Versatile System Online-Chapter 223 Discussing The Issues

As everyone looked at Ray in shock, the long-nosed girl seemed to have thought something as she stood up again and said,

"I don't believe you,"

"Huh?" Listening to her, everyone was dumbfounded.

"Is she insane?"

"Doesn't she see the dean's seal? If the trusts the man, then so should we," They all thought.

However, amongst them; there were some who had a slight smirk on their faces.

Ray sighed, turning to look at the girl; he asked, "How should I make you believe?"

Being looked at by Ray, the girl felt her heart skip a beat. After all, the man was strong enough to defeat her with one look but with the support of some others, she gathered her strength and spoke,

"I want you to show me the evidence that this seal belongs to the dean and him only and is not a fake seal made by you or the head nurse. Also, I want you to tell me what the dean has directed you to do. I won't be following you blindly," She spoke.

As she did, many others also felt that what she said was reasonable and nodded along with her.

Seeing all this, Ray really felt like cursing the girl but stopped himself. He was in front of so many people and right now, his image mattered the most. Calming himself down, Ray picked up the seal and thought,

"Just how could I make them believe its authenticity?" As he thought, he also knew that he had to hurry. Everyone's eyes were on him.

Taking a deep breath, he threw the seal on the table as it slid to the middle. Then, transferring some amount of mana into it; he activated the authorization of the seal.

The seal authorization was a function that not only told one person's authorization in the academy but also their position and importance. Therefore, as he activated it; a holograph was projected from the seal.

In the holograph, they could see the dean's photo, name, and some more info. However, the most important thing about it was the note written down below.

The note stated,

"The dean's authorization is currently transferred to the student, "Ray Xanders" in the absence of the dean and other high-ranking faculty members,"

Reading the note, everyone had their mouths and eyes wide open as they couldn't believe the fact that a student they didn't know of was transferred such important authorization.

"Swoooshh" the seal flew back to Ray as he held it in his hands and then looked at everyone as he spoke,

"Now, I feel that it's enough for you all to believe the authenticity of the seal. As for the second part, let me tell you all what mission the dean gave me," Saying that, Ray stood up and projected the map of the academy on the table.

Looking at the map, he spoke, "The academy is currently flooded with trolls and my mission is to get everyone out of the academy and to the safe location discussed beforehand by the dean and me," He stopped for a moment and waited for any questions that might arise.

"Yes," A hand rose as Ray allowed it to speak.

"I just want to ask, what is the safe location discussed beforehand? Is it someplace other than the Academy or a location within the Academy itself," Asked a black-haired boy? The boy was Adrian Blake who belonged to one of the royal families. However, despite belonging to one of the royal families; Adrian seemed to be well-mannered and didn't show the pride the other kids of his status did.

"Good questions Adrian. I was about to get to it," Said Ray, "You see, the academy is flooded with trolls, and hiding within the academy isn't possible as no one knows what would happen here at any moment. Also, most of the arrays and formations of the academy are disabled while the current ones will turn off soon due to various reasons. Therefore, we will all be going to another location through the portals in the portal room at the other end of the academy,"

"Now, that brings me to my second topic, getting to the portal room," Ray said. Then, pulling a small laser out of his spatial storage; Ray beamed it at the map where the portal room was. f𝒓𝑒e𝙬𝒆𝚋𝘯૦𝘷𝐞𝑙.c𝑜𝐦

Apparently, the portal room was in the corner of the academy where there were still a huge number of trolls walking around. Then, turning to everyone; he spoke,

"Now, another problem is that there are still several students who have not been rescued yet. The students are either hidden in small corners of the academy or are fighting against the trolls for their lives. Therefore, we all are to not only rescue them but also assemble teams that would carry out different tasks to ensure our survival till we get out,"

As he spoke, he highlighted another issue; the food, "Right now, there are at least a hundred students in the infirmary while the supplies are limited. Therefore, not only do we need to search for food supplies but also for other items that might ensure our survival,"

As Ray stopped, Adrian raised his hand and asked, "Why don't we clear out the trolls as fast as possible and rescue the other students at the same time? Then, we all hurry to the portal room and get out of there. This way, we don't have to worry about many other supplies including food and water,"

"Nice idea," Ray appreciated. He looked at Adrian and smiled as he spoke, "We can do this but right now, we barely know each other and also, the required to clear the trolls would be at least one week and that is if we put all the students here at work. Also, we don't know what kind of other problems may arise during this time. Therefore, it's best to be careful and work toward our mission slowly,"

"But what of the academy functions? You yourself said that the remaining formations may turn off soon. If that happens, wouldn't the other creatures that are outside the Academy barrier, invade the academy," This time, it was the long-nosed girl who stood up and asked.

"You are right. I did say that, but let me clarify. The academy has enough energy for the formations to last at least one month. Also, shouldn't we focus on gathering more manpower and treating the wounded? Also, the trolls on that side of the academy aren't weak as the forest is also nearer. We don't know what the situation might be over there. Hence, it's better to be prepared," Ray answered calmly.

Then, looking at them; he asked, "Any other questions?"

As he asked, no one raised their hands to question him as Ray spoke,

"Okay then, let us end this meeting here for now. We will discuss more of the plan later on as right now, we all need to tend to our wounds. The next meeting will be tomorrow at the same time," said Ray as he, along with Sirius and the rest left the office.

Right after he walked out of the office, Ray blinked and disappeared. Seeing this, the others had an idea of what happened as they made a run for the emergency room.

"Bammm" Aella slammed the door open as she saw Ray lying on the ground in a pool of his own blood. His orifices continuously bled while his breathing was shallow and near to being non-existent.

"Sirius!!" Aella roared as she turned to look at Sirius with the fire of hatred burning in her eyes.

"It's not my fault," Sirius gulped and raised his hands in defense as Aella made her way to teach him a good lesson.

"Cut it you two," Aliya's angered voice sounded and she spoke, "Rather than fighting, you might want to check up on him," She said and walked to Ray.

With Sirius's help, she laid him on the bed and then examined his body.

"What happened to him?" Asked Aella in worry.

"Nothing much, he exhausted himself again and the show of strength in the meeting room further worsened his internal injuries. If he rests for a while, he will be fine," Aliya declared and started to use some spells to accelerate Ray's healing.

Then, turning to Sirius; she spoke, "Aella is right. You don't have to worry about him so much. I know you trust him and won't do anything without his consent, let him some time so he could rest," Then, leaning in; she whispered into his ear, "His internal condition isn't too good. Thankfully, his natural healing is exceptional and the wounds have already closed. Or else, he would be down for quite some time. Let him rest for at least twenty hours,"

"Okay," Listening to Aliya, Sirius nodded solemnly as he understood what she meant. If Ray wasn't taken care of, he might as well suffer from irreversible effects that might hinder his progress in the future and as a good friend of his, Sirius didn't want it.
