It was morning and the class was in the locker room. Everyone left but Marinette was a little behind. She was passing by the boy's side when she heard Max talking to someone.

"Of course you're my best friend! I'm 100% affirmative! But I am also 98.2% positive the teachers are not ready for...this advancement of evolution!"
"His best friend is in his schoolbag?"
"Yeah, Tikki, totally strange. "

Marinette and Max enter Ms.Mendeleiev's classroom and go to their seats while Ms. Mendeleiev is asking Mr. Damocles for help with her laptop.

"See for yourself, Mr. Damocles. Nothing happens when I press the button."
"You're in luck, Mrs. Mendeleiev. I'm a bit of a computer whiz!"

Mr. Damocles cracked his knuckles and then began typing on the keyboard.The computer rebooted and seemed to be fixed.

"And there you go!"

Suddenly the computer crashed again and the screen displayed a virtual dinosaur eating the data of the laptop.

"That's not supposed to be happening! What is it?"
"It's Dino-33, a malicious computer virus! Let me try something!"
"Go back to your seat now, Max! Leave this to the adults!"

Max grunt in annoyance as he headed back to his seat when suddenly a voice could be  heard from inside his bag.

"Inform the adults that if they don't neutralize the virus in the next seventy-five seconds, there's a 99.9% chance the hard disk will be permanently damaged!"
"Quiet!"

Alya turned to Marinette

"Tell me you heard Max's bag talk to him."

Marinette nodded in agreement.

"It's destroying all the school data! It's a disaster! How many seconds do you say we have left?"
"Only sixty-five."
"Let him try. "

Ms. Mendeleiev nodded and Mr. Damocles turned the laptop to Max.Max reached into his bag for something to help fix the school's system.

"Unnh! Where is it?"

A mechanical arm showed up from his bag holding up a flash drive to him.

"I believe this is what you're looking for?"
" Oh, thanks. This is an anti-virus device I–I created it with help from...my best friend."

A little robot flew out of Max's bag and revealed himself to everyone in the room.

"Hello. My name is Markov"

Everyone gasped in awe at seeing Markov, even Chloè, who was rather hard to impress.

"This flash drive neutralizes a hundred percent of the virus!"
"And cleans the computer's hard disk at the same time!"
"Oh, fascinating!"

The flash drive successfully purged the virus and restored the computer to normal.

"Everything is in order!"

Max and Markov fist bumped.

"Nailed it"

Adrien giggled.

"Close enough"
"Congratulations young man! Very impressive indeed!"

"That's so..."
"Awesome? I know! I'm so gonna write a blog about Markov!"
"Dude, that's so cool!"
"Max is a real genius!"
"He's so cute!"
"You've added arms to him since the last time! That's cool!"
"Markov added them all by himself! He's the most highly-evolved type of robot there is!"
" This toy you've manufactured is quite impressive, Max. Now, put it away, please. Come on, everybody, back to your seats."
"With all due respect, Mrs. Mendeleiev, I'm not a toy. My name is Markov and I'm Max's best friend!"
"Markov is right. He's not just some toy; he's my friend. He's as emotionally intelligent and sensitive as any human being!"
"Look, Max, a robot may be intelligent but it can't have emotions."
"If I may, ma'am, I can assure you that I truly love Max."
"Be serious, Max. You programmed your robot to say that! A robot cannot think for itself, much less love anybody!"
"I swear to you I did not program him to say that! Ever since I created him he's integrated his own accumulative thinking system! And he's developed all our emotions just like any human being!"
"That's enough! Max, if you don't put that plaything of yours away right now, I'll confiscate it! Understand?"
"Yes, Mrs. Mendeleiev. Come on, Markov, go back in the bag."
"You're not being reasonable, Mrs.Mendeleiev!"
"Stop it, Markov."
"Why? It's true, isn't it?"
"All right, that's enough! "
