BXBX NOVEL Chapter 64: System
Anthony looked at these two as he was sure they just wanted to eat free food as the real tasty food in the Academy was extremely expensive and cost points and they weren't willing to waste it on food.
"Fine, I would buy you food at the cafeteria tomorrow then, after class or whatever" Anthony said as he sighed in defeat.
"Great then, enjoy your training, even if you said you were gonna sleep, I won't believe you" Rider said as left with his brother.
Anthony just locked his door and went back to his living room.
He smiled, then created a barrier made of void itself which surrounded the room.
He snapped his finger as space bent in another direction.
Spectre and the rest were busy enjoying their new room when suddenly a portal opened directly underneath their feet and moved them in with speed greater than their reaction time.
They all fell in before they could react.
Ten portals opened up above Anthony as ten bodies dropped immediately to the ground with their aura, mana, elements flaring as if they ready for war.
"It seems you all are having some fun, to the extent you even dropped your guards and fell into a portal" Anthony said smiling as every aura, mana and elemental was simply snuffed out under his ridiculous control and the ten of them turned to empty husk.
But they didn't even react as they lost control of their element because they heard Anthony's voice.
"Boss" the ten of them said at the same time.
"Boss aren't we meant not be seen together for a while, what if the principal finds us here" Spectre asked.
"Well, he won't find you all even if he tried" Anthony said with confidence.
"Well that's by the way, if you all have just been dropped into a portal by an unknown enemy you would all be dead, you are lucky it's me, don't drop your guards like that even if you are with the strongest man in the world" Anthony said again.
"Yes boss" they all responded
"This boss thing sounded good at first, now it sounds like I am a boss in a cooperate company or something, so we would change back to Sir or whatever till I find a new name" Anthony said as he was fell in thought.
Anthony's eyes instantly fell on Mike, who immediately felt it was a death glare.
"Why are you fidgeting like I would kill you or something, someone was bound to be outside the top ten, so no need to worry" Anthony said with a smile.
"Yes sir" replied Mike
"You all may get off the floor now" Anthony said as they all got up and sat on the couches.
"Well, I would have love to congratulate all of you on being in top ten...well not all of you, but there is nothing to congratulate since all of you are basically stronger than everyone in the year already" Anthony said.
"Although I didn't say there would be a price, I would give you one" Anthony said.
Mike frowned at this, he may not receive the price and this made his heart ache.
"No need to feel down, you would get the same price as everyone, no need to blame yourself" Anthony said.
Mark heaved a sigh of relief as he just dodged a major bullet here, he didn't know what the gift was, but others might use it to climb the ranks faster than him, he couldn't take such risk at all.
'OP System activate the subordinate system' Anthony said in his mind.
[Ding Host has activated subordinate system]
[System is generating subordinate system]
[Subordinate system generated]
[Searching for Host subordinate]
[Host subordinate found]
[Subordinate system is binding with subordinate souls]
Immediately the notification stopped for Anthony, it began for the rest of them.
[Ding... Host has been successfully found]
[Subordinate system is binding to the host soul]
[Binding in progress]
[15%...46%.....78%...93%...100%]
[System binding complete]
[Generating host interface]
[Transferring details about the system directly to the host mind]
The ten of them stared into space as a luminescence screen in a rectangular shape appeared Infront of ten of them.
They saw writings floating Infront of them continuously, then they suddenly entered a daze as a bunch of information about the rectangular screen flooded their minds.
After a while, they came out from their daze with an excited face, their eyes glowed with intensity of the what they could do with this gift was simply too much.
'Status' they all thought at the same time.
[Name: SPECTRE]
[Age: 15 years old]
[Race: Human]
[Rank SS-]
[Class: Anomaly]
[Physiques: Lightning Battle Katana physique]
[Bloodline: None]
[Talent: Limitless]
[Skills: click to view]
[Affinities: Lightning]
[Technique: Spectre Katana Series]
[Shop: A shop that sells everything the host needs no matter how small or ridiculous it is]
[Subordinate points: Subordinate points are used to buy things from the system shop]
[Subordinate points are gained through killing of anything that has life]
[Inventory: Allows the host to store unlimited amount of non-living things in an infinite storage space]
The shop was basically Anthony's infinite resource system, but for them they had to buy it with points, while Anthony's own is free.
This was another system Anthony wished for when he was making his wishes.
This would allow his subordinate to grow faster and quicker.
He didn't need to provide anyone with resources as they would have to work for it by themselves, and improve by themselves.
As all ten of them scrolled through the system and looked at their skills and everything, a change occured.
[Ding..... Detected that someone is trying to gather information on the host through physical means]
[Skill: The perfect one is activated]
[How does host wish to proceed]
They all looked at Anthony on what they should do.
"No need to change anything, it seems they are gathering information about the one month you spent during the break, everything is in the place, just ignore it" Anthony said.
Anthony already saw something like this coming, which was why he created clones of each of them, when they were in the divine realm, so they won't have to change anything.
"Yes sir" they replied as they opened their shops and started going through it.
Thirty minutes later another notification appeared before them.
[Ding..... Detected that someone is trying to gather information on the host through magical means]
[How does host wish to proceed]
'It seems the Academy indeed has a seer or someone who can look into people's past' Anthony thought
"They are trying to gather information on what happened during the one to two weeks disappearances, I already gave you information on what to fill in" Anthony said
The ten of them nodded and were amazed how Anthony could see and plan this far.
They immediately followed up and faked their information instantly.
"Sir what does Anomaly mean" Mike asked
Anthony replied with a smile
"It simply means, you are no longer bound by fate or destiny or karma and things of that sort, initially you people's class were supposed to be mage or swordsman and the rest, but that has changed as you came under me"
"Meaning, destiny can't control you, fate can't control you, nothing can control you, you also have no predestined future or whatever, anything that happens in the future is as a result of you causing or achieving it with your own hands, not because fate and destiny said so"
"Just like how you all were talentless, that was destiny's plan for you all, awaken a normal class, live a simply life and all that"
"So from now on, even if you die, that means you caused it, not because fate says your path has come to an end"
Anthony's class already changed to Anomaly when he broke through to the Master rank, so he knew about it.
The seer bled and vomited blood because of this reason, because they were no longer under fate's or destiny's control, so he simply suffered a backlash from staring into something he wasn't supposed to see.
They all had a blank future, whatever happens then and there would be a result of their own choices.
Initially, Anthony wanted to add the Mission column to the subordinate system, then he gave up on it for no particular reason.
"So what do you think about the system" he asked them.
"To think such heaven defying things exist" Vivian commented, as she looked through the shop and saw the resources she could buy.
They all had various comments about the system and everything.
"With the system, your progress depends on you, so if you fall behind, it simply means you have become lazy" Anthony said.
"You can even buy your own secret realm like my own and train faster in there, but am sure the outrageous cost will make you pale" Anthony said with a smirk.
