Versatile System Online

Chapter 115 Earth's Traitors

'Knock… knock…'

"Welcome Aella, how are you doing," Emma said as she opened the door and let Aella in.

On the other hand, Ray stood at the back and observed Aella as she walked in and chatted with Emma.

Looking at Aella, Ray was stunned at first as he saw how beautiful she was. She was around 6 ft tall with an hourglass figure to complement it as such that even the loose T-shirt she wore couldn't hide her curves. Her blueish black hair fell down to her waist and her eyes were of hazel blue color that mesmerized one to keep looking into them. She had slightly tanned skin which glistened in the light.

"Hi" Ray greeted her as he snapped out of his daze and then began to ask for the matter that they called her for while he calmed his wildly beating heart.

"So, Aella. If it's right with you, I need to ask what is your ability or what type of affinity do you have,"

"Well, I am a ranged fighter as I have a sensory-based System that increases my perception and allows me to pinpoint my target and attack it while considering all the external forces. Hence, getting the best result with the most damage output," Aella answered.

"If you have such a good ability then why didn't you get into the elite class," Ray asked her, perplexed over how someone with such a good and useful ability didn't get into the Elite class.

"Uhm… basically, I got into the elite class but I withdrew from it," Aella said, embarrassed as she spoke of the topic.

"Why did you withdraw from your position, did someone threaten you or something like that?" Ray asked in shock.

"No, I did it out of my own will," She answered as she lowered her head in embarrassment and continued, "At that time, I was in need of money and someone offered me a lot of money for withdrawing from my position. Therefore, I withdrew from the elite class and got my admission into the normal class," She said on the verge of tears.

Meanwhile, Ray was in shock when he heard all of it and realized how lucky he had been. This caused a strange feeling to erupt in his heart, a feeling of guilt that made him feel responsible for all the wrong.

However, Ray knew that it was just him feeling bad for the others as he got successful and didn't have to face as many problems as others.

"Don't worry, you did what was right for you. Also, you can get into the elite class if you do good in the upcoming test. That's also why we called you here. I want you to be a member of my team in the upcoming test," Ray consoled her and told her why she was called as he continued,

"You see, the test is going to be important for all of us, and doing good in the test would get us good resources for our future progression,"

"I have some questions to ask," Aella said shyly and asked, "Is sister Emma going to be a part of your team? Also, I won't be on your team if others are mean to me,"

"Haha, don't worry. Emma is a part of our team and the others are also very cooperative, I can assure you of that. If not, I will do as you say," Ray laughed as he spoke with a smile on his face and continued to tell her about their strategy and how they were going to conquer the dungeon.

Meanwhile,

Aurora observed Ray's behavior with a frown as she found him to be very cooperative and cheerful from the moment he met Aella.

"I guess someone has grown a lot," she mused as she thought back to Ray being dense and stoic while here he was, having a fun time chatting happily with a girl.

Meanwhile,

On another Dormitory floor,

A serious meeting was being held as ten students sat around a table and discussed their strategy for the test,

"We need to get the first position at any cost," Nia spoke as she used her ability to make a life-size holographic map of the whole dungeon.

Zooming into a specific point in the dungeon, she spoke,

"This is the first checkpoint of the dungeon. This is where we will be ambushed by a group of goblins with a hobgoblin as their leader. Not only that, there are seven more points just like this one with each point being harder to clear than before,"

"What about the other teams? Will they clear the dungeon with us at the same time?" A member asked,

"No, every team will clear the dungeon of their own accord"

"Also, how will we be ranked," Another member asked,

"We will be ranked on three factors. One, based on the total number of goblins eliminated. Two, the time taken to clear the dungeon, and three, the number of resources collected from the dungeon," Nia explained as she continued,

"Also, according to the information I have, my powers are most suitable against those goblins as most of them are weak against light-based attacks. Therefore, I will be taking the assault,"

With that, Nia explained the whole formation to everyone as she kept her team well-balanced with two tanks, two long-ranged attackers, two healers, three people with assault-based abilities including her, and finally, one person with a sensory ability.

Unbeknownst to Nia, her whole plan was being broadcasted to Ron who observed her plan and used her tactics to perfect his plan.

"You know what to do," Ron said into the microphone, his voice hoarse and dull as he ordered his subordinate to thwart Nia's plans.

Turning to his team, Ron looked at them and spoke,

"We are all here for domination over this planet and for that, we need to blend in and slowly weaken them from within. Right now, our objective is to take the first place in this useless test and get insider news of humanity's plan and also build our trust so we could backstab them at their lowest," Ron said in fervor as he lifted the spirits of those that sat along with him.

'Hwahh… Hwahh'

Everyone shouted as their bodies differed from one another. Some had horns on their head while the others had strange pupils. Not only that but there was also someone who had antennae coming out of his head while having no eyes or mouth.

All these people were extraterrestrial life forms that had invaded the world through different means and slowly blended into human society without getting caught.

These were the people to whom Ron and the likes of him had sold their planet. Just so they could have some power and be safe when the world meets hell.

As the plans were being made, Ray also got Aella to join the team.

"Training starts from tomorrow, don't forget to be on time," Ray told her with a smile on his face as he waved her goodbye.

After that, he left Emma's place and walked back to the dormitory in thought,

"Aurora, do you think that we should get someone good at placing traps and formations?" Ray asked as he thought about selecting someone with a different type of system.

"That would be a good idea, but I say you havesuch a person already," Aurora spoke as she continued, "Elina can place traps using her curses while Noah can use small-scale spirit formations,"

"Then what should I do? I need one more person to complete the team but I don't want to choose anyone. I want someone who could make the team even better," Ray spoke in panic as the tension of finding a suitable person got to his head.

"Okay, Relax. There is no need to panic, you will find the last person. Just think about it with a calm mind and don't rush it. I am sure you will find someone", Aurora said as her soothing voice and the light breeze eased him a bit.

"Yeah, you are right. I don't know why but I feel stressed a lot. I guess it's just the whole turn of events lately that have me so much stressed," Ray said as he took deep breaths of air to calm his mind and body.

"Yeah, you should not take too much stress and also, take your team's opinion over who the last person should be. It's not your job to do everything," Aurora said as she sighed in relief and thought to herself,

"Thank god he calmed down. Ray, you don't have the slightest idea of the restlessness inside you," She thought in worry as she observed Ray's bloodline energy as it calmed down along with him, and then she suppressed it so it would not go out of control due to Ray's turbulent emotions and cause some fort of catastrophe by taking control over him.
