Chapter 85 Emergency Meeting



The meeting hall,

A great chatter could be heard in the meeting hall today, in the middle 12 chairs could be seen around a round table while right above the table, a huge glowing orb could be seen pulsating blue light.

Out of the 12 chairs, 11 were full as they had different people seated on them.

"Why did he call an emergency meeting at such an hour? Couldn\'t it have waited until the morning?", a bearded man spoke in anger as he slammed his fist on the table.

"Calm yourself, Moore. As far as I know, Prometheus wouldn\'t summon everyone here at the same time for nothing. He must have a reason for this", a beautiful lady with blueish green hair and hazel eyes spoke.

She looked not a year above thirty while the grace she carried herself with made her seem as if she was a noble lady and not some director who worked at the Academy.

On the other hand, the middle-aged man named Moore didn\'t seem to be convinced as he spoke right after,

"If it is so important, then why is he so late? He should have been the first one to be here, but no! Here we are waiting for him and he doesn\'t even dare to show his face", Moore spoke in spite.

"I am sure he is caught up with something, he will be here soon and will also have an explanation for why he has kept us all waiting", the beautiful lady with hazel eyes spoke with impeccable grace as she answered Moore\'s questions.

On the other hand, the other people around the table also nodded as they heard what the lady had to say.

Seeing all this, Moore harrumphed in annoyance as he chose to keep silent.

A few minutes later,

"Creak",

The main door of the meeting hall opened and an outline of a lone figure be seen. The figure walked in as light shined behind him, his back straight, his shoulder broad as he entered the hall.

"You are as tacky as always, always making an entrance. Isn\'t it right, Prometheus?", Moore asked sarcastically as he identified that the dean was the one making the entrance.

"Slamm!",

The door closed behind the dean with a slam as he reached his seat and sat on it, completely ignoring Moore.

"Before I start, I want you all to continue with the tradition and represent your systems into the orb", The dean spoke as he put his hand forward,

Everyone followed the dean and extended their hands forward,

As everyone extended their hands forward, a strange fog came out of their hands and entered the pulsating orb. After entering the orb, the fog divided into 12 different colored patches of fog while the orb also divided into 12 smaller orbs.

Afterwards, the different colored patches of fog entered an orb each. After which, each orb flew towards a person who sat on the chair and floated in front of them.

After all that happened, the different patches of fog within the orbs morphed into different beings. Some looked like beasts that came straight out of hell while some looked like otherworldly beings as if angels themselves.

Then came the being in front of dean, it looked as if the devil incarnate with slits for his eyes and those obsidian-colored scales on its arms as they went from its forearms down to its hands and ended as they reached its devilish deadly claws.

The being in the orb was the dean\'s system itself, which has taken its original form.

Seeing that everyone was done with their systems taking their original forms. The dean spoke,

"Now, for the matter that I called you for",

"Yes, please. Hurry up and tell us why you called here, that too in the middle of the night", Moore interrupted the dean as he called him out again.

Ignoring the pest, the dean continued,

"I called you here for a very important matter. A matter that concerns the lives of countless students",

"What is it? Explain", the hazel-eyed lady spoke in concern,

"I understand your concern, Amanda. But you all need to wait a bit first", the dean said as he laid back on his chair.

Seeing the dean\'s behavior, unrest grew amongst a few of those sitting on the chairs while Moore took benefit of it and spoke,

"Why are you being so laid back, even after you said that it concerns the livelihood of countless students? You know that this behavior of yours might cause harm to the students",

"But No! Here you are, laying back on your chair and waiting for his knows what. You know what? I feel that you are simply taking advantage of your position and making things up to show us your real power", Moore spoke as he accused the dean with multiple accusations.

On the other hand, the hazel-eyed lady frowned at Moore for his words along with a few other directors.

While some directors nodded at Moore\'s words as they looked at the dean to see his reaction.

Other choose to be neutral as they showed no change in their expressions.

Meanwhile,

The dean\'s eyes squinted a bit as he looked toward Moore but he did nothing and simply ignored him.

While Moore took it as an opportunity as he spoke again,

"Hmph, look at you being silent and all. I am sure you are guilty of it that you can\'t even form words. Looking at you reminds me of a saying that, A guilty consciousness needs no accuser. Just like yours",

Moore harrumphed while those who were agreeing with him looked even more convinced that the dean had called them here just for a show of power,

Listening to Moore\'s words, the dean frowned a bit but said nothing.

He waited for Ray to send him the evidence so he could take action after that.

As for why he needed evidence? It was because of Moore and those like him. Such people spared no effort to accuse him and get to his position.

Also, the dean suspected that Moore had a hand in everything happening but didn\'t think he was the one to plan it all as he knew that Moore didn\'t have the balls to do so.

He was sure of it that something or someone bigger, at a higher position than any of them, was supporting Moore. That would also explain why he was being so proactive and accusing him openly.

Hence, the dean needed evidence so he could take action and launch an investigation, hopefully catching someone important. Someone who knew those who had a hand in today\'s matter and hopefully proved his suspicions right.

Meanwhile,

As the dean waited for Ray to send him the evidence. Ray himself was caught in a disastrous situation as he faced the choice of saving a teammate or leaving it be and collecting evidence.

Ray didn\'t need to think about this as he thought of it made his move,

"It\'s now or never", Ray thought as he jumped down from the tree and ran towards where Emma was.

On the other hand,

His other teammates looked at him in bewilderment,

"He is going to get us all caught. He could have just waited for everything to start, collect the evidence, and send it to the dean. Then, the dean would have come and saved everyone. Including Emma", Aliya conversed with others in a discreet way as to not alert anyone.

"Did anyone ever tell you that you are as naïve as a child despite looking older than one?", Elina said to her as she continued,

"What you are seeing right now is not Ray ruining the plan but a leader rescuing his teammate. So If I were you, I would shut up and record while being ready to help your team leader at a moment\'s notice", Elina berated Aliya for her childishness as she continued to record.

While Aliya simply kept her head down in shame and decided not to speak anymore lest she makes a fool of herself again.
