Ben and Ricky stepped into the classroom, their homeroom teacher entered just when they got inside. They quickly went and sat in their seats.
The teacher began his class, "Students today we will have a small test to check the bond between yourselves and your beasts; so let's move on to the site for the test".
Everyone followed Mr.Jacob and he went towards the ground. Jacob looked at his class to check whether they had all arrived, he moved to the middle of the cy ball court and arranged everyone to form a 6x10 rectangle and made them stand behind him in the middle of the cy ball court, and he slowly checked on his watch and pressed a button on his watch, suddenly the ground split open and the part which they were standing on slowly went inside the ground.
Everyone was gaping above and were shocked to see that a place like this existed in their school and slowly they were moving towards the ground, the upper portion which had opened up to let them in had closed, allowing no light to pass below and they couldn't see what was inside
--------------------------------------
"Sorry, I forgot that you guys need light to see down here", said Jacob as if he didn't need any light to see everything around him, and he pressed a button on his smartwatch to make lights appear.
"Wow!, could he really see everything in this darkness", I thought to myself; I knew the teacher had some extraordinary talents but night vision, that's a classy one.
Jacob suddenly shouted, "HELDA".
Suddenly a womanly voice replied," Yes, Mr.Jacob how may I help you?".
"Please turn on the lights and introduce yourself", said Jacob and turned towards the students while the lights slowly turned on.
"Students, Welcome to the beast training hall, I am Helda, an artificial AI built for helping students understand and train their beasts; I will help you regarding your beasts whenever you need, please feel free to contact me through your smartwatches.", said Helda.
Only the voice was heard by us, but its voice felt very real and it didn't feel like an AI talking to us. The hall was very huge separated into different sections and also different doors were present to enter each section and of course, all the sections are made with translucent walls, I think they are made up of azurade which is a plastic with some similar properties like drupinium and it is commonly used in making these kinds of walls. The main room was filled with different kinds of equipment even some equipment which I had seen in my portal room.
"Students every equipment and wall here have been attached with Helda's mainframe network and she will help you in every part of your understanding about your beasts..." continued Jacob.
And everyone was listening to him.
Well except for me, in my heard I heard a voice groaning, "Ain't she a beauty, a penta byte septa processor core, a zeta byte storage, completely wireless, and the most beautiful voice I have ever heard; Ben I beseech thee to find me a way to talk with her" said the system.
"Come on system, How can you talk to her you are inside me, you are both systems, what are you going to do by talking?, anyway .....and please stop talking strangely, "replied I to its strange request.
"Please find a way to get her IP address and I'll figure out the rest ", replied the system happily.
"I'll try", said I and didn't listen to the entire session, suddenly someone nudged me with their elbow and I looked towards them, it was Ricky and he was urging me with his eyes to look forward.
"BEN, ARE YOU PAYING ATTENTION?", shouted the teacher.
"No, teacher I was not paying attention, I was thinking about something else", said I, afraid that the teacher will ask me questions if I lied.
Everyone in my class had turned towards me and were chuckling and laughing out loud, even my friends were laughing at me and I felt kinda awkward.
"CLEANING DUTY INSTEAD OF THE ROBO-MAID, YOU WILL COME AND CLEAN THE BEAST TRAINING HALL, AFTER YOUR LUNCH", said the teacher sternly to which I agreed as the mistake had been on my side.
"Oh..., Well I forgot that you have other classes and you still haven't received your beast type, so we cannot proceed with today's class, you all will have to wait till next Monday, and then we will have our beast assessment", said our teacher and dismissed the class.
Our teacher sure has some strange memory and he sure does forget everything important.
Ricky placed a hand on my shoulder as I was again starting to space out.
"What happened to you Ben, is everything fine?", he asked.
"Yeah everything's fine", I replied; Well, how can I probably say that a system in my head is asking another system for its number, that'll really sound absurd and I still haven't said my friends about the system and I think it's for the best.
"Come on buddy let's go ", said Max, and urged me to move on, we stood in the same format to go above.
"Ben some times you have to lie to get out of trouble and this time was one of those times, you don't have to be honest always.....", It was Li Shin who was standing beside me lecturing my ear off. Well, I didn't listen to most of what he said as the teacher was talking again.
"If you want to come here as a group or as an individual, you can use the elevator near the main building entrance, press G1 and you can enter here, all the other sections below have been restricted access to 8 th graders and will be available once you reach your 10 grade, wear your smartwatch at all times as it has the key to allow you to enter here, do you all understand?"
Everyone in our class nodded their heads,
"Now, scoot and go to your next class", said the teacher and went his way. We also went our way to go to the next class. As we don't have to carry any extra books and only our Digi-book, we were not given any lockers, it was only available for grade 10 and up, so we didn't have to wait anywhere to take our books as it is easy going to the next class because we have our Digi-books with us always.
We use them to take notes, to learn our lessons and also. clear our doubts with the teacher if we have any.
It was the cyborg mod class and the four of us went towards the cyborg mod classroom, whereas the rest of the class moved towards the combat training class.
