prometheus are you sure of it?", Old man Abraham asked as he raised an eyebrow.

He was pretty skeptical about what the dean said and why wouldn't he be. After all, leaving the safety of the whole planet. Heck, the human race would go extinct if that kid turned out to be a quack.

The dean on the other hand just assured Old man Abraham,

"I understand your concern, but believe me. This kid is the awakened one and not only me, the ancient demon testifies for him. Says that his system is some ancient system and also the fact that his system has its consciousness awakened is not for none", the dean said in a reassuring tone. Trying his best not to relay everything about Ray but still make old man Abraham believe him.

It was because the dean didn't want everyone to know of Ray's secrets and although Old man Abraham was one of his trusted aides. He didn't want to risk it.

No one knows when one would defect to the other side for whatever reasons they may have. The dean perfectly understood this as he knew that some smaller aristocratic families had already defected to the other side.

Though these families thought that they were being very quiet about it. The dean knew of them as he had placed his spies in such families. Although he couldn't keep up with monitoring the larger ones, knowing about some of them, even if they are smaller ones is an advantage that can't be missed.

Due to all of this, his vigilance had been raised to the maximum and the dean even kept things from his trusted people.

But the dean wasn't going to let his vigilance slow down Ray.

Therefore, he spoke again,

"Now, I know it's hard to believe me and I also know that you want to willingly mentor the kid but you can't take him as a personal disciple. You could slowly impart knowledge to the kid and after the first monthly test, if you are satisfied with his performance then you could ask that kid if he wants you as his mentor",

On the other hand, the old man Abraham simply closed his eyes in deep thought.

"Hmm, I like the idea. It would also help me observe that kid and see if he has what it takes to be an awakened or if he is simply fooling you", the old man Abraham spoke.

"Okay", the dean replied.

Afterward, the Old man got up from his seat and left the dean's room. Leaving the dean to work alone in peace.

Elite Class Dormitory, Ray's room,

Ray sat on his bed while he chatted with Aurora.

"So you say that only a single part of my bloodline unlocked and also that the part unlocked gives me an affinity to a variable space element", Ray asked Aurora.

"Yes, you are correct on that, but that's not all. Your bloodline consists of seven different bloodlines. That is why I said that unlocking the Void Dragon bloodline is unlocking a part or portion of your bloodline", Aurora replied and then added,

"Though your bloodline is very mysterious if taken as a whole. It does not seem from any angle that it has seven portions to it",

"So, do you have any idea on how to fully unlock the bloodline or at least any other portion of it?", Ray asked.

"No!, not as of this moment. But I am trying to. I do have an idea and it is that the stronger you get, the more of your bloodline you would unlock. It might also awaken during certain moments which might be able to stimulate your bloodline", Aurora replied.

"Okay, and what about the portion that I have unlocked? Are there any abilities or something like that", Ray asked expectantly as it had been some time since he got any new abilities.

"Yes, you unlocked two abilities related to the space element and also got an innate affinity to the space element", Aurora replied.

"Are you for real?", Ray asked excitedly.

"Yes I am sure", Aurora replied and cut off the connection to their consciousness.

One might wonder about Aurora's strange action of cutting the connection so abruptly but what she did was the right thing as right after Ray heard of his new abilities and affinity, he lost it.

He stood up from his bed and headed to the training room in the dormitory.

Entering the training room,

Ray saw 6 gaming capsules in front of him, walking towards the nearest one. Ray opened it and hopped into it, straight up entering System Online.

After entering the game, Ray ran towards the training hall.

After paying for a training hall, Ray entered it and then got ready for his training session.

It was then he remembered, he didn't know anything about what abilities he unlocked.

So he decided to ask Aurora,

"Hey Aurora, a little help here?",

However, he got no response from Aurora's side,

He tried again, but no response.

He tried a couple more times but getting no response from her, his expression turned sour. He knew that she ditched him at the last moment. Most probably because she knew he needed to train and Aurora didn't like training one bit, not watching Ray train at the least.

Well, who could blame Aurora for that? Ray was a training maniac who trained until his body got exhausted to the point when only sleep would be able to help the body.

It was also because of this habit of his, that the teammates had also run right after the two hours of mandatory training they had this morning.

Seeing that he will get no reply anyways,

Ray tried to manually find the abilities from the system interface, but little did he know that he wouldn't find them anytime soon.

On the other hand,

Within Ray's consciousness,

Aurora sighed in relief. She had truly dodged a bullet. Otherwise, she would have had to watch Ray train for hours and also help him with his abilities.

With that, Aurora got back to examining Ray's bloodline and its reaction to Ray's nonstop training.
