Everyone Else Has a System-Chapter 219 A Sudden Change Of Pace#2

"Above everything else, we need two things to even start hoping for our survival against the Parasites. One is a safe haven, a place where humanity can survive and build its defences and a place where people can become stronger and have its hope pinned. I will be making Arcadia Academy as the base and set up enough defences to make it strong enough to stand against a full blown attack," I spoke as I observed Amelia who began pondering over the whole situation.

She thought about it for a few moments before speaking,"I would like to know about it in more detail. What's the other thing?" she asked as she looked at me.

"A device that would give a warning prior to their arrival. While we can't predict when they would come precisely, an alarm that would give us an idea of how much time we approximately have would be really nice," I spoke as I began pondering over this whole situation before looking at Amelia who spoke,

"Sure. Just tell us what to do."

I nodded before turning to Mark Leeway,"Send Reeve here, I would be needing him here as well. Also come meet me in 3 weeks here," and then I turned to Christine and spoke,"call William here."

One by one, I tasked everyone within the room regarding the work they needed to do. Everyone had a specific role to play in the upcoming war and I needed all of them whom I had selected or was about to select, to be ready to fulfil their respective roles when the time would be right.

As each of them heard my command they looked at me with a pondering expression before nodding at me.

While some were given minor tasks like training or watching over the others, others were given major tasks that could change the direction of where the world was going. For example, I asked Annabeth to call Williamson and tell him that I want to meet Merlin within this week in Arcadia Academy.

While normally that personage won't even waste time to even look at me, because of the situation, I believe she will come here at once. All the more as I asked Mark and Amelia to vouch for me.

Then there was Lucas, whom I asked to take over Vanguards and join the three groups before passing it on to Adam Blake, the leader of the Grey Rectifiers, the other group which existed along with Vanguards. The final group's name was Light Bearers, which didn't have one leader but a council of 5 people leading it.

Lucas' work was to make sure Adam joins him and to combine all the groups as one and while I wanted him to do it all by himself, I still thought about lending a bit of a help to him to make things smoother for him.

Linda had an extremely special and difficult task of helping me out in opening the gate to the Netherrealms. Since, I will be going all out, it would be better if I get my own original weapon if I want to fight like how I used to and one of my original weapons, The Death of Duality, a set of dual chained black swords, was currently residing deep within the Netherrealm.

Once I had done everything I could do here, I decided to take on my classmates whom I called a few hours ago in the school basement. Since I needed to bring someone along with me who can credit my abilities in front of my classmates, I think bringing anyone present here would do the trick…

"Adara, Lucas and Annabeth, mind coming with me somewhere. Hera, you take over Adara's work for now," I spoke as I moved out of the room without wasting any time and those three followed me without uttering any word.

We used Lucas' car to reach our school area, where it was mostly empty except for a bunch of cars which probably belonged to the ones I called here. I, along with Adara, Lucas and Annabeth moved towards the class and then towards the basement.

In front of the basement gate, I found a bunch of my classmates waiting for me as they checked the time. The first one to notice me was Gloria, and as soon as she saw me she began walking towards me but soon her steps halted as she observed the ones alongside me.

"L-Lucas?!! Student Council president?!!!! And is that Miss Annabeth?!! What are they doing here?" The one who was shouting was Jenkins who stared at the three of them behind me with a blank expression.

The others were equally shocked as well.

Reaching closer to them, I turned at Adara and spoke,"unlock the basement gate," before turning to look at everyone present here. 𝒇𝘳ℯℯ𝚠𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜ѵ𝑒𝙡.co𝑚

Jenkins, Rheo, Gloria, Variel and Green… hmmm..

"Where is Howard?" I asked with a serious voice and Jenkins turned to me , saying,"He is with Paul right now."

"And where is Paul?" I asked as my voice turned a bit deep. The way I was looking at Jenkins, made everyone take a step away from me. Perhaps because things were already so off track that even a small deviation from my plans was enough to tick me off. Still I kept my cool enough to not do or say anything rash here.

"Paul should be in his apartment… it should be 15 minutes away from here," Jenkins spoke and I turned to Lucas and said,"Call Geralt Icer and ask him to talk to Paul and send Howard here. He has 5 minutes," I spoke before looking at Adara opening the gate to the basement.

"The rest of you come inside," I said as I walked inside the basement. The others looked at each other as they had already sensed the serious atmosphere from my demeanour.

"It is better if you guys follow him… he is in a really bad mood. It would be better to not tick him off anymore," Lucas advised as he called Geralt Icer, the elder brother of Paul Icer and began conversing with him.

Meanwhile the others, gulping a little, entered the basement room behind me. They didn't know what was going on… but they knew that it wasn't simple at all.
