Novel Full Chapter 74 - 'A' Gathering.
They need not to wait long. Five minutes after, the result was out. And behold, shout of various forms echoed throughout every corner of the vulture. Some were of happiness while others….
Emma looked at the result of the knight, and it pleased him. He grades the knight from F to A. F being the lowest while A being the highest. 60% of the knight belong to the F categories, 20% in E categories, 10% in D categories, 6% in C categories, 3% in B, and 1% percent in A.
"Zeus, find me a place. I need to talk with A category."
[[Done sir.]]
Hmm!
Emma raised his brow. That was too fast. "Zeus, how do you do that?"
[[Predictive analysis. I already predicted a 70% probability of you asking for an audience with the knight. So, I already find the building before you ask.]]
Oh!
Nodding his head. "You are evolving," he murmured.
>>Your AI is catching up. Soon, he functions perfectly without waiting for your instructions. I never believe your AI could improve this fast.
'What do you expect? Who do you think created it?' He puffed his chest proudly.
>>Tsk. This is nothing in my eyes. He's just an infant. You have a long way to go.
'That… you don't have to tell me.'
"Notify the knight… We are meeting by 8 pm."
…
At the center of the city, in an underground building. Many people gathered, murmuring. Every second, they would look at the entrance. However, it had been one hour since they gathered while checking the entrance, but no one entered since the last person. The people became restless while their murmurs became louder.
"Good evening everyone." A voice echoed throughout the room.
At once, everyone in the room turned their head to the source of the sound. All eyes fixed on the young man standing on the small stage with a mask over his head. They wondered when did he enter. However, everyone held their thought also silence reign everywhere.
"Please find a seat."
The people sat, looking at the young man with a lot of questions in their minds. Seeing the expression of shock and puzzlement on their face, the young man uttered. "I would answer all your questions. Relax while I explain the purpose of this gathering."
The people nodded, waiting for the young man to continue. "Now…. Welcome to Terra World. This is an official welcome. I believe you have seen an official of Terra world. Right?"
The people nodded with their eyes widened. An official of Terra World! They shouted in their mind. Everyone wanted to know where Terra World came from and the company behind it. But they had nowhere to look or who to ask. But today, they finally meet an official, their hearts race, and breath quickened.
The young man ignored their inquisitive gaze and continue. "Instead of the unnecessary thought in your mind. Why don't you ask yourself… why did I have the privilege of meeting the official?"
Hearing this, the people were confused at first, but quickly they understand what the young man was insinuating. Watching that, some of the people understand what he meant. He smiled. "Some of you understand the meaning behind my word. Now, without further ado, let me tell you why you are here." He looked at everyone in the room one after the other while the people held their breaths.
"First. All of you here are knights. Also, you pass the test with the highest score. So you are in A category with the rank of 0" He paused and continued. "I congratulated you all for passing the test with the highest score. Terra never treats her people badly. I believe you know that."
They nodded.
"Good. Since you pass both the physical test and the knowledge test. Terra officially recognized you. From the moment onward, your life is never the same. You have two choices. One joined the Terra officially and two…. You don't want to know."
"Your choice."
The room descended into perfect silence. The people looked at each other, waiting for the first person to talk. Suddenly, a well-built lady stood up.
"I believe since we join Terra World. We don't have any choice. We already see our self has part of Terra World." She announced confidently.
Everyone in the room nodded. They looked at the young man, waiting… The young man smiled. "Jojo. Age 32, eight-year in service in Beta military. Rank sergeant. Currently Single. Do I miss anything?"
Hearing her bio-data. It doesn't surprise Jojo. She answered. "No, sir."
"I like you and likewise, I don't like you."
What!
How could someone like a person and also dislike that person?
Jojo raised her brow, looking at the young man without blinking. "Why, sir?"
"I like your straightforwardness. But I also dislike it." The young man left the stage, approaching Jojo while his eyes never leave her face. "Straightforwardness is good when you are alone with your boss or any person. While also you have the capability of bearing the consequence of your straightforwardness." He stopped in front of Jojo with ten inches of space between their faces.
Jojo held her breath, looking straight into the deep blue eyes of the young man, overwhelmed by the dangerous feeling coming from him. So dangerous! How many battles has he fought! These thoughts rang in her head, but her expression did not change.
The young man averts his gaze and looked at the dumbfounded people. "Jojo, there are captains, major, among the people sitting here. Why did you think they didn't stand up?" He turned to her.
Hearing this made Jojo speechless. How would I know? She shouted in her mind. Seeing this, the young man chucked and went back to the stage.
Beep!
A big screen appeared behind the young man. While everyone turned their attention to the screen, not knowing what was going on.
"Jojo, what you are seeing is the prediction of today, even. And this prediction happens 2 hours ago."
Everyone looked at the data appearing on the screen, and their jaw dropped. Jojo had an 80% percent probability of standing up when the young man asked, while a middle-aged man had 75% of standing up.
Seeing the data, Jojo did not know how to feel. She looked at the screen back to the young man in total shock. "Some of you wouldn't believe this data. But I have nothing to gain in deceiving you. But let ask the second person on the list. Mr. Fago."
"What do you think, Mr. Fago?" He looked at the bald, middle-aged man.
Fago with the shock still present in his eyes. "S-Sir. I have nothing to say. If Miss Jojo had waited for another ten seconds. I would have stood up and replied."
Gasp!
Jaw dropped, and eyes widened. They look from Jojo to Fago and back to the young man. Most of them knew AI and its capabilities, but this would be their first. Predicting human behavior and response. This would be their first time witnessing it.
"Don't look surprised. Out there are many powerful systems than this. Now, since we've validated the authenticity of this data, let us go back to our previous conversation." The young man announced calmly. "Jojo, did you learn your lesson now?"
Jojo release a sigh and nodded. "I should be conscious of my surrounding before making any decision." She's not a kid. Having spent many years in the military and on the battlefield. She knew the danger of her action. But no one had ever criticized her behavior. This would be the first.
Listening to Jojo's acknowledgment, some people sighed. Terra is not simple as they thought. The young man on the podium waits for a few seconds for the tense atmosphere to diffuse before clearing his throat.
"Miss. Jojo, you can sit. Now, scheming in Terra is not permitted, but you can try. That is why I like Miss Jojo's straightforwardness. However, you won't be dealing with Terra. Your opponent, enemies, whatever you may call them, need your scheming minds. Since we have a system that could predict your action, likewise the enemy would also have something of such. So, this lesson is for everyone. Is this clear?"
They nodded.
"Good." He paused for a few seconds and continue while all eyes were on him, listening with rapt attention. "Now, you are all A knight with rank 0… Tomorrow, you will sign a contract bounding you to Terra World and Beyond. Don't worry, this is just a confidentiality contract."
Beep! Beep!
Immediately, various notifications echoed in the spacious room. However, the people didn't look at it. Their gaze was still on the young man. Seeing this, the young man nodded. "That's the copy of the contract. So when you leave here you can review. Terra is an open world. We won't treat our family badly. Can we?"
Some people chuckled.
"Now, you know each other. Why?" he looked at the face of everyone, but none of them have the intention of answering. He gave a small laugh. "If you know the answer, please talk. Don't let this gathering be boring. Would you?"
