Chapter 170 Informing The World Leaders Of The Situation
"Good work kid," the dean said. Congratulating Ray, the dean hid his melancholy with a slight smile. However, Ray wasn\'t a fool. He understood that something was wrong, but he didn\'t point it out right away. He let it pass for the moment and thought of prying into it later on.
With that, the dean patted his back as both of them descended and flew straight to the dean,s office. After all, a big commotion had been caused and the dean understood that it wasn\'t yet the time for Ray to publicize his true powers. After all, who knew what type of people might get a wind of the news and might try to hurt Ray in one way or the other?
Also, Ray had previously shaken his head and signaled to the dean that he didn\'t want his true powers to be known by the students at the academy.
Reaching his office, the dean pressed a button on his table. Right after he did, a holograph opened up on the table as multiple empty windows were displayed.
"This is a communication program that top leaders of the world use. We use this to hold urgent meetings and only a select few have the right to call for the meetings," the dean said. A slight smugness on his face as if telling Ray to praise him.
Ray understood the assignment perfectly as he spoke,
"And you are one of the select few who has the right to call the meetings?" He asked.
"Yes! You guessed it right and that is exactly what I will be doing right now," the dean smiled in joy. His smile stretched to his eyes and his face gleamed with happiness, the dean then turned around as he started setting up the meeting.
Calling the meeting wasn\'t easy. It required a certain arrangement as all the people attending were people with important positions. Hence, to protect their information and the meeting from being traced, hacked, or bugged. The dean had to set up a certain frequency at which the meeting was held.
"Narcissist old man!" Aurora spoke in spite.
"Okay, Aurora. He isn\'t a bad man, so please don\'t take it out against him," Ray said as he calmed his system.
"Just look at the way he boasts about himself. I hate such people," Aurora countered.
"But he is the dean. He is our benefactor and also our guide, mentor, and savior. So for all this, let\'s just ignore this habit of his," Ray said. His words finally reached Aurora\'s mind as she understood the situation and let go of the topic.
Remembering something, Ray raised an eyebrow as he inquired,
"By the way, would you care to tell me where you were all this time?"
"Uhm… Well…." Listening to his question, Aurora strutted as she cursed in her mind,
"Fuck! now, what should I say?" She thought.
"Hey! Don\'t stutter and don\'t you dare try to change the topic. Do you know how much I suffered when you were away? I could have had an easier time. Heck! I could have died or stayed in a coma if not for that strange greenish energy covering me increasing my regeneration speed by countless times," Ray ranted on. Showing his displeasure, he wanted Aurora to understand how disappointed he was in her. After all, she was his system, and for her to ditch him when she was needed the most. Ray absolutely hated hit and right now, if she didn\'t come clear; Ray had decided to teach her a good lesson in her language.
"Okay kid, it\'s ready. Now we wait for the rest of them to arrive so we could have a detailed analysis of the situation, starting from the dungeon, the boss and the aftereffects caused by the dissolution of the dungeon and at last, about what happened just now," saving Aurora and buying her time to come up with something, the dean interrupted as he spoke.
Right after the dean spoke, the door opened as the head nurse, Amanda, and Old Man Abraham walked into the office, followed by Sirius, Emma, and the rest of the team.
Seeing them enter the office, the dean nodded to Amanda and Old Man Abraham as both of his comrades walked forward and stood besides him. The others then stood at the side as they waited for the dean\'s orders.
"Don\'t be so formal. Be at ease and take a seat, it might take some while. Though, if you want to continue standing and tire your legs out then I don\'t mind," the dean said as he waved his hand and the layout of his office changed. In front of his desk, appeared a whole sofa set big enough to accommodate ten people.
Nodding, Sirius walked and took a seat as the others followed after him, "Who asked you to sit?" The dean\'s voice sounded as the dean continued, "I think you should continue to stand and reflect on everything. I will personally talk to you. So until then, silently stand in the corner," the dean pointed at the head nurse as he spoke.
Turning around, Aliya smirked as she taunted the head nurse. Being taunted by Aliya, the head nurse fumed but she held it in. She knew that it wasn\'t the time for her to act out of her place as she was on the loose and also that she knew how dean was. The dean would not look for who did what and would instead take it out on her. Therefore, she did as she was asked and moved to a corner, and stood there silently as if she never existed.
"Now, let me explain," the dean said and explained the whole situation to everyone.
"So we\'re the witnesses?" Emma raised an eyebrow, her expression turning sour as she didn\'t like how the dean had used them to explain everything and saved himself from doing so.
"Emma calm down. Just bear with it for now," Ray sent a telepathic transmission to her.
Heeding Ray\'s orders, Emma merely nodded and adopted a stoic face; deciding to stay silent throughout.
"Okay, I will call the meeting. I want everyone to act accordingly. I don\'t want those high-nosed bastards to call my students\' uneducated brutes," the dean said and turned. Tapping his fingers in the air, he operated the hologram as the meeting was initiated.
Soon, world leaders and people from influential backgrounds started to join, varying from the supreme generals belonging to armies around the world to successful businessmen whose families had a say in the economic situations of the world.
"What happened Prometheus? It isn\'t like you to call an emergency meeting," an old man spoke, looking at his video through the holograph; Ray recognized the old man instantly, "The commander general of the US Army," Ray thought, unintentionally straightening his back, the man\'s pressure was as such that Ray felt the frightening presence through the holograph.
All of sudden, the commander-general glanced at Ray, who stood behind the dean and nodded slightly. Though, the nod wasn\'t perceptible to the others. Ray and the dean surely knew what the commander-general did.
"Why is he nodding at me?" Ray asked himself, "no, it can\'t be. I must be dreaming," Ray thought as he pushed the thought to the back of his head and observed other people who had joined.
While Ray observed the others that had joined, the conversation between the dean and the commander-general continued as the dean replied to the man\'s previous question.
"The situation is as such. Within the previous meeting, it was I who told everyone that we had a month in our hands before the merge but from the events that happened in the past couple of days. I am afraid that the situation has changed,"
"What has changed? Elaborate," Russia\'s president asked while the others nodded.
"The whole situation has changed and from what I estimate, we don\'t have a month but barely a week to prepare for the merge," the dean said.
As the dean said this, a lot of faces turned sour as the officials had panic written over their faces. Amongst all the officials, the Russians were the loudest. Before their president could say anything else, US\'s commander general stepped in and said,
"I am sure Prometheus here will explain everything. After all, he is one of the most powerful people on our side and we can\'t just go on questioning him brazenly without knowing the whole situation," with the commander general\'s words, everyone calmed down.
The Russian president merely harrumphed in annoyance while the dean started explaining everything. Though, he altered some info to make the academy look better and also to avoid some of the blame that might come on him. After all, it was his mistake that the dungeon boss went out of control and dissolved the dungeon to gain power.
However, he didn\'t falsify anything about the celestial dark elf he fought against as that was crucial information because it was the dark elf and the interference from the otherworld which had caused all the chaos. Also, it was the fight against the elf that sped up the merge because the dean had to use his real powers and fight at his full strength during that fight.
Hence, the dean explained his version of the story while Ray and the rest listened to his story and altered theirs accordingly.
