Versatile System Online-Chapter 172 The Commander-General’s Mission

As only the commander-general remained, the dean stood at ease and spoke,

"So.. What do you think of him?"

"Hmm… Good choice Prometheus. He has good manners, a sharp mind, and is also strong. Also, his looks aren't that bad. Though, he isn't as good-looking as I am. Above average at best, I would say," the commander-general answered.

"Okay, enough with your narcissistic remarks," The dean retorted.

"Well, I guess that's where he got his narcissism from," Ray thought as he observed the exchange between them.

"Ahem… Good work kid. The way you stood back there was perfect. Not to mention how satisfying it was to see you shut that snot-nosed bastard from Russia. Also, allow me to introduce myself. Though, you might know me anyways due to my good looks," The commander-general said, "I am the current commander-general of the US military. Also, one of the very few people in the world who have evolved beyond the limits of a celestial,"

Listening to the commander-general, Ray's expression didn't change one bit. Though that didn't last long as the moment the commander-general spoke of being someone who had evolved beyond the level of a celestial, Ray's mouth opened in shock and excitement.

However, Ray contained his excitement and stayed silent. After all, the man in front of him; no matter how easygoing he looked was still someone who held most of the power in the country.

"I know what's going on inside your head but I will have to burst your bubble. After we evolve beyond the celestial realm, we can not share information with anyone. Not until we take the person as a disciple and decide to pass on our legacy to them," the commander-general said with a smile.

Listening to him, Ray nodded his head in agreement. Then, the commander general's expression changed as it turned utterly serious. Looking at Ray, the man spoke,

"I have an order for you,"

"Yes?" Ray asked, thinking that he might have heard it wrong. After all, for the commander-general to have an order for Ray, wasn't it too much?

"Yes, for you. Now listen up," The commander-general said, "I want you and your team to do a job for me,"

"Yes sir. Please tell, we are ready to do anything," Getting the man's confirmation, Ray's expression turned serious as he straightened his back and saluted the man. 𝙛𝚛𝙚ewe𝗯𝓃𝗼ѵ𝚎Ɩ.𝒄ｏ𝐦

"Okay, so here is what you are going to do. From now on, your team will be part of the special operations team where you will be sent on missions to clear out low-level dungeons and clearance missions. From such missions, you will gain experience and eventually gain strength and complete high-level missions later on," The commander-general said.

"But isn't that something that all Academy students would be doing?" tilting his head in confusion, Ray asked.

"Yes every student would be doing this but it's different for your team. Even though you will solve low-level missions, the type of missions you will be solving would be very unique as you will be given special dungeons to clear and rare types of clearance missions to do. These missions won't be made public as all these missions have certain interference from the outer world. Also, your team would be working directly with big families such as The Williamsons and The Jhones," the commander-general spoke as he took a pause when he spoke of working with the families.

"And you want us to gather information to find out about certain things," Ray said as he revealed the commander general's intentions.

"Yes! I like you kid. Keep up with it and you will reach far in the future," The commander-general smiled.

Ray nodded and thanked the commander-general as he stepped back. Ray knew that his job was done and it was time for the dean to speak with the commander-general. Hence, he went back and got seated with his team.

As for the dean,

He stepped forward and waved his hand. As he did, a small barrier appeared as it covered the dean and the commander general's hologram and isolated them from the surroundings. This way, the dean was able to have a chat with the commander-general privately, without asking the others to leave his office.

"Yes master," The dean said. Adopting a firm stance, the man kept his head down as he waited for his master's approval.

"At ease Prometheus," the commander-general said.

Nodding, the dean eased up and said, "I sent you the information you asked for," pan(da-n0vel.c)om

"Yes, I received that information. However, are you sure that it's correct because if it goes wrong, things might become dire as Moore has good backing and if the plan doesn't work, his backer might make things troublesome for us," the commander-general said.

"I am sure of it. I just need your signature to search. Also, what of the kids who have been involved by Moore," The dean asked.

"I will trust your intuition once more and approve your document. As for the kids, hand this mission to Ray. He and his team should be able to take care of it," The commander-general answered.

"Anything else?" The dean asked,

"Nothing more. Just remember to be alert at all times and conduct a complete search of your Academy and find those traitors. Also, keep an eye on the kingsman family. If they have betrayed us, then inform me as fast you could and leave the rest to me," The commander-general said. Then, rubbing his chin for a moment, he thought of something and asked,

"What of the spy you captured?"

"Yes, that guy. Well, with his help we have obtained some key information about the other world. Also, we have sent him to infiltrate the enemy base and fitted a tracking mark in his system. This way, not only will we have a location of the enemy base but also their layout as the tracker could also act as a scanner and scan the base layout," The dean said.

"Hopefully, he won't get caught as we don't know how advanced the enemy is. So it will be in our fortune that the tracker isn't found," The commander-general said.

After that, the dean discussed a few more things, and the call was ended. The barrier disappeared and the dean walked out. A slight smile on his face as he turned to Ray and spoke,

"The commander-general has great expectations from you and your team. Hence, do your best and live up to his expectations. Don't let him down," The dean said and added, "Also, you have had a long day or as I say, a long week of work. So go back to your dorms and relax for today, I will discuss more tomorrow," The dean said as he let Ray and his team go.

"Also, I will ask Amanda to have a look at your teammate, Tim,"

"Thanks a lot," Ray said as he gave a slight bow to express his thanks and left with his team.
