Versatile System Online

Seeing the new student coming towards him, Ray glanced at her. Taking a closer look at her, Ray found her to be quite good-looking. The way her brown hair waved in the air while her whole body moved in elegance.

As he stared at her for a bit too long, he felt stares coming at himself from behind. Turning around, he saw Elina gazing at him like a hound.

"I will let Aella know," She spoke through the mind transference technique.

"I just looked at the new classmate. She will be sitting with me, what could I do?" He answered back in disbelief.

However, Elina didn't hear a word he said and turned to look the outer way as she ignored him. A bit pissed off, Ray put his head down and looked at Sirius as he thought,

"At least he doesn't care about such things," He thought and glanced besides him as the princess had already seared by now.

As he had kept his head down with his forehead touching the desk, when he glanced, the first thing that came into his view was the princess's bountiful chest that wobbled every time she made a small movement.

"They must be squishy," He thought in his mind as the scene of the two melons wobbling around surfaced in his mind.

Noticing his gaze, the princess looked down at him and asked, "Any issues?"

"Huh? No…nothing," Ray stammered, a bit embarrassed as he was caught staring at the princess's prized possessions.

However, he quickly regained his calm and introduced himself, "Hello, nice to meet you. My name is Ray Xanders. What about you?" He spoke as he pushed his hand forward for a handshake.

"Hello Ray, I am Kashish. Also, nice to meet you," the princess shook his hand back as she introduced herself once more.

With a smile on her face, she leaned in closer and asked, "Uhm… As you know. I am new to the Academy, therefore I would be in your care if you don't mind," She told him, her voice filled with some nervousness while her face was flushed from embarrassment.

"Sure, no worries," Ray replied with a smile. Though being closer to the princess, he could see a lot of skin, and coupled with the frustration of the apocalypse and the ongoing events, he could clearly feel a certain part of his body rising.

"No…" He thought to himself and shook his head as he looked away. Controlling himself, he turned to the homeroom teacher and continued to listen to the lecture. Though, in his mind; the hostility he had against the princess had reduced to some extent, he was still a bit wary of her.

"Tringg…" The bell sounded as the unit ended. Seeing the class end, Ray turned to the princess and asked,

"Hey Kashish, want to have lunch together? I will guide you to the cafeteria and also introduce you to our team and group of friends,"

"I will be delighted to," Kashish answered back as she gracefully stood up from her seat along with Ray.

"Let's go," He spoke as he also stood up. While he did, he signaled Sirius and the others as he also sent a mental transmission to them, "Reach the cafeteria. I will be there shortly. Also, gather everyone else, it will start any moment now. Therefore, be alert of your surroundings as anything could happen," He told them as he and the princess walked out of the class.

"Hmph… what they say is right. All men are the same, I will tell Aella before anything else. I will let her fix him," Elina harrumphed as she thought to herself. Right now, she felt very angry after seeing Ray get along so well with the new girl. Also, she cared for her friend and didn't want her to be betrayed.

Noah and Tim, on the other hand, glanced a each other and smiled meaningfully. Misunderstanding their leader's intentions, they still gave him a thumbs up in their heart. Though they also prayed for him as they knew that Elina wasn't going to let him go easily and would surely inform Aella about it.

​ As for Sirius, he just nodded and made his way to the cafeteria while Elina rushed out in a hurry. After all, she wanted to inform Aella as fast as she could.

Meanwhile,

In the narrow corridors of the Academy, Ray and Kashish made their way to the cafeteria while Ray also stopped and told her about the different lecture halls, classes, labs, and training rooms present in the academy.

"So this is where our second class of the day would be held. The instructor for the class is Mr.Abraham and he teaches us fighting techniques," Ray said to her. As he looked at the princess, he noticed that she continued to look at him.

"You all right?" He asked as he found her staring at him a bit strange.

"Uhm…Nothing," She stammered in embarrassment as her face flushed red.

Looking at her beet red from embarrassment, Ray felt the roles being reversed. In honesty, Ray was pretty perplexed as since the moment he shook hands with the princess, he felt as if he had known her for a long time and that she had been with him at some point in life.

Finding it strange, he turned to FengFeng for help as in his mind, only the one with control over time could guide him correctly, "FengFeng, I feel to have met her before but I don't know when. Also, I feel as if I have been with her for a long time. As if some connection that even I am not certain of," Ray asked, "Could you please help me out and clear these worries out for me,"

"Sorry, Ray. Although I can't help you much, just know that the connection you feel might be something that could have existed through space and time. Something influenced either by the past or the future. Therefore, it's normal," The temporal Phoenix answered.

Hearing her answer, Ray nodded as he put the matter at the back of his mind.

On the other hand, Kashish also felt the same. She felt a strange connection with Ray. Something that she couldn't point her finger at and if she had to be honest, she found the man besides her quite attractive.

Not to mention the strong waves of strength coming from him, she was even more impressed. Slowly, she got closer to him and by the time they both reached the cafeteria, they were shoulder to shoulder with each other as they laughed around like old friends.

Reaching the cafeteria, Ray found his whole team sitting on a bench in the corner. As he approached everyone with her, he found the whole team to be under the weather. The atmosphere around the bench felt a bit gloomy while Aella sat on her chair with a knife in her hand while a great fire blazed through her eyes.

Besides Aella, sat Elina with an equally conceptual look on her face as she stared daggers at Ray. Seeing them both, Ray understood the matter as he sighed and thought,

"Just how can I make her understand that we are just friends? Also, does she take me as a fool to try and woo a girl I just met a few hours ago? Just what does she take me for?" He thought to himself and glanced at Elina.

Thinking about all this, he grabbed the seat and sat on the chair. As he did, Mag'ladroth's alarming voice sounded in his head,

"Ray get the f*ck out of there. Something's headed this way," the Void Dragon warned.

Heeding the Void Dragon's warning, Ray hurriedly stood up as he kicked the table, and jumped in the air.

"Everyone get out of here," He shouted at the top of his lungs and told all of them to move aside.

Seeing him act as such, everyone was confused as they took him for a lunatic. However, others also moved as his teammates jumped away from their seats.

Even Aella and Elina followed his orders as after all, he was still their leader, and even if they were dissatisfied with him, they had to heed his orders.

While in the air, Ray pumped the Void Energy to his left eye as he observed the space around him. As he did, he saw the whole space breaking as various lines formed in the space and expanded into invisible spatial cracks.

"it has started," He thought as he turned to the others and sent a mental transmission, "Get everyone out of here. We don't have more than a minute before hell breaks loose," he instructed them as he himself blinked and retreated even more.

Standing in an open area in the cafeteria, he saw everyone looking at him as if he was a fool. Seeing their reaction, he sighed and decided to take action.

"Really sorry but it is what it is," He thought as his hands blazed with flames.

"Get out of here. Goddammit!!" He shouted at the top of his lungs and incinerated the cafeteria.

As he did, the students finally started moving as they cleared out of the cafeteria in fear of the maniac who tried to cause trouble in the academy.

As the students escaped, Ray looked in the cafeteria as the first spatial crack finally appeared while outside the Academy, the skies changed and took a strange color while the winds blew up.

"It has started," He took a deep breath and muttered.
