Chapter 406 System Returns
"What do you mean that there is no response from Asher Greville?" Professor Arman asked the staff member.
"Sorry, Professor, but we have sent a total of five summons already," The Staff member replied.
"Five...Did you contact his sister or his friends?" Arman asked.
"All of them gave the same reply: it seems that Asher Greville is still doing his training,"
"Usually, we would just cancel the student's entry, but we can't do that for him," The Staff member said with a troubled look on his face.
Denying someone from the Elite Family their right to enter the Trials Ground was the same as making an enemy out of them.
All they could do was wait and make sure that till the end, it was Asher's choice not to enter Trials Ground with everyone.
"It's weird. He himself enrolled his name in the Trials Ground list using the right that was given by the Principal," Arman said out loud.
"We might have to enter the Rankers Dorm to check if everything is fine," Arman said.
'His ID Bracelet hasn't given any alarm, so he should still be okay, but it's better to confirm things,' Arman thought in his head.
The ID bracelet on each student's hand was an extremely useful device that could alert the faculty if the student's life was in danger.
There was always a case where a student tried to force his way through the training and try to gain more strength; it would often lead to extreme injuries, which was why these ID Bracelets were designed in a way that they would alert them.
But Arman and the staff member didn't know that Asher's ID Bracelet was completely hijacked by Tom, and he had full control over all the features.
"Alert the guards to check the condition there; I will get the Vice Principal's approval in the meantime," Arman said as the staff member nodded his head.
Arman was already busy preparing everything for Trials Ground that he needed to get this situation resolved.
If Asher didn't want to enter right now, it was fine, but they needed to check what the reason for his delayed response was.
For any kind of mishap that could happen to the Heir of the Greville family, the entire World Academy would have to take the blame.
And that was something they couldn't afford to do in any case. It was also the reason why Asher was able to strike that deal with Farnus during the Ranking Examination when the First Year started.
Greville was best known for things that didn't sound good for World Academy and even with Farnus's status, ignoring the Sword God Nathaniel Greville wasn't possible.
If someone was crazy enough to face Farnus Calmort head-on, it was definitely Nathan, and the people who knew about it had already seen the wrath of the Sword God.
It happened when Ivar died, and it was only because it was Ivar's own decision to enter the Dungeon that helped calm Nathan Greville.
Knowing the personality of the Strongest Greville, it was better to avoid any sort of problems that would place the blame on the World Academy.
Arman used his magic to disappear and appeared in front of the faculty council as the black smoke gathered around his legs.
A few minutes later,
Two S Rank Hunters were outside the Rankers Dorm and entered the Rankers Dorm, confusing Elena and Eva, who were just leaving the Rankers Dorm due to some work.
It was rare to see the Guard Hunters of the World Academy like this as they were placed around the Outer Sector. But it was even more surprising that they were entering the Rankers Dorm, which was a special place that only the student rankers could visit freely.
And if they were entering it like this, it only meant that they had gotten orders to enter the Rankers Dorm.
"What are they doing here?" Elena asked Eva.
"Did something happen?" Eva questioned as they both observed the guard hunters going towards the lift and using a special card to activate the lift.
Elena and Eva were waiting to see the destination of the lift, and soon enough, they could see it passing each floor, and it went towards the highest floor.
The floor belonged to the Rank 1 Student of the current Second Year Students.
<Access from the Floor Owner has been requested>
The Guard Hunters listened to the voice of the Security System of the Rankers Dorm as the lift opened, revealing a locked place.
"I will sense for any sort of disturbance in mana," One of them said as he spread his mana around the floor.
It was hard to focus on what was inside, but they could sense any sort of imbalance in mana.
"There is no reply," The other one stepped forward.
"We have to wait for permission to enter this place," the first one said.
Both of them were waiting for the order from Professor Arman, who was getting permission from Xander.
"It would take some control to destroy this door without breaking anything inside," the second guard hunter said as he touched the door.
Suddenly, they heard the Robotic voice, which alerted them.
<The Permission to enter has been denied>
"What? Does that mean he is fine?" The First Guard Hunter spoke.
"It should mean that he is inside, but why isn't he answering the summons?" The Second one spoke.
Both of them got confused as the situation got weirder, and this also made them a bit suspicious of what was happening inside.
Even though they had confirmed that someone from inside had denied the permission, not seeing Asher with their own eyes made them unsure of what to do.
But soon, their confusion as the door opened and a pair of crimson red eyes became visible.
"Is there any problem?" Asher asked.
"The summons was ignored, so we were sent to check if everything was fine and confirm your participation," The First Guard Hunter immediately replied.
"It's fine; I am participating," Asher said as he tapped the ID Bracelet on his right hand.
"This should be enough to confirm my participation," Asher said as both of them nodded.
"Then we will leave," He said as both of them turned to leave.
Asher saw them leave through the lift as he closed the door and took the support of the wall.
He almost lost his balance but made his way to the living room. As he sat down on the couch and looked up at the System Notification.
The System was finally back, and it was also the reason why Asher was able to return to World Academy despite being unconscious.
[ First Awakening of the System has been completed ]
[ Level 41 has been reached ]
[ Change in Host's strength detected ]
[ Synchronization Process..... 31% ]
Asher looked at the notifications that had been present before him for a long time.
[ Quest Feature Unlocked ]
[ Fate Detection has been unlocked ]
Some of the features that were locked were also back, but the System was still not responding to Asher. And the reason was the synchronization process that was ongoing right now.
"34 hours," Asher looked at his ID Bracelet.
That was the time he needed to report for the Trails Ground, and that was how long he had to regain his strength.
Asher stood up and started slowly walking towards the bed as he laid down and closed his eyes after tapping the timer on his ID Bracelet.
At the Mansion in Soran,
"Will Boss be fine?" Dane asked.
"I mean, he woke up pretty soon," Dane said.
All of them were shocked when they saw Asher open his eyes within 3 hours, and he immediately asked for the necklace.
"I am sure Boss knows what he is doing," Tom replied as he turned around his chair.
"So, I guess both of you can rest now," Tom said.
"I am not feeling that tired, I would go train," Kai said,
"I will go rest," Dane replied as he stretched his hands.
Both of them let go of their worries quickly as they stopped thinking about something they couldn't do anything about.
"Well, you don't have any immediate missions, so I guess you can do whatever you want," Tom replied as he turned his chair.
Kai turned to leave as Dane was going as well, but before going, Dane caught a glimpse of what Tom was doing.
"Are you buying land?" Dane asked.
"Yeah, Boss told me to get the area around here the moment I get the chance," Tom replied.
It was an empty forest area that was around the Cities that were neighboring Soran.
"Is there something interesting that caught Boss's eye?" Dane asked.
"Not really. I checked the records, and this area doesn't seem like a good investment, but I am just following the orders I was given," Tom replied,
"Hmm, I will go. You can work peacefully," Dane said as he patted Tom's shoulders and left the room.
Tom turned and looked back at the door as he touched his shoulder.
"This bastard doesn't know how to hold back his strength," Tom said with an annoyed look on his face.
He held his shoulder as the painful sensation was still lingering, but he turned around to click and send the proposal to buy that land under Asher's name and partially under the Greville name.
