Versatile System Online

As Abraham and Inferno left the area, a small shadow popped out of the crater. It slid amongst the shadows and disappeared elsewhere.

Meanwhile,

The Coastal Shore,

Silent Sword observed the whole coastal line and saw the merfolk increase their security. From time to time, some other merfolk came and changed shifts while a few were even stronger and dressed in better armor. They came and gave some orders and after they did so, the formations of defense changed.

"Something happened," whispered Silent to everyone behind him as the group of calamity-ranked experts behind him stayed silent.

While Silent Sword observed, he suddenly felt a strong presence coming towards the shore. Although it wasn't as strong as he was, he reckoned that the presence was somewhere near the pseudo-Celestial Realm.

"Get ready," He warned everyone and stood up. Unsheathing his sword, he held it perpendicularly and took a stance. Then, calming himself; Silent Sword achieved the very serenity of his mind.

The world around him disappeared as only a calm environment reflected in front of him. The sound waves appeared, and he felt the presence of the pseudo-Celestial realm expert. His eyes opened, peeking into the shore; he saw a woman adorned with an armor of strange material swim upwards with extremely fast speed.

In her hands was a silver trident with tremendous amounts of energy gathered around it.

"I guess they are starting now," Silent Sword muttered and then slashed his sword.

The sword slashed slowly. Looking at the sword, the other calamity-ranked experts felt as if Silent Sword was barely swinging the sword. As Silent Sword completed his movement, a wind kicked up as a huge pressure descended on the surroundings.

"Swooooshhh.." the sand was split into two as the sword arc traveled through the shore.

"booommm" The water was split apart, and a huge shriek sounded from under the water,

"Screeee," the calamity-ranked experts behind him held their ears in pain as they bled from their orifices.

Silent Sword lifted his hand. As he did, the waves approaching him were stopped as a cluster of sword arcs interpreted them and nullified them.

Then, looking ahead; he saw the water rise. A tide formed as the woman's figure was reflected above the tide. Her trident shone with an exuberant light as for the first time ever, Silent Sword felt threatened by someone below his level.

"Interesting," He grinned as his blood boiled in the excitement of a battle where he could go all out.

On the other hand,

The woman on the tide looked at Silent Sword as she observed the power within Silent Sword. As the daughter of the Sea King, the princess had the ability to sense the strength of other people as the Sea King's various abilities were inherited by her.

"Hmmm.. Not bad, but could he actually hold up something against me?" she questioned herself. Not sure if Silent Sword could actually match her strength, "Well, Only one way to find out," She muttered and then put the trident in front of her.

The water converged around the trident as the tide increased in size. It rose behind her and took the form of a sea serpent.

Seeing this, Silent Sword merely grinned. This was it. This was what he was waiting for. Then, lifting his sword in the air; he disappeared.

While a fight was to be raged on the coastal line, the Academy had other things going on within it.

In the medical room,

​ Ray lay on the bed as his eyes twitched continuously. Right now, Ray was observing his internal injuries and the mana pathways that had been once again damaged due to over-exerting himself.

"Why can't it go correctly for once," He thought to himself. Guiding the bloodline energy through the mana core, he tried to simulate his body by using the regenerative abilities of his Temporal Phoenix bloodline and increasing the healing rate.

After all, Ray had a great responsibility over his shoulders and also had to fulfill the mission given to him by the dean. The thing was that when the dean had given him his seal, there were a lot of things that were transferred to his mind and amongst those, the dean had asked him to identify the various traitors hiding amongst the students and find ways to get rid of them.

Also, Ray had decided to gather everyone and teleport them to his house because Ray felt safer at his house, and right now, in the whole of New York City, other than the mansions of those royal families; Ray considered his mansion to be the strongest and with most defense.

Other than that, Ray felt more at peace when at his own home, and also, the fact that he missed and cared for his family was above everything else.

"Arghhhh" He suddenly groaned in pain and sat up straight won't he stretcher. His whole body was covered in sweat. The wounds on his body recovered while slight flames blazed over his skin.

On his hands, small feathers appeared they shone a greenish-purple glimmer. Feeling a burning sensation spread through internal organs, Ray although in much pain also felt his body recover.

"No pain, No gain," he muttered and grit his teeth in pain.

Outside the medical room,

The Head Nurse stood outside the door as she closed her eyes. Sensing the turbulent energies flowing inside, she murmured,

"The dean really has a keen eye,"

While she stood and sensed the energies, she tried to simulate her power and started to match the frequencies coming from within the room to her own power.

"If I could do this, my powers could mutate further and I could get stronger," She thought to herself.

In another room, two girls and one boy sat in front of a table. On the table was a small holographic device. From within the device, sound waves came out as a hoarse voice sounded in their minds,

"How is the plan going on?" The voice asked,

"It has begun. Also, we found the princess fiddling around here. She has supposedly stuck to him and is on their side. What are the directives?" The girl in the middle asked.

"Hmmm… So it seems that the Queen has played her own cards. Well, it will be fun to watch everything. I would say that you all go on with the discussed strategy and don't reach out to the princess. Let her play her own game and try to intervene only if she is in danger," The voice directed them.

"Yes sir," Said all of them.

Then, turning around; they looked at each other and nodded. Picking up the device, the girl in middle stood up and walked out. Her face had an evil smirk as she harrumphed in arrogance and walked out of the room.

As she left, the two who were left standing looked at each other and nodded. They took out a small device from their pockets and opened it. The Holograms popped open from both of them and two images were created.

"Sir!" Both of them saluted in respect and kept their heads down.

"At ease, what is the status," The person asked. They could see the person standing in front of a huge world map. The man wore a military uniform with five stars shining on them. It stated that the person was of a high level in the army.

"This…" The students started as they narrated the whole story and the plan that had been revealed to them.

"Good... Keep up with it and try to avoid suspicion as much as possible. We don't want our position to be compromised," Said the man.

"Sir, what of the princess and him," They asked. A bit perplexed over the whole situation as they didn't know what was going on with the whole situation. On one hand, there were traitors who weren't giving a chance to humanity while on the other hand, there was the so-called savior who was mingling with the enemy princess.

"Let him be, the upper council trusts him and so does some more," Said the man.

"Okay sir," They saluted again and turned around as the hologram disappeared.

These students were the spies that the human leaders had planted in the traitors. This way, various things had been revealed to the humans and they were able to plan accordingly.
