The Black Tundra region
But when the gap of 5 EMP Pulse ripples spread and Mana Bomb was in the middle of the fusion process, the A.I Super Computer self-protection system seemed to undergo a slight change...
"......."
"Host detected, 99.9% match..."
"......."
"System reboot..."

Shen City, Mainland
2219
The pulses of the electric shock were previously soft, although they would gradually strengthen, and if the target still did not respond, its capacity would rise to the equivalent of a small explosion, which is often, the same, will make unprepared targets fall from their seats. It was exactly that condition that forced Ran to open his eyes.
Accompanied by the laughter of his classmates, the young man frantically circulated his eyes, and what greeted him really surprised him, despite slipping a bit of sadness in his heart.
"Mrs. Chicken, if you please, would you like to join with our lesson with some more passion?"
The soft words that echoed through the sorphone invited further laughter that grew louder. Erhan, a substitute mentor for foreign language studies has always referred to him as Chicken, based on the title of an old book from ancient times, Chicken Run.
Ran sighed as the sadness strengthened in his heart as he stood up while rubbing both of his arms that were still tingling due to the punishment button, a system that would send a mild electric shock to any student who lost their concentration in the classroom during the lesson. Many of these laughing faces were unable to save themselves when the first wave came 3 years from now...
I think I really am in hell. Clever also Satan put me in this phase of life to punish me, Ran sighed.
The period of life he was facing right now was the saddest period for him. Poor, connectionless and brainless. A combination that will be able to make any teenager feel sad with the life he has. Even if compared to the life he had 5 years later, this was heaven...
"So, may I have your answer, Mr. Chicken?"
Chicken chickans, what chicken am I??! his grumbling again. Foreign languages are always a weakness, and Erhan knows.
"I'm sorry, sir. My name is Ran. R.. A.. N. Romeo Alfa November, not Run, like the ancient relic books you loved. But yes, I will be better for your class." said Ran slowly while trying to sit back in his chair. The penalty button will not allow the target to sit back before 5 seconds have passed. According to the academy leader, such a thing would be able to cultivate the courage to accept the mistake and admit it. Even though Ran thinks it's bullshit. After all, Erhan is just a bully who uses his ability to make fun of the weaknesses of others, and the fact he is just a substitute mentor whose age is not even far from them all, he said, that doesn't help at all. Only, he did not notice the stunned look that appeared on the faces of his classmates. Ran only realized it when he managed to sit down and tried to squeeze out every will in him to raise his face.
"Owh, nice answer. I think the punish button is good for you on learning, Mr. Ch.. Ran?" sahut Erhan again. A sly smile appeared on his face, which immediately, greeted the laughter of his classmate.
"I hope it's not, sir. But I guess, I will be some advance student on your lesson in short time start from now.."
Hearing this, silence enveloped the previously vibrant class, leaving Erhan's face as if he had been beaten, when he finally chose to target Ran and continue his studies.
Actually, this is not a vagueness. So far, "Yes", "Oui", "Honey", and yes yes in various other languages are able to emerge from Ran's mouth. A counter sentence in articulation and proper order would certainly be a great surprise. It is not impossible if the punishment button is really doing something for young people who only excel in the field of martial arts and various sports.
The soft throbbing of the communication bracelet in his hand attracted attention when a line of messages appeared on the holographic screen, bringing up Arlind's name there. The young man immediately shifted the holographic display screen to his palm so that the little monster that was still blabbering in front of the class did not notice him. The QuantumComm he uses is just the cheapest version, the version that brings up the display and allows anyone to read anything that happens to see it. Arlind, Shonjin Academy's flower class is always kind to her, but she tends to forget that the messages she sends can get her suspended for the use of communication media in study time.
Ran looked up at the girl who was turning her face towards him and grimaced. However when he saw the girl intending to send a follow-up message, Ran shook his head. He chose not to get the extra penalty button today...
......................
I don't know why she didn't stop looking and smiling. He didn't even touch the food in front of him. Almost all the time passed in the cafeteria room since the foreign language lesson had ended, he spent looking at the face of the young man who was engrossed in eating.
"There's a flower growing on my face, Lind?"
"Yes. Carrion flowers!" reply the girl while sticking out her tongue while laughing without realizing that the charm she emits can make roses jealous of her beauty.
"Huh, what to be proud of, is England easy? Erhan is the pretentious. Kayak has become a real mentor." said Ran after all his strength to exert all his will to take his eyes off the face like a goddess in front of him.
"Heiii, some are arrogant..."
"Not arrogant, just why should we learn another language if we have our own language try?" said Ran again without trying to take his eyes off the fresh vegetables on his plate. Vegetables are something he longed for. The Extermination Period really made vegetables the most sought-after commodity when Gifted began to turn into Humongs and hunted humans for their brains and meat. The young man could even ignore the pain like a needle prick on the inside of his head.
"Lho, we live in an area belonging to the Guild that has 7 main languages of instruction, Ran. How are you gonna be great if you even just want to master your own language?" sahut cute girl agile. Arlind could never miss any debate.
Uh, shit!
The pain is coming up again, and more and more now. The prick before was only fleeting, but this time it was quite painful. Ran continued to focus on chewing the vegetable in his mouth, and when he found a contemplative look in the pretty girl's eyes, he simply pointed at his full mouth. Ran needs to do this just so he doesn't show any pain that's starting to strengthen.
"Well, a lot of heads a lot of thoughts and opinions. If I think, as long as we are the greatest, let alone language, even dress, culture, or maybe the sound of our fart will be learned by others!" sahut Ran while laughing as his hand rubbed his throbbing cranium even stronger. Now, he really needed to put all his strength into enduring the pain.
Damn it... Also, where is life in hell good? Can eat well, chat with beautiful girls, no fire and strange, can reply teacher rancid, but the brain is pricked... Setaaaaaan, pops dong...! sighed Ran's mind, the pain he felt began to eat away at every ability he had.
But being able to enjoy this kind of chatter and joke with Arlind was something he was never able to do before. Although this girl has always been kind to him, Ran has never had the courage to interact with her. He came from a glittering world that was far from the reach of his hands. And unfortunately, Arlind was unable to hold on as long as the first wave change came. His life was frowned upon by his future partner, and it was one of the biggest regrets that always tormented Ran.
"If this is Hell, I'll enjoy every second... This pain.. I will not tear down.ku! You need to try harder, Satan!"
"Ran, k. c.. You k. got.. pa? Ke.. remember you baa..nyak?"
Why this girl? Did he mock my intelligence?
The intense pain began to feel the same as when the installation and activation of super human chips implants was done when he was still alive. The only pain that was so intense, that it made his brain work system block the memory of the pain itself at that time.
"Why are you talking that way? Don't act like Erhan, you're too pretty and good for that!" sergeant Ran was a little harsh although he soon regretted the harsh tone he let out when a look of shock appeared in the girl's eyes.
His head really hurts a lot right now. The pain of activating chips has never even hurt this much. He even started clenching his hands tightly and biting them just so he could endure the screams of pain that had reached his throat.
"Raaan!"
His gaze darkened when the young man finally could no longer hold on, and collapsed onto the floor...
