Inside a huge city also known as Academy For System Users, countless preparations were being made. The academy that had the grandeur of a castle was bustling with people of all ages, races, and ethnicities. However, most of the general populace was young teenagers about 16 years old. After all, most of the people were here to take the test so that they could have a chance to enter the world's most elite academy set up for system users. It was also known as a hub for system users and acted as a backbone for whole humanity as it nurtured not only the future generation of elites but also had many elites stationed here for the protection of the academy and many top echelons of the military were also here so that they could mobilize at moments notice as the academy was also the headquarters of the military.
Right now, the academy was quite festive as a lot of people had been coming here for various reasons. Moreover, every year, to hold new admissions, the management of the academy always had an open house to showcase their strength to the world while also showing their standard as the joining requirements were very high while the test was also very stringent. Other than that, a lot of young teenagers who came to participate in the test had high and important backgrounds belonging to prestigious families.
Amidst the crowd that entered the academy through the front gate, there was a young 16-year-old, dressed in fairly normal clothing with a hoodie covering his face walking towards the academy. The 16-year-old had black eyes deep as well while his face seemed to be drawn with an artistic perfection as his sharp jawline perfectly aligned with his face the whole symmetry of his face seemed impeccable. This teenager was none other than Ray.
However, he looked quite different from when he first entered "SYSTEM ONLINE" to obtain a system. This was mostly due to the result of his system leveling up as after every time he leveled up and the system absorbed the soul essence of beasts that he killed, some of that power was used to expel the impurities of his body outwards. Moreover, according to his system, the first batch of impurities would soon be expelled from his body after he leveled up again.
As Ray walked towards the gate he heard a commotion that caused many shouts to erupt in the crowd, he looked around and saw a parade of Suv's escorting a limousine while they entered through the gates of the academy. Many people exclaimed,
"That must be the dean of Academy", one said,
"Yeah!! That's his signature special addition limousine", another exclaimed.
Many people exclaimed while some envied the director but Ray on the other hand had an astonished look in his eyes.
It was because, the moment the dean's limousine passed Ray and drove into the Academy, Aurora's voice sounded in his head. She said, "It's him, he has the system with a consciousness, I can sense its aura, you will have to meet the person in the car and just tell him about my existence and your worries about the academy would be resolved".
After listening to Aurora, Ray said, "Are you sure he would help us and not make it harder for us or worse, he might even be jealous of the system and try to capture us".
Aurora then replied, "Don't worry about that, a system's bond with its host is not one way and he would suffer badly from his system if he does anything out of the way, you just make sure to meet him on the test day".
"Ok, I trust you", Ray answered back.

Meanwhile, within the limousine, the system that belonged to the director spoke, "Hey dean, you have a guest at your Academy"
The dean heard the voice coming from his consciousness and knew it was his system, so he asked, "Who is it, did you sense a familiar aura, or is it, someone to cause trouble".
The voice then replied, "Yeah, very familiar aura, It's the most familiar aura to me"
The dean was unfazed by its answer and said, "Well tell me who is it, is it someone from the world federation or someone sent by the elite powers of our world".
"Nah, It's royalty, someone even I am expected to bow my head to". The system replied in a voice filled with reverence.
"Huh royalty? Is it the president coming over? but why would you bow down to the president? you are a system that's at the top of the food chain after all".
The system replied, " It's not the president, It's a system that's at the very top and it's a being that will save humanity from its impending doom, as I have sensed it here, it means that the system has recently awakened and has come here to train to mean that the host of the system would be around 16 years old, moreover for the person to get the system, there must be something special about that person, something beyond a mortal's capabilities, hence, when they come, treat them well and listen to what they say or else humanity would suffer a huge setback and I'm sure it would make it impossible for humanity to overcome what's to come next without the person and his system"
The dean was taken aback by the words spoken by the system as not only did they seem to contain a threat to humanity, he was ordered to listen to what a 16-year-old said. but again, if this person was someone who could help them win the war when it came to that, he would put his ego aside and listen to what that person had to say. Moreover, he would also test the capabilities of the so-called future savior of humanity.

Whilst the dean and his system chatted, Ray walked into the academy gates. The academy was huge, infinitely huge. Well, that's what Ray thought as this was the first time he had seen such a huge building. After he walked around the academy a bit more, he realized that it was a small city in its aspect. The academy was divided into 5 different buildings.
A majestic castle was in between while four buildings that were student dormitories were built around the castle while shops spanned a different area while the eastern boundaries of the academy had a forest that spanned over 50 kilometers. Ray did not linger around anywhere and went straight to the main building of the academy.
After reaching the entrance of the majestic castle, he saw a man dressed like a butler checking everyone's identification details. Ray went to the man and showed him his identification number and details.
The man noticed that Ray was there for the test, therefore he guided him to go inside the main building and wait at the reception until someone comes to take him and the other students that arrived for the test so that they could conduct his test. After listening to the man, Ray walked inside the main building, and just as he walked inside the building, he was left in awe.
The building's grandeur was nothing less than a king's castle as its tall walls with gold engravings made it look extremely large and exquisite with large portraits hung around them. Moreover, there were various antiques placed around the place giving it a kingly charm. Other than that, it was huge, Ray could not even see the end of the place. It seemed as if he had come into another dimension. Hence, Ray suppressed his shock and walked toward the waiting room while he looked at the extremely mesmerizing castle.
