Chapter 5 - AI

Immediately the captain ended his speech, and the next second he was gone, nobody could even catch a glimpse of him or his blur, nobody knew where he went at all, true, he was a speed ability user but this level of speed just seems like teleportation.

"here we go" Mabel sighed

[battle mode activated]

a voice in their heads played out the words displayed before everyone through the contact they wore, and as soon as that happened they began to match forward

"stupid AI" Ethan muttered "I can think for myself"

"really?" Sam said with a doubtful look in his eyes

"what! of course I can, wait, are you not supposed to be with me on this"

"oh... yes you can" he said nodding his head which reflect a hint of mockery

"why do I feel worse hearing you say that"

"well, maybe because your brain for once finally accept..."

Bang!

Suddenly a loud bang was heard far ahead of them, when looking up they could see an horde of beasts running over crashing into buildings later to exit from the other side crumbling the walls with victims in their mouth or blood dripping from their it

Humanity of this age were strong, far stronger than the previous humans but so were the beasts, so if you are not trained or strong enough or your gene awakens a powerful ability, then your chance of survival in this world is low.

Everything just seems too real, and the beast which had fired off the lightning that caused a building to crumble and caused the loud bang could be seen walking majestically at the back, the attack had came out too fast and too powerful, which instantly makes them realize that this is a rank A type beast though they couldn't be sure as it hasn't shown any sign of intelligence because if it does then that makes it a rank S type beast and it danger level is just all the more higher.

Soon the larger part of the beasts horde was heading towards them, seeing this, the second year students glance toward each other before giving out series of commands in tandem, starting with Leon.

"weapons up boys, platoon A no beast is getting past you, arrow formation, now!"

"platoon B, left wing "

"platoon C, right wing "

immediately the formation was put in place and if one was to look from above it looks like an arrow head which was extended by the sides.

when the beasts where at a certain hundreds meter away from them, Leon ordered

"fire!"

endless echos of spraying began to resound throughout the fields as the AI calculates the weak spots and the trajectories of the beasts at a very high speed, light beams are then released eliminating the weaker ones in one shot and the stronger ones with multiple shots. The AI could calculate the weak spots of the beasts based on the informations in it database about their previous encounters and demise, obtaining needed data in less than a milisecond and transmitting the information into the brain receptor which is processed by the soldiers as a sort of instinct gained from experience which allows them to know specifically what to do coupled with the virtual display through the contact, showing the trajectory of the beast and mapping out it weak spot, which is basically mostly around their cores allowing the students to aim perfectly and when the beast came close enough it shows openings and entry points that allows doing of maximum damage or eliminating them with their light swords.

The light gun and light sword as they are being called are one and the same weapon which changes shape at a speed faster than the fraction of a second.

developed through the advance technology of minds that had evolved from the basic science of the former humans. it uses condensed light properties as it energy shots and blade, both the shot and the light blade are able to Pierce any metal known to man easily, which is powered by the beast crystals that has been condensed into power cells, the existence of the beasts truly makes acquiring energy source easier.

With the student adapting to the function of the AI better than the last time they were able to perform better, and bit by bit they began to match forward and ofcourse there was an exception amidst them

"f*ck" Ethan could not help but cursed as he was having a hard time dealing with the informations being transfered to his receptive nerves while trying to fight this battle by himself. he had always believe that a man should do things by himself, get stronger by himself, and always be ready to proof himself as a man and not rely on others and other things like someone he knew... so it was very difficult for him to concentrate or ignore the AI as informations kept coming and the virtual display is just all the more annoying.

"is there no way to shut down this stupid thing" he said as he shot at a beast, the shot went right through it's neck and falling as it cease to exist "I can do just fine by myself"

"hail Ethan Temi, the almighty" Sam teased

"just don't mess things up, going one man army on us again" Luke said irritated

"what's up with you guys, I was only too focused on the battle that I didn't..."

"just cut the crap, you obviously hasn't learn from it" rose said

"he is just to hot headed to listen to anyone"

"can you just f*cking stop" Ethan yelled "it's my life and I don't need your opinion to live it"

"right, but don't go rubbing your bad luck on others, if it's too hard for you, just go learn business craft from your father" Ramon said

""

For a few seconds Ethan paused almost breaking the formation before he moved, the only saving grace being that they were moving forward at a very slow pace but he didn't care, suddenly he threw a jab to the left hitting Ramon at the side of his neck and throwing him off balance, before going to pounce on him and delivering two blows to his face and before he could do more, Ramon blocked the third blow which was followed up by lifting his lower body, and using his feet he grabbed Ethan from the back of his neck and surmonning all his strength threw him off before doing a quick Chinese get-up perfectly.

Ethan landed few meters away as the others quickly avoid being crash into by him and immediately a ding sound was heard by the two offenders, followed by a display and a voice that read out the word

[you are eliminated]

they both saw the words and Ramon glared at Ethan only to see him having a smirk on his face, Ramon's head almost exploded with rage as it looked as if his eyes where about to spit fire

[please leave the training room]

Ignoring the new notification, Ramon activated his fire ability as fire covered his fist and he immediately dashed forward.

[Ability activated]

[Ability activated]

both their contact displayed the message.

The distance was short but Ethan wasn't scared he stretched his hands wide and clapping it together...

But before anything could happen they both disappeared
