LIFE Academy Rewrite/Au. (In Progress.)

Chapter 9

     Ryan and Jay walked through the long hallway, again for Ryan, but Jay has been through here as many times as he can count. "Jay! Why are you holding me so tight?? What's the rush??"

     "The faster we take you, the faster this is over!" *He overly optimistic says in a robotic tone. "Yeah but, it's nice if we could walk?? I mean I know you're me as a robot. But it would be nice to walk for a bit, even if you don't get tired." Jay slowed his walking. He doesn't follow directions that much since he does his own thing sometimes as well. "Fine, but time will be wasted."

     "Hey Jay? Did you get a massive upgrade or something?"

     "Yes! Since due to my brain being half human it still grows, it will stop growing once I hit the actual age the frontal lobe stops growing at. There are actually many technical upgrades in my body! I can scan things way much better, I can translate languages, read faster, and run better now!" Jay always sounded very over positive even though he's a robot. He wrote a red hoodie, with the sleeves cut off, one of his eyes were black or a dark gray color, and one of them was red. He has the same hair color as Ryan though. He has metal spots on where his arms were extended. He has a flesh -like texture that mimics human skin, even though his eyelids are robotic. But he wasn't programmed to fight or anything else like fighting. Since he doesn't have the capabilities to do so in his program. "Still can't fight?" Ryan asked.

     "Nope!"

     "You are something else Jay- how are you so unbothered with the fact you can't fight still? I mean what happens if you're in a situation where you can't defend yourself when we aren't here?"

    Jay fell silent for a moment while they walked and talked. You can hear his insides whirling softly inside of his body up to his head down to his waist. "I run. Even though I can outrun them, I will still run." Ryan thought for a moment. He finds it strange how Jay hasn't done any harm after somehow gaining a semi consciousness of his own. He wanted to ask how he does it. "Jay?"

     "Yes Ryan?"

     "How do you do it? Staying good- like you have some form of identity of your own right?"

     "How do I do it? Hmm...well, I plug myself in every night to charge, even though I can use the daylight as my charge and use the solar panels I have." Ryan smiled and shook his head. "Nonoo, I mean how do you contain all of that stuff in your head and still be...You? You might have misunderstood what I asked you."

     "Oh. Now I understand. I just...Gather information that I think would suit me as a robot. And how much my programming can fit to make me have a personality. Even though I'm actually part of you, robot you. I have erased any memories that you have to have more storage. But to also have my own. I think I'm doing just fine being here with you guys due to the fact you can just fix me up if I ever need repairs, and how there is almost no hostility when I'm with you guys. You people are good people." Ryan gave a sincere look at Jay. Glad to see he is on their side. "Hey how come you were being weird with Mr. Victor?"

     "Well. I just took in information about him and how he's your teacher. I said you're him aren't you."

     "...I...feel like that's a little bit Misleading- "

     "Hmm...maybe. Go tell him when you see him that I just noticed that he's the teacher! Might've misled him a bit."

     "Yeah, best I do that when I get the chance to do it! Anyways I have a question, do you have any information on me? I'm curious." He asked. Jay processed for a moment to grab the information of Ryan in his memory base. He then spoke clearly.

"You are currently 18 in this year of 2019, and your birthday is on June 18. You were born in 2001. Your mother's name is Clementine Mikhailov, married but her husband has been missing since 2004. You have ginger curly hair medium length; you are approximately 6'3" inches and half tall! You have the fire rune. You are as of right now currently one of the oldest rune users to have it aside from your dad. You have this many family members alive on your dad's side; Bridgette, Alexander, your uncle, and a distant family member in Russia. So, 3 people left that have the fire rune. Well, excluding your father. Anyways we are here!" Before Ryan could say anything, Jay pushed him into the testing lab. "What- hey! Wait! Jay! And he's gone. Great." He sighed and took a seat on one of the chairs. "I hate it whenever they test me out in the tubes. Augh, all that breathable liquid...it tastes weird. And I get weird dreams too! Ugh." Then the door is heard being open, it's Petra the dean. But also, the scientist of the school. He was short but chubby, he looks blasian with short curly dark brown hair with cyan eyes that have big round glasses. "Ryan! It's so nice to see you again!" Petra says happily. He goes over to shake his hand and to give him a slight hug. "Nice to see you too Petra! So, you are going to re-check my mana levels?"
