Versatile System Online

"How are you feeling?" Aliya came and asked.

"Much better. Thanks for asking," Ray answered with an amiable smile.

"Okay, but you should rest even if you feel better. Some more rest won't hurt anyone," Aella chimed in. Last time, seeing Ray in such a condition had pained her heart and she didn't want him to suffer so much. Therefore, she just told him to rest a bit.

Hearing her, Ray smiled. He felt blessed to have someone other than his mother and sister care for him to such an extent.

"Sure, I will," Ray said to her.

"Good," She said and left the medical room along with Aliya. Right now, she was working as Aliya's assistant in healing and taking care of the wounded.

After both girls left, the door closed as Sirius stepped out of the shadow. Looking at Ray, he sighed and asked, "What are your plans now?"

"Well, the dean has given us a lot of work. Also, there is something strange in the academy," Ray said frowning.

"What strange thing?" Sirius asked a bit perplexed over why Ray would say such a thing. After all, what stranger thing could there be than the trolls coming out from every corner and running rampant throughout the whole academy?

"While I was unconscious, I visited my consciousness," Said Ray. Then, hiding some details he told Sirius, "I found that since the space around the Academy is blocked, there should not be any new portals opening throughout the place. Only the first few portals that opened up make sense,"

"That is strange," Sirius nodded in agreement but he couldn't understand it much. After all, he didn't know much about space and portals or their phenomenon.

"Also, there is one more thing," Said Ray, "When I was fighting against the huge troll. I felt something peeking at us from behind the portal and when I sensed its presence and looked back into the portal, the portal simply closed as if nothing happened,"

"Now that is indeed very strange," Sirius nodded with much more enthusiasm than before. He could understand this aspect much more clearly.

"What should we do now?" He asked.

"Well, we investigate. Also, the dean has asked me to identify the traitors amongst the students and expose them," Ray said and then explained, "That is why I made everyone wait a bit longer before going through the portal room. I don't want any traitor lingering around my house or family. What I am doing is already a service to the country and those high-nosed b*stards whose heirs are over here,"

Sirius simply nodded. Knowing that Ray's mood wasn't the best of them, he chose to stay silent. He sat on the chair near Ray's bed as silence ensued in the room.

Meanwhile,

In another corner of the Academy,

The trolls stood outside a classroom and they continuously banged the doors. The class doors shook under the banging force of the trolls as the students within the class clenched their fists, ready for a fight as they knew that the door wouldn't hold much longer.

There were about twenty students in the class and amongst those twenty students were also some members of Nia's team. Also, there was Josh Wilfred. The heir of the Wilfred Corporation was said to be as strong as other heirs such as Nia and Ron.

"Get ready Will," Josh spoke and then raised the dagger in his hands.

"Banggg!!" the door burst open as the trolls came pouring inside the classroom.

With an eerie grin on his face, Josh licked his lips as his blood boiled. As the dagger in his hand shone, he disappeared. A silver trail was left behind as two heads fell to the ground.

Josh appeared back in his place as if nothing happened. The only change was that there were two headless trolls on the opposing side. Blood dripped from the tip of the dagger as he licked the blood and smiled in satisfaction.

Seeing this, Will only shook his head as he knew the sadistic nature of the person in front of him. However, in front of absolute strength, this didn't matter. f𝒓𝑒e𝙬𝒆𝚋𝘯૦𝘷𝐞𝑙.c𝑜𝐦

Will also regained his bearing as he took a deep breath and jumped. Although he jumped normally without using any strength to speak of, he jumped very high as if the gravity around him had changed.

Levitating in the air, he looked at the trolls in front and then kicked the air as he hesitated forward and reached the trolls. Extending his hands, he touched a couple of trolls as his eyes had some sort of deep turbulence waves flowing within them as the trolls were suddenly lifted in the air.

[Gravity Manipulation],

This was Will's ability. He could manipulate the traditional force and also change the gravitational orientation of other things whether living or non-living. 𝘧r𝗲𝑒𝔀𝘦𝙗𝓃oν𝑒l.𝐜𝗼m

As strong as his ability seemed to be, Will's ability was rather limited. Since the use depended on his knowledge and perception of gravity, Will had to do a lot of calculations in his mind to be able to use his ability efficiently, or else several complications could occur.

Other than Will and Josh, some more students stood up and defended against the trolls. A blue light shone as a stream of water appeared. The stream solidified as it turned into a rod of ice.

"Swoooshh.." It pierced through the air and flew as it impaled two trolls in a row.

"Hmph…such easy targets. I could do this all day," An arrogant female voice sounded as a blonde-haired girl spoke. She was Katrina Jhonson.

Belonging to the Jhonson's family, although Katrina got a lot of attention and lived a carefree life; she wasn't one of the direct heirs to the position of patriarch as her father was a cousin to the patriarch.

Also, her position fell even more after she failed to awaken the light elemental ability and instead awakened her mother's ability.

[Hydrokinesis],

Her system and ability allowed her to not only control water but a lot of different liquids. However, for now; she controlled water the best as its viscosity was rather less and her sub-ability, which allowed her to control the temperature of liquids allowed her to freeze water into ice and be more versatile when attacking.

Due to her jealousy of her second cousin, her personality was rather twisted and arrogant. She put herself above everyone and didn't even meet eyes with people having weak backgrounds.

"Josh," She called out, "We need to free some baggage," She said and looked at some students behind in a rather vicious manner. Those students were too scared to do so and even if they did, even taking down a single troll would be a burden on them as the trolls that everyone faced right now were between the intermediate or advanced tier.

Therefore, those students just stood in their places with their legs shaking in fear.

"You are right," For such a vicious woman, Josh was the perfect man and hence, both of them made a good couple. The sadistic man turned to look at the students and smirked. A plan formed in his mind as he started executing it.

Slowing down his attacks, he gave the trolls some more room and started to kite them towards the back of the class. Although the students feared that the trolls would come their way and attack them, they had some sort of faith in Josh.

They thought that although the trolls were closing in, so was Josh and that he would take care of the trolls. However, little did they know that their trust in Josh would cost them too much.

As Josh closed in further, he suddenly shrieked in pain and flew in the air to the other corner of the room.

The trolls who mindlessly attacked Josh stood still for a moment until they found another target and they started to chase after the poor students who stood at the back.

The students were still in shock from seeing Josh fly to the other side when one felt something biting into his neck. Touching his neck, she found a warm liquid gushing from her neck as a hellish stench came to her nose. It was then that her mind registered the pain and her body went limp.

"Arghhhh," She screamed in pain as the troll dug its teeth further into the girl's neck and started to chew upon it. The girl died, her eyes were open in horror and pain as she didn't know how she died.

The same happened with other students as only a few were left as they had gotten control over the situation and defended themselves against the trolls and retreated to safety.

From the other side of the room, Josh faked the sadness and pain as he internally sneered and thought,

"That's what you get for standing there like chickens,"

Along with him, Katrina also sneered as she continued to attack the trolls in front of her. However, she did so in a very calm manner so as not to let her intentions show on her face.

On the other hand, Will merely shook his head. Although his ability was strong and had great potential, he didn't have a good background and neither was he some sort of genius with enough strength to control those sadistic ba*tards. He let them be and just thought of his safety.

It was a dog-eat-dog world after all.
