Versatile System Online

Ray looked at the badge in his hand and observed it, more so for the fifth time. Alas, he couldn't derive anything from the badge.

"You know that this badge isn't some weapon against you and binding it could bring you more benefit than staring at it for so long without finding anything", Aurora spoke.

Ray nodded when he heard what Aurora had to say. He looked around and found that almost everyone had left the training grounds and the remaining were also starting to leave.

Then, he took out a dagger from his inventory and cut his palm,

"Drip.. Drip.. Drip",

Blood started to drip on the badge and after a few drops of blood fell on the badge, the runes on it glowed and formed a complex pattern of runes.

The pattern lit up for a second before a voice sounded in his consciousness,

"Ding!, Binding successful. The artifact has bonded with the system and is connected to the host through the host's consciousness",

"Hmmn",

Ray thought about it and felt that he needed to confirm the purpose of the artifact. After all, for an artifact to bind with a system and for a bond was rare, and that too for it to be done in the Academy.

There were two reasons for it. First, such artifacts were rare, and only highly skilled rune scribes could make them, and such people were very rare, to the extent of them being 1 in 10,000 and still, they were required to be in the Calamity Realm to make such artifacts.

Secondly, they were expensive. Even for the academy the materials required to make them were rare and scarce as such materials were only found in System Online and were not easy to get their hands on.

Ray did not think about the matter of scarcity, price, or anything much. His concern was if there was anything wrong with the artifact or did it tamper with his system or something of that sort.

For this, he asked Aurora,

"Aurora, could you do a scan and see what the purpose of that artifact is",

To which, Aurora replied and said,

"Already did, and found nothing dangerous for you or the system. As for the purpose, it's nothing much. A few tracking spells, a vitality measuring spell, and a few more such spells. The biggest issue would be the sealing spell that has sealed dimensional storage within the premises of the Academy".

"Could you do something about this?", Ray asked with a frown on his face.

"I could, I could even disable all other spells it has and make it seem as if everything is fine. But if I do so for longer periods, it might show anomalies and the higher-ups or the person in charge would know about it", Aurora replied to Ray.

"Hmmn", Ray thought about it for a good five minutes and replied.

"Leave it be, you could always deactivate it when needed. So there is no need to give the dean a headache on the first day".

With that, Ray summoned the map from the badge and a holographic map appeared in front of him.

Seeing his dorm number and building, he started to move towards it.

He didn't need to get on with any tedious things like registrations and all that. That was because the badge in his hand acted as that.

Ray's dormitory was in building number 1. This building was reserved for elite students and there were about 5 more buildings like that for first-years. As for his dorm room, he didn't have one. He had a whole floor which he had to share with 5 more people.

To be more precise, the teammates of his with whom he gave the second test for the elite class.

Ray did not mind it as they had fought a pseudo intermediate tier together and had built a certain level of trust in each other.

However, there are two girls in the group. Ray was rather afraid of how they would manage with living and all. After all, boys could live together but, girls... Ray did not dare comment further on it.

But, all of his worries were unaccounted for as when he entered the floor. He found out that there were 3 separate rooms, a wide living room with enough space to house at least 20 people.

Other than that, there was a large kitchen and also a fairly spacious dining room.

The floor was made of marble while the walls had a good color theme that soothed the mind and gave a rather refreshing feeling.

Ray did not get the chance to see much because as soon as he turned to the living room. He saw a disheveled Sirius snoring loudly on the couch.

Ray was perplexed but did not dare wake the guy up, lest face his wrath.

After all, even though Ray was stronger and had a higher position, he knew. He knew that this guy was nothing less than a beast when woken up in the middle of sleep for no reason.

Ray quietly tiptoed towards the dining room. Only to find a reliable Noah sitting there, silently drinking some orange juice.

"Hey, how are you doing Noah",

Ray tried to start the conversation. A bit hesitant as he was not the best when it came to socializing, but good enough to not be called an introvert.

"Hmm", Noah turned around and gazed at Ray.

"Oh, it's you. Hi Ray, how are you doing I am doing good? Thanks for asking. Would you like some orange juice?",

Noah asked as he greeted Ray.

Ray nodded.

Seeing Ray nod, Noah took another glass from the table and poured in the juice.

Grabbing the glass of juice, Ray took a sip before asking,

"Hey Noah, could you tell me why Sirius is sleeping on the couch and where is everyone else? Also, what is the situation with rooms? After all, two people will be sharing one room",

Listening to Ray's questions Noah sighed and spoke,

"Well, there has been an issue. You know, the girls had actually arrived way before us and each took one room for themselves and even put their belongings in their rooms and after we arrived, they forced us outside and told us to choose who will use the remaining room and who will sleep in the living room",

Listening to all this, Ray was dumbfounded.

These girls were too much, they took a room each for themselves. And how were they going to share the remaining room??, and sleep in the living room??.

Thinking of such non-sensible actions, Ray's anger flared up.

His eyes turned fierce for a second but they returned to normal the other.

Even Noah was, startled for a moment before he thought he might have just imagined Ray spewing fire out of his eyes.

Ray controlled himself and said,

"It's time I lead you all and teach you all discipline. Let's have a chat with the girls and listen to their grievances, shall we?",

As Ray asked Noah, Noah only nodded.

Ray stood up and walked to the occupied rooms with Noah behind him,

Ray suddenly stopped and asked Noah,

"By the way, where is Tim? he must have arrived by now",

To this Noah replied,

"He went to the mall to buy some things for himself. He had told me and Sirius to wait for you so you could resolve the matter",

Listening to this, Ray nodded in satisfaction.

It seemed that the boys of the group were not fools and were pretty considerate. The girls were an issue.

Ray walked towards the rooms and fiercely knocked on the doors of both rooms. He knocked quite loudly and it even woke Sirius up, who woke up with a snarl.

However, no one opened the door.

Therefore, Ray knocked for the second time. This time even louder,

'bham... Bham... Bham',

It was then that a voice was heard from one room,

"Who the hell is knocking on the door so loudly, don't you have manners? Don't you know that it's forbidden to disturb a girl's beauty sleep, you inconsiderate bastard let me teach you a lesso..",

The girl who was shouting and had just opened the door, stopped. Words stuck in her throat. She felt as if someone had choked her throat for God's sake.

However, seeing Ray's face made her stop and she stood at the door shocked.

Seeing Aliya's reaction, Ray turned around and knocked even more fiercely on the second door,

"Whamm.. Whamm.. Wham..",

The door trembled from the force but Ray kept knocking until a voice shouted.

"What the hell is wrong with you? Can't you let me rest in peace",

The door opened and a slightly disoriented Elina came into view, she wore cute bunny trousers and a white top while she also had a pair of matching bunny-themed flip-flops.

On the other hand, Ray just smiled and said,

"Are you sure you want to rest in peace? Well, I could help you attain eternal peace if you want",

Listening to the words and seeing the cruel smile on Ray's face, all of her sleep subsided while Elina cursed inwardly.

Yet, her body stiffened as she felt guilty and looked toward Aliya who was also standing in front of her room looking at her.

They both looked at each other and gulped for what was to come.
