"Lex" Ms Laura said nodding towards him. Lex was at first startled to hear the voice in his head, but he then calmed down when he recalled the meeting with his 'Father'.
"Can i please be excused" Lex asked
Ms Laura was confused for a second. She was sure that Lex wanted to ask something " You are excused Lex" she said "But hurry back i don't want you to miss anything important".
Lex walked out of the class then half jogged towards the bathroom. He went and sat inside an empty stall. "Why did you stop me from asking my teacher about my system" He said as soon as he sat.
"-First of all , i can read your mind so just think what you wanna say. I don't want to have a son known for talking himself-"
"-I am not your son, my father died . Now answer my question -" Lex said , internally this time.
The voice released a sad sigh "-Whether you want to believe me or not you are my son and as my son you are half dragon. If you ask anyone about the system they will do tests on you thereby finding out that you are not human. You will then spend the rest of your life as a science experiment-"
Lex understood what the voice meant. If he where to be found out they might even mistake him for an elven spy and kill him without a second thought.
"-Fine i won't tell anyone, how are you in my head anyway?-" he enquired
"-Yesterday we where ambushed in my cave and the aura of a rank 4 Cultivator caused you to pass out on the spot. I had to forcefully enter your system and take control of your body to escape, i even left you a noce surprise did you see it ?-"
'He must mean the stat boost' Lex thought.
"-Yes i mean the stat boost-" the voice said. Lex had forgotten that it could read his mind.
"-Wait you took over my body ? -" Lex expressed his curiosity
"- Correct, but in doing so i used a lot of my energy, im afraid i can't stay for long. I need to go into a kind of deep sleep to recover.-" Confessed the voice
"-So you are just going to leave me with a system i can't understand, with no teacher to teach me how to use it ? , Doesn't seem very fatherly to me -"Lex mentally rolled his eyes.
"-I will leave you an AI that can help you with anything you may need , any questions before i go ?-"
"-Yes, since im half dragon and all, will i also be able to transform like you one day?-"Lex asked
"-Hell no, the dragon DNA in your body is not enough to trigger a transformation -"The voice answered
"-Why ? where your genes that weak"Lex commented sarcastically.
"-No my dragon genes are very strong actually, but when i had sex with your mother i was in my human form otherwise.....-"
"-Too much information -"Lex cut his father short. He closed his eyes and a look of sadness overcame him.
"-Dad , why am i like this ? , why am i not crying my eyes out telling you how much i missed you?-"Lex questioned
"-It's the system, it alters the brain of the it's host . Anyone with a system will have their 'useless' feelings removed, the systems where designed for soldiers after all-"
"- Lex I've run out of time be careful of....-"
"-Hello?... father? be carefull of what?-" He received no answer, it seemed Lex was alone in his head once again.
Lex stood up and began walking back to class when this time a feminine voice sounded in his head.
{ Hello master Lex }
{You must be the new AI } Lex said in his mind as he was now used to having people sharing it.
{That is correct master Lex , my name is Angela and i was programmed to help you navigate the draconic system} Angela answered
{Was it my father who gave you that name ?}Lex inquired
{Yes master , i was originally named Linda but was then renamed to Angela 1 minute and 46 seconds ago} Angela commented
'That old man , dragon whatever read my mind before before leaving 'Lex cursed
{Stop calling me master} Lex commanded
{As you wish, what would you like me to call you ?}
{Just call me Lex} he suggested
{As you command Lex}
Lex went back inside the classroom and sat in his seat
"That was fast Lex "Laura said. Lex was confused as he glanced at the clock. He was surprised to find out that he was out for about just 1 minute .
"I didn't want to miss anything Ma'am" Lex awkwardly replied as he sat down.
{Angela explain}He said to his AI.
{Mental conversations are conducted in your mind so they don't use real world time, even right now as i talk to you , time in the outside world is not moving at all}
Lex could already think of many ways to take advantage of his AI .Like when fighting, he could engage Angela while he thought of a way to dodge or or counter attack his opponent. Or when talking to Linda , he can make enough time to think of something cool to say.
His train of thought was interrupted when he decided to listen to the lesson happening in front of him.
"To answer your question Jenny , Yes you can use System Inspect to inspect another person, why don't you all use it on me and see what you get." Lex focused on Ms Laura before activating the skill
'System Inspect'
{
Rank 3 Cultivator
Element : Wind Lvl 4
Force : 120/120
Strength : 60
Speed : 100
Endurance : 70
}
"I know you are all disappointed to only see question marks , But it's just because i am much stronger than you. You can only inspect someone in the same rank as you "
{Angela?}
{My master was a very powerful being Lex, it's not hard for me to evaluate a mere rank 3 Cultivator} Angela did the AI equivalent of boasting.
{So am i also powerful?} Lex asked
{Yes you are Lex even if you have just a little bit of dragon blood in your veins, it's still there} Lex could
feel excitement rising from inside him.
{So could i fight Ms Laura if i wanted to?} Lex asked , clearly happy
{Yes you could fight her , but you would die in 0.2 seconds} Lex's excitement disappeared faster than it came.
"That's all for today class, tomorrow you will all learn your first skill , you are dismissed".
