Versatile System Online - 292 Back Home (Part 1)

Right as Ray pressed the button, the teleporters got lined up as energy started to flow within them. Ray looked at the teleporters and sighed, “We gotta hurry,” he thought to himself and then turned to Sirius.”,

“Line up everyone, we need to hurry before things go wrong,” he didn’t explain and Sirius didn’t ask much either. He just nodded and then disappeared into shadows.

As he did, Ray looked at the teleported and said in a low voice, “Don’t worry mum. I am coming home. Just a few more minutes and i will be meeting you,”

Meanwhile,

The shadows swirled as the common area of the portal room was engulfed in them. Sirius appeared in the middle of the room as he saw the head nurse and the others lining up the students and telling them to be ready of moving on at any second.

Sirius walked forward as he stood besides the head nurse and whispered in her ear, “Ray has an urgent message,”

“What is it,” she asked back seriously.

“He asks us to hurry. There seems to be an issue and if we delay something big might happen,” Sirius told her and then added, “You go and ask the whole thing from Ray, i will see the things over here,”

“Un,” the head nurse nodded as she stepped froward and disappeared.

Right after she disappeared, Ray’s whole team gathered around Sirius as Elina asked, “What happened?”

“The portals are activated but we all gotta hurry,” Sirius said as he repeated the whole story once again.

“Okay, then lets hurry up,” Elina replied as she crossed her hands and then muttered some jumbled up words in a low voice. As she did, a blackish fog appeared over her shoulder as it took form of a cat. She looked over her shoulder and nodded. Right as she did, the cat meowed as threads appeared everywhere and they spread over the portal room, “Okay everyone. Hurry up and line up along with these threads,” Addressed Elina as she also used the threads to lift herself high in the air and overlooked everything.

“Sighhh… i think you all forgot me,” A low dispirited voice was heard as a slightly lanky student walked forward. His hands were covered in strange equipment while there were heavy dark circles under his eyes that clearly indicated the lack of sleep for the student, “Guess i will continue to work on the things Ray gave me,” the student said to himself and walked into a corner. As he did, not a single soul disturbed him as everyone knew that if they even touched him, they would be in bing trouble as not only was the student someone strong but also more influential and favored than them all.

After all, he was Noah and even if he had been out of battle for some time, it didn’t mean that he was weak or had fallen behind. In truth, Noah had finally found a direction and was very happy in working towards it.

As Noah sat down, the whole team looked at him and sighed. They knew that Noah was finally content with using his abilities and was making better progress in it than he ever was but the effect it was having on his physical state was worrying them all. However, they all stayed silent and let Noah do what he wanted. They would have Ray talk to him later on.

While everyone worked hard to get everyone moving towards the portals as fast as they could, Ray and The Head Nurse looked at the timer in front of them. With each second that passed by, they knew that it was another problem knocking up at their doorstep.

“Well, we fight all of those who appear,” Answered Ray with a grim smile. He really wanted to avoid anymore fights or bloodshed as that would not only hinder his plans but also bring him unnecessary troubles.

“How much strength could you output without damaging the forcefield,” Asked Ray as he tried to plan on something to avoid as much bloodshed as possible from his side.

“If what you are saying is true and the situation really is like that, then i can output all of my power,” the head nurse answered confidently.

“How so? Weren’t your powers suppressed by the forcefield?” Ray asked in intrigue.ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

“They were but now you are saying that the force field will weaken and the spatial barrier will be destroyed completely. So i can easily push through my full strength,” answered the head nurse as she looked down the timer. Only to notice that two minutes had passed and only three minutes were left before things started to go down.

“Guess, we try to hurry up,” Ray said out loud as he turned around and looked back at the caravan all lined up and ready to go through the portal the first thing. Seeing this, he looked down at the module and inputted the destination coordinates to confirm the destination and then connected the portals to the ones at his mansion and let them form a spatial bridge.

While the spatial bridge was being formed, Ray took out his badge and broke it in half.

“Crackkk..” as the crack sounded in the silence, Ray let the broken pieces fall to the ground as he took out a small reddish ball that was fitted inside it.

Looking at the ball, he inputted his mana into it and then crushed the ball.

Right as he did, another change occurred. However, the change didn’t occur in the portal room but miles away, in his mansion.

Apparently, Ray built a specialized room with a dedicated spatial bridge that could teleport hundreds of people at a time while the distance it covered was enough to cover the whole world.

Inside Ray’s mansion, the whole room suddenly lit up as the module at the corner of started beeping. The incoming signal was from Ray and someone needed to give access from the mansion.

Ray’s mother, who was in the kitchen turned around. The capsule that Ray had crushed was a hypersonic wave emitter while the receiver was his mother’s system. Therefore, when he crushed the capsule, his mother was identified and understood the whole situation as both of them had planned of it before hand.

Leaving everything she was doing, she headed for the room straight away. Walking there, she had an excited smile on her face. The signal only meant one thing and it was that her son was coming back. So how could she not be happy?

“Where are you headed to? As she walked out of the kitchen, Elina’s mother: who was just walking towards the kitchen to help her out asked. She noticed the unusual happiness on her face and asked, “Is Ray heading back? Are my babies also coming back?” As she asked, her eyes also gleamed excitedly as she had also missed her children dearly.

“Well, I don’t know much but the portals were activated. So i am sure he is heading back. If not, we will have to prepare to fight because it will be an invasion,” Ray’s mother answered calmly as she took all the possibilities into consideration and then kept on walking towards the portal room as Elina’s mother also joined in. While they walked, they accessed the spatial pouches they had on them and took out their respective weapons in case of any emergency.

Elina’s mother had control over the wind element and her weapon of choice was an oddly designed circular disk. The disk was hollow from between and was very compatible with the wind element. As for Ray’s mom, she brought out a scepter that had a blueish gem embedded in it. The gem boosted not only her mana but also increased her concentration by two fold. The scepter itself was a great weapon and with the gem embedded in it, the scepter was almost as good as a Pseudo-Calamity weapon.

Walking into the room, Ray’s mother noticed the incoming signal as she walked to the module and noticed that the signal was from the academy. Seeing that the signal was from the academy, Ray’s mother was a bit more assured that the incoming spatial bridge was initiated by Ray.

She put her guard down and sighed as she accepted the incoming signal. As she did, the module turned green and the portals all around the room were activated. He huge spatial bridge was activated as well as the runes around it lit up.

After that, Ray’s mother just looked at the huge spatial bridge and spoke out loud, “Let’s see what it does now,”

Within the Academy, Ray looked at the notification in front of him,

[Request accepted, Spatial bridge formed. Please step through to reach the destination],

A smile spread over his face as Ray turned round and signaled the head nurse to let everyone move. Before she did though, Ray asked her to let Tim go first. Because Tim was someone familiar to the people at the mansion, it would let them have an idea of the whole situation. As for why Ray didn’t go himself, they needed him here to operate the module and overlook everything while although Elina was an option, the help she was providing with her threads was needed the most.

“Okay Tim, jump into it,” Ray said to him with a smile as Tim nodded seriously and walked into the portal.
