Prologue

  Vrmmm... Vrmmm... Vrmmm...

Groan. "What time is it?"

"It's exactly 6 AM sir, if you don't want to be late for school it will be best for you to get up."

"Why does the academy have to remodel the dorms at this time of year?"

"It's something that only the school staff will know sir.”

"Seems that you are not developed enough to understand what I meant by that."

"You created me sir and you have yet to program me on how to process figures of speech."

"You are learning AI, figure it out you self."

"Sir could you keep your voice down, other people in different apartments are trying to sleep"

I get up from the bed, the academy really didn't pull their punches when they got us these apartments, and they got about a hundred students whose dorms where being remodeled luxury apartments in the affluent side of town. The problem is that the academy is on the other side of town.

Rubbing my eyes I look outside the window, the streets are filled with all sorts of robots it seems the richer people in town don't need living servants when they have robots who can do those things for them and don't have to worry about  feeding them as they run on mana crystals.

  “Master Blau you are going to be late."

  “Oh, thank you Lumine."

Damn bus I'm running late, why didn't I tell Lumine to book a ticket for 7:25. It's weird though, bus travel has advanced several years from when it originated in the 8th century of the Faux-ion calendar, it has been  a hundred and fifty years since that and we still have to worry about late buses. Even after the leaps and bounds in technology over those years and civilization has become way more advanced for humans and other races but even with the development of automated robots that run on pure mana crystals we still have to complain about late buses.

A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.

As the bus arrives, I get in and show my virtual ticket. The bus driver glances at me for a moment before scanning the ticket. The man seems to be in his 40's, as I get to my seat he asks me this "Hey, why are you going to school today I thought people didn't go to school on weekends"

"Huh?"

"I said why are you going to school on a weekend?"

"Today is a weekend? I'm gonna put a virus in Lumine."

"Who's Lumine?"(Bus driver)

"No one important, besides, why are you asking a stranger about their personal relationships."(Blau)

The bus driver goes silent.

"Master Blau it seems today is a Saturday"(Lumine)

"Then, WHY was a woken up?"

"You said that your generation goes to school every day, so I thought that I should wake you up every day as to prepare you for school"

"That was a hyperbole"

"Noted, I will take note of the use of figures of speech"

"We are still on those huh, I’ll rework your programming"

Bus driver POV

Why the hell is that kid talking to himself?

It's like he is having a conversation but he is the only one talking. He is responding as if he is talking to someone.

Blau POV

"And besides master Blau, you were invited by your classmate Liberimente for archery."

"I still don't see a reason in going."

"Sir, but we already on the way to the academy."

I was about to answer Lumine but I noticed that I wasn't the only passenger on the bus. Heck I wasn't even the only passenger who was from the academy, hell i wasn't even the only one in my class.

“I hope you all enjoyed my acting, I’m practicing for the role of Joker in the upcoming academy play."

A joker, that's what I felt like, a total clown that is what I feel like.

I Blau Tec Industria am about to become a laughingstock in school.
