Reincarnated as an Energy with a System-Novel

One by one, the group got off of the ship on the beaches where the water came halfway to their shin. Beyond that, the barrier blocked entry from everyone.

Multiple people immediately summoned abilities to fly, float, or just keep themselves dry.

Some instead embraced the water and let it soak them.

There were also ones like Saphandra who created a pocket around them where the water couldn't enter.

Ning looked around, especially at the students from the Thousand Summons school to see if Taron was around. However, Ning couldn't find him.

He sent Wendy a quick message asking if he didn't get to come at all.

Other than the students, just the headmasters got down.

5 people. 3 men and 2 women. The woman both had long violet hair, not unlike Saphandra's.

The one from the Crimson Wolf school had her hair in a bun, while the one from the Infinite Beasts school had her hair braided down her front.

The headmaster of the Divine Fangs school was bald for the most part, but the sides of his head did have violet hair in addition to gray hair.

The headmaster from the Thousand Summons school on the other hand had long flowing hair, almost showing off to the other headmasters.

They came together, and before they even talked to each other, lights flashed beneath their feet and they looked around, searching for any potential hidden human amidst the group of 125.

Only after finding out that there wasn't anyone other than the necessary amount did they finally stop and started talking to each other.

Ning watched them greet each other by their name and start talking. The First Bond headmaster cast some sort of skill to subdue their sound so no one could listen to their conversation at all.

Ning wanted to listen to them when another ship appeared in the distance. The crowd turned curiously and looked at the ship that approached them.

The 5 headmasters immediately flew away to meet the ship.

This time, Ning was going to listen to the conversation. "System, pass along what is being talked over there."

<Understood.>

The 5 of them arrived on the ship itself and the woman with the braided hair spoke out loud.

"Whose ship is this?"

A man appeared out of the cabin with a head full of gray hair. "Greetings headmasters," the old man said. He recognized the headmasters as they were very well known.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?" the man with the head full of hair said.

"I… I am the headmaster of Five Gorge Academy. I have a disciple with me that is very talented, and I was hoping he would get to enter the island. It's just 1 student, can you… um, help him get in?" the old man asked.

"Do you think we have a charity going on here old man?" the First Bond school's headmaster spoke. "Return immediately. You are not allowed here."

"Bu—but sir, I came from the Vevar Kingdom. Surely you can manage to give me just one spot right? I hear 125 people can go in this time around. If my disciple can go in, I will forever be in your gratitude," the old man fell to his knees.

"This bastard! Return at once or I will destroy your boat," the bald headmaster said.

"Teacher!" a young man that was barely 15 ran out of the cabin. He had flowing green hair and held a long staff in his hand.

"Get away from my teacher!" he shouted.

The woman with the bun snapped her fingers and the ship suddenly started flying upwards.

The young man slipped and fell on the deck, but the ship kept flying until it hovered about 5 meters high. Then, the boat dropped.

The two men on the deck flew in the air for a split second before gravity pulled them back onto the ground and then slammed on the deck.

"Argh!" the two of them cried out in pain. The old man might even have had one of his bones broken.

Anger flared in Ning and he was about to go help when suddenly a deep sound came from behind him.

The barrier was opening.

A gap appeared in the barrier where the fog moved away. However, there were 125 different motes of light on top.

When the students realized that the gate was open, they started pushing in, trying to be first as if that mattered.

As they went in, the numbers of light died down quickly.

Saphandra called for Ning, but Ning didn't move. Instead, he wanted to go help. But, seeing as the barrier was open now, once he went in, the old man and his disciple would most likely return.

"Sigh, let's go in," he said. He, Saphandra, and Trevain were the last ones to enter.

The headmasters returned to their boat quickly and watched the students walk in.

Trevain was the third from the last to walk in when there were only 3 lights remaining.

After he was in, it dropped down to 2. After him, Saphandra walked in.

Ning watched the 2 lights flicker to 6.

"Six?" he looked confused.

"What?" The headmasters and teachers were confused as well.

How could there be 5 more spots when there were only 25 spirits in the island? It wasn't like there was suddenly another spirit that formed inside the island right? It couldn't be that coincidental.

His eyes then fell on Saphandra. "Little blue?" he thought. 'That counted?'

The headmasters were already scrambling to find people to enter. Each one of them would choose one of course, but Ning didn't want to let them do that.

He didn't feel they deserved it. So he instantly thought of something and teleported away.

He went to 5 different locations around Nulwurn in a matter of seconds and arrived back on the beach.

The headmasters saw 5 new people on the beach, none of which were ones they approved of, and immediately got angry.
