The world has drastically changed as the human civilization became more advanced. With the new diverse weapons, transportation system, communication devices and most importantly Artificial Intelligence, the human civilization has become more sophisticated and high class.

"So these are the various laws and theories found in physics" a woman who seems to be in her 20s said after writing something on a board while turning to face a group a students in a classroom. This woman has blonde hair with eyeglasses which rested on her dark eyes, a curvaceous body with a height of 6 foot tall.

  Right after this woman turned to face the students in the classroom, she saw a particular boy sleeping soundlessly at the back-left corner of the classroom. And so, with a vein popping on her forehead, she called out the boy's full name…

"Max Lewin!!"

"Yes ma!" The boy hurriedly said as he quickly rise up from his desk. This boy had dark hair with dark-brown eyes, a well defined face and a height of 5.8 foot tall. Right after the boy answered hastily, all the students in the classroom burst out with laughter.

"I can't believe he slept again in Miss Rose's class"

"How many times has he slept in her class now?"

"I think this should be the 5th time now"

"Well he's in for a lashing now"

  While the students were chatting and chuckling among themselves, Miss Rose slowly but heavily approached Max's seat.

"Miss, I promise you that this will be the last time I will sleep in your class ever again" Max hurriedly said in an apologetic tone as he tried to avoid the death stare Miss Rose is currently giving him.

  But right when Miss Rose were about to say something, a ringtone suddenly rang out in the classroom before a gentle voice said…

"Time is 3pm, school has been closed for the day, all teachers should immediately report at the staff room while all the students should please go to the waiting room for your AI[1] to take you home"

  When all the students In the classroom heard the announcement made by the voice, they had shocked expression on their faces as they chatted among themselves…

"He escaped it again!!?"

"What kind heavenly luck does Max have to escape Miss Rose's wrath for the 5th time!?"

"This can't do! I need to meet him to teach me how he does it"

  While the anonymous students were chatting and getting there stuffs to leave, Miss Rose still stood in front of Max with a grim look now on her face. When Max saw this, a wry smile appeared on his face as he thought…

'i've really done it this time'

 But not long after, Miss Rose suddenly said in a grim tone…

"We will settle this in our next class"

"Ok Miss" Max hurriedly replied before he quickly took his school bag which was beside him and maneuvered his way out of the class. When he distanced himself from the class entrance, he finally stopped as he sighed in relief and thought with a bitter smile on his face….

'That was close, I thought I would meet my maker there'

  A short moment later, he began to walk towards the end of the school hall along with other students who were chatting among themselves. When he got to the end of the hall, he saw three pods placed there which apparently were transporting students out of the hall. After he approached one of the hall, he pressed a red button at the top of the pod.

"Identify yourself" a mechanical voice suddenly spoke right after he pressed the button, but he wasn't fazed as he answered…

"Max Lewin, a student"

  After answering the pod's question, there was a moment of silence before he got a response…

"Identity approved, please step in"

 And so, after Max got into the pod, the pod suddenly vanished from the hall. Right after, it appeared at a much wider and longer hall where different people and AI were seen taking the students of the school out of the hall.

"You can safely get out of the pod Max Lewin. Hope you have fun for the rest of the day" the mechanical voice rang out again as the door of the pod suddenly opened.

"Yeah I will" Max responded as he got out of the hall and began to walk towards an AI that was silently standing at a corner of the hall. This AI was a middle aged man that has dark blue hair and eyes, wearing a sweatshirt and plain jeans while having a thin build.

  After Max approached this AI, the later suddenly asked as he stared at former…

"How was school?"

"It was fine Thomas" Max plainly replied as he unhurriedly took off the bagpack from his shoulders and gave it to the AI. After taking the backpack, Thomas asked again…

"Can we go home now?"

"Of cause" Max replied plainly again as he started walking towards the ending of the hall. As soon as Max came out of the hall, what meet him was an exceedingly busy street as hovering cars were lined up on the road while people and various AI could be seen walking across the street. Not only that, but an advanced speedtrain could be seen speeding across it's tracks that can be seen in the air at the other end of the road.

"What's that?" A particular student suddenly spoke beside Max as he pointed towards a long line of dark light extending across the bright sky. When Max looked at where the student was pointing and saw this dark light, he was initially surprised but later came back to normal as he began to walk down the street with his AI

Rumble!!

Rumble!!!

Rumble!!!

  But about 5 minutes after he began to walk down the street, a sudden earthquake erupted on the streets as some people began to fall down unexpectedly.

"Be careful Max" Thomas suddenly said as he held Max by his hands widen his legs a little. After doing that, two dark colored ropes suddenly came out from the ankles of his two legs and forcefully went into the streets which finally made him steady along with Max.

  After a few minutes, the earthquake finally subsided as peace reigned again on the street.

"What just happened?" Max muttered as he looked at his surroundings with a bewildered expression on his face while people began to stand up. But not long after, a scream suddenly rang out behind him…

"Wh… what is that!!?" A girl in her teens spoke in a trembling voice as she pointed towards a creature landed on now motionless speedtrain. This creature was as tall as a two storey building as it had three red colored eyes, two wings that was 5 metres wide and was green all over it's body except from the silver colored claws that was protuding from his two legs. When Max saw this creature, his expression suddenly turned grave as he said in a trembling voice…

"Wha… what the fuck is that?"

"Hostile intent perceived"

"Entering Defense mode" 

  Thomas suddenly said as his eyes suddenly turned light red with his clothes suddenly changing into a black battle suit. Not only him, but the other AI were doing the same.

"Thomas wait!!" Max suddenly exclaimed as he saw Thomas and the other AI dashing towards the creature. But right when the AI's could reach the creature, the later suddenly flew towards them with frightening speed…

Xiu….

Bang!!

 After the creature approached them, he quickly slashed at one of the AI with one of his legs which made to fly right back.

"Shit!!" Max exclaimed gravely as he saw the slashed AI coming towards him with speed that couldn't be seen with the naked eye. Unfortunately, before he could move out of the area, the AI already landed on him.

Bang!!

"Max!!" Thomas exclaimed with a frightened expression as he quickly dashed back to where Max landed with the AI…

"Urrgh…" Max weakly said as he tried to see what was happening. But right after he saw Thomas coming towards him while the other AI were being beaten mercilessly, he l
