A Failure's hopeful Journey

You Xi Wang kept his calm when he heard all this. Just as Daina stopped speaking the team of doctors came out of the observation ward. The elderly doctor asked, "May I ask, who brought the patient here?"

You Xi Wang spoke, "Me and my sister."

The elderly doctor nodded and spoke, "Young man, you two did a good deed. The patient is in a dire need of rest, almost all of the spirit energy is used up. The body is extremely fragile leaving her in the state she is right now." the doctor paused and continued, "This patient is blessed to have a terrifying battle prowess yet the regular neural network is affected. She is always falling and stumbling because her senses are not slow on the contrary they are too fast for regular tasks. We call this a battle dumb physique. You need to take care of her. Let her rest in here for a couple of days and you can take her home afterward."

The three people nodded and the team of doctors left after some more remarks regarding the treatment. Susan stayed behind and spoke to You Xi Wang, "You can rest assured, I have assigned for a nurse to be on watch 24 hours. I have to catch up to the others, bye Zhichi." she quickly nodded to Daina and pecked You Xi Wang on his cheeks and rushed to catch up with the rest of the doctors. Susan had been working very hard to get a promotion. Daina was surprised to see this display of affection.

Zhichi whispered to her, "That's one of my sisters-in-law." Daina raised her eyebrow at You Xi Wang with a cunning smile on her lips. You Xi Wang spoke with a stone face, "Before you try to tease me. Sort out what happened to Teacher Maddison." his cold voice shook Daina for a second but then she reverted back to her original style. She picked up her Holo-Phone and called Arthur Clarke. The call rang for a long time and then it was picked up. 

Daina spoke, "Hey Clarke, where is Maddie? She is needed at the academy." her voice did not falter as to rattle the snake. She put the call on speaker so that the two people could listen.

The other side replied, "Oh, well, you see Daina. We are out on a trip. I told Maddie that, you want to talk to her but she said she will call you when we get back to the city. Okay, I need to go back inside. Bye, take care." and the call was disconnected directly. 

Daina was about to burst in rage when You Xi Wang suddenly held her wrist. He spoke, "LUCY, connect to this Holo-Phone and track the person called Arthur Clarke. Get me a detailed report of his activity last week." 

LUCY replied immediately, "Yes, Master. Master, I suggest we check this person's banking history as well."

You Xi Wang nodded and said, "Good, do that. NOt only his banking history but check his movement over the city as well. Whom he interacted with and who he met. I want to know everything within an hour."

LUCY complied, "As you wish master."

Daina was shocked, You Zhichi has seen LUCY earlier in the vehicle but she was not aware of what sort of entity LUCY was. This time she could not hold back and asked her brother, "Gougou, who is this Lucy? When did you hire such a person?"

Before You Xi Wang could reply, LUCY spoke up, "Young Miss, Hello, I am LUCY, an artificial intelligence created by Young Master You Xi Wang to help him in day-to-day monitoring and command execution. What you see in front of you is a Remote Uplink to my core program."

You Xi Wang himself was surprised. He spoke, "LUCY, why did you answer?"

LUCY replied, "Master, your previous behavior suggests that you trust your sister more than anyone else. She also follows the same path of faith as you. That is why I judged that there will be no problem in telling her my real identity."

You Xi Wang did not expect LUCY to act on behavior analysis. He spoke, "Administrator Command."

LUCY replied, "Waiting for command."

You Xi Wang spoke, "Never act without consultation."

LUCY replied, "Command accepted. Execution successful." after a pause, LUCY spoke again, "Master, may I know the reason behind your decision?"

You Xi Wang spoke, "Initiate command code: RVRT SAM"

LUCY replied, "Command activated." You Xi Wang spoke to the system inside him, 'Fucking over smart ass. Fix this. The programs are not supposed to question. They can warn in case of self-harm but NEVER question. You fix it RIGHT NOW.'

The system spoke, [Yes, Master. I may have coded a bit too much. I am on it.]

You Zhichi and Daina were looking at him with their mouth open big enough to fit a quail egg inside. You Xi Wang spoke, "Oh, come on don't be so exaggerated. This thing is still in experimental phases and it won't go crazy okay. Let's go, Teach Maddie is unlikely to wake up before tomorrow. We need to deal with this guy first and also complete the registration in the academy."

The two people came back to their senses and nodded. You Xi Wang too them out of the hospital. He rode his Countach with his sister while Daina followed on her Lev-bike. Though the moment this iron lady spotted the Countach her eyes burned with a fire of desire. If not for her reputation as a teacher she would have really asked You Xi Wang for a ride."

They reached the school in twenty minutes. Daina had to take her class and separated from the two siblings. They walked through the academy and came to the central hall where they were allowed to register for the second round of the battle fest. They spotted some familiar faces among the 6 people gathered to register. All these guys were beaten by You Xi Wang earlier. Jack nodded to him lightly and the rest scowled or ignored him. 

They had gained a lot in the past month and were now at the peak of the Core formation realm. You Xi Wang shook his head, too lazy to entertain these chimps. You Zhichi naturally had no intention to talk to these people if they were to be cold to her brother. They walked over to the instructor. You Xi Wang spoke along with his sister, "I have seen the instructor."

The instructor addressed was no one else but Adonis. He smiled at You Xi Wang and You Zhichi and then his smile froze. He pointed at You Xi Wang and said, "Boy, I understand your sister breaking into the Primal Soul Realm but you too? What did you gain in the Elven dimension?" 

You Xi Wang spoke faintly, "I almost died. Treasure and trouble co-exist instructor."

Adonis nodded. These three people ignored the shock the other people inside the hall went through. They did not expect this handsome white-faced boy in front of them to be a Primal Soul Realm boy. Adonis sensed their shock and spoke, "Also, I heard how you eradicated the Colt Dark Dwellers. Good job."

Another explosion sounded inside the brain of six people. Especially the Paul siblings who thought that they will avenge themselves this time. Their hearts were a mess at this moment. You Xi Wang took down a whole family of dark dwellers. This was a major accomplishment. He was not someone they should mess with. Adonis continued, "Okay you guys, put down your fingers on the registration panel and we are done."

The two people came forward one by one and Adonis handed them a tablet. They punched in their thumbs and their identities popped up on the tab. Adonis tweaked with the tab a few moments and then he said, "Okay, done. We are set. You are free for the night and tomorrow at noon. Report in the evening and we will depart to the venue."

"YES INSTRUCTOR ADONIS"   

They replied in unison and You Xi Wang left with his sister. They were headed to the Tianlong office to find out what happened to Maddison.
